addicted

1. hello. my name is kristi and i am a pf changs addict.

2. this was taken saturday. the people around us got a kick seeing kaylee with this gigantor piece of chocolate cake. and i have to be "r" rated here but it was the most delicious, almost orgasmic, most decadent, choc-o-riffic cake i have ever had and worth every penny.

3. we did a spur of the moment road trip to the toledo zoo on saturday. more on the zoo later but must say it was awesome!

4. this week is a busy one for me, besides my regular schedule kaylee and i have a dentist appointment on tuesday and i have an ears,nose, throat appointment on thursday. friday is kaylee's field trip but i'm hoping to get mike to go instead.

5. i think all retailers on-line should offer free shipping no matter what when your order is over $100.

6. the warmer weather is making me happy yet feeling more cabin feverish. still not warm enough for me to go and hang outside.

7. book 3 out of 4 is finished. today i go and get the 4th twilight book.

8. found an old college acquaintance on facebook. it was great to see that he has he same sense of humor as he did back in the day. {no i did not friends request him}

9. i love funny people. i love being around happy, funny people. it makes me want to be happy too.

10. so last friday i ending up coloring my hair a blackish/brown color. looks so much better and now i can quit tweezing all the white ones out.

word!

happy friday!

1. i entered this photo in the pioneer woman's feline contest. it probably won't win jack but i thought it was cool. i was there at the right time. the next photo after this, his heads down sleeping. so cute.

2. we got a two hour delay from school because of some "frog". too bad the "frog" can't stay and ham has no school.

3. i think i'm going to color my hair today or this weekend. need to wash that gray right outta my hair. remember the commercial? some of you might be too young for that one.

4. not sure if i'm all that excited to watch dancing with the stars now that i know who's going to be on it. {haven't we seen enough of her kate gosselin???} i think lance bass should of won for this performance but they didn't do it as their final dance.

5. i'm craving for a pizza. since last night. the good kind, not pizza hut or papa johns.

6. finished two out of four books of the twilight series.

7. even though i don't feel old, seeing my kids get older is making me realize that i am that old. and now i'm left wondering where did all those years go?

8. so we got my mother in law a kindel for her birthday. its a day after mike's. we're splitting the cost with the father in law. its the perfect gift for her really.

9. had a great evening wednesday. after dinner hamilton graced us with his presence for an hour or so even though all he did is bug us for a car that he found on-line that's $4000 over our maximum budget. ham makes weird noises when he's making fun of us and he made one similar to chewbucca and i called him out on it. it was super funny!

10. nothing too exciting going on this weekend. oh my little city...how i really don't like you.

this is my dining room. and this is where i am needing a new light fixture. i've been living with the wires hanging for almost a year now come may. i really love the way the dining room has turned out. it was a room i didn't have to paint either. gotta love that!

its hard to tell but the curtains match perfectly with the room. its got a little bit of the wall, table and mustard yellow colors in it. {in the hutch, i painted the shelves a mustard yellow and then covered the backing with black and white scrapbooking paper.}

anyway, i really love this light fixture from ikea. up close it looks like its made out of paper or some sort of really thin plastic. i love it and i love the price. under 100 bucks.

then i saw this fixture on a blog somewhere- sorry! can't remember whose.

and i love it too. this one's made out of metal, found on an etsy shop and it's on sale. i think it might be too small for our dining room and i am waiting to hear back from the seller but don't think thats going to happen. she would of emailed me by now i think. i'm thinking of buying it anyway and if its too small for the dining room maybe i will put it in my bathroom.

what are the odds?

that i find a quote that describes exactly how i feel at the exact time its going on?

weird wednesday

1. taken this morning. she's a funny girl. last night she got on her jammies and said, "booah got confused with me and alex, he thought i was her because we look alike."

2. booah is our pesky cat and alex is her american girl doll named after alex on wizard of waverly place.

3. ever wake up to mixed emotions? that's been me all week and its only wednesday. not that i don't appreciate my life but wish i had known what i wanted when i was younger and now i'm sad that my life is not at its full potential. {does that make sense?}

4. i made it through 75% of the book yesterday. today i'm going to pick up the 2nd and 3rd one to have on hand. they're an easy read. {the twilight series}

5. i'm craving for a fruit smoothie. i ran out of frozen fruit last week and forget to buy more. ice and fresh fruit is not the same.

5. been trying to work on this blog, getting it look all purrdy again but now i can't even get the font to change. grrrr!

6. kaylee and i played salon again yesterday. it was awesome! i painted her toes and fingers then she did my toes and my hair while i got to read. bad mom huh?

7. and yes, i have about 10 pounds i would love to lose! i just wear clothes that hide/or lessen the muffin top.

8. yeah! i should be getting this stamp and this stamp any day now. how awesome of bryn to donate $15.00 to haiti in my name.

9. and i'm really tempted to order a necklace from here or maybe just a charm with my initial on it or maybe the kids. i can't make up my mind. {i've posted about them before}

10. 12 days till the husband turns 33. w0000 33! {sarcasm} anyway, no clue as to what to get him.

chatty mood today

1. last thursday i told kaylee that we should be getting some happy mail. boy was she happy and surprised when the mail lady said it was for her!

2. keira from keira's adventure sent her some goodies- she's chomping on the gum in the pic., lots of stationary to send out mail with and a pretty calendar. kaylee loved the chandelier card too.

3. what was really neat was the interest kaylee showed with no prompting from me. she wanted to know what keira looked like, how old she was and where did she live. {i think they would be great friends if we lived closer. i know her mama and i would be :O)}

4. i am still recovering from the lack of sleep from the weekend. this morning, mike's alarm went off at 4:30. will i ever get a good solid 7-8 hours of sleep? {fighting hard to not take a nap}

5. i've been eating pretty healthy even over the weekend and am still continuing. need to really get back into shape and to lose these 10 pounds that i've recently gained.

6. loving the sun thats been shining lately. even saw that on sunday its suppose to get up to 50 degrees. come on spring!

7. i had mike grill out some chicken last night for dinner. we both can't wait for warmer weather so we can eat dinners out on the patio again.

8. i think the flower budget will go towards flowers for the patio this year. i want to make it pretty and cozy.

9. had a nice and funny chat with a boy i use to babysit on face book last night. ok, he's no longer a boy- he's only 6 years younger than i and he's married. my mom use to babysit him when he was a baby. i babysat him when he was about 10 then my sister took over and babysat him and his little brother.

10. mike had the house cleaned when i got home sunday so there really isn't much for me to do. looks like a good day to start reading the twilight book. yes, i went and picked it up yesterday.
