I just LOVE her!!! :-)

OMG!!! Is all I can say! Isn't this necklace PRECIOUS!? It's from The Vintage Pear and I just got done playing around on her web-site and the stuff is so fabulous and really reasonable! Check it out! And tell my hubbie I want this for Christmas, k?

Eeevery Rose Has It's Thorn....

Ok, so I have had this series of dreams where I am dating Brett Michaels from Poison! Shhh... Don't tell Brian! Ha! :-)
Anyways, the long flowing hair of the musician is the only thing I remember when I wake up! What do we think this means?????


Quite possibly that I am envious of his long locks!?
Last year, right about this time my sister and I CHOPPED and I mean put a fork in it I'm done CHOPPED our hair off! We were going for the Ellen cut - short, funky, easy, ya know? NO! NO! NO! It was none of the above... I really didn't enjoy it after the 1st day and now I just want my long hair back! Or I can just dream about Brett Michaels hair instead :-)

Tonight!

Did I mention how totally stoked I am to watch the lighting of the Christmas Tree in Rockefeller Plaza tonight? From my own living room, of course! :-)
I think I am only watching for a few reasons:
A. Josh Groban is singing and he is handsome! And has a good voice too!
B. Mariah Carey is singing and word on the street is that she is preggo and I want to see if she is wearing maternity clothes yet or not.
C. It's festive! (My husband is saying "Bah Humbug" right now!)

You won't want to miss it! :-)

I'm BAAAAACK!!!

Hey Lucy! I'm HOOOOME!!!
Hello there! :-)
Sorry I have been MIA for quite some time - actually a REALLY long time according to my last post! My baby is so itty bitty in the pictures I put up last - with two tiny teeth and crawling. Might I just say that Miss Josie is now a bright shining star of a ONE year old!!!
AND walking everywhere - destroying anything in her path if she can get ahold of it (I kid, she's a gem - but pretty much a Tasmanian devil).
I have NO IDEA (here let me practice my Spanish: Yo Quiero Ni Idea) where to start with catching everyone up... oh, wait a sec let me explain the Espanol - we leave for our Mexican vacation January 1st! Yes... that's right ladies and gents, Josie is going abroad! Not exactly sure how we will manage on the airplane, but more on that later! I can hardly wait to sip a daiquiri (or 2 or 3 or 8), lounge in the sun, read, read, read and of course SCUBA dive!
The hubster and I got our scuba certifications a few weeks ago after about a million hours in the pool (my hair will never be the same) and some classroom work (ugh!) - we are certified to head into the deep (minus any sharks) and scuba scuba scuba
Thanksgiving was wonderful! My sister hosted for the 2nd time in a row and there were about 18 of us, I believe.
Poor little Josie had a cold (trying to get over Pneumonia) but was still looking darling as ever in her turkey dress (that will fit her the rest of her life!)
Now that we have all of that covered... can I just say that I made a complete fool out of myself just a little while ago... all for the love of children! I was trying to make my daughter smile by dancing to Mariah Carey's Christmas CD. As I was jiving like the complete doofus I am, I began to think of Carlton from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and how he would dance!!!
H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S!!! :-) Just call me Carlton!
~It's great to be back! More soon! xoxo~

My Sweet Girl!!!

Hey y'all!
So, for the 1st time EVER I spent the weekend away from my baby girl!!! We're talking Friday night, Saturday night, and not laying eyes on her until Sunday at 4:30PM after being in traffic and chugging Diet Coke (and then stopping 10 minutes from home to pee!) Now don't get me wrong... it was quite luxurious to sleep a whole 10 hours at night, knowing that she was in her papa's care and they had SUCH an amazing time together!!! :-) Yay for success! But when you are used to being around a baby day in and day out - you get lonesome for them! It's just SOOOOO good to be home! And feel her soft chubby legs, and see her top tooth poking through, and give her a bath and snuggle her! OHHHHH how I love my girl!!!

The M-O-U-S-E (not Mickey Mouse either)

So, about 2 evenings ago... My husband comes to bed around 11:00 PM just as I am waking from my 3 hours of sleep thus far (yes, I go to bed WAAAY before him... I know I'm a baby... I need my sleep tho people) and am heading to the door to go to the bathroom and he grabs me by the shoulders quite calmly, looks me straight in my sleepy eyes and says "Maggie, there is a mouse in the house." Now I am not one to exaggerate (NOT! I am a total drama mama!) but I do believe the first thing I did was slam our bedroom door and grab onto my husband as tho we were on the Titanic and it was going down. (And p.s. I am pretty sure that little ole' Mousey McMouserton could squeeze his little germ infested body under our bedroom door as well.) So there we are, me squeezing the life out of my hubby and him pushing me away like I have cooties or something and he says "Everybody gets them Maggie! Everybody!" As though we are talking about some common cold or something! SEEERIOUSLY! Not me! Not this chick! I DO NOT GET MICE! So I climb back into bed with goosebumps covering my body and cling to Brian (again, as he is pushing me away) and start asking him 1,000 questions:
"Babe, did you set any traps?" "Yes... 3"
"Babe, where did you set the traps? "Kitchen, living room, basement."
"But honey, what if it climbs into our bed?" "It's on my face right now."
"Babe, what did it look like?" "Field mouse. Small."
"Babe, was it carrying a Juicy Couture purse? "No, a Coach one."
And so on and so forth... all the while my husband is getting more annoyed and impatient with me (really, I have no idea why he would be)... and ends the discussion by saying "Enough! I am going to bed. I never should have told you!" And I comeback with "I know! You shouldn't have told me! What am I going to do NOW?" And that was that - quiet took over and we let Jesus Take The Wheel....
This is DEFINITELY a 2 part story - because I have been waiting for the CLICK of a mousetrap to go off... And have not yet had the pleasure of hearing it! :-( I just KNOW that the mommy and daddy McMouserton's are reproducing as we speak and pretty soon it will be like the Duggar family in my basement "19 and counting!" AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I can't take it! I think I shall take my Juicy Couture purse and sleep in my sleek new mini van - Also, another story!
Til then...
God Speed.
