Movie Night!

I actually got most of my shit done today. Finished my school work, cleaned the bathrooms, even organized the coat closet. Sooo, tonight Hubby and I are watching "Little Miss Sunshine." Gotta keep up with the Oscar noms, you know! Little Man is sound asleep in bed (snoring quite loudly b/c of his cold!)We got popcorn and ice cream and are cuddling up. I can't tell you the last time we did this.

Bliss!

Can I have a nap please?

For the most of the week I wondered if I would make it. I am so overdramatic. School was a bee-otch this week, Little Man is sick, and I just feel very behind in the upkeep of the house. Now that it's Saturday I'm feeling better, so that's good. On Thursday my buddy Laura came by - and even brought me Starbucks. That SO made my week! I am always too cheap to splurge on Starbucks so when someone brings it for me it's like Christmas.

The best part of the week was that Hubby let me sleep in this morning - I slept until 9:30! It was fabulous. I miss the days of sleeping in.

I'm now off to figure out what I should use to organize my makeup drawer in the bathroom. I am convinced that I can use organizers for kitchen utensils but I haven't figured it out quite yet.

Surprising Papa....

So Saturday was my dad's 60th birthday. My brother (who lives in NC) and I flew in to Milwaukee on Friday, rented a car, and surprised him while he was out to dinner with his girlfriend. It was great. Then on Saturday night we threw a surprise party. His girlfriend went to a lot of trouble and did a great job. Hopefully they'll email me pictures so I can post some.

My brother was so wasted, the party was over, and while my dad, his girlfriend and I were cleaning up, my brother was in the corner singing Earth, Wind & Fire on the karaoke machine. It was priceless.

This whole weekend I was WITHOUT my little man. He stayed home with Daddy for the weekend. I did surprisingly well, I only cried a few times.

It was snowing on Sunday when I flew back. I wanted to fly standby for an earlier flight, but I didn't because I didn't get to the airport in time. Good thing - THIS was the flight I was supposed to be on! Eeeeek!

Now I'm home, and trying sooo hard to catch up on housework, groceries, school work, work, etc. It ain't easy. So that's why I haven't posted! Kisses!

Aren't I sexy!

So since Little Man was born I started grinding my teeth at night. I don't know why. But my dentist keeps hounding me, saying if I don't do something about it my teeth will all be ruined. Hello, I can't control what I do when I sleep! She wants me to get a nightguard from the dentist. AFTER insurance, this would run me about three hundred bucks. I of course do not have three hundred bucks.
So, I am trying THIS. It's a cheapy version I found at Walmart. I figure if it does what the expensive guard does, and only costs 20 bucks, it's genius!

I wore it for the first time last night. Hubby was so "sweet" he waited until I had the guard in my mouth to ask me questions. I was certainly hot with my lisp. I know you are jealous. So ladies, if you want to find a way to be alluring to your husbands, this is for sure it!

Look Ma - I'm not procrastinating!

I am all about procrastinating. I got through college doing all-nighters to study or write papers.
But alas! So far I have not been procrastinating in my MBA class. Granted, I'm only in Week 2, but hey! Better than nothing! I am already about 80% done with my work for the week, and it's not due until noon Sunday. Which means I can start Week 3 work early. It feels really good. I have to remind myself of how it feels when I want to put it off later in the course...

Random thought...

When we have male guests stay at our house, they use the towels on the towel bar. Female guests get towels out of the linen closet and leave the towel bar towels as is. Why is that?

First Haircut!

Little Man got his very first hair cut today. We went to a place called Lollilocks, an adorable hair salon that caters to kids. What a brilliant idea! They had different things the kids could sit on when they got their hair cut. Little Man sat in a little car. It was so cute. He did great, he didn't freak out or anything. And he doesn't have a mullet anymore! He has a little boy haircut. Granted, he still has some more hair to grow before he has a "full head," but he's getting there! My boy's growin' up!

No wonder no one reads my blog....

...I don't even tell you when exciting things happen! lol. Read this blog of my neighbor's. It's from the other day when we convinced ourselves our other neighbor was dead!

Old pics are funny.

I am helping plan a surprise party for someone (who may read this, so I can't say much!). In doing so I'm going through old pictures, and some are HILARIOUS! Once the party is over I'll have to post some because they keep making me giggle. Oh, and I ordered a big old sign from BannerGrams. I will let you know how it turns out. It sure was expensive, but cheaper than the one Kinko's was going to do.

Why I was late to work yesterday...

A UPS truck got stuck in my street, blocking my entire driveway. For over an hour. It was ridiculous. It took 3 of my neighbors to get him out. The worst part? He wasn't even bringing me any packages.

Remember me?

You haven't heard from me in a while. But dammit, I've been busy! Let me update you...

-MIL and BIL's flights were canceled. They both (luckily) got in the next night. Unfortunately, my BIL's luggage was lost and he got in a few days later. (Side note, how does luggage on a DIRECT flight get lost?!?!?)

-Hubby and I did not make it to Orlando for New Year's. The weather was too crazy. We were able to cancel our hotel room, and got a credit for our plane tickets, so luckily we didn't lose much money.

-Since MIL was here for New Year's, I got drunk with hubby. We were so cool we played Trivial Pursuit. We were going to go to a party, but were both pretty crabby about the Florida cancellation and just weren't up for it. The worst part of being at home on New Year's - it was a Sunday night, so we couldn't watch Conan do his "Happy New Year Central Time Zone" - we enjoyed that last year when we were home with newborn Little Man.

-On an awesome note, Wisconsin won the Capital One Bowl! Go Badgers! (we could've been there....)

-We apparently missed quite the crazy time in Florida. Let's just say it involved trying to pry open a manhole cover with a policeman's nightstick to look for a cell phone at 2 in the morning...

-My SIL showed up on Jan 2nd, and she and MIL were here until last Sunday night. SIL is interviewing for residencies (she's in med school) and had an interview in Denver. I think she liked it, she's got a few more interviews but I'll keep you posted. It would be fun to have more family here! SIL and MIL did a lot of shopping with me - we hit both Castle Rock Outlets and Colorado Mills!

-I officially got into the MBA program! I started my class on Sunday night. It's kicking my butt and taking all of my time, but it's really interesting!

There you go! Now you're up to date. Now I have to keep up to date! Sheesh!

I really am alive...

Things have been crazy. My in laws leave tonight and then I'll have time to write all about New Years and the past week. Kisses!
