Is she serious?

Have you ever been so bored that you want to pull out your eyelashes for entertainment? Answer= Yes for me!

I don’t understand why I bother putting on mascara by the end of the day it is no longer on my eyes but all over my desk. Don't judge me! I am not supposed to surf the internet even though that "guideline" doesn't seem to apply to me on most days. So what else is there for me to do with no one traveling?
I am sitting here at work....Not working and wishing there was something, anything for me to do. Hmmm... Why not blog and break one of the "guidlines"?

I wish I was lucky enough to win the lottery so I could stay home with my daughter. Cuz that’s what it will take for me to be able to get out of debt. Why oh' why can I not be creative enough to create an amazing invention that the world just could not live with out? I would be able to be home or at the park with my daughter or have spa appointments on a regular basis. Play hide and seek and ring-o-round the rosies with bella all day. Isn't that the point of having kids so you can play with them all day, not go to stupid work!

Well that is enough of me complaining about how things are not going for me because there are bigger issues at hand….

JAMES GOT A NEW JOB!!
We have been hoping for this new job for months and life delayed it. So me being the cheesy and poor girl that I am decided I need to do something HUGE to show my support for my husband. That would not cost an arm and leg.....My options? Take him to dinner? No, no money. Take him on an exotic vacation to celebrate? No, Definitely no money.... He has been craving cinnamon rolls…NO ME=STILL FAT can’t have that in the house. (A little selfish on my part, but you know what ever) Okay CB at work suggested, "what if I brought him beer and roses?" HAHA guys don’t like roses and well let’s face it, the beer would just end up me, trying to push him off all night. (Again another selfish response) So what could I do that would show my husband I support and love him and would tell him how truly amazing he really is….

A Candy poster!!

Ya James thought it was lame too. He said that it looked like I was asking him to prom. Ok so maybe I am not as much of a domesticated godess as I would like to think. I am not very creative and that’s all that I could come up with so quickly.
Don’t take into account that I left a few candy bars out. I was in a hurry and also did not write it in the cutest hand writing. I was hoping to get it done before he got home but he had to be all antsy in his pantsy and get home on time and so I sent him on a mission to go get dinner and tried to hurry and throw it all together before he got back. He walked in while I was just finishing it up and it didn’t create the full affect I was going for. Oh well maybe I will find something more special to celebrate the next big adventure life brings our way.

Just incase you can't read my adorable card it says:

"Hey NERD,

I wanted to take you to a SYMPHONY and spend 100 GRAND on you. But unfortunatly all I can do for my BIG HUNK is give you a BIT O HONEY and congratulate you for not being an AIR HEAD. Who knows... you might even SKOR tonight. Love your SWEETTART. PS.... I am so proud of the MOUNDS of accomplishments you have made in your life!"

I did buy some sugar babies for another joke but he walked in and kinda ruined the whole cuteness-suprise of it all. Whatever, better luck next time, right?

A new baby?.....Maybe

No I do not have a bun in the oven..... not yet anyway! I just found this website on one of the blogs I "stalk" and thought it was funny.

I was so curious to know what Bella would look like before she made her debut and if I would have seen this before I got pregnant... well lets just say, I would not be having babies EVER.
The first kid kinda does have a resembelence to bella with the nose and the cheeks. ( I dont know whats wrong with it's lips though!)

I tried it twice just to see if it would make a difference....Either way they are both pretty scary looking! The second one is just horrible, I dont understand what's wrong with it's chin.

Do blondes like really have more fun?

A never ending battle between me and my hair. I can never decide if I want to be a blonde or if I want dark hair.

So I am going to the public for answers. I need you bitches to be honest and tell me what hair-do makes my face look lesser disgusting! I have an appointment with the most amazing hair dresser in Utah tomorrow.
*These are old pictures but, you get the idea.

Job market.

I am still feeling like this is so going to be me one day...soon... actually it was just to funny not to share. Make sure you pause my music so you can hear all of it.

R.I.P

I bought these shoes about 5 years ago, maybe even longer. They were cheap shoes but in those years, we had a loving relationship. I took care of them and they took care of me. Well this summer they got very sick and well it is time to put them down. The metal started to show on the heel, they started to get a little wobbely and I knew the end was near but I just couldn't come to terms with it. (you never want to admit someone you love is sick) So I continued to wear them and well...... They let me down....Literally when I fell because the heel broke. (insert tears here)

James threw them in the garbage for me this morning becuase I just didn't have the heart to do it. Well you had a good run shoes and I will remember the good times.

Who wants to go shoe shopping?!?!

Baby to Toddler in 60 seconds.....

I have been noticing that I don't have a baby any more and in fact she is a TODDLER!

As scary as that word is, She makes me laugh everyday!

She is like a little sponge, She soaks up everything lately and she wants to be a BIG GIRL.

(my purse and James' shoes)
She is in the phase where she does everything we do! (not a great idea bella)
She carries her purse around, or mine and she wont continue with what she was doing with out her little cell phone. She either see's me with my phone all the time or is a total girl...No both!

I now realize I need to watch my mouth when she is around because she is starting to talk very well and I am going to mighty embarrased when she calls someone at the grocery store a bad word!
She is my pride and joy, I find her so funny!
I still can not believe she is mine. It's amazing how fast she is growing and talking back!

She didn't get her attitude from me.....

Marital Bliss

HaPpY AnNiVeRsArY BaBy!

1 year ago I married my best friend.
I put together a list of all the things I love about you. Even though we have only been married 1 year I think we should get some credit for the 8 years that we have been together.

Thank you for being a great husband and a great dad. You are an amazing man and I know that I can always count on you. I look forward to 50 more years with you by my side.

• I love how much you’ve taught me about life and myself
• I love The fact that you are good at fixing things or putting things together by hand
• I love You don’t make me take out the stinky garbage, especially Bella’s diaper bin
• I love Your loyalty to me and everyone or everything that matters to you
• I love When I get hurt you don’t laugh at me until I laugh, even when I fall down the stairs in Mexico
• I love Your compassion for everyone around you
• I love The fact that there is nobody else in the world like you and nobody will ever come close
• I love Your vast knowledge about everything
• I love The annoying fact that you are right 90+% of the time
• I love The amazing new experiences that I’ve shared for the first time with you
• I love How you always tell me and show me everyday how much you love me
• I love How you sometimes give up things you’ve wanted just for my benefit
• I love Your extreme patience with me even when I push it to the limit sometimes
• I love Your determination and conviction and how once you set your mind on something that nobody can change it
• I love How every winter you will wake up a few minutes early just to clean the snow off my car
• I love Every little single detail about you that makes you who you are and the fact that you are the best husband in the whole world
• I love How no matter what I need, you always find a way to give it to me
• I love You always help me with my car
  
  The fact is, this list was so easy to write, but also so hard because I had to limit it (to keep the readers from vomiting) I can think of at least a million plus reasons why I love you and why I am the luckiest woman in the world. I have everything I have always wanted and it's all because for some crazy reason, you choose me.

Now that's a Bunko!

My friend Dava decided it would be a good idea to do Bunko once a month.

What is a Bunko you ask?

bun·co also bun·ko (bung' ko)n. pl. bun·cos, also bun·kos

1. A swindle in which an unsuspecting person is cheated; a confidence game.
2. A parlor game played in teams with three dice.
3. A winning throw in the above game; three of a kind of a specified number. [Probably alteration of Spanish banca, card game, from Italian banca, bank, of Germanic origin.].

Strictly speaking, Bunco is a game of dice, played in rounds. Players take turns rolling the dice and trying to accumulate as many points as possible to win each round. The game is played at tables of four in competing teams of two.

Now I'm going to tell you the truth...

Bunco is a social event... It's a party... It's a blast!

16 of us get together once a month, leaving the cares and worries behind, and leaving the kids with their fathers or baby-sitters.

My beautiful sister being silly!

We fall off our diets, snacking on M&Ms, Chex-Mix, or anything else we can get our hands on. We have appetizers, a delicious dinner, and seconds on dessert. We drink our favorite spritzer, Chardonnay, or Drink-of-the-night, and we talk.
We talk about our kids. About the neighbors. About anyone who didn't show up. About our husbands, our jobs, their jobs, the builder in our community, TV shows, current events, and anything else that might tickle our fancy.

Oh yeah, and we play a silly, mindless dice game with wild abandon, hoping to take home a few more sheckles then we arrived with.

We have only had one game so far but hopefully it will continue. It was fun and a good way to meet new homies.

My sister Jana, Her sister in-law and I all were the big WINNERS! (well 3 out of 4 winners) I never win! I was a little shocked at my Bunko skills. Beginners luck perhaps!

Have to be honest here, we ROCK!

Skinny Mission 101

I WANT TO BE A BIG LOOSER!

(who's with me?!?!)

The below picture is a sketch of me.

Yes I understand that I look hideous, that's why I am going on a diet/working my fat ass off.

I need support/suggestions from friends, family, bloggers, or maybe just anyone that will pay attention.

So in order to complete my mission,

There will be less of this:

And more of this:

I am going to join the gym this week. I am typing it so that I actually have to stay true to my word and just bite the bullet and do it!

I am going to jump on the scale tonight and be honest with myself how ridiculous I have become. I have made enough excuses for myself and now I need to do hard time.
So does anyone know of looser recipes? tricks? excersizes? Besides the obvious of what I really need to do, starve myself or pulling and ashley olsen! I love food to much to do that. The reason I ask for recipes is because I have no idea how to cook with out using chesse, bacon or both!

I will randomly type my progress because by the end of my mission I am going to look fantastic!!You will be able to watch the thousands of pounds fall off!
