Wardrobe malfunctions

I was so crabby yesterday. All day, super crabby. If there were awards for crabbiness, I would have won hands down. I thought maybe it was because we were swamped at work and I was running out to see client's all day. Or the fact that I haven't had more than five hours of uninterrupted sleep in months. Or that Laverne is in town and she's such a pain in the ass lately. Nope, wasn't any of those things.

When I got home from work I discovered that I'd had my underwear on backwards all day. Easy way to make you the Crabby Queen.

Today I'm only mildly crabby, due to an uncomfortable sports bra and a dumb pair of pants that keep falling down. Almost makes me wish it was winter so I could just tromp around in a big fleece snowsuit. Uggh.

I'm going to blame some of the crabbies on the lack of baby K updates too.

Nothing too exciting going on. Might make it to the fair tomorrow with Heath and E and the kids. Taking Jboy and Mandy to see Superbad tomorrow night and then having a sleep over with Mandy. Which will hopefully involve lots of ice cream and pizza and toenail polish and gossip. All the girlie stuff. Oh, and Jboy is supposed to finally buy his laptop this weekend with the help of his Aunt Jenny.

And then school starts. We'll have a house full of crabbies.

Jboy has a new little brother

Cole Alexander was born on Sunday. He was tiny, under seven pounds, but thankfully all healthy.

Princess party, Nolan and more

Mandy's birthday party was last weekend. Princess theme and then some. She rented one of those huge bounce houses and a snocone machine. Very fun and look!, my boys were good sports and dressed up. Well, we all wore crowns, guess you can't really see Macaroni's. Davey and Hol in the second photo.

Bonus photos of Nolan and Ruby cause they're just so freaking cute!

Husband of the Century!

I babysat the adorable Nolan last night and was chatting with Heath and E when they dropped him off. And, much to MasterCard's delight, E actually talked Heath into going to Europe with me this winter. I take back everything I've ever said about husbands. Although E (and my other "H" friend's husband Lannie) never really fell into the "why on Earth would anyone want a husband" category. He rocks.



So now, two years after the first trip, we're planning another impulsive trip to see my imaginary boyfriend Ewan McGregor!



Now if we can just get KK's mom to join us...

Look how hot Joss is.

I think this is my all time favorite photo of him. He's on the far right, but just in the photo. Equality Now Annual Report.

10 days in

So I'm ten days into my little financial diet/self improvement experiment, aka "let's try to shrink Sunny's ulcer!", aka "another excuse to rewatch Buffy", and so far all I've managed to do is keep to my one tea from Starbucks pledge and watch all of BtVS Season One.

But I've also preordered this



because it'll look so pretty next to this

on my shelf, and invited everyone I know to go see Waitress with me this week at the Riv and I've ordered groceries, twice. Absolutely no self control.


I also took Jboy and Mandy back to school shopping yesterday. We sponsor kids every year, filling backpacks with school supplies. We managed to keep the spending in check, with the exception of a $68 hoodie that Jboy couldn't live without. Even though he has about 15 hoodies already. And I think we've eaten out almost every other day since the first. I so need a personal assistant to run my life.

Worst of all, I'm pretty sure that for every 10 calories I've burned on that stupid @$%$# exercise machine I've eaten 50 calories of chocolate pudding. Usually immediately after getting off the little torture device.

Wish me luck.

My doppleganger

Is it still a doppleganger if it's just the same name? Anyhoo...

I'd like to think I'd be this brave too, but she's amazing. All of the rescue workers are amazing. Wish my tax dollars would have been spent to repair bridges instead of going to pay for a billionaire's new stadium. Uggh.

The bestest day ever!

Happy Birthday KK!

Can't believe it's been two years





Another reason it's a bestest day ever...Mary was not on the bridge! She was up in Benson with her niece and nephew. Poor girl is going to come home to a dozen voicemail messages.
