Big things are happening this week for Sunday Favorites.  Now YOU can join in the fun!  I have made my very own button and added a linky at the end of the post!  {Please don't make fun of my button.  I know it's ridiculously simple, but it's all I could handle right now!}


So grab my button, add it to your post, and link up below!

This week's top is Favorite Vacation Spot

I have been very lucky to visit some wonderful places in my lifetime....Barbados, Florida, Punta Cana, London, Paris.  But so far, my favorite vacation destination is San Diego, CA.  Back in the summer of 2004 Skip was stationed at Camp Pendleton for pre-deployment training.  He got a few days leave over the Fourth of July so I flew out there to be with him and just fell in love with the city!  I'm not typically a fan of big cities, but San Diego was cleaner, more laid back, and way less overwhelming than most cities I have been to.  The beaches were huge and relaxing.  And the weather was absolutely perfect!  Skip really liked it too and we even toyed with the idea of moving out there when he got home.  {We did change our minds when we realized how slow-paced everyone is.  Great for vacation, bad for every day life}  It was a perfect four-day weekend and we can't wait to go back there again in the future!

Having some drinks at the Hustler Bar with Larry Flynt {no really!  He was at our table.  Story for another time}

    I would say my favorite so far has been London, but I loved Scotland and Wales too. :) Beautiful country! :)

Spring Giveaway!

First off I want to thank Kim over at Life As I Know I t for becoming my 100 th follower! I love her blog and just know we would hang out all the time if she didn't live across the country. I am completely humbled that 100 people actually want to read what I have to say! Blogging has opened up a whole new world of friendships to me and I would probably not have kept doing it if it was not for all of you! Okay, now it's down to the good stuff. I am *dying* for a little spring around here. We had a few days of warmth and sunshine, but for the past three days it has been raining...again....I heard they have even mobilized our National Guard in case the rivers decide to really get out of hand...you know more than the crazy flooding they've already been doing. Anyways, one of my favorite things to do to get ready for spring is to paint my nails a fun, bright color. So today I am giving away these beauties. One lucky reader will win all four of these fabulous colors! I g...

$50 CSN Giveaway!!

As you all know, I have raved about my love of CSN stores several times before.  They have a huge selection of products and are constantly adding new stores to their website.  My family definitely headed over there to do some of our Christmas shopping, and I was just perusing their selection of flat panel TV stands.      It's one thing, however, for me to tell you how great CSN is.  But it's another for you to experience it yourself.  That is why I am so excited to be sponsoring a $50 gift certificate giveaway to CSN to one of my readers!!!  It's the perfect opportunity to order yourself something you didn't receive for Christmas, or check out their fitness equipment to help with your new year's resolution! Entering is simple...just leave a comment telling me what your new year's resolution is {you can also just say you aren't making any this year if that's the case!}  The giveaway will be open until January 7th 10:00 pm est.
