Friday Night Sleepover

My daughter is having 2 friends spend the night tonight and they are going to watch the movie Twilight for the first time. I decided to have a little fun and play a little trick on her this morning. I told her this morning I couldn't wait to watch the movie tonight with her and her friends (even though I had no intention of watching with them). Well, if you could have seen the look on her face . . . total deer in the headlights look!! She stopped in her tracks, says "Mom, you know I love you, BUT . . . no 12 & 13 year olds want their mom to crash their party." I teased her a little bit more before I let her off the hook. The joys of motherhood . . . you've got to be able to mess with them a little bit :-)

Frump-A-Dump No More

When I left the house this morning, I felt reasonably cute in my outfit . . .an Ann Taylor cardigan with Ann Taylor Loft pants with a chunky brown necklace. That was until I got in the elevator with “her.” She was wearing the cutest Kelly green trench coat, adorable open toe black pumps, a large designer purse, hair that would rival Jennifer Aniston’s . . . I suddenly felt so frumpy. Yeah, she’s probably not in her 40s, probably doesn’t have kids so she can spend her hard earned money on being cute, but there are things I can do too. This is the motivation I needed . . no more sitting on my tush after dinner. The 10 pounds I lost are going to find a way back if I don’t get back on track. Those DAMN Girl Scout cookies!!! I bought the 30 Day Shred Workout probably 2 months ago – have yet to do it, but that is going to change. I’m heading to Mobile in less than a month and need to make sure my spring/summer cute clothes will fit. Tonight I will be rockin’ the 30 Day Shred!!

Quote of the Year

So my daughter broke up with her boyfriend. When he asked her why, she said "I'm 12, it's not like we can date forever." God love her . . . she is so much like me it's scary.

Wordless Wednesday

Let the Countdown Begin

I cannot wait!! In 37 days, Christal, Donna and myself will be headed to Mobile, Alabama to visit our friend Cindy. I desparately need a Mom's Vacation!!!!! We went last year and stayed at a condo in Gulf Shores, but this year we're going to stay put at Cindy's house and check out Mobile. There will be a little of this . . . .

and some of this . . . .

and more of this . . . .

Good times, good times!!

Please, Pretty Please

Dear Sun God -
Please come out. I need you, I REALLY need you. You came out last weekend with warm temps and teased me - now, that's not nice. If you don't come back out soon, I cannot be held accountable for my actions. I'm.Just.Sayin'.

Not Fair

Why do Girl Scout cookies have to arrive when I am trying to lose weight?? Don't they know bathing suit weather is right around the corner and I really don't need a box of Samoas attached to each hip!!!
