YouTube Tuesday

Good morning everyone!  Before I do my weekly YouTube Tuesday, I have to touch on the fact that I've been a bit neglectful of my blog.  In all actuality I was just incredibly busy this weekend.  I saw many other blogs about the 10th anniversary of 9/11 and I was hesitant to do one myself.  I won't go on for long about it, and rather than go into all the political nitty-gritty details about how I feel about it I will just say this:

I am a true American.  I love my country and I think what happened on September 11th 2001 was a horrific even that took place in our country.  I was 16 when it happened and until that moment, was able to grow up knowing nothing about war, and extremists. It makes me sad to think there are young adults in this world who have never lived a life where terrorism did not exist in our vocabulary.  But, I will say that I am not one to lie down and believe everything that has been told the public about what happened that day. Am I a conspiracy theorist? No.  But, I have every right as an American to want to know the truth about what happened on my home's soil.  All it boils down too though, is that for no matter what reason....I pray that all those innocent people did not die in vain.  And no one will forget that day.


Okay then...onto the video for today:

Warning: this video does drop the F bomb....but it's hysterical LOL.

pinTerest Thursday

Good morning!  Here are some images that I found while obsessing on Pinterest.com the past couple days....




I grew up loving those little dots on paper strips.  Funny how I seem to be in love with cakes lately (I had a picture of one last week on pinTerest Tuesday).  This would be such a fun wedding shower cake with some kind of a candy theme.  Maybe "Love is Sweet"?

This looks like such a fun project.  It's simple and would not be messy.  Also, it would be great for kids.  I have a large glass vase so maybe I'll do this for fall.  Hmmm what colors?  Pink and gold would be really pretty.

So, like many other girls, I'm a sucker for a great quote.  In high school, one of my bedroom walls was nothing but quotes and song lyrics.  I just believe that some words, put together just right, can create an emotion.  And that is such a beautiful thing.  I'd never heard this quote before and I was surprised that Bob Marley said it....only because I know a decent amount of Bob quotes....just not this one.  I loved it so much because it reminds me that everyone is human.  Something we should never forget....even if it has to do with that guy that could never do anything right lol.

Happy Hump day everyone!!

It's the middle of the week!!  Congrats to everyone whose made it this far LOL.  I only have a 4 day work week  this week so after tonight, I only have one more night of work left!

On that note I plan on using my day on Thursday to drive to Providence, RI and sit in line at 8am to wait until noon to see the Stanley Cup.  I'm a HUGE hockey/Boston Bruins fan so I'm dying to finally see the cup.  Since most of my friends work days, I may have to go alone which will suck but I don't care....I have to see it!!  Also, the assistant coach for the Bruins will be there with it so I'm excited to meet him.

If I'm really brave I may just beg them to let me pour a bit of water in the top of it and drink it.  Then I can die a happy soul LOL.

Here is a picture of my newest tattoo on my leg... a few inches above my ankle (I had 6 before this).  Think I'm a die hard fan?????

YouTube Tuesday

Yes, I'm sorry....another day with a theme.  I promise, no more after this though.....for now.   I just HAD to ad this one only because I love YouTube and I find myself finding videos on there that I wish I could share with others.  Only problem is that all my friends are sick of me adding videos on their Facebook pages 24-7.  So this is my last option.  From now on I'll be doing "YouTube Tuesdays" and "pinTerest Thursdays".  I also promise to do my best from adding a Wicked Wednesday lol.

For those of you who spend as much time online as I do, I'm sure you've been on YouTube enough times to know that ANYTHING is on that website.  Trust me, I've started with a subject like cooking and then ending up being enthralled in videos of people breaking diving boards and falling into pools.  How?  I have no idea.  It's come to the point where I've named this habit, YouTube Adventures.  Honestly, that is exactly what they are.  There have been times when I was so fixated by videos that I suddenly look at the clock only to realize that I had been sifting through videos for at least an hour.  In my defense though, I am a sports coach and I spent 60% of the time on YouTube looking at videos of other teams and learning new routines and techniques.  For as much of a distraction that website it, at least it can be used for education purposes.....when it's not being used to watch videos of those people falling into pools.

Okay then....here is the first YouTube Tuesday video.

Freddie Mercury's Bday was Sept. 5th....he was a legend.

Delia runs on Dunkin

I don't care what kind of day or mood I'm in.....Dunkin Donuts makes everything okay.

The most perfect drink looks like this:

Medium iced coconut flavor with extra cream and Sweet N' Low = LOVE

On another quick note.....LOOK AT THESE FLOWERS!!!  They were left over from a wedding and given to my work for a decoration.  I plan I trying to steal them, take them home, and pretend a hot man sent them to me LOL.  The picture does not do them justice they are seriously at least 3 feet high.

A very bachelorette weekend....

My best friend from high school is getting married Sept. 24th and on Friday night we obviously went out on the town.  We started by eating dinner at The Renaissance at Patriot Place in Foxboro, MA.  If you live in the New England area, you HAVE to check out Patriot Place in Foxboro, MA (I've added a link below to the hotel and to Patriot Place).  Our dinner was amazing....rather pricey, but the food was excellent and the presentation was beautiful!!

So of course after our awesome food, and a large amount of alcohol we of course went to a bar within Patriot Place called Bar Louie and proceeded to drink our faces off.  Many laughs, dance moves, and embarrassing photos filled the night.  Only thing I was kind of pissed about was that NO ONE bought us drinks...not even the bride-to-be.  I don't mean that I would just expect people to spoil us but I mean no one even offered to buy a drink for the bride....THE BRIDE.  Does anyone else think that's kind of rude? LOL  Oh well, not like she needed them anyways....we racked up a bill of $200.  By the way, there were only five of us and one wasn't drinking since she was the DD.  So a $200 bill for four girls....should I be embarrassed about that?  All in all, it was a good nice considering we had to pull over three times on the way home so the bride could throw up on the side of the road.  Yup, it was pretty epic.

This was the hotel we at dinner at:

pinTerest Thursday

Ok I finally broke down and not only decided to do one of those "day of week" postings.  So now every Thursday I'm going to fill up a post based on my addiction to Pinterest.com.  If you don't have an addiction to it and do not want to feen a website, I highly suggest you DO NOT go there.  Especially if you enjoy cooking, crafting, or photography.

With Halloween coming, I can't wait to carve pumpkins....but I may try this.  They are so pretty!  Now if only my front steps were as pretty as the one in the picture.....

Everyone that knows me knows that I am a huge fan of anything nautical.  I love anchors especially. An anchor is a symbol of hope and I love then so much I actually got an anchor tattoo on my left ankle.  I saw this cake and almost fell over.  This is a dream for me!

Okay, I'm sorry....got to talking about nautical and I had to post this other gem I found on Pinterest.  I LOVE this baby room.  The best part about it though is that Stella is what I plan on naming my first born daughter.  Stella is a family name (my grandmother's aunt's name).  If I almost fell over at the sight of the cake, then I fell on my face when I found this picture.

For my last random image today.... One of my best friends is getting married in a couple weeks so my brain has been in wedding mode.  Her bachelorette party is this weeding (which I'm sure will be a hott mess lol).  I keep finding such cute wedding picture ideas and this is the newest one.  Every picture I show he she loves and wants to recreate.  I'm sure she'll add this to the list.
