Wednesday Loves

Linking up for WILW

{Family Pics}
I'm loving that I can finally share mine and Coral's family pics.
Yes, she is wearing a tutu.
I love how they turned out.

{Christmas Cards}
Everyone that I sent cards to should have received them by now so I can finally share which one I picked.
I always use Shutterfly...this year my cards kind of broke the bank.
I looked through every card they offered and then when I went to compare the ones I liked, they all just so happened to be Erin Condren cards...which are a little more pricey than some of the other cards offered, but I just couldn't find any other card that I loved.
I LOVED all of the Erin Condren designs.
Go figure!



{12 Dates of Christmas}
I loved this movie...
My sister and I watched it Monday night.
So cute!

{New Girl}
Most of my shows are done until after Christmas, but I loved that New Girl was new last night.
I'm pretty sure that this is my absolute favorite show right now.
I love it!



{Tacky Christmas}
I'm loving the tacky Christmas sweaters that I found at the thrift store yesterday.
They should be perfect for my Tacky Christmas party on Friday.
Don't worry, I will blog about the party next week.
Should be a blast!

{Spreading the Love}
I'm loving our Christmas card door.
I hung them all up last night.
Sorry for the blurriness, is that a word?

Moving on...

Happy hump day!

2 more days until Friday...
and 4 more school days until Christmas vacation!
Gotta Love that!

Miscellany Monday

Write random and link up.

{New Orleans} 
I had an amazing weekend and already want to go back.
I went to visit my friend, Kent, and we had a great time.
Friday, we spent the day at the zoo...
My favorite animals were the little black bears
 and the white alligator.
Friday night, we went to Celebration in the Oaks in City Park.
It was so much fun.
There were lights everywhere.
We rode some rides...
The ferris wheel
the carousel
and all the spinny rides that I'm so shocked didn't make us sick.

We also walked around and ejoyed seeing all of the lights.

Saturday, we went to Kent's work Christmas party.
It was at an Alabama bar in NOLA and it was so much fun.


It was a blast and I am really looking forward to going back for the National Championship game.

{New Favorite Song}


{Diet}
I am starting fresh with my Vegetarian diet.
The only meat I ate this past week was pepperoni on my pizza, but a fail is a fail and I am now starting over.
My goal is to go 2 weeks.
I will keep you all posted.

{101 in 1001 Update}
It's been a while since I've updated.
Here goes...
Leave a 100% tip for someone.  (1/6)
Kent and I went to lunch today before I flew out and we had the most awesome server ever.
I hope he was happy with his tip.
Pay off credit cards.  (2/3)
Visit friends in other states.  (3/10)

{Mingle Monday}
Happy Mingling!

Wishful Wednesday

Wednesday means 3 linkups.
1st up
Linking up with Jamie for WILW
{Vacation}
So as you all know, I didn't get to go to the beach this past weekend.
I was so incredibly bummed, but it just didn't work out.
However, I figured out a way to still sneak in a little vacation this weekend.
It only cost me $5 thanks to my free flight that I earned through Southwest.
I am going to NEW ORLEANS.  I am so excited!

I hope to be making a second trip there for the National Championship, which brings me to my next point.

{Bama}
I am loving my football team!
Bama and LSU are rematching for the national champion title.
I am so excited!!

{Uncrustables}
I'm loving my new favorite lunch addiction.
I love them!
