Why?

Why am I attracted to these things?

Anthropologie Marley Heels

Banana Republic Faux-Fur Cuff Cardigan

Is this urban sophistic or wanna be?  I know my daughter just rolled her eyes, but I kinda like/love them.

What, if anything should I get on Cyber Monday.  I need nothing but the want…

J Crew Arrows Sweater

I guess this is more "ME".

Update on my 101 List

Some of these things scare the hell out of me.  Why did I put them on the list.  Like eating the tofu dish…GACK!  But, i am making progress.  Little Women will be done soon, I will host Christmas dinner for the entire damn family (10 people…big enough), dessert at Melting Pot sounds like the thing to do this weekend, I'll even have a shot, and if I am feeling daring I will try to touch my toes.  All this travel and eating has made tying my shoes quite difficult…maybe it is time to try the tofu.

Here Piggy Piggy

My son arrived Saturday and darling daughter should be here this evening…if the weather doesn't muck everything up.  Needless to say, I will stress most of the day but once she arrives I will be as happy as a pig in shit!

What I Want on a Cold Winter Day

First there was the sleeping bag outfit, now this (compliments of Emily):

My toes would be cold though.

Time to Play a New Game

Some one please hurry out to Vegas and retrieve the money we lost.  I will pay a finder's fee.  

Let me set the scene:

Smoked filled casino.  I am at one slot machine…losing.  Hunter is at another slot machine two rows over…losing.  Attractive, scantily clad, built for speed "lady" slinks through.  Hunter makes eye contact.

                                                      "Lady" : Hey, you having fun?

                                                        Hunter:  Hello.

                                                      "Lady" : You want some company?

                                                        Hunter:  Let me ask my wife, she might be up to it.

"Lady" leaves.

Hunter goes back to losing.

Not sure why my husband is now attractive to prostitutes.  He says they think he's well hung and loaded.  I say he just looks the part of a typical "John".

So, for the next two days we played "Spot the Hooker".  I won with five.  He only got two (we saw his "friend" later with a friend).

Fun Times

Time for Vegas!

Leaving you with something sweet…

Happy Birthday Tyler!

Twenty years ago today I became a mom.  Thank you.

Happy Birthday!

Now wake up and get your day started.
