5

1. If you could buy any car, money not an option, what would it be?

I want this:

What??? It's TOTALLY ME!

2. What was your worst first date ever?

"Meet me at the health department. I have to get a physical."

I *so* wish I was kidding...

3. How old were you when you fell in love for the first time?

Who knows - I was "in love" a LOT.

4. When was the last time you reconciled your checkbook?

Never... My checkbook and I have an irreparable relationship. It says I have no money - I disagree! (It's right...)

5. If you were going to fashion a "Wanted" Ad for a best friend, how would you word it?

"WANTED: Sugar Daddy. Must like hockey.":D

Well folks it's getting to the end of the month and the end of my free sponsor promos! So this will be my last sponsorship post (for now at least). I'd like to introduce you to the rest of my leading ladies!

I'd like to start by introducing you to my favorite hockey wives!

Meet Tex!

(I'm not so sure she appreciates me calling her Tex, but it just kinda happened that way :)

This is a blog that you do NOT want to miss. From lessons in German curse words to the Storyteller's Blog Hop - you won't want to miss a single post! Take a few moments to read over her About Me page. Her wedding story is phenomenal!

This is Kimmy!

(another nickname :)

Kimmy isn't "officially" a hockey wife yet - but the wedding will be here before you know it! I have gotten a lot of inspiration from Kimmy and her blog - Travel Babbles - in the short amount of time I've "known" her. She challenges me, inspires me and keeps me laughing.

This is Hockey Wife's blog (no nickname there really - she's an anonymous blogger... shhhh :)

A blogger I met online - and now call "friend". This woman is amazing! If you've ever wondered what life married to a professional athlete is like - grab a cup of coffee and cuddle up with your laptop on the couch - A Day In The Life of a Hockey Wife brings you the ups, downs and everything in between! My favorite is reading about the never-ending adventures of Linden, her hockey crazed son!

Next up: My Bestie!

Another hockey blogger - and my best friend! Her hockey insight is definitely top notch - check her out!

Last - but in no way least - we have CoyotesHipCheck!

Another of my best friends - she is better known in our little circle as Mama Z. Her blog is full of great information about the Phoenix Coyotes and the ups and downs of being a Coyotes fan in this lovely "non-traditional hockey market" of ours.

I hope you'll take a moment to check these blogs out - all of them are fabulous!

Happy Friday little monsters!

Friday Music For The Morning: I'm Feelin' Sappy.

As you may be able to tell from my recent Music For The Morning posts - I have been feeling exceptionally sappy as of late - which is quite uncharacteristic of me. I may have to try this darn dating thing again here soon...

*sigh*

I blame it on the entire country music industry. Of which I of course LOVE.

Here's some of the recent sappy culprits that have gotten to me...

WELCOME TO FRIDAY!!!

Music For The Morning

This song gets me every. single. time.

{semi} wordless wednesday

I'm obsessed with plans of redecorating my bedroom. Right now I'm really loving the idea of a black bedroom - black walls, with some white contrasts and red as well. I'm doing a Marilyn Monroe theme - are you surprised? :) So far, I don't have much done except my picture and wall cling (is that what you call those things...???) which I will likely have to remove anyway to repaint the walls black! But I love the picture... and I will perhaps put the quote up on the wall in white instead of black - once the walls are painted.
Here's what I have now...

I want to get a platform bed and paint the walls like this:

{cred}

I love the chandelier over the bed concept - but I'd prefer to have a bed like this, in black:

{cred}

So what do you think of black bedroom walls? Too much?

Music For The Morning

I was sick all day yesterday - still not feeling quite up to par...
But back to work today I go! Hopefully without any stomach issues...
Enjoy the music folks, I hope you have a Wonderful Wednesday!

Tuesday Madness!

Welcome to Tuesday my little Monsters!!!

Life with the Dietrich's

Theme: Random

Do you get nervous before going to a doctors appointment?

No - I don't really get nervous - I get anxious. Not about the actual doctor's appointment though. I'm a bit of a germa-phobe. I sit in the waiting room freaking out about what kind of germs the person who sat in my chair before me might have had... Or freak out about the person next to me who is sneezing and coughing all over the place. I hate doctor's offices....

Do you have a favorite piece of jewelry?

My starfish necklace!

What type of songs do you sing in the shower?

I'm not a shower singer - on the random occasion that I do feel like singing in the shower, it's typically a Sugarland song. "Stay" is a favorite.

When you were younger, did you ever have cartoon sheets?

Heck yah! Probably just about every cartoon sheets available! Care Bears and Rainbow Brite were my fav though!

Do you care about the William and Kate wedding?

Not particularly... though I bet if I did actually watch it I'd cry. LOL

How many TV's are in your house?

Now for some tunes to start your day...
