Christmas Cookies and Bedroom Wish List!

Ok so I promised pictures for y'all from my sister and I's cookie making extravaganza!!! Well here are those that I promised! Tuesday I must do my Corn Flake Candy or either tomorrow night and yes more cookies!

Needless to say it was a very fun night but a very large mess to clean up!!!

Next I think I mentioned that Mister Guardian and I scored big and a friend of us gave us a King Sized bed because they had to get rid of it.  I'm thrilled plus it has basically never been used so SCORE! Only one little issue with it, which of course the mister sees no problem but then again he doesn't care much about how the room looks he just sleeps there! It is green! Keep in mind is was in a cabin so it has a very woods feel and is like Pine Tree Green! For a cabin in the mountains in the woods FINE for my coastal beachy oasis not so fine. So this is sorta what it looks like here...

Konteaki Furniture

Except remember it is pine tree green!!! I want something a little more like this...

Except with different bedding! But I think come summer or Spring I'll break that bed out and strip the current paint and paint it this beautiful color white and maybe distress it a bit!

While I was looking for the beautiful bed that I want mine to look like I found this bathroom... As long as it had my beautiful tub (I have a problem I want jacuzzi mixed with claw foot mixed with rain shower head) but it it had all the qualifications with a fireplace I might could be in love. I hate cold bathrooms!

Ok so that is all for now and I will go back to dreamland about how I want my house to look!
Do you ladies (and gentlemen if any of you are reading!) What would y'all like to see out of my blog in the new year? I'm open for suggestions!

Off to Dreamland again!

Sweetest Sister Ever!

I promise I will get around to posting pictures soon but lets just say they are nothing like the pictures I posted that I wanted them to resemble but it was fun! Tonight we were going to make more but I had a horrible sick headache and I was babysitting my younger sister again! Keep in mind there is a 14 year difference between us and I'm about to be 22... So she realized I was sick and covered me up gave me a pillow and my favorite Build-A-Bear that I made with Mister Guardian and decided she knew just what I needed to feel better. You are probably thinking Chicken Noodle Soup but of course a child of that age can't make it so how does that happen, nope she made me a PB&J! The sweetest thing EVER! On top of that my family has this strange habit at our house, we each have our own color cup. My dad hates not having one go to cup so each of us has a special one and we wash our cup each night because my mom hates having tons of dirty cups around! Well my sister couldn't reach mine but didn't tell me that so she went into the dishwasher and found a tall blue snowman coffee cup to put me some sweet tea in, I guess you can figure my cup color is blue! She cheered me up so unbelievably well so we sat and watched iCarly and Suite Life on Deck the rest of the night! I thought this was just too cute not to share!

Getting excited for Monday/Tuesday/All week!!!

Christmas Goodies!

Ok so this is what my sister and I will be working on tonight and I simply can't wait!!! Granted she is a bit younger so keeping her focused and making it look perfect will be hard but I simply can't wait to have fun with her! So I figured why not blog what I'd like for them to look like then I will blog what they actually turn out like later tonight. We will also be working on my grandmothers recipe for Corn Flake Candy that has always been a favorite of mine. I can't wait but for now enjoy more pictures of yummy goodies.

 The Following picture is from Work at Home Mom Revolution

Ok so later I will be posting pictures of how everything actually turns out for us! Can't wait to show you!

P.S. my cornflake candy is made with 1 c. sugar, 1 c. peanut butter,  1 c. light syrup and 6 c. corn flakes!

 Enjoy!

Background Love!

Ok y'all I really want to make a header and background for my blog so it's a bit more interesting for my readers because well I'll admit it I don't even want to read it right now because it looks so boring!  So if anyone knows a good site or somewhere that I can visit a tutorial and learn how to make this blog a bit more interesting that would be greatly appreciated!

In other news I have started working on a list of a lot of things I hope to work on in the new year and of course what is listed above is one of those things! Once I finish that list I am sure to post it but I want to have it fully complete and not continuously adding things because I want this blog to keep me in check!

Ahhh and the days are slowly counting down to Monday because I may get to see my love if not then I WILL see him Tuesday! I can't wait to spend the holidays with him because it just makes everything that much more cheerful!

Off to sleep land until tomorrow!

Stupid People At Gas Stations...

Ok so today seemed to be the normal day today and with all this luck I've been having my dad and I decided it was time to go cash in some random scratch offs he had picked up and we'd won on... So I unfortunately 5'3" 100 pound self has to go in to redeem them while there is a major creep star standing in the door. I figure just walk in the other door and he would leave me alone. Not the case major creep star turns like he's about to grab me... Oh hell NO!!! I'm not a fighter so I brushed it off but I stiffened up too I'm not ok with people coming after me I'm not ok with things like that you are a big man pick on someone your own size right? Well I had to go back to ask my dad something and creep star just stares me down then starts approaching the car. I was able to leave and go back inside when creep star proceeds to ask my father for money? Really you trying to slum it in a nice pair of Italian Leather Shoes I think NOT! Well I notice that as I am inside finishing up the transaction creep star decides to stand right behind my dads car, is he an idiot I mean my dad has horrible depth perception so this really wasn't smart of him on top of annoying my dad already when he approached me and begged for money. As I finally began to leave not knowing my father wasn't prepared for what possibly could break out he had also locked me out of the car and the guy had moved to the back end of my side of the car well lets just say firecracker here was ready for anything that might happen and as I was trying to get my dad to open the door creep star yet again began to approach me. NOT ok dude, I wasn't sending out good vibes but he never once backed down. Well since my mother works for the popo my dad had already called and asked an officer to come over because if creep star will do this to me he would do it to some unsuspecting college kid in my town and yes I'm from a small town but we have a small college there too.  By the time the popo had finally got there (the same cop that has a damn crush on me how annoying!) the guy had left, I'm guessing he figured that since we were still sitting in the parking lot that we were waiting on the cops. Plus we find out that the guy is a repeat offender and isn't even supposed to be on the property WTF but they think he has Alzheimer disease at the age of 40 but he refuses to go get checked for it. I'm sorry but girls like me that have had guys try to take advantage of me or hurt me in the past don't take this simple gesture as something to not worry about it puts me on high alert and little bit here doesn't like feeling like I'm in danger! So all in all now at the end of the day I look back and laugh but let me tell you I was hot and shaking I was so mad. So I hope that my accident can bring some laughter to all of y'all!

Next I finally made a Christmas wish list last night and was wondering what everyone had on theirs? I'll share mine with y"all now:
1. I'm dreaming for this but I know I probably won't get it = iPad

2. Kindle = ♥

3. Kardashian Konfidential and Sugar & Spice plus way more but these are my guilty pleasures!

4. Sephora Gift Card so I can do some damage!
Mainly I want the following with that gift card!!!

5. The Victoria's Secret UGA Pajama Sleeper Set = LOVE!!!

6. Dear John, Eclipse, Eat Pray Love, Letters to Juliet DVD's

7. A Jessica Simpson Luggage Set for all the traveling that I do!
I'm Kind of obsessed with this one because of all the cute anchors!

8. Fossil Watch!!!! = GORGEOUS!!!
Either one of these will be perfectly amazing on my wrist!

9. Things for Jonathan and I and our house! Which was partially answered because we got a free King Sized bed from a friend with bedding that is simply gorgeous all I need to do is strip the paint and repaint it!

Love y'all! Let me know what y'all would like to see more of! Plus juicy details of my weekend coming up soon!

Miss Lifeguard!

Ladies and Gentlemen,....

I can see my degree its just a few days away yet I still will not be able to touch it until May!!!

Whereas I know that it is only an Associates it means that I am one step closer to getting my bachelors! If you know me well you know that me staying through classes is an amazing feat to be bragging about. It is sad to say but I want classes that challenge me with like minded students but yet I always end up in the class where we don't learn all the material that we should and on day long reviews I go out of my mind crazy because I'm ready to take the test and move on!!! So soon it will be smack dab in holiday season with degree number one and tons of time to blog and girls let me tell you I have lots and lots to blog about.  Plus I have a sudden wedding to go to next weekend and need some style advice! Now ladies how many of you have dropped hints for months about that gorgeous pair of shoes that you wanted? I have done that tons of times before well this pair I was talking about was gladiator pumps and guess when my man decides to get them. Yes two days ago so that I can wear them to that wedding next weekend in the mountains in the cold but I can't complain because I am absolutely in LOVE with them! Yes I love Jessica Simpson Collection shoes and that is exactly what these pretty little babies are! So let me guess ya'll want to see a picture now? Ok well here it is...

Well crud muffins I tried but the picture won't pop up... so here is the link : http://www.jessicasimpsoncollection.com/SHOES/High-Heels/KELLE.html

Can you tell that my lovely fiancee isn't thrilled about the wedding we must attend??? But more on that in another post! So I pose yet another question for my readers... that is if I still have any out there... what would ya'll like to see out of my blog ask me anything and I will post fashion, make up, random BS, anything and it is yours!!!

So until tomorrow when I will post more about this exciting wedding...NOT! Enjoy and leave me tons of suggestions ladies!

Bullying!

Ok so maybe I'm late but all of this virtual bullying has hit close to home with me.

Whenever I was in high school I dreaded waking up in the morning to go to school.  I knew the day would just be the same as the day before where I would be constantly made fun of.  I never wore the right clothes because my parents didn't feel the need to spend $50-$100 on a pair of jeans that I'll admit I'd just ruin.  Whether I'd get paint on them or mud I was a tomboy and had hardly any respect for clothing back then, old worn in jeans and t-shirts were just enough for me but that didn't stop my spirit from being broken by the comments.  I wasn't from a rich family but my daddy sacrificed a lot for his job!  I wasn't the prettiest girl, I had the uncontrollable curly/frizzy hair, I had/have crooked teeth because braces weren't affordable and at the time I passed out at the mention of a dentist or orthodontist (I have since overcome this fear and am in the works on trying to figure out how to get invisaligns so that I can later get vaneers over my teeth if possible.)  I had a horrible unibrow (remember tomboys didn't give a shit about the girly things) and yes a had dark hair above my lip which is natural in my family because we just have really dark hair but waxing and nair work just fine now!  Yes I'm opening up and this isn't something that I would normally ever do so if you have something rude to say please just don't comment because it will make you no better than the people I went to high school with.  I had such a broken spirit in high school that I was lucky to get dates because after a while I quit using make up I always wore my hair up and instead of jeans I turned to sweats, needless to say it was horrid!  I hated walking into the school building and facing all the people male or female that ever made fun or said rude comments to my face or behind my back that I later learned about.  Still to this day whenever I see some of these people from my high school that I remember so vividly that broke me down I cringe and wish that I could curl up into a ball and just cry the pain away.  Somehow I made it through the horrible bullying and I am so thankful I did because now I can say I"m making something of my life and I have found love and waxing, Nair, Flat irons and curling irons, and cute clothes that make me feel so glamorous at times that I never think about those horrible days of high school.  I pray for all the families that have lost someone due to this bullying and I pray that others out there can find help or at least hold on because one day you will realize you are worth so much more than these people will ever realize!

Sad Day!

So for the past 17 days *Yes I said 17 days* I have been with my one and only love.  He left to go back for work and all that Jazz Friday afternoon and I cry a little everyday now that he is gone its kinda sorta depressing!  I feel like these past few days literally have been better than we have ever spent together in our relationship it was just so full of love and excitement!  My darling made me the happiest girl ever we played in a few poker tournaments, went to a Georgia game *Hairy Dawg Loves ME!* helped me through schoolwork and had a couple super special dinner dates! My love makes me so happy and I miss him so dearly but hopefully in less than a month we will see each other again and I can't wait to cherish that time together just as I did these past 17 days!  I got to take a few pictures and experiment with our camera some more in some gorgeous scenery that I will leave you with so enjoy!

Milspose Round-Up

Ya'll head on over to Me and My SoldierMan and link up to participate in the Milspouse Roundup to meet some more Milspouses! Lets hope this is the beginning of my weekly post lets just pray I can post on more than a once a week basis. I need some inspiration ladies so anyone have any ideas?

~Miss Lifeguard!

Fashion in my mind...

Ok so I was a tomboy all through school and then I was set free in my Aunt's very feminine hands and let me tell you those ladies can shop! They planted a seed within me for fashion and make up and most of all shoes and purses. One major problem though that I have found, people in my area find the things I love insane. We are supposed to wear neutral things or either very southern Gone With The Wind and pearls. Don't get me wrong I love my heritage but I would rather dress Hollywood glam any day but I get the strangest looks if I do that in my area. So ladies my question to you is how do I accomplish my look without possibly drawing so much attention to me because frankly I am tired of the jeans and t-shirt look everyday to fit in I want to be able to draw out the beauties in my wardrobe without looking so completely out of place. Any suggestions? Plus I have a weekend trip coming up that I have no clue what to wear HELP! Enough venting for now tomorrow will be a better post with some beautiful pictures and some awesome quotes I must get back to blogging soon because I have so much to say but I feel like no time! Schedule making to commence once I post this blog!

~Miss Lifeguard

Giving this a try... Again!

Let me know what ya'll think!

Plus I am considering selling my laptop to purchase a MacBook what does everyone think?

Ok so now its bedtime but more interesting things in the future and some awesome pictures!


I worked a golf tournament Friday that was supposed to be sexy beer cart girl that turned into bundled up ber cart girl but we made some great money for a great cause so I am happy!

~Miss Lifeguard!

Top 2 Tuesday! Amazingness!

So Top 2 Tuesday!

This week it is Top 2 Indulgences...

So So Super Tough...
Biting my nails begins NOW!!!Ok but getting down to business..
1.)

Shoes!!!! I love them, all of them. Heels, wedges, tennis shoes, running shoes, pumps, and yes those beloved UGGs, and no Southern girl could live without her cowboy boots! So my latest purchase you may ask... well this picture is worth a thousand words in my opinion plus I'll add my two future purchases!


So my friend and I found these darling shoes $60 off of what they sell for so of course we yelled amazing I got this pair and she got the pair that I am about to post that I want next!

Absolute love them! I needed the black multi first for a wedding coming up that this will be my little splash of style and I can't wait to wear them!!! And next for winter I need to add another pair of UGGS to the closet with these cute little babies!



2.)

Super Cute/Comfy Undies!

Now this may sound crazy but my dad always told my mom to buy herself good undies that made her feel good and lasted longer than others and told her to raise her daughters that way! Well mom and dad I thank you because now Victoria's Secret loves to see me come in there store! No I don't go overboard but I don't run out for a while and I always shop whenever I have discount coupons so I stock up! But everything there makes me feel so sexy even if it's just a t-shirt bra and I love that feeling!



Don't get me wrong I could take out stock in their sweats and yoga pants too!

I loved doing this so much this week it got my mind off this crazy school week and crazy weekend ahead if just for a second. In December I'll have my Associates and ready to go elsewhere for my Bachelor degree and I can't wait! I'll try to get better at this I am now in the process of establishing a routine so it should be going smooth within the next week.

Can't wait to read more Top 2's this week!

Had to swap out a class today and waiting on books and just stressed in general...

Ready to get into full swing after this semester I will have my associates although it should be a bachelors..

And I will be able to write posts better after this semester or more professional!

Now to bed so I can rest before class tomorrow!

Night all!

The past few days in pictures!

So as I posted a few days ago and we have been taking pictures like crazy! Silly pictures, artistic pictures, sunsets, boats, anything and everything so I figured I"d share just a few for now. Still learning how to use it and can't wait to get better. What do ya'll think?

In the city park its a cute little view finder but my zoom works better!

J in the State Park doesn't he look handsome?

Sunset with a bit of the lighthouse sorta artistic.

Amazing sunset!

Adorable abandoned sandcastle just had to take a picture.

I may think they are dirty but I just had to get the picture.

No need trying to control my hair on the break wall its pointless but this was an amazing night and I'm so thankful that someone was nice enough to take our picture together!

Friday Fill-In I'm Back!

1. What is something you wished you’d learned to do earlier in life?

Cook, because I can only cook a few things and a few more with the help of Hamburger Helper so I'm tired of the same things over and over. Any advice ladies?

2. What is your biggest pet peeve with the military?

The uncertainty of scheduling. We had a big weekend trip planned about two weeks ago that got ruined. Yes I understand and no I'm not mad about it at all I respect when duty calls its just I hate bailing on people and sometimes they don't understand why because they don't live this lifestyle!

3. What tourist attraction near you have you never seen?

Well up here Michigan Adventures, but back home... I think I've seen them all except the things in the mountains... my family has never taken vacations to the mountains!

4. What are you avoiding doing right now?

Cleaning because I'm just too darn excited about going to get my camera but at least the dishes are halfway done before I made this post but soon I'll get back to it all!

5. Wine, beer or liquor?

Well this gets complicated. I used to like only liquor make me a Sex on the Beach and I was a happy lady all night long until I met my dear friend CA. Her dad created this craft brew and it is simply amazing! It is so smooth and crisp and no bitter after taste (yeah that taste that used to make me puke does not exists in this beer SWEET!) So yes now I can handle liquor and only and I mean only Those Guys Beer! If your curious that is the name of the beer!
