Midweek Confessions

I love to read books and always declare that I don't have time. Truth? I do have time, but I spend it reading blogs and emails and checking facebook instead of reading the many books on my to do list.

True bible thumper


I read a biography about JFK this week and was surprisingly into it (ironic when you think about point number one isn't it?) but the reason this is a confession is because I really only read it to find out more about the scandalous life he was rumored to have and not so much about the politics. I do like history though; I just get sick of the war talk... even though yes I know it is a part of history blah blah blah

Nothing important happened before I was born. Don't forget that.


I get inspired about every other week to go to a thrift store, adopt a worn out piece of junk furniture, fix it up, and give it a place in our home. I have never actually done this. All of you creative bloggers out there just make it so tempting! Maybe someday when I have more time (ha like that will ever happen).

Did you hear that, Buck? She thinks she's creative
I wish it was still cool to wear lipstick. How nice would it be to just throw some lipstick on and call it good when trying to look presentable? Plus hot red is just so... classic.

Mom said I could wear her lipstick anytime...
I had like 6 diet cokes this weekend which is three times my normal consumption of diet coke... a week... isn't that so healthy of me? What is water again? If only you knew how gross our hard water is where I live. It's just. not. good. Sure, I can make it super cold and put some lemon in it, but every single glass? That would be so much work... diet coke is just so much easier.

This is me on diet coke. Jump jump jump jump jump jump...

Linking up... there are tons of other confessions to read!

Pretty in Pink



Good morning world! Its still a blustery snowy white world but instead of moping we'll just wear our prettiest pink and prettiest bow. Well, those of us under the age of twelve months. The rest of us are stuck wearing black argyle wih a sock bun and no bow. Who said growing up was fun?

Hope your Monday Tuesday is fabulous! (blogger fail on Monday so reposted on Tuesday... :) )

Much anticipated video

Mom put it in upside down.


No problem, she'll just flip it around.


Oh that's too much work. It's fine this way.



And finally! I found my camera. It may or may not have been in my purse the whole time. I do recall seeing it  in there all weekend, but it never crossed my mind that hours before I was searching everywhere for it. It never fails! My mind is always doing too many things at once I guess.

So here you go. The first video is from this weekend. She will go after Buck's bones like they are candy, so all I have to do to get her moving is put one on the other side of the room. But...then I have to run ahead of her and grab it! Incentive is good and all, but let's be real. That's gross.


Video #2 was just tonight. She was getting tired and her movement is a lot less precise when she's ready for bed. Can't you tell? She really cracks me up. I think she really loves the camera too, because she just stares as soon as she sees it pointing at her. My little diva...

Let's review, shall we?


  • I don't have fun pictures from this weekend because my camera is MIA. I'm sure it will turn up...eventually.
  • It snowed and snowed and snowed today and while it was so pretty with a winter wonderland feel, It was not fun to walk in with heels on, coffee spilling on my hand, and a heavy baby car seat on my other arm. Good thing she's cute...
  • Church was almost two hours long today. We got to hear a couple of testimonies from soon to be elders and the pastor still gave his message and I listened, absorbed, and loved every minute of it. 
  • Josie is crawling. She is sitting. She is chattering. She is holding her bottle (sometimes). She is just growing up too. darn. fast!
  • I didn't eat very good this weekend. I didn't eat real meals, but I sure did snack. Oh hi there, gym, how are you? Let's be best friends this week!
  • Another thing that I am looking forward to once I lose some weight besides wearing my wedding ring again (so close, but so far away!) and having a bigger smile and eyes is buying dresses to wear at work and at home for all season. I love love love wearing dresses or skirts and hope to one day have them be the majority in my closet!
  • I'm in a smoothie kind of mood this week. Every day for lunch. I'm excited.
  • Tonight I'm going to put oil on my face instead of face wash. Curious?
  • I watched a lot of tv this weekend. Why? Because Josie is at an age where she is too busy to notice me. Seriously, she could care less about me and my attempts to play with her! Its kind of funny, and I don't mind it so much since I know that in not such a long time she will be wanting me to play with her all of the time. 
  • I haven't painted my toenails all winter... sometimes it's just refreshing to have that all natural look, don't you think? (Don't worry, legs are still shaved. Not that  natural around here!)
