Secret Santa

So, it's 8:00 at night and I'm just getting around to writing my post.  Ugh!  I've been working crazy long hours the past few weeks and I still have more work to do tonight but wanted to make sure I got this post in!

Kym, over at Travel Babbles was our hostess with the most-est for this awesome gift exchange and I am so grateful because this was so fun for a new blogger! I sent my gift to Hannah, and my Secret Santa was Kassi. 

Kassi did a fantastic job with her gift! Give me scentsy, and I'm a happy girl!

First off, her personalized stationary is so cute!  I definitely need to invest in some!

Okay y'all, if you drink wine or champagne go get yourself some of these NOW.  They are A-MAZ-ING.  You just put it on top of your bottle and then twist the top until it seals.  I opened a bottle of champagne, used one of these bad boys...and a WEEK later we still had bubbles!  Seriously, I love these things.

She also sent me some fabulous jewelry from Tori Spelling's line.  These pieces are awesome because you can mix and match the bottom  with any tops, so you can take an earring from a hoop one day to a dangle the next.  Such a fabulous idea!

Kassi, I can not thank you enough for your thoughtful gift, I love everything and hope you have a wonderful Christmas!!!!


If you want to see what I got Hannah, go on over to Hannah, Here! and check it out!

A Mom's Stream Of Consciousness

Hey Hey Hey, look who decided to show up today!  I absolutely LOVE my job, but the last few weeks have definitely been some of the most hectic we've had.  After an extremely long day, I came home with a splitting headache and decided to get in a hot shower. Before my first foot even landed in the tub, I hear "Mom, are you in the shower?" followed by "mom, I have to go potty" "mom, can we go to Grandpa's house?" etc.  Keep in mind, Layne is home and there is no reason I should have to answer questions through the bathroom door for my entire 15 minute shower.  It really started to make me wonder when I'll be able to hop in and take a long uninterrupted shower ever again, which in turn made me think of a lot of things mom's think but don't always say. 

A Mom's Stream Of Consciousness 

I'm going to pretend I don't hear her and maybe she'll go back to sleep for a little longer.

Why does my husband have to stomp through the house first thing in the morning on a Saturday?  If he wakes her up, I'm going to kill him.

I'm so hungover, I wonder if it's healthy to feed my child a pop-tart for lunch? ***This actually did happen on Sunday after my office Christmas Party***

Why does she find 8347709123 things to do every time I tell her we need to hurry up and leave?

I really need to finish this project, I'll let her watch one more episode of Bubble Guppies( or 3).

There's only one more piece of chocolate left, I better hide it so I can eat it later when she's not looking.

Can she go one more day without a bath?  I'm pretty sure she didn't sweat today.

Was that stain on her shirt when I dressed her this morning?

Please let us make it from the back of Target to the bathroom in time, I really don't want to be the reason I hear "Cleanup on aisle 3"

I know it's hilarious when she repeats a bad word but DON'T laugh!

Did she wash her hands before she ate that?

I haven't given her any fruit snacks today, where did she get that???

For the love of everything good and holy, go to sleep so I can catch up on my SOA.

What app is missing from my phone?

Dueling Pianos and Kacey Musgraves

I'm about to be in for a really long night.  I'm in the midst of doing 87937 loads of laundry so that I can finish packing everyone in the house to head to Houston tomorrow after work.  On top of that, Ainsley had to stay home sick today and I've got a ton going on at work to do, so I figured why not add to my lack of productivity this evening and stop everything to blog :)  Actually I feel like I've been a horrible blogger lately so I figured I better quit slacking!

Saturday evening was pretty eventful for us, especially for our little neck of the woods. Saturday evening we had tickets to a really fun event in town with dueling pianos.  If you've ever been to Howl At The Moon, it was a lot like that but in a much smaller venue.

We left the venue a little early to head to Schroeder Hall for Kacey Musgraves!  I absolutely love her and she put on a hell of a show.  This girl can really sing and sounds even better live!  Other than freezing our tails off, we had a blast.

 With one of our favorite girls...and Ainsley's favorite babysitter.

On a serious note, what the hell is up with this crazy ass weather?  We have had highs in the 40's for a week now, and that is unheard of here.  Clearly that whole global warming thing is BS right?  I'm off to fold more clothes and get ready for a weekend out of town.  Hope everyone has a fantastic Thanksgiving.

If Only My Parents Knew...

Looking back on my younger years, I was definitely a pretty good kid.  I had a lot of fun, but I told my Dad most of what was going on so I never had to worry about pesky things like a curfew.  In all honesty, if Ainsley is like me, I'm pretty sure we can handle it.  However, if she is anything like her Daddy, we're in T-R-O-U-B-L-E.   My husband was not exactly a shining example of the perfect child, but that's another post for another day.

There are a few things that my parents don't know, and hopefully they won't be too upset if they see this seeing as how all of this happened 10+ years ago(how am I that old?)!  While nothing was too crazy, I definitely could have gotten in a lot more trouble if I had gotten caught so I'm linking up with Two Thirds Hazel to spill all my secrets.

•  The summer between my junior and senior year, we moved about 45 minutes away from where I'd grown up so I spent most of that summer driving back a few times a week to hang out with all of my friends.  One time I got pulled over on my way for speeding with a half bottle of vodka in my back seat, luckily Mr. Officer either didn't see it or didn't care because he let me go with a warning and I was headed out to the Land of Sugar (Sugar Land, TX).

•  My first car was a 97 mustang and I would race other friends down a side street to the school parking lot, I also used to go down to Westheimer on Saturday nights with an ex-boyfriend and race my car on occasion.

• I used to regularly skip 1st period to go eat breakfast with friends.  I was an A/B student so clearly that class wasn't too important ;) 
• I have really good hand writing so I would write notes for myself and all of my friends to get out of school early.
• When we stayed at a hotel after prom my junior year, I told my parents that we had separate rooms and that other adults would be there.  There was not any other adults and my boyfriend and along with the presidential suite that our group had, my boyfriend and I got our own room.

 So, what do your parents not know about you?

Save The Drama For Yo Mama

I can't tell you how many times I've heard the phrase "Facebook is drama" or someone has told me that they deleted their facebook because it "caused drama."  You know what causes drama? You.

Just because you got in a fight with your significant other doesn't mean you need to get on social media and blast them.  All that will do is open a door for someone who's looking for an opportunity.  If you have an ex that keeps talking to you and you don't think you should be talking to them, delete them.  Safeguard yourself and your relationship, if not you will have no one to blame but yourself.  The couples that immediately change their status to single every time they fight are probably the worst.  Normal people fight from time to time, that doesn't mean you break up every-time you fight...unless you're in middle school, in which case, carry on.

This applies to friendships as well.  If you have a fight with a friend, there is no need to put your business all over facebook or twitter.  All this will do is make it harder for you to mend fences as all of your other friends will now have a jaded view of them.

I tend to shy away from girls who use the all-to-famous line "I only have guy friends, girls are too much drama."  For one, if you've hung around a group of guys you'll notice they have just as many issues, they just deal with them differently.  Secondly, when one of those guys breaks your heart, nothing can take the place of your best girl friends, that's the kind of therapy you can't pay for.  I'm a firm believer that we all create and feed the drama in our lives.  If you are not the one creating the drama than remove the people who are. And while we're at it, please delete your vague status updates.

Let's Party

If I've learned one thing through my short time blogging, it's that bloggers sure do know how to have a good time!  I thought it would be fun to put together a lists of bloggers I'd like to party with and who knows maybe one day I'll get to meet some of them and I'll buy s

hots for everyone!  And the first to get me a hangover cure wins!

Raven.  I think she and the fam can come down here to Texas and we can drink our way through the day while we let the kids entertain each other!  No, but seriously Raven, Colt needs a girlfriend right? 
We can enjoy some Texas vodka while we talk about how much Obama sucks and the men can take their guns out to deer camp and go shoot stuff.  I'm pretty sure it would be a fun time for all!

 Whitney.  Seriously, this girl knows how to have a good time.  We can pre-game with a nice box of carboardeaux and then hit the town.  Maybe I'll even take my first shot of fireball! Honestly, I'd never even heard of Fireball until I read this lady's blog but now I definitely feel like I'm missing out!  Fireball or not, I definitely can't hang as well as I used to so I feel like I would definitely need a few recovery days in order for us to party together!

Allison.  Otherwise known to most of you as Pink Lou Lou.  Aside from being gorgeous, I love that she is such a girl's girl.  Makeup, hair, nails, she's into it all and I'm pretty sure she would not get mad at me for taking forever to do my makeup before a night out.  I love a good poof, but I'm pretty sure if I had a PLL poof my life would be forever changed.

Kym.travel-babbles.com  I'm always game to party with a world traveler, I'm sure you get pretty good at finding the best spots to eat and drink when you've lived all around the world.  We can sit around and take picture of each other since our husbands definitely won't do it for us and maybe she can even take me to my first hockey game! 

Taylor.  Her blog literally has me laughing out loud every day.  Plus, she is a brunch lover like myself so we can get some early day drinking in and then head home and crash since I am getting way too old to hang anymore.  Tay, if you ever head to Texas look me up!

Juliette.  I really need to hang out with this girl just based on her twitter feed.  We can have a movie marathon weekend because her movie tweets are pretty much the greatest thing ever!!  After our movie watching we would definitely have to go to a bar because anyone who gets the bartender to make them an hombre shot is a winner in my book!

Birthday Weekend

Is this whole time change kicking anyone else's tail?  Between that and my birthday last week, I feel like I'm scrambling to keep up.

My birthday was last week, and Monday I was so exhausted from the time change I actually cancelled our dinner plans because I just wanted to go to sleep when Ainsley did.  Clearly 28 means I'm old. 

The last couple weeks at work have been super crazy, but in Oil & Gas, crazy is definitely good.  Can we say job security?

Saturday night we went out with some of our good friends and my parents to celebrate the big 2-8.
It started off with a nice dinner at the Country Club with a three Mexican Martinis, yumm!

From there we went to a local bar here in town to see a Piano player from Howl at the Moon.  That was pretty dang fun considering once the piano player found out it was my birthday, he played all of my requests first and kept telling everyone he couldn't tell the birthday girl no .  :)

We left there around 12 and headed to another bar in Victoria, needless to say the birthday girl has no pictures from this point on.

 My parents are cooler than yours.

 With Haylie

The got up hungover as hell bright-eyed and bushy tailed for brunch on the river at The Pumphouse.  I mean honestly, who can say no to bottomless mimosas?  Well try as I may, I could not choke down my food, so after about 4 mimosas and some good conversation this mama went home for a nap.

My bestie :)

With my baby girl.

Hopefully I can get some better stuff out this week, because last week I definitely topped the shitty blogger list!  Hope all you ladies have a fantastic week!

Laugh A Little

Normally when Ainsley is napping I use that time to do things like get food together for dinner or clean up the house. Lazy days like today, I'm stuffing my face with leftover Halloween candy and sipping coffee under a blanket while spending way too much time on Pinterest. I thought I'd share some of my favorite funny pins because everyone could use a good laugh now and then. Click here to follow me.

This is real life folks.  There are days you definitely want to strangle your significant other.

 I H-A-T-E camping, it's pretty much the worst thing I can think of.  Unless we are camping in a 5th-wheel, in which case, I'm in.

 Yes.  I would absolutely do this.  Hopefully someone can make this happen tomorrow for my birthday.

Please, please, please don't touch the hair.  You have no idea how much teasing and primping it takes to get it the way I like it.  I feel like Pink Lou Lou would have my back on this one.

Does anyone ever outgrow this?  

 

I'm sorry, but I really hate reading people's daily workout posts on FB.  I think it's great that you are staying healthy, but I don't need daily pictures of your treadmill screen.

Crocs are the worst thing to happen to shoes. Ever.

I can not handle food touching, please don't put food on my plate because if you put peas in my mashed potatoes we can no longer be friends.  If it was socially acceptable, I would have one of the children's separator plates at every meal.

Seriously, this one drives me more crazy than the fitness posts.  I'm glad you love your boyfriend/girlfriend but how about you tell them to their face.  This one probably deserves it's own blog post.



Hope everyone is having a great Sunday!  I've got to head to work in couple hours so no pre-birthday drinks for me until later this evening.

Weekend Recap

Today I'm linking up with Sami's Shenanigans for Weekend Recap. This was definitely not the best weekend ever(see picture two for details), however my husband had his wisdom teeth out and has recovered pretty quickly so that's a definite plus.

 one. Supporting the hometown boys at work on Friday, gotta love small town football!  #gomeangreen

two.  Saturday morning I woke up to find out that my credit card number had been stolen.  The thieves successfully took a good chunk of money out within a few minutes before the bank flagged it and shut them down.  Luckily I have a fantastic bank and I should have my money back Monday(fingers crossed.)  Needless to say, this was the face I made all morning.

three.  I opted for the round nails, still undecided if I like them, but it's nice to change it up every once in awhile.

four.  Anytime I trek to Victoria I HAVE to get Starbucks.

five.  I attempted to make a new Crockpot Potato Soup recipe for Layne since he couldn't eat anything.  I would share the recipe with y'all except that it didn't turn at all, so it was a big waste of time.

six.  Ainsley with her Uncle and one of her cousins at deer camp Saturday night.

seven.  Everyone in our family likes to take naps except for me, so during nap time if I'm not cleaning house...I'm reading :)

eight.  Layne took this picture of us this evening out at deer camp and I L-O-V-E it.  This may be one of my favorite pictures ever!

Hope everyone else had a great weekend, and to the D-Bag who stole my money : I hope you choke on a french fry.

Don't Drink the Kool-Aid

Politics are definitely a hot button topic for a lot of people.  One thing I've noticed recently though is that many seem to pick a side and stick to it, blindly following with no knowledge of what is really going on or what they are even speaking on.

I definitely lean more towards the conservative side of things in most cases, but I respect those with an opposite point of view as long as they know what they're talking about.  Nothing will make me lose respect for you faster than stating an opinion with absolutely 0 facts to back it up.

Lets take the Affordable Care Act (also known as "Obamacare").  For starters, are you aware that those are the same thing?  I've seen two recent public polls where people did not realize that those two were one in the same.  I am not a supporter of the ACA, it will be detrimental to our insurance and healthcare costs as well as the care we receive.  Don't believe me?  Do some REAL research, I've actually read the ACA, have you?  I don't agree with either party who wants to discuss this without the knowledge to back up what they're talking about. 

If you are going to debate this with me but all you've got is "The Affordable Care Act is good, because it guarantees everyone healthcare," than save your breath because you need some facts pronto to back that up.  For instance, are you aware that Non-Profit research hospitals like St. Jude could face fines because they offer free or reduced cost services to the poor?  Apparently, Obama is only OK with poor people receiving free healthcare if it comes from him. Forbes even talked about this very issue here.

Recently I've seen a lot of celebrities on twitter voicing their political opinions.  I think everyone is entitled to their opinion, but when you're making millions every year, you aren't going to feel the pain from this trash piece of legislature that much of the rest of the country will face.  My problem with celebrities is that with a forum like twitter, they have hundreds of thousands of followers, and unfortunately many will blindly follow the opinion of their favorite actor not really knowing the implications.

This issue does not just stick to the liberals, I have seen dozens of false claims online about Obamacare that I then hear repeated, and quite honestly it makes some conservatives look ignorant.  The ACA is not going to have your doctor implant a mircochip under your skin to track you or subject your house to government inspections.  These types of claims are absolutely absurd and I hope none of you actually believe these.

What most of this here rant boils down to is : Please do your research!  Don't let someone pull the wool over your eyes.  If you know what is going on and what could potentially happen, then you are armed with the best weapon possible, knowledge. (Sidenote : I also think you should be armed with a shotgun or two, and maybe a 9 but that's another post for another time.)

I Have A Monogram Addiction

After Layne asked me what I wanted for my birthday last week I started putting together a list of some ideas for him.  That being said, after the last 3 hours since being home from work I have decided I want a maid, a chauffeur, and a husband who doesn't act like a 2 year old when he doesn't feel good. So who's in?  *crickets*

In all seriousness, do all men act like this when they're sick or in pain?  Currently he has a wisdom tooth that is waiting to be cut out Friday morning and he complains more than I did through 15 hours of labor.  Sorry dude, but I hold the trump card, and will forever.  Suck it up, buttercup!

Back to what this post is all about...my birthday wishlist.  I thought I would share it because there's some pretty neat things I've found on the ol' Pinterest.

1.  I've been in the market lately for some cute and comfy new PJ's and these are adorable.  Polka dots + monogram = PERFECTION.  Found here.

2. Taupe riding boots.  I have looked all over for the perfect boots but have yet to find them, if anyone knows of a good pair that are not $300 please let me know!  Also, I have a tiny baby foot so I need them in a 5.5 which doesn't help.

3. For those that don't know me, I love coffee and wine so this mug pretty much sums me up.  I would undoubtedly keep this on my desk at work :)  Found here.

4. A black and white Aztec sweater.  These have been everywhere this year and I'm really starting to fall in love with them.

5. This southern pearl monogram ring from Southern Fried Chicks.  I'm a huge fan of their website and have been lusting after this ring for awhile now. It's pretty inexpensive so I don't know why I haven't bought it for myself yet.  Found here.

6. A weave, a la Pink Lou Lou.  I've watched the tutorial a few times and think I'm pretty close to trying it for myself!

7. A Double J purse.  There are a few I definitely wouldn't mind having but the one pictured is my current favorite.  Too bad these to-die-for bags come with to-die-for price tags.  Uggghh

8. Monogram State Wine Glasses.  This may be the greatest gift ever.  It combines three of my favorite things :  Wine, Texas and Monograms.  Found here.

If you take anything away from this list, it will be that I have a serious love for all things monogrammed.  Seriously y'all, it's borderline obsession at this point, do they have rehab for things like this?

XOXO

Weekend Recap...On Tuesday Night. Ooops!

one.   For some reason when I get busy at work, my jewelry starts to bother me and I take it off piece by piece without even noticing.  I looked down Friday afternoon and saw this.

two.  This is my 10 year old nephew, and yes he's almost taller than me.  (please ignore the curly mess on my head, it was rainy and humid)

three.  Sometimes I get my child involved in the selfie action.

four.  One of my favorite ladies and I at Western Days in Yorktown.

five.  Best friends waiting to ride the carousel at the carnival.  This picture makes my heart happy.

six.  Rick Trevino and I after his concert.  LOVE him!!!

What I Really Want for my Birthday

With my birthday week quickly approaching(it's November 4th in case anyone was wondering), I was super excited to get a text from my husband today asking what I wanted.  Seriously y'all, this is a man who has a history of shopping the day of the event for the last 6 birthdays.  I first asked for a new Double J purse that I want, as well as sexy time(hey, if you throw that out there it's pretty much a guarantee to get what you want!)  As we kept texting, the conversation turned to this :

No. I'm not kidding.  What I really want from my husband is for him to shave his head.  I have no idea why but I've always had a thing for a bald/shaved head.  I've been begging pretty much forever for him to try it just once but the answer is always no.  :(  Way to be a party pooper on my birthday dude!

Any of you ladies out there prefer your men bare vs hair???

I Hate Haunted Houses

Let's go back to the year I was Dorothy for Halloween, circa 1989.  The daycare I went to hosted a Halloween party one evening where the whole family could come.  Games, candy, costumes...sounds fun for a bunch of children in daycare.  Oh, and there was a haunted-freiken-house!  What kind of ass wipe wants to scare children that young?  Oh, you know, just my teachers and parents! 

Apparently my attitude started at a young age.

I don't remember too much of this party, and I'm not sure who had the bright idea to take a girl 1 week shy of 4 years old through the haunted house, but we did it.  Besides being absolutely terrified by the strobe lights and black trash bag walls(yeah they went all out), about halfway through someone grabbed my foot and managed to pull off my red Dorothy slipper.  Hell-to-the-no, you do not mess with mama's shoes!  At this point, I completely lost my shit and all I remember is freaking the eff out until my Daddy went back in and got my shoe.



Fast forward about 19-ish years and I had been dating my now husband for about 6 months.  His two cousins had come in town for a weekend and everyone had been discussing ALL day about how they wanted to go to haunted houses later that night.  I stood my ground and told them time and time again that I would go, but there was no effing way I was walking through those stupid haunted houses. 

We get to the site, where I learn that there is not one haunted house but three.  GREAT.  While Layne, his sister and two cousins get in line to buy tickets, I hang out and practice my deep breathing so I don't have a panic attack.  Layne comes back to inform me that he decided to go ahead and buy me a ticket and to "trust him, it will be fun."  After much deliberation, some guilt tripping and me being the new-ish girlfriend who's afraid that her BF just wasted $40 on a ticket I begrudgingly agree to try one.(Today I would tell him to take that $40 and shove it where the sun doesn't shine while I hiked my happy ass back to the truck!  aaaahhh marriage.)

Back to the story.  The first attraction they decide we should try is the chainsaw maze, um excuse me?  You have a girl here who is terrified and you decide the best option is to have her chased through a maze by MULTIPLE people with chainsaws?  F.M.L.  I decide that because there are 5 of us, I can just stay towards the middle of the group, and I'll make it out unscathed.  Wrong.  It takes about 3.5 seconds for the cousins and little sister to bolt and I am stuck with just the boyfriend.  After about 5 wrong turns I am in full blown panic mode.  The tears start coming shortly after and I close my eyes trying to let Layne steer me out of this hell hole.

Do you know what those ass holes do to people that are scared in haunted houses?  They make it worse.  I literally had people getting in front of me and tripping me so that I would be forced to open my eyes and look at them.  Approximately 28 hours later(or 5 minutes), we finally made our way through the glorious exit.  Once Layne saw how terrified I was and that I couldn't stop shaking we booked it straight to the concession stand where I nabbed the biggest margarita they had to offer, and proceeded to spend the next 2 hours letting everyone else wait in line and take brief tours of hell. 

The only good thing that came out of that horrible experience is that to this day, the husband has NEVER asked me to go to a stupid haunted house ever again.

I'm all for Halloween, but as far as I'm concerned, haunted houses can suck it!

Weekend Recap, Turkeyfest Style.

Every year, the second weekend in October our little town has something called Turkeyfest. If you're ever going to visit Cuero, do it during Turkeyfest....or during the last weekend in August when we have Wine Run, either way you'll have a blast and booze it up plenty. Turkeyfest is a weekend full of booze, bbq contests, concerts, booze, a carnival, good friends, booze, shopping and more booze. We are on a team, and this weekend is always something I look forward to.

Without further adieu, here is my Turkeyfest weekend via iPhone pictures.

  

Sending pictures to my friend Shannon who came from Houston to spend the weekend.  She was stuck in traffic and I was being mean ;)

 Getting ready to see my man Randy Rogers

 Shan and I headed out

 We might have seen each other 30 minutes total the entire weekend, but I had to get at least one picture

 My new Tervis.....I'm uhb-sessed!

 Shan and Ainsley at lunch before we did some shopping in town

She Will Be Free

Hey there ladies....well I'm assuming I have a few readers even if I don't have any followers.  I have watched this video a few times since it was released and it really speaks to my heart.  Josh Abbott is one of my favorite artists and the fact that he is using his platform for something like this is truly amazing. 

Celebs are regularly using their voice to speak out for people around the globe on dozens of worthy causes but we rarely see them speak out for something here in the US. Sex trafficking is a very real, very scary, very serious epidemic here and I'm so glad that Josh is bringing it to the forefront.  If you read this blog please take the time to watch this video and share it. 
I promise not to always be so serious, but this was something I truly felt moved to share.

I Don't Trust Mirrors

...So I take selfies. 

I have no idea how or why this started but clearly, I have a problem.

These pictures are never posted anywhere, well at least until now.  But they are pretty much always in the truck or at work.  I've gotten pretty sneaky at my selfie-taking skills in the truck.

 

They are not always good pics, but for whatever reason, I never delete them.  I honestly do this 3-4 times a week if not more. I really feel like what I look like in pictures is not at all what I see in the mirror and so I keep on with my daily selfies.

(Who doesn't love a good seat belt between the boobs pic?)

 

This is definitely one of my most embarrassing confessions, but if you can't make a fool of yourself on the world wide web for everyone to see, than where can you?

Seriously though, who has time to take daily pictures to check their hair and makeup?  Apparently, this chick right here!  Someone please please please tell me I'm not alone in this. 

XOXO
