Christmas Eve was wonderful. We spent time with my family as well as Luke’s.
Lucas’s parents got us floor seats to see Maroon 5 on Valentines day and tickets to see Luke Bryan in Indiana 2 days before my birthday! The Maroon 5 tickets I have been completely bratty about because Lucas said we’d go and then just forgot to get the tickets. Last time Maroon 5 came he never took work off so I had to buy another ticket and take my parents. He didn’t know his parents got them for us. But, it all works out. I can’t wait.

I think I might just flood you all with photos…
These are all from my phone/ipad..
I’m sorry I’m too lazy to get them off my camera.

I woke up not feeling so hot. And even V8 Spicy Hot wasn’t helping.
I opened presents and then passed out..

But, I finally got up and showered.. then we headed to Windsor.

image
This was the worst IPA I have ever had.
It tasted like Bud Light or some other kind of cheap beer.
I had two on draft.. $8 each. Should of just drank cheap.

image
Absolute Raz & Soda. Not bad.

image
Top shelf whiskey with pomegranate liqueur.
It looks and tasted like a Shirley Temple…
But, then my mom assured me that I clearly didn’t realize how strong it was.
She was right.

image
This was the IPA I had on draft.
I bought a bottle of it to see if it would taste better and to take a picture to remember the name.
It was not any better in a bottle. It was double the price of a Bud Light Lime..
Again, I should of drank cheap.


wardrobe malfunction.

I had fun at Caesars. My parents gave me $60 to gamble with.
They bought me 2 of my drinks and the rest I used for drinks and gambling.
I ended up walking out with $20.

Christmas was a success. It looks like you all had a great Christmas as well!

 

I wanted to let you all know that the family member who was in the hospital was my Papa. He had 95% blockage in one of his arteries in his heart. His surgery went well. He’s recovering and should be going home today or tomorrow. I spent the entire afternoon yesterday at the hospital. I’m so grateful that everything is okay. Thank you all so much for your kind words and prayers!

You can’t blog with us!

I’m not digging all of these big shot bloggers trying to make these rules for blogging. I have read posts about how not everyone should have a blog. If you’re not a big shot blogger, like myself.. this post is for you. If you are a big shot blogger, this post is also for you.. but, none of you will read this. These are just some of the rules that I don’t follow.. Your blog will be judged by it’s cover. Have a perfect layout. If spending $100 to have some make a layout for my blog means you’ll read my blog and you’ll follow me.. then I don’t give a damn if you’re not following me. Respond to all comments left on your blog. It is important to respond to comments.. however, I do understand why people can’t always respond. Personally.. if you ask me something I most likely will respond. A lot of the time I get comments that pretty much all I can say is “Thank you!” to.. I mean.. I’ll absolutely always respond if you e-mail me.. or even if you comment on instagram.. I respond almost inst...

Friday’s Letters!!!!

Dear Bret Michaels, Once I had a film class. It was so badass and made me wish I was an actress. I actually love being in front of the camera acting.. ANYWAYS.. This was the closest I’ve been to you.. when I was on a fake Rock Of Love.. with a fake Bret Michaels.. But, I’ll be seeing you live this Saturday!!! Dear Poison and Def Leppard, See you on Saturday!!!.. I’m pretty damn nervous to party with a bunch of people older than my mom. But, thank you for giving me an excuse to have extra big hair and dress like I belong in the 80’s.. I’ll look better than all these old chicks that still live in the 80’s.. Just sayin’.. Dear Friday’s Letters, You always make me so happy to write! I love that this link up always gets me so much positive feedback! It always makes my Friday so much better!.. I work Friday nights and Saturday mornings.. so Friday isn’t always as awesome to me as it is to everyone else. Dear Ashley from Adventures of Newlyweds, The first time I ever linked up I mention...
