out with the lady bug's

 a few of the lady bug's

loved how this photo turned out

[both photos straight out of camera]

1. yesterday was spent with the lady bug's garden club. boy am i glad i went! 

2. since we were meeting at the community center parking lot, i had the brilliant idea of walking since its technically right behind my house. 

3. not sure what i was thinking- i live in texas now.  so i arrived a big, sweaty mess! and the whole day felt like i smelled like a wal-mart shopper. 

4. i rode in the car with the 4 best ladies. we talked about everything from E. D to politics.

5. and they found ME to be funny! i love it when people find me funny.

6. once we got there we took a boat tour and got to see some of galveston.  fresh fish just caught and being sold to the local restaurants, oil rigs, museums and dolphins! [i felt like i was on vacation with all the palm trees]

7. the photo of the pelican- well he's on a ship made out of concrete! this one came back for repairs and obviously, no one knew how to repair it.

8. once we got back from the boat tour, some of us went to the strand and did a little shopping.

9. i need to go back because i didn't have enough time to shop or take photos.

10. we ate lunch at the fisherman's dwarf and i got a fruity drink and a crab cake sandwich- delish! then it was time to go home. 

i only needed 2 things at target

at the football game saturday

1. boy is that hamilton SOOOOO handsome!

2. so after my run today i forced myself out of the house and went to target because i needed 2 things but still managed to spend over $100.

3. they had 48 count all laundry detergent pods on clearance so i bought 4 bags of them and found out at checkout that i get a $5 gc to use later because of it. what a deal!

4. also got ollie and his girlfriend halloween costumes. [and some other stuff to =$100]

5. then i had to go to the sports store and buy two a+m flags to hang over our garage so mr. rick aka mr. longhorn can see them, a t-shirt to dress his ghost as my prank and an a+m gnome for our yard.

6. not sure what happened yesterday. i took a very long nap, picked up kaylee and fell back to sleep again. then i went to bed before 10pm! 

7. i was probably still catching up from being sick.

8. tomorrow the lady bug's club is headed to galveston. i'm kinda excited about going.

9. but stuck on what to wear. i tried on some dresses that i bought for my cruise back in april and glad to report, they fit and feel a little better.

10. my weight has been consist since the last time i weighed myself. now i need to start working on losing some more of it!

armando got graffitied

1. mike texted me this morning that armando got graffitied on. i was like "oh shit!" because ollie was barking last night but i told him to shut up.

2. when i went out to take a look- this orange thing was on my car!

3. it was our sneaky neighbor. he's a huge longhorn fan and now our enemy.

4. oh yeah- its payback time!

5. today is a stay at home kind of day. i watched breaking dawn part 1 so i could be all caught up with my twilight movies.

6. then i put away kaylee's clothes and decided she's going to help me clean her room after school.

7. then i got the dyson out and swept/dusted whatever i could with it.

8. mike got to play college student and went to the a+m vs lsu game on saturday.

9. while kaylee and i walked around our neighborhood looking for garage sales. we only found 2 but she got herself a new pair of tommy hilfiger flip flops. [they still had the tag on them]

10. i also got my birch box. still not overly impressed but did get a full size essie nail polish.

[friday] love

1. love seeing these signs posted all over the house and the "don't call later- call now!" [she's also made cupcakes, had a pet store and a beauty salon]

2. love that i defeated my mind and ran without walking.

3. love getting invited over to a neighbors house for thanksgiving. 

4. and how ollie has a different bark for when he sees his girlfriend waiting for him outside.

5. love how kaylee only wants her mama at bedtime even though she gets stuck with daddy. [i do tuck her in]

6. and she got star student of the week!

7. and how she yells "naaaannnnyyyyy" every time an airplane goes by.

8. loving my hair and its finally cooperating even though its a bit dry.

9. love that nobody's complained on how messy the house is.

10. and karen's explanation about lying.

feeling like running...away

1.kaylee and i did a little photo shoot in the evening.

2. she's such a ham around the camera.

3. the 3rd photo is the only one that has been enhanced by iphoto because i'm too lazy do in anything in photoshop. the rest are straight out of camera.

4. they're a little dark- that's operator error which means i really need to get back into working with my camera.

5. i'm in a foul mood today. didn't get much sleep. 

6. because mike came home late which woke me up, then he woke me up again with his vapor lock. [this is what vapor lock is]

7. and i can't seem to find my motivation to do anything. this has been going on for the past 8 years???

8.  i called my sister yesterday. she wants to come visit for their fall break weekend.

9.  i told her i would have to check with mike to see what we have going on. she said " forget it." and hung up on me.

10. this is why i don't care to see or talk to her. she's just a lot of work to be around and heaven forbid someone tells her no.

[wsww] ism's and a snob

[what she wore wednesday]

1. i'm not sure if i'm not liking blogger or picmonkey because one of them is making these photos small even though i have it on x-large.

2. the second outfit is from justice that nanny bought her. i love that kaylee's so easy, she didn't fuss or fight that it needed more sparkles. we liked it so she liked it.

3. friday kaylee told me that one of her classmates said she wore that top the day before. clearly they're different but both are have lace on them.

4. my mil and i couldn't believe someone would make that kind of a comment on an outfit. its like already? they're only in second grade.

5. the husband did the dishes for me last night. [i did clean out the fridge and made "chicken and ducklings" for dinner.]

6. for those new to the blog- chicken and ducklings is a kayleeism for chicken and dumplings.

7. since it was raining most of the afternoon and evening, kaylee and i went out for fivebucks* soy peppermint hot chocolate w/whip. *kristism for starbucks since it usually costs five bucks.

8. ham texted me that he needs new clothes. i told him it would be much easier if he would go to the store so he could try stuff on rather than ordering them on-line.

9. he said dept. stores suck unless its in nyc. 

10. *sigh* i've created a dept. store snob!
