A year ago....

I need a vacation! So, as I was working late tonight (again!), I realized that a year ago exactly we were in Puerto Rico!
What an amazing trip.... if you ever get a chance, GO! The food is one of the best parts - we were blown away! I tried all kinds of local cuisine and so did Mr. Fix-It (I was impressed!) The culture, the history.... fascinating!



And the people..... I was pregnant with G-man - we went about 2 months before he was born. The people of Puerto Rico treated me like a queen! (Like a queen with a big belly, LOL!)


Ahhh, I hope to go back! And while I'm in the middle of this work hell.... I'll keep thinking of Puerto Rico....

Yee haw!? More like boo hoo....

These are the CUTE, so, so cute little boots I bought to give my sister at her baby shower tomorrow. Her cowboy-themed baby shower. That I helped plan. And should be hosting at her best friend's house tomorrow. Instead, I'll be in TX. While the snow has her way with OK and I just sit here, sad that I'm missing it all. They're going to send pics, but we all know it's not the same. I got this weather update from my mom:

SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BRING FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET TO NORTH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA LATE THIS MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON. A 1/4 INCH OF ICE ACCUMULATION IS POSSIBLE BEFORE THE PRECIPITATION CHANGES TO SNOW AND SLEET TONIGHT. THIS MAY CAUSE POWER OUTAGES DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. TOTAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS GREATER THAN 4 INCHES ARE EXPECTED...WITH THE HIGHEST SNOW TOTALS ACROSS NORTHERN OKLAHOMA...WHERE 8 INCHES OR MORE ARE POSSIBLE.

Awesome. It BETTER snow that much or I'll be insanely mad that I missed my sister's special day for nothing!

(And if anyone is wondering... YES, I got those boots on Etsy. Check out Curious Workmanship's Shop! She's got all booties 50% off right now and that's a steal! She's super easy to work with, offers ways to save on shipping and more! Go see her!!)

So, I've been helping my sis with the super cute Whale Nursery... and look at this! I found a couple little baskets she can throw pacis or diaper cream or whatever in. Cute, huh?

Just wait til you see the finished room! I've been helping her plan it from afar, and it's going to be soooo cute!

~~~~~In other news, I forgot AGAIN about Friday Show & Tell. Poor Big Sister... Mr. Fix-It said he was dropping her off and all the moms were handing their kiddos their whatevers for show and tell... and he just felt awful because we forgot. Again. She's been in this class a month and we have yet to remember. We suck.

Calgon, take me away.....

Yesterday, I got this pic as a text from Mr. Fix-It.

He was at the pool at The Flamingo (we've never stayed there before, but great location and the pool doesn't look half bad. AND a good choice for us in this recession!) I proceeded to text him a picture of where I was. At Sonic getting a vanilla diet coke. Using the last of that giftcard from my sweet (33 wks pregnant!) sister.

Anyway.... I want to go here:

And isn't this bikini cute? I would be wearing this:

And then I'd change into this for drinks tonight...

A girl can dream, huh? And that's about it, at this point. ;)

Go Pokes!!

It's March Madness y'all!!! And after getting accustomed to being in the tournament (and being good!), my poor Pokes went MIA from the big dance for the last several years. But they're back and they're playing right now!! Wish I was on a patio with outdoor TVs and beer.... watching with friends! (Instead of watching it on espn.com and laughing over the Boss Button! Those espn guys are funny...)

Oh, and these 2 pics are Big Sis, circa 2006. ;)
