Honeymoon

It's Friday!! Today's "Show us your life" that Kelly is hosting is Honey Moon's receptions. Since I have zero pictures of my reception on my computer, you get to see about one million pictures of my honeymoon!

We had THE best time on our honey moon! I've posted about it before here. We went to Aruba and spent seven nights and eight days in paradise and we had a blast.

We left the airport in Texarkana at 5 a.m. Can you tell Sean was a little tired??

We arrived at our Hotel The Grand Occidental and had champagne and free stuff waiting for us!!Our hotel was all inclusive so free drinks & food! Here's the view from our room.
Our Hotel had lots of stuff for us to do. There were four really nice restaurants. One was a Hibachi Grill and Sean got to try an egg trick. We also had a casino in our Hotel. Which was probably a bad decision on my part. Sean stayed at this table a lot. Except for when he went missing. You can read about it about halfway down this post.We probably shouldn't have had any of the free drinks in the Casino....We went sight seeing around the Island on Jeeps. These towers you see are stacked up by the tourists (us) for good luck in fertility. Sean wouldn't let me build one!SO I did when he wasn't looking.This church was really really old, it was cool. We visited the Famous Light house.And some really old rock building thing that was crumbling down.We went Parasailing...We went to Senor Frogs..We went fishing..

And this is what I got when I got home...Banjo!

We had the best time in Aruba. I highly recommend going there if you want a relaxing, romantic vacation and the Grand occidental was amazing!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great weekend!

Let's Talk Trash...

Is it just in my life...or do ALL men have trouble taking out the trash?? See, I'm a girl and I don't like to get dirty. I will if I have too but I just don't like it. Trash=Dirty. Boys=Dirty therefore Boys=Trash...right? Take out the trash!!

I clean your dirty laundry with Cow Crap on your pants and half the arena's dirt in your pockets. I wash your dirty dishes and clean your house ( most days ). JUST TAKE OUT THE TRASH!!!

I understand that I don't cook but once or twice a week and you are forced to microwave your food and I understand that I let Birdie sleep in between us at night and you pretend to not like it but, it's your only job inside the house. Please, I beg you, It's smelly...please please please TAKE OUT THE TRASH, please :)

**Let me just state for the record that we do not have a weekly trash pick up. We do not have a trash bin. We have a Dumpster at the Barn that is picked up every few weeks. It's at the In Laws 1/2 a min drive from our house. I have a Tahoe. I can't put trash in that, and I refuse to drive down the road with trash bags full of crap on top of my Tahoe like I'm going on Vacation with Trash for luggage. Otherwise...I would gladly take it out. **

Ok now,I'm finished bickering. I just had to gripe to someone else because I'm sick
of telling my husband to TAKE OUT THE TRASH!

Thanks,

PS. Birdie is 6 months old today!! She's getting so Big. I'm hoping her head will catch up with her body because right now she has a huge body, short legs and a tiny head with Huge ears! She's still cute though. She can Sit, Stay, Come, Fetch and she Puked in the hallway last night :( Let's hope that's not a trick she repeats anytime soon. Happy 1/2 Birthday Pretty Bird!

Why does Banjo always lick his lips when I take a picture??

Mascara Thanks

Hey, I just wanted to say a quick Thank you to Erin, Caroline M, Caroline B, and Laura for helping me out with Mascara choices. I went to the grocery store tonight instead of Wal-Mart so my choices weren't as broad but I ended up going with the XXL that Erin said she uses.



I have tried this before but not in the past year or so. And I haven't used the waterproof, maybe it will work better. Erin's eyelashes always look so great, I'm envious! I'm going to try that whole powder your eye thing to see if it keeps the mascara from leaping off my lashes onto my oily skin, making the raccoon effect. Maybe it will work differently this time!



Next time I go to the Mall I think I'm going to try the Lancome that Laura suggested, just can't work that into the schedule or budget right now.



Once again Thanks girls!!

I Love you so much I hate you.

I have an ongoing "Love/Hate" relationship with food. Right now I hate it. Food makes me feel yucky all the time. I wish I didn't have to eat. That would be nice, but then again I would miss out on some pretty pleasureful tasting food. After a week a few weeks of Sugar Crashes and accidental Gluten contamination I have decided that I'm going on a diet. So here's my plan...

Instead of working today at work, I made a menu for myself.... I wonder if anyone from my work ever came across my blog if they would think I was a slacker...I'm really not, I work really hard most of the time ....but back to my plan...

I've made a low cal menu that consists of Breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, & another snack. I'm going to go to the grocery store and get everything I need for a two weeks supply and I'm really excited about it. This is a very low maintenance "I don't have to cook" menu. Sean doesn't eat raw fruits or veggies...he's a meat and "taters" kind of guy...so he's gonna have to fend for himself in this new kitchen.

Anyway, I thought I'd share with you what I was eating, and let you know how my "diet" was going cause you know they say when you make other people hold you accountable it works better. Anyway...

Keep me motivated blog friends!! Please! I need you...
Thanks a million!
