Today is my Friday!

Tomorrow we are going to Biloxi & New Orleans for the weekend!

I'm excited for our mini vacay, especially since it's 

practically free.

The casino sent me coupons for a free room,

$450 in free gaming credit, & $75 free food credit! 

And a free cruise to use in 2014 if we come this weekend.

We couldn't pass that up!

So wish us luck! 

 

I'm Quitting!

Yesterday I had an appointment with my regular family physician.

I discussed with her what the OBGYN said and she agreed 

with everything of course.

She prescribed my Chantix to quit smoking.

The only major side effect she said she has seen is nightmares.

Although when I googled it I heard about other things like

angry outbursts, fits of rage, sleep walking, suicidal thoughts,

nausea, memory gaps, and nightmares.

I HATE taking medicine. I just don't trust most of it.

But, I gotta quit smoking.

I plan to document my journey of course.

And I plan to stat taking them on Monday the 18th.

I do have one major tip if anyone out there is thinking about Chantix.

Search the internet for coupons.

I could kick myself because after I picked up my prescription

for $240, I found a $75 off coupon!

Wish me luck!

Concerts

Hubby & I decided we were going to start taking advantage of 

all the things there is to do in Atlanta more often.

Although we live so close to Atlanta,

we don't go there as often as we should.

The city we're in is pretty boring.

In fact it was voted one of the best retirement cities in GA.

That's not so good for young people who want to

try new things and have fun.

So to start things off, I surprised him with tickets to

go see Alicia Keys next week!

Now, neither one of us are die hard Alicia Keys fans.

I love her music but it wasn't a huge deal if we did/didn't go.

The point  is to get out & enjoy life & experience

different things together!

I'm kind of excited since I'm off that day so

I plan to go get my make-up done and find a cute 'fit (outfit).

Of course yall know they say we can't take cameras in, but I'll

snap some cell phone pics for the blog.

Later on this summer I'm going to 

another concert with the girls.

This June we'll be seeing:

New Kids on the Block

Boyz II Men

98 Degrees

NKOTB was my first love!

I went to see them when I was in 6th grade.

My love for them was equivalent to the way young girls love Beiber today.

Boyz II Men was another group I loved in the 90s!

I'm almost certain several people I know had kids early because of their music, ha!

I was never a huge 98 Degrees fan.

However, hubby & I's first dance song was by Mariah Carey & 98 Degrees.

"Thank God I Found You" was our song.

Probably because I love me some Mariah Carey!

I tried to get us tickets to go see Beyonce this summer 

but her tickets were a bit overpriced and they sold outquick.

So no Bey for us!

The last concert hubby & I went to was Mariah Carey

and I think that was almost 5 years ago!

What's the last concert you've been to?

And what is the next concert you're going to?

Weekend Recap

Can we get an extra day in the weekend?

Maybe 3 full days off and 4 full work days?

I'd gladly sign a petition for 1 less work day. :)

Friday was our wind down night.

We just sat back & watched some movies

and then I was up all night working on Ancestry.com again.

I'm trying to do as much as possible before

my 14 day free trial expires! 

Saturday I woke up with a sore throat and stuffy head.

It was very mild but I felt the funk coming.

So I went for my trusty remedy that ALWAYS works.

Listerine.

Everytime I feel a little cold coming, I gargle Listerine.

You have to gargle it to the point where you're almost choking on it.

I know it sounds gross, but it works!

every.single.time.

I haven't gotten sick in almost 2 years because of this little tip!

I don't use this purple one that's pictured though.

I use the blue stuff, with the alcohol in it. 

So the next time you're feeling a little sick, try this!

But you must try it as soon as you feel it coming, 

not when you're already sick.

(I wasn't asked or paid to write this post- this is my opinion only!)

Saturday night, I went to a "girl's night in" for a friend's 31st birthday.

The plan was to play a few games, have a few drinks, enjoy 

some good food and then go out.

Well, 2 Lifetime movies later...it was a wrap.

That channel will suck you in and have you stuck to the couch!

Sunday we hung out at my mom's & relaxed all day.

We did go ahead and reserve our rooms for Panama City Beach.

We're anxious to get down there this summer and all the rooms

are already booking up so fast.

So now we're counting down the days!

Friday...finally!

PS. Don't Forget...

First Appointment

Today I have an appointment with a new doctor.

We are officially starting the process yet again, to try & get pregnant.

This doctor was recommended by a friend who tried for several years and after seeing him, 

she now has 2 gorgeous little girls.

So please say a prayer for me!

Europe is a go!

Thanks to a very dear friend of mine who lives in Germany,

we have decided on a Eurotrip to Germany, Paris, Amsterdam, & possibly Greece.

So we have decided to fly into Germany first.

My friend & her husband live 2 hours from Amsterdam & 4 hours from Paris and

they have offered to let us stay with them and they will drive us to both

Paris & Amsterdam!

And...IF  I can get a few more days off then the 4 of us will also travel to Greece!

*squeeeel!!!*

This is going to save us so much money since now we'll only need a hotel for Greece!

Now we just have to find decent priced plane tickets!
