Featured Blogger, Tv, and Missing Daddy-itis

{one} I woke up to a fabulous email this morning from BlogHer saying that my potty training post is being featured on their site today!!  It really made my day, I won't lie.  Go check me out!!


{two} Poor Emmy was suffering from "missing daddy-itis" yesterday {her words, not mine}  She's at an age now where she realizes that most other dads are home every night and on weekends and holidays, but hers isn't.  It's been really rough on her recently.  It's hard too, because there's noting we can do to change it.  Skip is actually off on Sunday though, so he and Emmy are going to head out for a daddy/daughter date all day.  Fishing, horse-riding, and the park are on the agenda apparently!

{three} Raise your hand if you cried during Grey's last night {raises hand!}  I know some people don't like the character of Christina, but I have always thought she was one of the best.  I don't like how different the show is going to be without her.  I feel disappointed in the lack of goodbye between her and Owen...and her and Callie too!  But the one with Meredith was perfect, so I guess it made up for it.  Did anyone see that shocking revelation at the end?!!?  Not sure how I feel about it...or how realistic it really could be.  At least we have the summer to process.

{four} Charlie is doing so well with her eye patch.  She asks for "pirate time" every morning and gets mad if I won't put another patch on at the end of the day as well.  I am so proud of how easily she has adapted to this!

{five} I really need to stop binge watching shows on Netflix.  First Skip and I were in a West Wing hibernation for weeks.  Now I've discovered One Tree Hill and every night Skip works, I just sit and cram in as many episodes as possible.  I have tons to catch up around the house, but nothing seems as important as finding out if Peyton and Lucas will ever get married.  I'm in the middle of season 6 now and can't wait to finish so I can get back to my life.  Please don't suggest any new shows to me...I have no willpower.

Happy weekend everyone!!

    First Go Charlie!! She's rocking that patch! And I'll bet you are so relieved that it's not a fight to get her to wear them!! Second I totally binged One Tree Hill a couple years ago and did not love Lucas and Peyton! I was team Brooke and Lucas! LOL. And last, it's so hard when littles miss their Daddys! When Brad was out of town last year for work, Preston had such a hard time with it! I hope they have so much fun on their Daddy Daughter date!

    I'm telling you, West Wing was and still is my favorite show. The writing was amazing and the show never got old. You'll have to look up the article that EW did on it a few years ago when they caught up with everyone on the show.

    Glad she's doing ok with the patch!

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.
