Talkin Tuesdays Link Up and Follow Party

Welcome to another Talkin' Tuesday. BUT, we are changing things up, at least for this week.

So why not take a break and Let's just link up!

Feel free to include a snippet about your blog's theme as well. You can post one or two links if you want.

Please take a button and add it to the end of your current post- or your link will be deleted.

This is a fun, DOUBLE-link up, where we get to know a little about each other AND follow our new friends. You can link up 2 urls- like blog, twitter, facebook or even etsy!

You have the choice of leaving the 2 sentences in the Link Name, (1 in the blog URL and 1 for your twitter, etsy, or facebook URL) we've made it long enough where you can save yourself from writing a new post and just leave it here. OR Write a new post on your site with the 2 Sentences.

So what are my 2 things:

1. For the 4th of July, my family rented a lake house down in New Braunfels and went tubing down the Guadalope River. OMG that water was COLD! It was a blast though and all the thunder storms that the weather man was calling for never showed, the sun came out and it was perfect!

2. We stayed Friday - Sunday but packed enough clothes and food to stay near 2 weeks. Why do I always overpack? It would have saved me a whole lot of time and money if I would have just thrown in my bathing suit and a pair of short and shirt since that's what I stayed in the whole time. I brought home nearly as much groceries as I took down. Upside is at least I don't have to go grocery shopping for a few days.

So what are your two things that you did over the weekend?

So what are my 2 things:

I used to get regular pedicures and have my hair highlighted. Now I use that money to buy the monkey clothes and shoes. I'd rather spend it on her and have found a bottle of hair color from Walmart suits me and Poppa just fine. I still get pedicures occassionaly as a treat but not regularly.
I used to always want to go out and do something, movie, dancing, festivals, anything. Now I'd rather take Monkey out during the day to kid friendly events and come home to a rented movie and bottle of wine. I still enjoy time with Poppa but prefer it to be at home. We work though to make sure we go out at least once a month just the two of us and to try something new and different. It's a push but I enjoy it when I do.

So what changed for you?

Happy Tuesday Ya'll.

This is a fun, DOUBLE-link up, where we get to know a little about each other AND follow our new friends.

This week's Topic is Fun and Wacky! Is there a moment from the past week where you found yourself saying outloud 'I can't believe I did that!" I'm sure we all had at least 2 moments where we found ourselves laughing outloud at our self or proclaiming I can't believe I just did that or even I can't believe that just happened. If you can't find anything that made you laugh at yourself from the past week then post something that made you laugh at something or someone else.

Here is our requested rules:

You have the choice of leaving the 2 Fun and Wacky sentences in the Link Name, (1 in the blog URL and 1 for your twitter URL) we've made it long enough where you can save yourself from writing a new post and just leave it here. OR Write a new post on your site with the 2 Fun and Wacky Sentences.

Fun and Wacky Moments from the past week:

I was emailing an ex-coworker complaining about a current coworker and how she was getting on my dang nerves. I went on and on about every little thing the current coworker does that bugs me and hit send. Yep you guessed it, I did not send it to the ex-coworker. Thankfully it didn't go to said current coworker but it did go to another coworker. I can't believe I did that!
This past week I've felt so tired and worn out. I'm hitting the snooze a million times and then having to get up running around to get ready and out the door by 6:15am. So in running late one morning last week I sent my toddler to school in pajamas even though it was a short and shirt set in the wrong drawer and didn't realize until we were pulling in and I also forgot to brush her hair so it was a total mess. On top of that I put pink shoes with the red pajama set. She was looking like a little ragamuffin because her momma has been oh so tired. I can't believe I did that!

So what are your confessions or I can't believe I did that moments from the past week?

___________________________________________

So Let's Begin, here are My 2 Thankfuls for the past week:

1) I am thankful for our new SUV! We quickly outgrew our car and we worked hard at saving to get something bigger for our family.

2) I am thankful for my new house cleaner. I've wanted one for years but just never was busy enough to merit one or had the income to justify it. But with working full time and my 2 part time sid wobbies (work that is really a hobby) then the need for one is great and Poppa agreed so Yay!

So what are two things you are thankful for, what are 2 happy thoughts that got you through the past week?

Link up your post and share with us and link up your facebook or Twitter for others to follow along with you. Be sure to leave comments on blogs you follow, share the love! We are all thankful for comments!

Happy Tuesday Ya'll
