Floating Around in My Mind

Soooo, I have all these thoughts for posts lately--but none are substantial enough to stand on their own.  Which is why I have decided to post this smorgasbord of the things floating around in my mind as of late.

Here goes:

Something magical is happening in the state of California right now.

Something so glorious that my taste buds have been dancing a little jig ever since they heard the good news.

Two words: Cafe Rio

Two more words: Pork Salad

That's right folks--Cafe Rio has entered the great state of California--and we couldn't be happier!

Pet Peeve: Something that really irks me--is when I am putting on mascara {which I already don't enjoy doing} and I miss putting the wand in the holster and I get mascara all over my finger and the side of the container. Arggg.

Something new in the world of Baby W--My little snaggle tooth has learned how to flirt.  That's right ladies, here he is flashing you his toothy come hither look.

So I took a trip to the fabulous Dollar Tree to stock up on some necessities. Couldn't help but notice this little impulse buy at the register--Just what I want, diet pills from the Dollar Tree.  I'm sure they're FDA approved--anyone want me to pick them up a box?

{Jess these are almost as good as your spider encased lollipops}

Funny quick story: my dear friend was driving around lost and called up her 15 year old daughter for directions.  She sent her to the computer to google maps and had her read the directions out loud.  Her daughter told her she needed to make a left turn on Smokey Doctor {instead of Smokey Dr.}--true story!

Here's our latest family picture from our front stoop:

Poppa Bear, Momma Bear and Baby Bear

Have I mentioned that I started the Insanity work out program?

Well, I have--and it's exactly as it's advertised--INSANE! Disregarding the fact that I feel like I am on the brink of death throughout the entire work out, I would highly recommend this program--muscles I never knew existed have come out to say hi!  This work out reminds me that

I am alive--and that's a good feeling!

So I posted this picture in my "grateful post" and I just felt compelled to post it again. This picture touched me to the very core--and I can't get it out of my mind.  This picture is my reminder to cherish EVERY moment I am able to spend with my Baby W--especially during those moments when I want nothing more than to be alone--during those moments, I remember this picture--and then I don't want to be away from those I love any more.

Did I ever tell you that we dropped Baby W's special 1st Birthday cake on the ground?

And then we fed it to him anyway,

because that's what a Mother of the Year {such as myself} would do.

Hmmm, I guess that's all that's on my mind...

Thanks for letting me purge.

Until next time, "Keep Calm and Carry On",

and while your at it,
