I’M BACK! 
:D
So, earlier today, I felt awful and wasn’t going to open IBE yet but I WANT to start the giveaway. Lol. & Simone tagged me in a post so I am going to answer her questions & tag anyone who wants to answer it. I’m not posting the rules either. 
1. Have you ever been in love?
I feel that I am in love with my boyfriend right at this very moment. <3
2. Do you and you mom have the ideal mother/daughter relationship?
I believe I do. 
3. What’s your biggest fear?
It’s a tie between spiders, heights and roller coasters.
4. Have you ever felt invisible?
Sometimes…& I hate it but I think I’ve gotten used to it recently.
5. What’s your least favorite chore?
Cleaning the bathroom floor.
6. Long nails or short nails?
SHORT! I hate long nails.
7. Do you prefer late nights or early mornings?
Late nights, def!
8. Have you ever been ashamed of someone?
Yes, I am ashamed of my sisters…& I’m being serious. They are both so stuck up… :/
9. Do you prefer texting or talking?
Depends on who I am texting/talking to.
10. What are the contents of your purse?
Hairties…literally, I don’t use my purse at all so that is what is in it. 
11. Are you good with managing time and money?
HELL NO! I spend instead of save.
So, recently my cat hurt her hip…or at least we believe it is her hip. My sister noticed it yesterday before anyone else…and she put her on the hardwood floor we have in the dining room/kitchen and she tried her best to walk back to someplace comfy and she was limping. My mom and dad were feeling her, my dad thought it was her paw so he felt that and he said that she flinched when you tried to straighten her pinky toe on her right back foot. But then my mom felt her back and almost got attacked when she touched Isabell’s hip right by her backbone. So, my mom believes that her hip is out of place. I just feel so awful because it could have been my dog that hurt her by accident or she could have done it on her own…I don’t like it when our animals aren’t happy.
Like we are paying so much attention to our cat that our dog is getting jealous. I could tell the minute she started feeling that way and I don’t like it when Tessie is jealous… :/ Makes me feel bad…So I am going to take her for a walk with me today, I need to go on one anyway.
On another note, I need to get Dante to realize that his diet is not okay. I’m not sure how to do that other than yelling (because that’s all my dad does, and I am EXACTLY like him & i hate it, I’d rather be like my mom she is so nice….) So I was wondering if anyone else knew a way I could get through to him that he is gaining too much weight and I don’t like it…I have tried to tell him that straight up…I’ll give you an example of why I think it is awful…
Dante bought 1 thing of mini-cupcakes1 from his workplace, Winn-Dixie2. By the time I came over to his house AND realized he had cupcakes3 he only had one4 left. I don’t know if he threw it away after eating the last one or if he didn’t eat it and just tossed it with one left. If I know him well enough, he would have eaten the last one then threw it away.
Anyway, he ate all of those cupcakes within 1 week. I know this because I see him at least once a week5 but when I saw him the week before he didn’t have the cupcakes. He purposely didn’t tell me because he knew I would want one and he didn’t want to give me one.
He also doesn’t drink any water at all, at least never when I see him. He always drinks tea…sometimes he drinks soda6 but it’s always either tea7 or Moutain Dew, Sprite, or things like that. Never water or milk or orange juice.
I guess I am just really worried about his appetite. I mean, I’m not saying that I have a better one than his but I know mine is bad, he doesn’t realize that his is getting worse than mine because I am trying to fix my appetite by eating more yogurt, fruit, and eating 3 meals instead of 2 or 1 a day. That’s the difference between his appetite and mine, I know I have an issue with mine, he doesn’t. I am just trying to make him realize that he does have an issue with it…as long as he knows I will be happy.
I say that because he always says “i know, I know” like a teenager trying to shut their mom up whenever I try to tell him his appetite is bad…Ugh…Can anyone help me?
I have officially moved the giveaway to a new page.
- It probably contained about 20 mini-cupcakes inside of this plastic container ↩
- a grocery store, if you aren’t familiar ↩
- I do not believe he told anyone about the cupcakes but I do not know that for sure ↩
- He says that he had two but I only saw one when I looked and I know my cupcakes…lol ↩
- sometimes it is every week and a half but this time I know I saw him the week before ↩
- if he decides that he has enough money to buy it from work…another thing I don’t like because then he tells me that he doesn’t have enough money to go bowling or see a movie…which is bull shit because he purchases a whole bunch of games and shit when he claims he doesn’t have enough money…sucks but that is for another day ↩
- not green tea, never the healthy tea for you, it’s always like sweet tea or something like that…the tea that looks brown…XD idk. what kind but yeah ↩
Hi Erin! (:
Well first of all as I stated on Twitter, I have joined your contest and e-mailed you about the Christmas card. (: I also really like this layout. Cute winter layout you got going here!
I am somewhat like you — I prefer short nails and I prefer late nights. It is the waking up part that is a killer to me. I hate waking up to be honest. Plus my mom expects me to get up early which doesn’t help any either, so yeah.
As for Dante, I don’t know what to tell you. I would flat out tell him how you feel and if he doesn’t want to change, then that is his problem. I understand you two are together, but he probably looks at your eating habits and thinks “Well compared to how she eats, I am not eating that badly.” Even if it isn’t true, you know? I honestly would just be honest and flat out with him. He has to do it for himself. He has to decide he wants to be healthy, you know? You can’t decide that for him. Maybe try being healthy yourself and maybe he will have a change of heart? I don’t know.
Good luck with that and the contest!
Roller coasters is like the best fear ever!! It’s soo scary to get on but you just wanna do it over and over and over lol.
Okay that’s really not healthy. I think you may have to tell him, but don’t yell just talk to him about it. Being a boy he will of course get mad but he needs to hear it before it gets worse, but don’t yell thought because it will cause a fight.
They haven’t lol I like aliens from a different planet.
Joining the contest!! I am soo excited, I hope i win something and i hope it’s not hosting.
I have no idea, I updated like 5 plugins when i came back and it has to be one of them lol. I tested it and it works!!
Thanks, the bg was actually like 2 different bgs put together.
I’m sorry for your cat.
That’s awful. Are you going to take her to the vet? I would. You don’t want something that can be fixed to turn into a permanent injury.
Well, honestly, I wouldn’t worry about Dante’s eating habits. I’ve eaten more cupcakes then that in a day. <.< Its not that bad unless he's doing it all of the time. And tea is healthy for you. I don't drink water, its nasty! I mean, all of the soda and stuff isn't healthy, but tea is. Honestly, I think you're over reacting a little bit (based on what little bit you said in your blog).
Seriously, the more you bug him about it though, the less he's going to want to do about it.
Don't worry about it so much. Believe me, if there really is a problem, he'll see it in time. I agree with Ashley's comment on this issue though. She's definitely got the right idea.
And good luck with the contest! You've seriously got some awesome prizes up for grabs!
I really hope your cat will feel better soon! You guys should take her to the vet if she doesn’t seem to get better soon. Even if she’s afraid of the vet or something, it will be a lot better if you take her there than if you don’t!
Has Dante experienced any visible weight gain? If not, maybe once he does he will realize how bad his habits are and start trying to fix them. Then again, my friend Jimmy jokes about how he got fatter, but then he continues to drink Mountain Dew and stuff. Guys… =/
I’m going to answer the tag questions now, if that’s alright!
1. Have you ever been in love?
Yep! Jimmy.
2. Do you and you mom have the ideal mother/daughter relationship?
We used to have a really bad relationship. It’s a lot better now, but I wouldn’t say it’s ideal.
3. What’s your biggest fear?
I’m not really afraid of anything.
4. Have you ever felt invisible?
Yeah, kind of.
5. What’s your least favorite chore?
Dusting and/or vacuuming.
6. Long nails or short nails?
Short!
7. Do you prefer late nights or early mornings?
I really like both and I wish I could have both without feeling tired as fuck.
8. Have you ever been ashamed of someone?
I’m pretty much constantly ashamed of my dad. :/
9. Do you prefer texting or talking?
Texting tends to be more convenient, I guess.
It depends.
10. What are the contents of your purse?
Hm… camera, wallet, iPod, phone, gum, lip balm, etc.
11. Are you good with managing time and money?
Yes, but I don’t usually put it into practice.
Oh no poor cat!!! Now I wanna cry T_T take her to the vet ASAP! Before it’s too late, you know. I’m kinda glad I only have one pet because it would be really hard to give all your love to them all especially during busy times.
Hmm well I’d just yell at Dante if he’s eating too much junk food. Or confiscate? That would be hard to do when you don’t live together though. I dunno I never been in this place so I’m imagining things haha.
Ahhh I’d love to enter this contest … so tempting. But unfortunately I don’t have the time …

Hi Erin!!! how are you? remember me??? I loved your layout!!! I’ll comment more l8r!
Hm…I suppose that you could encourage him to drink more tea, at least the main ingredient is water.
I honestly don’t know what else to tell you…just encourage him to eat healthy by doing the same yourself.
Poor Kitty! I hope that she starts feeling better real soon. It seems that limping animals is becoming contagious…my poor dog Colby has been limping off and on for the past couple of days.
If you are still doing Christmas cards, I’d love to receive one.

I just want to start this out by saying how really awesome I think it is that you’re holding SUCH a big contest, especially around Christmas/for the new year! That’s always the time when people are remodeling anyway and some of these prizes are absolutely incredible. Good for you for ‘paying it forward’ and doing something nice for others!
I think I’ll join the contest and I think I’d like a card, if you don’t have too many to do already! I don’t want to swamp you or anything! 
I’ll e-mail you in the morning with my details! <3 Thank you again for this contest!
Secondly, I couldn't help reading your answers and I'm so glad I'm not the only one with a good mother/daughter relationship. I think tv (okay, REALITY tv) has conditioned me to think that most mother/daughter relationships are terrible these days. It's refreshing to see someone else with a good one!
As for Dante, I would gently tell him that you're concerned. Tea is actually quite good for you (even black tea which is what I suspect he's drinking because I drink it occasionally!), but not so much the Mt. Dew. I used to drink a LOT of caffeine/pops and since I weaned myself off of them (very slowly and it was a process; non-caffeinated, to ginger ale, then lemonade, and now just juice and water!). I'm sure he'll understand your concern, as long as you approach him with love and genuine concern.
Hey!
Ya 7daychallenge.us had some probs b4 but now it’s gr8…hehe…btw what is this giveaway competition??
Hey! I’m good!
I wanted to reply to your comment yesterday itself….but I had 4 papers due for today in college!! so here I am…replying right now!!! Even i think Taylor Swift is awesome!! I really like almost all of her songs…which are your other favourite singers??
Hey Erin you’ve been Tagged :http://everlasting.7daychallenge.us/
I have joined your contest! So far I have tweeted, and followed those Twitter accounts. I have yet to e-mail you about the cards though. And I shall blog about this shortly. Oh, there are so many ways to enter this contest! I find it quite cool actually. I love Rafflecopter.
That sucks about your cat. I don’t know how to behave around animals or how take care of them. I’ve always wanted a pet but if I was in your situation, I’d freak out. I hear cats are so moody so if they’re hurt they must ten times more moody. I hope you find out what’s ailing her and that your dog will become unjealous.
Although Dante’s eating habits do sound bad, I wouldn’t worry too much about the cupcakes. I can probably finish 10 cupcakes in day, haha. Although I scoop out the icing because it’s too sweet for me. He should drink water though! I mean, I hate water but I drink it anyway because water is absolutely essential. Hasn’t he ever listened in science/bio/chemistry class? There are so many bodily processes that need water! Hope you set him straight! Maybe you can make a point of changing your eating habits together.
That’s weird because i could see the vid but oh well lol. Anyways hows life going for you?
It’s good that you care about Dante but don’t be too forceful when you discuss the issue. It really is a sensitive issue and I’m sure other people have given you advice already. Just discuss it openly. You said yourself that maybe your diet isn’t that good. Maybe you can both work on it together. You could bring it up with him that you’re going to cut out some junk food and ask him if he’d like to help you by doing the same and maybe it would help you with one of your closest friends (him!) surrounding you with positivity by doing the same. That way you don’t directly have to tell him, but you can just tell him what a good idea it’ll be to eat healthy.
I’m sorry about your cat. I hope she gets sorted out soon. I don’t have any pets but I’m not really a fan of cats. I have friends who love cats and they’re quite cute when young as kittens but as they get older I don’t think they’re that cute anymore.
I don’t mind long nails, but since I play guitar and piano I should keep them short. They get in the way of typing too sometimes.
I wish I had a relationship like you and your mum. My mum and I don’t have that great a relationship but I hope it improves.
Anyway good luck with the diet. Remember that if you are unsure about how Dante will react then what can you do but ask? Maybe just avoid buying sweets and chocolate together or giving any to him, and when you go on dates choose the healthier options.

Erm actually I like to have long nails but short nails are more comfortable for me!
Anyway thank you for hosting such great contest. Good luck! I am joining it. I hope I will be able to win something too! ^^
In my opinion, you are not a nutritional expert and/or someone who knows much about nutrition. It’s okay to worry, but to say he has an issue with it is a completely different thing, Honestly, I don’t see anything wrong with it.
However, I do know for sure that guys dislike it when their girlfriends are super bossy and/or acting like they think they know everything. Just because you want to eat healthy doesn’t mean that he wants to eat healthy. Telling a guy what NOT to eat when you’re merely boyfriend/girlfriend is never the answer. It makes them feel like you’re getting onto them. If they wanted to date their mother, then they would stay home all day long and suck up and kiss up and whatnot. Getting onto them for what they’re eating/how they’re eating is just a huge NO, and usually only the bossy/bitchy girlfriends do that. Guys are guys. They eat junk food all of the time, and they don’t want to be told they can’t. Unless they’re overweight and wanting to change that scenario, they don’t care what you think.
I hate to sound rude or something like that, but you sound like one of the bitchy/whiny/etc. girlfriends my guy friends are always complaining about (as well as the people at work), and I don’t understand why he hasn’t dumped you yet.
we had things in common
I really hate spiders too! so much! I easily freak out seeing spiders! My heart pumps so fast every time i see one. eeeesh! haha!
