friday's 10

1. somber mood this week. not pms-ing so i'm blaming it on the weather. i feel lonely, deprived, antsy and boring.

2. kaylee's room is almost finished and i love it! it sure is purdy.

3. mike + i were talking about taking a vacation this year. on oprah she said that almost 600,000 people lost their jobs last year. mike is running the mini marathon in indy and we will be staying the weekend, that will be our vacation.

4. kaylee keeps asking me for a baby sister. at playgroup there's a baby boy there and i ask her if we can take him home, she says no. he's a boy not a girl.

5. cant decide on a paint color for the kitchen. i was thinking of a grayish color but i'm also loving an almost mustard color or an off white color.

6. wednesday the cat took the time to hop onto one of my new dining room chairs and pee while i was in the next room fixing kaylee some breakfast. last night, mike found a dried pee spot on his leather command center. the new house is now smelling like ass. i bought about 100 bucks worth of air fresheners from bath and body works. its helping for now.

7. ham has half a day of school. why?

8. the snow has melted. wish it wasn't so cold, windy and gray.

9. totally loving the house. i finally have my own bathroom since mike's nice enough to use the one in his mantuary.

10. does anyone want a cat?

this is really cute

feb. 10th, 2009 @ 7:39am email from kaylee sent to her daddy:

get a phone light for all my family. and for my broder hammie because i love him. and because i will color with you when you come back and i'll play with you and i'll play hide and go seek. and we can play all kinds of games that i want to play like everyfing. and i want something else. uh like and i want to play store with my cash register and its a princess one. and mommy would like you to come home (her words not mine) hi daddy and bye daddy and hammie will miss you and mommie will miss you and booah will miss you and booah will miss mia and mia will miss booah.

{i typed as she was telling me what she wanted to say in her email. booah and mia are our cats. mia is rip}

i worship the ground she walks on

she's my idol. i spent the day with a headache and sinus infection so i went back through her archives. she's got talent and she's got style. i'm so jealous. and she lives in california= great weather, great locations + she can go to the beach whenever she wants! and she made me realize just how much i miss tucking my kids into bed at night. the routine of getting on jammies, the excitement of getting read a story, the kisses and hugs and the i love you's + good night's. i got to get kaylee's room done asap.

i don't know

feeling weird today. cant seem to place a finger (or toe) on it. i think a vacation or retail therapy or maybe a good laugh is what i need. *i think its texas sheet cake withdrawal. i had like 10 pieces over the weekend.

super easy recipe

i drooled liked a baby all over my computer when i saw this country style chocolate chip cake. i drooled liked a 130 pound english mastiff when i found out its made from a boxed cake mix! via design sponge, recipe by hable construction

olli and lime

got a baby to buy for? got to olli and lime. their cute sleep sacks are buy one get one free

sunday's 10

1. friday went to the ymca for kaylee's "gym" time. got to hold + love on little babies. after reading comments about my gorgeous family, holding babies + unpacking kaylee's baby pictures has my ovaries doing sommer saults. do i want another one or don't i? remembering the sickness feeling for 9 months + the actual giving birth part makes my backache every time.



2. stacy from the order of disarray surprised me with these from whimsy + spice. i had posted about them awhile back. thanks stacy- you totally rock! i was hoping to try them in my hot cocoa this evening but painting got the best of me. don't worry, they're still soft and will be used shortly.


3. i also received my blog winnings from melanie over at you are my fave. two polaroids pics. i cant wait to find a place for them. and i cant wait to find my usb cable to download all my photos to show everyone.


4. i really would like to learn how to knit but i know i would probably just give up on the the cute top i had posted about earlier.


5. mike's one room in the house is pretty much complete. he's waiting for me to give him the thumbs up to buy another tv for over the bar area. keep dreaming my love, keep dreaming. (ham wants a car and baby wants a coffee table and buffet- still!)


6. painting sucks. i think i bought the wrong kind of paint, roller or the walls really sucks. the paint wont "stay" on the wall and i will probably need to do a second coat even though i primed it first. primings overrated and it has nothing and i mean nothing to do with the operator.


7. snow, while pretty when falling from the sky sucks too because it means freak'n cold weather.


8. kaylee was watching something the other night while i was on the computer- wireless does not suck- anyway, she says" what the the hell". and i said what? and she says it again- " what the hell" where in the hell did she get that? just kidding! she really did say it.


9. ham was sick today with a headache so that means i get to sleep in a little tomorrow. he's skipping school since he didnt get his homework done. he normally does not skip school. he ends up with too much homework so this is a surprise and a little treat for me.


10. looking for some cute bath towels but having a hard time finding them. i went to pottery barn on-line for the ones i wanted but they are now on sale and all gone :O( i want some FUN towels, not boring solid color towels.
