Friday Funday

Before I start my post for today, can we just appreciate how amazing Pippa looks while promoting her new book at a Halloween party yesterday?

There's my fave Brit rocking an LBD with sparkly green panels.  According to Daily Mail, this dress is designed by Markus Lupfer.  It retails for $249, and although that's way too much for me to pay for a dress, I'm impressed that she's not wearing something that doesn't seem too far-fetched.

Above our girl is wearing a tweed Stella McCartney that retails for $1,500.  Lerve.

Is she not gorge?  I love her.  This is my second post about her and as you can see, she's a major girl crush.  I heart her almost as much I heart Harper Beckham.....almost.

The cheeks, the hair, the headband, the dress, the chubby feet stuffed into those sweet sandals.....God, please give me a baby girl that looks like Harper Beckham!

Annnnnddd, let's add Beck's to that list, too, K?


 Yesterday I ordered the book The Sneaky Chef by Missy Chase Lapine off Amazon.  I'm now having buyers regret......did I really need this book?  Obviously, I'm buying it for good reasons.  Aaron will eat any kind of fruit I put in front of his face all.day.long, but as soon as I give him a serving of green beans his nose turns up immediately. 

Milk is also an issue.  He'll drink chocolate milk any hour of the day.....regular milk not so much.  I recently switched to Almond Milk because:
a) It's better for you (I think).
b) It has a sweeter taste than regular milk, and I thought that that might help with the milk consumption

So far, it's not working.  I've told him he'll grow "big and strong" if he drinks his milk and he gives me the "mom, you're crazy" face.  If I tell him, "you'll be able to run fast and jump high if you drink your milk" he takes one big sip, looks at me, grins, and says "Mommy, I want duice."  Grrrr.....

Luckily, he loves yogurt so I'm giving him plenty of that.  Plus, he's a big cheese fan (shocker) and eats cheese every day.  I'm just hoping this book will help not only balance him out, but balance all of us out.  I'll admit that I don't eat enough veggies, and Aaron definitely eats more fruit than I do.  We'll see.  I'll let y'all know how the recipes turn out.  Any tips would be appreciated!

Enjoy your Friday!

Would you rather??

People finally released the much-anticipated Justin/Jessica wedding pic cover today.  Here it is in all of it's (or should I say Justin's) glory:

These are my thoughts:

• I feel bad for Jessica.  She got the raw end of the deal.  She picked the wrong Mouseketeer!  Hello?!  Ryan G??!  Do I need to break out the "Cry for You" performance??  

• Another reason I feel bad for Jessica: that hein dress.  Why, why, WHY???  She's so beautiful.  I think a touch of pink (a sash, a pair of shoes, a garter) is great.  A dress dipped in pink?  Too much.  Plus, she's the bride.  It's her day.  Why is he the center of attention?  So not surprising.  Look at her face: she's totally questioning what the hell she's got herself into.

I give it a year, y'all.

Those are my thoughts.  Honestly, I'm just over it.  He hasn't done much for me since 2007.

This guy on the other hand:

Um, yes. (image courtesy of people.com)

 I can only imagine the dramz I will inflict upon myself once he and Eva (biotch that pretty Cuban actress) announce their engagement.  Lots of heavy drinking, no showering, Edy's Peanut Butter Cup ice cream consuming, double features of Murder By Numbers/Crazy, Stupid, Love replaying over and over again.  Adam's seriously going to divorce me.

Which do you prefer?  This?

Or this hotness:

I thought so. ;)

Girls

Over the past few months I've noticed some of my FB friends posting about this little new HBO show titled, Girls.  After reading yet another status update about one particular, hilarious episode ("The Crackcident"), I decided to get my act together and set the show up on DVR.  Well lemme tell you, I'm so glad I did!

I watched the first 3 episodes of this show last night until 12:30.  I would have watched the next three episodes that were recorded, however; it was 12:30 and I had to make myself go to bed.  One word: hysterical.  If this isn't the perfect example of "girls" these days, I don't know what is.  I loved it!  Lena Dunham is hilarious, self-deprecating, and I just want to hang out with her.....every day.  Everyone is fantastic, really.  Watch.  You'll be glad you did.

Here's a clip of an epi that I have yet to watch, but am so looking forward to:

Dead Recap & other shenanigans...

Alright, first things first.  Let's talk Walking Dead, folks.

• Rick is quite the a-hole these days, huh?  Okay I get it.  Your wife cheated on you with Shane.  Technically, she thought you were dead, and let's all just admit that pre-psycho Shane was pretty damn hot.  Then, Shane went all Fatal Attraction and ending up "making" Rick kill him.  Whatevs.  It's over....Shane's gone...move on, Rick.  You've got a lil' bambino on the way, and your son is seriously on.my.nerves.
• Hershel survived.  How on earth that happened, I have no idea.  I kinda wanted him to get all zombie-fied, y'all.  Wouldn't that have been the most freaky/hilarious thing ever?
• Carol killed a zombie and then performed a "caesarean" on said zombie.  Whattt????  That's cray, girlfriend.
• Rick killed 2 convicts without the blink of an eye.  Someone's taking this "take no prisoners" thing seriously. 
• And, since I am such an obsessive WD fan, I also DVR Talking Dead which comes on at 11 on AMC Sunday nights. Annnndddd, guess who's making a reappearance next Sunday??!!!!

MERLE!! T-Dog betta run!!  (image courtesy of: http://tvfilmnews.com)

 

 

 

 

This weekend flew by.  We traveled to Winston-Salem, NC to visit my in-laws for the weekend.  It was truly a great, relaxing weekend.  We always come home rested and at least a few pounds heavier as my mom-in-law is the best cook ever.  Thanks for the R&R, Grandaddy and Ba Chan (as Aaron Mo would say)!

I voted today and it was easy-peasy.  Glad that's out of the way!

Came home to find that my Loft Curvy Skinnies had arrived.  Dolls, they are cuuuuute, fit like a glove, and are so well-made!  Will post pics this week.  

I purchased this dress from Forever 21 yesterday for my friend, Jessica's, bachelorette party in just a few short weeks:

Do you likey?  I do.  I think the high neck takes away from the short skirt.  Just hoochie enough for "da club." (ha!)  Plus, I like the bibb necklace as well- might have to scoot over to Charming Charlie's. Now to see if it'll actually look this good......looks like calorie counting starts NOW!

Gotta Get Down for Friday!

Happy Friday! It's the weekend- HOLLA!

Loving this beautiful weather and loving even more the fact that my hubby's home. I am intending on enjoying every second.

Right this minute I'm excited about:

• The Grey's Anatomy comeback. Finally last night, an episode that didn't leave me depressed or the "I-can't-breathe I'm crying so hard" sobfest. Loving the Kepner/Jackson relaysh and loving him & his blue eyes even more.

• House-hunting, but more on that later. ;)

• A bachelorette party, 2 showers, a wedding, and a baby. All in that particular order and all involving 2 of my besties. What a happy time.

• The bangs are finally all the way grown out, y'all! And for all of you that know me, that's a miracle in itself.

• I have a pair of curvy (cuz I gots the curves) skinny jeans in Royal Blue en route from the Loft. What what. Btw, they are having an amazing sale right now.

Alright, that's it for now, lovelies. Chat soon!

Hump Day

Hey peeps!

I'm blogging from my phone as my laptop is not connecting to the 'net, and since I am computer illiterate, I'm waiting to let the hubs handle it. Therefore, if this post is a mess, please disregard.

This week has been nice, if not slightly boring with the exception of plenty of playground time. Aaron and I drove to the old Macon Mall this morning for a play date, and I have to say I miss the old mall vibe. You know, the two-levels crowded with Express, Abercrombie, The Limited, Spencer's, B&BW, the standard old music store, and the smell of the food court below. Maybe it's the 90's girl in me? I mean, I love a nice outside mall too, of course, but I'm old school and that's never gonna change.

Anywho, they had a whole kids section with coin operated rides ($.75/ride- expensive!) and with the rides that I could afford, Aaron had a blast. Will definitely be hitting that joint up again!

Other than that exciting trip, the highlight of my day is the major Loft online sale going on RIGHT NOW. Spent $100 and got two awesome pairs of jeans....what what! I know that that's expensive, but good quality jeans are hard to find and these make the cut.

Enjoy your afternoon!

Dead Recap

Omgee.  Walking Dead.  What a way to start the season!  Here are my thoughts:

• Rick is no longer putting up with everyone else's s%*t.  Love that.  However, he's not being very nice to his wife and that's kind've on my nerves.  Granted, she cheated on him, is possibly carrying another zombie man's baby, and really overreacted about Shane's death in last season's finale, but give a sister a break.  She's about to pop in a post-apocalyptic world and she doesn't know if she's having a baby or a baby zombie.  Real issues, people!
• Daryl is hot.  There, I said it.  I heart him and his Crossbow.  
• Carol hitting on Daryl?  Gross and totally inappro!  I'm all for being a cougar (Hello! JHutch!), but for God's sakes, she could be his mother!
• Carl needs a serious hair chop.  
• Hershel's leg.  Wha?????  My first thought upon waking this morning was, "how in the world are they going to stop him from bleeding out??" 
• Maggie might be less annoying this season......but I'm probably getting ahead of myself.
• After two seasons T-Dog is finally contributing something.  About time.  Haters gonna hate!
• Zombie security guards.  Totally had a flashback to one of my all-time favorite 80's movie ever: 

Night of the Comet (image courtesy of http://images.popmatters.com/blog_art/n/nightofthecomet.jpg)

• Andrea's totally "hiding out" in downtown Senoia.  (Hey Andrea, while you're there, why don't you swing by and check out the newest Southern Living Idea House.....the Christmas decorations are impeccable!)
• And last but not least, the non-zombie prisoners.  They look hilarious.  This will be interesting.

Where in the world is Merle??
