[friday] uncool/cool

one of my favorite flowers 

via whatever

UNCOOL:

1. its only been a month since my last hair color and roots are showing big time.

2. that peonies will not grow here in texas though i'm thinking i should bring one back with me this summer and grow it in a pot.

3. the nakedness my backyard feels since we cut down that magnolia tree.

4. eye allergies

5. having to break up with andre. told him it wasn't him but me. [my personal trainer and we have 2 sessions left]

COOL:

1. surviving 2 days in a row working out with andre. [my abs hurt when i laugh and my legs are really tired]

2. andre telling me i'm one of his favorite clients because i say some of the funniest stuff. [like how mike doesn't snore, he vapor locks]

3. watching the we're the millers' trailer.

4. e.l.f. make-up brushes. super soft and super cheap! [they're compatible to my bobbi brown brushes- thats how soft they are and 99% cheaper!]

5. i don't wear a lot of make-up when i work out but when i do, i wear this eyeliner that i got from birch box a few months ago. [i usually just put on a light eyeshadow and eyeliner to make them look bigger and a cream blush since i sweat a lot]

lessons learned

 before

after- do you notice whats missing?

1. that before pic is the only one i could find with our magnolia tree.

2. in the after photo, the magnolia tree got cut down because mike was sick of picking up all its leaves everyday of the year. seriously, that tree shed like a sasquatch filling two large trash bags almost every other day.

3. we will definitely be planting another tree in its place because it makes our yard feel naked and to help hide our neighbor's ugly house. who knew it would create such a large, open space?

4. i had yet another fun phone call experience with my almost 39 year old sister yesterday.

5. i called her to shoot the shit as they say.

6. i could tell she was getting irritated when i told her i wouldn't have time to meet her in downtown houston today. [workout, tree guys, a/c guys then pick up kaylee, etc...]

7. then she really got mad and hung up on me because we didn't take the time out of our schedule to see her at her house last time we visited indiana. we got to see everyone at mom's house for a cookout.

8. but i guess that wasn't/isn't good enough for her. i guess i won't be calling her anytime soon or ever. [why should i if i keep getting hung up on?]

9. back to better things. andre was back and i was happy to see him. [he was out for a week due to a back injury]

10. then he had me do heavy leg lifts and stomach crunches and i wasn't so happy any more. just kidding- i was glad he was back.

lady bugs

1. i had my nail tech put a lady bug on my thumb yesterday. it turned out super cute. [she did it free hand and no, she's not asian. i am so i can make fun.]

2. garden club luncheon was good but not for the money we payed. so two of us made fun on how much the food actually cost. [it was chicken salad in two cored apples, sweet potato chips over a bed of lettuce with a clump of grapes. for dessert, it was creme brulee that was runny.

3. i am now in charge of membership- whatever that means.

4. i felt pretty today. i actually did my make-up and wore a strapless maxi dress i got in hawaii 2 years ago. i wore a top over it so i could wear a bra.

5. kaylee woke us last night telling mike he could get a total of 5 tickets and he only needed two left. [sleep walking type thing]

6. then she came back 5 minutes later and just stood there so mike asked her what she needed and she said "i just want a hug".

7. it was so cute and funny because it reminded us of when ham did the same thing around her age, asking what are the 5 things in pudding and how do you pull up carpet? [he made dirt pudding in school and we were pulling up carpet in the kitchen]

8. kinda sad ham goes back to school this weekend. its been fun having him home.

9. mike and i need to take advantage of him being home and go and see now you see me before he leaves.

10.  so glad isla fisher is back in movies again. i might have a little girl crush on her.

a little of this and little of that

eating dinner outside at willies

1. kaylee has thing for flaring out her nostrils now. she loves the fact that they're so huge.

2. great 4 day weekend. got to sleep in, went for walks/runs, ate yummy food and went swimming. except for me. i haven't jumped in yet.

3. we grilled pizzas, ribs and hamburgers but not all on the same day.

4. mike and i checked out a new movie theatre called the alamo drafthouse and saw hangover part 3. it was funny but not as funny as part 1.

5. it was nice and small and they serve you food and beverages while your watching the movie. [this one was much nicer than the movie tavern]

6. mike found it funny that i ordered bbq chicken pizza, popcorn and a chocolate peanut butter shake. [he thought beer went better with that combo]

7. yesterday we decided to check out tomball's oiltime jamboree. it was a really tiny festival but they had $2.00 snow cones, face painting and pony rides.

8. i have a mani/pedi appointment today. need my nails looking all fine for my old ladies luncheon tomorrow.

9. wishing i had a all over make-over too.

10. *sigh* feeling like frump girl again.

uncool/cool thursday edition

 the husband looking like a goof ball @ dave matthews concert

and another goof ball photo of him

UNCOOL:

1. having a broken air conditioner and its 90 degrees outside = super hot and sweaty inside.

2. allergies are so bad that i wake up with puffy eyes. they're super itchy and dry during the day.

3. my personal trainer hurting his back last weekend so he's been out all week. i made up my own work-out on wednesday.

4. i'm trying not to eat as much and i'm hungry : (

5. tornados in oklahoma. [really need to get my emergency kit going]

COOL:

1.  air conditioner will be fixed tomorrow and at the low price of $320 because we have home owners insurance.

2. mike and i went for a 3-4 mile walk tonight and ran 1/4 of it home. it felt pretty good.

3. my awesome neighbor playing plant fairy and bringing me some of her extras since we don't want to spend too much money on flowers since there's a chance we could be moving in the next year or so.

4. not spending any money this week except on groceries. its been hard.

5. school is almost over which is also kinda bad. i get to hear how bored kaylee is.

the weekend

kaylee and nanny at galveston beach 2013

1. went out to dinner and then to the dave matthews concert friday night. 

2. kaylee called twice crying because she didn't want us to leave. the second call i had to tell her she's 8 years old and we will be home soon. go cry for another 5 minutes then take a deep breath and see if ham will take her to the park.

3. she walked ollie and then they drew "tattoos" on each other's arms. ham might have taken her for a bike ride- can't remember.

4. dave matthews was good, not my favorite but the people watching was certainly entertaining. we had 2 very confident girls next row over, air guitar/drummer boy on the left of us, whoo-hoo every 5 minutes girl behind me and beside her, was puke boy. at least he waited till the end of the show.

5. mike's going to have as much fun as i did at the depeche mode concert. [sarcasm]

6. the pavilion was pretty cool, super close by, easy to get too and tiny. i couldn't lose mike even if i had tried.

7. saturday and sunday were spent pool side. spent about $150 on pool toys, suntan lotion and new beach towels. [they were cheap but cute $5 towels at wal-mart]

8. sunday morning, i got mad at mike for questioning my plant moving idea.

9. to show him, i ended up doing it myself and i think the flower bed looks better. he did remove the banana tree and some boxwoods for me.

10. and poor ham, he doesn't want to continue college. finds its a waste of time when he could be making the big bucks by doing his foreign trading. he just needs some investment money- any takers?

while my in-laws were here

the water was about 77 degrees- way too cold for me!

1. after my step class, i went to pick up my in-laws from the airport.

2. 5 out of 6 times [mostly my m.i.l] they have come to visit, it either gets super cold or rains. (3 days of rain was in the forecast)

3. we grilled out the first night they were here since they got up at 4AM.

4. then friday we went to a houston astros game. they lost but we got a practice ball and a nerf ball.

5. kaylee even got a baseball cap from poop poop. [thats what she calls mike's dad]

6. saturday we hung around the house since it looked a little cloudy and later played south park uno.

7. on mother's day we headed to the beach and all of us got burnt even though it was a hazy day. went to eat an early dinner at bubba gumps. then played south park uno again.

8. monday we hung around the pool since it was a gorgeous day, then went to the mall and ate dinner at pf changs. kaylee got an early dismissal on monday and one of her teachers asked her if everythings okay at home since she had two early dismissals in a row.

9. ollie loves poop poop. not even 10 minutes after they got here, he took ollie for a walk. i think from 1:00 to 9:00 he got walked 4 times. thats how it went during the rest of the visit too.

10. and of course no visit is a proper visit unless we can make fun of poop poop.  poop poop said some funny stuff like he calls our grocery store herb when its actually called HEB and then he would say dead kennedy when its really called dead kenny- from south park while playing south park uno.
