Blue Fuzzies

I am sooo into the colors teal, chocolate, and white. My boys room is decorated in it, my wardrobe consists of it, now my socks are that color. Fuzzy warm and the softest ever teal, chocolate, and white socks that release aloe vera into my footsies. I love it! Along with my new henleys that I resisted buying the same colors of - instead I went with deeper shades of blue and green.

Nothing Like

...the smile on J's face as him and his cousin K's face as they smile over eating J's birthday cake together

...the hug S gives Grandpa out of the blue at the dinner table

...spending a whole day of shopping with my Mom and my sister - at a Tanger Outlet center no less

...climbing in a van full of dirty, stinky boys who went fishing all morning long with Grandpa and Daddy

...hearing how K said today was the funnest day

...getting a new wardrobe including trendy items I'm usually too timid to get but splurged on today

...Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory Peanut Butter Caramel Apples and Chocolate Fudge

...driving in a storm with white knuckles gripping the steering wheel, watching lightning all around and hitting a puddle that splashes as high as your car

...dinner at the Olive Garden with the noisiest most loving family in the world

...freshening up in the car beforehand with my new Hurley strapless beaded top

...watching two very tired tuckered boys fall asleep within minutes

...one other should be very tired tuckered out boy crawl in bed with us and fall asleep then

Decisions, decisions

Okay guys I need your help deciding. I have credit to spend at Delia's and I'm torn between these three in either the top print or bottom color:



this:



or this:


What do you think?


Update: I’ve made up my mind on the top one with the halter and skirtini but in the bottom color. Done and ordered. Yay! Thank you!

The Cute Stuff

So I've decided enough with this beachy cute style that I absolutely love and have working on attaing more fashionable items. At Forever 21 I ended up with light and summery white embroidered pants with a tie that fit just perfect and a turqouise v-neck tee and three pairs of dangly earrings. I could only find pictures for these two.

At Fast Forward I found a bikini. Couldn't find the picture there either, argh. It's turquoise with an embroidered brown edge and embroidered flowers on one side of the top and the back of the bottom. It's that halter top style which leaves some FUNKY tan lines. All for lookin' good though : ) .

Last night I went to Burlington Coat Factory which I had no idea was such an AWESOME store - it sounds like, well, a coat factory, but it's far from. I found my first two pairs of high heels and my first pair of espadrilles. Shocking I know. I come from a beach town though so we are a cult of flip flops.





And my last fun but totally random item. A chocolate brown boho skirt similar to this one. I have a shirt like the one in the pic too. With my new chocolate espadrilles, that would be a cute outfit.

Sharks & Fishies

We ended up having a wonderful day yesterday. I decided to go to Monterey to try on the dress, and then check out the Monterey Bay Aquarium to have a little entertainment. Then I decided since I haven't spent ANY time with my sister lately I would invite her. She was more than happy to come, then informed me she had no money for gas or parking. Neither did I. So we met at Starbucks in Aptos, parked her car, loaded her and her kids in mine, she treated for Starbucks as she had a gift card, and we were on our way. Venti Coffee and Grande Vanilla Latte half caff in hand.

First we went to Macy's where she sat in the car with the kids while I shopped. Insert amazing angelic heavenly sound here. Shopping alone. It's amazing. You can actually THINK you know. Which I did - lots of. I found the dress that they'd put on hold for me, tried it on, loved it, appreciated the sweet little Mexican lady in the dressing room ooohing and aaaahing over me in it, decided while I was there (and kid-free) I really should see if there's an appropriate bra to wear with it so that I would actually wear it when the time came. After a call put in to a friend to find out the best kind to get, I ended up with a Lily of France clear Strappie. I was going to go without the clear straps as the halter provides plenty of coverage for a normal one, but they didn't have one. And I didn't have THAT much time. So as soon as I'm done there I decide you know what would be really great is if I could get some shoes to go with, the outfit would be complete and I'd be set to go. So I swung by the shoe department and the first ones I laid my eyes on were the ones. Oh yes, I tried a few others, but it was love at first sight and no going back. Coral Leather just sounds beautiful, and the color goes oh so perfect.


Outfit complete and an hour later, I headed out to a car full of roused kids and we headed off for our reward. Two and a half hours later, tired, happy, and with enough fish memories to last until the next time, we headed home.

Today was to be equally as a good day. Sweet Ireland Girl to come over and show us her baby 3-D ultrasound CD, then over to Oma's to color Easter eggs (I know, I know, weeks late), then to Big Guy's Nice Lady Two. Only thing is, SIG and Oma bailed on us. Now I just get to find something else to entertain our keisters with. Have I mentioned how much fun it is to come up with alternative words for the word ass?

Summer Weddings

Can you guys tell me what you think of this dress?

Do you think that would be absolutely perfect for a summer wedding or what? I seem to be inundated with weddings this year which is absolutely fantabulous but need to stretch my wardrobe to actually include some wedding wear. I went over the top in January to get May wedding attire and now am stuck with three gorgeous skirts but no appropriate top for that occasion. I am thinking a dress for the July wedding will be much simpler.
