Hey, Soul Sister

Sometimes you have to have a dance party...

...and sometimes you have to wear a tutu on each leg because you aren't 4 anymore.

Are these not the cutest girls ever??? I just love them to pieces.

They are every bit as sweet as they look.

And they know how to rock- the heels and the dance floor.

One thing I love about these ladies is that they are full of one-liners...

"Why can Newbie not walk good? Does he needs bigger feets?"

To Newbie and the Hubs: "Come on guys! You wanna come to the dance party??!?"

"I'm just gonna go put 'dis boa on Newbie because he might like it. Then I will be right back."

"I don' think Newbie likes dat cuz it is so wouwd."

"Tonight I want to dream that all of my princess dolls come alive and that all my dreams come true."

Rock on, soul sister.

100 Days

My baby looked like this 100 days ago...

Where has the time gone?!?!?

Rainy with a high of one million

It is a pleasant 1,876 balmy degrees and raining outside, so Newbie and I high-tailed it to some central air conditioning today. You know, so we could cool off...and catch up on The Bachelorette. Priorities.

It feels like Texas today, and I give a big pat-on-the-back to all of you living below the north because I just don't know how you do it. Or how I did it. I just remember a lot of swimsuits and sprinklers when I was a kid. A little Koolaid never hurt, either. I don't think humans were made for this kind of heat. Then I remember there are people living in the desert. And I wonder what they do with their too-hot cranky babies all year?

Speaking of Koolaid, did anyone see Regis and Kelly dye their hair with Koolaid yesterday? Am I the only one that seriously questioned the judgement involved in that move? Somebody is for sure going to come out looking like a grape popsicle. I'm just saying.

Anyway, I can already tell there will be a lot of this today:

Partially because it is too hot to breathe, and partially because Newbie isn't a big fan of The Bachelorette anyway and will probably opt to sleep in order to get out of having to take part in my marathon today.

Question: Does this make me a dork?

Question: Does the fact that I love it and don't care if it's dorky make me a super dork?

The Hubs would say hands-down DORK. But he also thinks I'm a nut case for watching The Bachelorette and for eating Lucky Charms while watching Losing it with Jillian Micheals, so he's clearly not the most accurate source of judgement. Clearly.

On another note, tonight I've got a girls' night with these sweet little ladies, and I just can't wait.

I'm thinking beauty shop and some serious Barbie time since the boys in my house aren't big fans of either and a girl needs her fix. I'm still mourning the fact that Newbie will never be able to appreciate the sheer joy of The American Girl Place in Chicago. *tear*

Our double date night last week was a blast- we had a ball. Enjoying a beef enchilada sans performing a baby diaper change was a much needed indulgence. But I did miss my little man by the time it was all said and done, and I was so happy to see his sweet face when we got home. Pictures to come if I can ever download them or haul myself to the store to burn them to a disc.

Well, duty calls...several episodes need watching and there's some lemonade in the fridge that needs drinking. I wish you all a happy and air-conditioned weekend!

Forget raindrops on roses...

These are two of my favorite things:


I'd also like to add that when you see a picture of yourself like this:

you really start to question your mental stability...because who does that in public?!?
The End.

Happy summer!

Newbie Fix

Raise your hand if you have a hankerin' for some cute Newbie pics!








You're welcome. =)

El Mercado

English Translation: "the market"

We went to the farmer's market this morning and had so much fun. I feel so domesticated picking out fresh green beans and peaches.








Seeing all the homegrown produce makes me want to plant a garden, but I have this thing about the soil in our backyard. We live in the city. I just wonder what is lurking beneath the grass...I mean, when you have random people's trash floating into your yard, it kinda makes you wonder what's below the surface. Something about city dirt just gives me the creeps. I don't want to be eating city dirt tomatoes. All the more reason to move out to the country one of these days. I really am a country mouse.

Right now this country mouse has to get going...it's rib night at G-Mama and G-Daddy's house tonight. And all the people said, "WOOHOO!!!"
