December - Mid Month Confessions

December

Mid month confessions

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *  

I truly can not believe it's almost 2017.

Not sure where the year went....

Oh yeah, had a baby, sold a house, moved in with my mom, bought a house.

Yep. That's right. 

It's been a busy 2016.

I'm HAPPY to move on to 2017...

That being said, I haven't really been keeping track of all my mishaps, but I know I have SOME confessions, so here we go.... 

*

I'd rather buy 2 1/2 gallons of milk than 1 gallon because I hate how heavy and awkward the 1 gallon of milk is to pour when it's full. This is weird but I honestly get annoyed with a full gallon of milk.

Austin is 9 months old (yesterday) and I much prefer him napping ON me still. It's not the best habit but I just don't care.  He's only going to be napping for so long and napping on Mama even shorter. He's just so perfect and peaceful.

I'm averaging a shower every other day lately. With the amount of time I'm on the phone or running to a lawyers office or lenders office or realtors office all while keeping Austin on his schedule, I don't prioritize showering. Luckily, I'm not necessarily dirty and dry shampoo works wonders.

I had become obsessed with Starbucks recently. To the point where I was spending like $7 a day on a venti drink and a cookie. I had to re-evaluate whether or not that was an actual priority or not. Turns out $50 a week on things like that shouldn't really be a thing. Also.....CALORIES?!

Lol so I've cut back and decided it's only going to be a treat now. That was just crazy. I've also switched to rook coffee which is a local shop I've talked about before. They truly have the best local organic coffee and it's waaaaay cheaper! A $12 bottle of cold brew lasts 7 days. And I don't have to lug a baby in and out of Starbucks. #keepingitreal

*

*

Buying a house is probably the most stressful thing I've ever done. Ted bought our first house before we met (well, re-met) and so I didn't know what all in entailed. I thought selling a house was a pain but man was I wrong!! I've never done so much leg work before in my life. It's exhausting but so going to be worth it.

We are being super aware of our finances til this house deal is closed and Ted and I talked about not spending a lot on each other for Christmas this year. However. I told him I want a Roomba and an Apple Watch. Haha nothing says don't spend a lot like $700 on two items! But hey, one can dream.

If you don't follow me on Pinterest, you're probably lucky.  Haha. I have been a pinning FOOL as of late. I'm obsessed with this new house so I just can NOT wait to get in and make it our home! Follow me on Pinterest here if you're interested...

Every night as I'm going to sleep I think about the new house. I feel like a little kid about to go to Disney or wake up on Christmas morning. I'm just do darn excited. I can honestly say for the last couple of nights that is how I fall asleep.

A rerun of Friends and "day" dreaming about our house.

And for fun... here is another glimpse at the house... 

I'm gonna be painting forever 

Have a good day!

August Mid-Month Confessions

It's been a while since I've blogged. I have just been so busy.
Our house is officially BACK on the market as of today!  

So I have been cleaning and purging and painting etc for a few weeks.

Throw in our blind pup that is still adjusting and our 5 month old and the fact that it's been like 100° for the past 2 weeks, it's been a bit crazy!! 

Needless to say, I have some confessions so here we go.....

(1)
The real estate photographer came last Wednesday to photograph our house again since we renovated the kitchen and updated some things.... So we all remember my shoving my laundry in the car thing....well surprisingly, the laundry was done! Shocking, I know...

But I used the laundry baskets (plural) to toss everything on top of the dressers and framed pictures and anything else that was "out".

It's still sitting in the back room. I need to empty it out. I'm just not in the mood. 

 

Buuuuuuuut - the pictures came out amazing!!

 

(2)
I haven't cooked dinner in a while. Well consistently at least. We've been eating at my moms. Or ordering in. It's just been way too dang hot! But tonight I'm cooking. We went to Whole Foods yesterday so we're all stocked up! 

(3)
We booked our anniversary trip and I honestly cannot wait to go away with my husband. We haven't gone anywhere since the babies been born which was only five months ago so that's no big thing. But him and I could use a night away. My mom is watching Austin & Jake and we're going for one night to Ocean City, MD. We can not wait!! 

 

 

(4)
Once our house sells we're moving in with my mom until we find something else or she does. She's been talking about down sizing since her house is kinda large. So we'll see if that is an actual true feeling. Then we'll buy her house. We just haven't 100% decided yet. But regardless. I can't wait to live with my mom. And neither can Ted lol. 

#momscooking #liveinbabysitter #savemoney #noshame

 

(5)
I love love love being a full time mama. But I wanted to do something to make some "shopping money" so I joined Rodan & Fields as an independent consultant!
I'm so excited about it.
I got my consultant kit and started using the products already and OMG I'm in love!!
The eye cream alone is just amazing!! 

 

If you are interested in purchasing products, becoming a preferred customer (which has TONS of perks) or becoming a consultant, please email me!!
I'd love to talk to you about these amazing products and an amazing business opportunity!!

I'm sure there's more to confess... but my brain just isn't coming up with anything more!

Have a great week!!

Mid-Month Confessions

January 2016
Mid Month Confessions
Linking up with Heather & Liz to share...

• I stole took a pint of haagen das coffee ice cream from my moms house and when I got out of Teds truck, it fell top down, lid off into the rocks. Since my mom took a scoop out, the plastic cover thing was off and so it face planted the rocks head on. I still ate it. I spit a rock out while eating it. But I wanted it so bad, that I didn't care.  

• I can't stand school busses. I love kids, I get that they need a mode of transportation to get to and from school but it's most annoying when it holds me up in the morning. I mean. I used to wait at a bus stop with like 12 kids. Now, kids get picked up at every dang corner so. Can't they walk?! Also - when the parents stand there and chat with the driver for a few minutes, laughing and what not with no care in the world and no where to go - it drives me nuts!!

 

• I'd rather wake up at 8 am, watch 3 hours of day time television while drinking tea and eating an English muffin, than get up at 5am and go to work. Some days I have to bribe myself to get out of bed to go to work. Others, I convince myself that I don't need to shower that day so I lay in bed an extra 15 minutes. I know this is super lazy, but I just don't care. Maybe because I'm going to be leaving work soon, maybe because I'm 6.5 months pregnant. Who knows....

 

• The room we are making the baby's room isn't even remotely close to being done. Heck, it hasn't even been touched yet. Currently, there are two large standing safes in it, all my gift wrapping stuff. All the scraps and boxes and bags from Christmas wrapping, a box with a fake tree stuffed in it, and about 5 Tupperware containers full of stuff for when we move.

We need to empty the room, paint, get lights, a shade, curtains, and just ahhhhh everything! I'm freaking out about it.

 

• Speaking of baby... I just registerd this past weekend. I wanted to over winter break, but the kitchen reno got the best of me. I went with my sister in law and mom and it took quite a bit, but I feel like I forgot a bunch of stuff.
  #notimetheresneveranytime #jessiespano #imsoexcitedimsoexcitedimsoscared

 

• From December 14th to January 6th I cooked dinner twice. TWICE! With Ted being in Cali, and Christmas and New Years, there just wasn't a need to. We were out with friends, at our parents houses, and just plain Mama wasn't in the mood so we ordered in! That being said, I haven't cooked much last week either. I did on Monday, Tuesday we went for Burgers with my mom at our favorite tavern and we ate at Ted's parents. I cooked twice since then as well...
  
• I cleaned out my fridge over the weekend and literally almost threw up when I found something hiding behind something else. I mean, I'm pretty on top of the fridge. I don't like to waste food or let things sit for long, but this was a complete oversight. 
  I took a picture because I felt it absolutely necessary to share what I witnessed. It's seriously mind blowing. I didn't know mold like this actually existed.
  Brace yourselves... 
  
  
  WHAT ON EARTH IS THAT?!?!
  I'm pretty sure the food was turkey corn chili but DANG.
  I had a really REALLY hard time with this.
  I threw the whole darn thing away... because who wants to try and salvage that!?
  NOT ME!!!!!!!!!!!
  So that is all for now....
  
  
  And I want to officially say that today was my LAST day at work!!!
  WooHoo!!! 
  
  
  Happy Weekend Everyone!!

Mid-Month Confessions

Linking up with Heather & Elizabeth to confess!!

It's been a while since I did a mid-month confessions post.

I think.

Jeez, I don't even know at this point.

But here I am with my confessions!
 

My first & biggest confession is.....

 

 

We're Having a Baby !!!

 

We are so excited.

And personally, I'm thankful that the first trimester is in my rear view!

I wasn't sick, but very nauseous every morning.

I was exhausted. I mean, put me to bed at 4:00pm - pooped!

I still get tired, but its manageable now.

 

So here goes....

 

1.

I hate working. I am SO mentally checked out now that I'm pregnant.
I am going to stay home once the baby is born, so just knowing that "the end is near" has made me completely despise being here.
I'd much rather be home getting things situated NOW...
January 8th can't come soon enough!

 

2.

We've had tons and tons of house showings. But not one single offer.

I am so desperate to make a deal and sell the house that I'm offering a gift card to home depot to at closing to the person that buys the house.

Its on our listing. #noshame

 

 

 

3.

I'm not loving maternity clothing just yet. Well pants at least. I have a little belly so my regular pants don't fit comfortably and maternity pants seem extreme (although I am wearing them!) so I've been rocking leggings and long cardi's for a while now.

I'm sure as my belly grows and I "look" pregnant, I'll embrace the preggo clothes :)

 

4.

If I get a craving for something, for example, a root beer float and a jar of bread and butter pickles, I need to have it. Haha.

 

I was a big pickle eater before I was pregnant, so that's nothing new, but the combo is new.

I also want all things icy whether it's ice pops, slush, Italian ice... I just want it all.

I'm currently dying for a cherry lime aide slushy from Sonic.

 

5.

When I turned 30, my mom bought me a beautiful diamond cross necklace.

I took it off one day and left it at her house, probably to go in the pool or something, and she gave it back to me in a paper towel inside a zip lock bag.

Because of this wonderful packaging, when Ted cleaned out my car the next day, it got thrown out - or so we think that's what happened.
 I was devastated. I dug through trash, cried. It was awful.

So for my birthday the next year, she bought me a new diamond cross necklace.

I was SO careful with it. Well it went missing again about 5/6 months ago.

And one day in the summer I broke down crying and told her I lost it again.

She was sure that I lost it in the house with all the moving and cleaning hassle.

Ted said the same thing. So I searched high and low.

I looked in my car more than a dozen times.

Under the bed, dressers, in all my pockets. Everywhere.

Well finally last week I was running late to work and had my earrings in my hand and dropped one down between the seat and center console of my car.

I decided to wait until later in the day to look for it because it was dark and rainy that morning. When I got home and pulled in the driveway I moved my seat back and turned on the flashlight on my phone and looked under the seat where the earring fell and BAM!

There's my necklace.

I screamed Ted's name so loud he ran outside nervous that something happened.

I was crying tears of joy and was just so darn excited!

The earring was also there...

So now all my jewelry is accounted for and I'm a happy gal.

 

6.

We have a skunk friend. Well. Skunk and Friend don't exactly go together in the same sentence, but we do have a skunk.

I feed the birds and squirrels in our yard.
We have a pretty tree filled/wooded yard.

I have 2 feeders, a bird bath and a bird house.

I put peanuts on the ground in the afternoon for the squirrels.

WELL.

The other day they didn't get eaten so the next morning when Ted got up to let Jake out around 5am, Mr. Skunk was there chowing down.
Ted was all bent out of shape and then I'm there like aww, he's just hungry leave him alone.

Haha...

But seriously, I don't want a skunk in our yard at all.
I think he lives under our shed though so it's not quite ideal.

 

ALSO ~ we had a "possum situation" were I let Jake outside one night and BAM he attacked a poor possum. Luckily both involved were ok - except me, I almost threw up.

7.
I made this "Fall Bark" for our family bon fire we have every October.
It was a big hit. My hubby loved it too.
It was the easiest thing in the world to make...
Here's why it's a confession:
I usually make something detailed and fancy from Pinterest or whatever.
This year, not so much.
Blame it on the pregnancy or just plain lack of motivation...
I melted some chocolate and dumped a bunch of yummy things on top and called it a day!

 

8.

Texas Amanda was here this past weekend and I soaked up every second of her!

We went to Friendly's for ice cream, and I got a 5 scoop sundae.
It was amazing!

I ate every. single. bite.

 

9.

I'm listening to Christmas music right now....

 

Don't judge! :)

 

 

That's it for now...

 

Have a fantastic day !!

Mid Month Confessions

Happy Friday!

Linking up with Heather & Elizabeth to share....

~

In keeping with past practice I feel it's only fair to share with ya'll that our house is still on the market and we are still having showings all the time.  That being said, I am STILL hiding laundry and stuff in my car for these showings! 

Old habits die hard...

~

My BFF in Texas whom I've mentioned before has the cutest daughter in the world. Well her birthday was the first week in August and her present is sitting on my counter waiting for me to take it to the post office. #auntfail

~

I'm done with summer. I'm ready for fall and Christmas. Bring on cooler weather. I've already started burning fall candles. 

~

I generally can't stand Nicki Minaj. But I'm a fan of the song she did with David Guetta "Hey Mama". Not the words because they are odd but the beat. I feel like I'm 17 blasting the song either the windows down. Hahah

~

I'm seriously obsessed with Starbucks Mango Black Tea. I drink one a day. Usually. And they aren't cheap. But I don't give a damn. 

~

On our recent trip to Rehoboth Beach Delaware, we got m&m covered chocolate covered pretzels. When we were waiting to eat dinner one night and I was starving so I housed two of them whole ted was putting our name on the waiting list. 

~ 

I fall asleep every night thinking about what I'm going to do in our new house. Like, every single night. It's what I fall asleep to after watching full house reruns.

~

I hate cleaning the bathroom. And I'm bad at it and probably don't do it good enough. Our next house has 2. So when we move in, I'm gonna need my mom to come show me the proper way to do that. I should know this at 33 years old and married. 

That's it for today! Happy weekend! 

~Tiffany~  

Mid-Month Confessions

Mid Month Confessions

~ July ~

Linking up with Heather to confess!!

First of all - it's 9:15am on Wednesday, and I'm JUST doing this post because I totally forgot and I have been a real blogging slacker so I'm kind of throwing this together.
~

I've been looking for homes for sale and jobs in Aruba.

Yup. Completely unrealistic because we all know I'm not moving to Aruba but it's fun to dream about what Island life would be like.
~

I have had a weird "discomfort" down my right leg from my lower back, through my buttock into my foot. I've had this before. It's sciatica. I know this.

HOWEVER - I managed to temporarily convince myself that it's something much worse and that my time on earth is limited.

Bless my husband for dealing with my absurd paranoia.
~

I've been using half days of vacation time at work because I seriously can not stand working in the summer. I'm so jealous of everyone in my building who has summers off.

I've also been seriously slacking with work too because I sit at work dreaming about being at the beach or floating in my Uncles pool. Not in a hot building with no AC and no windows staring at a computer screen.
~

I've been watching Hallmark Christmas movies any chance I can.

It's mid July and I just don't care. I love Christmas movies. Especially Hallmark ones.

And speaking of the Christmas spirit.... I'm so ready for Fall!

Again, I know it's mid July and I love the summertime, but I love Fall.

Once July4th hits them our birthdays, I'm over the summer and ready for all things pumpkin. #noshame
~

And finally.... I was so proud of myself for giving up iced coffee.

It was going well for a few weeks. I convinced myself that water was the better choice for a morning beverage.

Yup - here we are this morning - coffee in hand...

Happy Wednesday All


~Tiffany~

 

Mid-Month Confessions

 

I completely forgot about this fun post this month!

So I am a little late to the party, but better late than never, right?

~

 

ONE

So we're still going strong on trying to sell our house.

It's quite frustrating as we are well into our 7th month of it being listed and now it's down about $15k from when we started :(

We continue to have little traffic coming to see it...and when we do, it never fails that I have a ton of laundry to hide....so you guessed it - in the car it goes.

The sad part now is that Ted knows this and just automatically puts it in there.

 

 

TWO

This past Saturday, I was in the mood for a donut, so I went to Quick Chek to get an iced coffee and a donut. Well. Quick Chek doesn't sell bakery items like say Wawa or whatever, so I opted for an Entemens donut. Except those don't come individually, so I went for the whole box. Except that there was a sticker on the box that said 2 for $6.

So you guessed it, I went for two - but then decided I'd never eat all those donuts, so my 2nd box of choice was their chocolate chip cookies.

This was Saturday, they're almost all gone...

 

 

 

THREE

Since I read Heather's confessions which sparked my memory to do mine, her one confession made me giggle to myself because I relate 110% to it. She said that Matt asked her if he could imagine dating now and Ted and I talk about that every once in a while as well.

I'm so thankful that I am where I am and I don't have to try to impress anyone or get someone's attention or what have you. Recently we were at Latitudes watching our favorite local band play, and we were just sitting there enjoying the music and people watching. I had a ginger ale and Ted was drinking a beer... I looked around and said to him, "Could you imagine trying to pick up a girl/guy in this scene right now?" and he laughed and said no way. It's so true...
Once you're settled , the thought of having to try and "pick up" someone is awful... lol
I'm happy to sit on the couch in my sweats downing a pint of Ben & Jerry's yawning at 7:30pm watching Wheel of Fortune excited to get to bed shortly there after...

 

FOUR

I'm a paranoid pet mama... but for good reason.

Jake, our pup, had a golf ball size (squishy) lump on his neck last week...

Once I noticed it I immediately called the vet.

I made an appointment for the first time available as soon as I could.

Because of this, I had to take a half day off from work to take him...

Well... Here I am alone in the vet with Jakey... the doc checks him out and says he's not immediately worried then takes a sample from the lump with a needle.

He goes and looks at it under the microscope and comes back and tells me he sees something abnormal and with my permission, wants to send it to pathology.

 

 

So naturally I freak out, but tell him of course.

On the ride home I call Ted basically in tears.

Because you know, my complete irrational thought process is that this is it for Jake.

~Fast forward two days later, the doctor called me and said pathology came back fine and that it's a ruptured salivary gland and that we didn't need to do anything and it would go down/away on its own.

PHEW!!

 

 

FIVE

Lately, I've been really thinking about where to go for our 1 year wedding anniversary...

My main focus has been on The Inn at Palmetto Bluff in South Carolina...

Thanks to Heather :)

Well... I've been researching and researching and e-mailing with Heather about it and basically almost booked it....

And changed my mind.

In September, when we will celebrate our anniversary, it's going to be HOT there...

We decided we wanted to go more in May or October... so that is getting a pin into it for now...but we're definitely going to go.

Instead, Ted has something up his sleeve which involves New Hampshire and/or Vermont.

No complaints here... I love it up there :)

 

 

 

SIX

Last but not least, I love the Teen Mom shows on MTV.

I don't stay away from 10pm - 11pm on Mondays to watch it, because that's too late haha, but I do watch it when it's on.

I don't condone teen pregnancy, or agree with the behaviors on the show, but it's reality TV at it's finest, and I'm all over it.

Therefore, I bought Caitlyn & Tyler's book "Conquering Chaos"

I'm about 3 chapters in, and it's quite interesting to see how far they've come in their young life and how much they have matured and grown.

It's a fun little read and I love biographies...

Mid-Month Confessions

 

Linking up with Heather & Elizabeth for Mid Month Confessions!!

This is always such a fun link up...

I love sharing and reading everyone confessions!

So here goes.....

 

ONE

Back in February, I mentioned how bad I was with laundry...

and before that, in January I mentioned my little laundry hiding situation when we had a house showing.... Yep - this is something I work on regularly.

So here is my 2 point laundry confession for May....

(a)

The first week of the month, Ted got up and showered for work as usual and went to put on a t-shirt...for under his polo, well they all "smelled funny" apparently.

He proceeded to rip them all off and throw them and shout out how bad they smelled.

(insert embarrassed wife here)

So once he found one that didn't "smell" and left, I smelled them and realized that it wasn't a bad smell, it was the Downy Unstoppables I added to the laundry...

 

I guess he's not a fan

 

(b)

And of course, we had another house showing, and I hate leaving any type of anything laying around, so naturally I did the only logical thing and put 2 laundry baskets into my car.

As I was carrying them out to the car, I laughed at to myself and just couldn't believe I was doing this again... Laundry is my enemy

#thestruggleisreal

 

TWO

I've talked about our obsession with The Fast & Furious movies in the past...
but it's kinda funny now because we really ARE truly obsessed, and have no shame.
ANY TIME those movies are on, we watch.
Even if we watched it the night before.
Seriously.

THREE
I have hair envy.
Reece Witherspoon to be specific.
This is what I'm thinking about doing...

 I want every style she's ever had on her hair.
My hair is pretty long and I'm not really into it anymore so I've been contemplating cutting it shorter. I used to have my hair super short.
I wrote a post about that w bit ago... you can see that here if you'd like
I just have no interest in styling the long hair anymore...

FOUR
I've been trying to force convince Ted that a trip to Disney is just what we need!
In fact a trip anywhere at this point...
And I have an interesting way of doing so...
We're trying to figure something out to do for our anniversary and just to get away in general... and I want to go see the big mouse! haha
He's not so much a fan...but I'm working on it.
I hint and suggest things about vacations all the time.
I make lists and plans and itineraries and write down costs to the penny.
I make charts with different flight options and who would watch our pets and stuff.
I present them to him and he just kinda brushes me off.
I try.

Speaking of my "lists" and "plans"......

FIVE
I'm somewhat obsessed with drawing out floor plans of houses we look at.
We will go look at a house and then the next day I'll draw out a floor plan on plain paper and sketch out what I'd to do change it or renovate it.
It usually involves some type of demo or building walls or additions.
I did this recently with the house I thought was "the one" back when...
Post about that here
So I draw it all out and show him when he gets home and is like what house is this?
And I told him to guess...so he finally does and like the above lists, kinda giggles at me and brushes it off. Hey, my dad was a builder, this blueprint thing is in my blood! Hahah
I know this quirk will come in handy when we decide on a house.
That and my all my Pinterest boards!


That's all for now!

Have a great weekend!
~Tiffany~

Mid Month Confessions ~ April

I really love this series and sharing this with ya'll

Linking up with Heather & Elizabeth to Confess my crazy....
So here we go for April....

*

Sometimes if a good song is on the radio and I get home or to wherever I'm going, I sit in the car and finish listening to the song. Until it's over.

And this is especially funny because I love 80's hair band music and that's usually what I'm jamming out to in my lonesome....

You know..... Skid Row, Cinderella, Warrant, Tesla, LA Guns, Poison, Def Leppard.... 
I do this A LOT haha. Especially now that it's warm out - I have the windows down & I rock!

 

I mean I constantly have hair nation on in my car. Haha

Sometimes if Ted is home, he'll peek outside and give me a weird look and shake his head, because he knows. And he accepts my love of singing the 80's!

*
Speaking of music in my car... I only listen to the radio with the volume on even numbers.
Volume can't be at"17" or "21" or "33" it's always even.
I'm weird. I know.

 

*
I had a genuine fear of Elvis for about 6 years.
One night a while back, I had a horrendous nightmare about "The King"
I believe I was watching something on TV and fell asleep, and some creepy documentary about how Elvis is still alive and people who claim they saw him, came on.
I must've been in and out of sleep because it incorporated itself into my dream.
It freaked me out SO bad that I had a fear of seeing anything Elvis, or one of those Elvis impersonators. My friends thought it was the funniest thing. I did not.
And it was during the "Elvis Fear Era" that I went to Vegas. TWICE.
Yeah. Not a fun time for those afraid of  "Elvis The Pelvis"
I remember an Elvis coming up to me on the street asking if I wanted a picture with him in Vegas and I screamed in his face and ran away.
The fear was more about this guy:

Rather than this guy:

Somehow - I overcame my fear. I still think the people that dress like and act like him are weird, but everyone's gotta earn a living right?  

 

*

I hate being touched when I'm sleeping.

 

My poor husband, bless his heart...

Let me explain...

When I moved back home in 2011 - I had a bed to myself again.

THEN - Shortly after that, I got a king size tempurpedic bed FOR FREE (score!)

So naturally I managed to get that sucker in my bedroom at my parents house.

Let me tell you this....Having THAT kind of bed all to yourself for about 3 years gets VERY and I mean EXTREMELY comfortable. 

I didn't move in with Ted until 3 months before our wedding.

 (After my dad passed away, I stayed with my mom until I got married)

Ted likes to be all cuddly and sleep next to me and sometimes I just let it happen.

But when he gets up in the morning or if he works a Saturday, I'm in tempurpedic heaven.

I need to sleep like a total weirdo.

Picture this:

On my left side, both arms straight out in front of me

Left leg totally straight

Right leg bent in half with my knee pretty much to my chest

It's a sight.

 

*

 

 Remember the yodel binge ? We all do. It wasn't pretty.
Well this month, my "binge" if you will, has been on something *somewhat* healthy.
I was never a real fan of yogurt until I had my tonsils out and had to force myself to eat anything I could get down. An intern in my office introduced me to this.
Chobani "Almond Coco Loco"
It's coconut yogurt with pieces of coconut in it with the "flip" part that you dump into the yogurt consisting of dark chocolate and toasted almonts.
HELLO!
This is SO DANG GOOD!
They are on sale at my grocery store this week, and they are sold out.
So I got a rain-check.
Yes I am now 82 years old.

I have a special hate for Dairy Queen - but the reason isn't funny...

This month is hard for me. It’s the month my dad suddenly passed away. I have a lot of anger about not having been able to say goodbye to him and it’s been really hard to deal with for the past 4 years. That being said – on April 11^th 2011 I was at dairy queen with my friend Holly. I left my phone in her car while we ran in to get “blizzards”. When I got back in to her car, I checked my phone and saw that I had 10 missed calls and a bunch of texts. My stomach dropped. We were in DQ for like, 6 minutes. I KNEW something was wrong. VERY wrong.  I called my mom back and she answered the phone in a weird tone and said there was an accident… (she said a lot more, explained "accident" and those words stuck with me and will stick with me forever, but I’m not in the mood for all that right now)
So long story short – I was at Dairy Queen when I found out my dad died. While he was having a heart attack and collapsing, I was getting dairy queen.

So now I hate DQ. I don’t go there, I snarl when I drive by. I won’t eat their cakes. And I’ve gone as far as saying “I hate that place” when someone mentions it. I can justify this even though it sounds insane. But to me, this is where I heard the worst news of my life.
So because of that. I hate it. And I’m allowed to. So there.

My Spring Break was last week and I thoroughly enjoyed being off and
essentially being a "housewife" :)
This really got me "in the mood" if you will - to be a stay at home mom.
I'm done with the work gig. I'm ready to have a baby and focus on family.
I mean, when I was in 6th grade, in my end of the year book we were asked what we wanted to be when we grow up - My answer was: House wife or Mom
Really!? Lol
My mom was both of those thing. She didn't go back to work until I was a sophomore in high school. She even worked in my high school as a sub.
Now she's the attendance officer at my high school and will be retiring soon...
