Daffodils

Last year we started noticing growth coming up around our patio outside our apartment. WE had no idea what the heck was growing, but within a month or so, we saw what it was... DAFFODILS! And so every year they come up and make my patio the prettiest patio in the complex (everyone should be jealous). There are lots of pretty flowers on them and I quite enjoy having them when I sit outside (cause it's totally warm enough to do that now, woot!).

RIP Dear Brush

After waking up from an afternoon nap, I went to brush my hair. And this is what I found on my bathroom floor. It looks like I'm going to have to invest in another hair brush. I'm a bit sad about this. I've had this brush for years and it's been very good to me. It was my most favorite brush I ever had. So I say a fond farewell to my dear brush.

Easter Lily

My visiting teacher brought me over this lovely flower today. She knows I've been having a hard week or two and was thinking of me. It's an Easter Lily, which is perfect for the upcoming holiday. It smells wonderful and it's awesome to have a plant in the house. I'm not quite though where I want to put it. For now it's going to hang out on my coffee table.

Wall Hangin'

These are the paintings I made that are now hung up in my bedroom. Cute, I know. I'll put up pictures soon of my actual bedroom and these on the wall. But here's a good pic of all three of them close together. I think they're super fun.

Excuse Me Yellow

So the other day I was feeling a little bit down. So on my trip out of the house (I really needed to leave the apartment... it had been a few days) I went to the walsmart. I was in search of the perfect shade of purple nail polish, which I never ended up finding, there was none that I was in love with. But while there I saw this... the most amazing shade of yellow nail polish I have ever seen in my life. It's the color of that Lighting Lemonade gum from Bubbalicious that I used to love to much. This picture doesn't quite show the awesomeness of this shade. They had a whole line of this stuff, but only the blue was there (and this was the last yellow), but I'm thinking they're all going to be super fun colors. So I may have to go back and see if they have more that I just can't live without. Oh, and it's called "Excuse Me", by the Pure Ice people.

Dates and Goals

Jameson and I went on a date tonight. We went to Fazoli's and then saw the Blind Side. Now, I know it's already out on video, but you really can't be the dollar theater, which is actually back down to a dollar (because of the economy they say). We were originally going to see Sherlock Holmes, but alas, it was sold out. Anyway, really good movie. One of those feel good kind. And I'm really not into sport movies, but this one had hardly any football game scenes, one I think. Also a practice scene. So with all that lack of football, I really liked it. I get bored when they show me game after game (remember the titans anyone?) (or any of the mighty duck movies?). I mean, I'm sure there's a point.... soooo boring though. Point being, I had a good night out with my husband. I've been thinking lately and I decided I should probably get in as many dates as we can before we actually have kids and don't have the opportunity to. So I'm going to try and make a goal to go and do cool things and have lots of fun while we still can. I'm never going to be this young and carefree ever again, so I should get carefree. Next weekend we're going camping. I LOVE camping. We're just going to Cuivre River this time. But when it warms up enough to go in the water, I'm going down to Johnson's Shut-ins, which is close to Elephant Rock and Tom Sauk Mountain (the highest point in Missouri), which should be a fun trip. It's the first year the shut-ins have been open since the flood they had a couple of years back, 2007 I think?
Anyway. My goal this week is to get my life back in order. I've really let everything go this past week or two. And I think it's time I start living like a civilized human being again. So first on the agenda (after I finish my book of course) is to clean the apartment. It's filthy, like beyond filthy. We are officially out of silverware, even the big kind that you use to ladle soup and spread butter. It's being pathetic. I think I used to have a coffee table under all that mess. So that is the major goal of this upcoming week. Also to exercise at least 3 times. I will also make dinner and not buy it in a drive thru. These are my goals.
I have also been trying to send photos to my blog from my phone and have been extremely unsuccessful. So hopefully soon you all can see pictures of my amazing new nail polish, which I bought to brighten my day (it's bright yellow).
I think I'm procrastinating doing things I should be, like putting photos on cds and baking rice crispy treats for my primary class tomorrow. Sigh, maybe I'll wake up early and do it. Hooray for Sunday afternoon naps, cause I feel like I'm not going to sleep much tonight. Sometimes it stinks being nocturnal.

New Poll!

As requested... a new poll has been added. This time it has a bit of an Easter theme. So go ahead and vote!

February

Here are some of the pictures taken in the month of February. The weather is starting to warm up... it felt like there might be an end to winter. I'm not ready for summer, but I'm sick of snow and freezing my tushi off. But on cold days, there's always good food to eat.

Jamo and I at El Magueys (we call it "gooeys") Yum. It's one of my favorite mexican restaurants to eat at.

Brad and Holly at Gooeys. Holly is holding up her carne asada (which is pretty much delicious... mmm... again with the food).

Aiden, Aaron and I went to the park one day. It was one of the first nice days of the year. We had a picnic and played for 2 hours (until Aaron was sick of the park... first time ever I think). We played ghost ship/ghostbusters. All the other kids at the park were jealous of our cool games and wanted to join in.

Aiden and Aaron on the swings. I can even sit on that silly green swing. I love the swings!

January

Here are a few pictures. All of these were taken in January. Just hanging out and some of the stuff we did. Yay, super exciting!

Jamo doing what he's best at... passing out on random couches. If you live near, you have probably seen this on your own couch. This is the snuggie sandy made jamo for his birthday.

Me messing with him... it's one of my favorite past-times. He's silly when he sleeps (or wakes up from sleeping).

David on a couch... we're really exciting!

Jamo and I went on a date one night. We went bowling! It had been while and Jamo kept wanting to go. Here you can see my amazing skills. I think one game I broke 100, barely.

Jamo is much better than me. He has this amazing technique... it's called chuck the ball as fast and hard as you can down the lane. He fares okay, always over 100.

These are our pretty pretties. They now like to hang outside the cage. And I can get them to come sit on my finger and play the ladder game, especially Lyra (the blue one). Grahm (the green one) is a little more a.d.d. and doesn't like to sit still and play games. But we haven't cut there wings and have finally learned to fly without crashing into everything. Although, they are still confused about our glass door. They like to try and escape to the outside to go hang with the other birds. I don't think they would survive a day in the outdoors.

We went to KC again for Julie's birthday. This is her at Texas Roadhouse. She got ribs.

Jameson also got ribs. I got a burger, cause that's what I'm good at. Yum. I'm making myself hungry for some good grub.

Jameson making chicken. I think I would be fine never eating chicken ever in my life. Sooooo much chicken that month.
