So What!

So What Wednesday

It's been awhile since I've linked up for a SWW, and I'm feeling the need to brain dump, so hold on tight!

So What! if:

-Jeremy and I are almost into the 3rd season of our Dawson's Creek marathon. We've been considering offing the cable for awhile now but can never pull the trigger. I think the fact that we haven't watched one bit of cable television for a month is a sure sign that it's time for it to go.

-If the theme song for DC doesn't change soon, I may go crazy.

-I'm a little angered by the fact that I had NO idea that 90210 was ending. I have ONE more episode left, ONE. I at least feel a little prepared to say goodbye to The Office, but I had NO idea until this week that 90210 was done.

-My brain is apparently all TV related today.

-Henry still isn't talking. I sincerely believe that he just doesn't want to. He understands and responds to everything we say, can point out just about every object in his 'first 100 words' book, and jibber jabbers like a fool. He'll talk when he's ready and I don't think it's an issue yet.

-It's 8 a.m. and we have to leave for a funeral in an hour but I'm writing this blog and the boys are still in bed.  Better late than never, right?

-My ankle is still not better. I don't know what to do about it. I fear that The Color Run is going to be out of the question if it doesn't start getting better soon.

-I am nervous about going to the gym. I made a commitment for a 'gym night' with one of my good friends. I always feel like people look and stare at the 'fat girl' when I go public places to work out.

-I've sucked on my diet lately, but I haven't really gained any weight back. It's no excuse, but life has been hectic. I promise to get back on track 100% by the end of this week.

-There's pretty much no food in our house and we've been eating whatever we can come up with. Perhaps I'll go to the dreaded grocery later today.

-I bought my own mother's day gift. I called Jeremy and told him that I was doing so, because I knew what I wanted and I didn't want him to have to try to think something up at the last minute. I am now the proud owner of a pretty new watch. Thanks hunnie. =)

So What!

It's Wednesday which means it's time to link up with Shannon for another edition of So What!
So What Wednesday
This week I'm say So What! if:
-I'm dreading work this weekend and it's only Wednesday. With my ankle being hurt and Easter and vacation time being so close, the last place I want to be is work.
-I bought the dress from this post instead of buying an outfit (which probably would have been more feasible) because I just simply love it. It's heavier than what I imagined so it's probably going to be useless to take to Florida, but it will make a great Easter dress...and I just love it. So there.
-I have the cutest kid ever. You don't have to agree, but I'm one of those moms that sincerely believe it.
Proof! Isn't his Easter outfit adorbs?
-Apparently Tori Spelling and I have similar tastes in kid's clothing as this is the 3rd 'dressy' outfit I've bought for Henry that she's designed. I'd never have guessed. Seriously.

-We had pizza last night for dinner because the day was just so busy and we didn't even converge together in the living room until 9 p.m to decide what to do for dinner.

-Said pizza wasn't paid for by us. We were doing Jeremy's parent's a favor and they repaid us with dinner. Win-win. (We did agree that this would replace out pizza night on Friday.)

-I have seriously neglected my camera lately, and as of right now, I have zero ideas as to what to do for Henry's Easter photos. Winter + photography = BA-HUM-BUG!

-I'm a little annoyed that today is the first day of spring and yet it still looks like winter outside. 1) I think the groundhog was a bit tipsy this year and 2) I believe we had 70 degree weather this time last year. Where is my spring time!?!

So What!

So What Wednesday

It's Wednesday which means it's time to link up with Shannon for another SWW! 

So What! if...

-I'm posting this at 9 p.m. Life has just been busy lately.

-I bought Henry red skinny jeans today knowing that Jeremy would absolutely hate them. He'll look stinkin' adorable in them and I can't wait to put them on him.

-There are days that I feel moments away from a break-down. I carry some heavy baggage.

-I have about 6 projects started that I need to finish and some of them I need to finish NOW because I was hoping to sell them for Easter baskets. I swear I need a full-time nanny and maid in order to get anything else accomplished anymore.

-Henry went pee on his potty every single day, some times two or three times a day for a 5 day period and now he just won't go. The kid likes to mess with my head.

-I change my mind weekly about whether or not I'd like to have a girl one day. Girls are great and all and I quite like being female myself, but I just don't see myself being a good 'girl' mom.

-I'm too hard on myself. There, I said it.

-I want to watch this week's episode of The Bachelor so bad but I'm trying to save it until Henry's nap tomorrow so I can just sit down, watch what I want to watch and relax for a couple of hours.

-I only go to Kroger when I have a handful of 'free' coupons that are about to expire. I don't know why but I hate Kroger. I'll do my shopping at Meijer, thank you.

-You do not want to get me started about my hatred for Wal-Mart.

-This SWW could go on and on and on and on. I think I'll just stop while I'm ahead.

So What!


I'm linking up with Shannon over at Life After I 'Dew' for another So What Wednesday. This week I'm saying So What! that:

-I went to the grocery yesterday and bought everything to make homemade cake and icing and forgot cupcake liners...and I really want to make cupcakes and not a cake. I guess we'll be making another trip to town in a bit.

-My entire body hurts from all the work I've been doing the last week or so. I swear I haven't stopped.

-I think Jeremy is going to flip a little when he realizes that having Henry's room carpeted is going to be a little more expensive than he thought.

-I already proved Jeremy wrong once with the carpet when he was so SURE that Henry's room was no larger than a 12x12. I'm the one that's worked in it for the last year, I think I would know better. And yes, I was still of with my guess of 15x15 but I was closer than he was so HA! (It's a 14x14)

-I had my heart set on a carpet that came in a 12' roll but I think I'm going to change my mind to keep from having so much waste and a seam and find one that's a 15'. *SIGH*

-My bestest is stopping by who I haven't seen in months today and I am giddy like a girl who just got kissed for the first time!

-I cannot wait to sit here and watch all the episodes of The Bachelor that I missed. Let's just say that I am super impatient and looked ahead to see who wins and I CANNOT wait (SPOILER ALERT) for Tierra to be sent home. The girl is messed up.

-I'm thinking of dying my hair, something that I haven't done for...7 years? I'm thinking just adding highlights, especially since I think I've decided to grow it out again. (Don't worry, I'll change my mind tomorrow.)

-I miss my grandmother this week. There, I said it. We went and seen her for a few hours last night but it's just not enough. This week is just busy and I'm not going to be able to put in the time that I usually do.

-Henry made out like a thief for Valentine's day. Since when does having a kid make you invisible? Where's MY Valentine candy, cards and stuffed animals?!

So What!

So What Wednesday

It's been a little while since I linked up for a SWW, but I'm trying to get back into the swing of things and SWW is a good way to do that (how many times have I said that?). So this week I'm saying So What! if:

- I have done little to nothing since Christmas. I've gotten by with the bare minimum lately and I'm totally okay with that.

- I'm already overwhelmed with the amount of things on my 'to do' list for 2013. I kept my resolutions to a minimum, but my to-do list is at least a mile long. I have an entire year though, right?

- I can't think of a single place that I REALLY want to go on vacation in the next month or so. I know it should be warm (and with sand).

- I've ate like a pig since Christmas. We've had leftovers on top of leftovers and I made way, wayyy too much food. It's been delicious though, it's stuff that we don't eat really for the rest of the year.

- I hate tv more and more everyday. It's so boring and most of it is just trash anyway. There's still a couple of shows that I love, but even they don't hold my complete interest.

- I have spoiled myself with borrowing books from the library on my phone and they changed the app and the way things work and it's made me soooo angry. You now have to read the books in your browser, which is nearly impossible. I guess I'll have to either buy a Kindle or start going back to the library again.

- I'm super optimistic about this month. For a particular reason. That I am not sharing right now.  ;)

So What!

So What Wednesday

So What! if...

-I spent half of the day getting ready for a date with my husband (the first we've had since Henry was born) and his mom ended up in the hospital and we didn't get to go. Whatever, I was the hottest thing sitting in the ER last night.

-My weeks have been packed lately. Like...howintheworldamI'mgoingtofindtimetobreathe full.

-This is only the second blog post I've published in a couple of weeks. Like I said: busy.

-I am OVERLY excited for Christmas this year. I somehow convinced BOTH sides of my family that it was a great idea to have Christmas at my house this year and I literally cannot wait. I may already have my Christmas tree up...

-I am ready for snow. Call me crazy but I can't wait to take Henry out and play in it. Not to mention, it made for the cutest pictures last year.

Have some proof:




-I have turned down almost every photo session opportunity lately. I just don't have time right now and while I appreciate the business, I still have sessions sitting on my computer from a month ago that need edited that I did for a good friend so (luckily) I don't have to be in a big rush to get them done.

-Mentioning photo sessions, I told my husband after the last TWO weddings that I did that I didn't want to do weddings anymore, that they were too stressful and that I just didn't see me being able to do them myself.

-I've taken on three weddings already next year. Fail.

-I plan on dressing Henry in the same clothes he wore yesterday. Cause they're cute. And he didn't wear them for long.

-There are only 4 weeks left of Jeremy's schooling and we've hit that point where apparently teachers think that they haven't been giving you enough homework, lessons, tests, papers, etc... and I'm feeling overwhelmed. Last week I wrote a six page essay, a twelve page research paper (and did all the research), took two tests, one quiz and read over 500 pages of material in ADDITION to the normal work I had been doing. Shoot me, please.

-I feel like I could go on and on with this list, but I have another list (the dreaded to-do list) that is a mile long  and it's calling my name.

Happy hump day!

So What!

So What Wednesday
 
 
Alright pretties, it's Wednesday which means it's time for another session of So What! Wednesday. Click on the perty picture above to head over to Shannon's blog and link up! (All the cool kids are doing it!)
 
This week I'm saying So What! if...
 
- I'm hijacking my husband's computer to blog. I don't know why; we've been out three times now to look at computers and my husband has pressed me each time just to pick one out that I like. Each time I've said, "Let me think about it." I think I'm enjoying life without the ease of a computer too much. Plus - I'm cheap. I'm having a hard time spending that much money on myself.
 
- I am a nervous willy. I hate how nervous and anxious I've become with a little bit of age. What happened to the fearless girl that I used to be? For example: last night we went and met a guy at 11 p.m. about a car that my husband was interested in buying bought. (My husband buys a LOT of cars.)It was so late because my husband works first shift and he worked second so it was the only time the two could converse. Anyway, we met him in a church parking lot in a little town outside of Troy so that we could follow him to his house. The entire time that I was sitting in that parking lot (I drove, I always drive.) I was silently freaking out. I wondered if the church could be haunted, if the neighbors were nice, what we would do if someone came by and tried to rob us (in a little town outside of Troy? HIGHLY unlikely), were we trespassing, what if someone called the police? When we got to the guys house, I freaked out then too. What if this guy brought us out here to rob us (at his huge house, with a huge 12 car barn and enough acreage for my entire family to build on. Again: HIGHLY unlikely), to kill us, to fulfill some sick fantasy of his? What if no one ever found us out in the middle of no where? I never show how nervous and anxious I am, but I seriously freak out inside. I made my husband take his gun - and you can bet your bottom dollar that I had that sucker loaded and ready in the passenger seat of the car. This Mama knows how to be prepared.
 
- I totally thought I was pregnant this month. I still don't know if I am or not. But I somehow got dates messed up and was thinking earlier this week that I was days late when I was still a week off from even knowing. Fail.
 
- It's freezing in my house and we can't turn the heat on because my lovely son figured out how to yank the floor vent up and threw a bunch of things (we have no idea what) down it. So now we've got to somehow clean out the vents. Don't worry, we will be freezing our butts off here in a month wishing we can turn on the heat before that happens.
 
- We are having the house measured for siding tomorrow. I am truly scared to death to see that number. I may flip. Like literally have a small conniption fit. Don't worry, my husband will end up adding that to his to-do list too when he sees how much it's going to cost to have someone else put it up.
 
- I'm starving because we skipped dinner last night and all I want is some damn Hamburger Helper. I don't know why! Early pregnancy craving?
 
- I'm still sick. That's one full week of being stuffed up and sick of not being able to breath. I'm sure it has nothing to do with my freezing...or not eating. Early pregnancy getting the immune system down? (Bahaha... I'm so glad my husband doesn't read this!)

So What!


It's Wednesday! This week I'm saying So What! if:

-I'm already counting down the days until I can take a pg test. Ya, I know I'm crazy but I want another baby and I want another baby now.

-I'm having second thoughts about decorating Henry's room for that very reason. A big part of me hopes that we will have another boy and I can deck out the room for two instead of one.

-I spent pretty much the entire day cuddled up on the couch with Little Bit yesterday. Neither one of us felt good and it just seemed like a good idea.

-I have a to-do list today that's a mile long. Sometimes I set myself up for failure.

-I totally enjoyed the last few rainy days.

-I'm considering throwing the dishes into the dishwasher, although every time I do I tell myself I'm not going to do it again. I hate doing dishes and there's a sink full.

-I have a couple of bills floating around my purse that I needed to pay like a week ago but I ran out of stamps. I should get on that.

What are you saying So What! to this week?

So What!

It's Wednesday and you know what that means! This week I'm saying So What! if...


-I'm flippin' sick of my body being out of whack from my pregnancy with Henry. Enough is enough! I'd like to be able to look at a calendar again and know when things are going to be happening.

-Not being able to predict things that are going on with my body is probably a huge reason why I'm not yet prego with numero 2.

-I may be absolutely determined to change that this month. My husband is going to either be the happiest man alive or ask me to sleep upstairs by the time I'm done with him.

-I quit counting a future pregnancy as 9 months. Mine will be 8, I know this for a fact. (Baby fever anyone? Sheesh, I'm annoying myself.)

-I brought home an entire bag of fall decorations yesterday from The Flower Factory and I fully intend on using them as soon as possible. I don't care if the temperature has been in the 90's again. Maybe if we all just go ahead and decorate for fall, it will come and stay until we decide to decorate for Christmas. (Wouldn't that be nice?)

-I've become slightly obsessed with owls over the past couple of years. Well, owls and birds and decorative bird cages. I bought two bird cages yesterday, an owl and two crow's for decorations and had to say no to a slew of others. Hi I'm Jenn, and I may have a problem.

-I've stuck to my to-do list all week fervently but that's going to change today. I need to go to the grocery and of course, Little Bit and I will need to eat through out the day. But that's about the extent of what I plan to do. I have shows to watch and a nap to take.

-I haven't really picked up my camera and taken any photos of Henry in like a month. I haven't even thought about my mini-sessions and I just don't feel it right now.

-I sat down at my computer and thought, "Man, I don't think I have anything to say 'So What!' to this week."

HA! Ha ha ha ha HA!

So What!

I'm linking up with Shannon over at Life After I 'Dew' for this week's SWW! This week I'm saying So What if:
-I acted like an immature middle school kid this week and got in a fight with my best friend over something that was really stupid when it came down to it. Don't worry, we made up - as best friends always do.

-I let Henry tear every last item out of my purse/diaper bag about 10 minutes ago. I needed to clean it out anyway and it entertained him for five minutes and that five minutes of peace was almost worth it.

-Jeremy went to work today with a dirty shirt on. I did all the laundry on Saturday. It's not my fault that his laundry wasn't in the laundry basket instead of being all over the house and therefore didn't get washed.

-I've had to reschedule two photo-shoots in the past two weeks. Everything is fighting against me right now but it can bring it cause - I got this.

-I can't wait to decorate for fall. I may like decorating for fall more than decorating for Christmas (for shame, I know) and this weather has just been sooo fall-like. I'm having a hard time convincing myself that it's August and not October.

-I may or may not plan on spending my entire morning watching my shows and then throwing clothes on at the last minute to run to town to have lunch with Jeremy like I promised. Shh...don't tell.

Wednesday, August 15, 2012

So What!

After watching Stephanie over at And Baby Makes 10 join Shannon over at Life After I 'Dew' every Wednesday to say So What to lists upon lists of things, I began to think that this may actually be a great stress-relieving activity. I mean, how often do we just want to say So What to those things that we usually beat ourselves up about? So I've finally decided to join them! So here goes, my first SWW post!

So What! if this week:

-I've yet to do the dishes. Seriously there's a sink full and I swore that I wasn't going to just throw them in the dishwasher this week because it needs cleaned and everything comes out with a nasty white film on it and wouldn't you believe that I went to the grocery today and forgot to buy cleaner for it. They'll get done... eventually.

-I was a complete jerk to a girl yesterday who was persistently trying to convince me (knowing that I'm a photog) to bring my son into the studio she works at to get a 'free 5x7'. I've worked in a studio, I know how free stuff works and I straight told her - I can take his pictures myself without getting pestered for an hour to buy crappy, uncreative photos for WAY too much money.

-I'm totally jealous of my husband right now. My brother is buying his truck and he's researching new vehicles and although I think I've convinced him to go with an SUV type vehicle of some sort instead of a new truck, I want a new vehicle. Yeah, I could sell mine but I wouldn't get a whole lot out of it and it really is a good car so it just doesn't make sense. I'll just suck it up, or pretend to anyway.

-I just put in three more requests for days off at work. Yeah, I only work a total of 20 hours a week and I did just get back from a two week vacation, but I swear everything happens when I'm suppose to be at work and I just refuse to miss everything anymore. I really just work so we can have insurance and I'm pretty much the lowest guy on the totem pole so they can learn to survive without me!

-I just noticed that like a bazillion people linked up over at 'Life After I 'Dew'' for SWW is names 'Jenn'. Okay, maybe only like 3 or 4 but seriously? That's my name!

What are you guys saying So What! to this week? Link up with all of us girls over at Life After I 'Dew' and come back next week for another week of So Whats!
