Just a quick note. We all know what today is. So just take a moment for yourself at some point and remember.

We should also remember to move on and not let the day overpower anything. Which is why tonight I get to watch two of my closest friends marry one another. I'm glad to have something positive to celebrate today.

Hey! It's a Friday Photo!!

Yup. Got one for you today. Not a new one or anything. But a good one.

Just have to brag on my boy and how adorable he is. Seriously. That face is the sweetest thing ever.

Have I mentioned he has TWO loose teeth? I can't wait for him to lose them. He'll be too cute to handle.

So happy Friday! I have big plans this weekend. Church event, wedding (including cake made by me!), and some shootin'. I might relax in there somewhere too. What are your plans?

Happy Birthday to...

my sissy!!


You all know my sissy already. You know we're troublemakers together. So I'll keep it short and semi-sweet.

She's the mother of my child (literally, she's Tad's mom and I tell him he's my baby all the time). She's vulgar and hilarious. She will always have my back. And I love her (even when we don't agree, which happens more than you might think).

Happy birthday love!

What's This????

Is it... it is! It's a wish list!!!!

Don't wet yourself or anything. It's not obscenely long and it's not particularly special. It's just Old Navy clothes. With the cool down we're having this week I am wishing for fall. Cardigans, jeans (oh yeah, I can totally wear jeans to work), sweaters... I love it. And I'm ready for it. So here are some things that I might just be heading out to look at this coming month.


I don't own a denim skirt. Okay, I do, but it's a little short and it has a skull on it. Definitely not work appropriate. But this one would be perfect with a lot of things I already own.

I could use some good pants. Unfortch, my legs are ridiculously short so I have to hem everything that doesn't come in short length. These cords (in several colors) would be totally worth it.


And along the lines of corduroy, this dress is corduroy also. I think it's a good texture for fall. And this would be super cute with tights.

And I can't do a fall wish list without cardigans. Cardigans are the loves of my life. I will probably wear them far too often this year. This argyle one is adorable.

Cable knit makes me all hot and bothered (in a good way). Cable knit + cardigan? Heaven. Total heaven.

So there are just some things that made me wish I'd been paid already. Not yet though. Soon enough.

Coolness

You ever have one of those weekends? Where everything you did was awesome? That was mine. It could have been that it was my first holiday since school started. And the fact that hubby and I had a day off together for the first time in almost a month (seriously, we didn't realize how tough our opposite schedules would be).

Would you like a rundown of the awesomeness? Okay then...

Friday 5ish pm - I get home and decide that a bath and book are necessary. Done and done. Feeling good.

Friday 7ish pm - I realize I never watched part one of the Jersey Housewives reunion. So I watch. And I LOVE it. Can't wait for part two.

Saturday 6ish am - Uncool. My body decided to try and wake up. I have none of it and fall asleep for another hourish. Good enough I suppose.

Saturday 9 am - Mom and I go to my baby's first flag football game! He was adorable and that is all that even needs to be said.

Saturday 11ish am - Mom and I go to set up centerpieces and decor for my grandpa's western-themed 80th birthday party. We love what we've done with the place.

Saturday 5 pm - Party starts. Tweeting ensues. It's a good time with no drama and my grandpa is the cutest thing ever.

Sunday 10 am - Head to grandma's with the parents. Menudo, pan dulce, and more family time.

Sunday 2 pm - Cousin comes to town. We go pick up my Tad and do some shopping.

Sunday night Tad and Kayla both stayed here. We watched Diary of a Wimpy Kid (hilarious!). Looked for constellations. Just hung out. Then all day Monday we were at my mom's. Again, just hanging out. I snuck in a nap while Tad played.

Thank goodness for a relaxing weekend. Now to count down to the next holiday...

Right Now

Right now I wouldn't mind having...

• a Starbucks gift card with a large amount of money on it. There isn't one on my way to work (technically), but if I had a gift card I would stop at the closest one every morning. And every Wednesday on my way to church (P.S. - I may have convinced our pastor to bring me Starbucks next week... love him!).
• a pair of leopard print flats. There's a lot that they would go with.
• another hour of sleep. Can't wait for this three-day weekend.
• the powers of mind-control. No comment on who I would use it on, just having it would be amazing.
• tickets to see GSP and Koscheck fight later this year. Oh wait, I know someone in the UFC now so maybe I should get to work on that...

Right now I will just be grateful that it's Thursday and I'm pretty caught up with my planning. What do y'all want right now?

Dude

It's September. SEPTEMBER. Do you know what that means????

• 60 days until Halloween. You know what that means... costume search, house decorating, themed wish lists (hopefully).
• 84 days until Thanksgiving. Which I have been contemplating having at our house. Am I psycho? Don't answer that. I'm afraid I'm very much aware of my level of sanity. Or lack thereof.
  
• 81 days until Thanksgiving break. A full week off? Sweet, sweet freedom. I'm hoping to visit some out of town family.
  
• 105 days until my birthday. My 29th birthday. Good Lord, did I really just admit my age on here? I'm so scared of 30 next year. I'm not gonna lie.
• 108 days until I get to sleep in for THREE WEEKS. Hooray for Christmas break!! My last day is even a half day! Can I get a hallelujah?!
• 115 days until Christmas! Let's not think about that one at the moment...
• 122 days left in the year 2010. HOLY. COW. Seriously. Maybe it's best not to think about that right now either...

Now that I've probably scared the crap out of a lot of you, have a happy Wednesday!!!

haha It feels good being evil.
