Bathing cuteness

Mooks sat outside by the pool with me today. She didn't get in because the water was painfully cold. We also found a snake skin out there... That's all.

Ripped in 30

I dont need to be ripped- I'd settle for crinkled. I'm starting Jillian michaels ripped in 30 program. I have been doing her workouts for a while with no significant weight or inch loss so I thought I'd dive in whole heartedly. I started with week 2 because week one seemed too easy. Week 2 was hard, but definitely doable. One exercise whooped my booty- crow pushups- google it- they suck. I took before pictures, but as I was editing them to post I just couldn't do it. The world or 7 people that read my blog don't need that image in their heads. Maybe if I have some significant results in 30 days I'll post them and taint your eyes forever. So...here's to hoping I can finally get back into my clothes!!!

Prom pictures for the "yearbook"

 I know there is usually a theme at prom, but we just went with Tessa's school colors. I also wanted to put her mascot on top of the cake, but after I got it done I thought that little potato men would ruin the look I was going for. There was murder, mystery, "dancing", and eating. I was supposed to be the yearbook girl so I got tons of pictures for our "yearbook".

 

Since I never went to prom I had to wing it with the decorations. I know there is usually a theme, but we just went with Tessa's school colors. I also wanted to put her mascot on top of the cake, but after I got it done I thought that little potato men would ruin the look I was going for. There was murder, mystery, "dancing", and eating.

Panic at prom birthday party

My little brother wanted me to help him throw a party for his wife so of course I was all about it. I love party planning and if you know me you know I'm all about the details. We decided a murder mystery would be awesome and since we had originally wanted to do a prom party we made prom the scene of the crime. Every couple invited was a stereotype from high school. It was hilarious! Taylor got to be a nerd and I got to put makeup on her so it was a win win.

Therapy

I like to do yard work- it's therapeutic. Until today. I was outside pulling weeds in the yard- getting some sun- ignoring the screaming in the house- pushing the mooks in her little car. I was pulling several weeds that were growing through the rock steps and hanging in for dear life- when I saw it. Right under my nose- ya know when people say, "If it had been a snake it woukd've bit me!"? Well it was a snake and holy Hannah of habbekuk it freaked the living mule out of me. I ran screaming to the house and slowly spelled what was in the yard so the kid wouldn't freak out- I don't know where they get that. Jeebs got a weenie roasting stick to poke it with. I was still dancing around in freaked outness because my hand had been so close to that snake! The little sucker slithered out then back in under a rock and disappeared. So there goes my therapy! Every time I walk out there I will just see a haven for snakes and what round up can't get may have to stay until I get over it. Ahhhh!

This is what my kids consider helping me make something. He licked and licked and licked the chocolate off the beater.

Summer Sundays

Summer is finally here and we plan to take full advantage of our new freedom. The roses and raspberries are coming up like...well...roses. There are also weeds coming in all over that look like dandelions on crack or steroids whichever makes them bigger. Mooks is enjoying her nakedness which I would let her take more advantage of if she wouldn't pee on things like the couch or her brother's hotdog bun, yeah that happened.

Also if that skank of a scale doesn't start going down soon, I'm gonna hurt somebody. It's like a cruel joke week after week for the last 8 months. So yeah, I can feel a weight loss blog coming soon. I ran a 5k last weekend- by myself. As in, I put on my phone I want to run a 5k and I ran until it told me to stop. So- if you run 3.1 miles shouldn't you automatically lose 5 pounds? I think so. But, no, nope, nada, zero, nothing. It's delicious. In other news, I can do Jillian Michaels workouts like a boss!
