<br />
I obviously haven't posted in a while....largely because I just don't have the time. Between doing what I can for my Mom (she is holding her own right now....scans coming up VERY soon, which will dictate next steps), trying to maintain my job (which is being as flexible as possible BUT the demands of me are still the same, if not more), attempting to be a good friend (I would be utterly lost without my friends right now....don't' think I could ever repay them) and traffic...ah yes, my current lover, traffic (it is 89 miles between my uncles house (where my Mom is staying) and my work....straight thru D.C. mind you), I just don't have the time.<br />
<br />
I don't even have the time to be a good blog reader, much-less comment on my fave blogs...my google reader currently has 504 blog entries to read. I apparently won a blog giveaway, but didn't even know...sorry about that <a href="http://ellesees.blogspot.com/">Elle</a>....make sure you check out <a href="http://ellesees.blogspot.com/">Elle Sees.</a> ya'll!<br />
<br />
I am sure I will continue to be blog MIA, at least while my Mom needs me, she is my #1 priority. In the interim, I hope to be a better blog reader/comment-er and hopefully get a tweet or two in.Speaking of, my Twitter got hacked....I tried to reset the password, but that wasn't very successful. So now, I am starting over and you can find me on Twitter <a href="http://www.twitter.com/caraleighhh" target="_blank">here</a>.....Yes, I am a loser and my Twitter is private, but I work in HR, so you do what you have to do.<br />
<br />
I hope to catch up with you guys in one way or another....soon!Carahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06579170214243145151noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893500021468862393.post-79939781111065559612012-01-31T06:00:00.000-05:002012-01-31T09:18:19.012-05:00Yearbook Funnies Link UpHey' yall!<br />
<br />
Are you ready??? It's time to embarrass ourselves, safely among friends, and post pictures (many that you would like to forget) from the past! They could be school pictures, family pictures, you know...your 'awkward phase'...actually, the more awkward the better!<br />
<br />

As one of the hosts of this link up, I thought I should really embarrass myself...and sure enough, I had a lot of material to work with.<br />
<br />
Let the embarrassment begin!<br />

I am so excited to read this one! It had been on my 'to read' list for a while but I bumped it up once I saw ABC was coming out with a TV show based on the book this spring. Here is a description from Amazon.com:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>The GCBs of Hillside Park Presbyterian are praying for Amanda Vaughn--or so they claim. Will their evil gossip destroy her reputation, or will she show them exactly how to turn the other cheek</i></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Amanda Vaughn needs some heaven-sent help. She’s divorced her cheating husband and fled, along with her two teenagers, back to her hometown, Hillside Park, a Dallas suburb so upper-class that the question isn’t where to bank, but whose family owns the bank. Amanda is thrilled to be back in Texas—after twelve years in Southern California, she’s ready to leave behind her shallow, Godless life and return to the welcoming Christian world where she grow up. Or at least that’s the plan . . .</i></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>But when she arrives, she’s met with some Texas-sized trouble. Her old friends, neighbors, and fellow church members treat Amanda like a long-lost friend . . . until her back is turned. Then the claws come out. Amanda finds herself trapped in a world of salacious rumors, secret affairs, and Bible-study sessions gone terribly wrong. And what’s even more puzzling is that a secret admirer is sending Amanda lavish gifts. Why, she wonders, would anyone send a Mercedes when a simple dinner invitation would do?</i></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Packed with schemes, drama, and a Southern setting more fun than a barbecue at Southfork, Good Christian Bitches has humor, sass, and an unforgettable cast of characters.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
As you have heard me say before, I love when TV worlds, or even better reality TV worlds collide! It has happened again...and needless to say I am excited!!<br />
<br />
CMT has green-lighted the new reality show <i style="font-weight: bold;">Melissa and Tye: A New Reality</i>. The show will follow former 'Making of: The Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders', 'The Bachelor' ' Dancing with the Stars' star Melissa Rycroft, her hubby and new baby as they move to Los Angeles. Although no TV release date has been set, I will definitely be tuning in!<br />
<br />

<br />
___________________________________________<br />
That is not all from CMT...they have also green-lighted "I Love Jennie" which will follow Jennie Garth and her family (hello Peter Facinelli!) as they move out of LA and into the country. Again, I will be tuning in. Of course to see 'Kelly Taylor' but 'Kelly Taylor' married to 'Dr. Carlisle Cullen'...sign me up! Again, no TV release date, but hopefully soon!<br />
<br />

I am going to ignore that 'Carlisle' is wearing orange crocs!<br />

Slightly unrelated, tonight is the premiere of MTV's The Challenge: Battle of the Exes. I am sure major drama will ensue with this cast!<br />

So unlike me, and sorry to bombard you with ME !! I was reading and commenting on blogs of the day and came across this link up on a blog new-to-me.

I personally LOVE tattoos and love the ones that I have. Tattoos are a very personal thing and it seems like people either REALLY love them or absolutely hate them. I get so upset when people are judged by their tattoos, I just don't get how you can think you know someone based upon how they express themselves. Anyway, getting off my soapbox now and showing my tattoos!!<br />
<br />
I got my first tattoo in Vegas for my birthday in 2009...<br />

The big star represents my Mom and the two smaller satellites are for my Nana and Papaw. They have always guided me and continue to do so.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's true what they say....tattoos are addictive! After I came back from Vegas, I decided that the next one I would get would be dice. I just wanted two simple dice on my wrist......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-H_WkEmO-pYvDczsagmagKoWRGTn9dmFVlhslaQRFgftAThArqwW-D8IkbhtlVQMnXgpg8m-kXRsiNuZTvoSA4QK9307d5HCigivBKinBPOzxxvNf7I0fgPNuzMBh8nppvBEjPd6aDCI/s1600/wrist2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="232" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-H_WkEmO-pYvDczsagmagKoWRGTn9dmFVlhslaQRFgftAThArqwW-D8IkbhtlVQMnXgpg8m-kXRsiNuZTvoSA4QK9307d5HCigivBKinBPOzxxvNf7I0fgPNuzMBh8nppvBEjPd6aDCI/s320/wrist2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Note: it looks hella big, but that is just the crappy picture I took. It is on my left wrist so hard to photograph.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I went in just going for the dice, but the tattoo artist asked if she could draw something up....and here we are. I figure there is no one else who has it and I love it!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My 3rd tattoo was another spur of the moment decision....my recent birthday in Atlantic City..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuvLNYEIpsBX-G8PRMThoIMeBY_89-8hrixWPY_pW0XxIF1PsYYG-KLdrwUF7AfHoibh0iG6xy1DlEJpLywJO8yP37AoONmp9oWwI9RLv2l9KwFNGrhV9zygeLf4yXmlGenI-9CmmT1X8/s1600/foot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="181" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuvLNYEIpsBX-G8PRMThoIMeBY_89-8hrixWPY_pW0XxIF1PsYYG-KLdrwUF7AfHoibh0iG6xy1DlEJpLywJO8yP37AoONmp9oWwI9RLv2l9KwFNGrhV9zygeLf4yXmlGenI-9CmmT1X8/s320/foot.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Again...terrible picture, but this is very small on my right foot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Let me explain....it is a '304' which I probably need to further explain. I was raised in a small town in West Virginia...as far as I know, the entire state still falls under 1 area code (304)...at least my neck of the woods is still 304. Where I come from is a HUGE part of who I am and I am extremely proud. My friends call it my 'gangsta' tattoo...but whatevs..I like it. (My friends also like that it spells Hoe upside down...ha!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So that's me. I feel complete with my tattoos...for now, but who knows what the future holds!! I hope you won't judge me by my tattoos....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Do you have any tattoos?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I hope you had a great weekend...me, I am enjoying a 3 day weekend! Wahoo! And what am I doing today on my day off, catching up on work...ugh.<br />
<br />
While watching TV last night, I saw a preview for The Real Housewives of Orange County (premiering Feb 7th on Bravo) and there is yet another new housewife in the mix....<br />
<br />
<br />
<object align="middle" height="400" width="400"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
The preview shows the new housewife, Heather, repeatedly saying "I'm An Actress...I'm An Actress" with Gretchen having no idea who she is. I thought she looked familiar so I played the clip again....and sure enough I totally recognize her! The show information lists her as Heather Dubrow, which is her married name. A quick IMDB search finds nada for Heather Dubrow.<br />
<br />
But, if you are like me and have a crazy/random memory for TV, you will know to IMDB Heather as <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0656686/" target="_blank">'Heather Paige Kent</a>' and voila`! I was remembering Heather from a CBS drama/dramady back in early 2000 called "That's Life" (2000-2002). "That's Life" also starred; Paul Sorvino, Ellen Burstyn, Kevin Dillon and Debi Mazar. I really liked this show and remember being sad when it was cancelled.<br />

Totally random, but that is how my brain works when it comes to TV shows!<br />

<br />
On a semi-related note, here is my favorite Tweet of the Golden Globes night...<br />

<span style="color: purple;"><strong>Happy Sunday, ya'll!!</strong></span><br />Carahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06579170214243145151noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893500021468862393.post-18603473023595140922012-01-12T17:19:00.000-05:002012-01-12T17:19:19.782-05:00Babble, Babble...Hey ya'll! I hope you are having a good week! Kind of a 'eh' week here...in a bit of a funk and need to work my way out of it. <br />
<br />
I think the main reason for my funk is my Momma is not having a great week :( Round 3 of chemo (last Friday) has not been kind to her, so the past few days have been SUPER rough. I think she is starting to feel better today, but she has an appointment tomorrow am to have a port put in (more about ports, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_(medical)" target="_blank">here</a> ). She says she would just like a few days to be left alone with no one poking or prodding her. Also, she has been spending the majority of her time in her room. I am afraid she is getting depressed, which is completely understandable, but I need her to FIGHT! Totally had a breakdown on her last night (and felt terrible for doing so) but I think we both understand/appreciate each other a little more.<br />
<br />
My Mom would straight up kill me if I posted a picture of her online...so I figure I will cheat and post an old picture of us (circa 1996....holeee high school Homecoming)<br />

Ok, to lighten the mood a bit...here are a few of my random babbles....<br />
<br />
*Project Runway All Stars had me initially SUPER excited but....no Tim or Heidi??? Makes me want to not watch...even though I will. I miss Tim!<br />
<br />
*Last weekend, I got totally addicted to Shameless on Showtime! The first episode was like holeee way to much going on, but as the season went on..I am all in now! Anyone else watch?? P.S. What a hottie that Steve/Jimmy is....I could use a car stealing man like that in my life!<br />
<br />

*My aunt has made mac-n-cheese twice in the past week trying to nail the recipe. Anyone have a 'go to' mac-n-cheese recipe? I could eat the stuff daily, so I am not complaining....my jeans however......<br />
<br />
*I swear if I wasn't so nosey, I would definitely cancel my FB. It is becoming more of a place to b*tch than anything else lately.<br />
<br />
*I have hard such positive things about BirchBox that I think I am going to jump in and try it. Not sure if I will blog about it or not, seems like a lot of bloggie friends are getting BirchBox too and I don't want to saturate the blog world with it.<br />
<br />
*Has anyone signed up for BeautyMint? Jessica Simpson in pimping it and I was intrigued at first, but I cancelled out of the screen before signing up. Since then, I get emails from them with lower and lower prices. Seems odd, no?<br />
<br />

<br />
Ok, bloggie people...need your input. A few bloggie friends and I were tossing around the idea of doing a 1 time link up of 'old school' pictures of ourselves...you know, nothing better than making fun of yourself on the Internet with friends! We were thinking prom pictures, school pictures, etc.<br />
<br />
So.... is this something you would participate in??

One of my friends posted on FB a list of 'Things 90's Kids Know/Remember'....and it brought up so many memories, I thought I would share! I was born in the 80’s but definitely had some of my growing pains in the 90’s..<br />

Tuesday can only mean one thing.....Target Tuesday!!! This is your opportunity to go buck wild in Target (or at least in your mind) and link up with everything that you would like to have.

What are you loving at Target this week?Carahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06579170214243145151noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893500021468862393.post-17006750314015516662012-01-09T09:22:00.002-05:002012-01-09T09:22:00.111-05:00Baby You Can Drive My Car....Car shopping.....does anyone find this process fun?? Maybe it is because I am not a haggler at all...I am the worst person to take with you to a yard sale. I will 100% all ways pay the price they ask.<br />
<br />
The only fun part is seeing all of the bells/whistles and the test drives, but then......It seems like every place we go to, it is a game to get over on you....so frustrating! To top it all off, I am not 100% set on what I want...<br />
<br />
Every manufacturer has its pros/cons...do you look at safety ratings? Resale value?? Warranty??? Why is it all so overwhelming? Especially when you walk in as a woman...it is like they think 'sucker'!!<br />
<br />
So, I am down to 3 cars at this point, although easily swayed. <br />

For the past few weeks, I have been all about glitter! Specifically 'Frenzy' by Sinful Colors...Glitter is so pretty and let's face it, it hides all the imperfections!!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Jgywu1DlXfc/Tv3oN_vN6SI/AAAAAAAAAPA/Sqd8uyUU9lw/s1600/Frenzy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" rea="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Jgywu1DlXfc/Tv3oN_vN6SI/AAAAAAAAAPA/Sqd8uyUU9lw/s320/Frenzy.jpg" width="155" /></a></div><br />
And I usually pair that with 'Devil's Advocate' by Essie...<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LPAPnUOKbE4/Tv3oX5KH8JI/AAAAAAAAAPM/eL0CTsDzw2k/s1600/Essie+Devil%2527s+advocate.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" rea="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LPAPnUOKbE4/Tv3oX5KH8JI/AAAAAAAAAPM/eL0CTsDzw2k/s320/Essie+Devil%2527s+advocate.jpg" width="147" /></a></div><br />
But, this week I wanted something different, so I paired Frenzy with Essie's 'Merino Cool'....<br />
<br />

<br />
I hope you are having a great day and getting back in the swing of your post holiday routine!<br />
<br />
I am a bit behind, as I have been in Virginia since before Christmas, so I had a great surprise when I came home yesterday and found my present from <a href="http://www.celiasway.com/" target="_blank">Celia’s </a>Secret Santa Swap! <br />
<br />
<br />
I was lucky enough to be paired with Megan from <a href="http://www.littlegirlinthebigworld.com/" target="_blank">Little Girl in the Big World</a> and she really nailed me!<br />

<br />
Now that the holidays are over, some people get sad with the decorations coming down, full work weeks again, etc....but not me! January means new TV! Woot woot!! After spending the last 3-4 weeks in repeat/specials hell...finally new programming...Yes, I know I am a loser and fully accept that. <br />
<br />
Most fall programming is back new this week with some returning next week, but what I am going to focus on is new/returning programming starting in January (these shows return at various times during January, so check your listings..)<br />
<br />
What I am looking forward to this month ....<br />
<br />
<br />
*<a href="http://abc.go.com/shows/the-bachelor?cid=abc_ss1_bach" target="_blank">The Bachelor</a> (Monday, ABC, 8pm EST)...actually, not looking forward to The Bachelor this go around. Ben doesn't really 'stoke my fire' so I went ahead and spoiled the season for myself. If you would like to do the same, head on over to <a href="http://www.realitysteve.com/" target="_blank">Reality Steve</a> and find out who Ben picks!<br />

Brad left Rachel to set out on his own, but apparently there is some bad blood there.....<em>Bravo's It's a Brad, Brad World follows Brad Goreski through the excitement of embarking out on his own and making a name for himself in the glimmering, cutthroat world of fashion styling. No longer an assistant, Brad is in the limelight and ready to shine.

This docu-series is an all-access pass into the life of the small-town kid who loved theater and fashion, and who followed his dreams.

<em>*</em><a href="http://abcfamily.go.com/shows/jane-by-design" target="_blank">Jane By Design</a> (Tuesday, ABC Family, 9pmEST)..what can I say, I am a sucker for the ABC Family cheesey sitcoms. <em>Jane By Design is a light-hearted drama about Jane, a teenager who lands a job at Donovan Decker, a hip fashion house, when they mistake her for an adult.
