Intermission

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh

basically my life has been pretty hectic & that means no time to blog about all the good stuff that has recently happened.

but coming soon (probably tomorrow or the next day, or when I find the time) pictures from Ellie's birthday party & her cake video, new pictures from the move, & cute Ellie shots!

For now some random ramblings:

• I want to adopt a Chinese crested
• Britney Spears is out of control & absolutely amazing 
• Unpacking is worse then packing
• Go Go China = best  new york style Chinese food ever!
• I love that Ellie LOOOVES Chickpea salad, but I don't love changing 5 poopy diapers the next day.
• Ellie loves to hide in Grandpa's kitchen cabinets & put all her toys in there.
• Ellie is such a ham & loves to color ...  the soldiers down on base loved her so much they gave her some National guard coloring books!!!! 
• My husband is basically the sexiest man alive, yea I said it.... 
• $0.75 pink glitter baby flip flops? THANK YOU TARGET!
• Ellie loves swimming in the tub & turning on the water ... oh lets not forget splashing .
• I have a big zit on my eye brow right now... & it's driving me CRAZY 
• I haven't read my book in 2 days now seriously I need to stop UNPACKING & just read!
• I love shopping at thrift boutiques best buys ever! (seriously if you want vintage clothes and jewelry FOR 2$ AN ITEM go shop at a non profit store called Halo! seriously I must post pictures of my high waisted paints, shorts, leopard print top, sexy new frenchy jewelry && much more I take vintage thrift shopping to a whole knew level!)
• Perfected the skill of pinup hair ! 
• Ellie is banging pots on the floor ... got to love that.
• Vintage, antique shabby chic bedroom LOVIN IT - Totally bought vintage knobs (glass Victorian knobs my favorite! lets not to mention rusty ones!) & decked out my dresser & night stand. 
• Obsessed with gold frames
• Drill this weekend, so excited to kick some ass. 

Those outfits I was talking about...

2 of my awesome thrifted outfits. & I have about 7 more just as awesome!

A special quote for ya'll to take in:

" You've never lived till 

You've almost died.

For those who've had to fight for it,

Life has a flavor the protected never know."

I am so proud to be a soldier in the United States Army 

To fight for the freedom of my children's future.

I have NEVER been patriotic EVER in my life until recently... I'm starting to realize what it means to give up everything, to leave everything behind, to protect those you love & to serve your country.

As those days draw closer I am starting to admire all those who have fought before me and  those who will fight after me. I now have a greater respect for life, its too short, & I'm going to savor every last moment I have with my family, you never know when your last will be.

Talk to you later alligators...

New home, new beginings.

• Moved
• Exhausted
• Too many birthdays too handle for one month ! ( Dad's, sister's & Ellie's )
• Unpacking
• Picked up new sewing projects
• I threw a few temper tantrums, You betcha', the whole nine yards.... sad I know.
• STARBUCKS... I LOVVVVVVVVVVVVVE YOU 
• Hot new vintage clothes!
• Gold sea horse wedges? Kind of groovy, too buy or not to buy? I'm thinking buy? ( Real question is will Alex kill me if i come home with another pair of shoes? )
• I have a flossing addiction, I floss a minimum of 3 times a day....and if I see people floss their teeth incorrectly I flip a shit it's so gross.. and if you don't floss at all your disgusting & you should.
• I am a pen kleptomaniac ... I will steal your pens.
• Ellie let me rock her to sleep for the first time in months, I cried. 
• I live at half price books, I should get a weekend job there. 
• I love burlap .

any who now that I'm finished writing down my rambling thoughts & I'm back on track, new home & new beginnings.

I love my family. No matter where we live as long as I'm with them, I'm happy. I'm excited to be some where other then our apartment & I'm looking forward to this new chapter in our lives. I have no clue where its going to take us but I cant wait to find out.


happy face --




It's late, I need a book light so I can catch up on "The Historian", Alex is getting restless waiting for me to accompany him to bed and I'm torn between the two....

Of course my sweet man always comes first... Sorry book your stuck playing second fiddle .

Wish List

Feel free to buy me anything on this list

• The Female Brain - Louann Brizendine M.D. 

• The Male Brain - Louann Brizendine M.D

• City of Fallen Angels (Mortal Instruments, Book 4) - Cassandra Clare

• Clockwork Angel (The Infernal Devices, Book 1) - Cassandra Clare

• This is a book - Demetri Martin

• Sex, Drugs, and Sea Slime: The Oceans' Oddest Creatures and Why They Matter - Ellen Prager

• The New 3G Kindle with a soft pink or mustard yellow cover

 

 You might be wondering why my list is so long?

Well I have a couple rules for book buying (otherwise we would be in massive debt and we would have a miniature library in our living room - wait ... we already do?)

I only buy USED books & they have to be under $5.00

Some times that means I have to wait a LONG TIME

and while I wait my list just grows!

My favorite places to book shop:

1. Goodwill on their 50% off Saturdays! (FYI its this Saturday and I already scoped out some books!)

2. Half price books! I bought Bram Stoker's Dracula for $1.00 yesterday .. It was so cheap it felt sinful!

I need to buy a cheap mini book light mine broke! 

Why you ask? So I can snuggle my husband and Read him to sleep!

He hates the lights on at night so that means I cant read in bed, but if I go to the living room to read it's a no go there too because my lover is a snuggler (just like me) & we can't possibly sleep without one another.

Book light , please buy your self & find your way to my house.

I know it's a lot to ask from a book light like yourself, but I'm packing and moving right now and I don't have time to hunt you down myself.

If you do me this one favor I promise to read you many stories and Keep you away from Miss Destructo (Ellie) & change your batteries often.
