my baby

is not a baby anymore, he just looks like such a little boy now. Happy 18 Months Cooper, you're growing up too fast....stop really.....

Just my luck...

Cooper loves to play hide and seek, mostly that consist of him covering his face, moving his hands over and saying "Boo!" Well, last week he started hiding behind our bedroom curtains and running out of them. He thinks this is so funny. So about 3:30 today, I was starting to clean and get ready for our showing at 6:30, and I heard a rip, and saw this:


Awesome! Needless we made a quick trip to Lowes to hopefully find the same curtain and replace it before our showing. Of course they didn't have the same one, so I bought 2 cheap shear green ones. If I'm going to have to leave them here when I move (..if I move..), you better believe I'm not spending a lot of cash on curtains! My biggest question is: How does one manage to rip a curtain from the middle? Or maybe it should be: Who is giving this kid muscle enhancements?

A letter to Starbucks....

Dear 7:29 barista at the Bryant and Memorial Starbucks:

This is not a complaint, just an observation. I will always favor and enjoy Starbucks coffee more then any other. My days with you are very limited, so when I wait in line to get my once a week grande non-fat Caramel Macchiato, please fill me up. I believe that while I may have paid for a grande, I think I got a tall in a grande cup. I learned my lesson: always take your treat receipt.




*a note to my readers: when you get your cup from the drive-thru, if it feels light you may want to open your lid and check it out, like I did....unfortunately for me I was already at work.

A favor....

search for: Rachael Ray recipes

Who comes up first? Before Rachael Ray's own website?

That's right, my Dad is a ROCKSTAR!!
Just thought everyone should know that!

Oh and you should go here and check out Abby and Drew's Senior pictures! I love those kids, they are the best!

so hungry....yet so tired

*if you don't believe me then just find the people that walked by me this morning, and may have given me a "what the heck are you thinking" look! (Or maybe it was a "that's one strong and great wife and mama look) As Tim Gunn would say, "Make it work!"

week 1...

For those that are wondering, I completed week 1 of P90X. Let me just say, I would not, repeat, would not have said what I am about to say about this program after day 3. I LOVE THIS WORKOUT. The first 3 days and the first part of the yoga is killer. You will be sore, you will be tired, but after you finish that yoga, you'll be better. I do not do pull ups, I need to rig some bands up or something, I just lift weights over my head, which I am sure isn't the same thing, but I'm still working out, and I could care less how buff my back gets, I can still feel it. I'm still struggling with the Ab Ripper X, but I'm getting there, slowly but surely getting a little better at it. It will take some time. I love the Kempo X, it's great. After 6 days of working out I'll say I feel great, I'm no longer sore, and I feel like I have more energy then I did when I ran. So if you're contemplating getting this, I would highly recommend it. It's even motivating me to try to eat better. For example, I had yogurt and granola for lunch today, but don't you worry I canceled that out with some yummy banana cupcakes!
