the boring life-and-times

well my mom says that Jan's birthday card is pretty but she's tired of looking at it. so I'm being forced into a blog post when I'm not sure what to say!

I'll see what I can do.

*I'm getting over a very bad sunburn from the pool - forehead and shoulders are now peeling. joy.

*I'm doing great with my weight loss now that I figured out how to get passed the 8 lb freeze I had. I'll share more on that soon.

*I'd love a candy bar but the above statement would be out the window if I had one.

*Mexican food and french fries, too. :)

*my mom will be here in 13 days! the kids will drive me nuts until then!

*Oklahoma is in an excessive heat warning - it's 102 right now as I type this.

*swim lessons start on the 6th. I don't see Hailee passing this year either. she's too afraid.

*Braden...oh my Braden. that child scares me. he has KILLED one of his front teeth (at the young age of 3) and I pretty much think there's more to come from the natural born clutz

*Darren isn't happy with the weather either. especially when he has a lot of customers asking for extra stuff this year that they normally don't ask for.

*suppose those said customers don't like the excessive heat warning we're in.

*why is it a warning? it's here. nothing more to be warned about.

*our hot tub is {mostly} fixed and I'm so happy! we keep it at about 93 in the summer and just soak in nice comfy water while everything outside dies from the heat.

*I've been SUPER busy with stuff for the Aug/Sept issue of Ready, Set, Create and the Use Your Stash blog! can't share though. hehehehe

okay - 2 pictures is all I have - not many photo ops when we're staying indoors.

Hailee and her sunkissed cheeks - spf 50 couldn't keep the red off of her.



and Braden's dead tooth. see the lovely shade of grayish/brown (it's actually darker now)
