The Friend Lottery.

"If you have two friends in your lifetime, you're lucky. If you have one good friend, you're more than lucky." 

S.E. Hinton

If I were to go by the quote, well, I guess I have hit the jackpot with friends.  You see, I don't only have one good friend.  I have many good friends.  Each and every one of them hold a dear place in my heart.  I couldn't imagine my life without them.  If there were a word to describe someone who is more than superbly lucky, well, that would be me.  In the friend department, that is.

This past Saturday my friend and partner in the "Walk for Hunger" event presented me with an early birthday gift.  Yes, my birthday month has started off with a bang.  Actually, it would be more appropriate had there been a burst of confetti when she told me that  my present was in the car.  I mean, does it get any better than that?  Heck no!

However, that is besides the point.  You see, having Miss K in my life is like winning the lottery of friends.  It wasn't just the greatness of receiving an early birthday gift, it was the simple fact that it was personalized.  It is the most thoughtful of all thoughtful presents.  And, I could not be more happy, I could not be more grateful, and I thank my lucky stars for the sweetest of friendships.

Sunday Sociall!

Hello again!  It is Sunday; you know what that means.  I am linking up with Ashley and Neely for the Sunday Social.  I hope every single one of you has had a truly magnificent weekend.  Here comes the questions... (1.) What is currently on your wish list? There are two things, well, two tangible things currently on my wish list.  The first is the Michael Kors Large Selma Studded Saffiano Tote.  It is just so perfect.  Don't you think?  Oh, and of course the new Dolce and Gabbana sunglasses.  I'm not quite sure what is is about these particular sunglasses, but, I am stuck on them.  I want them almost as much as I want to eat pizza every-single-day of the week.  I am crossing my fingers that my husband is currently reading this post.  Put out some positive vibes for me, okay?  I mean look at the bag and the sunglasses; aren't they just dreamy?  Oh, and world peace is on that list too ;)

2. Share a new iPhone, droid, iPad app that you have recently discovered that we all need.

I am not technologically savvy in any way.  Which makes this question extremely difficult to answer.  So, I am going to skip this question.  Now, if you were to ask me what app is the best app of ALL time, well, instagram, duh.

3. What is a new fall tv show that you have added to your dvr? Easy.  Reign.  If you haven't seen it, it is a must.  However, this isn't the kind of show you can watch while blogging, instagramming, or flipping through a magazine.  You must pay attention.  Which is why I am waiting for the perfect lazy day to catch up on the episodes I've missed.

4. Share your social media links so we can follow you. (Pinterest, Twitter, Instagram, etc) Tell us which is your favorite and why. I've created a twitter account, however, I never use it.  If I ever enter full force into the twitter world, I will let you know ;) Instagram: username --> RBarbie Facebook:  Little Miss Ren My favorite is Instagram, hands down.  Socializing without having to read everyone's ridiculous status, score.
5. What is a tv show, movie, or song that you could watch or listen to over and over and never get tired of?
The one television show I can watch over and over again is Gossip Girl.  Will there ever be a show as great as Gossip Girl?  Probably not.  Will there ever be a character like Blair Waldorf?  Not in this decade.  Actually I take that back.  There are TWO television shows I could watch and never tire of: Gossip Girl AND Pretty Little Liars.

Come back to me Gossip Girl, come back.

When it comes to movies there are far too many movies I love.  For your sake I am going to name one.  And, that movie is Clueless.  I still wish I had Cher's closet.  Cher will forever be the "it" girl.  And, if you say otherwise, well, there is only one thing to say to you, "As if".

When it comes to songs, well, there is only one answer to this my friends.    The one, the only MC Hammer.  Can't touch this....

You are welcome ;)

Happy Sunday, lovers!

FIVE on Friday, folks!

Source

There is less than two hours left of this magnificent day.  Which means....I still have time for FIVE on Friday.  FIVE on Friday is a link-up being hosted by A Liz Adventures, The Good Life, Carolina Charm, and Hello Happiness.  I came across it the other day and after seeing multiple link-ups out there, I decided why not.  Plus, there is less than two hours left of Friday, it isn't as though I have anything truly coherent to put together.

/1./  This Friday I did absolutely nothing Friday related. You know, nothing truly spectacular or worth mentioning.  Actually, I lie.  I made a delicious chicken soup.  It was so delicious I almost ate the entire thing by myself.  Don't worry, I shared with my husband.  I was feeling generous today.  A couple of my friends went out for dinner and I couldn't go.  Why do you ask?  Well, that leads me to number two.

/2./  Tomorrow when the alarm goes off at 5:30 AM I need to get up.  There will be no snooze hitting, no tossing and turning, no five more minutes.  I am sad just thinking about it.  We all know, I am not a morning person.  However, tomorrow I will be walking for hunger.  I will be giving a full update on the event later on in the week (maybe tomorrow, if I am feeling sassy).  Oh, and this girl deserves the biggest bear hug of a lifetime.  She volunteered to walk with me tomorrow.  Amazing.

/3./ For the third weekend in a row I will not be able to wake up, take a shower, put on clean pajamas, and watch aimless television for hours on end.  Do you know how many episodes I am behind on my shows?  We really do need extra hours in our day.  Who can I talk to about that?  I am yet to watch an entire episode of the new Grey's Anatomy season.  That my friends is pathetic.

/4./  Today marks the first day of my favorite month.  November, I simply adore you.  You can my post from last year here.  If I had just one wish.  One wish, it would be to have a New England kind of November.  Dream big, right?  Florida, I believe in you.

/5./  I was going to write something deep and philosophical for number five.  However, right before I started typing the first word in my sentence I hear my husband scream.  Yes, scream.  Apparently, Ziggy Marley is confused.  He is under the impression that our rug is grass.  And, he has made it his little-white-fluffy-haired life's mission to mark his territory.  By marking his territory I mean pooping.  Yes, Ziggy decided to take a poop on the rug.  He isn't even remorseful.  He doesn't even feel bad about.  Which means, it is an early night for the Ziggles.

Good night!  And, hopefully I will see you tomorrow.

(I think I'll do this again)
