silly things that bug me & silly things that make me happy

-when people post an ad on cragislist without including a picture.

-when it's the mom of 3 with grocery bags covering her arms that helps the mom of 5 open the door and balance kids... instead of the man sitting right in a chair next to the door.

-when you type a word like cajun into a blog post and spell check says you should capitalize it... Cajun? really? why is it so special?

-when people leave their grocery cart in a parking spot instead of walking it to the cart return

-waking up with a headache.... not a good way to start the day.

-when you haven't been to blockbuster for quite sometime, and there are still no good movies you want to see.

-when i'm craving an orange and go to the fridge to peel the nice juiciness... to find we are all out.

-when you get asked "would you like to include gratuity?" instead of having the option to fill it in the receipt on your own. makes me want to tip less. see- isn't that silly for that to bug me? i know, but it does.

{i don't like to be negative... but some things you just have to let out there, so thanks for letting me get those things in the open, now i wont let them get to me as much. or carry them around in my pocket with me. (i saw that somewhere last week... and i can't remember where, if you know what i'm talking about will you remind me where it was? thanks.) and i don't mean to offend any one, so i apologize if i have... totally not on purpose. i also included some of the silly things in life that bring a smile to my face...because i like to smile a lot more than i like to be bugged. don't you?}

*walking into a clean bathroom with organized cupboards.

*when a good movie is about to start on tv just as i'm sitting down to take a break.... even if i've seen the movie 10 times. (like catch and release... i love that movie.)

*clicking on the "hits and misses" icon on yahoo and guessing before i see what the pros say.

*when ziggie follows me around the house and sits at me feet or jumps on my lap to cuddle.

*when i have cute little plants in my house that stay alive! (i do not have a very green thumb... although, i wish i did. maybe someday i'll get better at it when i have some place in my yard for a garden. because that's another thing that would make me very happy... to eat my own grown veggies!)

*fruit snacks.

*when i can hear the thunder, see the dark clouds in the distance and then watch the rain roll across the sky.

*when my body decides to spontaneously bust out in dance. (that darn silly body of mine. don't tell me you've never been caught doing the electric slide in your kitchen by yourself. oh, you haven't? yeah- me either.)

{what bugs you? and what makes you happy?}

giveaways galore

Want a chance to win some goodies? Of course I do, I love prizes!

"Why be pretty when you can be gorgeous? That's the question Too Faced Cosmetics likes to ask. "
-Just Spotted is having a fabulous grab bag makeup giveaway. Visit them here, and leave a comment to enter yourself to win!

This is the ultimate place to find some great giveaways. It's a giveaway carnival... who doesn't like the sounds of that?! After about ten minutes of looking, I was a bit overwhelmed and knew there was great potential for some serious time wasting... so I gathered up the strength to stray away. But, if you have 10 minutes (or 20, or 60) you might want to meander on over and sign yourself up for the chance to be a lucky winner.

free family film festival

I had a fun date with my nieces this morning, we saw "Everyone's Hero", a cute movie about a talking baseball and baseball bat... the girls loved it, so I was happy. Regal theatres has a fabulous program which involves free movies.

yep, that's right FREE- 100% FREE, no strings attached!

How wonderful is that? 2 of my favorite things in one- a free movie! In our theatre they play two different movies, both starting at 10am Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. The movies vary but are all older releases rated G or PG for the little tykes. They have 5 theatres for each movie, that way there's lots of room. But, it still gets packed up to the max, so I'd recommend getting there a little early for a good seat. Come on people, when you say "free", the crowds come runnin'!

Check out your local Regal theatre and see what they have going on! Oh, and if you don't have a "Regal Crown Club Card", I'd highly recommend it. The cost is, once again, free. You get a certain amount of points for each ticket or concession purchase, and at different point intervals you get free stuff.... a free drink, free candy, free popcorn and even free movie tickets. Why not?!
