Lemon

It is apparent that I did not do any house work today. It is crystal clear that I had a lazy day. I did however spend quality time with the kids. We went on a bike ride after school in search of an ice cream truck, this was Ethan's brilliant idea. We rode up and down the neighborhood with no luck. When we got home we got ready to head on out to the ball field. Ethan had a game today. I rode my bike and the kids rode their scooters. It's not very far and it was a lot nicer than the ride I had a couple of days ago to a different park. I've really enjoyed being without a car these past few days, I'm making lemon aid out of this lemon. Next week I may even take the bus to work. What an adventure that will be.

Last minute shopping

Last minute shopping trip last night at Macy's and Sephora. I went shopping for Neeny's birthday. She is one of my bestie's at work. I started off at Macy's, in the shoe department. I found a pair of Rocket Dog sandals that really caught my eye. I might go back for them. After I left the shoe department I went to accessories which is why I was at Macy's in the first place. I browsed through all the jewelry lines looking for something that screamed Neeny! When all of a sudden BAM! right in my face was a Jessica Simpson pink, heart pave necklace. Super cute, super Neena. It was $25 dollars but when I got to the register it had been marked down to $12. Yay me! I left Macy's and went to Sephora. Well, a mini Sephora inside of JC Penney. It's the closest Sephora I have and this was an emergency. I bought Neena lip gloss . The colors are lovely and now I want a set of them.

Bike ride

The mini van is on the fritz and it will not be ready until tomorrow so in the mean time we are a one car family. E drove the kids to the park today and I rode my bike there. Now it's important you have a clear mental picture of the things I saw and most importantly, the things I imagined. My grizzly little story begins with a scary encounter with a car around the corner from my house. I was crossing the street and he was turning the corner really fast. Needless to say I was terrified and my journey only went downhill from there. Finally I composed myself and was on my way. I was about half way there when I swear a man on a bike was following me. Now that I think of it he may have been trying to just pass me up. I imagined him throwing me off and stealing my bike. I would end up on the street half dead with no bike. Once I got out of that creepy little neighborhood across town I felt safe. I was on a busy street and could see the park from where I was. I got to the park in time to see my son hit a triple. I was a proud mom with soar legs.

Vegas baby!

My oh my. How can I sum up the weekend and truly give it justice. All I can say is that the high's were high and the low's were low. Our group consisted of 27 family members all in Vegas for a wedding. I really got to know E's family and I absolutely love them. Our family trip was fab and I can't wait for the next one. I didn't even care that I didn't do any shopping, I did however put my Brazilian Blowout to the ultimate test. I let my hair air dry after getting out of the pool & I didn't look like a poof ball head. My hair looked fantastic if I do say so myself. So I must give props to my amazing Brazilian Blowout. Which by the way I am doing the Brazilian Blowout in case you are interested. So all in all I had a fantastic weekend, not just because I have amazing hair but because I have an amazing family.

BLAHHHH

What is it called when you have so much to do but you don't want to do it? Oh yeah, it's called being lazy. That's exactly how I'm feeling. We are leaving for Vegas in less than 2 days and my to do list is out of control. I should have taken the day off from work tomorrow. I did however accomplish a few things today. After work I did some shopping. I went to this new boutique in Long Beach called Lauri's Little Secret. I bought a cute blouse and Becky bought a super cute dusty rose maxi dress. I also went to Old Navy to buy a pair of flip flops to replace the one's Ben ate. Ben is our hound dog who has an appetite for chanclas. I had a successful Ross trip. I snagged three dresses for under $50. A floral maxi dress, and two short casual dresses. I hope these outfits work with Vegas weather. I better go to bed if I plan on conquering that to do list.

Comfy shoes?

I thought these would be appropriate work shoes. My aching feet beg to differ. Maybe I'll try wearing them on an easier day.

Lets get this thing going

Okay, so here I go. I'm blogging. WooHoo! I commit to being honest, having fun, and showing the real me. SCARY..... Hope that at least one person enjoys reading about my trials and tribulations, even if it's just my husband. Love ya boo!
