Friday's Letters
Dear 4th of July, hurry up and get here already! I'm looking forward to the fireworks. Dear Abby, I know it isn't until Sunday, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Love ya.
Dear Pierre Foods, the boys and I appreciate the extra time we're getting to spend with Eric, but seriously...give him his hours back! I also appreciate being able to pay our bills, which is a little hard to do with the slash his paycheck is taking. And while you're at it, how about you give him one of the many positions he has applied for instead of giving it to people like S who make an excuse almost on a daily basis on why they can't work. Not cool!
Dear Lady (our parakeet), really?! CHILL OUT! You psycho freaking bird. I think it's time for a name change since you aren't acting like much of a lady. Leave poor Sebastian (our other parakeet) alone. If he is moving to different parts of the cage to get away from you, take the hint! Don't follow him and start squawking at him. Geez.
Dear summer heat, this is what you would call too much too fast! Back off. I would prefer not to feel like the life has been sucked out of me every time I walk outside.
Dear mysterious health issue, you're really starting to freak me out. Please go away.
Dear to-read pile, I know, I knoooooow. I just keep adding to you without taking any away. I haven't abandoned you forever, I promise. I'll get on it ASAP :)

Am I The Only One?
Woot! I found a new link-up to do. I know, I know. But I just love doing these things.
Am I The Only One....
who really just has absolutely no desire at all to see Magic Mike? Is there something wrong with me? :P
who is not looking forward to this wave of summer heat? I cannot stand being hot. I get ill. Really ill. So ill that my husband no longer wants to be around me and volunteers to go in to work early. I should probably be a little offended by that, but by that point I'm so ill that I don't care :P
who doesn't have the money to go on vacation this summer? It really bums me out because we didn't get to take a vacation last year. It seems like it's just one thing after another.
who could spend hours looking at blogs and finding new ones to follow?
who could spend hours getting lost on Pinterest?
who probably needs to spend more time off of the internet? ;)
who is absolutely terrified of dying? Kind of dark and twisty (ha! Grey's Anatomy), I know, but still.....
who cannot skate? Or whistle? I can't do either of those things and feel like such a loser, lol.
who hears a noise in the house at night and automatically thinks it is a burglar or a murderer coming to kill you?

What I'm Loving Wednesday
Back again for another edition of What I'm Loving Wednesday! I hope everyone is doing well. :)
* I'm loving Chris and Logan's new dentist. We decided to switch them to a new one because their old dentist was just getting more and more rude with each visit and toward the end all of the staff just seemed to have zero patience. That's not a very good environment for the children, especially since Chris gets freaked out about going to the dentist anyway. They had their first visit with the new dentist today and he is AWESOME. Everyone was so kind and patient. I'm glad we made the switch. Both boys had a good report - no cavities! Woot! Chris had a little bit of a melt-down and even started gagging, I'm guessing because he was a little nervous about the change. But the staff was really patient with him and we were able to calm him down. Both boys walked away happy and with a little goodie bag ;)
* I'm loving my new keyboard! The other night Logan spilled soda all over my keyboard and it quit working. I called Eric and told him to stop by Wal-Mart on his way to work to pick up another one. I looooove the way this new one feels. The keys are soft and quiet. My old keyboard was really "clack-ity" and loud when I typed. I can type over 100 WPM so when I start typing that made for a lot of noise. This new one is so much better - and quiet, too ;)
* I'm loving all of the summer activities that the local library is holding. A couple weeks ago we took the boys to a Magic Show. On Monday they were having a Mad Scientist show but I completely forgot about it so we ended up missing that one. Yesterday they had "The Spoon Man" so I took them to see that. I wasn't quite sure what it would be at first. Would he do tricks or something? He ended up playing music with spoons. That was really neat! And of course all of the kids thought it was hilarious. The guy actually makes a living doing this. It's pretty cool. Some other things the library will be doing is a Happy Birthday Parade next week, a musical storytime, a live bird show, a puppet show, and they'll also have a balloon lady. We're looking forward to all of that!
* I'm loving that our air conditioner is working again! It was spewing out water but now we've got it fixed. Soooo thankful for that since we're supposed to have temperatures in the 100's by the end of the week :(
* I'm loving that gas prices just keep getting lower and lower. Who wouldn't be happy about that?! :D

Sunday Funnies
Sunday Social - Week 3
Linking up with Neely and Ashley again for week 3 of the Sunday Social. I look forward to filling these out each week :)
1. What is your all-time favorite song?
Just like with movies, this is a hard choice for me to make. There are some great songs out there. A couple of my current faves are "Uprising" by Muse and "Grenade" by Bruno Mars.
2. Who is your favorite singer/band?
Again, I have so many favorites. My top favorites are Muse, James Durbin, Phil Phillips (can't wait for his album to come out!), Lifehouse, Paramore
3. What is your theme song/song that best describes your life?
I think Bon Jovi's "It's My Life" is pretty appropriate.
4. What songs put you in a good mood?
These are always sure to put a smile on my face and get me dancing.
5. What is your favorite road trip music?
I usually just go through the radio stations until we find a catchy song or listen to whatever CD's we have in the car at the time.
6. What song are you embarrassed to admit you love?

Friday's Letters
Dear birthday, thank you for being wonderful this year and not absolutely sucking like you did last year. Much appreciated! Dear Abby and Joanne, thank you for celebrating my birthday with me. Couldn't have asked for better company.
Dear Chris and Logan, thank you for being sooo excited about my birthday, singing to me, and being super excited about eating my cake ;)
Dear bills, you suck! Go away.
Dear summer heat, can't you back off just a little bit? It's a little too much too soon, don't you think? :P
Have a great weekend everyone!

What I'm Loving Wednesday
Two blogs in one day? I'm on a roll.
* I'm loving that tomorrow is my birthday! Last year was hands down the WORST birthday I've ever had in my life, so I'm really hoping that this one is better ;)
* I'm loving that tomorrow night I am having dinner with a group of my friends to celebrate my birthday. It's always great to have a girls night! Chilis, here we come!
* I'm loving that I am getting better about writing in my blog. I would go months at a time without writing but these past few weeks I've really kicked it into gear.
* I'm loving finding new blogs to read. Like I need anything else to keep me on the computer ;)
* I'm loving that Monday night we took the boys to a magic show at our local library. They absolutely loved it and the guy was AWESOME. At the end of the show he made a balloon for every child. There was easily around 100 or more kids there but he was so fast at making them it still didn't take very long in line. The guy also does birthday parties so I'm considering using him for Chris' birthday in October.
* I'm loving that tonight I am going to a cook-out at one of my best friend's houses. A small group of us are getting together to celebrate the husband's for Father's Day. Sadly, mine won't be able to make it since he has to work tonight, but I'll help celebrate everyone elses :) Plus, it'll be fun to get together with the girls and let the kids play.
Oh, How Pinteresting
Today I'm linking up for Oh, How Pinteresting. It's my first time so I'm a little excited ;)
