Playoff Predictions: Round 1

Ok I know I am a little late with my predictions since the games have already started this weekend but that's ok. I wanted to put in my 2 cents before the games progressed so you didn't think I was cheating. Here it goes:

Western Conference:
LA Lakers over Utah
Denver over New Orleans
Dallas over San Antonio
Portland over Houston

Eastern Conference:
Cleveland over Detroit
Boston over Chicago
Orlando over Philadelphia
Miami over Atlanta

Let's hope I am right!!!

I hope JJ Redick gets to play a lot in the playoffs. He is pure talent, the NBA just hasn't seen it yet! Check out that triple threat:

Random things that are worthy of posting.

Favorite Quotes this week:
While watching The Hills with my sister:
"If Brody and Audrina had kids they would look like brother and sister." (Brandi)
"Uhhh...what?" (Me)

Tiffani's input on my new diamond earrings:
"Look at Traci's earrings, she thinks she's in the NBA."

My little sister's response when I told her I was watching The Real Housewives of New York:
"Is that the show where a bunch of ladies marry rich guys just because they have a lot of money, that way they can buy whatever they want."

Not a quote from this week but still funny:
"I think I am going to cut myself early from work so I can make it to my Dr.'s appointment." (Me)
"Why are you Mexicans always talking about cutting people?" (Tiffani)
"Why are you white people always stereotyping Mexicans?" (Me)

The End.

Happy Easter!

He is risen. God is good!

Spring Has Sprung!

Top 5 Reasons Why I Love Spring:

5. Daylight Savings Time. While it might be hard to adjust at first, I really enjoy the fact that it does not get dark until after 8PM.
4. Floral print sundresses with cardigans and sandals!
3. The perfect 75 degree weather is absolutely heavenly!
2. Green grass. Wild flowers. Clouds in the sky. Lilies. Bluebonnets.
1. Easter! The day of our Savior's resurrection!

My outdoor blogging office! Haha :)

Current Faves:

If you are a mascara addict like myself, you have to try Maybelline's Lash Stiletto. This mascara makes your eyelashes look amazing, doesn't clump and the small wand takes care of those hard to reach lashes. Two thumbs up!

I am also addicted to Style Networks: Running In Heels. The TV show is centered around three girls who are interning for Marie Claire magazine. Love it!

Happy April Fools Day!

Have you been the victim of an unexpected prank today? I sure hope so...because let's be honest, it's funny! I only got pranked 3 times today, no biggie. I did however prank a couple of customers at Starbucks this morning. It all began with careful plotting beginning at 5AM. It is very wise to chose your victims carefully when water as hot as 200 degrees is involved. Whenever a "regular" would order a cup of brewed coffee I would just give them a cup of hot water. I enjoyed watching them walk over to the condiment bar to "tweak" their coffee only to discover it is just a cup of hot water. Everyone was a good sport about it and we all had a good laugh, I love my customers! :) Praise the Lord for no customer retaliation.

Ridin' Dirty? Not quite.

I bought a new car yesterday, my first CAR. I hate to admit it but I am usually an SUV snob. For the longest time I refused to drive anything other than an SUV. After I totaled my new SUV only 3 moths after I got it, I did not have much of a choice other than to purchase something that was a little more financially friendly. I do like this car, it is smaller than the other things I am used to but it is growing on me. It is eco-friendly, gas efficient and leaves enough money in my budget for those unexpected shopping sprees. I think I found a winner. Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure:
