Shopping for the perfect pair of jeans...intense!
Pretty sure I need THIS tank. 

Have you done your cardio today? 
I haven't yet but this evening I'll be visiting my local TJ Maxx. :)

Weekend at my House

oh there I go again with my new photo app obsession.

Happy Monday Everyone!

You see those two hot INSANE babes up there. Those are my new INSANITY friends.
I attended the INSANITY training this weekend. Gilbert you better watch out!

Okay enough of that but maybe I should share that it's a miracle I walked out of the training alive.
Barely alive that is.

hmmm...
what else?

Well, I had a conversation with my BFF about smoothies and poop. And well that conversation just ended with one big belly laugh. Poop can be sorta funny you know. Farts on the other hand-hilarious!

uh...

The lady at the sandwich shop lost her dentures for a moment while making my sandwich. 
She just carried on like nothing had happened and just typing this is making me laugh my guts out because it was so odd and weird and funny all at the same time. Maybe you had to be there?

okay well...

Berkie's potty training is coming along nicely.
Oh darn, should have saved that one for facebook.

oh oh oh...

you must go download the new Vampire Weekend song
Unbelievers
Click HERE for a sneak peak.

here's a good one...

the odometer on my car hit 77777.
Whoo wee! That's what I call LUUUCKEEEE.

and...
seriously?
this post is pretty retarded. 

BUT...

It's Monday. It's almost over. And I hope you made it a great one!
SMILE!

It's A Thong Thing

Did you live back with the dinosaurs when a thong was a piece of footwear not a piece of string up your butt?
ME to.
I have found the thongs aka flip flops of the year.
The price will totally make you say "yeah right" but...
your feet will love them.
I live in AZ. A good pair of flip flops are priceless!
I want them in every color!
I chose the nude and have worn them nonstop since I got them. 
Now that's true LOVE.
Buy yours HERE.

Jump for joy it's FRIDAY.
See you!

P.S. Obviously still obsessing over my new photo app.

Because I deserve it.

Happy Mother's Day to Me. 

Today I'm not going to write a sappy post about how lucky and blessed I am to be a Mom and how wonderful my children are. No, the Mommy blogging world has already covered that topic this weekend (gag). But, I will take a moment to let you know how lucky my children are to have me as their Mom. Yes, you heard me right. They are lucky to have me.

I poor milk on their cereal and butter their toast. I drive them to school and soccer practice and dance lessons daily. I create art projects for them that make big messes. I buy them pretty band-aids for their boo boos. I take them to the library and read them stories. I teach them to serve and love one another. I make them cookies and give them bubble baths. I take them to the zoo even though I hate the zoo. I leave them special notes in their lunches. I dance with them, I laugh with them, I talk with them. I brush their hair and buy them cute shoes. I teach them proper manners. I tell them I love them. I give hugs even when not wanted and I cheer them on. Boy do I cheer them on. Maybe what I'm trying to say is I work my ass off for these three kids of mine.

So,
today is not about gushing over my kids and the joy of motherhood (insert eye roll). Not for me anyway.

Today is about celebrating me. A far from perfect but pretty freakin' awesome Mom!
