Here I am!

Yes, I am still alive!! Kind of.

I have been so tired, and so sick the last couple of weeks. I missed Goodwill Wednesday. Sorry, ladies. But I've also realized that the Goodwill here sucks, so I don't even think it's worth playing anymore. They don't have very good treasures. So, unless I go to Austin where the Goodwill's are "cool", I'm not going to participate.

Now, on to this whole pregnancy thingy. I feel HORRIBLE! I haven't thrown up yet, but I almost wish I would. This is the worst feeling ever! Don't get me wrong, I am so, so happy that I am pregnant. This is something I've wanted since I was little! Is that weird? But really, all I ever wanted when I was little was to be a Mommy. I will put up with all the sickness if it means I get to hold a perfect little baby in March. We went to my appointment last week and got to have another ultrasound. The baby looks like a smashed grape! This is my 7w2d ultrasound:

Aww. Isn't it so cute? I'll be glad when I can tell what it is! We go back August 4, and we should be able to hear the heart beat. I can't wait! They are monitoring my blood pressure and adjusted my medicine for that, so I have to keep that under control.

Blue Eyes and I will become husbee and wifee on August 15 in a very small ceremony. I am looking forward to being Mrs. Blue Eyes! Only, my eyes are green, so, uh, that doesn't really make sense. Oh well!

And I am very sorry for not blogging, or leaving comments. Please understand that it took A LOT for me to write this. Now I need a nap.

Goodwill Wednesday-Edition 3

Allow me to introduce you to Tito.
Tito never leaves his dog house without his stylish bandanna, too-cool-for-school shades, a sweet leather jacket, and a nice little hoop earring.

When Tito isn't chowing down on homemade tacos and rice, he is at the local pool hall, drinking his favorite beer, Miller Light. His theme song is Low Rider, and I'll let the video prove to you, just how kick ass Tito really is.

(sorry about the poor sound. i took this with my blackberry, in my office, hoping nobody would walk by.)





Don't forget to go here to see other awesome Goodwill Treasures!!

Goodwill Wednesday-Edition 2

Oh you lucky devils.

Today, on the second edition of Goodwill Wednesday, you get a two-fer-one, AND you get to see Blue Eyes looking his best.

This trip to Goodwill was much better than the first trip. I found two excellent treasures that I HAD to share with you. I don't know what was going through whoever's mind when they dropped these items off, because as you will see in a hot minute, they are to.die.for.

(please ignore his strange facial expressions. It's the only way I could get him to model my treasures)

OK.....for your viewing pleasure I give you:

The fashionable, head warming, rabbit fur-hat-thingy:
Wow. Just wow. I'm not sure what's worse. The hat. Or the face he's making. Can I drop HIM off at Goodwill? Just sayin.

Secondly, my Blue Eyes is modeling the most professional looking Fred Flintstone tie I have ever seen. Ever.
Just so you can see what the whole "outfit" looks like.....and yes, it is now his favorite outfit.....
There you go peeps. Your second edition of Goodwill Wednesdays.

And, don't forget to visit The Two Twins to see what kind of awesome they found this week!!

Happy Hump Day Yall!!!

Goodwill Wednesday-Edition 1

Welcome friends!!

Today brings the first edition of Goodwill Wednesday! Every Wednesday, (until I get tired of going there, because eww and yuck) I will be presenting you with my newest treasure that I have added to mine and Blue Eyes' home decor. He is totally thrilled by the way. Anyone catch that sarcasm? Anyone?

My lovely ladies over at The Two Twins are joining me on this, so after you read all about my awesome treasure, don't forget to go over there and check their's out!!

Ok, on with the show!!

As soon as I walked in to Goodwill, I noticed how many people were there! My gosh. It was like a 50% off sale at Bloomingdales was going on. I moseyed on back to the "knick knacks", if you will, and was very disappointed with my findings. If this is how it's going to be every time I go, I will have to resort to buying cheap, disgusting, tacky heels that they were offering in the "shoe section".

I walked around for about 5 minutes and then I saw it. I've really been wanting a little something to go with our neutral colored living room to spice things up and when I saw this guy, I could NOT pass it up.

Ladies and Gents, I give you,

The freaky looking lamb thing with cock-eyed eyes candle:

Perhaps my favorite thing about this little treasure is the dirt all over his face. It really gives it that special touch, don't you think?

Can I be honest here? My insides were so happy that this little fella was going to be all mine for only 39cents. I mean, what a BARGAIN, right? I'm just glad I got there when I did, because who knows how much longer he would have been available!

I'm thinking about putting him on Blue Eyes' night stand and lighting it. Can you imagine waking up to those eyes?

And just for the record, when B.E. found out what I was doing, he said, very nicely, "You are retarded."

Aww...love.....

Well, that's it for now. Come back next Wednesday and see what God awful piece of crap treasure I can find!!

Thank You!

First of all, thank yall so, so much for the nice comments that were left on my post yesterday. Even though I don't personally know most of yall, it still meant a lot to me.

My Mom is going to be ok! Her Doctor wanted her to come in yesterday, and he told her it was not a "bad" tumor and it looked liked she has had it for awhile. He said something about blood vessels forming.....I'm really not sure. I just know that she is going to be ok. I was really worried and I know she was too, so I'm very thankful that she got some good news. So thank yall again for the prayers and positive thoughts that were sent!

I started my diet today. So far, it's going good. I mean, it's only 10am, but still, I'm doing good! This morning for breakfast I ate 2 hard boiled eggs and I drank a hot and spicy V8. I'm not a big fan of V8. It is so thick and it's really hard to swallow, but at least I got a full serving of vegetables at breakfast! Hopefully, I will learn to love it. I have to really plan all my meals and snacks the night before so I'm not sure I really like the time that took me last night, but I think it will be worth it.

Blue Eyes and I went and played tennis last night. We stayed for approximately 7 minutes. A tennis player, he is not. I wish I knew someone here that played tennis. I think it was his goal to be as bad as he possibly could be, so that I would stop asking him to play with me. Sneaky.

OH the thing, from the other day, that I couldn't tell yet? I had a job interview for a company that I've been wanting to work at for awhile. She said she would call me for a 2nd interview, but she hasn't yet, and now I'm not excited about it anymore. Oh well. Something will come along.

And lastly, my girls over at The Two Twins and I will be starting something next Wednesday we would like to call, Goodwill Wednesday. We will be purchasing treasures from the wonderful place known as Goodwill, and posting pictures of them for your viewing pleasure. Just in case you don't know what can be found at Goodwill, you will after next Wednesday. And what's so fun is that we will be able to see the different treasures from Texas and Pennsylvania! This should be interesting. I am also planning on selling all my treasures on here, so be sure you place a bid, because I have a feeling you are not going to want to miss out on the awesomeness that I will be selling!

Have a great Thursday!
