Boy or Girl...?

Any votes on what the little bambino is? We find out TODAY! Well, hopefully... we go in for the anatomy ultrasound and hopefully find out if we buy pink or blue... well, moreso purple or green... or maybe yellow or red... oh goodness. So many options.

gettin old...

I love this commercial. I think it's so cute. The wrinkles, the dancing, the song. Just precious. Makes me excited to get old... well, at least not as scared to get that old... thanks Kaiser!

tea time

Twas tea time this past weekend... the ladies got together this past Sunday for a proper afternoon tea. The afternoon was filled with pinkie-lifting tea sipping, mini sandwiches and yummy desserts, and of course scones with jam and cream. Just lovely...

just shoot me...

Josh got a shot... the H1N1 shot to be exact. Best part? His Lightning McQueen band-aid burrowed in the arm hair... and he didn't even cry. He's such a big boy!

PS

PS- the boots came in the mail yesterday. Oh. My. Word. SO soft (sorry cow!), so buttery, so comfortable, the color? perfection. LOVE THEM.

BUT (and yes, there is a but) I have realized that most of my skirts that are the length and style that I would wear with such perfect boots are all in the black/grey tones. (I know! So why order brown?? I just love the color!!) So... question of the day. Do I try to exchange for the black or keep the brown and accumulate a whole new wardrobe?

Josh says I can't buy a whole new wardrobe to match a shoe... but to him I say, well, why not?? If the shoe fits...

tree hugger

There's nothing that can beat the smell of a Christmas tree in your home during the holidays. My family used to put on our sweaters and snow boots and go cut our own tree - those were the days. Josh was a tree planter back in the day, so I justify getting a live tree because he's planted so many... it makes up for killing a tree... right? But I can't justify getting one of those cute little 3 foot trees because they're just babies!! They're like toddlers in the world of trees and weren't even allowed to grow to their full potential. Tree hugger, I know. But I can't kill the baby trees or even support it. But at the same time we don't want a gigantic tree filling our tiny living room... hmm.

We're not opposed to a fake tree... a GOOD fake tree... my parents now have a fake tree that actually looks and FEELS like a real tree. I'm fine with that. But the good fakes are VERY expensive. So... want to hear our solution?

This year, we'll be leaving the trees planted in the ground and the fakes in the stores and purchase a wreath made out of real pine branches so we get the smell of Christmas and then wait until the holiday season is OVER to get a killer deal on a real-looking fake tree!! Brilliant, no? :)

confession...

I always wanted to be Tiffani Amber Thiessen. You know - Kelly Kapowski?? She always got to date Zach Morris and that was enough for me to be envious of her... not to mention her rockin bangs and sweet full length orange locker... She was so hip.

Well, although I've snagged my very own Zach Morris... but with a beard (he's so dreamy!), I've come to terms that I can't be her . But I think we would be really good friends... or at least we'd be able to bond at this point in our lives... why you ask?

Earlier this month Kelly... er... I mean, Tiffani drop-the-Amber Thiessen announced that she and her husband are expecting a baby in May.

Yep... Same here! Audrey and Josh are going to be a mom and dad this upcoming May! No, Josh isn't going to be my OBGYN, but YES - I am having a baby!

This Halloween picture is a look into the not so distant future... like, as in, maybe 4 months?? So there it is folks. You know the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.... surprized???

shop... but not crazy shop...

I'm all about finding a deal. I'm the google search "j crew free shipping promo code" before finalizing my purchase. I'm the shop the clearance rack at Lululemon because it's an arm and a leg otherwise. I'm the "I'll wait and if I'm still thinking about it in 2 days I'll go and get it." I'm the "I'll wait until it goes on sale and if they still have my size it's meant to be." I'm all about bargains and coupons and all that jazz. But I am NOT the camp out to run into Target at 5AM girl. Heck no! Turkey coma = sleep in on black Friday.

Yes, I'd love that flat screen 50" TV for $100, but no, I will not bite, pull hair, trample, and run over people to get it. I will be comfortable in my bed and loving every moment.

Some people say it's fun and it's an experience and to them I say "More power to you... you're crazy... but more power to you." And I'm sure it is quite the experience, but my kind of shopping experience is a random Tuesday during the school year (preferably not close to a holiday) at around 11AM when it's just the moms, their strollers, and a few random shoppers surrounding me. Now THAT is shopping. To each his own...

Happy Turkey Day!!

I'm thankful for you, faithful reader...


Eat well, be thankful, and Happy Thanksgiving!!
