Z..z...z...uuuuuuummmmmm

ba!!!

Yep that's Zumba. I'm so excited that I saw a sign for it the other day while driving to work. I called earlier and got nothing and got worried but just called back and got someone!

It's at a dance studio I think mainly for younger kids but they are introducing this to adults.

They have two classes
Mondays-6:30-7:30
and
Thursdays-7:30-8:30

I will of course be doing the Mondays....that's already an hour later then I am normally used to. So I'll basically be going home to try and get some kind of dinner together for Mr. B and then leaving right after that. I won't eat beforehand because I know that this gets crazy intense.

So now I'll be doing Zumba on Monday's and then working out 3 other times during the week and the day that I don't work out I'll be doing weights at home weeeeee!

I don't have much longer before Mexico and I know that 10 more pounds is probably not going to happen so my goal is 5 more lbs and just to be toned...that's really what I want. I want to b e able to take pictures of me in a bikini and not cringe.

And not to mention that we'll be talking about baby making seriously and we better be doing it starting January 1st and I would really like to be in the 150's by the time I get pregnant. So that means that I have about 10ish-12ish lbs to go. But I'll have the rest of December to make that happen and I will work out while on vacation since we'll be doing a lot of relaxing and not much of anything...just the way I like it.

I talk to my MIL (mother in law) last night and she's not going to come and clean the house...apparently Papa is taking her off as executor and putting her dip shit of a sister on there...I don't know why these people think it means they pick how much money people get....all you're doing is making sure people get what's supposed to be given to them via the will. I think the dip shit and the new wife are in cahoots together and have a bigger plan.

But MIL doesn't even care. She just wants to get the pieces from her mother's grandma out of there. Even the uncle called and said the dip shit has been going in there and taking stuff which doesn't surprise me at all. So my MIL and her other sister will get that stuff and flea bomb it and separate between the two. I think the other sister has about had it with them as well.

MIL did say she called and left a message for dip shit that wasn't nice and she told Papa he was making a mistake...but like I told my MIL they took out 50k on the house for who knows why and it would be better if he did take her off of the will for the house that way she won't have to worry about having to fix it up to sell it and try and get a profit after they owe the 50 extra k on it. I say give it to the nasty new wife and dip shit and let them deal with it.

They're all not very close anyways except for MIL and the other sister which obviously won't change anyways.

I just looked at saw my nightstands are out for delivery whoooo...which is perfect since Mr. B went off to GA today and won't be home until Friday. I'll put together the nightstands tonight and take out the old shiter and move the bed in the new place in anticipation for the rod and curtain....which now that I think about it I might need another panel but we'll see.

I went to Lowe's today and bought a sleigh bell thing it's a bunch of bells on a leather strap...it goes on a door. It soooo reminds me of the one my GG has which will be nice to have that homey feeling. I also bought a fake tree for 15 bucks...yep you read that right. It's 6ft tall and it's one of those taller but skinnier ones but I think that will be perfect.

I plan on getting a tiny like 3ft'er to decorate with all of our odds and ends ornaments and the skinny tree will be for only the one color theme I have.

I'm also thinking of buying another little tree and decorating it in LSU hehe.

I hate that Tday and Xmas are so close together because I feel like I just get up my Tday stuff and then I start getting my Xmas stuff up.

I started placing pictures in my order bin on Shutterfly for my big ass picture collage frame that Mr. B's aunt and uncle got us for our wedding. I think it holds something like 50 pictures haha so most of them will be pictures that I took of really cool acrhitecture and just a few thrown in of family....I'm going to do a mixture of I think color (with a soft focus on it) and sepia.

So this week begins Project cleaning for my grandparents arrival!!!!

Unfortunately not one room can be done and ready tonight haha but the guest room will be ready by Thursday night and that means the Office should be fairly close too.

I can then just close the doors on those two rooms so Parle doesn't get in there...then the morning they're coming I can go in for a quick wipe down and candle burning.

I think they'll end up taking showers in our bathroom since they won't have to lift their legs very high which means extra cleaning in there.

So that means cleaning the shower this week, next week, and the week they come. Which if you know me I hate hate HATE bathrooms!!!

And then there's the organizing of the pantry which I have thrown away a lot of stuff and will do so more this Thursday for trash night and then there's the cleaning out of the fridge. I can't wait to get rid of a lot of this beer for our last tailgate together!!!!

Ahh so much to do so freaking little time.

Weekend Recap

Friday oh how I love thee!!!!

I worked out...I'm so proud of myself because the week before with Auntie DC and Auntie Kellie coming in I didn't get to work out at all even down in NOLA.

So I figured last week I would be lucky to get 2 workouts in due to getting back into the swing of things. I intended to go on Tuesday but this darn bronchial crap was still too much so I went Wed, and Thurs, and talked myself into Friday.
I am loving the new daylight savings thing because now it's dark and people aren't motivated to work out haha so nobody is in there which I love.

Then we just relaxed and watched tv and I slept in (well more then a normal home game)

We then headed up to Lafayette to see Uncle Kevin and Auntie Jen. They were having sort of a housewarming/LSU party.

We ate a lot of great food and drank a lot and watched LSU play. I think it was rigged and Bama shouldn't have won. Clearly that interception was real and it's funny how the reviewer went to Bama...and how the ref's are based out of Birmingham ummm how could that be?

But our ranking actually got better!!!! We're 8th in the AP poll and we were 9th before the game.
But heck we've only lost to the #1 and #3 teams so I think that is pretty darn good.

I love Iowa but I'm glad they lost so the fans will be knocked down a bit...they really shouldn't have been ranked as well as they were because the quality of teams weren't that great.

Yesterday we just lounged around and I was able to nap. I put Loaded Baked Potato soup in the crock pot and let it do it's thing.

The Saints played which it was definitely a lot harder then I think they anticipated but we're 8-0 baby! WHO DAT....WHO DAT....WHO DAT SAY DEY GONNA BEAT DEM SAINTS WHO DAT!!!!

I'm really proud of those guys...it's awesome!

Well Mr. B got a call from his mom saying Papa's house is filthy...the new wife doesn't do shit and he has cancer and he's doing radiation so he can't clean it up. She brought all her filthy animals in and doesn't clean up after them so now the sisters are going to go and clean it out and do flea bombs...she said it could get ugly.

I don't know if she'll really come or not but we've offered for her to stay at our house which would be nice while Mike's gone. But geez she should be getting here today or tomorrow if she does so we'll see.

I can't believe the weekend went by so fast...geez we need to win the lottery so we can just stay home haha

Sorry for the Delay

I didn't bring my laptop with me to Uncle Kevin and Aunt Jen's.

I'll recap the weekend after I post this (that way one of these can be considered a post from a few days ago heh)

I did a little shopping on target.com (I luuuurve Target). I really wanted to spruce up our guest bedroom especially before my grandparent's get here for Tday. I actually really want to buy some crown molding for our guest bathroom as well...but just the plastic kind because who will really be able to tell anyways and that would only cost like 50 for that...I think it's worth it however getting Mr. B to believe it might be harder.

But if he goes out of town for the Ole Miss game (it's away) then maybe I would have auntie Mel come up and "surprise" Mr. B on Sunday haha

Ok regardless I wanted to buy more but you know felt bad and all since Mr. B's commission checks are always a surprise like in the Cracker Jack box. Although we're thinking that these next few months will actually be better yipee


So I bought two night stands (which are actually bookcases but you can't tell), a curtain rod, and a curtain haha


I'm going to take out the old crap and put it in our bulging garage where apparently everything goes. I think I need to make a call to the Good Will again.

1-Curtain Rod- 9.99

1-Curtain- 14.99

2-Bookcase- 55.00 (now back off sale for I think 69.99)

I also have little things that I bought months ago in hopes and preparation that I would finally update the room so I'm happy I won't have to buy much but maybe a small wicker basket for each bookcase which I can get at Walmart for cheap.

I'm thinking of bringing in the computer desk since it will now match the night stands. I gave up on the bed in a bag that I wanted because it was a little over 100 and then I'd have to for sure get black furniture. I really did want black but the espresso still is nice and I can the taller bookcase for the room later on and then it matched the desk.

And I began to think where would I put the desk when/once we get pregnant because the only option was the laundry room but I was afraid Parle would pea on some wires or something but now with not getting bigger furniture we have plenty of room and then the guests of course could have easier access to the computer.

So yah Mr. B has no idea that I'm doing this because I knew he'd gripe about it and he just so happens to be going out of town this week when all of the stuff is supposed to arrive.

I finally was able to get some decent shots of NOLA without the rain! But I didn't want to take too much time up since I had guests with me.

These are raw...I haven't done any editing to them.

Good Friends...

DC AKA Auntie Katie and Aunt Kellie came to visit. We started off in NOLA which is at the bottom of this because I can never figure out why when I post pictures it always goes to the top ugh. They had the better pictures by far but I can't get on Facebook at work to steal them and post so mine will have to do.


DC trying Woody's Cigar...looks good here but check out the next one.

Yah not so good haha

DC and Uncle Kevin

Auntie Kellie wearing my broken glasses haha

Best Costume Ever! DC did a beer bong from his shower.

Me and DC so cute...DC's for life!

We're pro's!

The deliciousness of Cafe Du Monde

Monique with her drink at Pat O's

Us...yah towards the end of the night

It was such a wonderful trip and wish they could've stayed longer. I wish they would move to the big LA after college!

Day Light Savings Time Ending

sucks....people drive so much slower in the dark like geez folks it's still driving...and it feels like it's midnight at 9pm.

However I do get into bed earlier but I watch Golden Girls so it doesn't matter haha

I was hoping to have already posted my pictures by now but I haven't I'm sorry I was actually busy for once at work...but tomorrow should be slower so I'll post them then.

Just when I think that we may get out of this hurricane season in the clear theres a Tropical Depression that could potentially form and it better not hit Mexico or Louisiana darn it!!!

Oh and go Yankee's!

Manic Monday

I feel like today was just a flash before my eyes...it went by so quickly that I really didn't have time to think about much of anything other then my eyes got heavy and I felt dizzy which is how I felt on Tuesday night.

Wednesday I picked up the girls and was feeling decent and then we went to Pat O's and had a freaking blast. Seriously one of the best times I've ever had out on Bourbon.

Thursday of course I felt like crapper but we had fun. I did call it a night early and let the girlies go out but they were to tired from the night before so it was an early night.

Friday I felt like someone was sitting on my chest...true story!!!!

It got worse on Saturday while tailgating and I practically lost my voice.
Finally Saturday after the game I was able to get some phlegm up but I ended up puking because I was trying so hard..oh well.

Yesterday it finally decided to break but not enough to where I was able to get a ton out but at least I was getting some out.

Today its still breaking and I'm going to go buy some mucinex. I'm just glad that I do feel better then before because honestly I thought on Saturday I would for sure have to go to the clinic on Sunday.

Well I know some folks are trying to blog everyday in November and even though I missed yesterday I'm going to count this post as yesterdays and post again tonight with some highlights of the girls' trip with pictures....

I can't believe that not only it's November but my little cousin (I was the only grandchild for 11 years) is now 13. She's a teenager ahhhh!

But that my grandparent's will be here in 23 days folks! I'm glad that the Ole Miss game is away because it's the weekend before my grandparents get in and I want to be able to really clean the place up without rushing.

Tonight the Saints play the Falcon's at home so I'm going to get Hooters wings for Mr. B and I to have...should be fun.

Hopefully it's another early night to bed.
