Day 18: The meaning behind my blog name

I've had two blogs, the first one was Lil' Bit of Sunshine, but I got tired of the name and had some followers that I didn't want to follow me so I changed it to A Dab of Abby. When I was in elementary school, a few teachers and one certain secretary used to call me Dabby Abby. They called me this all the way until high school and I'm sure if I saw them today, they would still call me that. So when I was looking for a blog name, I decided on A Dab of Abby to go with Dabby Abby but also because my blog is just a dab of me. Little bits of me here and there!

Guess what?!

Stay tuned for details!

We are...or maybe it's just me...so so so so EXCITED!

Day 17: My proudest moment

Being able to call these two beauties my nieces makes me pretty dang proud!

Day 16: Top of my bucket list

There are three things that are at the top of my bucket list. I don't care what order they happen in, I just want to make sure I do these three things before I die.

1. Pay off my debt
2. Visit New York
3. Go back to school/become a teacher

What's on your bucket list?

Day 15: Timeline of my day

I really don't have a set schedule making a timeline of my day hard to write. Everyday is different and I probably never do the something at the same time everyday.

So, I'll do roundabout times with things I try to do almost everyday.

Unless I work really early, I normally wake up anywhere from 8:30-10am so...

8:30-10am - Wake up! I normally check my phone, read emails, text or call people back while lying in bed.

10-11am - Relax and wake up. I'll get on my laptop or iPad, respond to emails, check Facebook, read blogs and do all those other important internet things.

11-12pm - Find something to eat/get ready for work/day. It takes me a bit to get hungry, so I'll grab a quick brunch and then jump in the shower to get ready for work or the day.

12-9pm - Work. Closing seems to be something I'm doing a lot so I normally go to work anywhere in the 12 o'clock hour and we get out of there at 8:45pm. 

9-bedtime - Visit with The Mr., blog, relax, clean etc. We don't do anything major in this time, sometimes we'll have a small bite to eat but nothing to call home about it. Bedtime is anywhere from 11-12pm or like last night, I went to bed at 1:30am. I couldn't put my book down!

Day 14: If I won the lottery....

Winning the lottery would be wonderful and it's always fun to dream about. There are many things that I would love to do with the money but if I were to really win, I'm sure it wouldn't go the way I want it and I would have no clue what to do with that much money. But if I'm ever to win a huge amount of money I would....

• First and foremost.....pay off this horrible debt that's weighing me down!
• pay off my parents house and make sure they were set for awhile
• buy/build a house
• build an education fund for my future children
• invest and save save save!!!!!

Okay, really, who am I kidding? I'd probably throw in a shopping trip in there too!

Day 13: My earliest memory

As we sat around today enjoying the day with my parents, my sister and I talked about childhood memories and we had some great laughs.

My sister was taken back by the fact that she remembers a lot of childhood memories with me around but I was so young that I don't remember them. I realized that there are a lot "memories" I thought I remembered but a lot of them were just from pictures or stuff my parents told me about.

I would have to say that my first memory is bits and piece of the car ride during our big move from Texas to Washington. I was really young, probably no older then 4 and I remember it was winter time. Somewhere along the way we stopped to eat and it was snowing really hard; it had obviously been snowing for awhile because I remember there being a lot on the ground. We all got out of the car and before anyone could say anything, I swear at the same time we all picked up a snowball and starting having a snowball fight, but we pretty much focused on Mom. Poor Mom, she had snowballs being thrown at her from all angles.

We still get a get laugh about that story and Mom still shakes her head when we talk about it.
