Ok I’m just kidding, I doubt that little dude in there really was wanting nerds and a slushy but I sure was!!!!  :)  I’ve always been a sucker for sweets though!  Today was a cheat day from my usual healthy diet…ha ha ha….

Enjoy!

I pretty much wanted to show you my outfit today!  ha ha….  I totally felt like I was back in the 4th grade with my leggings, thick high socks, and baggy t-shirt!!!  Today I made money off the bank!!!  How cool is that?  I didn’t even know this but when they mess something up they send you $5 in cash (it’s their customer service policy) for any inconveniences, I guess that pays for my gas when I had to drive up there!  :)  Thank you Arvest you made my day.  Honestly it was as good as finding any size bill in an old coat pocket!  Oh and by the way I wish I would have taken my self portrait of Ellie and I on a walk today……  I was decked out with my ski gloves, goggles, neck wrap, sweats ,etc just to go for a walk!!!  But since Ellie is in heat right now I figured holding onto her would be enough struggles for our walk so I ditched the camera at home.  It would have probably been an even better outfit for you guys!!!!  :)

Enjoy!

I love the snow, but I’m starting to feel as though I live in Colorado or something!  We never get this much snow around here!  It’s usually like an inch at the most!  I had to work today so as soon as I got off I let Ellie out and we played fetch, she’s getting so so so much better at it!  She used to go get it and bring it back like 3 times then quit, but now I have to stop her!!!  She really is a great doggie.  I can’t wait till we get to have puppies!!  :)

I chose this image out of a few because she made me laugh when she hopped in the air after the ball.  You can’t see the ball bc it’s covered in snow but she could find it.

Ps.  My home is gorgeous!  :)

What else are you supposed to do on Superbowl Sunday other than watch the game.  So my picture is basically to prove that I did indeed watch the game and to be honest was rooting against the Saints…..  :(   But my mom mentioned something that sort of struck me, she said if the Saints do win New Orleans will get some much needed income.  She’s right, I couldn’t think of any other city that actually would need that money for their community, especially after the recent hurricane down there.  I don’t have a whole lot to say about today’s game other than I think Manning choked at the end.  Congratulations Saints.  I know a certain family (The Lindy’s) that are probably going crazy right now !!!

I was in town shooting an engagement session with Chelsea and Stew today, it was my second trip to town.  On my way home TW and I were trying to make plans to go do something.  We thought about ice skating, rollerblading, watching a movie, and just going out to eat.  Once I got home I started to not feel well (I don’t think this is pregnancy related, pretty sure my stomach was just being a punk) so I laid down on the couch.  TW did such a great job at building a fire while I was “resting” that I woke up on the verge of sweating!  He was in the computer room watching horse training videos on youtube so I got up and came in the computer room and laid down behind him on the floor.  It was much cooler in this room, although there wasn’t much room for me to lay down!!!  I’m going thru some very slow organizing so things are everywhere.  Sorry TW you have a sleepy wife on a Saturday night!

Enjoy!

I was in the store the other day and I found this really awesome idea that I just had to try out.  It’s basically a smoothie in a bag all you do is add milk and blend.  So here’s to a healthy night time snack while we watch Batman Begins tonight.

Oh yea I’ll go ahead and give my product evaluation about it as well…..  if you like the berry flavor and a creamy smoothie this is for you.  As for myself I’m more of a tart smoothie fan and not so creamy more icy so I think it will most likely be the last attempt with this certain product.

Hey there the day of the week apparently everyone is excited for, Belly Thursday!  I had a reader suggest I rename the title to Tummy Thursday.  Which got me thinking I could do a name change to Tummy Tuesday as well.  So I want everyone to give their two cents and comment what name you like best……  Belly Thursday, Tummy Thursday, or Tummy Tuesday.  Today is 9 weeks and 2 days.  Today was a big day for someone!!!  You will all hear about it soon!  :)  I’ll keep you posted.

Enjoy!

When I was a kid growing up I used to love those big fancy windows you could sit in and get comfy and read a good book (although now I’m not usually the reading type).  But today I was feeling a bit kiddish and decided to curl up in my husbands chair next to our window (since we don’t have the cool fancy “real” nook I’ve always dreamed of) and read through this book.  I’m not typically a book reader, but I can read magazines and other articles made for someone with a short attention span.  That is why I can read this book, it’s designed to keep you moving through the book, but not page by page, I get to jump around and that’s just what I enjoy.  It’s obviously a book about pregnancy since I can’t imagine justifying laying around all day and reading anything otherwise.  In my opinion the reason I don’t read much is because I compare it to watching TV, and outside of occasional movies we don’t watch TV.  I can’t imagine sitting around all day long and staring at a screen (a TV screen that is) much less can I imagine doing the same thing with a piece of paper.  Who knows maybe I’m just justifying that fact that I should probably read more and rebelling against all the smart folks who read all the time.  :)
