QUICK! Take a picture!

I've pretty much come to the conclusion that my MOPS group is probably one of the most special MOPS groups out there.

Those 64 ladies are pretty darn cool, special, wonderful...(fill in a sweet adjective here.)

In more ways than one, they've supported me, inspired me, befreinded me, and provided me with opportunities that I never knew existed.

And the cherry on top of that cake?

Spa day.

Oh yea...

So nice, I'll write it twice!

Spa Day.

So, this morning I was exfoilated, lotioned, make-up'd, curled, massaged and threaded.

I loved almost* every minute of it.

So, I got home, and realized that with my clumsy track record,

and the fact that I live with two little boys,

I got out the camera just for posterity.

And to proove that I can, in fact, clean up nicely.

C. took this one:

Here he's saying, "mommy, you bootiful."

Be stil my heart.

See?  My curl is already starting to give in to the pin-straight rule of my fine hair.

Love it.

*threading is the devil's tool.  It is not recommended to do right after you've had a full face of make up applied.  You will tear, and you will smudge the make up.    Next time, I'm soooo choosing wax.

Guilty Pleasure Friday

This post is dedicated to my facebook friends who will actually take me on a debate politics with me.

Thanks for giving me more ammunition for believing in the right way to do things!!!

Guilty Pleasure Friday

This guilty pleasure friday is, again, dedicated to my big brother, Dan.  Who is- right now- on his way home from his TDY* in the Middle East.  And his birthday was yesterday.  I can think of no greater birthday present for him to be back in the states with his wife and sons.

And without further adieu...







*tour of duty.

Guilty Pleasure Friday

As we approach the time to start thinking of wall colors, furniture colors, colors to stain the trim, etc, I'm drawn to looking at interior design sites and consult with friends that know a thing or two about color.

Hence, this guilty pleasure poster jumped out at me.

This was obviously someone who not only remembers the 80's, but thrived in them as well.

Rock on, my friend...you're living on a prayer.

Guilty Pleasure Friday

Saw this poster, and laughed so hard.

This post is dedicated to the 19% of Michigan on the unemployment doles.

Thank goodness we get a new governor next year!

Have a fantastic Friday everyone.

Guilty Pleasure Friday

This post is dedicated to anyone who knows the difference between patience and wisdom.  And especially those of you who can apply both at the same time.

Happy Friday!

Guilty Pleasure Friday

This post is dedicated to all the Valentine's out there. (Especially those of you that do um....crazy, bizarre things for your Valentine's)

Guilty Pleasure Friday

This post is dedicated to all the sideways glancers at The Children's Place this week when I gave in to Colin (purchasing him sunglasses) after throwing a fit. 

Apparently, there are worse parents out there.

Guilty Pleasure Friday

Ok, this one id dedicated to my brother again. Since he used to be a cop and all...and is still in the middle east on TDY with the armed services.

Guilty Pleasure Friday

Here's one of my favorite de-motivational poster.  This post is dedicated to my brother- who as a youth- probably tried something like this with his friends Jon, Allen and others (scary, their names escape me at the moment).

Guilty Pleasure Friday

I have a friend on facebook from way back when.  He was actually my brother's friend first.  Then my brother left for the Air Force.  Anyway, we stayed in touch and occasionally saw a movie together or went shopping.  Funny enough, I haven't seen him since our wedding- but do stay in touch on fb.    He's a hunter and grizzly and funny...and totally a bachelor- so he has a ton of inappropriate motivational posters on his wall....but I find them hilarious.  Everytime he adds one, I usually crack up (some are just gross, though).  So, anyway, I found a site that I can pull from.  I figured I'll post some funny ones on Fridays as a guilty pleasure- so you can enjoy *snort* them too.
