Day 119

Ugh, what a beautiful wedding it was!!! My dreams of a fairytale wedding were reignited! Anyone up for coming to Mike and I's second wedding?? I was like a damn hormonal woman on the brink of tears during the whole thing. WTF! I didn't even cry at my own wedding! Not even a little bit. Yet, the sight of seeing Harry turn around at the alter, or the 'you look so beautiful' from Will and I am about to grab some tissues. Ugh, I'm such a dweeb!

Day 118

So, my alarm will be set to awake a bit before 6 am tomorrow. Crazy, I know. But I swore I was going to marry the Prince when I was younger (and by younger I mean last year...lol). Funny how if I am willingly getting up early, like to leave for vacation, I will spring out of bed with pep in my step, though, if it's for something like work, awww hell no!
Ok, so as you can see I blogged on time, I just did not add my pic until now. So without further ado, here is my Nin's petting brother Bails!

Day 117

Yea, yea, yea I am such a slacker it's not even funny. I swear I have been taking a daily picture, I just don't get to upload the pictures all the time. So I will attempt to keep blogging and add the pics later. Oh and I had to share my dessert with everyone bc it was DAMN DELICIOUS!!!!

Day 116

Has anyone seen my flowers?? I think they are somewhere but I seemed to have misplaced them over winter. It's pathetic how horrible my flower beds look. Embarrassing actually. I have weeds galore and lets not mention the mounds of fall leaves..yes you heard that right...fall leaves, blanketing my flowerbeds. They are in some serious needs of some TLC, though, I'm not sure if I want to take them on to be honest. Can someone give me a swift kick to the rear so I take care of this mess. Though, let me honest, the people across the street are missing siding pieces, window pieces and have sheets hanging as curtains. I'm sure I could do nothing to the outside of my house and it'll still look like a million bucks compared to that one.

Day 115

I am blogging early bc my sinuses are acting up pretty bad and I am not sure how I am going to feel later on this evening. I love it being warm but my allergies and sinuses kick into high gear and make me miserable.

Day 114

Happy Easter!!
I hope everyone had a great Easter and the Easter Bunny treated you well. The Easter Bunny brought Nate a stuffed toy/book, some puffs, dried fruit, flip flops and clothes. He was thrilled..or something like that. We enjoyed a bit of time over Gma and Gpa's where Nate devoured Gma's breakfast casserole. I never thought he would have enjoyed it as much as he did. After that we went to Aunt Jacquie and Uncle Marty's where Mike and I stuffed our faces and Nate chilled with Uncle Marty. We exited so that Nate could come home and sleep and Mike cut the grass. Well, he cut half the grass then a storm rolled it. We still have a jungle out back. Maybe I'll take a picture of it so everyone can see. Nope, I just went to take a pic and it's too embarrassing to post.

Day 112

If you are looking for one of my happy, more upbeat blogs stop reading now.
I am a 26 year old married woman and a mother of a son. I am who I am because of the decisions I have made in my life. With that being said, I make my own decisions in my life. That includes the decisions of my family. I decide things like what we are eating for dinner (ok, sometimes I decide this). I also decide things that we buy or don't buy since I keep the finances in order. I also make decisions with my husband because thats what a marriage is about. I also back my husband up when he decides something (well there was this one time where he decided he wanted a paint ball gun in which I vetoed... rightfully so because he never went paint balling). What I am trying to say is that I am doing what is best for my family and only my family. If you don't like it, oh well.
People have come and gone in my life. If you have gone or if you were never really there to begin with, then be gone. I don't understand added interest in me or my family after a certain amount of time in not caring. Why is there added interest in my life now that we had a baby??

Day 111

So, Mike is on the computer I need to edit my pics. Why is he on that computer?? Well thats because my brother's friend Roger (ok his name isn't really Roger, its Jamie) wants us to burn him the P90x dvd's. Thats like 13 dvds or something crazy like that. Only he wants 3 copies of each...lol. It's ok though since making 3 only takes a little longer than doing 1. So long story short is I can't get on that computer right now.

Day 109

Today, on this 109th day of the Year 2011, my son turned 10 months old!!! I feel happy and sad and scared and overjoyed and...well you get the point. I didn't get around to doing his 10 month photo shoot but I will this weekend so be on the lookout for those sometime in the future. I did felt some soaps today and they look so awesome. I plan on adding them to my roster on Crazy Colorful Wools but I got busier than expected right at the beginning and did not get around to it as of yet. I did order some AHHHHHMAZING soaps from this company online. The smell so good that just opening the box filled the room with goodness. Every time Mike passes by the box he smells the soaps. Yummm!!!

Day 108

So what is the chance that Nate just got in 2 teeth last week and now his cheeks have been raw and he is gnawing on more stuff already. Could it be more teeth?? Will this kid catch a break?? He is turning 10 months old tomorrow...10 months! Crazy!!! I, semi unwillingly, started looking up some stuff for his 1st birthday. We have a theme and I have the majority of the things I need to order saved to my computer. Why do I feel like it was just yesterday when I got up off the couch and my water broke??

Day 107

My son is not afraid of the Easter Bunny. Who woulda thunk it?! He gladly sat with the Easter Bunny today for 5-10 minutes while waiting for the lady to take their picture. What a great kid. I'll upload a picture of the picture to FB later. Oh and Mike took one from his phone so I'll have him upload that one as well.

Day 106

You want to know what cool people do on a Saturday night?? They order Buffalo Wild Wings and watch Harry Potter. Jealous?? You know what is so funny about watching the Harry Potter movies with Mike? The fact that he has no idea what is going to happen because he has never read the books. He sits and speculates what is going to happen next and I just sit back and laugh. Would it kill the kid to pick up a book and read? Evidently! Anyway, this picture is so pathetic. I apologize in advance. I was literally laying in bed last night waiting for the weather portion of the news and I was like 'crap, I forgot to take my daily picture'. The picture was taken from my bed. I know, completely pathetic! I promise not to have too many of those in the future.

Day 105

Today, Julie and baby Lola came to visit with Nate and I. She is getting so big!! Nate was infatuated with Lola. It was adorable. Later on I send Mike out for some wine I had been wanting to try. He comes back with no less tan 3 bottles of wine. One of the many reasons why I married him. He feeds into my lushness!

Day 104

Sorry I am such a slacker recently. I have been so busy lately that I just don't have the time or energy to sit and write..pathetic, huh? Whatever. I usually love Thursday's for the tv lineup I usually watch. This past Thursday was pretty disappointing, though. American Idol was on and I have nothing much to say abut that. After that I usually watch Grey's Anatomy. But, like all my other shows ::insert One Tree Hill:: it was a rerun. How dare they! And then to top it off, I ususally watch Jersey Shore (don't judge me) and that ended a couple weeks ago. LAME!

Day 103

Nate loves tacos. Nate loves tacos. Nate loves tacos. Taco, taco, tacos. This is the song Mike and I sing to Nate that makes him smile and laugh so much. It really has no meaning behind it but the kid loves it so we sing it. Coincidentally, I found an "I love tacos" shirt on Etsy so I bought it. Today, Nate wore his shirt. I wonder if all this taco talking will make him despise tacos in the future. One can only hope not. And for the record, yes I cage my kid! There have been one too many close calls with him and my TV for me not too. =)

Rain rain go away!! How did we go from such a b-u-t-ful day yesterday to this cold/chilly/crappy day today. Yuck! I did get to work on some custom dryer balls that I had been telling my mom I would do. I wanted to try my hand at some decorative dryer balls to see how they would come out. Take a look and tell me what you think. These are for you, dad!

Day 101

Today was just a speck of greatness! 80+ degree weather had me craving summer like never before. There is something about this weather that makes me crave sun and grilled food. For the sun part, Nate and I spent some time outside today working on High-Five, which he is awesome at, and Yay, which is clapping. He is finally understanding how to clap. I'm so amazed at this little boy. For the food part, Mike and I had sausage, peppers and onions and chips for dinner. Fantastic meal!! Earlier today I received a UPS package today, which if you are my UPS man, is not unusual as he stops by multiple times a week. But, this was a package I wasn't ready for. It was my Scentsy. I ripped open the package, popped out ONE little cube and put it to work. Let me tell you that this thing was WELL WORTH THE MONEY!!! I am so impressed with the smells this thing is giving off!!! Anyway, I have word that April 23rd looks to be a big day for me and my business but I will know for sure as the time gets closer. The anticipation is killing me!

Day 100

Woohoo! Glad you could be with me on this 100th day of the year!!! Maybe I should have asked everyone to bring 100 of something. I'll bring 100 balls since that's all I play with all day...lol. So I just spent the majority of my evening redoing my website (though I'm sure you would never have noticed anything different). Oh and I'm sure that if you look at it tomorrow it will be different again because I just can't leave things alone. ::yawn:: Anyways, tomorrow I am sponsoring a giveaway at Dipeze and I'm pretty excited for the potential new clientele I will get. I, also, signed on to be a sponsor for Happenings of the Harper Household and she requested some blue and green dryer balls which came out AWESOME. I can't wait to send them to her. Keep your fingers crossed for me that I get some orders from these things.

Day 99

Ahhh, my engagement ring and my wedding ring are back on their owners fingers once again! And can I tell you that my hand has felt heavier since having the rings back on. Though, I swear I make stuff up some times. I wish I had more to say, but....I just don't. Can we just call this day a writer's block?? Kthxbye.

Day 98

So, I really hope the manufactures of cribs paint the cribs with safe non-toxic paint bc Nate goes to town chewing on his crib. We have officially said HELLO to tooth #7 and I see tooth #8 coming in too. This has turned my baby into a nomming machine...this includes his crib. I thought I would combat this by putting a teething cover over his railing. Nope! He just finds other places of the crib to chew on.

Day 97

So, Mike has pretty unusual hair and we knew that it was a big possibility that our kids would have his hair. My son may have my father's blue eyes but he has my husbands Brillo-pad type hair. I have noticed that his baby soft hair is getting coarser as the days go on. It is now to the point where if you pull it out it will stay like that. Which leads me into my daily photo where Nate has some pretty awesome bed head. Oh and can I just say that I love when he wakes up and he is all lovey dovey!!!

Day 96

On this 96th day of the year I have absolutely nothing profound to say. Nothing unusual about that, huh? I just placed my first Scentsy order from my friend Bernadette. So excited to get it. I have heard so many good things about it. The hardest part was picking from their cajillion different scents.
Oh and if you have a moment head on over to CrazyColorfulWools.com. Its a huge work in progress right now but I would love to hear your thoughts on it.
