Change up a shirt..

This is for you, dad.. wanting to know HOW to make an AC/ DC shirt look good ;)

Kat Von D style!!! (she's from LA ink on the TLC show) -

it all started in December when my girlfriend bought a grinch shirt but it was super big on her.. she's lost 100 lbs and i said GIRL- why on earth would you wear a HUGE shirt after losing all that weight.. you need to make it form fitting and cut it up ( every time i say that i think of Bon Qui qui, GIRL I WILL CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT YOU!)


So, few weekends ago, we whipped out some guys shirts, watched the tutorial on how Kat Von D cuts up her shirts, and here you have it! I used a mens medium shirt and you just tie it in the back to fit your body shape-


And YES... i will wear mine to church


I had a girl that's new to our apt complex tell me she loved my style so much she told her husband she was going to get gas in her car, and went shopping, came back with 2 bags of clothes.. i guess i forgot to tell her BEFORE she shopped all my hot spots.. not too often do i spend alot on clothes. Once you have your staples, you're set!


Now, go thru your closet and find somethin you want to Cut up, and do it Kat style - woot woot! ( and yes, i already had this shirt, it was luke's from an 80's party= wal*mart special!)

Too Funny to NOT post!

When THIS ...
Goes to THIS!!...

Freakin SCARY Larry is all i have to say! I was flat ironing my hair and got this bright idea to do hers- i was laughing so hard while doing it.. it looks like:

* A mullet

* A Wig

* Like the guy off of Back to the Future's kid!

(Brown ring around mouth= m&m's from the bribing i had to do to get her to TAKE the picture!

Notice her hand is in her pocket pulling out MORE!)



Left the back curly for affect-
Obviously GOD knew what he was doing when he gave her curls- cause she looks like a
lil man with straight hair!


Hope this brought you as good of a laugh as it brought ME!

Rewards & Recognition

Mini Me made honor roll AGAIN! That being said, she was able to pick out a special treat and she decided Build a Bear was the place to go- i DREAD this place!! They have so many acessories including UNDERWEAR for these stuffed animals so they can really add up! To my suprise, we got out of there UNDER 50 bucks, she just wanted all the simple things. PHEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

*BEFORE BUNNY*

*She looks SO grown up, it makes me SAD!*

*Deciding on the outfit*

*The finished Project, Miss Bunny!*

I already forgot this one's name but it starts with an "A"- i'll get back to you on that one ;)

A Moment That choked me up!

Oh, lil muffin.. how i love her! Everything like sissy! Today she had to wear sissy's cowgirl hat, wear a vest cause the mint green one she wanted, sissy was wearing.. She just idolizes her!

Tonight, we were all sitting at the table while daddy was on his lunch break. Muffin will sternly say: "mom!" over and over until she gets my attention. i just WISH you could hear the way she says it because E.V.E.R.Y time she does it, i start in fits of laughter! She was literally 4 inches from me, but yelling as if i was across the room. After turning, looking at her and acknloweging her and saying, Yes.. she softly looks at me and LITERALLY whispers while looking into my eyes " I LOVE YOU!"

Yes, i teared up, just as i am now typing this. AN 18 month old with such a love for everyone and everything.. a moment i thought would be getting her something like a snack - and all she wanted to tell me was that she loved ME!!!!

Such is a moment like this, i feel God uses to teach us little lessons.. He wants US to take just a little time out of our busy lives and busy schedules to speak to Us and tell us how much he loves us, as HIS children!

Things that Make you go Hmmmmmmm...

Coach,...... its just not me!! The coach looks good on everyone else's shoulder but mine. J Crew, Anne Taylor, Sperry shoes, Ralph Lauren, i love it all- but.. its too awkard for my taste. I mean, i LOVE it, but its like putting a gothic chic in a nun's attire! Its so classy and Chic, and i'm SO not.. i'm the more spunky personality. I love a lil' funkiness, ya know, West coastie style- Think :Pink, love that girl! I love good, upscale denim, the newest fave pair of jeans would be my Rock Revivals.So, the husband wanted to buy me a Coach for Christmas, it would have gone back. I was oh.. cyberin it up on good ol' trustie Nordstrom.com and BEHOLD my new handbag appeared ! I love laaaaaaaaaaaav Juicy couture!!!!! Doesnt this just scream SPRING! i love the bright yellow, one of my FAV colors, and the cute cute CUTE bee charm on the side?! It ,makes me think Happy thoughts like Beaches, margaritas, ocean, swimsuits, tans. Oh.. so so adorable. I talk as if i've bought it already.. oh yes, i have.. IN MY HEAD! i put it in an email and sent it to my husband for the Birthday wish list- lets see if my wish comes true.. until then, i have last years Spring Juicy pink and green plaid handbag... also just as cute.

No need to worry- new pictures of the babes will be posted soon!

One of "THOSE" days..

I swear.. its been one of THOSE days..

The kind of day where you try and take two steps forward, but feel like

the steps are moving backwards.

I arrived 2 hours late to my gym- that'll throw you off. I didnt want to go. So.. i took a quick glance in the mirror and was reminded WHY i am going.

I did my workout.. and i did it good- today was an Arms day.

The baby took her nap- and what did i do INSTEAD of being productive?! oh.. decorated for Valentines day. Which is, i know going to be the start to my insanity. Why you ask? Because i made a layout of candy of different sorts, in different jars- now the 18 month old says :"CANDY" every time she looks at it. BIG MISTAKE-

So, no laundry was done, nor did i vacuum, nor make my bed. DISASTER i tell you-

Then, mini me comes home from school.. I opened the mail and another project awaited me. Muffin is going to an allergist in a couple of weeks and instead of the allergists office calling my insurance like they said they would to make sure they covered it, they wrote a note at the bottom of the paperwork saying that they couldnt find out any info.. oh.. you mean you're too much of a lazy oompa loompa to look it up! So, i took it onto myself to call my insurance- dialed numbers wrong, couldnt get my online log in right, pressed 0 oh about a 100 times.. finally got someone. Its covered.

Meanwhile, i have the kids wanting snack- mini me gets it, and the dog is sharkin around for scraps. i have kids bickering, screams for mom.. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Husband calls.. i'm on my way home for dinner, uh, what are we having?! (ohhhhhhh, WHAT ARE WE HAVING?) did i mention my fuse was about BLOWN by then? i felt numb.. trying to come up with a smart dinner in 20 min. I season some salmon ,and turn on the oven. "Babe, that new chinese place by our house is open, wanna go there?!"

DO I?!!!!! i get the kids ready and drive there- all but a few mn away- PACKED ! 2 employees, line of to- go peeps out the door and 6 tables FULL- NOT. a. GOOD. SIGN.

Our server tells us she started 2 hours ago.. uhhhhhhhhhhhh... ok. the table that gets there after us gets their food first.. go figure. We get our food- AN HOUR LATER! The employees had no no no customer service what so ever- i mean, were talkin' BRICK WALL-

Husband stands in line for 10 mn just to pay bill- - - - - - no tip. I dont think i have ever not tipped. IT WAS out of a BAD MOVIE!

It was one of THOSE days- where i think.. seriously.. all i do is clean up after people all day, fold laundry.. the highlight of my friggin day is working out...

.. Yup.. its been one of THOSE days- dont feel sorry for me please! Just buy me a drink and everything will be just fine!

CHEERS TO A 3 DAY WEEKEND! HOW ABOUT EVERYONE CLEANS UP AND DOES LAUNDRY AND MOM DOES N-O-T-H-I-N-G!!
