Favorite New Blog Ever!

(Thanks to Jen, I am getting nothing done at work!)



I think you can click on that button and it'll take you there. Anyways, I am in LOVE with this blog. She is so inspirational! It makes me want to take a month off of work to refurbish dressers, make quite books, sew up an portable fabric high chairs, finally use my Martha Stewart glitter for good and not evil by making her awesome glitter wreath, get me some of those super duper cute flower headbands made up, construct a car cozy caddy (since I'm fairly certain Sidney will have toy cars. Lots of toy cars.) and bake yummy fluffy pink cupcakes! I LOVE HER!! And somewhere she mentioned the Blue Bayou Monte Cristo Sandwich, and I have been thinking about that stupid sandwich for a week. I swear, as soon as I reach my goal weight, I'm going to Disneyworld and ordering one of those bad boys!

I'm Keeping This FOREVER!

I have this really unfamilliar urge- it think it's to clean. I mean, empty- out-the house-and-only-bring-in-the-stuff-I-can-use kinda clean. Or maybe it's a side effect from watching Hoarders: Buried Alive. Have you SEEN that show? I'm gonna be the old crazy lady with 838 hats (not cats- I'll never have more than three- learned that lesson the hard way), I just know it! You have to HULU this lady- she auctually bought the house next to her so she could hoarde more things! What tipped me off that I may actually be a hoarder was watching her shop- for instance, when her daughters come into town, they immediately go shop for gaudy rings at the pawn shop, and for some reason, I thought that sounded like a LOT of fun! (??!) Which now makes me want to go antiquing this weekend. And completely kills that urge to clean.

Dude- When Do They Stop Growing??

Brand New-

Last Week-

Progress

So. Hungry.
Can't. Type....

I forgot my Nutrigrain bar this morning. WHYYYYYYY???

But in related news, I am down 4 pounds since beginning last week! I'll take that. AND thats with one night out with friends (one night out with friends=3 stout vodka drinks) and eating breakfast at Mullins once. For those that don't know, Mullins is our 'greasy spoon', and NOTHING there is safe to eat if your goal is not to gain a zillion pounds.

Unsolicited Advice

(Borrowing from one of my favorite BBC boards)

Unsolicited advice to the guy in the McDonalds coffee commerical who tells everyone to quit talking to him because he hasn't had his coffee-

I advise you to shut up with that mess and invest in a coffee pot.
If you EVER said that to me, I'd slap that stupid smirk off your face, then I'd pour scalding hot coffee down your pants.

Ask Brian, I did that to him last Tuesday. True story.

Babyfood Makin' FOOL

I love that for less that $5 I made at least two weeks worth of baby food- that's breakfast and dinner. It's so easy! I used www.wholesomebabyfood.com for ideas and how to's, so if you are interested, go check it out!

Edited to add:
Aww! What gives! It cut my pretty blender full of mushed peas out... I'll fix it. Eventually.

The Lean Cuisine Diet

Ok now, this is Brian's brainchild- and I admit I scoffed a little at it, but I'm actually coming around to the idea of it. The plan is to eat a Nutrigrain bar and a wholefruit in the morning, a Lean Cuisine and some more fruit for lunch, and a Lean Cuisine for dinner. And of course, tons of water. I'm convinced I'd drink a lot more water if I had one of those aluminium water bottles like all the cool kids have. And for the fact that I like to pronounce it like the English do- Al-yoo-mini-um. Makes me feel fancy. Say it with me- ALUMINIUM! See, wasn't that fun??
ANYWAYS- So I'm on day 5 of this diet and so far so well. I'm down two lbs, and that's awesome considering that I have added a big bag of salty buttery popcorn and a tall glass of cherry flavored Kool Aid as my nighttime snack as I watch King of the Hill before bedtime. Honestly, I could eat about four of those frozen meals, but that right there was a wake up call that told me I obviously don't understand portion size, and eating for two is no longer a valid excuse for me:(

Now For The Real Stuff

Enough with the mindless posts from earlier.

So, first I'd like to thank you for stopping by- this is not my first attempt at a blog, but it is my first attempt at blogging from the heart (insert big "Awww!") and posting about things that are near and dear to me. Prepare to see lots of baby pictures. I just like to throw that out there because I know not everyone is a fan of 235,463,435 baby pictures. So just a warnin' to yeh! (I said that in my best Carl Childers voice)

What you can look forward to seeing, besides said baby pictures, will be the most awesome craft projects the web tutorial goddesses have to offer, lots of "How-I-Do"'s (I won't go as far as to call them "How-To"'s because I hate following directions.), and last but not least, lots of corny jokes. Cause it's what I do.

I can't change the text color in the main photo. I've tried everything I could.

The end.


EDIT:
I outsmarted you, Blogger.com! Where's my cookie?

Good Morning

Holy crap! Creating a blog is tough work.
