Over It

As in...I am so over Spencer and Heidi. Aside from being in the Hills...what exactly are they "famous" for. It is nauseating to see how they sell themselves out a little more each day.......


Sorry to my fellow bloggers who may like them, just had to get that off my chest!

ER Excitement!

So a bit of a delayed post as this has been a busy week! We started off the weekend by visiting here:








While attempting to take down our storm windows and put up our screens my darling hubby sliced his hand open after one of the windows broke. And of course it was one in The Kid's room. So after one lovely Saturday afternoon at the ER, stitches, and a tetanus shot we got to go home and clean up the glass that was all over. Luckily he was ok and his now chief complaint is how sore his arm is from the shot!
I took my car in for service on Monday only to find out that some fans needed replacing and after all was said and done would cost around $2K....not exactly what I wanted to hear as it is a leased car and we are turning it in in a little over 2 months. So....we opted to buy a new car!! Yipee for me! Although it is not my dream car (my BMW will have to wait for me for a couple more years!) I am very excited!

Who watched the Biggest Loser this week??? Ron is just straight pissing me off. Early on him and Mike were one of my favs. I was so mad at the fact that he sat their and lied to Bob; kudos to Bob for not buying a word of what he was saying!! I wish i had a Bob and Jillian with me all the time to motivate my lazy butt! I am hoping to be able to watch RHNYC tonight so i will be up to speed tomorrow.


Later!!

Yay for Etsy

So in a previous post I talked about my fist Etsy purchase for my friend's new baby and while the actual product is en route to my house Christie over at TaylorMadeBowtique who made it, posted a picture. I am even more excited now that I can see the actual product...I can't wait to give it to them!


I finally caught up on Biggest Loser and RHNYC last night. I can easily say that I was disappointed in Mike and Ron's behavior. They used to be up there on my favorite's list but have quickly fallen. I was so sad to see Kristin go....it was total game play what Mike did and I thought it was totally shady.
As far as the girls on Real Housewives...they are just a crazy mess but I love them all!

Summery Giveaway!

To get you ready for summer check out Southern Starlet's blog and her Kate Spade sunglasses giveaway. Someone, hopefully me, is going to be looking fierce this summer in those knockout glasses!

Name Game

I am a lot of things, but creative and clever are generally not included. I really want to be though! I came to this conclusion after reading lots of different blogs and everyone has such a cute clever display name. And now that I'm kind of bored with mine, I am going to put some thought into this and channel whatever I need to channel and come up with a different one. Wish me luck...and if you have any suggestions send them my way cause let's be honest...this is way over my head!

Please pray for Stellen as he is having his surgery today...

Monday Funday

This weekend was another busy one! The Kid had her first tennis lesson on Saturday. While I am not counting on her being the next Serena Williams, I am pretty sure she was the cutest/best dressed little girl out there. We were in such a rush I forgot to bring my camera but will post a pic next lesson.
We had the usual Sunday night...finishing dinner in time to watch Amazing Race. Another one of my all time favorite shows. I am pretty sure that one day I want to be on it...not sure I could do it with my hubby though. While we work together well, that stressful of a situation might be a little much. I'm honest.....I know my limitations :)

The Kid has her 3rd grade play tonight, a musical about Illinois and Abraham Lincoln. We are very excited....she only has one line (but a good one!) and then lots of great songs! Who thought they could make a musical out of the history of Illinois, should be interesting!

Here is a picture of a recent trip to the eye doctor. Love it!!

Biggest Loser

I was finally able to watch The Biggest Loser last night. God, I love love that show (and my DVR)! I'm sure I'm not the only one, but every time I watch that show it makes me want to get up off my butt and work out. How amazing did all of them look after their makeovers?!?! And when Ron's other son had his break down I just wanted to hug him through the TV...I wish the producers would automatically cast him for the next season. I was slightly overweight in high school, so I can't even imagine how difficult it must be for him. I would really like to see him get some help. I can't say I was terribly sad to see Laura go home. I like her and Tara enough but I am a little sick of Tara Tara Tara. I was totally pulling for Felipe to beat her...so sad.

On a side note I was so excited for my weekly weigh in this morning to find that despite all of my horrific(but yummy) eating over Easter weekend I still managed to loose 2 pounds. One little pound away from hitting the big 3-0!

First Etsy Purchase

How cute is this! Our good friends with the new baby boy are having

him baptized later this month and I have been dying to make my

first Etsy purchase! So I thought this would be a great gift, obviously in darling boy colors! I found it from Taylor Made Boutique,

Can't wait to see how it turns out!

Playing Catch Up

Today is going to be kind of a catch up post...Last week some of our dearest friends had their baby, a very sweet little boy!! He ended up having some complications and spent about 9 days in the NICU. Joyfully, he was released on Monday and got to go home with his very happy parents and big sister. I spent a lot of time thinking and praying for my friends last week. The Hubby and I got to spend some time with them at the hospital over the weekend....I just love little babies! Even thought they have a long road ahead of them I couldn't think of 2 better people able to do it. With all of the baby talk over the last week got me thinking of how wonderful it would be to have another one. I know The Kid is more than ready for a brother or sister, I'm just not sure I am at this point. I work full time now and I really want to be able to stay home with my next one, so I think a little more waiting is in order for now.

I had my weekly weigh in on Friday and I am officially down 26 pounds!!! Until....we went and had Mexican on Saturday night with one of my friends. I couldn't resist, I had been dreaming of margaritas and salsa all week long. Oh well...

Happy Hump Day!!
