New Obsession...

First, I need to say BEFORE you tease me: My husband is not home. I do not have sex. At times I need to be encouraged to clean my house. I also want to add that I spend my days with a two- year-old. He's cute, but he's messy, he has his mommy's temper, and he wants to drag toys to every corner of this house and his reasoning: Just to see if I'll pick them up. Okay, that last part I'm not positive about, but it could be true.

Anyhow *Drum roll, please* My new obsession is www.hgtv.com and their "Rate my room". I am not completely sure why I like this site so much considering most of the comments are not nice and the mean ones never have their own home posted for "critique-ing", but, nevertheless, I now have something to do. I just cannot read another book. My handle there is "schiperno" (Clever, right?)

Now if only I could convince hgtv into redoing my living room....Hey, a gal can dream, right?

Rock of HUH?

I am ashamed to say that I have been up for an hour now watching "Bret Michaels- Rock of Love". What the hell was I thinking? What would my husband say if I told him this is how I chose to spend my time? For Pete's Sake! These gals are a train wreck. Please tell me I never looked like them after one too many beers in my pre-mommy life.

Anyhow, Mister I'm-Too-Old-For-My-Nap passed out on me and this is what I am using as my excuse for not changing the channel earlier. No I did not have the remote....Of course not....

Moving at a Snail's Pace

Daddy LOVED this photo of Stevie because his top says "Tough Guy", but the face he is making so clearly DOES NOT say "Tough Guy". My kid is too funny, even when he's not trying!

We have finished a bunch of small to-do things this week such as water the grass, retrieve drycleaning, etc., ect. Yesterday Stephen also did a craft with Cassandra that involved mixing food coloring, glue, and shaving cream. He stayed very serious the whole time (A true artist) but he loved it. Now my office has the fresh smell of shaving cream thanks to his bulletin- board art work.

And a few steps back....

I couldn't not post these....






My kid is so darn cute!

Sad to See You Go!

First off, let me say that I adore the thought of being a blogger-mom; However, quite frankly, there's just not enough hours in a day for me to complete all of the miniscule tasks I assign myself. SO consider this blog a small recap of the past week.....

My Uncle Bill and Aunt Mary came in the day before I turned 26 to visit and they leave in just a few hours. : ( Boo!!

My Aunt and I did not have the constant urges to strangle each other (this is a first! One that my dad, aunt, Sonya, and my Uncle have even pointed out in a shocked tone...!)! We did a bunch of things, (and I should add ATE a bunch more things...) and they were so helpful with Stephen! Just tonight he even shelled out some kisses to his Auntie. I can honestly say I am NOT looking forward to tomorrow-- He's going to be so sad to not see his "Grandmas". (Yes, Bill and Mary are BOTH "Grandmas" Stephen tells us.) I know I am in for it!

We went to Austin, we celebrated my 26th Birthday, Valentine's day, their tenth anniversary, we made a trip to Austin and another trip to Topsey, Texas and went on the drive-through Safari, we visited Fort Hood and Salado and went for a wine-tasting and topped it off with two back-to-back days watching Stephen tire himself out in the back yard.

My husband is terribly homesick and I am missing him like crazy. If it were not for his emails right now, I would be sleeping and be yet another blog behind :)
He's worth the lack of sleep though!

OH I had to officially become a Texan today. Phoo-ey. I'll download my license if it ever comes through the mail (and if it's a good photo!) for ya'all here soon.

Getting There ~ Office Decore

Our office is finally getting there! I have a 5x7 simple rug to add in and two black and white damask pattern curtains are being added-in next to the black curtains. I need to add pictures into the frame and I still need a new black stand for the TV to go on top of (Ikea trip?) I'm trying to convince Josh that the office chair needs to be white and I am doing some finishing touches around the room. I am SO much happier with this office and it is SO much easier to keep clean. Yay! I am also waiting for a decal for the wall across from the desk. I'll be sure to add a picture when it's here and on the wall!

Everything is Funny as Long as it Happens to Someone Else

I've been telling Donna Evans that everytime I leave the house I have an issue, therefore I should just always stay at home. I have just been irritated by one stupid thing after another lately. Anyhow, against my better judgement, we have been out and about a lot this weekend. We have done a lot of shopping, but we have not spent much. (Josh will love that last part!)

Friday we also got Stephen's Valentine's Day portraits finished. Isn't he too cute?
