Clever title

Can I start out by saying that the Cowboys are playing like poop right now? And, quite the low scoring game; 3-0 and in the 3rd. Good thing I am not a hardcore fan and I won't lose any sleep if they don't win.

Remember how I was searching high and low for a new cream colored coat? Well, if I didn't mention it before, sorry. Nordstrom was having their grand sale this past week and I thought maybe they will have a coat for a great deal. I wanted to keep it around $100, high hopes, I know. So, I was looking all around and I couldn't find anything at all. Then, I thought, 'what about the junior area?!' What do ya know?! They had a GREAT coat for an amazing DEAL! $52!!

If you are feeling generous you can buy me another one in 'pepper'. Can't wait to wear my new coat! Good old Texas weather, it was 70 degrees this week.


I am counting down the days until Thanksgiving break; only 7 more work days to go. I am in need of a break from work, I love it, but I love breaks too. We are having Thanksgiving at our house this year and I am making the ham. Oh boy. Should be interesting! I am just praying that it is edible. Any great ham recipes?! Or dips? Anything? Lets be perfectly honest, I am only concerned about mashed potatoes. My parents are bringing those bad boys... CAN'T wait for that! Mmmmmm...

If you are in need of some new sneakers, Asics to be precise, run to Kohls. I usually get a pair of Asics a year to only wear to my step classes (I am very anal about this) and I get them for about $70 at Academy. They are GREAT shoes, very comfortable and they last a long time. A lot of the ladies in my class wear the same ones. Anywhom, I saw in the paper that Kohls had them on sale and I then recalled the 30% off coupon I had! Lucky day!! I got a new pair for $35! I think that is quite impressive :)


Off to finish this boring game. I keep hearing Jeremy say sarcastic comments to the tv. I think it is really helping the Boys out, they can hear him you know.

Why oh Why?

I may sound dramatic, but very random things happen to me and I just can't help to think, why?...why?...why? Yesterday Stefanie and I were helping Staci make a diaper cake, which turned out SUPER cute but I can't post pictures until next weekend to keep the baby name a secret, AND right beneath my throat started hurting.. like right around my collar bone area. Strange? Very. So, I just ignored it thinking it would go away. Well, a few hours passed and Allison, Tyler, and Bella were over watching the Cowboys game and I was laughing a lot and that was killing me! Of course, Allison being a concerned sister laughed when I would laugh and then immediately say that it hurt... so her laughing at me in pain made me laugh a little more. Vicious cycle.

After they went home it got pretty ugly. Jeremy didn't fully believe the pain until I was teary-eyed every couple minutes because it was just killing me. Final straw was when I was trying to change into a pj top and I tried to lift my left arm and it hurt so bad that I started crying and Jeremy had to help me change. Seriously?? Has this happened to anyone else?! My mom kept calling to make sure I was alive, which I was, thankfully.

I had to call into work today and I went to the doctor first thing in the morning. Apparently, there is a muscle in front of the neck and goes down your chest (no idea what it is called) and I pulled it severely. How? Making a diaper cake is my guess. Pretty strenuous activity. So I am on muscle relaxers, anti-inflammatory, and I have to get massages. Darn the luck on that last part!

Other than that, I had a GREAT weekend! Hope to post pictures in a wee bit :)

Watch out for these!!!

Re-new after 2 years?!

I always tell Jeremy that I wish we could get married again and he responds with you are crazy. I love weddings, everything about them! Jeremy does not have that same feeling apparently. Well, here are some of my favorite pictures of everything wedding. Couldn't tell you a bit about these pictures, but they are beautimous!

















Of course I added pictures of my wedding because, well, I think it was perfection! haha

Want a wedding planner?!?

Spare Change?

We might need your change sent our way. I already know that we aren't getting carpet until next year (tear) and I was becoming okay with that. You just don't know how very badly I would like new carpet. Well, today I went to go finish up some laundry and wouldn't ya know that our frappin' dryer was on, but not drying. Interesting, I didn't know that it had the setting: "keep very damp", but apparently it does. Jeremy and I undid everything and cleaned out the vents and waited a while and then put together and it worked. Although, we have noticed that recently our dryer hasn't been working grand. Hopefully, it doesn't continue to break and we don't have to buy a new one. BUT, just in case you have one of these spare babies, I will take the dryer (or the set) off your hands. Not a problem. And, I wouldn't mind re-doing my laundry room to look like any of these. Then maybe I would actually enjoy some tiny part of the laundry process.







Ever feel like you are meant to do something different than you are at the moment? Jeremy and I have been feeling that way for a while, we just need to figure out our niche. We both LOVE our jobs, but something is missing..... we shall see.

Frightening... and not bc of Halloween!

I had a big of a scare this morning. I was in my classroom and I was about to leave to go get some copies and I went to my door and guess who was also there?? Oh, just a HUGE spider!! If you know me at all, you know that I have left our old condo and stayed at my parents until Jeremy came home to make sure a big bug was dead. I have a bit of a phobia. So, when I saw big legs that was my cue to scream and run to the other side of the room. Pacing, hand shaking, and heart palpitations began. Honestly, I thought what the hellzer am I going to do?! I need my copies, but I am not stuck in the corner of my room. So, I started dialing every male in the school that I thought would be by their phone. Third male was the charm. He sensed my panic voice and said be right there. Thank the Lord for Austin! Although, at first he couldn't find it, which got me all nervous because I CANNOT teach in a room while looking for a killer spider.... not happening. Anywhom, crisis adverted, he killed the spider before it killed me.

My dream of getting new carpet before Thanksgiving has been changed to after New Years because Jeremy somehow talked me into getting a new TV for the living room. How? I think I was low on sugar and he took full advantage of the fact that I didn't have the will to fight... I just wanted food at that point. So, maybe carpet in Feb?

Can't wait to see the babies all dressed up tomorrow! I will take pictures and post them later!! :)

And, Happy Birthday to my mom!!! 80 never looked so good! hahahaha... I am dying laughing... but she is not close to 80; anywhom. Love you!!

Walking for a Cure

What a great weekend! Jeremy and I were invited to dinner and to go see Rocky Horror Picture Show at a theater with another couple. I have never seen that movie, I didn't even know what it was about... so needless to say I was prettttty surprised that it was about a transvestite! haha! We had a great time; always nice to do something totally different.

Saturday morning started at 5:40am, wow. My mom, sisters, Sarah (close family friend), and I teamed up for Race for the Cure in Dallas. We raised almost $5,000, which is awesome!! We thought we could get there by 7am, but we were pretty wrong on that assumption! There were around 30,000 people (or so I was told) and good gosh it was so crowded. We ended up parking a mile away and we didn't get to the race until 7:30. So, we walked the 5K and then the 1 mile back. My feet were not feeling very fresh at that point! But, I had a lot of fun and it was for a great cause!




After a much needed nap and church we met up with Brad, Staci, and Matt for dinner at yummy Gloria's. Well, the guys decided to have a few margaritas to start the night, which is fine, but then they thought it would be a good idea for all 3 of them to squeeze into the backseat of my Jetta for the ride home. Jeremy is 6'2 and Brad is 6'4, and Matt fit comfortably. But, we had to listen to Brad and Jeremy complain about how squished they were. Oh well! Staci and I painted pumpkins while the guys played pool, had a few more drinks, and then decided to wrestle in our bedroom. No worries, this does not happen often! But our pumpkins came out really cute! Check it out :)

Halloween

Jeremy and I are going to a Halloween party and we need something fun to make for our costume! I don't want to go buy one of those skanky outfits that are sold. I kinda hate Halloween parties because girls think it is an excuse to dress like a hooker, sorry honey... now you just look like a desperate hoochie... NOT a fan! But, we are going, and we need a fun and appropriate outfit. Jeremy said months ago that he wanted to be Billy Mays, but not sure if he wants to do that still. Maybe I can blow up a picture of the Twilight poster and get a giant black box and I would be everyone's fav book! I need ideas people!!

Speaking of Halloween, I want to do some decorating, which means I need to do this VERY soon since it is already the 14th! Here are some fun photos :)
