Lovies!

Things I currently LOVE (aka lovies)...

 

This Rihanna album "Loud" is the bomb.com...fur reals

The Tia & Tamera show on the Style network.  I used to watch Sister Sister every day after school when I was younger.  I remember wishing I had a long lost twin sister...bahaaha

Fall decorations...I don't have my own house right now...so I don't have any pictures...or decorations...dont' feel bad for me.

I love catch phrase!  We had some friends up to the cabin this last weekend and I almost tinkled my pants laughing so hard!

Well when I started this post I thought I was going to have a good list...apparently I was wrong.  But I did find out today the there is a professional soccer/football (whatever country you are in) player whose name is "Massimo Maccarone"...that is pretty much our last name!  But we have an extra 'r' in it!  And how cool is that name!  I would seriously consider naming my child that if I didn't think he would get beat to a pulp every day until he was in college!  That and the name Massimo makes me think of the movie "Wedding Planner" with a young Justin Chambers...

Also I may or may not be counting down the days until Kim Kardashians wedding show comes on in October.  She is definitely NOT my fav in all of the land and I would NEVER think of doing such a creepy thing.  I hope she stays married...I would be super bummed if it didn't work out for her!  If you are wondering when this shin-dig is going down it is October 9th AND 10th on E!.  No you are not misreading and no I did not do a typo  THIS IS A TWO PART-ER PEOPLE!!!  During this time you will be able to find me on my couch drinking wine acting like I did when I was 5 watching Mary Poppins...k? Thanks!(so if you are reading this Mr. Mac don't think about interrupting me during that time!)

Randomness

I have wanted a cupcake all week long, but just haven't gotten around to buying or making one...

We are going to the cabin in t minus 3 hours, and time is moving at tortoise pace...

Our friends are coming with us to the cabin.  Their dog is Lexi's BFF...

I really miss my BFF she lives in Switzerland :(...

Mr. Mac is my other BFF :)...

My face is breaking out like a 15 year old boys'...

I am missing my SIL and BIL's craw fish boil this weekend...

There is not a comfortable temperature in my office...it's either freezing or roasting...

I loved Jersey Shore this week...

My little brother is the cutest thing. EVER....

I have been oddly obsessed with Kim Kardashians wedding...

I watched Something Borrowed this week and still I can't figure out if I liked it or not...

I think about learning how to speak Italian once a week at least...

My Pandora has played a billion and one Rihanna and Lada Gaga songs...kinda annoying...

My dog likes to dress up...

And she would probably get along real well with this Hollywood kiddo...

                 

Dreams...

Dreams are crazy!  The Websters Dictionary defines "dream" as such: 1. the thoughts or series of thoughts, or imaginary transactions, which occupy the mind during sleep; a sleeping vision.  2.  a visionary scheme; an idle fancy; a wild conceit; a vagary; a revery-in this sense applied to a imaginary or anticipated state of happiness; as a dream of bliss.

I.LOVE.DREAMING.  Whether it is sleeping or day-dreaming...I love it!  I normally have happy pleasant dreams where I wake up completely satisfied with the results of my r.e.m. sleep.  Don't get me wrong every now and then I have an awful dream in which I always feel it necessary to wake Mr.Mac up and tell him what just happened (although I don't think he ever really pays attention...but still). 

Lately the only thing that has been on my mind is buying a house.  Mr.Mac and I put an offer in on the most perfect house...ever!  It is a short sale and thus a very lengthy process to say the least.  We put the offer in almost a month ago and have not heard anything.  But that is ok...we are getting very good at waiting and being patient and trusting God and his timing.  But a girl can dream...let me tell you!  I think I have every single detail of this house painted, decorated, and redecorated.  I spend most of my time browsing the Internet and pinning EVERYTHING!  Basically day-dreaming at it's finest!

A day in my brain consists of the following thoughts..."oh man that is cute!" "why oh why must I have champagne taste on a beer budget?" "wholly moley I need that" "I can totally do that" "that is so ugly" "Ok God I  know your timing is perfect and I trust you and your plan for us"  "who in their right mind would put that in their house?!?" 

Dreaming just makes ya feel good...it's possibilities...it's the future...it's perspective...it's fun! 

Happy Dreaming :)

The List!

Ok I know that I am slightly premature on this...but I already have a gangsta Christmas List!  I know, I know...it's only August...but still I have one.  Plus my birthday is in November so that makes it seem not so crazy.

I decided if I presented my list in such an organized/artsy fartsy manner my chances of receiving these things will increase...even just a little :)

1. This Michael Kors watch has me mesmerized...like I might make it my background on my computer!

2 and 3.  Clearly I am obsessed with these shoes even though hubby thinks they look like g-ma shoes

4.  Burberry Perfume just makes my heart happy...my old signature smell was Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy

5. GLITTER UGGS!!! Shut.the.front.door!!

6. I'm gettin all domesticated and stuff.  But you will never want to clean your floors with anything else!

7.  I love this salad bowl and tongs so cute and functional...plus I would eat more salad :)

8.  Oh IKEA how I love you.  This mini-chandelier is ad-or-able! (Mr.Mac doesn't know about this one)

There you have it!  Well part one anyways.  It will change. It always does.  At least I have somewhere to start.  And I think my collage is uber cutsie!

Happy Friday...have a great weekend!

Getting Ready

Seriously this is pretty much what by bathroom looks like when I am getting ready (except I can olny wish I was the proud owner of all these awesome MAC eye shadows!).  My stuff is everywhere...and then some.

Let me start off with saying that I seriously am and always have been addicted to buying make-up...fer reals!  I love having options and trying new stuff, remembering the old stuff ie: clear masacara, flavored lip smackers, etc.  I love buying new make-up bags, brushes, tools, bla bla bla.

In high school I was over the moon about this place...

And seriously from high school, through college, and until I was married and on a budget...I lived at the M.A.C store...and here. Pretty much the two best palces to waste your day (and $$) on. EVER.  I mean the endless options are redic!  No wonder it would take me almost two hours to get ready back in the day.  First there was primer so my foundation lasted, then foundation, then powder (no one like a grease face!), then bronzer, then blush, then eye shadow primer, then eye shadow, then eye brow tint, then eye liner, then mascara, then lip liner/gloss, another layer of mascara...and then it was on to my hair.  Seriously how was I not exhausted after all of that!!

Now that I am Mrs. Mac...there is no more M.A.C. make-up (for now anyway *wink wink*).  Such a sad day.  I bought it up unitl my wedding and man oh man did I savor it after that!  All of it was liquid gold to me.  Well fast forward a year and half later (today to be specific) and I am getting ready for work thinking my oh my how times have changed.  It still takes me about an hour to get ready, but my make-up bag is now full of Maybelline, Cover Girl, and Remmel London.  Back then when I would get ready I was thinking ok what goes with my outfit, does my make-up look good?  Will this look good in the club?  Ya know, all those artificial worries you have when you are a single early twenties girl.  Today I found myslef talking with God and praying for various people and situations, praying for Mr. Mac, asking God for his guidence in our house situation, asking him for trust, thinking about what I was going to make for dinner, etc.  These things are my normal and this is how I get ready. 

I no longer have a cup filled with my drink of choice for the night...

Instead I have a cup filled with faith and I am no longer searching for the light...

I am no longer worried about a guy and being flirty...

Instead I have a hubby who loves me from here to eternity...

I no longer have a make-up bag full of M.A.C....

Instead I am a Mac!

I still think about the old make up and I laugh at how long I would take to get ready and the silly things I would obcess about...cuz that is funny stuff!  and I wouldn't reade those memories for the world..but isn't it fun to think about how far you have come in life? 

What do you think about when you are getting ready for the day?
