10 Fastest Growing Suburbs?
So it is rare that on a night I must work I actually develop a post but I saw this article and you all know how much I love ranking our great nation in any capacity. Check out this article which ranks the 10 fastest growing suburbs in the US. Washington and Utah have multiple listings and I was somewhat surprised to see my state, TN, and even one in Louisiana on the list.... Maybe I will daydream about relocating...

Shopping...
Well it has been awhile since my last post... My mom's visit has come and gone but in about 2 weeks she will be moving in my house to stay for a little while. My mom is coming back to TN and that makes me happy.
Please say a little prayer that I am able to get my schedule so I can attend all the football games and competitions. If I am lucky to get some beautiful shots with my Nikon then I might get one published in the yearbook!!! Excited! I'm a photo taking kind person, always have been....
Going to have a big tye-dye day with the nieces, making some "school" spirited stuff and something cute for my bestie's future child.... Also thinking about taking my nieces to knoxville to go to target or something... we'll see. Before I know it summer will over, the girls will be in high school together, and we'll have weekly football games.

- I noticed that many shops are having semi-annual sales, or had some memorial day discounts. I have to say I have spent some money- got a few gifts, couple things for the house, maybe a couple things for myself (some needed). Bras at VS
- Also I got the free shipping subscription at Zulily- I love them so much because 1. everything is one sale! 2. they have the best and newest stuff 3. they have new items/retailers every single day and email the list at 9am 4. I can save things to my wishlist so if i don't buy it the first time I see it then I can think about and easily see when it has returned for purchase! Please sign up for an account through my link (I get credit for you if you use my link to sign up) Sign up is free it just allow to see the sales - no obligation to buy, to fee to sign up. Go here Zulily please!
- I have part of my garden started, still have to dig my second bed and have hubby build the frame. That will have my cucumbers, zucchini, cantalope; already got my tomatoes and pumpkins started. The pumpkins have actually started to sprout above ground (so excited).
Stool $12.99
Top $9.99
Cotton Swab Holder $5.49
Above photos are my recent purchases from Zulily, aren't they cute? and affordable?!!!
- One problem I am having is what to send my dad for father's day. No idea what to do but hopefully I can come up with something this weekend. Any ideas?
I guess that is all for now folks... Seeing my nieces tomorrow and then a shift a work...

Tomorrow begins National Nurse week, so to all my nurses out there thanks for your effort and let us celebrate! My job is doing a couple things, my last shift before my vaca-stayca I will get to wear a t-shift for half my shift & get an ice cream sundae (assuming that my patient don't hit the call like constantly at the start of my shift).

Free Oregon Cafe for me!
Remember my previous blog post about a new product I tried called oregon cafe vanilla latte? Well after I posted my great thoughts about it on my blog I sent them an email to share it. I just wanted them to know that I thought it was great and wanted to share it with my friends and any random person that takes the time to read my blog or FB page. I never thought they would be so super sweet to send me anything in return but they have.... Maybe I'll have to do a sampling and blog about my favorite! Honesty and kindness pays off, yay!
If you missed my previous post- these are coffee concentrated drinks you just add milk too. I have only had the vanilla one and I usually get a cup- add ice- pour in some milk & Oregon Cafe- stir and ENJOY! I don't have a coffee maker and sometimes am on the go so this is great. I've even thought about taking to work but then I'd probably have to share... hehehe. Grab some today! For under $4 at my local walmart it is well worth the price (that is like 1 starbucks drink but with O.C. you get 8= awesome!). I love starbucks but lets be honest- thrifty they are not.
If you can find it in your local grocer try Amazon or Walmart
Would love to here about anyone else's experience!

Wednesday -snow covered!
"Fear not..for I am with you.."
Jeremiah 46:28
Although that is just a excerpt from the verse, to me it is the best part of the message. (This is where I am at in reading the bible) There is another verse in the bible that states that same thing, probably more popular...
Isaiah 41:10
New King James Version (NKJV)
Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’
- Are you in need of a winter coat? Right now Kohls online has most of theirs on clearance, check it out!

Jumbo Chocolate Chip Cookies
Jumbo Chocolate Chip Cookies
by way of Miss Betty Crocker
3/4 cup each (brown sugar & granulated sugar)
1 cup butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg
2 1/4 cup flour (i used more like 2 1/3 cup)
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 bag (12 oz) semi sweet chips (or 2 cups for those who buy in bulk)
1. Preheat oven 375
2. Cream sugar, butter, vanilla, & egg
3. Stir in flour, salt, baking soda
4. Use a #16 scooper or 1/4 cup measuring cup to scoop out & place on ungreased cookie sheet 3 inches apart
5. Bake 12-15 minutes (i did 15)
Makes 1.5 dozen (I got 19)
Options:
- You can add 1 cup nuts (i did not).
- If you aren't into jumbo yummy goodness you can make "regular" cookies- use tablespoonful & cook 8-10 min.
- You can also substitute candy coated chocolate candies (M&Ms) for the chips (might have to try that next time..)
Oregon Cafe concentrate...
I recently tried Oregon Cafe Vanilla Latte concentrate. It's pretty good, the best part is I pour and go, just like getting a glass of juice or something. I have only tried it cold but I think it is great. The best part is that you can control the taste by adjusting the amount of milk you use. I tend to live in the land of " I like a little coffee in my milk and sugar" so this fits me well. The best part is right now on coupons.com they have a coupon for $2.50 off (at my walmart this product is just over $3 so I basically got it for a dollar).

Duck Dynasty, The Bible, & GMC...
At the moment I'm digging this song. And yes I am also watching Duck Dynasty (I thought to myself months ago "Duck show, what in the world". Though it would be boring but truth be told it is funny. Nothing wrong with a little mindless entertainment that makes you life)
- I recently saw a preview for a show in the history channel called "The Bible". Looks good so I might DVR it. I could always use some more God in my life, especially with my current struggles with work.
- Do you have the GMC on your tv? I do and have been watching it hear and there for years. A few reasons why I like it is because they have awesome "uplifting" wholesome movies, also a pretty good show called Heartland. I admit I watch probably more than my fair share of tv but sometimes there is just too much garbage and I need something positive, not to mention I could leave the channel on 7 not have to turn it if my nieces came over because they don't have inappropriate content.
That is this coming Sunday's schedule, I have seen a few of those so tune in if you can, you won't regret it!
