WILW: Fall Part 2

Yay for hump day!! A few weeks ago I did a WILW post about fall and today I will do part 2!

Don't forget to visit here!
This will be the second brand eye roller I have tried and so far I'm loving it. Will I buy it again? Maybe. I really want to try a few others before I label one as my "favorite".
 I finally caved and jumped on the bandwagon. Yep, I joined {and now stalk/use} Pinterest. I'm loving all the ideas I'm finding. I've even started my shopping list after browsing around.

 Fall is, hands down, my favorite time of year. It's the cooler temp, colors, smells and changes that I love. Plus it kick starts the holiday season. Leaves around here have started slowing changing colors and the weather has been cooler for a day or two. It's that time!
 I love pumpkins! I haven't carved one in years, but it's on my "fall bucket list" this year.
 Now that the weather is getting cooler it's time to bring out the light jackets! I love cooler weather! I read somewhere the other day that fall is God's gift to Southerners for surviving summer. :)
 I haven't put away my flip flops yet, but I have been sporting my Toms a few times already. I love my Toms! A second pair is already on my list of "must have: fall clothes".
I'm loving this new show! It's my kind of humor and I laugh out loud almost the entire episode. I used to want to have guy roommates- I just think that would be easier than living with girls {most of my friends are guys!}
Maybe sometime soon I'll do a post about my fall line-up for this season. There's several new shows out that are good and are replacing some of my old faves {like CSI}.

I hope you all are loving something today!

WILW

Whew! It feels like forever ago since the last time I did a WILW post! I'll keep it short and sweet {or try}...
Don't forget to visit Jamie!
 I'm loving this weather change, but I'm not loving my frizzy hair! I couldn't find my usual go-to hair helper, but I found and bought this. So far I'm loving it-- just make sure not to use too much!
 I'm loving my super cool "butt pillow" similar to this one, but mine is bright yellow!! I fell two weeks ago and "cracked my coccyx" {gotta love when you know the nurse!}. So I've been sporting this cool fella, nicknamed "Mr. Cheerio".
Just to be clear: I'm not loving the broken tailbone!
I'm also loving pain meds :) HAHA I am NOT a druggie... {you try working 8 hours a day IN a chair with a broken tailbone!} I've started taking Ibuprofen 800mg and I'm loving them! 
 I'm loving this week for a few reasons! Sunday was my sweet grandmother's birthday. Tuesday was my sister's birthday and Thursday will be my niece's birthday! We've been partying all week!

I'm loving this post that I wrote yesterday. Please check it out and leave me some love comments. I need to be reminded I'm somewhat normal. :)

I'm also loving that I put up our Columbus Day sign Monday. That means we get a 4 day work week very soon!

I'm loving that I'll be spending a week here sometime soon! Too bad Brad will be in class all week!

WILW: Photos

I thought I'd do something a little different today. I haven't had time to look for pictures of things I am currently loving, so I thought I'd give you a small glimpse into my train of thought lately... These are all pictures I am currently loving and I want to share them with you! Enjoy :)
Don't forget to click here and link up!
I'm sure you've all seen these in emails, but I tend to save these wordless photos and use them for my desktop background or in those random moments where I need to clear my head or chill out :) Haha!





This one is quite possibly my favorite! How cute is this?!?!


This sums up July in Mississippi!


And this one sums up August! :)



I hope you all have a great day! It's hump day! :)

WILW: Amos

You know what to do!

What I'm Loving is that Amos is healthy!!

What I Love includes the following items! {I'll give you a second to scroll down and see then come back here! :)}

Oh, you need to me explain? Hehehe... let's start at the beginning, shall we?
My dog is "special". He has a routine and you do.not.stray. from the routine or you will have a 200 pound mess on your hands. Do not move his bed, food bowl, or any piece of furniture or he will freak out. Seriously. Anywho, let me speed up... He has always, always gone to potty at or around 730am, 12, 5pm and 10pm. Those times can adjust 30 minutes to an hour, but that is all you're getting. SO imagine how I felt when all of a sudden Amos is only going out every 12-18 (or more!) hours?!?!

This "mama' just knew something was wrong. Not only was he not going, but he wasn't even getting up off the floor! I called the vet and they suggested ME collecting a urine sample and bringing it to THEM. HUH? "You want me to do what?" I think is what I mumbled.  Yeah, it was either that or load him up and carry him myself! So, I put on my big girl panties gloves and grabbed an old Betty Crocker icing tub with lid and followed him outside... You can imagine what happened next.

 Did you imagine me chasing him around the house with my pretty blue gloves and cup hoping and praying he would stop long enough to let me catch him? Because that is what happened.
 Guess what? I took my sample {in the can with lid, in a gallon size freezer bag} to the vet and the sample was "no good". What? Huh? Really? They need fresh pee and it needs to be in a cooler. Too bad they didn't tell me that before!!! I go back home for round number 2 of "catching the pee" and it was still a game to that poor dog. He wouldn't get out of the floor so I had to ram him {gently} with the vacuum cleaner until he got up!

This time I got TWO samples for them.
 After all that "fun" I feel like this woman!
{Side note: I googled "frazzled woman" and got this. Really? She's a 50's housewife-- how is she frazzled??}


 The Vet's office called later to tell me that Amos does NOT have a UTI. He's probably "being rebellious". Huh? We moved over 4 months ago and he is just now rebelling? Whatevs.

Now he's holding it over 20 hours and I think that's insane, but apparently Vets do not.

If you made it to the end... CONGRATULATIONS!! I know this isn't my typical WILW posts, but I really do LOVE my dog and I LOVE that he doesn't have a UTI. I also LOVE the fact that my life consists of text messages like this: "Gone home for more dog pee" or "I just took a 200lb Mastiff's urine sample all by myself" or "You owe me!! I just chased your dog around the house to catch his pee in Mama Lynn's icing tub!!"

HAHAHAHA
Have you done anything interesting lately?? I'll leave you with a picture of my patient! :)

WILW: Fall

Click here to read what others are loving today!
 What I'm Loving Today is all things Fall/Autumn related. I've never, ever been a fan of summer {except summer break in school}. Something about the heat, humidity, random showers that make the heat and humidity worse, and heat index just doesn't cut it for me. Fall is my favorite season! I've noticed more and more shops are putting out their fall clothes now and a few decorating stores are putting out all things "harvest" related. Yes, the girl in Kirkland's yesterday corrected me when I asked about the "fall" things. She asked "you mean the harvest things?" Whatevs. Moving on... most of these do not need captions, but speaking is not an option. I was born to talk/write/convey messages.
I want this. I need this. I love this.

I would have this in a heartbeat if he wasn't so darn expensive.

Ok, ok, this is slightly freaky looking, but I have a weakness for owls.
Cute doormat!

I wanted this pumpkin last year but didn't get it.

Not exactly "harvest" but I still love it!

Cute lantern! I love this color, but an orange one would be cute!

I have way too many jar candles and this would make them look even cuter!

Bath & Body Works candles are the best!

Smells yummy- not too sweet!

Possibly my favorite!

Probably my 2nd favorite!

Cuteness. Total cuteness.

Everything but the candles are from Kirklands. Candles are from Bath and Body Works.

What are you loving today?

 Don't forget to link up today!

I'm loving Starburst!
I've been craving Starburst and finally got a small bag on Monday.
 I'm loving these brownie bites!
I'm not loving the calorie count though :(
 I'm loving this oddball too! Even if I think he has more crazy days than normal ones :)
I'm loving this store. I can probably count on one hand how many times I've been into Loft since it opened in the mall in Tupelo. They have such cute things, but not cute prices. I lucked up on a good sale two weeks ago so now I'm stalking them again! :)
 I'm loving Target, as usual! Too bad I have to drive 60+ miles to the closest one! Target people, if you are listening, please add Tupelo, MS to your list of places to build!
I found this dress and this dress this past weekend. Can't wait to wear them!

* I'm loving that fall clothes are starting to hit the shelves! Yes, I'm still buying for summer, but I LoVe fall. It's my favorite season! 
* I'm loving my sweet Amos. I hate he can't be my little lap dog so instead, I crawl down in the floor and lay in his lap :) And when I do, he'll put his little big sweet paw on me.
* I'm loving my sweet, brave, precious mama for cleaning out my horrible, nasty, terrible, stinky, yucky, gross, nasty, horrible, very bad smelling frig this past week. It was bad. Very bad. Ugh, I might throw up {again} thinking about it. Yeah, I was hid out in the bathroom making friends with my toilet while my mom was cleaning that nastiness out. Ewww. Bless her. She's a tough woman.
*I'm loving that this Saturday night will be spent with a close friend and some others for a little Girl's Night Out. Jenessa's getting married in 9 days!

I think that's all for now! Happy Hump-Day everyone! I've got to get back to work :(
