Oh-Em-GEEE

So I was going to post yesterday about how I ran across some recent pics of J. Simpson at an event, and she was looking FAB-U-LOUS!

pic from here So imagine my surprise when I open up my US Weekly tab this morning and it tells me that Jessica Simpson is pregnant yet AGAIN! The girl makes adorable babies, so I understand the enthusiasm to get back on the horse (so to speak...), but she looks like she literally JUST lost all the baby weight & didnt make it a secret about the struggle. I dont know, to each their own. For me, I just wanted to get rid of all the weight and then enjoy it before I get preggers again. Or was it cause I wanted to enjoy margaritas? :)

Its Okay...

Linking up with Amber & Neely for It's Okay Thursday...

It's Okay... that I've only gone to the gym 3 times this week even tho I really coulda gone 4

It's Okay... that during my "High Carb" day of carb cycling yesterday, I took that opportunity to down 2 cupcakes from a bakery.

It's Okay... that Im going to the midnight showing of Twilight to surround myself with screaming and giddy teens and pre teens.... and grown women.

Its Okay ... that I am getting a leg twitch over the fact that I want to decorate for Christmas. If it werent for my husband, Christmas decor woulda been out the day after Halloween. #sorryImnotsorry

It's Okay ... that I thought I was 12 years old again and climbed a giant black oak tree in my card in order to reach a branch to cut down #countrygirlatheart

It's Okay ... that Im seriously losing interest in Real Housewives of Miami #snooooooze

What are you letting roll off your back?

Shabam!

Just another manic Monday am I right? My day will be looking like this: hit the gym, come home and make the hubby bfast, kiss the hubby & send him off to make those Benjamins, give Troy and myself bfast, head to my besties house for a bit of life catch up/coffee/play date with our chitlins (MUCH overdue), go to Tar-jay, go to Trader Joes, go to another grocery store, come home, unload said groceries, feed Troy and myself lunch, put Troy down for a nap, empty the dishwasher and load Sunday night dishes (nasty, I know), do the laundry, shower, change the laundry, nap or watch Netflix, feed Troy dinner, bathe Troy, put Troy to bed, make dinner, welcome hubby home with a big ol kisser, put my feet up and get ready to do it again. Sounds fun, huh? Welcome to my every Monday, ladies. I cant complain tho, right? Some people have it worse. 

** those things crossed off have been done and done...writing this on Sunday evening**

You know what you'll never hear me complain about? My beautiful family. We got our family pics done on Sunday evening and check out the teaser our photographer posted, EEEEK! LOVE LOVE my boys

Have a beautiful blessed Monday, girls!

HEEEEEELP

Ladies, long time no talk, yeah? Lets get down to some huge news & no Im not talking about our Commander in Chief. I have been asking Nick foreveeeeeeer if Apple is going to have a Christmas party. Ever since he's worked there, I've wanted to go to a Christmas party. Just the idea of getting to put faces to the stories I've heard, and lets be honest, I want to dress up!

As a stay at home mamacita, I never get the chance to dress up in a semi formal dress. Well and if Im totally honest, even when I was working out of the home, I never got the chance to wear a semi formal dress. So imagine my excitement when Nick sent me an email with a Christmas party invite from the company!! Not only is it a Christmas party at a hotel downtown, but we are staying the night at the hotel - aka no T Rex - aka Mommy and Daddy time with drinks and dancing, BOOM!

So I am in a serious predicament - a dress! I have been looking at Tobi.com , 6pm, Kohls, Lulus.com, and Kiki La Rue. I LOVE SOOOOOOOO many of them, but none that make me go "OOO thats the one I want to wear in the spotlight wear that night.

Nick has told me his "requirements": A little lace is okay, but not overkill, CANNOT be shorter than knee length (something about not wanting his coworkers to see the goods, I dont know), and it cannot be TOO MUCH sequins (is there such a thing?).

I am going to the mall in 2 weeks with 2 of my bestest girlfriends to try on every dress find "the one" if I can't find it online by then. Here are a few I've pinned on my "Holiday Dress ideas" board on Pinterest.

Weekend Roundup

Happy Monday, hunny boo boo's. Time for a weekend round up, yeah? 

1. Friday night my naughty patient Nicky poo and I went to my bestie's 2nd annual Halloween party. So we all took pics with our husbands and we had to act out the person/thing we were dressed as. We shall see if Nick really reads this ol' bloggy poo by if he mentions this picture for the world to see. Love you, babe!

2. How cute is this dude? Reading the car section out of all the ads there are. Coulda been worse - coulda been the Real Estate section. 

3. Flashdance anyone? Saturday I did laundry (yay), and who wanted to wear daddies socks? 

4. My Bible. I know I can't be the only one who writes in their Bible. I underline and circle things constantly. Things that I find convicting or just never want to forget.

Hope your weekends were fun :)

Because I have the most amazing...

Blogger Bffilicious! 

So as you may remember, September 27th was my 26th birfday. Well Ms. Amber from Bugs, Barbies, and Wedded Bliss remembered! She is seriously so cute and needs to be on the Real Housewives of Alabama STAT. She has the car, the house, the looks, she has 1 sassafras little girl, 1 HILARIOUS little red head boy, and the cutest marriage. If you don't already follow her? I am so sorry for your loss, but go check out her blog and I promise you'll be hooked within 1 post. 

So anywhooot, Amber told me there was something coming for moi in the mail. That news alone got me excited! So Ive been lurking around our mailbox every day at 1:48pm (The mail comes at 1:50 on most days) to see what that handsome mailman distrubtes into the mail boxes. Well it came!!!

Why yes, these would be workout tank tops! How well does she know me?! Amber and I were reading 50 Shades of Grey at the same time and would compare our notes we took away, discuss how society can be so judgmental of a little harmless red room activity reading, and also how sad we were going to be by finishing the last book #wewillmissyouChristan #theybettercastyouwellforthemovie  

As for the 13 point freaking 1?! Y'all might remember this post. I REALLLLLLY love this tank top. There are no words...

Check out the back!! 

Along with the tanks, Ms. Thang got me some Mac lipgloss, cause even if Im sweating, I must look decent. The T Rex got to be my kiss tester 

I wasted no time in getting it all sweaty - hello stomach sweat! 

Dayuuuum, Jessica

So we all know how Jessica Simpson had her baby and how she signed a deal with Weight Watchers to lose the baby weight. She hasn't lost it as ridiculously fast like some other celebrity women *Any and all the Victoria Secret sticks models, but that's ok. As a mom who worked out before her baby, during her baby, and after her baby and through the crazy toddler days, I know it's hard work. I get to the gym at least 3 times a week and train hard and intense and Im STILL not where I want to be *wine may play a part in this...or my little bites of Troy's lunches and dinners*. And I am almost 2 years post partum. So to me, Jessica looks freaking good! Look at those legs?! Ummm, hello shredded calves! Jessica has always had amazing legs, but that's not the point. The point is, she needs to tell me where she got those shoes! She had baby girl Maxwell Drew Johnson about 5 months ago & lets not all forget where we (peeps who've had babes is what I mean by "we") were 5 months post partum. Way to go Jessica, keep it up girl!
