That's What I Love about Wednesdays...

I am loving that when you hang out with 6 year olds, you can make a big deal out of anything whether it be the 100th day of school (which is next Wednesday and they are wayyy excited already) or Groundhogs Day.


How cute are they?

I am loving my dog(s). I went to tell my mom I had a snow day last Friday and found Bentley like this...

(That lump on the right is my momma.)

Brent and I took Bentley and our love child on a walk Sunday. They are BFFs. Love em.
I am embarrassed to say....I am loving reality TV. Have you all watched the new American Idol? I love Steven Tyler! Oh...and my guiltiest pleasure...
MTV's Teen Mom 2 starring Jenelle Chelsea Leah and Kailyn
Leah and Corey are my faves. They are from WV so I feel connected to them.

I am loving a good deal/sale. I spent over $100 on the J Crew Factory Outlet website and got it for $21 (shipping included). I especially love gift cards and 60% deals.

I am LOVING our plans for a reunion in T minus 30 days!! Let's plan something super exciting this summer that Gina can come to!

I am loving this video I found on my computer. I LOLed. Listen to Amanda in the background.


WILW

I'm loving that this week is halfway over and we all know what that means...
I'm loving that the silly little groundhog DID NOT see his shadow!! WOOHOO! An early spring. (I only choose to believe in Groundhog day when he doesn't see his shadow!)
I'm loving this spring outfit!! The Groundhog is getting me more than ready to trade in my sweaters for some sandals! I love this shirt (that buttons down the back), the shorts, and the sandals! Bring on the sunshine!
I'm loving what a wonderful weekend I had with TJ here! We had so much fun and didn't really do anything spectacular...just hung out! But it was really good to see him and get to kiss and cuddle with him spend some time together.
I'm loving this video for many reasons...
  1. I'm loving that we get to have a girls' weekend seeing him sing this song and manyothers. (Though I am NOT loving that Gina won't be able to join us!!!)
  2. I'm loving that Carrie Underwood nudges Jeff Gordan because he forgets to announce Kelly Clarkson.
  3. I'm loving this song!!
  4. I'm loving Kelly's pink earplugs! Gotta preserve that hearing and why not wear pink while doing it!
  5. I'm loving that Kelly Clarkson doesn't weigh 90 lbs like everyone else in Hollywood and she still rocks out!

That's what I'm loving. What about you...

Hello my far apart friends! It's hump day and this is my new favorite thing. Sooo looks it's time for...
I'm loving that this week is almost over! Woohooo. Between the snow and school work I am in need of a weekend. I don't know about you all but the thought of sleeping in Saturday is already making me excited!!!

I'm loving that Ryan, Brooke, and Landri came to visit last weekend. We had SO much fun. They are always good for a laugh. So blessed to have them. Andddd we got to go to Wild Eggs for breakfast which is another thing I was loving!


I'm loving running in the cold which is good considering it seems it will be that way forever! I never thought I would do this but now I can't get enough of it. Luckily, I don't love it as much as this guy....

I'm loving that I have a certain visitor coming this weekend! I'm also nervous as all get out. I feel like I really need this weekend to see what things are like away from everyone back home and just us.

I'm loving all these things from the JCrew website. Now, who wants to buy them for me? Not that I have a place to wear some of them, but they are cute!


I'm loving this video. First, it's amazing the things that happen when you are bored waiting for someone in the car. Second, notice the benefit of getting that toy mic from a happy meal. Third, Whitney goes through literally every emotion in this. She's mad, she's happy, she's a little sad. And finally, let me tell you that every time I watch this I laugh just as hard as when it was happening.


Happy Wednesday! Loving you!!!

Remember those surveys that tweens people use to do on myspace? Well I was never a myspacer so I am making up for it...

  • 1. If you could build a house anywhere, where would it be?

    Hmmm well in real life I would love to find a spot in "middle ground" between Ashland and Boyd County with plenty of land but still some neighbors near by. In dream/survey land I would want somewhere warm or tropical. Brent is on a big Hawaii kick right now but that is just really far away. I could go for somewhere in South Carolina or Florida. Maybe I could be neighbors with the Walkers in HHI.
  • 2.What's your favorite article of clothing?
  • Sweat pants. As soon as I get home from school I put on a comfy pair of sweats. Oh and cotton dresses. What not to like? Comfy. Flattering. Flowy...."that thin white cotton dress..."
  • 3. Favorite physical feature of the opposite sex?
  • Physical. Sheesh. Way to be shallow survey maker. Well Brent has great teeth and a very pretty smile and good muscular legs (just to mention a few). If he had cankles I don't think we would have lasted as long as we have. There. Does that make me shallow?
  • 4. What's the last CD that you bought?
  • I'm not gonna lie. I totally downloaded T. Swift's CD on my ipizzle. I love that Back to December.
  • 5.Where's your favorite place to be?
  • As gay as it sounds I love my classroom. I wouldn't say that it is my favorite though. I love being home with my fam having a "game night." Oh and the Euclid Estate. I loved that place, but Survey maker acted like he only wanted present tense so I will go with home.
  • 6. Where's your least favorite place to be?
    Gyno. Hospital. Or any type of doctors office.
  • 7. What's your favorite place to be massaged?
  • Bow chicka wow wow. My back. Pervs.
  • 8. Strong in mind or strong in body?
    I am in no way strong so I will go with strong minded.
  • 9. What time do you wake in the morning?
  • 9:15 today ...tomorrow my alarm is set for 5:30. Ugh.
  • 10. What's your favorite kitchen appliance?
    Survey maker, I am starting to wonder about you. Ummm I will go with a spoon because it is so resourceful. You can scoop, stir, even cut in times of desperation.
  • 11. What makes you really angry?
  • Bad parents. Don't get me started.
  • 12. If you could play any instrument, what would it be?
    Piano. I have alway wished I would have taken lessons.
  • 13. Favorite color?
    Pink and blue.
  • 14. Which do you prefer, sports car or SUV?
  • SUV. Despite LL Cool car guzzling down the gas, he make me feel very safe all the time.
  • 15. Do you believe in afterlife?
    Yea baby!
    "My home is in Heaven. I'm just traveling through this world."-Billy Graham
  • 17. Favorite children's book?
    I am a teacher so I have a whoooollle lot of favorite bookS but my class and I love Junie B. Jones, she makes me LOL. The other day she called someone a boob. I know I am a 23 year old teacher but I am sorry that is hilarious.
  • 18. What is your favorite season?
    Fall. However Summer is looking better and better right now.
  • 19. What's your least favorite household chore?
    Hmmm that is really hard for me. I will go with loading/emptying the dishwasher.
  • 20. If you could have one super power, what would it be?
    I would want to be able to be invisible. I would love to go walk around big houses and look around. Oh and spy on people. What? Like you all wouldn't.
  • 21. If you have a tattoo, what is it?
  • Brent's face on my back. Oh and my initials in the shape of a butterfly.
  • 22. Can you juggle?
    Kinda. I was a clown once but gave that up for the whole teaching thing plus the paparazzi were just so overwhelming.
  • 23. The one person from your past you wish you could go back and talk to?
    My papaw. I miss him everyday. I would love to tell him all about my job! I know he would be so proud of me!
  • 24. What's your favorite day?
  • Hmmm...I can't pick one. I love the whole weekend. Fridays are my favorite day of schools. That's are fun day.
    25. What's in the trunk of your car?
  • Nothing. I have OCD. It would make me crazy.

  • I know you all already knew all that stuff about me, it was still fun. Keep your fingers crossed for no snow days this week =)

    I'm loving it.

    Happy Wednesday everyone! Here are 10 things I cannot live without! :)
    (not necessarily in this order)

    1. My loving family! A. I wouldn't be here if it weren't for them (literally) and B. I wouldn't
    be where I am today if it weren't for their encouragement and support!
    (I wish I could say I made this collage...but totally stolen from Erika's Blog!)
    2. This not so little dog that thinks he's a real person. I seriously think I would hate living by myself if it weren't for Manny! I mean how can you resist that face anyway?!

    3. YOU! Whoever you are reading this (Hopefully Jane Ann, Britney, Gina, or Amanda)! Like my girl Kelly Clarkson said, my life would suck without you! You are the best! :)
    6. Food and water (duh!). No one can live without that. But I'm more talking about all my favorite foods, good and not so good. And really by water I mean Diet Mountain Dew.
    5. Laughing. I honestly couldn't get through life without it...especially if it's caused by someone falling!

    6. These sweet faces. I can't help but love life and feel so loved when these little girls flash their sweet smiles at me or tell me they miss me! I'm not sure what my family talked about or did before these girls, but I imagine it wasn't near as exciting! And before we know it there will be a boy thrown in the mix!!!


    7. Prayer! I feel like this is really something I've been working on over the last few months. Knowing that God is just a prayer away is so comforting. And it's also something so personal that everyone can do it differently and it's not wrong! :)

    8. Computer! I think it's disgusting that I actually put this, but think about it...a computer can literally replace so many things. Besides providing me with almost all things school...it does just about everything else too!! Don't have food? Send in your pizza order online. Don't have a phone or stamp? Send an email it will get to the point and the person much faster. Need to go Christmas shopping but don't want to fight the crowds? Sign on to literally any where and order something. It's very sad that the world has come to this but with a computer and internet access we can do almost anything.

    9. Chapstick. Love it, gotta have it. Don't know what I would do without it! If I had no other makeup and I had my chapstick...all would be right with the world. (even though a little mascara wouldn't be horrible either)
    10. Dancing. I feel like dance is a lot like laughter for me! It can make any bad day better and any good day great! It makes me so happy. I mean check out this lady...she LOVES life...



    PS- What I'm loving Wednesday: ALL THIS BLOGGING ACTION! WOOHOOO!




    Yane you are so presh! I love the "10 things" thing! Here's the 10 things I can't live without:



    1. My niece!! I can be having the worst day and Sara will skype me or send me a picture or video of Chloe bug and then I am just all smiles. She is so sweet!




    2. My new Iphone. I just got it and don't even know how to use everything on it yet, but it is ALWAYS right beside me.


    3 (The Wrubels-Mom, Dad, and Jenn) and 4 (The Oaks). My Family! We've been through a lot this year and I don't know what I'd do without them!


    5. My boyfriend! I don't know how he puts up with me, but I thank God he does. If it wasn't for him I would have dropped out of Grad School and moved home a lonnnng time ago. He believes in me even when I don't believe in myself. We can laugh, cry, joke, or vent. Needless to say, I can NOT live without him :) (I know mushy, sorry! lol I didn't mean to!)



    6. My baby boy!! Seriously, my dog is awesome. I think he is cooler than most ppl I know lol Everytime I go home I get so excited to see him and he is always so excited to see his sis!





    7. I really don't want to put this after last nights preformace, BUT I still bleed blue! UK basketball is my favorite time of the year!

    8. My planner/ to do list. I write in it/ check things off of it everyday...several times. I LOVE LOVE LOVE being organzied. I guess that's what happens when you live with Jane Ann for so many years haha
    9. My faith quotes I have hanging up all over my room. I read them daily and they remind me what's important :) This one is my favorite: "And who of you by worrying and being anxious can add one unit of measure to his stature or to the span of his life?" - Matthew 6:27


    10. And last, but not least......YOU GIRLS!! I love you all and miss you so much :)


    I am going to be honest. I am not really loving Wednesday. My kids who are usually soooo well behaved have been CRAZY since Friday. They. Are. Exhausting. Plus it is the end of the nine weeks so report cards are going home (I had no idea 1st grade has report cards til last nine weeks.) Plus my KTIP lady called today and she is coming to observe me in two weeks. Plus we had a staff meeting today and Ashland schools are having a budget cut (our coke plant in Ashland is closing) so they are going to have to look into where they can cut back. The principal brought up the fact it could be anyone from instructional assistants to teachers. Ugh. Major stressor. Prayers please. But for the sake of WILW...here goes...

    WILW.jpg


    I am loving Gilmore Girls these days. I mean Luke and Lorelai totally=love. And that Dean...major Hottie!

    Even thought they are giving me wrinkles and grey hair at the tender age of 23...I am still totally loving these cuties.


    (Have no fear, I have signed releases from all their parents to put their pic on the internet...have you all seen my classroom website?)


    I am loving my elliptical. It makes me feel like I can have McDonald's Ice Coffees everyday.

    I am loving that I was apparently a dancing machine on Saturday and my sweet boyfriend humored me and danced with me. See...
    Reming you of something?
