Random-ness

Totally random post today. I feel as though I owe it to y'all for reading through my Monday bitch-fest.  So here ya go... some randomness for your Wednesday!

1. Cal just came into the study and said to me, "I be riiiight back, Mommy. I gonna go run a few errands, but I be riiiight back. Okay, mommy? Okay? Okay, Mommy? I be riiiiight back!"
It was awesome.

2. I have done nothing for Andy's birthday.  Seriously, nothing.  I am hosting a party for my mom's 60th (along with several of her friends) the night before the party and I am so set on making her party perfect, that I am not working on Andy's.  It will all come together, I know, but WHEW, I am a hot mess trying to do it all...and do it all well...you know?

3. Back to Cal (who is in his room screaming for me right now: "mommy??? you need me??? I right in here!!!!!")... he has been cracking us up lately saying the funniest things (see number 1).  Andy has also been a trip and acting like he is about to pop from excitement all the time.  We took this video last night in the bath.  It is best to watch it with volume, but it is loud, so maybe not while at work??


I swear, it's like he knows his birthday is approaching and he can hardly stand all the excitement!

4. I pulled up Etsy the other day to attempt to make progress on said birthday party for said one year old, and this shop popped up.  Why do I find this so funny?

Perhaps I am having a hard time accomplishing things for Andy's birthday because I take time looking at outfits like the above and then send out the link to all of my friends with daughters telling them they should seriously consider this outfit combo... yep, it was a time suck, but it made me laugh.

5. Want in on the recipe for the best chocolate chip cookies ever? They are insanely easy...and insanely good.
Betty Crocker Chocolate Chip Cookie bag mix (the oatmeal choc chip ones are bomb too)
1 egg
4 soup spoons full of vegetable oil
Mix it all up, form into 6 balls (can't make more or they aren't as delish)
Bake at 350 for 8-9 minutes
You will thank me. Your waist line might curse me, but your husbands/friends/family will all thank me.  These are the cookies I bake ALL the time for people and I can't even express how easy they are to make (or how often I get requests for them).
The only rule is, you have to tell me when you make them... I like to know when the goodness is going other places!


6.  See this nugget?

That's me... or is it Andy?  hmmmmm......

7. I forgot one more thing that happened on Monday that I left out of my ranting post:
As I was leaving the gym, carrying my bag, my 18 pound water jug (okay, it doesn't weight 18 pounds, but it is heavy-- it holds like, 70 ounces, I think...), my baby, and my 2 year old's hand (while he was jumping up and down), I approached my car, which had a pretty good parking spot.  A car pulled in behind me and put his turn signal on for my spot.  Ummmm.... I would understand this if there were NO other spots in the lot, but I looked down the row and counted 7 other spots...not even 5 yards from my spot! I looked at the guy and he gave me some kind of a wave...I am telling myself it was a take your time wave, but it in all honesty looked like a let's get a move on wave.   I started putting Andy in the car and I was trying to hurry for this a**hole unpleasant man, but then I decided to take my sweet time.  I saw two other cars pull out from my same lane and this guy sat, still waiting for my spot.  Wait, have I mentioned we were at THE GYM??  Isn't the point to get some exercise, chief?  Honest to goodness, y'all! I saw his license plate was from New York...nothing against New Yorkers (except this guy), but I was ready to join him in honking my horn.  But I didn't.  Because a southern gal is nothing but class.  (wink wink)

8. Have y'all read Fifty Shades of Grey? I just started the third one this morning.  Funny story-- I heard so many people talking about this book... it was on the Today Show and all kinds of talk shows.  I bought it on my kindle for our trip out to LA, not having ANY idea what it was about.  Ummmmm.... we were on the flight and Eddie bought the wifi for his phone (twitter-addict). I got about 30 pages in and I asked to borrow his phone so I could google search this book.  I liked the Twilight series, but I did not want to read another book about vampires and I had no idea what the "catch" was with this book... well, the first 10 pages that came up in google all said things like "mommy porn", "erratic read", " S&M romance."
I wanted to stop reading right there, but I couldn't.  I flushed plenty of times on the airplane, that is for sure.  If you aren't aware of the books, they are racy, but actually pretty good, even with/without all the sexiness- haha.  Some parts are just downright raunchy, be forewarned....
In honor of Mother's Day this weekend, I pass this video along to you-- TOO funny!

Video From SNL

9. The Bachelor starts this Monday-- HOLLA!  Can.not.wait.  I am going to have to get some wine for this household. I love "watching" the show with my friends on our facebook group.  It sounds so lame when written out like that, but we all have so much fun together.

10. I just started using some Jergans self tanning lotion.  I used it a ton last year before I had Andy because I wasn't trying to be all pasty while on the operating table and it worked really well... we will see if I have success this year too.  I must shower now so that I can apply some skin darkening goodness to my legs.  It has a funny smell to it though...hmmm...

I told y'all this would be a random mind dump!  And THIS is why I don't get anything done! My mind is racing with all this other mumble jumble stuff!

Have a great Wednesday, y'all!
