My Loves & Blog Love

Yay! I love some blog adoration!

So I got this award from High Heels & A Badge and here's how it goes...

7 things I love:

1. Mr. Marine - He is the best! I have never met a man more passionate about his beliefs. They say you should always marry someone who challenges you and makes you a better person. He does that for me. When I lack strength, he gives me a lift. When I lack heart, he shows me where it is buried within me. He is always pushing me to be my best, and I am always (well, almost always) grateful.

2. My Family & Friends - I know it sounds cliche, and maybe it is to some. But in the military life, there isn't anything more important than family and friends. And sometimes, the two are so closely related it becomes difficult to distinguish the line.

3. TRX - Wondering what the hell this is? I mentioned earlier that I do some marketing for a personal training studio, so I have had the opportunity to learn some new exercise stuff! TRX was designed by Navy SEALs so they could have a full body workout while on missions. The device hangs from something and you suspend yourself on these straps. Kind of like yoga and strength & conditioning in mid air? But I'll post more about this soon!

4. Stuart Weitzman - Ok, so I don't actually know Stewey. However, his mind is wondrous. His shoes yell my name when I stroll through Nordy's. But we have a very volatile relationship. I love him one minute, then I hate him (b/c I can't always have him) the next minute. Oh how I lust for you Mr. Weitzman...come hither...and bring your latest designs!

5. Treats - I am on a major physical overhaul so treats are not permitted...but they are desired! I yearn for a Red Velvet Cupcake with Buttercream Frosting. I need a giant sugar cookie with icing galore! I must have a slice of keylime pie. Oh my lord, deliver me to the land of creme brulee. Ok, back to reality. After all, I've got sliced green peppers in the fridge!

6. Clothes - I can't narrow it down to faves, so don't ask. As you know, I am in a very committed relationship with Nordstrom. However, I may or may not have had a recent one-night stand with J. Crew. Don't worry Nordy, your still my go-to guy...it wasn't love with Mr. Crew...just lust. I swear it will never happen again (and if it does, I'll come give you extra attention immediately).

7. Alcohol - Now, I am certainly not a big drinker. Mr. Marine will drink me under the table within the first 30 minutes we are at a bar. However, I do love a great drink. Martini bars have a vibe that relaxes me...or maybe it's just the drinks doing that. I love a dark, but dimly lit, wine bar where I can sip a yummy Cab. I have never had so much fun, as when some of my best buds at Camp Lejeune and I spent the day drinking margaritas in the backyard. Oh, and I can't leave out my love of beer. I don't want Bud Light (though I won't be rude and turn it away). No, I want the good stuff...Bass, Harp, Sam Adams...

Now...I must pass this along to my 7 favorite bloggers:

P.S. Sorry I haven't written any meaningful posts as of late...I have just been swamped with work and can't seem to find 10 minutes a day to spend with Mr. Marine...much less sit down and put my thinking cap on.

I'll be back to normal form soon!
