Pretty Girls

February 9, 2011 | Uncategorized

Happy hump day! It is clouding up here, supposed to rain later. Boo! I hope it doesn’t rain tomorrow, I was planning on doing my last run before the race then. I am going to do the elliptical today. REALLy trying to force myself to cross train more.  Today was been a different day. My mom and I dropped my puppies off for LONG overdue haircuts, and we got the oil changed in my car and went to lunch and shopping. My babies look SO pretty! It’s fascinating to me how different they look before and after their haircuts! It’s like two different dogs. They are so precious though. Take a look!

Sassy before and after. We call her Eeyore for a reason. She always looks so depressed.

 

Bella Before and after.

 

Aren’t they CUTE?!? Here are a few I took with my phone in the car.

 

 

Also, I was honored the other day by Karen as a Stylish Blogger! Also, I was awarded this same award back in January and forgot to blog about it. That one was given by Sher. Thanks so much ladies! Yall are too sweet.

Here are the Rules for the Stylish Award:

-Make this a post and link back to the person who gave the award to you
-Share 7 things about yourself
-Award 5 great bloggers.
-Contact the bloggers to tell them they’ve won!

Ok 7 things about me…

1.) I am deathly afraid of snakes, lizzards and frogs. Even the little ones. You get near me with one, I may karate chop you.

2.) I really struggle with eating veggies. I just don’t like them! I have gotten a lot better than I used to be, but still can’t eat salad!

4.) I met my husband playing against him in a volleyball tournament in college. His team kicked our butts but I still let him take me out on a date.

5.) I require a lot of sleep. I try to get nine hours a night to function properly.

6.) My favorite store is Bed Bath and Beyond. I always say you could close your eyes and buy me anything from there and I would be happy!

7.) I have had mononucleosis, chicken pox, my wisdom teeth out, my tonsils and adnoids out, and had surgery to remove a fibroid, and the swine flu, but have never broken a bone other than possibly a toe in HS playing sports (but we aren’t sure.)

Sorry I am not all that interesting. That’s the best I can do!

There are so many bloggers that deserve this award I can’t just pick 5, so I am picking no one.

QOTD: Any interesting facts about yourself you would like to share with the class?

    Besides the year when I was five and had pneumonia, chicken pox, and was diagnosed with asthma, I haven’t been all that sick in my life. But, I did break my humerus (upper arm bone under your bicep), which is a pretty dreadful bone to break since it holds up your entire arm. I’m not really very afraid of snakes, lizards, and frogs, but I think I would literally die of fright if a real live hairy rat touched me. Seriously. I’m petrified of them.

    I’ve had the chicken pox, stitches in my hand after I sliced it open washing a knife, and brain surgery…oh and a child. 😉

    Aww they look SO cute!

    And it really depresses me that I have you beat on the surgery front 🙁 But so cool for working at your dream job. Not many people can say that!

    It’s so awesome that you are working in your dream job! Disney is my boyfriend’s favorite place in the world, so when we plan our next trip, I’ll let you know!

    I always feel like I can’t think of anything interesting when people ask me to share – haha! I think the thing people like hearing about most are my crazy childhood antics. I loved the stage and wanted to be a star! I acted in community theater and all the school plays. They make for funny home videos!

    • Heather says

      February 10, 2011 at 9:33 am

      I feel the same way. I had a very normal boring childhood so my facts arent too exciting!
      yes let me know I would bemore than happy to help plan and book for Disney 🙂

    aww that’s a nice way to meet your hubby! I don’t like whales, that’s what i’m afraid of i guess, but it’s highly unlikely that i’ll come in contact with one so i’m all set. Random question I meant to ask you before, do you by any chance collect vinlymations? Good luck this weekend!

    • Heather says

      February 10, 2011 at 12:22 pm

      whales? LOL! I have never heard that one, but I guess it would be scary!
      No I don’t collect them. At marathon weekend I came SUPER close to getting the marathon one as a momento but I talked myself out of it!

      • Bethany says

        February 10, 2011 at 12:25 pm

        HA! good girl talking yourself out of it! Ryan bought ONE marathon weekend 2010 and now we own over 60 of them….

        • Heather says

          February 10, 2011 at 12:29 pm

          OMG are you serious! thats awesome! I think they are super cute, if only I had the $$ to start collecting!

Holiday shopping days with my mini me are some of Holiday shopping days with my mini me are some of my favorite traditions. ✨☕ 
From grabbing coffee to wandering through the decorated stores, there’s just something magical about this season. We laughed, made memories, and even managed to cross a few names off our list. 🎄 (ad) 

One of our favorite stops was Reeds at West Town Mall, where I spotted the new Victorinox Air Pro — a watch that’s Swiss-made with incredible craftsmanship, a stainless steel case, shock + water resistance, and even the ability to track 3 time zones at once. 🙌 It’s modern, timeless, and such a meaningful find for the men in my life.

The best part? Ending the day with full shopping bags, full hearts, and a gift I know will be worn and treasured for years. 💫 @victorinoxnorthamerica

🏖️ I’m so thankful my parents took us on tr 🏖️ I’m so thankful my parents took us on trips growing up. When I was young, we didn’t have a lot of money, but they made every weekend getaway or camping trip special, and I have so many great memories. 

We may not have gotten to travel often until I was a teenager, but we still had a blast, and they even took us to a @spectrumresorts  property! (Ad)

As an adult, I am so grateful to be able to return the favor. To see them laugh and play with my daughter like they did with me. It’s one of those special full circle moments, those core memories that will stay with me forever. 🥹

Staying at @turquoiseplaceofficial makes things so easy, too. The condos are huge and we easily all fit without being on top of each other. There’s plenty to do with pools, a waterslide, lazy river, the beach, movie nights, kids activities, food, and more. ✨

It truly is the perfect place for a multigenerational vacation. So if you are looking for a great place to go with your parents, grandkids, aunts, uncles, or cousins, this is it. 💖

And, you can save 10% on your stay by using my code LOOKGLASS in the promo box when you are booking, here or at @thebeachclubresortandspa! 🏖️ 

Have you taken a multigenerational vacation? Where did you go?

We take her on these trips and cruises hoping she’ll soak in the adventure, the beauty, and maybe even the food from places different from where we live… but to her, nothing beats a corn dog and mac & cheese. 🧀 

And honestly, that’s the best reminder for us, that joy doesn’t have to be fancy, it just has to be yours. 🛳✨

YES I was dancing, eating mac and cheese from the YES I was dancing, eating mac and cheese from the kids menu, and singing “Let it Go” with a butter knife while wearing Mickey ears on our Disney cruise. 🚢 

When I was 12, I was worried a lot… worried about failing, scared of what people would think of me, and of not fitting in or being “cool”. 
I turned 40 this year and have been spending time trying to figure out exactly who I really am with all expectations stripped away. I don’t love the term “finding yourself”, but here I feel like it fits. ✨

Maybe finding yourself means going back to being 12.… and being myself without being scared. Heather at 12 would never believe this version of me… but I think she’d be proud. 💛✨

Emma Kate turned 11 last month during our sailing and we did so many birthday things! She got a ton of “happy birthday’s” from crew and guests to make it extra special. ✨
