Happy Monday!

How was everyone's weekend? Mine was pretty quiet. It was a pretty quiet week overall, but, I did get to have a short Skype date with the hubby ♥ Still applying for jobs and still hoping someone will call. On Sunday, N's friend came by to drive his BMW which has been sitting in the garage collecting dust.



Him and his wife brought their new puppy Mushu and he's just so cute!! He's about 13 weeks or so and he's a Siberian Husky. Makes me really miss when my dogs were that little with their sweet puppy breath. Now I have 2 large dogs with stinky dog breath haha Anyways, his wife went back home to Hawaii a couple months ago and I was so excited to see all the goodies she brought back for me! I have yet to try the Guava jelly and jam and I like that the sugar content on all the goodies were low :)



So, if you follow Evani, you guys know she came out to Seattle for a week and we decided last night to meet up halfway. I knew that if I didn't, I would of totally regretted it especially since she was willing to meet me half way. So, glad I did! We went to Starbucks and I probably rambled about God knows what and her boyfriend walked around the mall while we chit chatted away. Evani... Girl! I'm so glad I got the chance to meet you in person today and Thank you so much for the goodies! I can't wait to dig into my strawberry shortcake after I finish posting this.



Evani is actually my very first blogger friend I've ever met up with (actually, I've only known her for about a month) and she also gave me some good blogging tips and things. My husband was a little wary of me meeting up just in case she ended up being some old dude trying to kidnap me. If you don't follow her already, you should! I have to say though, for someone whose living out of her suitcase, she showed up looking all cute while I came looking like a bum next to her!!



After meeting and chatting away, Evani and Rob had to get going, so I ended up going to Daiso really quick since this one is better than the one in Tukwila. I picked up a couple things here and there. I loooove this store! Just about everything is like $1.50 unless otherwise marked and you can find everything from snacks, to household goods to stationary to beauty products.

Definitely a great day and what a great way to start off the week! :)

Happy Halloweenie!

Hope everyone is having or had a thrilling Halloween/weekend! I quickly put the dogs in Frankie's old costumes as some of them are still packed away somewhere when we moved. Here's a photo of Frankie wearing the same costume 3 years ago.



Frankie this year was a reindeer HAHA See, now you know I wasn't kidding when I said I couldn't find any of their other costumes. They only wore it for 5 minutes anyways. Quick enough for me to snap a few pics on my phone in poor lighting, but at least they got a treat for it!



Passing out candy went by pretty quick. I was generous this year and the kids got a small handful. One kid actually opened my door which the dad apologized and told his kid (who looked about 4) that he couldn't just open people's doors. I was more worried about my dogs running out though. One kid kept yelling out "Gimme candy! I want candy right now"... how rude! He was really young, probably too young to understand the whole concept of don't be a rude little boy. Oh well. Overall, a great night and I'm glad it's all over. I also headed out to Bath & Body Works earlier since they're doing their sale again *sigh* On top of that, I also had a coupon, so my 3 wicks were only $8 a piece!!

Alright, time to catch up on some blogs. Have a safe one!

A Week In Review

It has been quite a long week hasn't it? Or at least for me it felt like it. My husband was away and not being able to speak to him makes the days drag and the nights even longer. So, to keep me sane I have been addicted to watching Korean variety shows on Youtube and turning my house into Club Kpop haha Anyways, I'm not even sure what I did this week... it has been nothing but cold, rainy and gloomy here. Typical Washington weather. Not too sure what to write... I usually link up for the Sunday Social, but it's all about Halloween, so I skipped it for the week.

Earlier this week, I went to go get food and came back to these two who got in a whole lotta trouble. They were suspicious the moment I walked through the door and I found out someone POOPED in the living room!! *sigh* They're potty-trained and Frankie has not had an accident in the last 3 years! Maggie is still a "puppy" (she'll be 2 in January) but she hasn't had an accident since she was a baby. I didn't spank them or anything, just yelled at them. Then I found out they pooped in my office too! *sigh* Please do not leave comments on how I should reprimand my dog or they need lessons or whatever. It was probably my fault for feeding them before I left anyways.



I also want to Thank everyone who commented on my post awhile ago and thanks for the advice/suggestions. I usually don't post a lot of photos of myself.. I like being the one behind the scenes more than the highlight. But I thought this was a sweet photo of Maggie and I.

So, everybody is out and about celebrating Halloween festivities and I've enjoyed seeing everyone's costumes and fun everywhere. So glad that Halloween is almost here and soon it'll be Thanksgiving which I'm pretty excited for because my mommy is coming to visit for a week! A week is a very very long time. My mom is a handful of crazy. Alright friends, I am starving right now.

Have a safe Halloween/weekend!

Sunday Round Up + Sponors

I've been looking into purchasing sponsor ad space for quite awhile now, but I didn't want to commit into spending money and then not blogging. I apparently have a habit of sort of falling off the face of the blog world mainly due to laziness. But, recently, I have decided that I want to be more productive and more open on this blog about myself and my life ramblings. And of course meet amazing friends! Due to Instagram alone, I have met quite a few pretty effin' awesome ladies, which through blogging I hope to get to know more about you girls ♥ Since I think maybe yesterday or Friday, my blog stats have slightly gone up which makes me incredibly giddy and I want to personally thank Jelli at Jelli Bean Journals for the shout out on Twitter. Thank you thank you thank you!! That's a hint for YOU to go visit her blog and follow :)

So, this is our last weekend before hubby deploys and we're just hanging out at home. I got him addicted to Chef Ville on Facebook and he literally spent all day Saturday playing. He's packing up the rest of his things today. It's all a very bittersweet weekend leading up to the day he leaves. I think I'm some what prepared, but I'm pretty sure it won't fully kick in until one night when I lay down to bed and feel the loneliness next to me, though I do have 2 dogs to keep me company. Just thinking about it makes me feel a bit ill now. This will be our second deployment (not including him being stationed there before) and it will be my first one doing it all by myself. Back in the day, I lived at home and I had a good support system, but out here... not so much. Hopefully I get a job soon and that will keep me busy!

To recap my weekend, on Friday, I went ahead and transferred my license to WA since it expires on my birthday this year (Sept 2!). Which, yes, I know I can keep my CA license blahblahblah. Ended up running a few errands, painted my nails which sadly chipped the next day and I ended up removing it. We also made our last Drive Thru Boba run together. I also went to Uwajimaya since they close at 10PM and I finally found Matcha KitKat!! I have been looking for these for a really long time now and when we were on leave in Cali, Mitsuwa didn't have any :(

Saturday, we just hung out, watched movies, listened to K-Pop while I secretly fan girl over Big Bang), played Chef Ville. All very chill. It's about 2:16AM Sunday as I type this, so I need to head up to bed. Sunday will probably be spent helping him pack and get ready for the start of the week.

What did you do this weekend??

Lazy Sunday

How was everyone's weekend? The dogs and I had a pretty chill weekend and a ever so lazy Sunday to match. It has been gloomy and rainy all week and was excited when Sunday rolled around and it was beautiful and sunny out! I am addicted to Instagram (add me! @yenlinge) and someone I am following posted a Sonic strawberry cream slush and I just had to go try it yesterday. Aside from the looooong line, it was definitely worth it. It tastes just like a strawberry milkshake, but not as thick as a regular one. SOSOSO good! And since the weather was gorgeous, I decided to whip out my lomography camera my husband bought me awhile ago. I think I finished the roll, but we'll see when I eventually get it printed. Sorry, I'm getting completely sidetracked because I'm watching the Bad Girls Club and these people are CRAZY!

My Life in Instagram

Life has been good. DH left Monday at the wee hours of the morning and we miss him so much! We did get a chance to have a great weekend with amazing weather (I think we had 3 days of sunshine!). Since DH had a 4 day, we went out to Outback for dinner on Thursday and on Friday we went on a hunt for a treadmill. After going to a few places, we ended up just getting one at the Lewis PX for $799. One of the best things about buying goods on post... No Tax! I think we ate out that night too... at a Greek place in Puyallup. Saturday we went on an adventure to Bellevue and Seattle and just drove around and explored. We also went to Home Depot to purchase our first lawn mower!! Sunday was Easter. We don't celebrate, but the weather was at 72F and we spent the day in the backyard playing with the dogs and DH doing yard work.

Anyways, I'll try and post a recipe soon. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow and I hope it goes okay. I know I ate pretty bad over the weekend and tonight I had a caesar salad from BK... yikes! I should probably do dishes which I've neglected for the last few days and get ready to work out. Hope everyone is well :)
