church words.

Elyott:  Dad...you just...look good.

Adam:  Do I look handsome?

Elyott: {laughing}  Daaaad! 'Handsome' is a church word!...you have to use words when you're at home like 'fun' or 'good'....like 'it's good to be home'

:) I love her.

like a glove.

You know when you've just squeezed into your classy spandex pants, and you just can't find any shoes to complete your outfit? That's so frustrating.

You can imagine then, my pure elation when i stumbled upon these suede beauties on Etsy. Had I been a hooker on the prowl for some comfy red thigh highs, and not so busy looking at the garbage in her fireplace OR her hungry spandex butt, I might have noticed the boots for sale. Ya ya, we've all heard it before: "they are just so comfy" or "what else do I wear with my sequence tube top?" Just promise yourself that next time you will acquaint yourself with your photo crop tool, or at least buy a reliable rear viewing full length mirror. Lesson learned: no matter how fabulously you think you can rock a pair of black stretchies, sometimes its better to let your butt...er...boots speak for themselves (har har). All things considered...I ultimately settled on this more versatile, slightly less distracting pair...

(not actual boots i bought, but close enough. You get the idea)

shiny happy people.

You can be shiny too!

...all you need is one of these.
and a couple of these...

{okay so, you'll probably need a few of these too.}

hint hint...

Dear Husband ♥

In case you were wanting to get me another present besides the fabulous one you have already picked out on your own {wink wink}, here are a few items that would make my heart sing come my morning of breakfast in bed {in exactly 14 days from today}.  And since you SO hate to see my birthday overshadowed by a larger and drastically more important "holiday" {clears throat}...Thanksgiving, i thought i would make it easy and share each idea in order of "wanting" (1 being lust, 5 being would relieve my guilt of just buying it myself ;) with a one click link for your convenience.  Thank you my dear...i love it already!

post partum entertainment

this is me indulging heather's wishes... 1. where is your favorite place to people watch? - Disneyland...Crazy parents with their front butts, and all those horrible Character shirts. 2. where is the best place to get a soda? - QT. Their "turd" ice is way turdier than Sonic's. 3. what's your nickname for your inlaws? - Adam affectionately refers to them as Jeannie and Spence Nuts 4. what celebrity do you least resemble? - Flava Flave.  He's a celebrity, right? 5. if you got to watch your husband make out with another man, who would it be? - To avoid destroying any of my personal fantasies, it would have to be someone horrible and awesome like...Mario Lopez or Nicolette Sheridan (or should i say "NICK"...who's not fooling anyone.).  6. if you had to hit one animal with your car, what would it be? - a ferret 7. tell us about the sweatiest day of your life: - every night while i sleep. (and the drool doesn't help either) 8. what is the worst outfit you've ever worn? - my last minute wedding dress.  I had to go Braless with size H knockers {Lesson learned: Abstinence before marriage.} 9. if you had to spend $10 at Home Depot, what would you buy? - Spray paint and a 3 King size Milky Ways  10. please post a very happy picture of yourself:

{you said happy, not cute} *by the way...sheamus just climbed up on my lap and said {referring to this picture}:

S: "Can i see his dress? {giggling} He looks so silly!  What is his name?

ME: No honey, that's mommy :)

S: Her is so bad!
