I'm Mrs. Oh My Gosh That Brittny's Shameless

Things I’m Excited About Today.

1. The AMAZING Kuwait Weather.
I felt such happiness today every time I walked outside. I wish you guys were here to feel it too. I’m trying to soak it up while I can because before I know it I’ll be sweating all over myself again.

2. Chocolate Digestive Biscuits
What am I going to do one day when we move back to America!?! Do they even sell those there?

3. The Fact That I Can Officially Say That I’m Going On Vacation Next Month
Oh Boy Oh Boy! I can’t believe next month I’ll be back home enjoying a traditional Christmas! I’m so excited about our mini-trip to Minneapolis and Christmas shopping at the Mall of America. It’s going to be so much fun.

4. The Fact That Our Jordan Trip Is Right Around The Corner
I’m getting excited about this trip as well. We really wanted to swim in the Dead Sea, but apparently it will be freezing this time of year. Bummer. I still think I’m going to try to get in, even if it’s just up to my knees for a picture.

5. Mozzarella And Tomato Sandwiches

6. “Your Ex Lover Is Dead” by The Stars
I don’t know why, but I’m liking The Stars’ album right now. It’s not typically my type of music, but I’ve enjoyed it. Plus the album name seems so poetic- In Our Bedroom After The War.

7. Everybody Loves Raymond, Season 8
We just got this season in from Amazon the other day. I’ve already seen a lot of the episodes, but they still crack me up.

8. This Upcoming Weekend.
My boss just came into our office and told us NO WORKING THIS WEEKEND- no matter how much crap we have to do. My coworker and I mentioned taking a couple things home and he said he would not approve our overtime this weekend. We are to go home and enjoy ourselves. This makes me really happy. I can’t wait for this weekend, even if it’s full of nothingness. I’m just glad Will and I will get some time to hang out doing whatever we want!

I am, however, a little nervous because I get the feeling that he’s letting us enjoy this weekend because the coming ones will be busy.

Boo.

Wait- this is a post of positives! I can’t have the above crap in here!

9. Mary Kay Satin Lips
Simply wonderful. I’m about to make the biggest MK order EVER in the coming weeks- if you want anything let me know and I’ll send it to you when I get back to the States.

10. Bench Presses With Dumbells
My women’s gym has a really bad selection of free weights, so I’m about to max out on the highest dumbell weight they have. That’s not a good thing since I won’t be able to go any heavier, but it makes me feel good that I’m getting stronger!

11. Lucy
I <3 Lucy. No dog has ever brought me more joy. She is so spunky. She makes me so mad about 80% of the time because she's always into something, but I love her so much because she's got such a little fighter's mentality. She was the runt of the litter, but she sure thinks she's a giant!

12. “Come Alive” by The Foo Fighters

13. Iced Vanilla Lattes From Starbucks
There’s a new one by my house now! Will groaned because he knows what a money pit this place has become for me.

14. Long Sleeved Shirts
I think I’m going to pull a few out to wear next week.

15. My New Jeans
HA HA I’m going to wear them this weekend. Let’s all say a prayer.

I’m so excited about starting this weekend. I think everyone in my department is. I love you guys very much. Sorry this was a boring post. I just felt so happy about not having to work this weekend-plus the fact that the weather is simply a big fat hug from God today- that I needed to get excited about the little things. I hope you do the same.

<3

we should all make lists like this from time to time - things we are happy about and thankful for… it sure makes all the icky things seem so silly.  (for the most part… all day sickness sucks no matter how many other good things I have going on)

You have so much to be excited about! YAY!  Have a wonderful weekend!

Great list. I do the same thing about once a week, it really helps put things in perspective. Have a GREAT weekend!

Hooray for a great weekend! I’m rejoicing also that I’m almost done with the Halloween store...some of the people I work with are becoming unbearable and I need a break. Great things to be thankful for.

Thanks for the feel-good post today Britt, really puts a peppy prospect on my own weekend that’s approaching. Have a great one, you deserve it!!

Hi Brittny!  Thanks for your recent comment on my blog - it really made my day to hear some positive, inspiring words from you smile I enjoyed reading today’s post and made me remember that even though I’m kind of going through a dark time, there are lots of things to be excited about too.

And yes, chocolate digestive biscuits are yummy!

So, are you coming down to L-town for Christmas?  It would be really cool to see you, but we’re going to be up in NY, so we might barely you. :(

Speaking of Mary Kay, I totally got tons of it for my birthday.  They have these new lip duos and eyeshadow quads...I got the 2 quads and 3 of the 4 duos...2 new blush colors...a new bottle of Velocity...and the Bella Belara gift set...LUCKY...I love the new fragrance (Bella) They also have this new under eye stick (can’t remember the real name)...anyway it’s got this rolly ball thing and you roll it under your eyes (where the bags are)...and let me tell you...TOTALLY works.  I <3 MK

#2 Chocolate Digestive Biscuits ... the name just freaks me out, but apparently they do exist here!  My sister went to England a few years ago and discovered them there, came home and found them here (here = small town Indiana).  So with the chocolate digestive biscuits AND the clear tap water how can you not want to come home? wink

I LOVE MK’s satin lips stuff ... I actually ran across the scruffy stuff last night in the bottom depths of my make-up bag.  (I dont wear much make-up, but from the looks of my bag you’d think I’d wear a ton!) I love the lip balm that goes with it, it’s so yummy!

Love the list of good things! 

Have a lovely day!

You seem to be very professional and your knowledge referring to this good topic supposes to be great. Will you continue your story? We will buy some thesis proposal or just thesis from you.

In Media Across Cultures, we are already exploring some really mindboggling ideas. One of the last readings we did was about religion in unexpected placessoundproofing a room|soundproofing walls like neopaganism and witchcraft on the web, roadside shrines to the dead, alt christian music festivals and shamanic rituals in parking lots and hospitals. Week 7 is going to be on “Cyborgs and Anime”, and some of the future readings include such titles as “Aural Sex: The Female Orgasm in Popular Sound,” “Exit Meat: Digital Bodies in a Virtual World,” and “Techno-Orientalism and Media-Tribalism: On Japanese Animation and Rave Culture”. And so many more. I LOVE IT. This class seems like it was made just for me.

Truly one of the best restaurants in Kuwait for steak lovers. The food just melts in your mouth. Try the wagyu beef steak. Speechless. The burger is also awesome! It literally melts in your mouth! The well done tastes better than the medium well. Greek salad is one of the best! Classic! Definitely must try this restaurant! Its an amazing experience. I would recommend it all the way even though the wagyu beef steak is a bit expensive but worth every pennycafepress coupon code | cafepress coupon | cafepress promo code

This restaurant, which is a chain known as the Wine and Steak Company elsewhere, provides outstanding steaks from Australia—among the best I’ve had anywhere in the world. Sides are also excellent, and even the ‘cocktails’ were interesting and tasty. The restaurant is in a mall.cafepress coupon code | cafepress coupon | cafepress promo code

Many people see no problem with using a line of credit to pay credit card debt or for a vacation; however, this is the worst thing to do. You’re paying interest on a purchase that produces no income and sure you can say you have great memories of the trip, or now your card is clean, but you’ll soon put another charge on it and the vacation will be long forgotten while the debt remainsomaha steaks coupons

Have you been successful because of your leadership, or in spite of it? I’ve watched time and time again as companies and leaders succeed in spite of poor management skills. Now, imagine the levels of success they could have achieved if those who were in charge had great leadership skills? Or even just good leadership skills?

It’s always someone or something that is at fault. But in the end, the buck stops with you. Sure, you may not have inherited a stellar team, but that doesn’t mean you have to settle for mediocrity. You have the power to inspire people to exceed expectations. You also have the power to release people who aren’t making the grade. What you don’t get to do is blame everyone else for your team’s failure to perform Coffee Espresso Maker Reviews

However as a rule of dump, if it sounds to good to be true, it usually is. If the website of the free legitimate work at home job company is promising you thousands of dollars overnight and it appears to hype to be real, then it should raise some red flags. Penis Enhancement | Bigger Penis

One of Kurosawa’s graphically strongest works, reveling in spectacular wasted landscapes as well as choreographed action.Kurosawa has never made a movie more filled with humor and energy. His story isn’t made into a dirge about honor and violence,

We all know that most (not all) clients are behind the forward thinking agencies and that causes much frustration. Clients have silos (in a converged world), too many centers of power (when it should all be integrated) and a tendency (not always) to default to their comfort zone. Penny Auctions | Penny Auctions

We’re also experiencing a growing demand for professional level temporary tech talent across a number of industries (health and life sciences, telecom, etc.) Many corporate IT organizations are beginning to take on much needed maintenance that was shelved over the course of the Great Recession. The sort of innovation represented by these reported employment gains will add to the pressure of corporate IT to respond Penny Auctions | Penny Auctions

I know are either still out of work or are working in the local Target or worse trying to survive.

About

brittny I'm B-Love. I've just returned to America after spending three years in Kuwait with my husband Mr. B-Love and our two maltese, Boz and Lucy. We recently added two more doggies to our family, Rocky and Teddy. I love weight training, OU football, and lazy weekends. Buckle up and get ready for my constant embarrassing moments, continual madness at a new job, and my daily effort to rely on Christ while adjusting to life back in the real world.
