Hi...is anyone out there???

I don't blame you if you've stopped checking to see if I have been blogging. I said that I would come back and update about Mexico right away and I didn't...let's not even start about Xmas yet!

But tonight I'm actually really hoping to get this done...really I am!

We had a full house for Christmas...quite honestly far more then I ever expected and I loved every minute of it!
I hope one day we win the lottery and we can buy the big house I've always dreamed of so I can host...how awesome would that be!

Tomorrow night my aunt and uncle come to stay with us and then we'll head to New Orleans...I'm excited but will blog more about that later.

I will also blog more later on Operation Make a Baby in 2010....just have a few more tweaks to work out tonight then I'll update.

I'm sure I actually will have enough updates for each of the days I missed to "unofficially" blog every day in December like my goal haha.

Come back soon!
I promise I'll be a good blogger.

GiveAways...Go Win!

Ok this computer is kickass and you should try and win it....it's at Totally Together Reviews

Go...Do It NOWWWWWWW

Let's talk about...

Pedicures! Where have they been all of my life seriously!!!!

I wanted to sleep so badly but though that maybe rude haha

She then talked me into waxing my eyebrows which I've never done before and it wasn't that bad...she said that my eyebrows were already pretty nice (thank you) but she'd make them "pretty" haha

and then she asked the dreadful question..."you want me do your upper lip" o...m...g... I almost died then I almost had to pick myself up off the floor from laughing so hard in my head...I mean what am I a 65 year old Jew from Jersey...(no offense to the Jews I have many Jew friends and we joke about this all of the time) I guess it's the dark haired Italian in me le sigh...

none the less I do look better haha

and my tootsies look oh so cute! I took pictures that I'll post when I get back.

Packing is pretty much done thank goodness! I just have to do a few things tomorrow but wanted to be changed and have gotten ready for the day before I do so...


ooh also Mr. B's cousin...uncle winnie is giving away his yorkie poo and he said we have first dibs...I'm trying to talk Mr. B into it!!! send me vibes he says yes! He's adorable!
Speaking of dogs...I feel so bad for Parle having to be in the kennel for so long but we didn't want to ask Uncle Kevin and Auntie Jen since they have to cats, a full grown bulldog, and a baby bulldog now.

Oh well he'll get some great Xmas presents tee hee

Rough Day Part Two

It just never ends...oh boy! I'm not dreading getting back from vacation because I'll be doing so much on that Sunday and won't have time to breathe.

Now by about Wednesday of the week I get back I think it will be much better but still...

And this other center is killing me on the detail work. Meetings galore. I have to be to work before 8 actually which for me is a killer especially since I missed Teen Mom and I have to wait until 11 to watch it and it's an hour long bleh.

But Mr. B said I could get a pedicure tomorrow! I'm so excited. The last time I had a professional pedicure was my wedding folks! That's a year and a half and it wasn't even that good...the last real nice one was geez about 3 years ago.

I can't decide what color I want...I know it sounds silly but I really dig the black color just don't know how it will look on my toes.

Mr. B said I should do one black and one gold for the saints haha


Oh side note...I'm watching House Hunters and can't believe how much they people say they can "afford" because there's just no way!

And I love how House Hunters always says their payment will be xxx amount but that doesn't include insurance or PMI if you need it...so that usually adds in about 200+ more a month haha

So you get all of these first time home-buyers thinking they can afford stuff that they can't and that's why we're in the crisis we're in...all these damn ARM loans.

le sigh

well my show is about to start and then Rough Day Part Tree will start

LSU!!!!

It looks a lot more cute at night of course but still I think it's cute :)

Oh and today was such a terrible day that's all there will be...I seriously was on the verge of crying multiple times...

I honestly don't know if it will get any better the rest of this week...I'm just looking forward to having some drinks on Thursday at dinner...then back to work ugh but then Saturday...oh Saturday how I will love thee....drink in hand by oh about 12:30 weeee

Sneak Peek

of the snow...

I'll post more tomorrow....and my LSU tree :)

Ugh Christmas

Is coming so fast! Where has the time gone???
I just realized that I have to mail out Christmas presents before we leave on our trip because otherwise they will get to their respective homes late!

And I have to mail out Christmas cards ugh...so I just placed my order for my pictures to pick up tomorrow on my lunch.

I tried ordering from CVS but my order didn't total over 5 so they were going to charge me 1.49 (which would've been more then 5) silly!

So I did it through Walgreen's and they didn't charge me...so I'm Team Walgreen's!!! I also have to look for eco-friendly sun screen.

And the Saints won!!!! weeeeee....barely but it's a win and now we're 12-0 yesss

This counts for Saturdays post hah

Lists...

My husband just told me that we need to start making lists now for Mexico...he's a fucking pat rat....I mean seriously you need a swimsuit, a pair of shorts, a few shirts, dress slacks, and a few nice shirts...a medium suitcase at most...

we way over packed for Europe...I will not do this again

side note....IT SNOWED!!!! LIKE REAL BIG FLURRIES SNOW WEEEEE!!! I took a bunch of pics....post tomorrow

#17 Influence a Person to Make a DayZero List

Ms Jinny created one weeeee!

I won't link to her blog because that's private :)

But that's the first thing that I can cross off my list!

weee

I'm so looking forward to this weekend because tomorrow is D day folks...it's the day I take over another center while that Ops is on maternity leave. I'm nervous and really want it all to work out.

Just realized...

That I won't be able to blog while in Mexico because I'm not bringing my work laptop in case it gets stolen.

But when I get back I'll blog about each day since I'll be taking daily pictures of me drinking unlimited drinks and getting beach massages for cheap and eating whatever I want and relaxing in the pool....jealous yet? haha

well I'm not going to post the food from Tday because I did that on FB but here are two pictures that Mr. B and I took with our doggie

I was going to use one of these for our Christmas cards but then thought "Hey! How about use a picture from our trip to Europe because that would be more fun" so I'm going to go to Walgreen's on Saturday and print some off.

I was able to pick up some new Xmas cards while shopping in the antique district with my grandparents. I have a few left over from last year I believe...super cute with a cajun recipe on the back! Love them!

Well that be it as my GG would say.

Happy December!!!

Ok I failed at the whole blog for everyday in November.

I could cheat and do pictures and updates but I'm honestly lazy and will just do it for December because....I've started something new!!!!

It's called the DayZeroProject

Here is the link to my list
http://dayzeroproject.com/?u=colie18

I will use this blog as part as my update as well as my normal day stuff.

I'm going to be uploading my pictures from Thanksgiving. Unfortunately I didn't take as many as I wanted.

But I had a great time with Mr. B and my grandparents!

More to come!
