~Tunes for your Tuesday . . . and V-day love!~

I'm sure you all are tired of hearing about Valentine's . . . so if so . . . move on to another blog!
Hee hee
Soooo I don't know about all of your hubbies/significant others and gift giving . . .
BUT mine can't keep a surprise or secret for the life of him!
He's as sweet as can be, and is an excellent gift giver . . .
but secrets are ALWAYS ruined, every time!

Some examples:
1) Our first vacation, (London Paris Rome for Valentine's Day before we even got engaged) . . . He told me about Paris and London, the 3rd destination was going to be a surprise (Rome), BUT on a phone convo he let it slip without even realizing it.
2) I got ALL of my Christmas gifts before Christmas . . . pretty much every year we've been together!

It's kinda cute b/c he's soooo excited . . . he can't wait to tell me. 
A girl loves some surprises once in a while though right?!

Lol so this Valentine's I know where our "surprise" dinner is, and part of my gift . . .
Tickets to one of our fave artists . . .

Ellie Goulding!

Soooo excited!

Speaking of Valentine's: ALSO we are doing a Secret Valentine at work . . . I came back from lunch and saw  . . .

A sweet surprise . . . yayyy me!

And I'm excited to receive my 2 Valentine's Day Swap gifts!!!

Ok enough for today . . .

Just curious, are your men good at gift giving? Can they surprise you?

Happy Tuesday loves!

~Tunes for your Tuesday . . Keaton Simons Style~

Anyone out there watch Celebrity Rehab???

Ok a small guilty pleasure of ours . . . it has drama . . . and more drama . . .
BUT in the end it really ends up changing lives, and working through the problems to a better place:-)

Anyway this year Eric Roberts was on the show . . .
and that's how we heard this song by his step-son. 
Which I wanted to share with you b/c it's a really good song!



Sounds pretty good, right?!

On a weird similar note (I didn't plan this! Lol)
is to go a month without a single alcoholic beverage.
Easy!

Now don't get me wrong, I am not by any means a heavy drinker, nor is it a problem.
I do have maybe 1-3 drinks a week, depending on the social plans:-)
So a social drinker.

(via weheartit)

(Last Sat I had 3 in one night, but they were soooo good)
So yup, just a little goal to stick to and cleanse my body of the toxins from alcohol.
I know I'll still be my fun Tammy-like self, even if everyone else is drinking.

(Some think I am intoxicated even when I haven't had any at all, silly me!)

Wish me luck! Lol

Are there any random goals you have?

I wish you all a lovely Tuesday full of fun randomness!
Do something silly and fun today to make others laugh, just do it!

Happy Tuesday to you all!!!

~Tunes for your Tuesday . . . Dave Matthews Band!~

Happy Tuesday to you!



I so love this song. 

When my hubby and I first started dating he would play this song for me . . . and we put it on our wedding dvd a year later:-) It has a special place in my heart. 
The words are so cute.

I know not everyone is a Dave fan, but we like his music:-)

So much . . . in fact that tonight we are going to see him with

From an article on the benefit concert:
"Musician Dave Matthews is testing a new idea in Seattle that he hopes will inspire more giving across the country.



In unique partnership with the website JustGive, Matthews is letting fans direct the proceeds of two upcoming Seattle shows to the charities of their choice. Every ticket is matched with an equal donation to philanthropy.


"The point is the act of giving and making the process available," he said in an interview. "I think it may make people feel a certain amount of power to see the ease of how you can give."


For each ticket sold, the buyer will receive a credit back for the full $150 ticket and handling price to apply to any of the 1.5 million charities in JustGive's database.


Matthews, who has performed benefits for causes ranging from Hurricane Katrina and Haiti earthquake relief, family farmers and Tibet, estimates the events will raise a million dollars over two nights."

What a fabulous concept right?! Sold out!

Yup each ticket ($150) goes completely to a charity of your choice.

Since my hubby was so sweet during all the craziness of my big holiday show in Oct, I am taking him! Dave Matthews Band is his fave.

We both decided after everything with adopting LuLu and her sad story . . . we wanted to donate our $300 to the Oregon Dog Rescue.  To pay them back for what they did for us. They saved our little princess


 and brought her to us.  We ADORE her, and I just saw a bumper sticker that totally describes the situation:

I think she adds more to our life than we do to hers:-)

Soooooo excited!

In the meantime I am relaxing (ok for at least 20 mins lol).
With working full time, blogging, and my Etsy shop, a social life, a hubby, 3 dogs and a huge family life can get nuts. 
I probably "work" like 60 or more hours a week . . . craziness!

So I thought I deserved a
little indulgence

A trip to Nordies for some MAC!
and a lil trip to Belle Pastry . . . mmmmm for the best caramel latte I've ever had, along with a creme brulee
Ok resting time is up!

Time to list some new items in the shop, and get ready for Dave Matthews Benefit Concert!

Happy Tuesday to you all, and
remember to find some way to give back this holiday season!
