Checkin' In

Hello friends! I'm in the process of moving. That's where I've been and, oh, how I've missed you!

My blogs will be few and far between for the next few days, but please stand by. I'll be back with many interesting tales to tell.

Like:

Why I held an Otter Pop for 13 hours straight.
Why I knocked on the neighbor's door bawling like a baby.
Why pennys are more funny than quarters.

And then some...

Let it Be Known...


I do NOT approve America. I do not approve.
I was so upset when Will was eliminated that I threw the remote control at the TV. Then a toy car. Then s hanger. Then I tried to throw Ryan at the TV, but he was too big.
I loved watching that guy dance and I will never forgive America for voting him off. Never.
On a side note, if you are thinking of buying SYTYCD Tour tickets, don't bother. You can't afford them.

Our Little Mutant


We're thinking that one day she'll grow into that little bum crack of hers. Till then, no low-rise jeans for her.
How I love bums.

Such Sweet Sorrow

Remember when I first moved to Grapevine and I was totally overwhelmed about making new friends?

Well I did it.

I made truly lovely friends. They are kind, smart, interesting, and most importantly HILARIOUS. They are the leading reason why I'll miss Grapevine so very much. They threw me a little going away bash yesterday and I felt so loved. Thank you ladies for making this last year so memorable!




The is my friend Breanna. I love her! She is my sister in the gospel and my sister in So You Think You Can Dance. I wish we lived by each other for always. Doug's bff is her sweet boy, Michael . #2 is on the way.

This is Tristen and Megan. Tristen is so smart and lighthearted. I have so much in common with Megan, except she has WAY better social skills. She always knows the right thing to say and it is almost always hilarious.

Here we got me, Jennica, Megan and Tara. We were at Tara's house and it is fabulous. Look at the fireplace below. Sigh. And I will always remember Jennica's pee story, which inspired me to record my own.

Anna and Breanna. Anna is so open and willing to make you a part of her life. She makes me feel liked.

Meggie and Cherie. Also hilarious and beautiful women. I will miss them.

Not pictured: Christina, Karen, Krista, Stephani, Crystal, Michelle, and Hallie. I will miss you ladies!

I'm Dreaming of a White Kitchen

A new house is still a year away. Sigh. But a girl can dream, right?

Let's begin with kitchens. In my heart of hearts, I truly believe that my food can only be truly delicious if cooked in a white kitchen, with stainless steel appliances and a hardwood floor. It is the only way. After surfing the web, I have compiled a list of my favorite white kitchens.

Join me:


Kitchen #1. The brown paint against the white walls is beautiful! Tile back splash might be a little too traditional for my taste... but I still like it.


Kitchen #2: Very modern. Would I dare? Maybe.


Kitchen #3: Natural light is a must!!! Lots and lots. (did you notice the flooring?)


Kitchen #4: Wow. This Kitchen is REALLY white. Maybe too white. But look at those floors! The most beautiful dark hardwood floors in the world. I love them so much that I would lick them.


Kitchen #5: Tile floors. Pooh. But, while I've never considered myself an "orange" girl, I'm digging these walls. Reminds me of autumn time... the best time of the year. With a different back splash and dark hardwood floors, this kitchen would be unstoppable.


Kitchen #6: Very Nautical. I like everything about this kitchen, even the Navy fridge. Do you think it is too cold-looking?


Kitchen #7: I love the subway tile back splash. It is my tile of choice. Modern meets traditional.



Kitchen #8: So bright and cheerful!


My favorite kitchen would be #6... or #2 or #5. They all have lovely things about them.

Which do you like? If you could have a dream kitchen, what would it look like? Or better yet, post some pictures on your blog! Yes, do that! Post pictures!

What Happens When One Refuses to Take Their Nap and Then Watches PBS

Fever

I got the fever. Bad. It’s all I can think about.

I am watching THAT channel again. You know the channel, the one where all of the shows are a little gooey. Young couples. New additions. Celebrations. Big changes.

I get teary-eyed as I watch that channel. I dream in pinks and blues, greens and purples.

I know it hasn’t been long since the last one, but I feel like I’m ready. Ryan is ready too.
Especially when he watches the channel.
