Recap and Random Funnies...

Well the weekend is almost over, 
how was yours?

I worked for my hubby last night at the restaurant and made $47 (only), 
it was a slooooow night BUT...
that gave me a bit of play money for today.

Today my brother came and watched the lil one, 
so I took my oldest to Michael's craft store for a Canvas Painting workshop.
We had a nice time together;
we kept agreeing how quiet our car ride was without chatty lil brother;)

Here he is working on his canvases; he was spelling out his name...


He painted them gold, red and black.
Then painted a letter of his name on each,
then we added some Outer Space stickers to the canvases.
We will be using these as decor in his newly "remodeled" bedroom; here in a month or so.


.......................................

To show you an update of my weight loss journey,
I had my photographer  oldest son, take a few pics of me...
My hair has a shadow above it, 
its not usually that afro-ish on the top, lol!


Lil buddy had to pose with me...
sheesh, we should have had clean up time before I took these pics, lol!!
Toys r everywhere!!


31 pounds down and MORE to go!
Just wish I could lose that TUMMY and more meat from my thighs:(

But at least I can take a pretty good headshot (LOL!!)...



.............................................

Here is my random funny...
after a rough emotional PMS filled week,
I've been feeling "romantic"  "loving"! 
Haha!

So...
I'm sitting here listening to my hubby fart SO LOUD as he watches TV!!
Yep, looks like I'm going to bed ALONE here tonite!!
(Sorry just HAD to go there!!)

Please tell me I'm NOT the ONLY one who goes through this??

Like I said, I KEEP it REAL!!
Its just ME! LOL ♥

Seriously?!?


Seriously??
Old Navy: What the HELL are you thinking?

ROMPERS?
In horizontal stripes??
OMG!!!
And they are $24.50; on sale for $20!!

The first line of the description for these on Old Navy's website is:
"Come and knock on our door... we have a romper waiting for you..."
LMAO! (but not in a good way!)
Ok, here's the deal...
Loved Three's Company... funny show!
Chrissy was a ding-bat and Jack was a big ole perv!
But to bring back a romper, yet a striped one...
WHY?


Not many people could pull off this look and the SAD thing is,
people WILL TRY to pull off this look!

Wonder what Stacey and Clinton from What Not to Wear would think of this striped romper?



I am sure that at one point in time,
these rompers were quite fashionable...
not knocking anyone who wore them either.
But this one above is BY FAR,
the UGLIEST piece of clothing I've seen for the Spring.

Old Navy... I am disappointed in ya:(

**Now that my sides hurt from immense laughter, I am going to bed!**

P.S. Sweet dreams you secret "Wanna wear one of those striped rompers" people... LOL!!
