So WHAT Wednesday

sowhatwed

Today is Wednesday an I am saying SO WHAT if…

  • I haven’t packed for Vermont yet and I can’t find my bathing suit cover up anywhere
  • C is in Arizona more than he’s in New York
  • There was a woot off yesterday and now it’s still going on today…. I can’t mention what I bought on here because it will likely be Christmas gifts… but really… $84 later…
  • only when *certain* people sneeze I want to punch them…
  • I like Carole and Dorinda on Real Housewives together in London… and Sonja cracks me up
  • K Meghan King Edmonds, you can eat cheese burgers and still be skinny… got it
  • I still haven’t seen teen mom 2 season 6 episode 3 so I can’t comment on Leah’s messy car yet
  • who knew a lion would be out walking around Milwaukee?  I need updates on this asap
  • I mowed 80% of my lawn before realizing how to make it self propel
  • I can’t stop thinking about pf changs lettuce wraps
  • I love when things don’t go as planned on Big Brother
  • I am terrified to hit a deer when I’m driving… I feel like that’s something that happens to everyone at least once so I’m due
  • I’m just like my mom, I love a good deal
  • My email is up to 166 unread and it’s stressing me out, didn’t I just clear it?!
  • my neighbors got a pool
  • I feel like I graduated from college 100 years ago, and high school 200 years ago
  • I have like 2 college friends I talk to on about a bi weekly basis and that’s it… with fb these days I don’t need to actually contact anyone to be updated on their life
  • As a maid of honor I need to get on some stuff… maybe starting next week.. sorry smellen
  • I gots me some baby fever
  • I’m afraid of contracting a rare odd bacterial infection by swimming in a lake that kills me and or makes me lose my skin and limbs…. WHAT how can you not think about that after hearing Amy Purdy’s story on Dancing with the Stars or what if a leech goes up my nose and into my brain like on Grey’s Anatomy… ughhhh it’s just not worth it is it???
  • who is going to be on the next season of DWTS anyway?

Friday’s Letters

Friday letters

Dear NF, I love you SO much and it broke my heart putting you to bed when my sister came over (your favorite aunt) and you hysterically cried out the window of your bedroom as she went out to her car to leave, you were supposed to be sleeping!!

Dear Smellen, I hope you enjoy your dress this weekend!

Dear Teevee, I so look forward to spending this weekend with you!

Dear C, I am actually so fine with you leaving again for work

Dear weekend, oh my goshness gracious (that’s how nf has been saying it this week) I can’t wait for you to officially be here

Dear Johnny Mac on Big Brother, you’re my fav for sure

Dear Rent the runway, I mean… maybe my pick was a little ambitious for my circumstance?  I hope you work out for me.

Dear LuAnn de Lesseps, you’re actually maybe my favorite this season of real housewives of new york

Dear Magaroni and cheese, so excited for your shower!!

So last night C was home for the first time since July 5th… and it was my night to run away.  As soon as we got home I bolted out the door.  First I got a pedicure… ahhhmazing.  I picked black for my toes.  Sometimes I go the darkest purple imaginable, but this time I just went black.  Afterwards I went straight to PF Changs and ordered the lettuce wraps I’ve been dreaming about for weeks.  I dined alone, which I don’t know if I’ve ever done at a real restaurant?  But I didn’t care at all I was just SOOOO happy to eat this meal.

Oh yeah, we went to Chuck E. Cheese’s… which NF calls “Chuckacheese” and per tradition we got our picture taken.

I ate this dog Justin Bieber inspired dark chocolate brought back from Germany and it was seriously SO good.

Vicki from real housewives of orange county has similar taste as my sister because she has these vases!  (I took this picture of the tv)

In Big Brother news…

bbshelli

  • Shelli’s copying Vanessa’s sunglasses inside look
  • I loved the whackstreet boys
  • Can Audrey get in trouble for not going to the veto meeting?
  • I now know what a #9 crown is
  • Did Shelli really cry over a letter from her dog?  (That was obviously not actually written by her dog)
  • What’s with Judas?
  • Liz’s voice keeps getting deeper and deeper and I love it
  • John keeps getting louder and louder and it confuses me… why is he yelling?

msgm blue blossom dress

I ordered this dress from rent the runway and it’s coming today (MSGM blue blossom dress)…. YESTERDAY they emailed me to tell me that they could only send me it in one size because the second size was not able to ship (damaged or not returned)… WHAT… so they are sending me this dress in a size 42 (Italian sizing, which is totally confusing to me) and then sending me THIS dress too (Theia Blue Gradient dress)(which they picked themselves for me)…

dresssss

Either way I’m super excited to try both of them on and make my pick!

Dear NF, Really?  You want to go to work with me that bad?

Dear Starbucks, I love that you make decaf frappuccinos now… last I asked for one in 2011 you didn’t.  I’ll take a decaf, tall, shot of raspberry, no mocha, skim milk, no whip, java chip frappuccino.  I should write that down and just hand it to them.

Dear chicken soup I just ate, you were amazing.  Pronto Joey’s is my spot (even though that soup was from their more formal restaurant downstairs.

Dear Janman & Magz, happy birthday!!!!!

Dear smellen, see you later!!

Today’s Thursday and I’m linking up with Ramblings of a Suburban Mom

IMG_20150715_192045IMG_20150710_190432

AHH I love him… so many things NF does that I want to remember, the way he says “scoop over” instead of scootch over.  He woke up at 6:15 this morning and crawled into bed with me.  He told me his new shirt scared him and he couldn’t wear it this morning, but I didn’t give in and change it.  He tried strawberry milk for the first time today too.

NF’s so lucky to have an amazing Aunt and soon to be Uncle.

paneraaaa

What’s your favorite thing at Panera?  I feel like I go there at least once a week.  Especially with C gone for work two weeks at a time… we frequently visit Panera.  NF likes the chocolate chip muffie (muffin top) and he calls it a muffin cookie.  I like to get the half sandwich half salad.  I always get the Roasted Turkey & Avocado BLT (although last time I went my avocado was hard and not ripe at all) and I’ve been trying every salad.  I want to branch out, what’s your go to order for Panera?

do us a flavor

AHHHH it’s that time of year again!!!  Lay’s do us a flavor contest!!  This years flavors are…. kettle cooked greektown gyro, wavy west coast truffle fries, southern biscuits and gravy, and new york reuben.  WHOA, where to start?  Okay the gyro… I don’t think I will like this… I am assuming it will taste like tzatziki and lamb flavor?  Truffle fries, can’t go wrong right?  southern biscuits and gravy, I like the idea of this, especially since there is no chicken flavor involved, but it could be bad. And the Reuben?  SO many flavors go into a Reuben, will it taste like ryebread, swiss cheese, russian dressing, sauerkraut, AND corned beef????  How?!!!  Last year (2014) these were my thoughts on the flavors… wasabi ginger, pretty good, I liked it as the kettle chip (I feel like kettle chips have a head start on the rest).  The cappuccinio chips, gross, they had a throw up after taste.  I didn’t try the bacon mac & cheese or the mango salsa… wish I had.  My thoughts for the 2013 chips… Chicken and waffles, weird it tasted like maple syrup and chicken.  Sriracha, love.  And cheese garlic bread, alright.  I think it’s so crazy that canada has a whole other SET of flavors… OMG that reminds me… I need to call my cousin in Calgary asap.  I need to try them ALL.

Big brother news… I’m loving the twin twist.

twins

Why does John scream everything in the diary room… I know it’s like a big brother thing, but he takes it to another level.

Big-Brother-2015-Spoilers-Vanessas-Meltdown-480x269vanessa

My Favorite to win the whole thing is hands down Vanessa.  She’s super cool.  She might have a melt down tonight?  We’ll see!

don

So much is going on with the Don lately.  Fox news is constantly talking about him.  Here’s what I know… June 16th he says he’s running for prez 2016.  June 28th he says he’s giving up TV the apprentice to run for president.  June 29th NBC says they are done with Trump because of the derogatory statements he said about immigrants.  Today everyone finds out he is worth 10 billion.  HERE are my thoughts.  I’m mad about the apprentice, I really liked that show and he made it good… I would never watch it if George Lopez was the host.  As for him running for president, I guess I’ll just wait and see what happens.

oldnavy

I got this dress from Old Navy… and I love it.

scott

I’m pretty upset about Scott and Kourtney.  I don’t want it to be the end.

So WHAT Wednesday

sowhatwed

Today is Wednesday and I am saying SO WHAT if…

  • I am thankful Big Brother’s on 3 nights a week because summer tv is not so great
  • True Detective has lost my interest…. you just can’t top Woody Harrelson and Matthew Mcconaughey..just can’t.
  • I don’t really care that sources are saying Heather Thomson is going off Real Housewives of NYC…
  • I am ok with it being rainy and cool today
  • I question how important rotating your tires really is
  •  Nicholas yelled at this woman who was talking to me from the back seat, “HEY LADY YOU HAVE TRAINS” and she said, “Hey lady?  Is that how you get my attention?”  and he said, “I think like, you look like a lady?  Are you a man?”  and I am just so glad he didn’t say anything about boobs

Friday Letter’s

Friday letters

Dear summer tan, I’ve given up on you already.

Dear NF, I love that you say, “hey, can you please scoop over” while sticking your butt into someone instead of saying scoot.  You’re going to see more fireworks tonight!!  And I love that you’re so excited.

Dear taffy, I don’t really like you that much.

Dear Ariana Grande, ok, so you apologized twice… but what about licking the donuts… are you going to explain that part??

Dear instagram, I feel a real connection with the celebs now, thank you.

Dear Scott Disick, why oh why oh why… I am always routing for you and Kourtney!!

Dear Smellen, you don’t eat mcdonalds happy meals now that you’re getting married within 6 months… I SEE HOW IT IS.  I really wanted to up my chances of getting the cave man minion that says “what the f…”  thanks a lot.  Oh but I do appreciate for those free baseball tickets you got… that was nice.

Dear True Detective, I’m losing interest.

Dear Shimmer and Shine, I’ve seen the one episode you have on demand 100 times.
