shocked.

I AM SHOCKED... Deana is back on the bachelor! What the heck?!!!!!

I forgot how much I love going to the movies.

Cole is still at the grandparents and I got to go to the movies, it has been forever! Advice to all, go see Marley and Me! I am a dog lover, however, I have terrible allergies and can't always show this. I have to pet Jack practically through our window. Tonight -bring on the benedryl- he is sleeping with me! Okay, kidding... but I wish. Oh, and bring tissues.. bulk kind..from Sams.

I'm Pretty Famous.

Yes, it's true. page 127 in Southern Living. I have a signing at Books-A-Million at 1pm.

e-mealz

I heard about e-mealz through a small group I was in last semester. Well, it has to be the best idea I've ever heard. I am paying someone $5 a month to plan my meals, exact my grocery list and guarantee I won't spend more than $40 a week on dinner. The first meal was great! I'll let ya know how it goes.

I have not been in the Christmas spirit. I don't know why, but it just doesn't feel the same. Is it age or the fact our economy sucks so bad, I feel that I'm taking a gamble each time I buy a gift. Not sure, but this afternoon I decided maybe if I made something "Christmas-y" I would get in the spirit. Here is the turn out, snowmen with earmuffs. Honestly, I still feel the same and now I will weigh more.

steak is served

I definetly hit up the Western Warehouse sale. It was awesome. We will be eating steaks for months - possibly living in a cardboard box- but eating right!
This is about 1/3 of the meat I bought.

Did anyone see the "Secret Millionaire?" OH my, it is good! I'm not sure when it started, but we caught 2 episodes last night, and not a dry eye in the house for 2 hours! It was awesome. I'm so inspired, I'm going to KMart and looking for people to buy a gift for. Only diff... I give away in tens.

gobble gobble

I was determined to make Cole's Thanksgiving Day shirt. I went everywhere, couldn't find anything to make. I decided on trying those iron on transfers- in my mind would look cheapo- but as long as I made it. My first try was more successful than my second. Pretty sure it's suppose to read "Eat Beef."

crafts

Nothing makes me happier than a good craft project. Okay, maybe God, family, and friends beat it,but it's a close fourth. My best "crafties" come from unexpected sit downs that result into something really cool. Today I got 4 hours... 4 HOURS.. while Cole napped. I saw these darling canvas paintings in Fun Stuff, took a pic with my camera phone, and made one. I'm now taking orders.

I never realized how steriotypically southern my grandmother is until yesterday. She likes my hair long, down and fixed. Within 30 minutes of being with her, she told me "you're hair is so short, I think I like it longer." Then, "now, your nail polish is a little too dark, don't you think." And, "Honey, your hair is now too short to try to wear in a ponytail." Love my maw maw.

i really want to like coffee. it has to be healthier than waking to dr. pepper. i don't like sweet, but i like a little flavor. any suggestions for good coffee?

yuck

The day has arrived. Cole has found his nose, better yet, the inside of his nose. We met PJ for lunch today and as we're sitting there trying to get him to eat, which is rare now because he is so easily distracted. He tried putting something in his mouth and as he did, accidently, a finger went up his nostril. PJ and I both bust out laughing... huge mistake. He now thinks it's hilarious to stick his finger up his nose and now we have a nose picker.

Merry Christmas?

Today while on hold with a professional developement, if you will, I actually heard Christmas music. SERIOUSLY? it's a tad early.

Cole dressed up for school yesterday. He was a monkey, and of course wouldn't wear the hood part of it.

Trim

Cole got his first hair cut last night. He is having pictures made tomorrow, so I thought maybe a trim was in order. I knew it would mean he would look less like a baby,and more like a little boy, so i've been delaying it. I think he looks so handsome.

Yea!

Cole can walk! This video doesn't do him justice, but it's the only video online I have right now.

Cruisin

Me and my sister had a wonderful time on our cruise this past week but I was so ready to come back! I still feel dizzy, like I am still on a boat. I got very use to breakfast in bed and am confused to why there is no magic number beside my bed that I can call and instantly have food! Back to reality.

I pulled out the UGGS this morning to go to the grocery. I AM STILL IN LOVE WITH THIS SHOE. Please Lord, let them never go out of style... and if they already are, please don't let me know.

War Eagle.. yes, I am still a fan.

We are now grown adults, so instead of mooching off the usuals, we have decided to have our own "grown up" tailgate. What better way to start it off than with a celebration for Jared passing the bar. We're glad he did- a lot went into this suprise party tailgate, and didn't find out until the day before. Here are some pics.

suprise!

Cole has a new favorite thing, actually it's not new, he's been doing it a while. When I leave him alone in his room, he "gets me back" for leaving him by taking all of his clothes out of the drawers. No, usually he isn't naked:)
