Agent J and Saturday Night Shenanigans

One of our really good friends decided to have people over Saturday night for a cookout and drinks. I love these nights. Just hanging out with close friends and drinking. This past Saturday went down in the record books. Our friends just recently had a baby too and this was their first baby free night. Wooohooo! "Agent J" (Whose name shall not be mentioned) was a blast and may have shown his nipple more than once and ALMOST signed up for Facebook!

"Agent J"
Apparently "Agent J" couldn't find his mouth while eating dinner. Bless his heart!
At one point in the night I had to use the bathroom. Now I am not exactly sure how long I was in there. In my head I thought it was only 10 to 15 minutes MAX, but looking back I am thinking it was probably closer to an hour! I definitely decided to have a photo shoot. By this point I'm pretty sure I had drank 3/4 of the box of wine. That's right...I said BOX. Don't hate, it's good and it's only like $11! Enjoy...
Before the cookout
Photoshoot Time...Why can't I get this phone out of the picture???
(Ugh, ignore the nails)
Oh Yay! I finally figured it out!
Oh what is the matter with her eyes you may wonder? No worries...that is one eye Billy Willy. He shows up when Jaima has a wee bit too much to drink. Love him!
Look at these their sweet pups! See anything wrong with this picture?
And this little sweet thang was hanging with her Mimi on Saturday night :)

So what did ya'll do this weekend?
Did one eye Willy Billy come visit any of you?
Can't wait to see who wins the Scentsy giveaway!!

It's too HOT to do anything

Literally.


It is way too HOT to do anything. I would be perfectly happy laying in my bed all day long. This morning I had planned on running. Ummm nooo. Between, my kid crying most of the early morning and it being 80 degrees at 7 this morning, no thank you. My running plans will have to be taken inside for the rest of the summer it seems. Shrub suggested we start running a 6 am, I politely declined. That is still sleepy time for me.

Speaking of sleepy time. Gianna literally just starting fussing and so I scooped her up and proceeded to go tinfoil her window. Mommy needs some shut eye. I'll let you know if it works as good for me as it does for Raven. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. (another post, another day)

((Don't you just love my randomness. ))

Last night I tried a new recipe and I think it was a success.



Enchilada Casserole
Ingredients
1 pound of chicken
1 packet of taco seasoning
1 can of hot rotel
1 can original rotel
2 cans of black beans
1 can of red enchilada sauce
Sour Cream
Shredded cheese
Corn tortillas

I cooked the chicken, 2 cans of rotel, and taco season for 6 hours on high in the crockpot during the day. During the last 30 minutes I added in the 2 cans of black beans.
I then took the crockpot mixture (by this time the chicken had fallen apart and was nicely shredded) and mixed it in a large bowl with the sour cream and some hot sauce. I literally did the rest of this recipe to taste. I layered a greased pan with the tortillas, then the red enchilada sauce, then my mixture of chicken and beans, cheese, and repeat.

Bake at 350 uncovered for 20 to 30 minutes. Yummy!

Sometimes I Can't Think

Sometimes I can't think of things to blog about so I don't. I had this whole post about seriously Thursdays written up but I forgot to write yesterday. Whoopsie.

What I can tell you is that I am only 8 pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight! Yay! Now, I can tell you that I was not one of those people that while pregnant I was sporting a cute baby bump and was glowing. Ummmm no! I was the whale you see on TV. I grew everywhere. If you don't believe me, refer back to my first post. (That pic was also taken when I was only 7 months pregnant and in Costa Rica)

I will also tell you that I have to work really hard to lose weight. It didn't just fall off me like I wished it to. I currently do the C25k which includes running in 90 heat and me dry heaving on the side of the road. The later(and yes...I know it's supposed to be latter) may be me exaggerating, but I really feel like it...sometimes.

Sometimes...I find it fun to exaggerate too, not in serious situations, but I find it makes a story more interesting. Now I'm getting off topic.

This post is a brag about me because I'm proud I'm down so much weight since I did gain 60 pounds. Thank goodness I had her at 37.5 weeks, I mean who knows how much I would of really gained. Keep reading guys! A surprise is in store next week and then I may have something else up my sleeve.

Oh, anyone have any advice how to deal with a teething baby???

Horrible Spellers and Whiny Babies

I am both of these. I kid. I kid. I am just a horrible speller, but my child is so whiny lately that it is driving me insane. Like I want (spell check is telling me want is spelled wrong WTH?) to pull my hair out. I stay home with her and lately I find myself staring at the clock counting down to nap time and bed time. Seriously, when it hits 5:30pm I get all excited because we start getting ready for bed time. Woohooo! I don't know what her deal is but I really hope she gets over it soon. And no she isn't sick or anything.

I mean does this make me a horrible mother? Does anyone else count down to nap time or bedtime?

As far as spelling, I am awful! If you see something spelled wrong on here just skip over it, ignore it, whatever. I do try to fix it with the check spelling feature but sometimes it changes it to the wrong thing. I have an iPhone and it tends to auto correct everything for me. Sometimes it's funny and sometimes it's annoying and I have to fight with it. I'll leave this post with a recent conversation I had with my sister (shrub) on my iPhone. This conversation just proves how horrible of a speller I am.
And if I had added the next screen shot you would have seen that my shrub was hahahahaing too because she does the same thing too, so I'm not the only one.






Have a great weekend everyone!!

Pain in the Knee

For real that is what I have. I mentioned a long time ago that I started the Couch to 5k (C25k) program and that I would talk about it on a later post. Well, that post is now. I had a whole seriously post ready for yall, but I'll be saving that one for next week. Yiipppeeeee.


Okay, back to the subject of my knee and the pain. Well I am about to start week 4. I stopped exactly at week 3 day 3 because it hurt to run, it hurt to walk, it hurt to do anything. My knees still hurt, on the inside, but I found out that it's bursitis so I can still run, I just need to ice and start taking aleve. This all means that tomorrow will be torture and I will be in even more pain. Don't yall just feel awful for me. But for real, a few of my friends and I signed up to run a 5k in October so I can't stop now. If you live in the Nashville area and you are a runner or even if you're not but would like to be check out the Zombie Buffet 5k. It's all for a good cause supporting the Nashville Rescue Mission and it looks like a lot of fun. I mean Zombies will be chasing you!!! And if you get caught you will transform into a zombie. You can check out the link here.

Seriously Thursdays




Today I am linking up with Mrs to Mama for her series Seriously Thursday. Today is my first time so go easy on me :)


Seriously...

1) Words with friends is by far the most addictive game ever.

2) YOU are a sad sad person. Hatefulness and jealousy will eventually eat you up inside. Thank goodness my time spent with you is minimal. Just remember, what goes around will come around. (sorry for the rant, I had to get it out)

3) Ebay lady...did you really think that I wouldn't be able to tell the bag was used? And...where is my refund?

4) Why do I only have 14 followers? HELLO people I.AM.FUNNY.
Correction, I did have 15 but apparently that person decided to no longer follow me. Being the mature person I am, I decided not to follow them too.
(What did you think I was going to say?)

5) My husband is somewhat of a hoarder. He only hoards paper but it is driving me insane. There are letters, cards, old bills, notes, etc. laying around everywhere. I'm either going to start shredding or scanning. I haven't decided which one yet.

6) My daughter will be 5 months on Saturday! Where does the time go?

7) Seriously, I have so many more things I could write, but I will save some for next week just in case I can't think of anything new when the time rolls around.


Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
Remember to follow me and once I reach 100 followers I will behaving a Scentsy giveaway.

ScentSational Giveaway

So as I mentioned before on my previous post, I started selling Scentsy. I had read reviews on it and had seen them but never actually owned one myself. I signed up and I received my Scentsy kit yesterday. I was like a little kid at Christmas opening up everything. Let me tell you this stuff is amazing! I'm not just saying this...promise. My house has a very large living room with high vaulted ceilings. In 20 minutes the whole downstairs smelled of coconut lemongrass. I quickly decided I want more of this stuff, which means it's party time. If you live in the Nashville area I will be having a Launch Party on July 10 around 6. A cocktail hour will begin this party so who would want to miss it :). I also will be hosting a giveaway on this blog! As soon as I reach 100 followers I will be giving away a full-size warmer and scent bar of the winners choice.
This means you need to follow and tell all your friends too.
If you would like to check out some of the inventory go to my website here.
