My hubby is the best at giving flowers. He always has been. And I LOVE flowers. So, perfecto!
But last night he came home with a bouquet and they were different than usual. Sometimes he goes to Shoprite or Whole Foods and picks up a bouquet, or sometimes to a florist by his job or by our house. But these ones, I had no clue where they came from. So, I asked. He told me Walmart, then explained that he needed motor oil and ran to Walmart to buy it. When he was there he saw the flowers and picked me up a bouquet.  And call me crazy but I just think that it is so freaking adorable to picture my big ole handsome husband on line at Walmart buying motor oil and a bouquet of flowers. It's so incredibly sweet. If I had been at Walmart and saw a man buying motor oil and flowers, I would have been jealous of whoever they were for cause I think it is such a sweet gesture.
Aw. Love is the best!

#DrunkInLove #ComingSoon #March13

I'm doing the #Januaryphotochallenge on Instagram but today's challenge is ten random facts about me and I'd rather just list them out here. It's easier - plus it gives me something to post.

 1. I have braces.
 2. I love television and this whole new binge watching trend rules my world!
 3. I believe in the powers of Mercury in Retrograde.
 4. I have two gray cats - Harry and Little Bud.
 5. I am a Sagittarius
 6. I am far from perfect and admit I have toxic tendencies. Working on it!
 7. I can't stand Facebook. It makes me feel bad. Too much comparing.
 8. I skipped Yoga this week. I was just too f*cking lazy. I nama-stayed on the couch.
 9. Right now, I'm listening to The Humpty Dance on my iPod while I type this.
10. I've been in the studio audience for The View (twice), The Tyra Banks show and The Martha Stewart Show. I loved them all!! So much fun!!

Eat, Drink and be Merry
That's the theme of the holidays. So, that's exactly what I did.
I ate like it was my job. Everything and anything! Yum. I couldn't get enough.
And I certainly did drink ...and drink which definitely lead to being merry. Lets just say I was so fricking merry, I had to shamefully be carried out of a party. There is still a bruise on my stomach that I cannot explain. Lovely.
But now the holidays are over and I must return to the land of promises to be good.
So, what does that mean? No more eating? No more drinking? Because that will definitely make me a very un-merry person.
I think this year my resolution is to find balance. To do things in moderation. I'm usually an all or nothing kind of girl. Will I actually be able to do this?
I have no f*cking clue.
But I'm gonna try.
Wish me luck!

Signing his name on the deal of a lifetime will make computer genius Carter Reed a multimillionaire, rich beyond his wildest dreams. But all the money in the world can't buy back the one thing he'd so carelessly pushed away years ago.

A holiday escape to Cabo seems like the perfect way to forget what he'd lost, until fate convinces him otherwise. Will he finally get his true Christmas wish?

Every year at holiday time I post this (unedited) short story of Patrick and Ashley Daniels. The Daniel's family is a favorite of mine and often sneak back into my books. This little read always makes me tear up at the end. 
Hope you enjoy.  Happy Holidays!
Love, Ryan
