snow again!!!

more snow.....gaahh!!! seriously mother nature i promise never to complain about the heat and humidity again if you could see fit to let us bid winter and these snowstorms buh-bye!!another 7-9 inches today and they don't expect it to stop snowing until tomorrow evening.

yet another snow day means i spent the day in old jeans and one of doug's sweatshirts building outfits on polyvore(which is totally like a grown up version of paperdolls!) because i'm bored i'd thought i would share my all time favorite super bowl commercial this year. is it strange the i have this bokmarked and watch at least once a day because it makes me gigle like a school girl?



have a lovely evening:)

i heart you grandma audrey

today, valentine's day, would have been my grandma audrey's 92nd birthday. we lost her two years. i was just getting to know her as an adult. she came and spent a week at our house and i got to ask her questions about her life and questions about what my mom was like as a little girl. we made peach cobblers and apple pies. she played chess and checkers with my son and sat in the back yard and watched my girls swim(something she never learned to do). she caused a little bit of a scandal when at 15 she ran off to marry my grandfather who was ten years older and the trumpet player in a band! lately with wedding on the brain i've been thinking about how much i wish she could be there because i know that she would have enjoyed herself and danced her heart out. she had a fondness for prince. you haven't lived until you've seen you 80 year old grandma bust a move to prince's version of "kiss":) happy birthday grandma! i love you!!

a brief update

we have been buried in snow, not as much as those of you in the northeast, but enough to shut down schools and keep me home from work for a few days. the kids are getting restless and i am bored to tears but i have vowed to leave the house tomorrow! since i've been lounging around the house in sweats and my favorite old sweater(which i should have thrown out years ago but i can't manage to part with it) i've also been totally slacking on working out:( not good since my first fitting is on march 1! i've tried not to blab on and on about wedding details because i'm not sure if any of you want to know any of the details. i do have a dress which is super exciting and i loooove it!! but if you're interested in the plans i'd be happy to share.

anyway, i promise i'll be back tomorrow:) have a lovely evening!

well, we found out on friday that d has a mild case of the swine flu..yikes!! we cancelled our plans friday to attend a surprise party for his uncle(obviously) and i spent friday evening dropping the kids off at my parents house and cleaning every surface in the house. the good news is he doesn't seem to be getting any worse but he still has a fever and feels like utter hell. saturday night the girls had homecoming so i spent most of the day getting them ready for the dance. i was prepared to stay home but doug insisted that i go the concert. i had a blast. i had no idea that n.e.r.d was the opening act so i was psyched when i got to see pharrell and his group in addition to jay z. the show was amazing and my girlfriends and i had a great night out. i forgot to take my camera but the picture above was taken after the concert. my daughters picked out the final outfit. i wasn't so sure about the sequin leggings but i guess i didn't look to crazy:)
