Happy Birthday Superman!

Happy 34th birthday my Love!

I've known you now for 16 years. Thank goodness we're you're not as immature as we you were way back then!

I love how much you love me and the kids and aren't afraid to show it, how hard you work so I can stay home, how you make me laugh daily, how you help Princess with her math because even 3rd grade math is beyond my mental capacity.

I love how you make time to play video games with Little Dude, and even though Peanut is growing up and it's awkward for you, I love that you care and want to still find ways to connect with her.

I love that you are my best friend, that we usually finish each others sentences, that we laugh together so easily and that it's even okay to just be quiet. I love that we have the same taste in movies, and that you suffer through my reality shows. Even though I think you get hooked on them too!

I love that we make each other smile.

I love that you comfort me when a haircut doesn't turn out quite right. I love your compassion for others and that you lead this family in a Godly way.

I love that you still give me butterflies in my stomach. I love that you're mine.

Happy 34th birthday my Superman! I heart you.

(to everyone else: get over the fact that this was super mushy and just wish him a happy birthday! And a big happy birthday to Erin today too!)

Not Me Monday

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

You might have noticed I've been moving some things around on here. Or not. I see how you are (don't hold a grudge, Ace). Things might not look a little funny for a bit. Just bare with me. I haven't been getting really tired of my layout and look so I'm not preparing to change things up a little. I can't wait to have a fresh feel on here!

I didn't go on the hunt for foundation a couple weeks ago. I hate liquid foundation and use the cream kind in a compact, but 2 places haven't stopped selling my favorite! I finally found some somewhere else, but wondered why I looked so pale when I used it. I didn't get the #30 mixed up with #80 and buy a completely different shade. I don't look slightly sick when I wear it but at $12 each I'm not using it up before I go buy more!

I don't have a terrible memory. If I think of something I need to pick up at the store I must write it down immediately or it's gone for good. I'm running to the store today and yesterday it hit me all of a sudden that I needed to pick something up. I didn't forget to write it down and was left wondering all day what it was I needed. Fast forward to last night. As I was getting a bottle of water out of the fridge I bumped the coffee (we keep it in the fridge for freshness). The whole thing didn't fall, hit the floor and pour out all over place. But before we cleaned it up, it didn't hit me that our coffee was low and that's what we needed! We weren't left with just enough for this morning after it dumped out!

Saturday Cell Phone Mosaic

Happy Saturday! What a nice day! Actually, it's been a great weekend altogether so far!

We slept in this morning. I set my alarm for 9am because we wanted to sleep in but not waste the day. Apparently my body wasn't ready at 9am because I turned my alarm off in my sleep and woke up at 10am! No big whoop, felt great to sleep that late!

We just kind of lounged most of the day. Superman really needed to just veg after working last weekend, it was like he worked 2 weeks without a break. We popped a movie in and just relaxed. Superman ended up napping through most of it and I did too for about 45 seconds. Literally. For some reason, Little Dude feels the need to either repeat lines from a movie or say something about each scene. Every.Movie. So I dozed off and approximately 45 seconds later woke up to Little Dude standing right in front of me repeating something from the movie. So I laid there for another 30-45 minutes trying my hardest to doze back off and just couldn't.

After that we got up and headed out. Superman's birthday is Tuesday but we like to do birthday weekends instead! He got his presents last night, he'll get his birthday apple pie on Tuesday and tonight we took him out to Buffalo Wild Wings! YUM. We had a great time playing trivia and had some yummy food!

And here we are, full bellies and watching Little Dude's movie choice; Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark. (He must be tired because he's not talking as much through this one!)

Healthy Friday

Happy Friday!

Would you believe I don't have much to say today? Friday's are usually my longest post but today I just don't have much.

I got back into EA Sports Active this week. I'm still not enjoying the 30 day challenge but I'm motivated by getting the trophies. My competitive side came out when Superman and I were talking about what trophies we had and I'm now determined to have more than him! I guess that's good, considering I've worked out more than an hour a day since then. I can't really move my arms but it feels great knowing I've worked them this week!

Would you believe I don't even have a recipe today? I don't know what happened this week. I usually try to make at least one new recipe each week. I'm pretty sure I was stressed early in the week with the kids home and I don't know where the days have gone since they went back. So this week's dinners were old reliables; tacos, spaghetti, nothing exciting. Next week will be better!

So, are you joining me for Saturday Cell Phone Mosaic this weekend? Say yes.

I guess that's it! I can't believe how short this is for a Friday. Maybe because I'm thinking about running my errands and working out. Errands that include going to Target to see if they have the cute shoes Erin bought! I'm excited about having Superman home this weekend and football! Remember just because I'm originally from Indiana doesn't mean I have to like the Colts. I actually hate them... so Go Saints! Or as Kimber says, WHO DAT?! (yeah, as much as we'll be cheering for the Saints, I have a horrible feeling we know who will win.)

Hope you have a great Friday and happy weekend!
