It's baaacckkkk

In the words of Madea, my second favorite person in the world, "hallelujer!"  Folks, we are back in the the 21st century.....we officially have Internet again.  Whoop!  We have been without Internet for over 3 weeks now.  It's been awful.  I know I've ranted about this before, but AT&T can suck it.  Basically after being loyal customers for 2 years, they suddenly turned off our Internet....without any warning.  My husband, who is one of the most patient and kind people I've ever known, immediately called and was informed that they had no record of Internet installation at our new address; at this point Adam went off.  We were furious!  After reaming their behinds a new one, he canceled service.  At that point, I told him to contact DirecTV since our satellite service is with them, and they had previously tried to sell me on their TV/Internet bundle before.  We've been with DirecTV for 6 years now, and have never had any issues with them before.  So, Adam calls DirecTV to inquire about their "bundle" and lo and behold, they bundle with AT&T.  At this point, Adam's been on the phone with AT&T for over an hour, and both of us were over it.  We decide to precede with the "bundle" because we could get a discount on our DirecTV bill.  We set up installation for the following week and moved on.  Except the installation day came and went, and after Adam called AT&T (again) to get the status, they informed him (again) they had no record of a request being made to reestablish service.  ARE YOU KIDDING ME?????!!!!!!!!  At that point, Adam said eff' y'all- we're done.  We called Comcast, set up installation day (today) which was 2 1/2 weeks ago.  So that's it folks, we've been without Internet for almost a month and we're finally back in business again.  I know, #firstworldproblems.  I will say; however, depending on my iPhone's fickle 3G service has been awful- today is a blessing.  Yes, I am thankful for the small things!

In other news......

• After my True Blood rant the other day, I found out yesterday that ASkars (Eric) will be returning to TB next season.  "Thank you, Lort!" 
• According to my BabyCenter pregnancy app I am 34 weeks today.  Can I get a what what?!  That means *fingers crossed* that baby girl will be here in at least 6 weeks.  This makes me so happy.  This last trimester has been rough.  I am so thankful to God for blessing me with the ability to carry a child, and for blessing me with another healthy child, but I don't plan to be pregnant ever again.  Pregnancy the first go-round (if you're a person that enjoys being pregnant) is great; you eat what you want to, sleep when you want to, lay on the couch for 5 hours straight when you want to, etc.  Pregnancy with a 3 1/2 year old (or any other child for that matter) is a whole other story.  It's hard; mentally and physically exhausting.  Because no matter what, your child needs you.  Parenting blogs, websites, magazines, love to tell you to put "you first."  These people writing these articles, blogs, etc. obviously don't have children or they have 1 child.  Sorry honey, but it stopped being "about me" the day my son was born.....3 1/2 years ago! 
• My second (and final) baby "sprinkle" is this Sunday at my mother-in-law's house.  I'm excited!  It won't be as big as my first "sprinkle" but I'm still so happy to be able to share this special day with good friends and family.  Bring on the cake! ;)

Since I can't stop quoting Madea today (Harper Beth must love her, too!) I have to add this.  Enjoy!

Total Letdown

I'm ashamed to say that I haven't blogged about True Blood all summer. That's weird, especially since I am a confessed "Truebie." My only reasoning is the fact that I'm building a human, and well, when all of that is going on you don't think about much else. 

*Warning: This post is all about True Blood and if you haven't watched TB this season and are planning to, this post contains major spoilers.

So this season has pretty much been a major disappointment. The first episode showed a lot of promise: a lot of Eric staring at Sookie with big, sad "I love you" eyes; Eric telling Nora to stay away from Sookie, Sookie attempting to kill Bill to save Eric, etc. After that first ep it all went to..."Vamp Camp." For real?? This is what I've been anticipating since mid-September 2012?? (Disclaimer: the only characters I care about on this show are Sookie and Eric (preferably in scenes together), LaFayette, and Andy Bellefleur). And there wasn't nearly enough of these story lines! What was the point of "vamp camp?" When did Sarah Newlin become a full-fledged psycho? What was the point of Terry dying? Jason becoming a "vamp-whore" (his words)? Did anyone even watch the Sam and Alcide scenes because I totally fast-forwarded through those? In my opinion, there's never enough of Andy B. I literally LOL'd in his scenes. Adore him and love him as a dad. 

I just feel like the writers said eff' it as far as this season went. I don't know if they got pay decreases since Alan Ball left the show, or they just didn't care since there weren't nearly as many episodes as last year (am I right?). 

One thing's for sure: if our beloved Eric was completely toasted to death in last night's finale I am DONE. They betta' know! Honestly, I think Pam got to him in time and saved the day. Guess we'll find out next year...

ASkars 4 EVA.

What's Going On

It's Tuesday!  The past few days have completely bypassed me.  Things have been busy in the Mosely hacienda!  First things first.....catching up:

• Ashley's baby shower for Baby Brooks was this past Saturday at Basil's, a great restaurant in Atlanta.  The restaurant was adorable, the food was delish, and the company was even better.  Brooks is sure to be a handsome little guy- he got tons of super-cute outfits.  It was such a nice shower, and I was so happy to be there! 
• Last night me and my fellow Gemini friend, Lauren, celebrated our June birthdays (I'm the 10th, she's the 17th) with 8 of our closest girlfriends at Carrabas.   Again, the food was amazing and the company was wonderful.  We both got surprised (thanks, Jess!) with a huge piece of their "Chocolate Dream" dessert and I cannot stop thinking about it today.  So delicious!  I swear, I've had the biggest sweet tooth this pregnancy.  Anyway, truly a great night with great friends.  I'm truly blessed.  Here's a pic:

 

• True Blood came back on Sunday.  Whoop!! I am so excited for this season!!  I'm most excited about the fact that we're already getting the sad/"I'm in love with you, Sookie" looks from Eric.  I.Heart.Him.  I think if I were her, I'd be all about re-living Season 4 (y'all know what I mean) all day long.  Holla!

I have been feeling so much movement from Harper over the past couple of days.  I love it!  She's always been active at certain points during the day, but it seems like I'm feeling her a lot more frequently now.  I think she's already practicing the choreography for Beyonce's "Diva" so we can officially hit it big and start touring together.  Once she's walking I'm totally going all Dance Mom, y'all.  (KIDDING!) ;)  For real though, she's really making her appearance known.  She's gave Adam 2 hard kicks last night (what's up, daddy-o?!) and he just started laughing.  I love her.  So much.  I can already tell we're going to have our hands full.  I went to the Doc today and everything went great; her heartbeat was good and strong, and my weight gain total is 17 pounds.  I'll be 25 weeks Thursday.  I honestly don't know how I haven't gained more than 17 pounds (thank you, Jesus) because I've been eating like an effin' cow.  I call it a miracle.

It's looking like we'll be moving this weekend (fingers crossed!).  We're getting our ducks in a row, and hopefully we'll be closing this Friday.  Yay!!  As soon as I know something more concrete, I'll be posting.  In the meantime, you might not be hearing much out of me over the next few days.  Still have a good bit of packing left to do and ends to tie up.  I'll try to post again this week, but if not don't be surprised.  I promise to get back at it as soon as I can devote more than 15 minutes to it.  

Enjoy your week!

Hump Day Musings

I might be speaking too soon, but I feel like I've hit some stride with my packing capabilities.  I woke up this morning, drank a big cup of coffee (decaff, of course), and literally, hit the ground running.  I haven't finished my list for today yet; however, I knocked the hardest things out first.  The rest should be a piece of cake.  Yay!  My new friend is bubble wrap.  I love it.  Being the major priss that I am, I hate packing with newspaper.  It gets all over my fingers and then transports to my plates, glasses, etc.  I can't stand it!  I know this is weird, but whatevs.  Bubble wrap has been a lifesaver.  I've already gone through the huge roll that I bought last week, so I'll be heading back to Lowe's tomorrow for more. 

This blog post is way too exciting, y'all.  We're discussing bubble wrap.......YES!!!!! ;)

Last night I rented Safe Haven off of the Redbox.   Surprisingly, it was really good!  It seems like when those Nicholas Sparks books get made into movies they're a hit or miss.  Of course, Josh Duhamel is gorge.  And the fact that he's play a widowed father of 2 kids?  Major turn-on.  I won't go into too many details for those that haven't seen it, but lemme' just say, the make out scene against a tree was almost too much for these pregnancy hormones to handle.  If I weren't such a buddha right now, I would've totally rolled myself off the couch to grab the remote for a rewind, but I'm just way too big for quick movements like that right now. 

I decided to bite the bullet and purchase JT's new album last weekend.  I'd already bought "That Girl" off iTunes a few weeks ago (fave summer song right now), and after listening to his station on Pandora it was confirmed: I must have the whole album.  Not to mention: I'm seeing his fine a$$ in concert in December- whoop!!!  Myself and six of my friends will be heading up to the A for this event.  Cannot.wait.  I will be 2 months post-pregnancy and will probably be packed into a full body spanx suit.  Do I care?  Hell no.  I'm dropping this shh.. like it's hot.  And then I'll probably need someone to help me back up.  Ha!  Anyway, I love this whole album.  My new favorite is "Spaceship Coupe" and although it sounds awful, it's kinda hot.  I just can't even handle him.

True Blood comes back on Sunday!  Agh!!!!!  I truly hope it's better than last season.  Last season was just so disappointing in my opinion.  I want Eric.  Lots and lots of Eric!

Btw, have y'all heard the dirty, nasty rumor that ASkars really is dating Ellen Page?  Wha???  I seriously don't know what to think.  Part of me wants to cry, and part of me wants to high-five Juno (Go gurrrl!).  My pregnant brain can't even process this right now.

Alright y'all, enjoy your Hump Day!

~LL

One more day left!

My eyes are swollen shut this morning.  I stayed up late last night watching the Naomi Watts movie, The Impossible, and I cried through the whole movie.  If you haven't watched this movie, watch it.  It's a true story based off of a family that experienced the 2004 tsunami in Thailand.  I have a weird obsession with tsunamis (don't ask.....don't know where/when this happened) so of course I was on board to watch this movie as soon as the previews came out.  I picked it up at the Redbox yesterday, and after I got my rug-rat in the bed I watched....and cried....and cried.   Trust me- it's worth the tears. 

So, I have news about the house and it isn't good.  Doesn't look like we're getting it.  (Sad face.)  For the past two days we have gone round and round via our Realtors with this offer/that offer.  We did stand firm on our final offer which we submitted Tuesday, but the seller was not on board.  Ugh!  So disappointing and aggravating.  I was talking to Adam about it last night, and we both agreed that if someone showed up on our doorstep offering to buy our house for $10,000 cheaper than when we bought it, provided we pay the closing costs, we'd jump at the chance.  I'm guessing maybe the owners aren't in such a hurry to sell because the house is an estate??  Who knows.  Honestly, I'm disappointed but I'm okay with the current situation.  It's all in God's hands.  Maybe He has something better for us?  The old me would fight for this house tooth and nail, not praying and asking God if this is where He wants me to be.  I'm just trying to listen this time around.  I know the answers (and house) will come with a little trust and patience.

In other news....have y'all bought Mother's Day gifts?  Ideas?  Aaron Mo and I are going shopping tomorrow morning, and I have no ideas of what to get my mom and my two mother-in-laws.  All of these wonderful women are different in so many ways, but I would like to do something other than a gift card.  I would look on Pinterest, but I don't have the time/energy to put together the "ultimate Mother's Day" gift; i.e. something homemade, super-duper cutesy, and absolutely over-the-top fabulous.  Pinterest has made everyone else look pathetic in the gift department if you hand somebody a card with a (gasp!) gift card inside it.  It has to be a handmade card, in the most beautiful calligraphy imaginable, with a balloon attached, an adorable poem, and a puppy.  For reals.  I can't handle it. 

 Final thoughts:

• I have a maj crush on Deacon from Nashville.  Loving the fact that he and Rayna are finally gettin' it on.  Knockin' da boots.  Bumpin' & Grindin'.  (I told y'all......this little girl in my belly has my Pandora station permanently on early 90's R&B.  "You Remind Me of my Jeeeeeep....")
• I put on makeup for the first time all week, and I literally came back to life.  I think I was a tad depressed until I put some eyeliner and bright pink lipstick on.  Note to self: wear makeup.  Even if you're depressed.  You'll feel better.
• I cannot stop jamming out to will.i.am and the Bieb's new single, #thatPOWER.  Love it!  Me, this baby bump, and Aaron seriously had a dance party when he performed this song on Ellen. 
• I cannot stand Sabrina on General Hospital.  I know this is a random thought, but it's been on my mind and had to be said.  I think she's incredibly annoying and it's high-time for Robin to come back from the dead.
• True Blood comes back on in exactly 31 days.  I am SO ready to spend my next 3 months obsessing over ASkars and who he's dating.  Heart him.

Enjoy your beautiful day!

Crushworthy

Confession: I watched the MTV Movie Awards last night.  For those that know me this is not so shocking, as I'm a huge awards-show-celebrity-watcher; for those that don't- if you no longer want to read my blog I understand (kidding.....please read!).  Two hours of my life wasted.  I only watched to see the teaser trailer for Catching Fire, and of course, they didn't show the freakin' preview until 10:50.  I was passed out asleep on the couch at this point.  Luckily, I was able to rewind and watch what I missed......which was not much.  Where was Peeta??  He was barely featured in the trailer!  Mama does not like this one bit!  I wanted to see a glimpse of the Katniss/Peeta makeout sesh on the beach and live vicariously through Jennifer Lawrence!  Grrrr......

I realized that I might have a crush on Tom Hiddleston.  He played Loki on The Avengers.  Yep, I just said that.  I did go see The Avengers in the movie theater (with my hubs) and I do know every character's name.  This is what happens when you let your husband pick movies on date nights. 
Anyway, I adore him.....just a little bit.  Here's a pic of him at the Movie Awards last night:

Via

My fave celebrity gossip site, Cele|bitchy thought he was douchy and cheese-tastic. but I thought he was delish. 

In other exciting news of that evening, Kim K finally wore an outfit that complemented her baby bump and her badonkadonk at the same time.  Winning!  She actually looked really pretty.

via

Selena Gomez sang her new song "Come & Get It" and it was horrible.  Either she can't sing, or.....she can't sing??  At least she looked beautiful.  Go here if you want to watch.


Look who was spotted at Coachella this weekend looking gorge........

Sorry for the lack of good posting today.  I'm sneezing like crazy and feel as if I could go to bed now and not wake up until tomorrow morning.  Damn pollen!

~LL

Is it Friday yet?

Aaron's at preschool this morning.  Hallelujah!  As much as I love being home with my favorite person in the world, Mama needs a break.  I don't know about y'all but this week has just dragged by for us.  Sunday afternoon we headed up to Kennesaw to spend time with family.  We had a wonderful time!  I noticed that afternoon Aaron started coughing, but I didn't think anything of it.  Monday the cough continued and he woke up from his nap with a low grade fever.  Monday night he woke up at 2 AM coughing with a fever of 101.8.  Bless it.  I gave him some Tylenol, got him some juice, and put him in the bed with me (poor hubs got assigned the couch).  So of course, I take Aaron to his pediatrician Tuesday morning where I'm informed that it's viral and has to run its course.  Ugh!  So after a long week of coughs, congestion, and fever it looks like we're on the up and up today.  Aaron has been fever-free for the past 18 or so hours (yay) and was able to head back to school today.  I blame the pollen.  I know allergies don't necessarily cause fever, but it seems like when the yellow stuff gets to swirling around your body reacts as if it has the flu.  Needless to say, we haven't spent much time outside since Sunday.  Ready to get back at it this weekend!

I also had a doc appointment Tuesday morning.  I got to hear that glorious heartbeat (156)!  I still have no clue what is growing in this belly.  I'm thinking it's a boy for sure.  Actually, most everybody thinks it's a boy.  We'll see soon!  My next appointment is April 25th and it's the big heart ultrasound appointment.  I'm incredibly nervous.  I feel confident that this baby is healthy, but of course there's the worry that lingers.  Praying every day!  I'm pretty sure I'll find out what I'm having at that appointment.  Eeekk!  I'm so excited!  I think it's crazy how this ultrasound will fall on Luke's due date.  April 25th.  I think that's him smiling down at me.  It blows my mind that I have a child in Heaven that I've never met.  One day I will.  But for now, I know he's my angel.  He's Aaron's angel, Adam's, and he's this unborn child's angel.  How blessed we are.

On a totally different note, are y'all watching Nashville?  I love this show.  Anyway, Connie Britton and Hayden Panettiere are the big stars and they always looks fab.  The shows website has videos on how to get Hayden's look on Nashville and I (of course) love it since I'm obsessed with makeup.  Plus, Hayden is gorge so who doesn't want to know what makeup she wears?!  Anyway, watching these videos makes me want to become a full-fledged Neutrogena girl.  I've never really worn the brand's makeup, but I think once I finish my Makeup Forever foundation/powder combo I'm hitting up Walgreens for some Neutrogena goodies.  This kind've stuff thoroughly excites me, y'all!  I'll keep you posted.....

Which brings me to the question, where's my Birchbox this month??

Before I leave you, here's a little eye candy in the form of ASkars:

I heart him. Via

Happy Thursday!!

~LL

Happy New Year!!

It's NYE!!  I'm actually excited for our plans tonight.  We're meeting friends for dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant and then headed back to our friends home for games, drinks, and (I'm sure) a dance party or two.  My sweet parents took Aaron Mo for the night so we can indulge in some much-needed adult time.  I honestly can't remember the last NYE that we got dressed up and went out (that's sad, right?).  Cheers!

So, let's just go ahead and get it out of the way: Kimye's having a beybey.  Celebitchy predicted this last week.  I don't think it's that shocking.  I guess she felt that her clock's ticking and her divorce is dragging, so she might as well get knocked up.  Please God, let this child look like her.  Or Mason.  Or Penelope.  Check out this link for the hilarious twitter reactions to baby Kimye.

What are your resolutions this year?  I have a few.

• To wear a bikini next summer.  I really, really need for this to happen.  For great beach pictures, of course.  MyFitnessPal app is downloading on my phone as I type...
• To let go.  Of everything.  To stop worrying about everything.  To pray and trust that God's in control.  To grow closer in my relationship with Him.  To be a better person.  A better mother.  A better wife.  A better friend.  Just be better.
• To read more. 
• To blog more.
• And finally, to stop cutting my hair off. We don't work well together.

Some things I'm looking forward to in 2013???

image via

The return of this guy (well more like True Blood) in June.   I'm sweating right now.

The return of this show next month.  Eeekkk!  Love them.


And of course, I can't talk about 2013 without talking about this...

Aghhhhh!  JHutch!!  Finnick!!!  Too much excitement for me to handle!!!

Is it bad that all of my excitement involves televisions shows and/or movies?  Oh well.


Anyway, from our home to yours...........

Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As a side note, Aaron got a helmet to use while riding on his "Show-Wheeler" AKA Four Wheeler, and he refuses to take it off.

Twilight Thursday

Tonight is Breaking Dawn premiere night.  I am pumped.  My girlfriends and I are going to the 10 pm showing at Tinseltown and I honestly don't know what I'm going to do with myself for the next 9 hours.  Torturous.  I'm also sad that the whole franchise is over.  Where did the time go?  I remember in late 2008 when everyone was talking about "Twilight."  I just didn't see the appeal.....until I finally picked the book up in December 2008.  Whoa.  At the time I was working as a Financial Aid Counselor at a local college, and in between working and lunching, I read.  I could not put the book down!  Luckily, the staff was given a two-week Christmas holiday, and between Christmas presents/money I was able to buy the next 3 books (which were, I swear, like 500 pages each) and finished the next 3 within 7 days.  That's how crazy I was.  I remember I finished Breaking Dawn New Years Day and I cried.  Horrible.  I had invested so much time and emotions into those damn books that I was depressed when they were over.  That's when the vampire obsession began.  Cut to late 2011, New Years Eve, when I picked up the third book in the Sookie Stackhouse series and the vampire obsession went from this:

To this:

You're welcome.


I've totally been stalking the Breaking Dawn premiere photos, and although I'm certain she's a hein witch, KStew has been looking pretty fierce thus far.  Exhibit A:

(http://www.sheknows.com/beauty-and-style/articles/976863/kristen-stewart-at-the-breaking-dawn-premiere)

Here she is in Zuhair Murad at the Los Angeles premiere.  I know critics have been off and on about this dress, but I think she looks stunning.  And (I will probably catch flack) LOVE this dress.  I do.  I think it's fabulous.  And, she has the perfect bod for it.  Somebody super curvy (a' la: Kim K, Sofia V, ME!) couldn't pull it off.  It's made for super skinny, straight people, but hello?!  Girlfriend's got bootay!  I'm impressed.  No wonder RPattycake can't stay away. He's an ass-man.  Taking note.  Moving on.

Here she is at last night's premiere in London.  This is my fave:

(http://stylenews.peoplestylewatch.com/2012/11/14/twilight-kristen-stewart-style-breaking-dawn-london/)

She looks hot.  Love the lacy, see-through bodysuit.  This is also designed by Zuhair Murad.  It shows just enough in my opinion.  Looks like the days of this are over.  Thank God. 

Now, off to catch a nap while my baby naps.  Got a big date tonight. ;)

Thankful

Over the past week, many people on Facebook and Twitter have been posting what they are thankful for each day.  Although I am not posting about my thankfulness daily, I thought I would post some things I am thankful for today and every day.

• I'm thankful for my son.  My sweet, happy, wild, adventurous, spirited, Thomas the Train-loving two year old.  Each day when I hear "Mommy" over that monitor, and I walk into his room and see him grin a huge Sponge Bob smile at me, I know that God gave me the best job on the planet.  
• I'm thankful for my hubby.  He loves me and our little family so much.  He works tirelessly to provide for us.  He is the smartest man I know.  He is the kindest man I know.  I often ask him, "What did you do before we met?  It must have been something awful." because, bless his heart, he got stuck with me (ha)! 
• To add to that, I'm thankful that my hubby has a great job that allows me to stay home with our son.  After going back to work for a very short period of time earlier this year, I realized that being home with our child is where I'm needed.  And for that, I'm thankful for the jobs I did have, because had I not taken those positions I would not fully appreciate being able to be a stay-at-home-mama!  With all of that being said, yes, if I were to have a great career where I made good money and truly loved what I was doing, I would be thankful for that opportunity.  I truly believe everything works out for a reason.
• I'm thankful for parents that offer me and my family all the love and support that we need and my sister- the Tia to my Tamara!
• I'm also thankful for my incredible friends.  It's true, the older you get the smaller your circle becomes.  However, my circle is beautiful, hilarious, fun, creative, loving, and I could not be more blessed for these relationships.  

Okay, a thankful list would not be complete without some randoms so here goes:

• I'm thankful for dry shampoo.  Without it, my day 2 hair would resemble KStew circa 2009:

(Image via: http://www.fanpop.com/spots/twilight-series/answers/show/35787/does-anyone-like-kristen-stewarts-new-hair-cut)

•  I'm thankful for: RyGy, ASkars, and JHutch, and (lately) Adam Levine because you make my dreams so, SO sweet.  

(Images courtesy of: thefashionisto.com, fanpop.com, twilightandtruebloodlovers.com, & wordsmoker.com)

•  I'm thankful for weddings because without them we wouldn't have Bachelorette parties and without Bachelorette parties we wouldn't have a good excuse to listen to old-school Kilo Ali and wear feather boa's.
• This week, I'm especially thankful for Mint Oreo Fudge Cremes as I have already consumed 3 of them.

 

 That is all.....for today anyway. ;)  Happy Friday!!

This is my life

Happy Belated Halloween!

I meant to post yesterday, but I had a cooking disaster yesterday morning that has left my hand looking like this:

FYI: Never let me fry sausage patties....like never, ever.  I was channeling my inner Pioneer Woman yesterday morning: turning a rotisserie chicken into chicken salad, and thought "Hey, while you're at it, why don't you fry up those sausage patties in the fridge and make your own version of a Sausage McMuffin?"  Um, never again.  My inner voice told me this was a bad idea as soon as I put the skillet on the stove (always listen to your inner voice, people!).  As the sausage was frying I flipped a patty over and hot grease splashed all over my right hand (cue bloody murder scream).  I think I might need a skin graft.  Regardless, my career in hand modeling was over before it started.  Dammit.

So that little kitchen mishap kicked the day right on off.  I couldn't even take a shower and wash my hair because my hand was in so much pain.  I had to break out the ole' 80's shower cap, and bathe with my left hand...hilarity.  I'm going to tell you what I wore yesterday so you can have a good laugh: black velour pants (because I think I'm JLo circa 2002), a gray tank, a long white cardigan, brown Uggs, and my greasy, unwashed hair pulled back into a pink baseball cap.  Sexay.  AND, I wore this classy number all day yesterday.  Heck, I couldn't even wear makeup- just lipstick, because of this hand injury.  To add to all of the drama?  Sophie May had her annual Vet check-up yesterday afternoon (shots, etc) and a new Vet has taken over the practice, and he's HOT.  I mean like, "What are you doing in Forsyth, Ga hawt?!?"  I literally couldn't have gotten out of there faster.  I started breaking out in that horrible upper lip sweat I do when I get nervous, and my ears had turned a bright shade of tomato.  As a side note, whenever I'm in a situation where I'm nervous, anxious, excited, etc. my ears always turn a bright shade of red.  Never fails.  If I ever do run into ASkars he's probably going to run because it looks like I might spontaneously combust.  This is my life.

Anywho, my hand is better today and I can actually move it without feeling pain.  Aaron and I hit up the dreadful Walmart last night (Tip: if you go to Walmart on Halloween hardly anybody's there) and I got some good burn cream.  We ended up staying in last night.  Aaron had already done the "trick or treating" thing last weekend, Adam was working, and I honestly didn't feel like getting a 2 1/2 year old out in the mix.  I was bummed, but Aaron's still too young to understand what Halloween is.  I definitely think next year will begin the fun, door-to-door trick-or-treating that we loved so much as kids.  I ended up cooking a pot of chili, and catching up on Modern Family eps.  Not the best Halloween, but not the worst either. 

This morning while the little tater tot was at preschool, me and my friend, Jessica, hit up Dillards, Belk, and DSW.  I was looking for some hot pumps for a Bachelorette party next weekend, and y'all I found them.....on clearance at DSW, nonetheless!

BCBG....originally $84.95 got them 30% off for $58.  Still a little bit too much, but they are BCBG, and I do need a pair of platform pumps as I don't have any.....I'm totally trying to justify this purchase and I can't.  It's frivolous and that's that.  I love them and if I don't bust my ass in them, they will be the best 58 bucks spent on shoes in a long time.

Alright, lovers.  Enjoy your day!

Better late than never!

I'm so behind!

I meant to post about the Emmys yesterday, but we're in nuclear meltdown mode in the Mosely pad this week.  We are in the process of taking Aaron's "bb" (AKA pacifier) away, and it has not been good.  Yesterday I was so frazzled by 2 pm, I considered checking myself into a hotel far, far away.  Today has been a little better, and I say little with emphasis.  I've almost driven up to Walgreens 3 times in the past 2 days to purchase "bb's" but I'm holding on.  Lord be with us......

Okay, so Emmys!  What did y'all think?  I personally thought it was a tad boring. :/  I was disappointed in Jimmy Kimmel.  I usually find him pretty funny, but the jokes were not on....or maybe I was off??  The only time I got cracked up was when Amy Poehler and Julia Louis-Dreyfus mixed up their speeches.  Here's my breakdown:

• Sofia Vergara is gorge.  She is hands down, so freakin' beautiful!  Loved the dress, the hair, the makeup- everything! Love that she was bouncing that bootay to "Conga" at the after party; check it out here.
• Claire Danes said "holla" and "baby daddy" in one sentence.  I haven't had that much respect for sista since she was making out with Jordan Catalano in the boiler room.
• Is it just me, or did Amy Poehler look hawt??!  Look at the girls- out and about on a Sunday night!
• Zooey Deschanel.  I love her.  She and her bangs can do no wrong in my eyes.
• Tiny Fey only gets better with age.
• Okay, I'm probably going to catch a lot of flack for this one, but I think Christina Hendricks needs a serious reduction.  I think she's such a beautiful, real woman, but dang, look at those knockers!  I'm sure she probably had pads in, but honestly I have never seen boobs that huge.  She makes Pamela Anderson look like a B cup!

Honestly, all the women were beautiful in my opinion.  These lovelies just stood out a little more.

Now on to the mens:

•  Aaron Paul.  Love him!  My hubby actually watched an hour of the Emmys with me and he was super stocked A. Paul won.  The hubs says Breaking Bad is the best show on TV.  Do you agree?  Might need to check it out.....  (And btw, how gorge is his fiance?!)
• The obligatory Jon Hamm picture.  We all know he's so handsome, smart, creative, yada.....yada.....yada....
• I don't watch Two and a Half Men, but I was so touched by Jon Cryer's acceptance speech.  The poor guy didn't even think he had a shot at winning, but was so honored and humble it broke my heart.  I'm officially a fan (even though I will never watch the show). 
• Max Greenfield.  Adore.  Love everything he says or does.  If you aren't watching New Girl, watch it!  It's the best show on TV!

That about sums it up.  I'm no Perez, but honestly I just found the whole show kind've lackluster.  But, guess who I did find out and about:

I'm pretending he just said something incredibly sexy to me in Swedish.

It's Fall, y'all

Happy Sunday, y'all!  Can you feel it in the air??  Fall's here!  This is, hands down, my favorite season.  Excited about: fun scarves, slouchy boots, leggings (and of course, jeggings), Pumpkin Spice Latte's, and (I have to say it), Breaking Dawn 2! About to keel over with joy.....for real.

Last night we celebrated one of my bestie's, Jessica, 30th birthday.  Here's a pic:

My 2 Jessica's & me: Birthday girl in the middle ;)

Had a blast!  Jessica is getting married December 15th, and I am one of the lucky girls that gets to stand beside her on her big day.  Aren't my friends lovely? :)


So, in anticipation of her big day (and simply for the fact that I'm not going to give up my glass of wine a night), I've worked out 4 days this week.  That's, like, a record people.  I met with a personal trainer Friday (consult came free with joining the gym), and I am putting it lightly when I say he kicked.my.a$$.  First, we sat down and went over my body fat percentage (terrible), and my goals.  I basically told him that the only reason why I wanted to lose weight was for completely vain reasons, but that the health benefits would be a great perk. ;)  After discussing goals, workouts, etc. he then proceeded to go all Britney Spears trainer on me.  I'm talking squats, lunges, climbing stairs, while screaming 8-count reps.  On top of all this, he was very attractive and every time I did look at him I broke out in a huge smile, forgot what rep I was on, and giggled.....nonstop.  What is wrong with me??!  Afterwards, he pulled me back into his office to discuss nutrition packages/personal training sessions that would cost upwards of $25 a week!  Srsly??  I'm already paying y'all a whopping $50 bucks a month- you'd think the training sessions could be free (especially when Planet Fitness down the road is offering $10/month plans)!  Welcome to the gym, folks.

Tonight is the Emmy's!!  Y'all know that I love nothing more than a good awards show.  And I don't discriminate.  I'm talking Teen Choice Awards to Academy Awards- I'm so there.  The following are my predictions for tonight:

• Lea Michele will be a total diva and do the pout face at every camera she can get her mug on.
• Jon Hamm will be gorge.  The girlfriend, Jennifer Westfeldt will look pretty and a little desperate (I stay worried about her.  She just seems so nice and I don't want The Hamm to break her heart.) 
• Zooey Deschanel (my fave) will be the cutest, funniest person there and I'll wish that we were BFF's.
• 30 Rock will win everything.
• Wonder if this guy will be there:  

YUM!!!!

I guess we'll see........

Happy Sunday!

Musings

Happy Tuesday, everyone!  It's a rainy day in Georgia and I am loving it.  I've got a great excuse to wear stretchy pants, drink coffee, play DVR catch up during nap time (while also catching up on laundry), cuddle with my baby and fur baby, and search Pinterest for something yummy for dinner. 

I hope y'all had a good weekend!  We spent it with family.  Besides the fact that the hubs was MIA, we had a nice couple of days.  Check my Instagram for pics if you're interested. ;)

I joined the gym today.  I've already FB status updated and tweeted this, as this is big news in the Mosely hacienda.  I honestly cannot remember the last time I stepped a New Balance sneaker into the gym.  I had an epiphany over the weekend, "why don't I join a gym?"  I was sipping on a glass of wine while in the tub Saturday night, studying my flabby belly (stretch marks, froyo, french fries), and it occurred to me "my a$$ needs to be in the gym."  After researching gyms in the area, I found a very convenient one down the road that offers free childcare 6 days/week.  How can I pass that up??  I literally have no excuse.  So, here goes.  By the way, how many times did I use gym in this paragraph?

Don't tell my hubby, but I bought the Hunger Games DVD yesterday.  (Rut-roh)  It's an obsession.  It's turning unhealthy.  I just cannot get over this face (and jaw line):

#4 Boyfriend (1- Rpatz; 2- RyGy; 3- ASkars).  This is ridonk.

And in other tween news, Breaking Dawn part 2 comes out in exactly 60 days.  Wonder if Rpatz and KStew will get it together for the interview circuit?  Either way, he's still #1 Boyfriend. 


Enjoy your day!!

Hellur!

Oops, I did it again.  I haven't blogged in weeks!  What's wrong with me?  Well, I can tell you what's wrong with me; I'm obsessed with "Eric Northman" (ASkars) and have done nothing but read all of the Sookie Stackhouse books, and catch up on all season of True Blood.  I'm exhausted.  Can I please just meet this gorgeous man?!  Can I please just have his beautiful Swedish babies??!  I think Adam will understand..... ;)

In other news, I got a job (whoop!) and we're moving.  A lot, isn't it?  I should have blogged weeks ago, but between the OCD over my Swede, and trying to pack up a house (again) I haven't had much time.  Maybe I can start blogging at night when Aaron goes to bed??  Anywho, I got a j-o-b at Allstate (just like my hubby) and I'll be a Claim Adjustor.  I start this coming Monday.....YIKES!  I'm excited, nervous, and scared all at the same time.  All I've done is be a mommy to my presh baby love for going on two years now.  I'm excited for this opportunity; it's so true that when God closes a door, He opens a window.  I'm excited at the fact that there will not just be one income, but two.  Adam and I can save money!  We haven't been able to do that in years.  I can get a new car (shhh....keep it on the low-low, haven't told Adam yet), and we can actually go on a vacation of our dreams, and for goodness sakes, I can give my Aaron Mo the best of the best.  I'm nervous and scared, too.  Scared about not spending most every minute of the day with my lil man.  I'm nervous about putting him in daycare, and I'm afraid he'll feel that I just dropped him off and left him.  That scares me to death.  All I can do is trust that we're where we need to be.  This job literally came out of nowhere, and I know there's a reason for it.  We'll see where this next chapter takes us...

As for moving, it is what it is.  All we can do is focus on getting back and selling the house.  I will always have a special place in my heart for the house, but our family has outgrown the place.  We'll see what happens..

Okay, since I've clearly sucked at not updating as often, I'm going to make a promise to update at least three times a week.  Don't give up on me yet! ;)

In the meantime I leave you with this.  Yes it's old, and yes I'm a dork that enjoys watching fan-made videos on YouTube, although this is not.  I will meet him one day.....this is true, my friends.

Puss, Puss!  (Kiss in swedish.  I'm SO ready!)
