Why I Love This Week!

Before I let you know what I am looking forward to this next week, I think I will share a few things from this last week...

It heated up around here and it was beautiful! Our heat is turned off and our windows are now open, which I love. I drove to Cave City to meet my friend Mel for dinner, and my oil light came on when I got there. After dinner I went to the gas station to check my oil, and I figured I would need to put 2 quarts in (ps. we have an old van wit lots of miles on it, so it burns & leaks oil like crazy). Well to make a longer story short- my van must have been BONE DRY. I had to put 4 quarts in... it only holds 4 & 1/2 quarts total! In the midst of this, my sister's school's Principle came by and decided I was a little girl who needed saving too. Interesting night. I also discovered this week that I should not host Pampered Chef parties, as I attempted to do on Saturday. I invited about 30-40 people total. Guess how many people came? 2. Yeah you read that right, 2! But we had fun nonetheless! (Thanks for coming Sarah!) Apparently I should only have catalog shows because I have plenty of orders, just no one wants to come hang out with me! Hehe! And Mr.Pate has dug up my entire back yard practically. Yep that about sums up my week... so on to what I am looking forward to this week.

• Spring weather! Grilling out, windows open, no jackets, and flip flops! 
• Hanging out with a friend before she and her husband head off to be missionaries! Wow! 
• I am running in my 3rd 5k this Sunday... I know, I am crazy. I let Becky talk me into it again, and now I have pulled the Pate boys in too! Haha! 
• Reading in my hammock! I did this today and it was wonderful. I am almost done with a book- yay for progress. 
• Date night Friday night!

What do you have going on this week??

And the winner is...

And the Winner of "Name that Movie Friday" is...

No One! :(  But good try Mel!

The movie was "Bewitched"! I love Will Ferrell in that movie. Hope you are having a blessed Easter Sunday!

He Has Risen- He has Risen INDEED my friends! I am celebrating that today, and everyday, that my Savior always lived to intercede for me!

Name That Movie Friday!

Welcome to "Name That Movie Friday"! 

I have so many movies I could watch over and over again (or have watched over and over again)! So I have decided Fridays around Patelife will be a day for me to quiz you on lines from some of my fav movies. Are you up for the challenge?? Of course you will win nothing but my praise and excitement that you know lines from great movies (in my humble opinion), because i am not one of those super popular bloggers who get prizes given to them. Sorry for your luck!

Now- Name That Movie! 

Fab 5 Friday!

I am joining in with Emily again and identifying 5 tangible things that made my life just a little more fabulous this week. 

1. Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning. Love it! It makes anything yummier. And now they are selling it in this jar, so instead of using several little packets a month I can save money and make this baby stretch awhile. Yay. 

   

2. My Planner! I have a notebook sized one from Target that has cute green, white and black decor inside. As I have mentioned before, I start each work day in my planner. I live by this thing. 

3. This new shirt. I got it at Plato's Closet for $2, its originally from Charlotte Rousse. It is colorful and flowy and makes me feel like Spring! Yay! 

4. The Arc Trainer, by Cybex. Can you tell I work in a gym?? I love this thing. You burn more calories than any other cardio machine and its not painful! Plus this thing has a fan on it, so while I am sweating to death I can get a nice breeze on me. Its my machine of choice right now. 

5. My Teva sandals! These are my favorite pair of shoes from April till October every year. I have the black ones, and I wear those suckers out. Zoey also likes to chew on them, so if you ever see me you should look at how bad mine look! Ha! 

What made your life more fabulous this week??

It must be in the water...

I seriously know 20+ people who are either: 

a. pregnant

or

b. new parents 

Every time I log into Facebook another person pops up preggers. Its like there is something in the water in America. Yep America... because so far all of these people I know are in the States... do any of my dear friends living in another country need to tell me something?? Anyhow, I am super excited for all of these people and it really is a benefit to me to have so many people to learn from, but I have to ask...

Am I the only one who feels like everyone is having a baby or has a baby??
