*please do not let her know i posted this!

yesterday was kristi day

my delicious 4 layer chocolate cake and flowers from trader joes

1. even though i bought the flowers down in indy on wednesday, i said they were my birthday flowers.

2. the family surprised me with this beautiful cake from b on the river. [a local cafe]

3. and they surprised me with a japanese elm bonsai that i have to grow from seeds and a about mom book. [ham thought the bonsai was cool and kaylee's digging the book about me.]

4. the book asks questions like where i grew up, how big was the house, what was my favorite movie. a keepsake to share with my grandkids someday.

5. and to top off the great kristi day celebrations- it was like 80 degree's!

6. i had mike cook-out for my birthday dinner. it was awesome because we got to talk to ham. he said we're probably the 2nd strictest parents he knows.

7. we had to tell him its because we care and want to see him succeed. [age 18-22/24 are the years he's either going to make it or break it]

8. of course we want him to have fun yet show that he is responsible like coming home on time etc...

9. so last night and tonight, he's been home 10-15 minutes before curfew.

10. i don't feel old till i look at both of my kids. i can't believe i have an 18 year old and a 6 year old.

1. totally could of used this quote today. wanted to dress more "me" but mike told me not too.

2. went to stray dogs today for a late lunch. we met up with my in-laws. think they're becoming our best friends.

3. can't wait to go out with my bitches next saturday. in desperate need for a mom's night out.

4. wishing spring break was 2 weeks long instead of 1.

5. i've got jury selection at 8:15AM monday. HELLO???!!! i have a kid that needs to get on the bus!

6. saw an old friend who got her boobs done about 2 years ago. her body looks hawt! makes me consider getting mine done and some lipo too.

7. been searching for some summer/hawaii clothes but it just depresses me.

8. kaylee + poppop were goofing around and she kicked him. she said see ya later gimp! [i told her to say that and it was funny]

9. super disappointed with canvas people. this is the 2nd or 3rd time they're not able to do a canvas for me which i don't understand. i sent them a hi-res photo of my grandparents.

10. happy that the warmer weather is finally coming around.

it's only friday night!

kaylee + i with our new hair-do's

1. please ignore that weird look on my face- bad angle! [that's my story and i'm sticking to it!]

2. kaylee's addicted to the hair salon now. she's ready to go back.

3. i would be too at her age except back in my day my mom kept getting my sister and i ko-fro's. [korean afro's via here]

4. finally got my camera today. charging it up as we speak.

5. i think i finally got the family room the way i like it. [been moving furniture around for months or for the past 2 years we lived here. give or take]

6. not that the nuggets been bad or anything but i think i'm ready for a little break.

7. that girl talks non-stop! unless we're around people we don't know which isn't often.

8. yesterday we went through our list of friends to go to shipshe with us but came up with no one. by 1:30PM, kaylee had bugged me enough into going ourselves.

9. so from my pretzel dipped in nutella to all my eating today, i feel like a stuffed pig.

10. which means my losing 2lbs a week will have to turn to 4lbs.

hawaii made me do it

finally took the plunge and ordered it last night. patiently(??) waiting of its arrival. [got cheap overnight shipping : )]

girls trip

kaylee eating her breakfast this morning

1. i am tired. like so tired that if ham or mike were home, i would be going to bed.

2. we had an awesome time shopping. on our way down to ft. wayne we saw some snow.

3. kaylee and mike both got new "swimsoups". [i got hers on sale]

4. we ate dinner at the resturant at the hotel. it wasn't very good. then we went swimming and hot tubbing.

5. i slept awful. there was traffic and weird noises and we left ham home alone overnight for the first time!

6. then kaylee and i left for indianapolis after mike went to work. we got down there before the mall opened so i stocked up at trader joes.

7. i went to anthropologie and got 2 more mini mugs, 4 more mini bowls for my collection and two candles though i wish i had gotten more.

8. i also got some underwears and "liploss" for me and kaylee.

9. after shopping, we ate lunch at pf. changs.

10. kaylee was an excellent shopping companion. the only complaint from her was that her feet hurt. after all that shopping-mine did too!

we're on SPRING BREAK!

my dream home via pinterest via here.

1. i'm cracking the working the stick on mike. i want this to be my home someday : )

2. and i love this west elm chair. i was going to buy me one till i saw the price tag. [i really want two of them]

3. and in a nutshell/shel and stone are my new blog couple crush. total california types- jealous!

4. i finished our book club selection at 2:45AM tuesday morning. i loved it so much i went and got and finished her other book tuesday night.

5. going down to ft. wayne today. mike's working down there so we thought we would give him a visit. [we're on spring break with nothing to do]

6. tomorrow kaylee and i will go down to indy for the day. anthropologie sent me a little discount card and i just gotta use it.

7. i didn't do my usual april fool's prank on mike. he was expecting my "i'm pregnant" phone call. [i've gotten him with that for the past 9 years?]

8. ham got me though texting me that he was in school when he really wasn't. school skipper.

9. saturday we met up with mike's bff + family for some pizza and bowling.

10. speaking of pizza, we went to hotbox on sunday and to our surprise- the lovely robinson's walk in!
