Twerking and Spanx

Hey sweet friends, I am so sad that I am so behind on reading everyone's blogs, I promise I will get to it very soon. While on the road yesterday between Odessa and Fort Worth I had some time between singing my heart out to get come confessions together for Kathy's Humpday Confessions.

I confess...I think the real reason why my dogs hate riding in the car is because of the lack of singing ability I have.

I confess...at my sister's wedding rehearsal, I twerked in front of her soon-to-be stepdaughter.

I confess...halfway through the wedding reception, I took off my Spanx and was "free balling" the rest of the evening.

I confess...that I'm considering getting a 4' tall redneck pool from Walmart.com because Texas Summers are fucking hot!

I confess...I don't wash my hair but every 3 days or so, because ain't nobody got time for that! But no really it takes me forever and a day to wash this mop.

I confess...that just this week Michael and I have already googled "race of Panda Express's owners", "white beans", "Todd Chrisley gay" and "Justin Bieber's neck tattoo"...I am seriously beginning to think we have a problem with googling shit.

I confess...that I HATE working out and eating "right". It's complete bullshit.

I confess...that we have been so busy lately that all I really want to do right now is to sit on my ass at home and watch some mindless reality TV.

 

Cute Kiddos and Drunk Selfies

Happy Friday!
We have been so damn busy lately that I have not had time to even try to think about sitting down to put together a post. 

For example...we have 2 basketball tournaments, a baseball tournament, 2 weddings, a bachelorette party, then a bachelor party and then Lane's birthday...and that's just the next few weeks. I feel more like a crazy person that usual, so please share the crazy pills.

Then to top off all my bitchin'...Texas weather has been just plain stupid lately, we have "cold fronts" or rain every couple days so my allergies are HORRIBLE right now, my head feels like it's the size of a fucking watermelon! Andddd the humidity is so high that my long curly hair looks like a

short and voluptuous, but legit afro.  

Ok. I'm done whining.

Moving on... 

Today I am linking up with Darci at The Good Life for Five on Friday to give ya'll a brief fly-by of my busy weekend/week!

{ONE}

This past weekend we drove 2 hours to Fort Worth for my niece Payton's volleyball game and her birthday party at the trampoline park. Then, we had her mama's/my sister-n-law's 40th birthday party. Overall...we had a BLAST!

After the game we had Payton's 8th birthday party at Altitude Trampoline park in Fort Worth. Even though it smelled like feet, it's an awesome place to take kids for them to burn off all that damn energy!   

I can't even handle how cute these kiddos are!!!

OK...after all the kid activities...everything went to shit, so around 7pm that night. :)

I know as a blogger you are suppose to post "good quality" pictures but I truly didn't have any....#blameitonthealcohol

Yep...Drunk Duck Face Selfies.

Does it get any worse, folks?!?

OK. You guys get the idea.

 The vodka made us think we could do just about anything.
{FOUR}

Moving on, this weekend I leave for Austin for my sister's bachelorette party. It will probably consist of other photos that look like the shit storm from above and the madness that takes place in Austin! :)

This is the shirt I ordered to wear this weekend...I'm super excited!

{FIVE}

After being returned from the first home I placed her in because her car sister hated her, Lexi has found an awesome home with an old classmate of mine who has 2 kids that will love her forever.

She was dumped at our rural home a few weeks ago so if I ever find the piece of shit that dumped this 2.9lb baby, I swear I will throat punch him or her as hard as I can! :)

Have a FABULOUS weekend!

Here Comes The Bride...

Heyyyy!

Happy Humpday!

This past winter my dear sister became engaged to the love of her life and yours truly was of course nominated to be the Maid of Honor. Whaaa Whaa! Bachelorette Party. Here. We. Come. But before I get to bust out a move on the bar, just like she did at my bachelorette party, we have to come together for the more significant details of the wedding. So this morning I received a text asking when would be a good time for us to go bridesmaid dress shopping. **This totally reminds me that I need to get my ass on the treadmill before this wedding in April.** But we discussed going a few weeks from now and when she should send out her save-the-dates. Like most brides, to my sister the dress is probably the most important aspect of the whole wedding. She has put a lot of energy into finding her perfect dress, finally after a few months she found "the one". I'm very happy for her and if she loves it...I love it.

But for me when I was planning my wedding the dress wasn't as important to me as it was finding the BEST photographer. I said from the beginning of my planning that I would prefer to spend more money on my photographer than another element of the wedding. Weird? Maybe. But the idea behind that was...when the Hubs and I are 100 years old and we are bat shit crazy, our photos will still be around even if our minds are not. To this day I have gone through my engagement, bridal and wedding photos at least 3 times in the last year and half and I'm never disappointed that we spent extra for our fabulous photographer, Krystle Akin.

So, what was/is the most important wedding planning details to you?

Flowers? Photographer? Food? Dress?   

I'm gonna need to order this before the Bachelorette Party weekend!

Love, Marriage & 25lbs

First comes LOVE, then comes MARRIAGE...then comes 25lbs attached to your ASS!

With only a year and half into my marriage I find myself guilty of being comfortable with my hubby and not "trying" as hard as I did when we were dating! I think most of us ladies can relate to this on some kind of level. But with that being said, the Hubs will even admit to gaining the "first year fifteen" as well. 

So why do we get complacent with ourselves in the first few years of marriage? 

 I know for me, I made sure my hair, nails, outfits, skin and body looked a certain way everyday I was around the hubs when we were dating. To the point that I was borderline obsessed with the way I looked. It was my MAIN priority! Then came the proposal, I made even moreee effort during the planning of my wedding to make sure I was completely put together!  But after March 3rd, 2012 it all went down hill from there! But not in a "binged on Twinkies the day after my wedding" kinda down hill! It was gradual, 1 "cheap day" turned into 2 days....then into from the time I got off work Friday until I went back Monday. I found myself getting lazy with my food prep and planning my meals, along with traveling with JL's baseball team that would have us eating out or on the go the whole weekend. So now I find myself just as pissed as I was when the college "freshman fifteen" jumped aboard! 

Soooo....starting TODAY these extra lbs are gonna have to move the hell on...because my ass is not the place for them! :)


I had to post some of my bridals just to give me that little extra motivation to pull myself together! :)
