To those who Google their names and find my website...

First off I want to say that if you search your own name, te he he..

Christmas...

So, our kids have a radio in their rooms for when they sleep... They've had it since they were first sleeping in their cribs so we can hide the downstairs hustle and bustle fromt heir tiny ears..

Well, last night I realized as I was setteling Ivan down for his slumber, that some radio station has already started playing non-stop Christmas music... um... am I missing something?

So, now I want it to be Christmas, real bad.. I want to watch my kids rip open their gifts.. I want to be drinking coffee with the worlds best hubby, and father, Rob, as they make a mess with wrapping paper.. I want to see snow on the ground, a burning yule log on my tv, and I want to cook a big feast, for our tiny family...

I'm eager!!!

Excitement in the air!!

So, this year I'm on a mission to make the upcoming holidays... wait for it.... AWESOME!!

My kids are getting to an age where they're excited about everything, even the cheesy Happy Meal toys! So, my DH and I have picked out some great fun things fot them for Christmas, along with the gifts that Santa brings.

I'm also anxious for TURKEY!! I love Thanksgiving.. I love the food, hey... I think I blogged about this already!! You get the point.. LOL

I am uber excited about a recipe I will be trying for the firts time... A Godiva chocolate cake with a cheesecake layer on top, all drizzled with guess.... Yup! More Chocolate!


Super YUMMY Godive Recipe!

Amazing inspiration for full figured women... We CAN be sexy too..

So, in my search for the right look for my "Holiday Outift", I stumbled apon the Pin Curl Magazine's website.

This website is based on pin up and burlesque performances..

One gal in particular stood out, in my opinion.. Black Mariah..

She's a full figure burlesque performer, and in my opinion an amazing blessing for other women with jiggly theighs!

I CAN see myself using some of the styles, as long as I either stay within the bedroom walls, wear it as intimates, or do so from the shoulders up..

I do, however, still dislike my current body.. Pre-babies I was still heavy, weighed the same amount, but yet my skin was firmer, boobs less saggy, and my stomach didn't squish out when I sat... I do LOVE my kiddies, but miss that previous body..

I think I have been inspired by the Black Miriah.. Maybe I'll get out the Wii, hop on the balance board and do something about my body shape..... just not right now... lol

Thanks for the inspiration!!

I've found my new look... Pin Up!

So, I had done shome shopping at the extra special Torrid.com clearance sale.. One thing I bought mysef was a set of two hair clips that were flowers..

Since my hubby was giving me a special night to ourselves, minus our kids and house, I wanted to look nice..

So, I put on some makeup, which included my new found fav, Maybeline Stiletto Eyeliner, and my other favorites.. The HIP eyeshadow, in a glittery dark purple and a shiney light gold for the upper part... I let my hair dry for some el natural curls, and I pinned up the un-banged side of my hair, right above my ear, with the flower clip.. I have to say, I didn't look half bad.. Now, I felt like I didn't look half bad, but I do realize I'm the size of a small condo, so I guess from my 1st chin up, I didn't look half bad.. Plus, check out my crafty work on the brows!!

So, for my work's christmas, and probably my hubby's as well, party this year, I am going retro... First off, I got the sweater to the left, with a gold/cream colored cami..

Add a oversized red and black, or just red large hair cli, and I'm good to go!


I'm sure I will shock my co-workers, or in the least make them laugh..
 
I'll let you know how that went after Dec 12th..

What the...?

Ok, this made me almost pee my pants...

I thought I have seen everything...

Please note the separate pockets for each of the necesseties of daddy diaper changes... The only thing missing is the Purell Pocket, and the salad tongs!!

Make sure your bladder is empty for this one ladies!!

A special moment to share...

Today is a special day!

It was 15 years ago today that Rob and I started dating.. I don't recall all of the details, but remember the butterfiles in my belly, the spearmint scented breath he always had, and the spray painted two-tone Ford Escort Wagon he "drove" me in...

He was super sweet, wicked funny, and I was so thankful he came into my life..

Rob, I love you so much!

I am so glad we didn't listen to certain parental units, that we did things our way, and that somehow everything just always worked out for us.. We were meant to be... are meant to be, and will be forever and always!

Rob, I am so IN LOVE with you!

Thank you for putting up with me for the last 15 years, and thank you for every day, when you wake up next to, or near, me!

Here's to an infinite life time together!

I LOVE YOU!!

Your forever wife! (like the forever stamp)... Lesley..

Christmas...

So, our kids have a radio in their rooms for when they sleep... They've had it since they were first sleeping in their cribs so we can hide the downstairs hustle and bustle fromt heir tiny ears..

Well, last night I realized as I was setteling Ivan down for his slumber, that some radio station has already started playing non-stop Christmas music... um... am I missing something?

So, now I want it to be Christmas, real bad.. I want to watch my kids rip open their gifts.. I want to be drinking coffee with the worlds best hubby, and father, Rob, as they make a mess with wrapping paper.. I want to see snow on the ground, a burning yule log on my tv, and I want to cook a big feast, for our tiny family...

I'm eager!!!

There's still 50 days until Christmas!! I am not even close to being ready for it.. I have started my shopping, which rocks, but...

Plus, we still have to go through Thanksgiving, which is another personal favorite holiday.. I love TURKEY!! This year will be small... only us 4 with a small turkey breast grilled on the new-ish grill.. some taters, gravey, buns, and some can-shaped cranbery sauce...

Now, I'm drooling!!

So, all of these thoughts ran through my head last night as I listened to the Christmas music while getting him down for the night...

Yeah, I'm not righ, and I know it!

Zhu Zhu pets... Are they ever going to be in stock or cheap?

So, I've been trying to find one of the buggers for about a month, or it feels like a month, and it's dang near impossible...

There's too many creepy old men stalking the toys aisles at the local retailers, who will snatch them up quicker than you can say BOO!

I've been on my local Craigs Lists and there are tons of people who are selling them for 4+ times the retail amount, and some how getting away with it..

Does anyone in CNY remember the Labor Day storm? There were 1000's of people without power for weeks and there was a hugh demand for generators so the families could stay warm and keep food on their refrigerators.. Well, there wer also people and retialors who were buying them up and then turning around and selling them for twice the original price... An end was put to that, but it's ok to wreck the christmas for 1000's of children just because it's a toy???

Well, I say NO!

I think that Walmart, Target, and Toys R Us should take names and drivers license #'s... They should allow parents to buy them for their kids, over the creepy non-employed, system living people..

Next time you see someone buying ALL of the ZHU ZHU's in the aisle, stop and ask them who they're for.. Because the true wanters of those dang hamsters wont be seeing them under their trees...

Ok, I feel better...

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the design your own piggy banks!

I made this bank for one of my neices because I STILL have not gotten a "Wish List" from them for their birthdays, # 16,btw.. So, I am going to take these hand-adorned banks and put about $30 worth of change in there... Maybe they'll learn to give me a dang list!

I will be making the second bank this week, as their birthday is on the 7th of November!! Am I mean??
