Friend Makin' Mondays...

Mondays are becoming my favorite blog day of the week, thanks to Kasey over at All That is Good.  She's bringing together some really cool friends every week (thanks Kasey!).  Go here to learn more about FMM -- I'd love for you to join us!

This week we are sharing the 10 things we can't live without.  Wow, to narrow it down to 10 is tough, but here I go...

1. The Keurig Gourmet Coffee System.  My friend Becca introduced me to the Keurig, and I rushed out and bought one for my kitchen.  And I love it so much I bought a second one for my office.  It hands down makes the best coffee, one cup at a time.


2.  Polished Nail Salon -- if you're in the Dallas area, you MUST go to this fantastic and affordable nail salon.  It has the greatest hot pink and orange pedicure chairs, and everyone is so nice (Theresa and Samantha take good care of me and ChellBell).  The best part is that you choose a new bottle of polish at the time of service, and you get to take it home for touch-ups... How great is that??!!

3.  The Chi Flat Iron for my very big, out-of-control, curly hair.


4.  The eyelash curler.  I was not blessed in my bra size or in the length of my eyelashes.  So I curl my eyelashes every morning.  I'm waiting for a similar contraption for my breasts. :-)


5.  Fast Food (since we're being honest here...)  I love hamburgers and french fries, and when I can get them fast, that's even better!  Don't judge me -- you know there's nothing better than a square hamburger patty followed by fries dipped in a chocolate frosty.  mmmm, I'm getting hungry...


6.  Cell Phone.  Seriously can not imagine life without it.

7.  Google.  Remember the days when we had to go to the Public Library and look up stuff in the encyclopedias?  We couldn't imagine life with an infinite amount of knowledge at our fingertips, with no card catalog or microfiche...


8.  The back-up camera on my car.  Have you ever had something and thought "well, that's kind of dumb.  I'll never use it."  Yeah, um, kind of like me and this back-up camera on my car that I am now addicted to and could not back out of my garage or parallel park without.




9.  My camera.  It goes everywhere with me, so I don't miss a minute of life.  I even take it to the office, so I can snap my teammates when we close a deal, or when something funny happens.



10.  Home Decorating Magazines.  I'm crazy about them and can't get through the line at Target, Walmart, the grocery store, you name it, without picking one up, totally mesmerized by the pictures and inspiring ideas!


What can you NOT live without?

  2. I love list. I hope to join in the fun later today.

    Regarding your comment for #8: I love my backup camera also. On my previous car I had rain-sensing wipers. At first I thought they were silly now I think they are the greatest thing ever for cars and I totally miss them.

  3. What a thoughtful post! I may have to join in today as well. I agree on the fast food, the eyelash curler and car gadgets - I had a mercedes that you could operate without even taking the key out of your purse. I miss that little gizmo (but not really the car) like crazy.

  5. For the most part, I could duplicate you list and call it mine!!

    As you know, I totally miss my Keurig, as this baby o' mine has decided not to like coffee.....only a few more weeks!!

    And I'm with you on the camera. Once you find a great one, you take it with you everywhere you go!!

    Have a wonderful week my friend. I will miss seeing you this weekend...but at least I get your sweet girl!

  10. Ooh, the Keurig! I SO want one too! I could probably make good use of a back-up camera too. Better to be safe than sorry.

  15. Your #4 is hilarious! I love it!

    I'm so glad Mondays are one of your favorites! I'm flattered!

    I also am super jealous of your #8, the backup camera. That would for sure come in handy! I so expected to see a number with shoes on it!

  16. What a great list! I would love a backup camera on my car...great invention! My hair stylist said Chi is the best! I couldn't remember the name brand when I bought mine...it's not a Chi though!

    I'm not sure I'm interested in having my breast curled...but a lift and a less would be nice.

    Have a blessed day!
