Happy Birthday Jaime!

Happy 30th Birthday Wishes to my P.I.C Mrs. F (yesterday)!!! I am a day late posting, but felt lucky to get to spend the big day with you yesterday. May this year bring joy, happiness, health and lots more memories. You have always been there for me and I cherish our JHS Cheer days, Crazy Monkey Wine evening and all the laughs we have shared! I cannot wait for the memories we still have ahead of us!

Love you Jim Jam!!

Song Of The Week: Us

Regina Spektor - US
Uploaded by reginaspektor. - See the latest featured music videos.

Can I just mention how much I am loving spring already? I can't help but be in a good mood with all the sights and smells. I know I am way behind, but I finally saw "(500) Days of Summer" a few weeks back and I just loved it. I loved that the movie warned you it wasn't a love story, but yet I still fell in love with it, and also the soundtrack!

I loved "Fidelty" by Regina Spektor and "Us" has found a special place in my heart as well. The song is happy, romantic, upbeat and just lovely and makes me smile no mater what. This song has me wanting to run through a field holding hands with a special someone and giggling the entire time. Corny - yes, but I can't help it, that's what I wanna do :)

Forever Frugal Friday

Can I just mention how excited I am that Spring arrives tomorrow? I am loving that daylight savings is in effect, walking Waldo at night is even more enjoyable now! As I walk I take in all the sights and smells, including the little baby ducklings and the first smells of BBQ in the evening. It is all just so dreamy and perfect...kind of like this Blissful Woven Top from Forever.

It is just what I need to ease into spring. Although I would love to head right into tank tops and sundresses, once the sun goes down, the evening are a little on the chillier side.

I would love to add this top to my wardrobe and pair it with these cute 'Sammy' Roll Hem Stretch Denim shorts from Joe's Jeans.



And to add a little glitz but comfort at the same time, I would sport my fun Gold Glitter TOMS that I received this year as a birthday present (and you know that TOMS donates a pair of shoes to a child in need every time you purchase a pair).

Spring-a-ling-a-ling is here! Woo-hoo!

Let The Madness Begin!

Last night I was a little like this (it was St. Patty's day!)...

{via}

And now feel a bit like this.....

{via}

But luckily March Madness has begun.........

{via}

......and if the games this morning (Villanova had me holding my breath) are any indication of the tournament to come, it is going to be a crazy month! I have three brackets going right now and am crossing my fingers to get lucky in at least one (preferably one that pays out).

Do you have a bracket filled out? Who do you have winning it all? What underdog team are you rooting for? Villanova all the way!

Happy, Happy, Happy!

Today is a fabulous day as I have many things to be happy about....here goes!

Happy 30th to the beautiful and lovely Marge! You look amazing and always have me smiling and laughing with our daily emails! May you have lots O' green beer today in celebration!

Love you lots and lots!

A very happy anniversary to my parents! I love you both so much and feel so lucky to call you my parents! Cheers to many more years of laughter and love!

And a very Happy St. Patty's to all of you incredible readers. May this year bring you all lots of luck, love and happiness! And just a friendly reminder....

Baby C Is Here!

A big congratulations and lots of love are sent to one of my favorite couples Mr. & Mrs. S, and their new addition of baby boy C! I cannot wait to get over to the east coast and meet this darling little addition.

Love you both !!

Song Of The Week: Right Here (Human Nature Radio Mix)

Today was one of those days where the sun was shining and the birds were chirping and then I got some sad news at work that one of my favorite coworkers was heading elsewhere and his last day was today. I of course cried and was shaking with the breaking news, but received a little facebook posting from my girl Kris alerting me that I had been named the winner of the always darling Amber's Notebook giveaway! Talk about much needed good news to help get me out of my sad funk. THANKS AMBER!

Trying to pick a song was a little difficult for today, but I decided on an oldie that always makes me sing along by SWV, "Right Here". I used to play this song on repeat in 7th grade and just recently added it to my Itunes collection and from the first listen I was reminded how much I love this song. It samples my favorite Michael Jackson song "Human Nature" and just brings me back to simpler days of junior high.

Happy {Daylight Savings} Weekend

Don't forget to "Spring Forward" and set your clocks ahead an hour on Sunday at 2 AM. This weekend I will be watching the Pac-10 NCAA Tournament Game at Staples with some fabulous ladies and then we will be off to dance the night away! You should be dancing too!

XOXO
