Wishful Wednesday....Dream Bedroom!

Kelsey over at the Seattle Smiths has a fun Wishful Wednesday topic!  Here's the question.....

 'I wish' .... I could come home to this 

________ bedroom every night!

So I went searching, and here is my answer......

 'I wish' .... I could come home to this

bedroom every night!

I'm all about turquoise these days, and this room is just calling my name!  I could totally sink into these amazing linens each night and wake up in them each morning!!!  Although it may be hard to get out of them in the morning, because they just look so comfy and inviting!!

What's your dream bedroom???  Pop over to Kelsey's blog and let everyone know what your dream bedroom would be!

Wishful Wednesday...GLEE!!!!

'I wish' .... I could be a GLEE character for an episode and it would definitely be Rachel!

So I am loving Kelsey at The Seattle Smith's right now!  I love this topic :)

I would be Rachel.  I love that she's the leading lady and can sing in any style, and that any style sounds good in her voice!  She's so intense with her singing and makes me laugh so hard!  I think her outfits are for the most part super cute, and I love that long hair!  The only thing I would ditch would be the Jewish part..I'm sold out for Jesus!!!!  Holler!!

Back when I was in Jr. High and High School I was in show choir which was a small group like the one in Glee, but the difference is that we didn't get to jam to Madonna, we didn't have our own band who could play songs just by whispering the title into their ear, there was no such thing as a "Mash-up" assignment, and our cheer sponsor wasn't trying to sabatage us :)  We sang songs from Phantom of the Opera, Rent, and artists like Chicago {they rule!!}, Simon and Garfunkel, and the list goes on!  I remember singing the Friends theme song in "Image" {our Jr. High show choir name} because that was Mrs. Taylor's favorite TV show :)......for those younsters out there, Friends was not on TBS at the time...we had to wait a whole week to find out if Ross and Rachel were going to make it or not!  It was awesome!  I have fond memories of going to get bagels during 2nd period "Legacy" {our High School show choir name} with friends, and singing at Barnes and Noble and the like.  We never had slushies thrown in our face, and we were all super fun and cool if I do say so myself :)

Anywho, where you in a show choir growing up??  Was it anything like Glee??  What character would you be??  Visit Kelsey's Blog and link your answer to her post!

Wishful Wednesday!!!

Kelsey posts a super fun questions on Wishful Wednesday this week and I was so excited to participate!  Here it is...

'I wish' .... I could afford _______ without putting a dent in my pocketbook!

......and my answer is......

'I wish' .... I could afford the Lockit Louis Vuitton handbag without putting a dent in my pocketbook!

Louis Vuitton Lockit Handbag...only $885 :)

Let's be honest, I'm a mom of a 2 year old, and about to be a mom of a 2 year old and a newborn, so affording such luxury is something I can't even fathom right now....but one day, I will own a Louis Vuitton!!!  I will :)  It would be great to stick some diapers in and get going, don't you think? :)

So what handbag would you buy if you could???  Pop on over to Kelsey's blog and link yours to hers letting everyone know!!!

Wishful Wednesday!!!

If you haven't joined in on Wishful Wednesday yet with Kelsey at the Seattle Smiths, then you are jumping in on a fun one!  She poses the question below:

'I wish' .... I could win the lottery REAL soon, and I would hope to ________.

**The real question is would you

1.) quit your job/career 
2.) continue working

'I wish' .... I could win the lottery REAL soon, and I would continue to work and volunteer {I get bored at the house}.

Let's be honest, I love to work!  I think I'll work as long as I can, and I'll volunteer till the day I die!  How about you??  What would you do??  Write your post and link back to Kelsey's blog!

Wishful Wednesday...Olympics

  

Kelsey at the Seattle Smiths posted a super fun Olympic themed Wishful Wednesday! Johnny and I have been watching tons of Olympics {we are so sad it's over}, so this is a fitting question for me :)  She asks:

'I wish' .... I could have gone to the 2010 Winter Olympics to see one event, and it would have been _______!

 

Check out Kelsey's blog, write your own answer, then link back to her Wishful Wednesday post!  Here's my answer.....

'I wish' .... I could have gone to the 2010 Winter Olympics to see one event, and it would have been the mens half-pipe!

 

 

I have a feeling this will be a lot of people's answers, but I just love snowboarding!  Shaun White rocks, and it's so fun to see him throw the most crazy tricks ever!  My sweet hubby introduced me to the sport a few years ago {4ish} when we took a trip to Colorado {ok, I knew about it, but had never tried it}!  I fell a lot, but had a lot of fun too!  That trip was so much fun that we even went back for our honeymoon...stayed in the exact same hotel, ate at the same restaurants, and snowboarded the same local mountain! 

What event would you have attended??

Wishful Wednesday......Book Character

So Kelsey at the Seattle Smiths poses the question below on her Wishful Wednesday Topic this week....

'I wish' .... I could play a character's role in a book and it would be __________!

Now that I have a child, my answer to this question is certainly reflective of that! Take a look :)

'I wish' .... I could play a character's role in a book and it would be one of the girls in the Backyardigans Books!

So these guys are really from a TV show, and I just happened to know that they also made books, so I guess I cheated the topic just a little by answering the way I did {I call it creativity}!!

These kids are so much fun!  They remind of how important it is to let your kids be kids, and how much fun it was to be a kid!  The object of the show/books is that these kids play in their backyard and create different adventures just by using their imagination!  Oh to be a kid again :)  Here are a few titles I found online...

 

  

  

  

Things like this make me long for the day when we have a backyard for Joey and Sam to play in!  These kids come up with the coolest things to do, and they always end the day with a SNACK!!  Yummo :)  

So what's your answer to the question??  Which character would you play in a book??  Hop over to the Seattle Smiths and play along...write your response then link it back to Kelsey's blog when you are done!

Wishful Wednesday!!!

This week's topic from Kelsey over at the Seattle Smith's:

'I wish' .... I had the startup funds to build that company I have always dreamt about, and it would be _____!

Kelsey wants hear all those entrepreneur ides this Wednesday :)  Here's mine......

'I wish' .... I had the startup funds to build that company I have always dreamt about, and I would be a stay at home mom & blog researcher/writer!

  I would need the start up funds so that we could live while my blog was getting out there :) I know this isn't something that requires a store front, but I just love surfing the web finding new fun blogs! How cool would it be if that was your job to find new and innovative bloggers and expose them through your own blog!  I could totally do that during Joey's nap time and throughout the day if only I could find someone to pay me to do that and I got insurance along with the job, wouldn't that be great??  A girl can always wish!!

Wishful Wednesday

'I wish' .... Santa would have remembered _____ was on my list!

Kelsey over at the Seattle Smith's poses this question on today's Wishful Wednesday...Although we are thankful for all of the gifts received as well as the most important gift, time shared with loved ones ....., she wonders what would that one last gift be that you mentioned you wanted and wished was still under the tree??  Feel free to play along and link back to Kelsey's Blog with your entry!

'I wish' .... Santa would have remembered UGG Boots were on my list!

 

I know it's not very realistic to ask Santa for Uggs.....I mean he doesn't just have crazy funds lying around, but this is WISHFUL Wednesday right ? :)  Anywho, by all the posts about Christmas you can tell that we were not without!  I'll just keep wishing on these bad boys :)

Wishful Wednesday

'I wish' .... I could relive one particular holiday experience over and over again, and it would be ____________!

Kelsey is back with Wishful Wednesday! I have so many memories of Christmas that it's hard to pick, but....

 

If I could relive one particular holiday experience over and over again, and it would be going to my grandparents house in Hunt, TX!

If I was better prepared, I would have a great little pic to put in right here, but I do not :(  I just loved going their each year!  I have memories of sitting in the back of the car with the portable tape player listening to The Judds and The Eagles!  I feel like we wore out several of those tapes over the years!  I also loved getting to see my Great grandmother, Nonny, who Joey is named after and that is also why we call my mom Nonny!  I always new I was going to get a book from my granddad even though I don't like to read...he always put thought into it hoping that one day I might crack!  I also remember one year I had asked for a hairdryer.  My grandmother ordered it and it came in the mail but in a different box, she didn't think anything of it, and that year when I opened my "hair dryer", I got frozen (thawed at that point) chicken patties....not funny at the time to me, but hilarious now!  We used to go arrowhead hunting with Bigman, and fed the deer everyday!  We always opened presents on Christmas Eve and stockings Christmas morning.  I also remember watching The Music Man each time we would go to Hunt.  

I miss that house, I miss my grandad, I miss my great grandmother, and I miss the traditions we had in Hunt.  Now as a new Stout family we are making our own traditions which include driving up and down HWY 75 on Christmas, eating with Johnny's family each Christmas Eve, and more :)  I'm excited to look back on this post when Jo is older and see what she remembers best.  

Merry Christmas Everyone! 

Wishful Wednesday!

'I wish' .... my life was a movie, and I would want it to be ______ genre!

(and tell us why)

Would you want action, adventure, comedy, drama, romance, family, OR suspense??  AND a lil' bit of everything isn't an option because that is too easy!

 

This is a fun topic from Kelsey over at the Seattle Smith's :)  I just had to participate!

'I wish' .... my life was a movie, and I would want it to be the romantic genre!

Any type of romance really, I love sappy to comedic, to uncomfortable and awkward!  One of my all time favorite movies is Dirty Dancing :)  Check out this cool post about living in Dirty Dancing from Design Sponge!  I realize watching this movie now that I had no idea what all was going on when I was younger.  It's a bit risque, but I love it!

 

I also LOVE the movie Big with Tom Hanks!  That dude had a trampoline in his loft for goodness sake!  I always cry at the end, but Josh Baskin does the right thing when he goes back to being a kiddo!

 

Another great one is 27 Dresses!!!!  So fun, flirty, and fabulous :) 

The list could go on and on, but I'll spare you the details and stop here :)  So yeah, for me.....ROMANCE movies of any kind would be so fun to live out!  What do you think?  Head over to Kelsey's Blog, copy her Wishful Wednesday Button and write your own blog entry!!  Then link up on her blog :)  Have a great Wednesday everyone!

Wishful Wednesday

This week's topic:

'I wish' .... I never had to do _______ again!

What is the one chore/task you wish a fairy would wave a wand over and wha-la, it's done for you!

Let me preface this by saying that this super fun topic comes from my friend Kelsey who I used to work with back in the day!  We rocked parties at The Gymnastics Place if I do say so myself!  Now we are all grown up with hubbies, homes and it's just crazy how time flies!  Check out Kelsey's blog and have fun posting and answering the same question on your blog!

Now onto the task at hand...I wish I never had to do LAUNDRY again!  I am great at putting clothes in their proper bin for sorting.  I am great at putting the clothes in the washer...I am not so good at remembering to transfer them to the dryer, and I LOATH putting clothes away!

Maybe if my laundry room looked like this I would be motivated??

Or what about this one??

Instead mine looks like this at this very moment...

I'm not even ashamed, it's who I am :)  These are all clean clothes minus the towel and bibs on the top of the dryer!

So uh yeah, no more laundry!!
