Hey Everyone! Well- I spent yesterday catching up on posts for my blog challenge and the pictures for my pic challenge! We were so busy over the weekend i never had the chance to really get on and get anything done. I did back date them but Friday, Saturday and Sunday were all done yesterday. Now i need to do yesterdays and todays .> *sigh* :) it is all good though.. I have several other posts in mind to write, but i had to take a minute and write a general rambling one since i haven't in a few days. i had started one thursday night and one yesterday but.. they just didn't make my cut I guess :) I got a sunburn friday at Carowinds.. I think it was more like a cloud burn- you know that intermitent stuff which makes burning all the worse because you don't even realize that you are getting burned! Anywho- it is not TOO bad for the most part, and it is bearable but I can't wait for it to be gone at the same point! I don't even know the last time i even had a … [Read more...]

31 Days of Summer Writing Challenge Day 6:Travel Plans/Virtual Vacation #verifiedmomBCN
So far I do NOT have any travel plans for this summer. I did have some that were part of a review but I think that review fell through for reasons that I am not totally sure of :( Hopefully I might be wrong on that one Other than that I would like to take a trip up to Boone/Blowing Rock/Blue Ridge parkway- I haven't went in probably close to 3 years or so! I cannot believe it has been that long but as you well know that is something I have been wanting to go for a while but we never quite make it for some reason. Another thing is I would like a trip to my grandmas since her foot is better and it would just be me and David and we could go around yardsaling with her and to the store and what not :) I just hate the trip or the thought of the trip.. after we get down the road/ there I am fine. Stupid travel anxiety! I guess we'll see if any of this pans out.. If it doesn't thats o.k too ... :) … [Read more...]
31 Days of Summer Day 5 What is one thing on your summer bucket list #verifiedmomBCN
I don't know that I actually have a summer bucket list! One of my biggest things was to try to get a seasons pass to Carowinds, and since I ended up getting in the carowinds caro blogger program (I am SO going to be writing a post about that as soon as i get caught up on things) I have already got that crossed off, and we have already visited 3 times and went to a concert to boot! I just wanted something for us to do on the summer weekends besides stalking the pool here at the apartment place to get in it when there are rowdy splashy kids - which pretty much only happens at night around 8:30 or so and well.. it sucks to wait ALL DAY to have something to do that really isn't that exciting to begin with lol. Don't get me wrong it is very relaxing and I would like to get back into doing it again.. I just wanted us to have something to pass the hot days away that is a bit different than the norm for us :) … [Read more...]
31 Days of Summer Day # 4 :Share you favorite BBQ recipe #VerifiedMomBCN
I honestly do NOT grill! I mean sure David might go up to the grill and grill some steaks or something like that- we actually had a grill when we lived at the old place but here we aren't allowed to have our own. I used to like to make kabobs with onions and peppers (red, orange and yellow) No green! and either have steak or chicken on them,... We marinated them in soy sauce and some seasonings but even that isn't really a recipe lol. We kind of do our steaks and burgers the same way, My mom and dad are the same way! I know that I would probably have a recipe for something like a side dish but some of them are family ones and I don't know that I want to share them :) we have an awesome slaw recipe, pasta salad recipe and potato salad recipe :)Plus ya'll know I am not really a recipe blogging type of gal either :) … [Read more...]
31 Days of Summer Writing Challenge Day 3 :What is your greatest summer memory? #VerifiedMomBCN
Even though Summer is not my favorite season, I think that summer might hold more of a place in my heart than any other! First of all I spent EVERY summer vacation from the time I was in Kindergarten until 10th grade or so in the middle of nowhere- mountains of virginia :) I am talking 45 minutes to get to the grocery store,etc. We did have a small store at the end of her "Ridge" to pick up snacks and sodas and small things like that. I know that back in that time frame to get to walmart would have been more like a 2 hr adventure because they have just in recent years got one in the two main areas where we would go to shop! I guess this is not going to be a specific memory post, but more like a reflection because I can't really isolate one particular memory because they are all great :) I loved spending time there it was always cooler than it was here in N.C and the mountains were so pretty. I got to spend time with not only my grandparents but my great grandma, plenty of cousins … [Read more...]
Waiting on An Apt Inspection- Whatever that is lol
Hey Everyone! Well.. I am up bright and early because I have NO CLUE when they are coming to do this stinkin' apartment inspection that I find absolutely ridiculous to start with! I have rented for 8 years- well honestly longer than that- even at nit picky off campus housing in college- and they never even did anything like this! The things on the list that they are checking for are things that if I honestly had a problem with I would have already reported so.. I don't get it. I figure that they are bored and don't have anything better to do honestly lol. Before anyone says something sarcastic, I do realize that this is more common than what I am used to I just find it totally ..I don't even know what the right word is! They have already been in here twice recently to mess around in the water heater closet so ?? I guess we will see. I am trying to do a picture a day challenge on instagram for this month, as well as a writing challenge here on the blog. I want to do one for … [Read more...]
