WIP Wednesday

Did I mention that I recently finished reading a book?

I hate reading. I have loved all 3 Twilight books though, surprisingly enough. I think everyone who has read them says that though. I should also say that I'm pretty sure Eclipse holds the record for the longest book I've ever read (and finished or not sparknoted). So I know I'm in for a treat when I start Breaking Dawn.

So anyways, I won tickets to the midnight premiere on the radio. Funny story about that, I normally don't listen to the station I won from so the one and only time I called & tried to win these tickets is the time I won! :) I took my friend Amanda. I've known her since forever, but we haven't seen each other in awhile... like a year or more. It was great to hang out and have a totally girly {teeny-bopper!} time. Her mom even watched Devin for us to go - I was NOT expecting that and she offered and was more than happy to do it!

We got in line at a little after 9 and we were wrapped around the building. Like, the end of the line. I think it was playing 6 or 7 shows and the lines were seperated for which theater. Our line got to go sit first. The movie was reaaalllly good! Totally worth coming to work on 3 hours of sleep for! My alarm went off this morning and I contemplated calling in for too long, LOL! My boss knew I was going, so I doubt she'd've minded, but I'm tough and I'm also going to bed waaayyy early tonight. Like, as soon as pipsqueak falls asleep!

"Smiling" & crossing his ankles.

I just remembered something I haven't talked about here yet. Rob quit M&J and is now on the road. The driving is temporary, easy cash. He is in Mississippi at the moment and heading back this way this morning. This is his 2nd trip down, he's doing it with his friend, for the friend's dad. They're getting FEMA trailers (the RV kind) and bringing them up to the reservation. I'm not 100%, but I believe they're for housing. The last trip took 5.5/6 days. This one should be 4.5/5 days. They had a whole crew last time and this time, it's just Rob & Bo, who know what they're doing and don't need to sleep every 6 hours. It's been interesting for us not having Daddy around. Last week Lex was there to help, but this week, I'm on my own. It's only Wednesday and we've been very busy this week already! Of course there was last night, and then Monday night, my mom & sister came to town to meet my mom's cousin from Tennessee and we were busy with that until way past Devin's bedtime!

Blah, ok, this is getting long and I still haven't gotten to my WIP's. I have 2 now. I haven't worked much on the orange 'thing' which will be revealed when it's finished and I started a 'spur of the moment, we're at the fabric/yarn store & lexi found a free pattern of something she wanted & I had yarn' project. It's yoga socks and they're obviously waaaayyy smaller than the orange one, so that's nice. Gives my eyeballs some different colors to look at. Here are my projects balled up on the desk. It's the best I can do for now, since I'm not at home..

Happy Humpday!

my buddy

Being very cute earlier today.
He loves his new booster chair from grandma!

Finally

Ok, I think I've got my blog where I want it (for now) finally!

And I did this without thinking, but while I was working on it I had to leave it messed up, so I 'went private' and now I'm unprivate, and I think blogger makes that to mean my followers have to delete me and re-add me. Hopefully not, but I think so.

Happy Friday!

WIP Wednesday

Ohh, my very first blog WIP Wednesday. I don't know whether I'll do it every Wednesday, or just when I happen to have time/think of it. I'm loving what I'm working on right now and I want to show off my progress. It's my blog and I can if I want to. =)

Ok, now story time. I was home for lunch today and Devin wasn't dressed yet, so I decided it was a good time to put on his new M&M shirt that Auntie Chrissy brought back from Las Vegas. I tried so hard to get a picture that wasn't blurry of him modeling. Eventually he sat down & I told him to smile. This is what we got before he got right back up again:

LOL he looks like he's in pain! I promise this is what he thinks is smiling. Plus even this one's a bit blurry, but better than the others LOL.

Here's a picture Leighton's mom just texted me today:

Twins, right? I mean Devin is totally going to be identical in 3 years. Crazy.

And guess what else! I won tickets to the Eclipse midnight premiere from the radio station on Monday. YAY! So that means the movie is on like Tuesday night, really really late, right? I'm so out of the loop!

We have a problem.

Someone please agree with me that this is pathetic!

It's my arms. All of them. They're two completely different colors! ACK!

Yes, to answer your question, I took these pictures when nobody was around. And yes, to answer your other question, it is hard to take a picture of both of your arms without a timer! It only took my 5 tries though, to get two seperate pictures of both my arms. I put them opposite ways in each picture, and in both my left is definitely wayyy darker. WTF is up with my car not having AC?

The other thing is that, today would be the perfect day to go swimming with Auntie Lexi & Devin after work. We have a pool at our apartment after all. Free to use.

Because, that's us. Residents. But, take a closer look and you will see that this is as close as we can get to that water.

Waaaah!

Auntie is here!

I'm supposed to be on a low-soda diet. Meaning, QUIT soda! I just can't! Today my hands & ankles feel swollen and I know it's because I drank diet coke (the enemy) last night. Also, I'm plus 7 lbs, which I know will go away with a day of lots of water. Usually I'm really good about balancing it out if I do drink some soda, but weekends are even lazy in that department. Also, my face won't stop breaking out. I've never had this problem before, I'm gross and I hate having pimples all over my face! Ok, they're mostly containted to my chin/mouth area. That's not any better..

Yesterday we went to Applebees for Rob's Father's Day dinner and he got a certificate for a free entree next time we go. I snapped this picture on the way in. And we were actually walking so I missed and cut off Rob's head. Trust me, he'd rather it be that way, he hates pictures anyway.

Look at them in their matching khaki shorts!

Love.it!

Other newsworthy events, Auntie Lexi is staying with us this week. My daycare is moving (within proximity) this week so, we needed someone to take our goober while we work. Lexi is Devin's favorite aunt! Me and him drove halfway to meet her and mom (since she doesn't have her license yet) and Mom got out of the car to say hi to him, then when he saw Lexi he ignored grandma and got really excited about Lexi LOL.

He acted like a little show-off the rest of the night too. Like in the car, OMG came on the radio and he started in on the Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, we laughed so hard! I got a video I'll try posting maybe tomorrow of the end of him doing it. When we got home, he brought out all his coolest toys to show her. Of course showing off his walking skills, he made about 20 laps around the kitchen, since our kitchen, entryway, and hallway/livingroom are the perfect place for laps.

uh oh

Found a project. And some yarn.

I hope it doesn't take as long as I think it's going to.

Now I have 2 things on needles - which seems to make me anxious lol.

Oh yea, and that seventh game of the final series is on tonight. 3-3, so whoever wins this game wins and basketball is over until next season. My brother is coming over to watch with us. I'm guessing it's going to be an intense game. I just wish I cared.

Plus, check it out:

He's a pro now.
