Simply Fabulous Life


What I'm Loving Wednesday!!

So its been a couple of weeks since I was able to join in my link up party for What I am Loving Wednesday and even now we are at the 11th hour but nonetheless here we go because WE have some catching up to do!

I'm Loving...My spontaneous new haircut! I cut off about 5 inches of hair on a whim! It was liberating in so many ways!

I'm Loving...my new Thirty One bag for school! Thank goodness my friend started selling Thirty One, this is JUST what I need for me to be successful this semester in school ;)

I'm Loving...that an editor of a local small town newspaper is interested in some of my writings and even published one last week!!!

I'm Loving...the book club I joined!! We are on our second book, Shoot the Moon, which I finished it last night. I must say this is just FABULOUS! It is broadening my horizons in the world of reading, cultures while getting to know some great women!

I'm Loving...that Cenla Down Syndrome Association is getting some publication! Also my friend is hosting a fundraiser for us through her Pampered Chef !!

I'm Loving...my new FABULOUS job at Little Cakes with Big Attitude! Not only do I get to make everyone's day better with these fabulous gourmet square cupcakes I also get to wear the title Barista! I am still learning all the different coffees!


I'm Loving...these girls!!! God has truly formed these bonds and friendships in His Hand and I am blessed beyond measure to call them friends and these are just a few of the blessings He has blessed me with in life!


I'm Loving...and slightly addicted to Pinterest and the ideas and boards on this website! While I tweaked the 30th birthday gift below I can not take full credit for the creativity of it!!
There's numerous other things that I'm Loving...like that football season is literally around the corner which hopefully that means cooler weather; and that I have been running/walking this week in the mornings and its been glorious; and those moments in the evening when I pull into the driveway that I can just sit in my car and listen to nothing but my own breathing pattern for a minute before anyone else needs my attention; and last but certainly not least blogging, its an outlet and I enjoy it and I appreciate your reading this and the comments!!

Until next time Dearies!!!

What the heck is this Thirty One and how come I'm just now hearing about it? I love that bag! Looks like a nice little Meme bag I could use for my grandbabies. Just sayin'....Oh and I love the haircut. I'm getting ready to do the same in a week...NOT 5" because I barely have 5" but something sassier! ;o) Love you and your blog!!!

What I’m Loving Wednesday

I have not had the chance to be a part of a Link Up blog party since this summer. Today I have a little bit of time so I am taking advantage of such!! SO here we go: What I’m Loving Wednesday!! I am loving my new hot pink vest! Yes you CAN see me coming from a mile away!! I am loving my glitter nails by the Sinful Colors line at Walgreens. I mean who doesn’t  love good quality nail polish for $1.99?!?! I am still forever loving my favorite city, New Orleans and desperately craving a trip! I am loving the start of a new semester, I think. While really I feel intimidated by this semester and its day 2 I am happy to be on the path of getting another semester behind me! (and that’s not even all my books…..) I am loving that Mardi Gras season is here.  No, I am not a partier and I am not Catholic but I do love the season of Mardi Gras and getting together with friends for fun, food and beads! I love the colors and the king cake but most of all I lo...

My Grandpa

Image
As I am sure many of you have read or heard, my grandfather passed away this week after a long hard fought battle over the years and especially this last month. One thing can be said for sure, my grandfather was a fighter with a will to live and one you never heard complain about any of his ailments. He always had a smile on his face and a content heart just to be with his loved ones. Through the past several weeks I have stopped and just watched as the hand of God has carried my family with His outpour of grace and mercy in some very unfortunate circumstances and times. I sat next my fading grandfather as he caressed a picture of a better and younger era with his shaking frail hand, a time where health and time were on his side. A time where dreams were being sought and the future was bright. He stared at the picture and you could almost see the memories on his face as he was seeing them. I noticed his hand; a shaky frail hand that has done so much, built churches, houses, chalkboards...

Blogging Off The Weight & More

Nope, I have not forgotten, everyday when I crave that chocolate or that supersize meal... I think about this picture of the old cantankerous lady in a moo-moo and try my best to resist such temptation!! The scales are showing a loss of about 28 pounds (depending on the week of the month its 30, HA!!!!) While these results are slow I am reminded that just like everything else in life, this too is a process, filled with ups and downs. Do you ever just have those rare days that you feel skinny?? I know I do and those are the days that I REALLY try to avoid the mirrors! Let me have my delusional skinny day once a month! haha One day, it will no longer be a delusion and I will have a flat stomach but that day is not today! I have noticed a change in some clothes and how they fit, that is fun. Swimsuit season is basically upon us and my body sings "oh happy day" in a sarcastic tune when I think about this! However I did find a swimsuit that I feel pretty in and I think thats reall...
