random thoughts {1.}...

I am the worst blogger right now. Oh, well...at least I try. Right? Right. I have zero interesting going on in my life right now. Seriously. So, I am going to share some random thoughts I had throughout my day with y'all...

{1.} Oh my sweet, sweet baby Jesus can you PLEASE hook a sister up and rid me of this heinous sickness that has been cast down upon my being?! Seriously. I am a sicknast hacking, sneezing, earache ridden mess. Plus, my throat is wicked sore and I sound like a dude...or a REALLY masculine woman...or a heavy smoker. *Let the record show, I am not any of those things.

{2.} I got to actually testify in court on behalf of one of my clients last week, and the attorney said, "Let the record show Ms. H***** indicated my client in her statement." I felt SO freaking legit. It was like being on one of those killer/crime/solved in 45 minutes/lawyer/cop tv shows. It was legen-wait for it-dary.

{3.} My coworker Susan was gone Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of last week. We share an office and we hang out and talk shizz all day long. She is hilar and 75% of the reason why I love my job so much. Basically, I was bored out of my skull for the majority of last week. Thank goodness she came back today...or I was going to have to start talking to myself. Which I already do. The point? I missed her like whoa.

{4.} I bought the CUTEST shoes over the weekend. They are from the Kohl's Vera Wang Collection, and were on sale. I will have to post a picture once I wear them. They are the sexiest black platform heels ever. They are like 4 3/4 tall. I feel like an amazon woman in them...but I love them so freaking bad.

{5.} The last thought leads me to this thought: I need these shoes for a wedding. On Saturday. I am going to Florida for it on Thursday. I get to see Lar get married. I get to chill with her AND Ashton. I am beyond excited! Watch out Flo-rida...here comes California!

i am thankful {2.}...

Last year I did a post in December...about Thanksgiving. In case you all are not aware, Thanksgiving is in November. I was a slacker. However, it is only three days after The Day of Thanks and I am blogging about it! Goooooo me! My turkey day post from last year, is one of my all time favorite posts. I am doing it the same way this year. Ready for a picture explosion? Enjoy...

I am thankful for being able to spend an enormous amount of time with two of my favorite ladies. My mama and Bug are the loves of my life...

I am thankful Bug is awesome. I have no idea where she learned all of her awesome ways...

Oh, wait...

I am thankful for my future sister-in-law, Bastina Balicious. She never fails to give me a stellar Thanksgiving photo op. Once again I refer to last years t-day post. Bastina's gangsta pic is priceless...

I am thankful for my grandpa. He is my one card carrying democrat family member. If it were not for him, I would be the lone voice of reason and sanity at the dinner table...

I am thankful Bug has her Grandpa the Great and Marylou to love on her and spoil her. That girl deserves all the love in the world...

Like I said, this girl deserves all the love in the world...

Remember what I said about stellar photo ops? Yep. Case and point...

I am thankful I have someone to save my favorite childhood clothing items for. Yep. I did rock a leather cowgirl jacket WITH fringe in my day. So epic...

I am thankful I have a mama who is a skilled seamstress. See that super cute hounds tooth cardi I am wearing? Yeah. That is a Mama Made couture creation. Love it with me folks...

I am thankful that I snapped this picture of sheer glory. I have zero clue what happened to cause these facial expressions on my family member's faces, but I thank the Gods of Awkwardness for it...

I am thankful that they are not mouth breathing while playing the Wii. It seems to be a habit of theirs...

I am thankful that Jordan is being schooled in the ways of knitting. By 'schooled' I mean driving Christina crazy by asking her what every single thing in that bag is. I am also thankful she put ALL of Bastina's knitting tools back where they belong. That could have been a nuclear meltdown had something gone missing...

I am thankful that Bastina snapped this gem. What can I say? My mom makes really good chocolate cream pie...

I am thankful for my loved ones. Plain and simple. What are YOU most thankful for?

psbtw, new creations are in the Mama Made Shoppe!

must have monday {6.}...

One trend that I am all about right now is the ginormous chunky rings. They pretty much own my heart...even if they are intense and can sometimes get in the way. I am starting quite the collection and I am loving it! Basically this post is to woo all of you over to the dark side! So far my huge ring collection consists of these gems...

{part of ring wearing awesomeness is having fierce painted nails. love this polish. love this color.}
