Friday Morning Random Ramblings

After reading yesterday's post, Carlee sent me this email:

I laughed for 5 minutes straight. It is great to know that I'm not the only one who has to deal with seeing their favorite foods go down their men's throats. And that I'm not the only one who hides food from their significant other.

So I tried to get into Downtown Abbey because I heard so many good things about it in blog land. I.JUST.CAN’T.GET.INTO.IT. I guess I’m not as cool as I once thought I was. Maybe I have to try again but without blogging this time. That could have been it. I'm not a great multi-tasker.

My sister sent me a text politely asking me not to recommend Noa’s name. Ooops. My bad. I didn't know I had. But just that it's out in the blog universe, don’t name your child Noa, mmmkay. Dead serious.

I’ve made plans with said sister for the month of March just so I can snuggle with my niece. She is getting cuter and cuter with each picture. I mean, seriously?! She already has her "amused but not" face down. I've been working on mine for 30 years and she has it down in 3 weeks!
It seems that now when I'm shopping I have to see if there is anything that my niece might want. Yes, she wants them. She just doesn't know it yet. Good thing she has an aunt who knows.

I’m going to get a little mean girl on this part. Some advice for bloggers who want more visitors on their blog. DON’T, I repeat, DON’T comment on someone's post:

“So cute. Come visit my blog. And maybe we can follow each other??? xoxo.”

The problem with that is sometimes the post is not actually cute and if you had actually read it you would know that the blogger’s post is about a beloved person in their life that just passed away. Most likely you will not be getting a visit or a follow, so just stop. As my friend Kathy would say, “Rude to my life”.

It seems a few of you thought I was going to Montreal this weekend. I wish. But in exactly two weeks, I’ll get to pretend I’m a big shot photographer with my big girl camera, until I see my pictures of course.

February 14th is a big day in our household. Sean’s birthday and our dating anniversary. I like to say that Sean got the best birthday gift that day. I think he would say, biggest headache, but who listens to him anyway.

If you like this post, stilettos and ice cream, maybe we can follow each other??? ;)

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend! xoxo ♥

  8. Your niece is a doll!!!! And you are the best aunt ever to know what she wants ;) I have too many nieces/nephews that I will go broke with all the cuteness I see that I know they will "want". ;)

    And I totally laughed at the last line AND the first photo :D

  9. I HATE when people leave comments like that and it's clear they haven't paid any attention to your content at all. Like...what!?

    Have a wonderful weekend Faith!

  16. this picture is too funny...BUT it is genius, i am so copying this idea....

  17. The Tampon box is PERFECT! Love it. As for comments-I have never, ever, said come follow me or check out my giveaway or anything. I'm not a salesman! Your niece is too cute. She looks like she knows something we don't!! Could an itty bitty baby like that actually be thinking something intellectual? If so, she's doing it. LOL.

  18. I seriously hate when people leave comments like that. Drives me nuts. A long time ago I got over "needing" tons of followers - and now I just write and blog for me.

    And oh my heart - your niece is so stinkin' precious!!!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Hehe, I love that you posted the tampon box. But it is seriously so brilliant.

    Noa is seriously such a doll! I promise I won't steal her name for my little one. :)

    You sound like my sister with all the auntie gift-buying. She told me every time she goes into a store she has to look at baby items, and usually buys something. And our girl isn't even here yet! haha.

    Have a great weekend, girlie!

  20. I hate when people make those comments too, so annoying. I'll admit I'm also a little tired of ALL the link ups that seem to be going on. And the amount of sponsorship on blogs.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I'm with you sister, I hate comments from people that make it obvious that they never bothered to read the post, it's just plain rude and disrespectful to the blogger. I don't think you're being mean telling them to at least be considerate when leaving comments in all honesty so good on you.

    That tampon box idea to hide food is utter genius, you'd never get caught with it in a million years, it's perfect! I knew you weren't going away this weekend, well more assumed but that's good because the longer it takes for it to come the better.

  22. You are definitely not the only one who hides food from your man! I have gotten to where I just straight up tell Garrett, DO NOT eat this! If you aren't cool for not liking Downtown Abbey, I am way not cool because I don't even know what that is. A book? Your niece is so so adorable! And you are right, she has the face down! Those little leopard shoes are so cute and, of course she needs them! ;)
    Hahaha I don't like when bloggers leave a comment like, "Cute blog, come visit mine..." I think if someone actually takes the time to read about me then that's one thing but don't just leave a comment like that. I can't believe Seans bday is the 14th, and it's y'all's anniversary, AND it's Valentine's! So busy and fun! Hope you have a great weekend Faith!

  23. Lol, shutup @ the last part. I don't like stilettos anymore so does that mean....? lol

    Your niece is sooooo adorable and so are the shoes you bought her! I feel like shopping for girls are hard because there is so much cuteness to choose from. Sigh. But I still want a girl. Thanks for making my womb itch!

    Her name is cute, no copying here. I'm already locked in to a name my hubby likes, though I like the name Parker.

    Our 3rd year of marriage, my hubby stole my food at midnight that I was planning to take for lunch the next day. He went to bed at 8:30 and woke up at midnight and ate MY leftovers from a restaurant bc he didn't like his. TF?!? Yeah, that's never happened again. Now, he plays like he will but won't dare, lol.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Hahah those are always the weirdest comments! "Love your blog! So fun!" after just blogging about a breakup, terrible day, etc...SO FUN!

    But oh my goodness! Noa really does have that look down already. Impressive!
