I've been known to be a list maker...but somehow I end up losing my lists. Every.time. Kinda defeats the purpose, huh? So I'm going to post this week's to-do list so I have it where I can remember it. Hopefully :)

No I have not made a decision on nursery bedding. I have gone back and forth now between four. freaking. bedding. sets. Yes, those are all the links to the sets :) The last one is the most recent shop I found on Etsy. They're more affordable than the second set I'd looked at. Now I'm just waiting to hear back from the seller on if she's able to rush order and a final price quote. Wish me luck!! This might be the end of all this drama! :p

Ronnie is going to put together the dresser for the nursery today! We'd been scouring Craigslist and antique shops for the perfect vintage dresser to also double as a changing table but we just never found one. We did one time but someone beat us to it! :( So we finally decided to just get a seperate changing table and to get a simple dresser from IKEA. I bought some pretty little purple organizers for the inside of it and am kinda excited about it!

I need to buy shower hostess gifts. My shower this weekend is hosted by my mom, three aunts and one cousin. That's a lot of people to buy for but I know they've all done so much to put this together. Now my dilemma is, WHAT DO I GET THEM? They ALL love wine so that was an option but it just feels like the easy way out. I need special gifts but have no idea. All help would be much appreciated!

I found two dresses I LOVE at Destination Maternity for my shower so my to-do for today is to go by the store and see if they have them in stock. If not, I'm about to spend a buttload to have one of them shipped to me by Friday :/ I hate being such a procrastinator! My favorite is the purple one. What do you think?

Finally, my plan is to buy frames this week and then spray paint them on Sunday. I plan to use them on a wall in the nursery, maybe even right above her crib. I want to do them them in purple, pink and lime green. I won't be using nearly this many frames but just so you get the idea ;)

Hoo Am I?

Today's my first ever link up with Night Owl Crafting!

I'm not full of myself in any way ... but when it comes to answering random questions about myself I am ALL OVER IT. ha! And since I don't have a whole lot on my mind today {besides the moving stuff of course. thxforallyourawesomecomments!} I thought this would be perfect! I guess it's a good day when there's not much on the brain, right? Tuesday's treating me right!

{Join in and check out Leslie's blog, it's the cutest!}
1. How often do you wash your vehicle?
Not often enough! My car was probably washed oh, about 2 months ago. She used to be red and now she's looking a reddish gray :/

2. When riding in a car with someone who usually drives, them or you?
Definitely them because I'm lazy and I hate driving :)

3. How many states have you traveled to or through?
I'm so lame! Only 6 states! I definitely need to work on that. So far {other than my home state of Texas obvs} I've been to California, Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado, Indiana and Kentucky.

4. What kind of music do you listen to the most?
Indie rock and classic rock. And in my old age, I'm getting into all the popular dancey, hip-hop stuff too. Much to Ronnie's dismay ;)

 5. Do you prefer the window down or air conditioning?
A/C all the way! I'm in Texas, remember? About the only time we can have windows down is during March, October and November. The rest of the time it's too hot or too cold!

But wait - there's more! :) Do y'all watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey? It's actually my favorite out of the entire series {I know, I know} and I would just like to say that I have totally fallen out of like with Teresa. I mean, how can someone be so dumb? It used to be semi-endearing but now, it's just I dunno...ay ay ay. I realize she was born in Italy but she grew up in the U.S. so how does she still not know how to speak correctly?! And is it just me or is she over the top self-absorbed this season? AGH! Frustrating.

But anyhoo {hehe. get it?} - I hope you guys are having a fabulous Tuesday so far!

A whole lotta random

Happy Tuesday, good lady friends of mine!

I had a post all ready to go yesterday and totes forgot to publish it. I wasn't feeling it really. But I did have the best 3 day weekend ever and the best Easter ever! I spent quality time with my honey and doggies, then we spent some fun time with our families so it was PERFECT. And from the look of y'alls posts, your weekends were great too! :D

Now this week I am crazy busy at work, in preparation for the trade show/conference my company is holding in Fort Worth next week...which means I'll be out of town from Sunday through Thursday! I go out of town only 3-5 times a year but it's always for a week or two so I really hate the being away from home part...oh yeah and the hard work part. But it is like a big reunion every time, seeing people we haven't seen since the last conference and that is what I look forward to! During these trips we work long days and party network all night and my no-longer-21-year-old self can barely handle it. I'm so beat afterwards that I normally sleep all day when I get back into town but I won't be able to this time... because I'll be back just in time to prepare for Ronnie's 30th Birthday!!

Speaking of which, I still have not bought him a gift. AGH! I know. World's.worst.fiance. But in the off chance Ronnie decides to be sneaky and read this, I won't say anymore about his birthday... because I do have some tricks up my sleeve!! bwahahaha.

And told you this was random because I'm totally posting a pic of my cutie boys from this past weekend! After Ronnie laid out his fresh out of the dryer laundry on the bed, Niles got busted rolling around in it while Frasier didn't seem to care, he stayed cuddled under the warm t-shirts. Precious babies! :)  

Which reminds me, April is Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Month! The month's almost over but you can always do your part to help prevent animal cruelty! We saved our black dog, Frasier and I'm so thankful we did!! Ronnie also saved another black wiener dog who he found starving and cold, chained to the porch of a house. Apparently the family had moved out and left him behind. But he's happy and healthy in his new home now so it just goes to show you, everyone can help!... Ok...Off my soap box.

But wait...there's more! Check out the amazing Tanya over at A Taste of T. She is so sweet and I love her blog! {Also, she lives right up 35 from me so I'm thinking we'll need a meetup at some point! ;)} She's having an awesome giveaway right now from Vintage Poster so get over there and ENTER!!

So yeah..that's all I've got today!

I didn't intend to talk so much..I mostly wanted to drop in and say HELLO! :D

But have an awesome day, y'all! It's back to work for me!

Oy.

I am not feeling it today.

Have you ever had one of those days where EVERYTHING irritates you? {If you never have, you are so freaking lucky!} If you have though, you'll understand the feeling I got this morning when I walked into work and could already feel the irritation the moment the first person started talking to me.

I am just hyper sensitive to every sound today...every crunch of food, every sneeze, every annoying laugh. Wow. I am just irritable. Surely it must be the impending Miss who should be visiting me sometime next week.
