Playing Catch Up! And the LP Jewelry Roll Winner!

Enter my giveaway for a necklace and earring set from Finders Keepers Jewelry by this Friday at 8 pm EST!

-----------------------------------------------

Happy Tuesday Lovelies! I am finally getting back into the groove of things...the wedding and quick trip home definitely threw me into a tizzy! I am making my way through the hundreds of new items on my Google reader and have been trying to comment as much as possible! Anyway, try to bear with me as I catch up on all of your fabulous lives!!

-----------------------------------------------

As for me, I did make it to the Rue La La Lilly sale last Friday and scored the LP Brighton Multi-Patch dress...super cute and I will post pictures as soon as the dress arrives.

-----------------------------------------------

Next, Holly from Pink is My Signature Color tagged me to participate in the 8 Things Tag. Here goes:

8 Things I Look Forward To:
#1.) Moving back to Georgia.
#2.) Having a house with a yard.
#3.) My birthday and any other holiday.

#4.) Took the dog for a walk.
#5.) Checked my mail and received several sweet notes from my bloggy friends!!!
#6.) Called my insurance company to see why my rates didn't go down on my 25th birthday - it's because California doesn't recognize age as a reason to decrease one's rates...lovely!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who called my insurance company when my rates didn't go down on my 25th birthday -- that was one of the reasons I was looking forward to it :)

Yay! How exciting...I won! This has totally made my Cinco de Mayo (because the drunk, snoring hubby in the bedroom isn't as exciting...too many margaritas!). Thank you for the letting us all chat about cancer...it was great "meeting" people and hearing their responses. Oh, and I'm totally checking out Holly's site now, too...I have b'day presents to buy!!

Emailing you now...

Congrats to the winner.

I lived in the LA area for a bit after graduation from college. I was happy when I moved back home to the Mid-west. Nothing against LA, I guess it was my family that I missed most.

Kate said...

Ooh I love your list. I love SVU and One Tree Hill too! And I want to go to Disneyland tooooo!

And Congrats to the winner of your giveaway!!
