A 10 Things TTUT Swap Post....because I can.

HELLO? Do I still have friends? Have you been missing my comments on your blog? I took some time off. I'll be better this week. I PROMISE!

Today is an extra special Tuesday! I'm doing 3 posts in one. I'm doing my co-hosting duties with Shawn for TTUT, I'm posting about my fabulous swap package from Becky, and I'm linking up with Emmy for her 10 Things To Smile About meme. I know, I know. I'm pretty talented. I've heard that more than once.

1. Taking Emma to the Fort Worth zoo for some Mother/Daughter bonding time made me smile. She LOVED the bird exhibit. The MIL said she's sending her a parakeet. AW HELL NO. Don't worry. I set her straight.

 2. Starting out a WWF game with M like this makes me REALLY smile. BRING IT ON, Mr. Smarty Pants.

3. This shirt makes me smile. It may be my first "Cali trip shopping spree" purchase. I hope I don't ruin it by spilling the Captain down the front because after 130 days of no Captain, I'm bound to get sloppy.

4. Getting on the scale yesterday to see that I LOST WEIGHT even though I totally cheated on my diet this weekend makes me smile B I G. {Read as: ate chips and guacamole, drank a skinny margarita that made me want to slap the waitress that told me " Our skinny margs are really good", Japanese hibachi minus the ice cream, and a little bit of chocolate. Don't you say shiz about it either. Aunt Flo reared her ugly head. I rest my case.}

5. My reason for cheating? GNO two nights in a row. Thanks Slush and Kiss for Friday night and Slush and the RHOK for Saturday night. You made me SMILE.

Why, YES I do LOVE my iphone camera. That flash is all kinds of AWESOME.

6. Mom and I crafted again. This time, it was to 
decorate a shoebox to collect money for Relay 
for Life. Send me your extra quarters! Emma
is competing!! {More on this later}

Turn your head sideways. See? Pretty right? The theme is Rockin' For Relay.

 7. This picture makes me smile. Who doesn't enjoy some cinnamon butter on bread?

8. Emma talking to the ducks melted my heart and made me smile.

9. Winning $900 this month at the Hard Rock casino makes me smile. Are 2 trips in one month acceptable or should I call gamblers anonymous now?


10. My swap package arrived on Saturday and it made me smile! Thank you so much, Becky! You did great! =) I think co-hosting my first blog swap went well. I can't wait to see what everyone received!! Here's my box of goodies: {click to make bigger}

1. A magnet for Emma to paint.
2. She made me an "A" for Addict! {Or an "A" for my last name!}
3. A clutch to use on my next GNO.
4. A pillow for Emma to color on. It's washable! How cute!
5. Three boxes of sugar free jello to help me stay on my diet. I wonder if I could make jello shots?? ;-)
6. Adorable flip flops to add to my collection in my closet. COME ON SUMMER!
7. A cute little necklace for Emma and I to put together.
8. A beautiful coral scarf.
