A random list

As I was going through my photos and ideas for tonight's post I decided to do a Hot or Not list, a likes and dislikes list, you know a list of things that I like and things that I don't. 
I must warn you that this is pretty random. 


LIKE:
A made bed.
{This is a rare occassion, I must admit.}

Dislike:
A very messy and unorganized closet.
{Our spare room closet, can you see my wedding dress in there?}

Love:
Games!
{Bananagrams, Zip it, Pears and Pairs etc}
Love my lunch bunch game players! 

Hate:
A dirty sink at the end of the night.
{I like to have the kitchen clean before going to bed, Jay always says, "I will do it tomorrow."} 

Yay!
Craft Projects
{Anything with glue, I am in!}

Nay!
A husband that did not pay attention to what was also sitting on the stove when he started cooking. He then proceeded to leave the room until I heard a crackling sound and smelled burnt plastic.
{Don't forget Jay I need a new colander, my dear.}

Hot:
Chipotle for lunch.
Love their burrito bowls.
So delicious!!

Not Hot:
Hobby Lobby's fake grape decor that is everywhere.
Please fire the person who came up with this idea, it is horrible.

Top 20

I wanted to do something a little different tonight.  I had read something similar on another blog yesterday and thought I too should try this.  So here goes.  

20 things you may {or may not} know about me:

1. I have 20 cousins {and that is just on my mom's side}, I am the oldest girl and the 4th oldest of all.
2. I live in the Pacific Northwest and I do NOT eat seafood.
3. I sleep with lots and lots of pillows and I know if Jay has one of mine and not his designated two.  {haha}
4. I like to read cookbooks like they are books. 
5. I named Ginger after Ginger Ale.  Used to be my favorite drink.
6. I could people watch all day long. 
7. Every night before I fall asleep I read People online to catch up on my Hollywood gossip.  
8. I would prefer to watch movies at home rather than go to a theatre. 
9. Games, games, games.  I could play a game of cards or Parcheesi every day if Jay would play with me. 
10. My name means bologna in Australia. And yes I do love bologna sandwiches.  But when I do make them {which is not often} I have to buy white bread and silced american singles.
11. I collected lions growing up.
12. I called myself Donnie Devon and had a NKOTB birthday party once.
13. Someday I will take a vacation to Fiji and sleep in one of those fantastic bungalows on the water. 
14. Melrose Place and Beverly Hills 90210 were my favorite shows ever!!
15. I love collections.  I have quite a few and I like to display them in glass jars. 
16. I wish I had a green thumb.  I have a vision of how I want my yard to be, but I just can't keep plants alive. 
17. Being late stresses me out.  I usually am 5-15 minutes early for anything.
18. I would love to have my own ecclectic paper, vintage finds, home decor store someday.
19. I fall in love with my husband more each day.  He continually amazes me, makes me laugh and most of all loves me {and my family} unconditionally.
20. Losing him someday scares the bejeezus {is that how you spell it?} out of me. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What is on your list?  Care to share?  Did any of these surprise you?

Let me know.  

Tomorrow is friday...finally.  Can't wait to spend Saturday morning with my love and the evening at our annual pumpkin carving night.  

Good night friends.

Top 5

Earrings.
I just love them.
Have to wear them everyday.
If I forget to put them on and I have left the house, I have a spare pair in my purse.

Just bought these this weekend, wore them today and yes they have already made my top 5.
Found them on clearance at Nordstrom Rack.

I received these from Jay on our first Christmas, I cried when I opened them.  I had seen them at the store when I was Christmas shopping and wanted them so badly so I hid them behind all the other jewelry.  Well Jay and Miss Josie went back and bought them and gave them to me for Christmas.  And that is why I cried when I opened them. 

A co-worker was wearing these and I about tackled her when I saw them.  I ran to Macy's after work and bought them, on sale no less. 

Large hoops.  Love em, wear them at least 3x a week. They go with everything. 

Just scored these at a thrift store for $3. Love the colors.

This little fella was an anniversary present from the hubs last week.  I call him my Anniversary Owl.

Top 5

Here are my top 5 beauty products that I use daily and could not live without.

1. Kirkland brand (Costco) Daily Facial cleaning towelettes
{I keep a pack in the fridge as well so they are cold to the touch in the summertime, is that weird?}

2. Pantene Detangler

3. Bare Escentuals Prime Time foundation primer

4. Bare Escentuals Faux Tan Bronzer and brush 

5. Magnifying mirror and my tweezers

This is an added bonus, I love wearing earrings and adding to my collection.  Josie has started coming into my bathroom in the morning and borrowing a pair for the day.  SHe used to not like to wear earrings or dangly ones, but now she does.  I like that I can share them with her. 

What are your top 5 beauty must-haves?
