So I downloaded the Faceapp that was going around—YIKES! I wonder if this is really what I’m going to look like in 30-40 years? I hope not, since anti-aging skin care is my new normal. 💙
Let me know if you want some skincare samples… 😜
I might also have done Tom, too.
We’ve already reached this point today because we’re trying to pack for a vacation. 🤦🏻♀️🤯
They’re whining that they can’t find stuff…but they won’t put their dirty clothes in the hamper, won’t put their clean clothes away, or do their laundry. And even though I’ve asked 21 times, the same crap is still on the floor and I’m still stepping on it and over it.
I just keep thinking about the light at the end of the tunnel…the kids will be gone for TWO WEEKS with their grandparents. 🙌🏻🙌🏻
I love a clean house. Love love love. It’s actually relaxing and lowers my stress level and makes everything in life just that much better…but unfortunately I don’t have the energy to do it, let alone the energy AND patience required to get the kids to do their fair share. (You’ve heard the expression herding cats, right? It’s legit.)
So we live with clutter and chaos and hope for a somewhat picked up house every few weeks when we have friends over. 😂
What state is your house normally in?
Because it’s true.
I’m not too bad looking for a dude, and am really kinda cute as the girl (or maybe it’s just I look 20 years younger). 😂 I do make a cute couple, though.
I don’t like Owen’s dude face much but his girl is kinda cute.
And this fits her personality perfectly.
So we originally were going to have the lobster for dinner Saturday night, so I just threw the bag in the garage fridge and didn’t think about it. Fast forward to a change of plans and we weren’t going to eat them Saturday night but we still needed to get in that fridge. Imagine Tom’s surprise when he opened the door and the lobsters were trying to escape! They had made it out of the (untied) bag and were in the door compartment!
Ha. I googled H2OJ this morning looking for a cool picture/logo and look what came up. 😂 You really don’t expect to see yourself in a Google search result. (There are also more pictures of me down the page.)
When you try to duplicate a friend’s signature selfie smirk and you fail miserably but it’s still kinda cute. 😂

She shows you how it’s done!
The ones that got me laughing and then it was all downhill from there.
I’ve been struggling with my weight loss reboot. I’ll lose 5-10 then gain it back. Lather, rinse, repeat. (Lather, rinse, repeat.) I partially blame margaritas because DAMN they’re just so good. And I blame my own attitude: I’ve still lost 110# overall and holy crap that’s awesome…right? But I feel blah lots of the time…and fat (some of my clothes are way tighter than they should be). I created a Facebook group (for friends in the same boat) to help with accountability but even that hasn’t helped as much as I’d hoped. I am annoyed at myself for slacking on the NS principles and letting my weight balloon up 30# because I KNOW BETTER and NS couldn’t be easier. I feel guilty I have just seemingly lost any willpower I’ve had. I know I can do this…I just need to DO IT. So I keep trying. All I can ever do is keep trying.
I know there are other apps that do this—and I think the kids have used them with a sitter—bit this was my first attempt. The technology is cool.
Excuse my French. LOL
Though honestly I wouldn’t say that until it was a bit more blizzard-y.
I love this cartoonist: Fowl Language Comics
Oh no, I’m not all business all the time. Sometimes a girl has gotta fluff her hair before a selfie (my phone happened to be on the camera setting on the floor and I loved how crazy my hair looked).
Me, standing in front of a box and pointing to it: Owen, can you please take this box downstairs?
He says yes then walks right by me to pick up the box I just set in the other room.
Me: 😳😐
So, we just completed the pre-move walkthrough with the moving company guy. Consensus? We have too much shit. I know this comes as no surprise to people who know us… We NEED to purge but it’s SOOOO hard. So I decided today was the day to clean out the bulk of the four-drawer file cabinet. We just keep stuffing crap in there and never use any of it—and it’s about 200 pounds we can easily get rid of. Of course, I have to quickly sort through everything because there’s stuff I know I’ll want to keep, but I came across so much old junk that made me laugh or cringe that I posted some to Facebook.

I personally love butter sponges.
I’ve posted comics from this website before (Fowl Language Comics). They’re all sorts of awesome and always hit home.
I actually look at my calendar to help determine when I’m going to wash and dry my hair.
