Ha, possibly the funniest/most relatable thing I've read in months.
Life in your early 20s v. life in your late 20s (pros and cons!)
Hilarious, if you are in your twenties like me, and can't make it to the late movie or get a tummy ache if you eat too much junk food or need to sit down after one glass of wine at dinner, you can relate. But late 20s has some perks -- a little more confidence, some maturity, etc.

Facebook Rules.
I am going to post on missions soon, I promise. My internet has been out at home so any post I do is quick and done at work (where blogger won't seem to let me upload pictures) We now have our internet set up, so look for a couple good posts coming up :)
Today, I am honoring a request from Kayla to create some facebook ettiquite rules since I did a brief post a couple years ago...And keep in mind that I have broken some of these myself! And, I am sure everyones fb rules would be different BUT THESE ARE THE RULES I WOULD SUGGEST.
1. Passive Aggressive statuses. Just don't do them. Usually you post a status like this because everyone will know who you are referring to (even without saying a name). Or, at very least, the person you are referring to will no. You are old enough to just address this problem in person or over the phone. No need to publically (although you claim, not so publically) call them out. This method backfires and reflects worse on you than it does on them! Also passive aggressive moves like this don't actually make the other person sorry, just annoyed.
2. I love my BF/My husband is amazing posts. I'll give a little grace here. The occassional "look at the flowers hubby brought home" or "I love my fiance so much! One week til we are married" posts are fine. But, you all know what I am talking about...some people want to tell you how in love they are every day. It's annoying and actually makes me question how legit your relationship is if you feel the constant need to announce your feelings publically. Are you trying to convince me of your commitment and love? or are you trying to convince your significant other and possibly yourself?
3. Workout statuses/food statues. I'll admit, I occasionally do this one. (guilty) If I run a half marathon or something, I'll post about it. But, I certainly don't tell everyone about my daily workouts and diet habits. My sister and I get so cracked up about this.
4. The "inspirational" status. I love when people put a good quote that encourages me. I may even like it or comment, but when you write a status thats all philosophical (yet not really) and is your own words, I just laugh usually. I suppose this could be done well if you are elequent, but I've only seen it done in a way that you could tell the person thought they were being deep but no one else felt the same.
5. EXCESSIVE Wedding statuses. I'll give some grace here. A countdown the month before your wedding, a few exciting updates like "mailed the invites!" etc, are fun. But, I have friends who update you with every vender they book and have counted down for 18 months. It's a little ridiculous. MODERATION is key folks.
6. Centimeters Dialated. There is absolutely NO REASON to post this on facebook. You can text your friends your birthing progress, but on facebook, all you have to say is "at the hospital, making progress, baby should be here soon." I know birth is natural, but its like mamma to bes forget that they are talking about their lady parts. It's just a little too detailed for 1200 friends to see.
7. Wedding picture profile pics. I love seeing peoples wedding pics on facebook...but there's a timeline. Did you get married 7 years ago, gain 30 pounds and have 2 kids? Thats not what you look like anymore. Post a wedding pic for your anniversary, etc, but all the time is unncessary.
8. What do I do about my kids diarrhea? statues. Sometimes, young moms ask very personal things about their children in facebook statuses....I'm sure other people ask personal things in statuses too, I just usually only notice the moms because its almost always about poop or booty rashes. Totally a question that young moms probably need to ask. Therefore, text your friends, send an email, but discussion on facebook, not necessary.
9. Ask me whats wrong statuses. Y'all know what I am talking about....someone posts a status saying "life sucks, I just can't trust anyone." This is inviting the question: what's wrong? are you ok? The response is either annoyance that you asked and being informed that its private info for a select few OR its spilling their guts in a followup comment.
10. Angry Rants. Sometimes people just rant. They aren't passive aggresive about it or secretive so you will ask whats wrong, they just put it out there. Not only will you possibly regret this when you calm down, if its about children or divorce (this is often where I see these rants occuring), as a lawyer, I will tell you things written on the internet that can be printed certainly won't help your case (although they won't always hurt it)
11. Posting every single story about your child. I LOVE children stories. If its funny, I will likely comment and laugh really hard at my desk. BUT if you tell me everytime your child drinks milk, I will roll my eyes. Sometimes kids are HILARIOUS. Sometimes they just are doing normal things which MAY be adorable to you, but normal to the rest of us.
12. Telling me how many days/weeks/seconds you've been married. This is cute when you say "1 month of marriage" or "6 months of marriage' or "2 years of marriage" but when you tell me you've been married for 17 weeks or 27 months or 14 months 2 weeks 3 days, you're being a little over the top.
13. Negative Nancy statuses. Everyone has a "whew, this has been a hard week, glad its over" post...but when everything in your life sucks and you tell me constantly, I start to believe that the only thing that sucks is your attitude.
14. POINTLESS statuses. You went to Kroger? really. congrats.
15. Overly detailed statues. You went to Kroger, played Tennis, watched a movie, cleaned your room and ironed your clothes?? congrats again. (I know I've been guilty of this oops)
16. SPOILERS. Don't tell me who won the female gymnastics all around meet at the Olympics. Please.

Reeses Pieces Peanut Butter Brownies and more
Several people in my life LOVE reeses pieces including my sister and my BF. I have been recently researching recipes involving this candy. My latest recipe is reeses brownies!
Don't they look delicious?? My next goal is to learn to make them gluten free for my baby sis, Ansley.
Here is how you make them:
Ingredients:
1.Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 13 x 9″ baking pan with shortening or cooking spray.
2.Make brownie batter as directed on box. Spread batter in pan and with a knife, swirl peanut butter through batter.
3.Bake 25-28 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool completely.
4.In a medium bowl, mix frosting ingredients and spread frosting over brownies. Place Reese’s Pieces in a plastic Ziploc bag and lightly crush with a rolling pin, breaking candies up into pieces. (NOTE: I just poured my reeses on the top in whole pieces.)
5.Sprinkle Reese’s Pieces over brownies and serve.
Second order of business today: I saw this on a friends facebook and want to start doing this every day. I work out most days, even if its only 20-30 minutes during lunch, but usually for longer. However, there are those occasional days when life is hectic and I don't go. This would be a perfect mini workout at home...I bet it is about 15 minutes total.
Also, I love this funny picture I saw on facebook. SO true!! Right Ashley???

"The other day I had a vision of the man I am going to marry and he wasn't you."
"She has a real Jezabel spirit"
"Wheres my Boaz?"
"Back off Philistine!"
"At this point, I don't even want a David, just give me one of his mighty men!!"

What would you choose?
I'll continue with my blog challenge next week. I've been busy this week and sick and am taking my favorite youngest sister and a girl from my youth group to Auburn this weekend for the game and to tour the campus. I am so ready to be back on the plains!
However, a picture for your enjoyment...a girl after my own heart. Insert the words "Auburn National Championship Tickets" for "World Series Tickets" and this would have been me.
My motto has always been: men have let me down and leave, but Auburn football (although sometimes dissapointed) has always been there. Sounds like this lady knows that as well :)
And, I think it would be a safe bet to say he still proposes sometime soon. If he didn't already love her, the fact that she values sports so much probably won him over!
Not a huge baseball fan, not in the same way I love college football, BUT it must be said, Go Cardinals!!
