Patiently Waiting

For this

These are for Big Papa

My dad has been insisting on the prayer video, I don't find it as utterly hilarious as he does because I hear it every single night and a couple random times in the day. I threw in the books of the Bible just to show off (ps - I didn't help him at all while I taped this)

That's the only requirement?

The scene: last night, Adam's refusing to eat dinner with his parents and is instead screaming his bloody head off in the family room. He calms for a moment and says.....

"Mama, you going to have a baby. Because you have to have big boobies to have a baby."

And I swear no one taught him this.

Can't even believe it.

Heath Ledger is dead at 28. I am such a fan. Especially of 10 Things I Hate About You.

Those darn Ambien pills.....

How much does bottled water really cost?

It takes 3 liters of water to make 1 liter of bottled water.
-In 2006, Americans bought 31.2 billion liters of water.
-Almost $900,000 tons of plastic was needed to make the bottles, requiring more than 17 million barrels of oil.
-Bottling the water created more than 2.5 million tons of carbon dioxide.

And in the end you're probably just drinking bottled tap water. mmmmmm, so refreshing.
Get a reusable bottle. The one I use came from the dollar area at Target and goes everywhere with me from the gym to church.

Hello My Love...

I flippin LOVE freecycle

Today was my first experience obtaining items from a listing on freecycle. Look at a couple of the things we got:

We also got a LeapFrog electronic learning book thingy, 3 packs of crayons, 2 packs of colored pencils, and a awesome Bob the Builder flip book. What's funny is that Adam received more toys today from freecycle than he did at Christmas!

About 3-4 months ago we were at W*lmart when Adam decided he was in love this this lighting mcqueen toy where you race two cars down twirly ramps. I told him he could have it if he stopped peeing his pants. He hasn't mentioned the toy since November and this morning he says he wants that specific toy because he stopped peeing his pants. I told him I didn't know if W*lmart still had that toy but we could look one day. Then I picked up this ramp toy today and he LOVES it, I think he believes I went out and bought the lighting mcqueen one while he was napping.

You ask, and you shall receive my friends...

Counting

well, he almost has it!

he's a little slow, like his mama.

Lil' Picasso

Currently Listening to..

Can you guess what song it is?!?!

"I get up in the morning and I see your face girl....you're looking so good everything's in place"

"Don't you know I could never leave your side girl......won't you stay here with me and be my bride....... "

"oh, Ooh, uh oh.."

What's really odd is that I got it out of my husband's ITunes. :)
Hee hee, he's going to hate me for stating this!

Free Rice

Test your intelligence and feed the hungry at the same time, and it's free to you.

FreeRice

It's actually quite addicting too. I'm smarter than I thought I would be!

The Weigh In

Today was my third assessment at the gym.

In 3 months I have:

lost 10 lbs. of fat
gained 8.5 lbs. of lean muscle mass
lost 8% of my body fat
lost 2" off my waistline
and various small amounts have been lost off my limbs, etc.

My diet is now changing as well as my workouts (3x/week now) so I expect some mad results next month! My pants are beginning to fall off, my butt better start to get bigger!

Thanks Grace!

Storytime

Lamp

Adam's new lamp has come home from the Glass Academy. Here it is in all it's glory.

Currently Reading

The scenes of this book are based mostly in Detroit and it's really cool because you get a large part of Detroit's history here that you probably never got anywhere else, especially not in school. And it's fiction!

What I Really Love This Moment

Some of the things I really love at this moment:

a sleeping child (who didn't scream about going to bed)
the giggle of a little kid being tickled like crazy
taking videos of Adam
making cards
etsy
shopping online
reading a great book
clearance racks

These 2 are so crazy

In the first clip you wonder what is going through my child's head to make him sing like a maniac. And in the second clip... ewww, who dips their carrots into ketchup/mustard. He certainly doesn't get that from me. Nice drool Josh, it's very becoming. I keep watching these over and over because they make me laugh so hard.

Happy New Year!

You'd think I'd have something better to do on a Tuesday morning/early afternoon. If you can get past the giant snowman guarding the fort door you'll get to meet the great penguin inside. Geez, there's a theme and everything to this snow fort.

New Year's Eve

What turned them from just brothers to brothers and uncles.

Too cute!
