Brag much? Why yes, yes, I do!

-


There are smiles all around at our house tonight.
My kids get their mother back.
My husband gets his wife back.
My house gets it's slave back.

Why?

Because I'm DONE!
I finished the second half of my course in record time.
When I set out my accelerated 6 week schedule for the second half of my course, I worried that the goal was a pretty lofty one.
So I got started on it right away.
I concentrate, I focused, I ignored friends and family and I dedicated 10-12 hours a day and...
you know what?
I finished the course not in 6 weeks, not 4 weeks, not even 3 weeks..
Nope.
I finished it in ONE!

Oh yeah!!
Yes, I'm bragging, and yes, I'm hurting my shoulder from patting myself on the back, and yes, I'm feeling bullet proof,
Because I did it.
I set a goal...and I blew it out of the water!

That's a first for me.
Honestly.
All through my life I have had a tendency to set unrealistic goals that usually result in failure.
F.A.I.L!!
Not this time!

It feels sooo good!

Now...off to study for the exam (yuck!) but before I start I've got some family to love, some friends to visit with, some peppermint hot chocolate to drink...and some bathrooms, bedrooms and laundry to clean. 

Oh yeah...and maybe buy some food to eat.  Or bake!

Scents and Scents-ability

Before I became a Mommy I was a working girl. And when I was a working girl, I was a GOOD smelling working girl. I had my favorites--Tresor, Poison, Giorgio, Ysatis, Tuscany per Donna, Eternity by Calvin Klein, Perry Ellis and Alfred Sung. I had so many perfumes--and I loved them all! Then I became a Mommy and I did away with all my perfumed-ness. Why? I guess I didn't want my baby to have to breathe all that while s/he was trying to nurse. Perfumed flavored milk? Yucky! And...I never went out so why did I need to smell pretty? Wasn't smelling like breast milk, puke and baby poop enough of a sensory overload? Now I'm two things: Mommy and Working Girl. But I'm not a breastfeeding Mommy so you know what that means... BRING ON THE PERFUME!! The other day I went to the store and I was bowled over by the choices! Givenchy has a million scents now, JLo has like three kinds, and then there's that Ed Hardy guy with the fabulous name-- Christian Audidgi

The earth stood still today. No, it wasn't because the planets were aligned. No, it wasn't because yesterday's date was 10/10/10 (which happens only once every 1000 years) No, it wasn't because the month of October has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays, in it which, according to Facebook (and we know how reliable that is),only happens once every 823 years. No, it was more phenomenal then all of that. It was because I ironed. Sheets. Yes, I actually ironed sheets. Now, you need to understand that I only pick up my iron to move it from one location to another. Typically if something needs ironing one of three things happens: 1. it stays wrinkled 2. it hangs in my closet until gravity pulls the wrinkles out over time 3. I go and buy a new item of clothing. I just don't iron! So why did I do it today, you may ask? It was my front load washer and dryer's fault. It made Kiki's new bedding so wrinkly that I just could not stand to let

Well if this doesn't completely rock your socks then I don't know what will: Taylor Lautner AND Tom Cruise staring in a movie.. together l  And it's about airplanes!   It's TOP GUN all over again people!  I'm just too excited for words. Now, yes, I admit, Tom did crash and burn in my books after the couch incident on Oprah; and after marrying Katie whats-her-name, but all in all, I still like him.  As long as he doesn't open his mouth except to speak his lines in a movie. And Taylor Lautner.  I know, right?  What a beauty!  I don't have a crush or anything on him (puhlease, I could be his MOTHER!) but my eyes do appreciate the view when he's on the screen.  Yes, my eyes, and ONLY my eyes.  Now, as far as crushes go, you need to talk to my daughter.   Taylor adorns practically every inch of her bedroom walls. So, depending on the rating of this movie, I think daughter and mother will go together and both of us will drool.... Age appropriately, o
