Thursday's The Bomb!

-


Thursday was such a fun day. Part of me wishes every day could be as perfect as yesterday. Parker came over to watch the kids so Lisa and I could finish my errands. I'm not a shopper and so when I do get out, I like to get everything done in one shot. Anyway, after the notary, lots of returns, and block buster, we had our favorite potato soup at Salt Grass. Yummy!



Afterwards we headed over to Hobby Lobby for some decor brainstorming for her new house. Flower stems where half off so I got everything to finish up a center piece for my kitchen table. (I got the "vase" last week.) I'm not a pro at flower arranging by any stretch of the imagination, but I put my anal symmetry to work and here's how it turned out.



That night, we went to see the Fray and had a blast! However, I will admit that it's the first time I've ever felt old. When we were walking in I overheard a girl ask this guy if he was a Sophomore. I turned to Lisa and said, "I think she means Sophomore in High School!" It was a really weird experience. My birthday is in September so I've always been the youngest for everything. I got married young and my friends as an adult have always been older than me. So I hadn't felt that yet and I'm excited to announce that it was pretty great! I'm 31 and finally felt my age. Woohoo!



I have such a sweet tooth! That's why I enjoy the Closer so much on TNT because she's a sweet eater just like me. :) Here's me indulging in some cotton candy while rocking out to the Fray.



Lisa got a churro and, as usual, was the life of the party! She rocks! She left this morning and I'm sad. It'll probably be two weeks before I can guilt trip her into making the 4 hour drive, leave her honey, and stay with me again. (Sigh!)

In the meantime you lucky ducks can check her freakin' hilarious blog, click here. Some of it is making fun of me, so enjoy! I'm sure I gave her a lot of material this week - our family is so quirky and crazy. I must say, I love seeing us through her eyes. She makes the tough moments knee slapping.

I am the same way. I never feel old. But then I walk pass a mirror and then I realize that I am not young any more. OH well.
Have a great day :)

Ditto, Birthday Buddy! That whole Sept thing makes me feel like I'm never old enough. I TOTALLY don't get this whole obsession with turning 30. Who cares? I can't WAIT for 35. In Mormon world, most people have 3 or 4 kids by 30, so isn't it about time they turned 30? That's what I think, anyway...

Your centerpiece looks so great. LOVE it.

How was the Fray in concert? I love them. And yes, I do feel old, too. Sad, but true.

You got to see the FRAY??????

I really wanted to see them on tour, but they just don't fit my schedule this year. And to make matters so much more tragic, they are currently touring with EISlEY, my favorite girl band like EVER! (Did you get to see them by chance?)

Anyway, you do not look 31 or seem old at all, but I know what you're talking about. I overheard someone in one of my classes saying that they were born in 1988. Geez, I clearly remember that year. :)

The Fray Concert was awesome! They played Shakira's 'Hips Don't Lie' song and had the drummer talk through the verses and it was hillarious! I checked and you can see it on You Tube.

I had the best time hanging with you and I'll try to keep the teasing to a minimum on my blog ;) See you in 2 weeks!

Blogging 101 - What Not To Do

Since I just did a post to welcome a bunch of new bloggers, I thought I'd give our newbies some good tried and true: Blogging 101 -What NOT to do! Yes, this is unsolicited advice from yours truly, but I think it's about time someone addresses the issues. #1. Don't get green with envy , Blenvy it's coined, while reading other's blogs. According to CJane , "It usually comes from reading a blog that emphasizes my insecurities." Well said blogger guru. I couldn't agree with you more. Please remember that each post is just a moment of that person's day/week. Instead, just be happy that something amazing happened to your fellow blogger. Be inspired by them! If you really feel the need, use that insecurity to make a change in your own life and do something similar. #2. If people don't update their blog roll by adding your name under 'Friends & Family' don't get your feelings hurt . It's simply a nice gesture, forgotten. Seasoned b...

Craft Closet Make Over

-

I've finally done it. After 2 years of living in this house, I've finally finished organizing the last closet in my home. This is the guest room closet that doubles as my "craft" closet. You could barely consider it a walk-in closet, but with 2 new shelves my man built for me over the weekend, it's got just enough space for what I need. Closet Before Closet Before - complete chaos ! After - view from hall (I used a different camera because mine is still broken. It was so hard to get these pics the space is so small. I hope you can get the idea.) Small shelf with hanging space for guests clothes - just above the door that goes to the attic. I spray painted 2 of these tins pink and glued flowers onto the other 3. Top Shelf Middle, 2 new shelves that Jason made and I painted white. I added these "curtains" to cover the other white bins and to make the space less messy. I used 2 tension rods and they open up in the middle. I was inspired by this craft room ...

I can't believe it, as of Tuesday, I have been blogging for one year! On the outside not much has changed: I have 3 boys, live in the same house, my man has the same job, and I still go to Mavens, book club, and dinner club with the same fab friends. But in reality a lot has changed: * Davis has braces * Davis is now medicated * Dylan has been diagnosed with ADHD and is now medicated {{a hit to my ego}} * Finished Mommy & Me gymnastics with Drake * Drake is talking a little * Drake is in a big boy bed - although still not sleeping through the night * Jason's going to school to get his MBA * Executive Homemaker which took over a year to design and 5 years as a concept is 15 months old and has 2,333 members and growing at a rate of 300+ new members every month. * Executive Homemaker's online store has grown from three to 26 Mom- prenuers ! * Tip Junkie is 11 months old * My house is a little prettier and more organized * My Dad is divorced * My brother Scott came home...
