Sorry for lil delay - BUSY weekend and week so far ..
1. I contacted a publisher and they are taking on my project - i have an "agent" that will be guiding me through the project - HOW exciting is THAT! - look for a book within a year!!!
2. one of my neighbors down the shore works in aerospace, he is going to set up for me to get my pilots license! (offered me a job to be a buyer, but would have to move to Atlanta, $$$ isn't that good, but it's food for thought)
3. Got stung by 3 bees/wasps ON my boob on Sunday - never been stung before, so that was eventful, to say the least!
4. the overwhelming response about my bucket list item, to see a movie by myself, has motivated me to new heights to accomplish this ASAP - i so feel like i'm missing out!!!
5. also studying for certifications (for work) right now and just lots of "to-do's" at work .. AND to think summer is suppose to be slow, no?!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
my loveies at ... It's Simple Love ... and Inspired Design tagged me in "Favorite Things" .. ( btw if you aren't following these ladies, your missing out, check em' out!!! )

SO here i go - with my "Favorite Things" - i already posted about Things That Make Me Happy - so here's a quick look at my favorites in life:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
i love coming into work, sitting down at my desk with my coffee - and reading all about what my fellow bloggers have to say - it's been refreshing to see others with the same points of view as well as completely different ones!
i LOVE a pleasant surprise! - whether it's a phone call, seeing an old friend, a great meal, a day with my Niece, a package in the mail, a gift certificate, a thank you, a smile, a present, ect. - i just love when you expect nothing and receive the world!
i'm a HUGE bath person - during the fall and winter months (or cooler weather, really) - i take a bubble/oil bath every night - i enjoy a book, magazine, or just solitude while i'm in there .. complete bliss!
there is nothing better for me, then to find an amazing deal! - i love going to discount stores, outlet malls, sample sales, or flea markets! - to find the perfect item at a fraction of the cost puts me on cloud 9!!! .. and i usually share to everyone i know, so they could get in on it too! - what's the sense of getting a deal if you can't share it, right?!
Comfort
nothing beats comfy things - feather bed, down comforter, fuzzy socks, warm towel out of the dryer, baggy sweatpants, fluffy pillows, smell of lavender, dim lighting, hiding in a fort, ect! - i'm ALL about comfort!
Pampering
i very rarely pamper myself - i'm usually too cheap to do this on the regular - but when i go for it, i GO FOR IT .. every so often i think i'm deserving of the spa treatment, and i full heatedly love it!
Cupcakes
i loooovvvveeeee cupcakes - they are sunshine made of food! - and i LOVE making cupcakes with my Niece, of course! - my fave, strawberry one's! YUM! (i've had strawberry cupcakes at every birthday of mine since i was probably 2!, haha)
Losing Weight
i don't think anyone can disagree - one of my favorite things is shedding pounds! - this has been a stranger to me as of lately - but i still consider it one of my all time favorite things!!!
Handbags
i LOVE bags! - i yearn for a new bag every season! - i will go without food to buy a new bag, if need be! - it's def. one of my FAVE things to get a new bag or even covet a bag!
Love
i am loved by many - and i love many - the uncanny feeling is undeniable - and i love each itty bitty bit of it all!
NOW i'll be passing the torch to:
bikinis and passports
Delightful Bitefuls
Red Vines for Breakfast
Simply Beautiful World
Gypsy*Diaries
Cafe Bellini
Fredericka Rose
The Zhush
A Diary of Lovely
The Diversion Project
i am chasing thirty
illustrate my pillowcase
*phew* NOW lovies - TELL ME some of your FAVORITES in LIFE!
sorry for my lack of support with comments on ur blogs - i'm SUPER busy with work and i'm watching my Niece today .. but i hope to get RIGHT on track again ASAP, even if i gotta do it at home *just the thought alone kills me* teehee (as u know i work on a computer all day, so i loathe going on one at home) .. and my google reader for some reason on my phone doesn't let me scroll (apple needs to fix that!) .. **kiss kiss**
