  • My Husband.

    Makes me laugh. A lot.
    As we are watching AI, a particular contestant comes on the stage, and before they show how her audition went down, he nailed it.
    “HEY! That is snookie orange face!!!”
    Then AI proceeded to show her audition which included star tassles hanging on her bikini top. Or whatever that was. Ahhhh, he is a funny one.

  • Oops, I did it again.

    Oops, I did it again.

    the fruit of my labor
     C thought it was Chili. 

    What are those irregularly shaped cutouts you ask?  An act of desperation-you don’t want details. The story behind this? Originally took it out 20 minutes early, didn’t realize it was a FAIL until I cut a piece and the center ran out. So I did some damage control and cut out the “cooked” parts. (to ensure I ate some morsel of this disaster), put it back in the oven, and apparently forgot to hit *enter* on the oven timer. 30-45 minutes later, my trusty oven emitted enough smoke to fill the 1st floor, thus I flew down the stairs on my broom. (not really). I believe the noise made when I bounced the knife off this motherload, was “chink”.
    Because there was no glorious purpose in deciding to bake this, I let lil Stink be my assistant. (by the way 3 year old are even worse direction followers than I previously thought). Which is why each ingredient was either friends with the floor or inappropriately handled with unwashed little boy hands. Yack.

    What toffee bars are supposed to look like:
    Whatever. 
  • Life’s remote

    Life’s remote

    There are times I truly wish I had the never attainable remote control for life. I have hardly any pictures from college/ high school and under. (what did we take pictures with in those old days anyway?) BUT; if I could rewind back to any time at all, on my list would be my date night with Ash and Old Chicago Nachos.  In a heart beat. I laughed so hard I peed my pants, cried and choked. (and this was before the post pregnancy bladder which makes it even better). I came across a few other times I would gladly go right back to.

    Wedding Night. 

     

    Birth of 1st baby…
    Realizing my heart is on this bed sheet. 
    As I searched through all 8300 pictures in the Mac beast, I didn’t have the patience to wait for the heathen of a spinning ball to stop putzing around. I had grand plans when thinking of all the fun pics I could put in here, then discovered I could be doing this till I am in depends, or get on the oreo eating bandwagon. So I of course am going to do the righteous thing and get me some oreos.  

  • Sisters.

    Born an only child, I will admit to longing for a sister growing up. I used to ask my mom every month if she was pregnant. (I am sure she really appreciated that). So I guess you can argue it was a mini obsession. Well, the most beautiful thing about belonging to a church body is having sweet sisters in Christ.  I am so very thankful for each of my “sisters”. Having these precious women around to encourage, support, admonish and love on each other has totally changed my life. I get what my sweet Nanny always would tell me as a little girl-“living for God, you will never regret it”. God is clear that our reward is in Heaven, but in the mean time, I am so thankful for the people He has so perfectly placed in my life.

  • Flashback Friday

    Flashback Friday

    What is better than getting married and being on your honeymoon? Finding out your new husband has a knack for taking pictures with this:

    In fact, I was made aware hour 1 of the trip that this favorite creepy mascot/ statue/ idol would be stuffed in a backpack, carried and photographed at every magical spot Italy had to offer. Fantastic. Being the dramatic submissive wife everyone knows me to be, I of course did not kick and scream and make outrageous gestures at every photo op. 5 years later, this is the first time we have shown these amazing gems to anyone.  Consider yourselves blessed.

     A wee bit sacrilegious.  Good thing we aren’t roman catholic.

     Could thing have fallen in? Nope. (don’t think I wasn’t huffing and puffing). It even teetered on that rock. And survived.


    Apparently the bruin floats on water. Indestructible. Awesome.
    After each picture Stink got to see this happy face.
    Stink redeemed himself and took me to a small city full of these. Yep. Still funny.
