For cuteness sake

My dad is having surgery on his back tomorrow, so Liv had Kieran and Tanith draw up some artwork for his stay. Super cute :)

Ocean City or Bust!

I just got back from Ocean City, MD where we celebrated Trish's 25th birthday!! I got beat up by the ocean, ate too much and soaked up the East Coast sun. I'll post more pics later, but here's a taste...

Pictured here, "F'Real" smoothie, milkshakes and frozen cappuccinos. Bought at the WaWa gas station, sounds weird, but seriously one of the most convenient and delish concoctions created. You choose your frozen selection (Yay picked the chocolate milkshake, Trish selected the strawberry banana smoothie and I picked the frozen cap) out of the freezer; put your selection in the blender, choose your thickness and ta da -- tasty frozen treat in mere seconds. Mmmm I want Speedway or Mobil to purchase one of this amazing contraptions.

We didn't start the fire!

Here's a Craigslist Ad my sister sent me...hilarious!!

"Here's a free couch perfect for all those returning Michigan State students. This prime example of Ethan Allen craftsmanship from the late Nixon Administration has been lingering in my basement for the last 5 years after picking them up from a friend's garage sale.

This couch is HEAVY for what it is and was difficult to maneuver around my small house until I got it stuck on the landing where it wouldn't go up or go down. I sawed the legs off to get it out. It'll sit evenly with a couple of custom made 4x4 legs.

Or you can just burn it in the alley behind your frat house. It's all up to you. Pick up only. 1st Come 1st Serve."

Sparty On and happy friday :)

Flat Ray

Ray (My bro-in-law's, bro-in-law) just celebrated his 40th birthday. His wifey, Mia, threw him a surprise party and decided to make him a nice slideshow. With the invitation she included a picture of him (flat ray) for us to take around town and get creative. The purpose was to send him 'well wishes'.

Well we took it to another level, of course.

Happy Birthday Ray Ray :)

Wednesday Confessions

**They look innocent, but that's what they want you to think ;)**


I have a little bit of my dad in me -- I always double check to see if I unplugged my curling iron, hair straightener and whether or not I locked the doors and closed my garage.

I resemble my mom when I re-clean, what I just cleaned; use my bare hands to wash dishes; or think that I can handle hot pots and pans with no oven mitt.

I’m a mirror image of my sisters when I laugh so hard, I cry.

I search for something sweet after every meal.

I love chewing gum.

I have a habit of buying books at a faster rate than reading them.

I’m a sucker for free shipping (see confession above).

In addition to free shipping, I love sales. Buy one get one free, 40% off, 75% off…really any percentage off, I’m totally in.

I think I have a shoe addiction.

I love the moment, right before I fall asleep. I get the feeling for a brief moment that everything is going to be ok that isn’t.

I hate when in dreams you’re crying and it feels 150% real. I confess sometimes I’ve even woken myself up from literally crying.

I love my niece and nephew more than life itself. But when they’re crank-tastic, they instill a fear in me like no other, of having children in the future.

happy wednesday, all :)

Mmm snacks

Seriously, what I would do to have this in our breakroom at work...or in my condo...or anywhere near me really. I'd be happy with any of these really.

Liv said she likes the rice one...natch.

This beautiful contraption stores frozen potatoes; fries them in less than two minutes, salts them and then proceeds to dispense them with sauce and a napkin. **love**

Easy, Breezy, Summertime Fun

I've known these beautiful ladies since middle school! A lot has changed since then, but every time we get together it feels like nothing has changed at all.

Love you ladies! xoxo.
