Who Are You? Who, Who, Who Who?

Of course, I had to link up with Raven to find out who my celeb Doppelganger is.. 

I used this this site. Just look what it came up with..

Face No. 1

Match: 77%	Match: 75%	Match: 74%	Match: 73%
Sarah Michelle Gellar	Jessica Simpson	Morgan Fairchild	Tara Reid

I used this picture.

I don't know what I think.. I sorta get the Sarah Michelle Gellar.. But some of the others I'm a little skeptical about.. What do you think about my Doppelganger? 

Masters

Over the past two weekend, I have been busily decorating our master bedroom.

4 Target trips later..

It is ALMOST finished. Thank goodness.

The only thing left to add is the mantle for above the bed. 

We purchased it a while ago, before Mr. Army Man left, and never had the chance to refinish it. 

And here are some pictures from our room. 

Dresser: Kirkland's (from a while back)

And another shot of the bed.

Windows..

Bridal picture.. & bathroom 

(yes, we have a closet, it's inside the bathroom)

I am so in love with my room.. I never want to leave (and my husband isn't even here)!! Hah!

Make sure you sign up for my give away!

OTH

I've recently watched all the back episodes of One Tree Hill, and I'm literally having withdraws. 

I've been talking/thinking about writing all my favorite quotes down from the show. 

& here they are!

1. You never run out of chances.. As long as you give yourself one.

2. Happiness is a mood not a destination.

3. Sometimes the beauty is in the attempt.

4. The truth is when it really gets too quiet, when the silence gets too loud, an I really start to miss everyone. I tell myself I can't see you, but I know you are there. 

5. So for now.. I say goodbye to this chapter in my life.. and look forward to what comes next. 

6. Sometimes you have to cry out all the tears to make room for a heart full of smiles. 

7. Somebody told me that this is the place where every thing's better and every thing's safe.

Make sure you check out my give away here.

Good News & New Buys

Okay, so I'm just going to jump right in..

I got a ticket in early February for driving way to fast.

Like 80 in a 55 fast.

And since this is a blog about mine and the hubby's life.

I thought I'd share.

Anyways,

I had court today.

Good news is..

I have to go to driving school & get my driving records and then re-appear in court.

NO BIG DEAL.

On the plus side.

I thought I was going to have to pay $300 for it and actually only have to pay $50 for driving school.

And it was already in the budget.

Meaning...

I went shopping.

House shopping.

I got this beautiful lamp for our living room at an antique store in Pittsboro called Reclamation Home Furnishings. 

We have been looking for a lamp for about 6 months and finally found one that is perfect.

We are now finished with our living room! Yay!
Also at Reclamation I found 6 mini loaf pans for $3.

Also spent $4 on those colored flowers at Lowe's.

Adds so much to this simple mixed pot.

I got the two ferns for $7.50.
And of course I decorated for Easter.
Love my flag & my Dolla Store egg tree.


I also got some CAMO eggs. Mr. Army Man approved.

While I was out and about I had to get a snack.

Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting.

Pretty fitting for Easter right?

Except I came home and added some toasted coconut and gum eggs. Yum-O!

Hope everyone has a great day and a GOOD Friday!

Lush Strawberry Cake

1 box vanilla cake mix

(make according to package directions add 1-2 tablespoons extra oil)

Put in 8 in. round cake pan it makes two.

Bake. Let cool. Spread on

strawberry preserves

to cover.

Then top with

vanilla whipped store-bough frosting.

Top with

sliced strawberries.

Layer next cake.

Add more preserves.

And then put crumb coat (thin layer of icing) on the cake.

Place in fridge for 5-10 minutes.

Spread a thick layer of icing over entire cake and the sides.

Top with more strawberries in a pretty pattern.

* Disclaimer: I didn't spray one of the cake pans and it crumbled. Mine is not two layers.

On a totally different note:

Look what came in today!!

My new Juicy glasses. Totally made my day! Especially since I had to wait in line at school (an hour and fourty-five minutes) to get something signed that I didn't even have to have. WTH! Equals one pissed off girl.

And then got treated like shii at the post office for no reason!

I'm trying to do a good thing and drop off boxes to my soldier and his friends.

I mean remember the golden rule, people! Hello?!

Not a great way to start off my new classes and a Monday!

Then four hours of homework. Ugh!

END RANT!

Wish I still had some of that cake to soothe my troubles.

Anyway.. I REALLY hope every one's day has turned out better than mine.

Spring Break: Part Two

A continuation of my spring break re-cap..

Wednesday:

I had lunch with the same friend I went shopping with on Monday.

Said goodbye to family.

And had dinner with mom, dad, CoCo,  and my favorite football player.

I flew back to NC from visiting my parents in AR.

This is from Phillip's Seafood at the ATL airport.



Fried shrimp, crab cakes, and spring rolls at 8 am. Breakfast of champions.

Friday:

I did not one thing.

Sleep until 12 o'clock, lay on the couch, watch One Tree Hill.
A nothing kind of day.

Amazing.

Saturday:

I went grocery shopping.

(Story about that soon.)

Made this amazing strawberry cake.

Hung out with some of the best Army wives for a "Fiesta". Where we ate that luscious cake above.

We are planning on having a dinner party again soon before the men come home. Yay!

And got to love on this little cutie!

Sunday:

Went and ate lunch with two great friends, at Cheddar's in Fayetteville, North Carolina- of course!

If you leave in the area.

Check it out!

I had the Sheppard's Pie.

Then went and saw "21 Jump Street."

Channing Tatum. Sold.

This is the funniest movie I've seen in a while. Must see.

My stomach/jaws were literally hurting from laughing so much! Lol.

Now to get back into the swing of things.

Schedule. Check!

Busy. Check!

Homework? Check.

Looking like a chicken with my head cut off. Always..

Hope everyone has had a great weekend! And a fab Monday!
