That's right folks.
I signed up to Twitter a couple of years ago, didn't like it.
But I'm starting to realize that The Backwards Bride needs a Twitter... another part of social media to add with my Facebook and Pinterest.  Another way to connect with followers and the blogs I follow.













Please, please, please!








Thank you friends :)

You know what would be awesome?
If we got paid for pinning. 
That would be the most fun job in the world...

I haven't been on Pinterest as much lately, but thanks to this link up I have an excuse!

Wedded Bliss Wednesday

If money were not an issue, what would you buy for 

husband for Christmas this year?


OH! Just a few things...

-A house!  A house with a big yard so he could build a huge shed where we can store all of our moon bounces and all the other equipment.  (This way, we wouldn't have to rent out storage space for the company.)  Of course the house would have a mancave!

-Season suite tickets to the Redskins

-A week long honeymoon to an island or a cruise... doesn't matter.  Just to get away!

-Professional massages once a month (I want in on this one too!)

-A boat to go fishing on with his man friends.

-Front row tickets to the UFC


I would totally win Wifey of the Year











Tell Me About It Tuesday

Helene in Between
Well folks... I can no longer hang like the 21 year old gal that I was.
I already knew that... shit.
But I keep telling myself that "it's ok now and again."  No, really it's not.  Not when you have to work the next day that is.
My sister and I went out Friday evening.  We had a nice dinner at Texas Roadhouse.  I always get the same exact thing:  The Sirloin Beef Tips with rice (amazing) and a caesar salad (so fattening but so amazing.)
Then we headed over to Blue Water Grille.  It's like two miles from the house and they have a DJ Thursday-Saturday.  I actually love this place.  It's kind of small but I like the bar set up and the people that work there are pretty nice.


This is before we got super tanked.  Once the bartenders found out it was my sister's birthday, they started to get generous... too generous.
Oh and then I had to work 14+ hours the next day and 11 hours the following day = Not fricken cool.
I'm enjoying the fact that I'm getting older, just not my body!




On another note...




NOOO!

I fell in love with the X Factor this year.  This is my man and I's favorite dude!
Vino had the most heart and soul.






I could NOT believe he was eliminated this past week.
Cece Fry?  She should have been gone weeks ago.

So now my second favorite is Little Miss thirteen year old Carly Rose.







So damn cute.  Has the voice of a grown woman and every time she goes out to sing, she's just fascinating. 










And to end *Tell Me About It*...

I'm super pumped about the gym routine I made up for myself.
-One mile jog
-Weight lifting
-Ab work
-Three sets of burpees
-One mile jog

I would like to start adding this into my work out schedule each week once or twice along with my boot camp classes.  Especially once the Holiday season is over... I'm going to want to get rid of this extra flab I've been carrying!

Which reminds me... I've joined up with some of my boot camper friends for a 100 Day Burpee challenge.  It started on December 1st, so you still have time to start before it gets too crazy.  So for example:
Day 1: 1 Burpee
Day 50: 50 burpees
All the way to day 100!






If you decide to join in, let me know and tell me how it's working out for you!











Ten Reasons I Am Great

Ten Reasons I Am Great


1.  I gave birth to the cutest little person ever.

2.  I am physically strong.  Best shape I've ever been in!  Nutrition wise... I still gotta work on that one.

3.  I'm nice to just about everyone, unless they don't deserve it.  Then I'm great at being mean or saying stupid things!

4.  I'm funny as hell.  Really, get me going!

5.  I have a good memory... with the most random things like numbers, etc.

6.  I plan to run a half marathon in June 2013.  So far I haven't changed my mind.

7.  Thanks to my restaurant experience I'm pretty great at throwing parties.

8.  I'm great because I have a Husband that loves me.  :)





9.  It's been almost eight months since my last cigarette!

10.  I am fabulous at making mistakes!  But I'm hoping that one day my dumbass life decisions can help someone.
