Thank god we found each other

Because no one else could handle us.  When the two of us are alone we bring out the weird in each other.  Just see this pic below.  Its my all time favorite.

Last night was just a normal Sunday evening for us.  We usually end up staying up waaaaay too late.  Seems like Brion usually pays bills, I do laundry and we have few drinks and before you know it, its usually like 1:30am.  


In the shower this morning I was thinking about the night before and couldn't help but giggle.  At the time, I didn't realize how silly and random we were being.  We were watching Celebrity Apprentice (dont judge us, its entertaining) on the DVR and having a few drinks.  During that time we were doing the following


- analyzing the players strategies way too much(losers)
- discussed God
- Brion stood up and "made it rain" on me with receipts and while doing so spilled his screwdriver over on our bills( I haven't laughed that hard in a long time)
- discussed politics, more specifically our different views on taxes
- I asked him for a present sometime I wanted him to get me hypnotized to eat less and want to exercise and be skinny and to give better ---- ---- and to like doing so more.  


I promised Brion that I wouldn't say the one thing, he said it was too much TMI.  He never said anything about hinting at it...


GOd I love him and am so glad that we found each other.  I don't think I could've found anyone else that understands and enjoys all this crazy. 

Field Trip Friday

Today was Field Trip Friday.  Friday is my favorite day of the week!  Today Boogie and I decided we would splurge and go bowling.  The bowling alley didnt open until 3, so we spent the morning playing games and having a dance party.  I took a bunch of pics of today.  Everything but the dance party.  Sorry, I was unshowered and braless, I'm totally doing you a favor.

Boogie hooked up his phone to speakers and they were watching Sponge Bob.  Notice the large TV to the right.  Silly kids.

While both kids napped, I sat in my favorite spot and watched my favorite channel(Bravo), while eating a large bowl of rice.  Ya know, I had to carbo load for bowling.

God, I've got ugly kids!

Looks like a strike to me.

Pretty typical

This picture cracks me up

He played 2 games at once and got the same score

I hope everyone has a great weekend.  Not sure what we've got planned but just glad that its the weekend.  

Seacrest out!

Truths

The following things are true...


- I totally tried on my bikini right before I ate dinner, to keep me from eating too much.  This is another attempt to be skinnier.  I might have to start eating dinner in the damn thing.


-So some crazy nutbag threw trash out of her sunroof at me today.  I'm pretty sure she was mad because she thought I was driving too close behind her.  I honestly wasn't!(i totally catch myself doing that and would totally admit if I was)  Before she threw the trash, she slammed on her brakes while we were going 80.  I know that move.  I do it when people are riding my ass all the time.  What really gets me, as while she was doing all this to me (oh she flipped me off too) she was behind another car and was waaaaaaay closer to them than I was to her.  I get the brake thing and the finger, but who litters?!?  She really showed me.


- I truly love and appreciate Brion.  I am very lucky to be his wife.  He is out right now getting me some Malibu.  Thats not why I love him, but it helps


-I shaved my legs for the first time in like a week today


- Really want this blog to be successful.  I dont know why, but I do.  I find myself jealous of people that have tons of followers.  One girl especially.   She's been doing hers for like 13 months and has sponsors and tons of followers.


-I really have to refrain from biting babies cheeks.  Some days I fear I will hurt Shelby Lynn when biting her cheek.


- The skank toe (see previous post) is almost better, looks weird but doesnt hurt anymore. I successfully performed my own surgery.


-The best part of the last line is I saved myself a trip to the doctor.  Which only excites me because I saved the co pay.


-After publishing this post i am going to have a few Malibu and diets and try to seduce my husband.  and by seduce, I mean say "ya wanna?"




Tomorrow is my Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Any suggestions for our Field Trip Friday on Friday?

Drained

So, I am completely and totally drained, mentally and physically.  I have a few things I want to blog about, but no motivation to do so.  I try to stay upbeat and positive but tonight I'm giving myself a free pass to just be down in the dumps.  No real reason for the mood, I'll blame hormones.  


Thanks everyone for reading my blogs, I'm always so surprised by all the positive feedback I get.  Hopefully I'll be back to my normal self and post a new blog soon.  


I'll try to make it extra inappropriate!

Date night... with myself

And no I did not buy a "Kegel exerciser" and did you know what with it :)  Last night we somehow magically got the kids both in bed by 9:00.  That never happens.  Boogie usually finds a way to stay up until 10 and then stay awake in his bed till at least to 11.  Anyways after we got the kids to bed, Brion mentioned that there was this live podcast thing he wanted to watch on the computer and asked if it would be ok if he watched it.  I didnt care, I still had a pretty full DVR.  

SO Brion went into our bedroom and watched his stuff, farted around on the computer, and showered and shaved.   My neck and back were hurting so I put my heating pad in the microwave, fired up the dvr, and made myself a drink.  After about 20 minutes Brion came out and asked if it was ok that he was still in there.  I know my answer should have been something to the extent of "its fine, but I wish we were spending time together"  or something like that.  My real answer was " I know I should want to hang out with you right now, but this is the best night ever!"  Brion agreed that it was nice to have sometime to himself.  So thats what we did for the next 2+ hours(maybe even longer).  Me on the couch and him in our bedroom.

This is what my counter looked like halfway through the night

My view all night

I dont care what anybody says, what I did last night was better than going to any bar, or party, or whatever it is people do on a Friday night.  I mean, I drank half a bottle of rum, watched a Law and Order SVU, The real housewives of Atlanta Reunion,  a 20/20, and a few Watch What Happens Lives.  


Just call me the next Lindsey Lohan!




Anyways, I was in bed around 1:00 and up by 7.  We took the kids to breakfast at one of our fav places.  Then, Brion had to cut some grass, so I took the kids to the Library and then to the grocery store.  

Already a great weekend in my book.  Happy weekend and a Bababooey to ya!

Good*Bad*TMI

Good


- I've been pretty caught up at work lately.  I still haven't taken any lunches, but I'm way less stressed out
- Due to my eating better, I'm down about 4 pounds
-we have no plans this weekend and I have a full dvr!
- Brion is in a play on Monday and has the only speaking part.  He already has his lines learned too!
-For the 1st time since I had Shelby Lynn I like my hair.  I kept cutting it off and getting weird layers.  
- I did 30 minutes of cardio today and didn't die.  Too bad by cardio I mean just dance 3 on the wii with Boogie.




Bad


-Since I was down 4 pounds, I ate too much for dinner
-I overdid it with that damn thigh master and now my groin area is a painin'
-Thanks to Malibu and diet coke I might just be an alcoholic
-Put both of my dirty kids to bed without a bath because I wanted some alone time with the husband.  and by alone time I mean drink malibu and diet coke with him while we watch shows from the dvr




TMI


-Totally told 2 male coworkers that I have saggy boobs today.  I might have even sang "swing low, sweet chariot"
- My house is super clean, but something smells like asshole and trashcan (i think it one of the dogs is rotting from the inside out)
- Just as I said I would in my last post, I looked up Kegel exercises.  They are only for pregnant ladies that need to strengthen the vaginal wall. OR for people that have bladder issues.  While looking into it, I came across a kegel exerciser.  See pic below.  Looks like a big metal dildo to me.  

Just call me Suzanne Sommers

Recently, I decided that I needed to lose a little weight.  Not too much, I more want to tone up.  The problem is, I don't want to work out and diets dont work.  I've just been trying to make better food choices and do little things to tone up.  


I cant do the whole treadmill thing.  Been there done that.  I'm not opposed to being active or some working out, I just hate being out of breath.  The last few times I've blow dried my hair, I did that invisible chair thing up against the wall.  I've been taking the stairs at work.  I've been parking farther away when I go to the store. I've been racking my brain to think of little ways to lose a little weight without really working out.


I was joking around with a co-worker about how I needed a thigh master to use while at my desk at work.  We kept talking about it and decided that we would get one and take turns using it.  I mentioned it to my mother inlaw who just happened to have one.   As you can see below, I used it today.  So very 80's of me, I know.  I'm not sure how much it does, but I was for sure feeling the burn.

It got me thinking what else can I do to work out without working out?  On the way home, I kept tightening my stomach muscles.  Again, not sure how much it was doing, but I could feel it.  I started doing kegel exercises, but doesn't that just work out your vagina?  If so, I think my vagina is strong enough.  I'll have to look that up.  


I wonder what could tighten my butt?  Its looking a little "momish" lately.  I'll be 30 this year, and while I don't mind getting older, I don't want to get too far gone in the looks dept.


Does anyone have any suggestions of some non-exercises for me?  Please leave a comment below and let me know.




Speaking of 80's, I want this hairstyle to make a come back sooooo bad. 

 I love the way it looks.  I might have to just start rocking it, and just hope it catches on.  It probably wont but oh well.

The Good

So I was going to post a The Good The Bad and The TMI post tonight. One little prob, I couldn't really think of a Bad or TMI. Well I can always think of some TMI, but I'll spare you for once.


Friday we celebrated my father in law's bday.  I love getting together with family.  I especially love watching my kids play with their cousins. 




Saturday, was amazing.  Since it was raining, Brion couldn't go do his usual Satruday morning lawn mowings.  I let him sleep in until 1130 and just cuddled and played with the kids.  Then once he got his lazy butt up, I made him keep the kids out of my hair and I went gangbusters on the house.  Its so much more enjoyable cleaning the house without Shelby Lynn trying to climb my legs.  I love cleaning the house.  I got to do a major cleaning.  We are talking wiping down walls, using Qtips, bleaching and scrubbing, the whole 9 yards.  Call me crazy but it was a super day!  Then to top it off I got all my laundry done and then I got hammered on the couch with Brion while drinking Malibu and diet coke until the wee hours.




Sunday was game day!!!  Brion and I LOVE going to Cardinal games.  I could seriously go to every home game and not get bored.  Luckily, I have a pretty cool boss who gives me tickets pretty often.  He as great seats and free parking.  This allows Brion and I to get nachos and beer.  (which I enjoy just as much as the game itself)  It was a great day date for me and Brion.





Here are some photos from the weekend

 Great Seats!

 He was sick of pics

I hope you all had a great weekend as well.  I had a great morning.  Short little photoshoot with a very happy little Miss Shelby Lynn this morning.  I had a great day, and I think its because it started with this!!!!

Test run

I really enjoy blogging, but am having trouble finding the time. Brion and I are always fighting for the laptop.  I just downloaded the blogger app and so far I'm not digging it. It might just be because I'm in somewhat of a bad mood.
If anyone else uses an app to blog let me know what it is and how you like it.

This is what its like 90% of the time in the car with this kid.  Sorry that my kid is cooler than you!

Happy Easter! (2 days late)

So this blog was supposed to go up Sunday night, but I fell asleep on the couch.  Last night between Brion using the computer to record Stern, then paying bills, and me falling asleep on the couch again, I didn't get to it.  


We had a lovely Easter.  Lovely, not a word I use often, but really the best word to describe the day.    The weekend was nice.  I hope you all reading this had a great weekend no matter what your religious beliefs may be.

He was so proud of his lady bug
