It's Tuesday, So You Know What That Means
Found this goody on Pinterest last week and sent it to my oldest sister because....that is totally how we are. I'm pretty sure I was tortured by her my entire childhood and today we are best of friends and seriously, she falls...a lot :)

Rather Pleased
I am rather pleased about a few things this fine Monday morning:
1. As expected, I am thrilled with this weekend's baseball performance by our Cardinals.
I still can't believe we went from being 10 and a 1/2 games out of the Wild Card to winning the National League. Amazing.
This girl is one of those gitty, nervous sports viewers. I can likely be somewhat annoying when my toe tap starts acting up, but I can't help it. I have a competitive side to me that just won't quit sometimes.
And to Brian Anderson and the other douche commentating on the game last night, I hope you cried yourself to sleep. That is what you deserved after the smack talking on my Cardinals the entire series. They deserve to be there. There is no luck involved here. They won and played hard every step of the way. David Freese and the rest of the boys have played some outstanding baseball and I'm hella proud! Until Wednesday....
2. Wine. Always rather pleased about that.
3. And in other news, my house is no longer a chaotic disaster. The house is clean, laundry is done and I'm feeling much better. Vacay recovery always turns what I consider my normal, somewhat organized house into a total tornado.
4. You know what's weird? I have been thinking and laying out in my noggin the awesomeness that will be my laundry room. Searching for inspiration through blogs and Pinterest, I've discovered so many great (and cost conscious) ideas. It needs some serious attention and organization, especially considering this is where I keep Mia's shoes (it works best and keeps the dirty shoes off the carpet). I am excited to get started. I'll be sure to tell you all about it. It may just happen this weekend.
5. My Erin Condren life planner came and I LOVE it. It's providing this schedule-aholic much happiness.
6. Mia's party preparations. I'm so excited to decorate for her party. Halloween is quickly becoming one of my favorite holidays. The cool thing about her party coming the Saturday after Halloween is all the awesome decor I'm going to get at clearance prices. Yeehaw!
7. And what I'm not rather pleased about (totally incorrect grammar and sentence structure)? The fact that I still have not uploaded nor edited any of our Vegas pictures (300 at least). My child is going to bed now about 8:30 and by then I'm pooped. I'm going to try really hard this week cause there's some goodies on there!
What are you rather pleased about today?
Have a WONDERFUL week!

I've Got The Feeeevvvvva!
(yelling)
THE CARDINALS ARE ONLY TWO GAMES AWAY FROM THE WORLD SERIES.
Never in a bazillion, bagillion years did I ever think we would be in the spot after this season, but here we are and these boys are fired up! Last night's game was amazing!
Well, amazing if you like baseball and the excitement of the playoffs.
Next game is tonight and again on home turf. The Wolff house will be roaring once again.
We are very proud of our little baseball fan. She'll jump and cheer, clap and include her own "Woo hoo"s during much of it. I'm just not sure how many almost 2 year olds know their team as soon as they come on the TV.
Well, ours does and we are damn proud of it!
THE END.

Time Together
Well, we officially made it back from Vegas in one piece. What a blast we had! All the surprises were pulled off and my husband officially played all weekend with little care (outside of missing Mia terribly).
We filled every minute of almost every day doing something fun and most importantly together.
It doesn't happen often, it doesn't happen enough, but it never will. We're busy with our lives, our jobs and our schedules. But that's ok. What's important is to realize how important it is to spend time together. Whether it be a long weekend away, a date night or a movie afternoon, it's important to reconnect and reflect on how you got to where you are.
Hubs and I don't do much alone, but on the occasion that we do (i.e. this weekend) it's refreshing, fulfilling and gives you all those dating goosebumps all over again. It's special and romantic.
I just love it and I'm truly in love with him. Sometimes, just sometimes I have to be reminded of just how lucky I am. It's easy to get lost in daily life (and often the negatives) and forget about taking the time to be a couple and not just parents. I'm ok with admitting I need the reminder; I'm just glad I have the opportunity to be reminded.
Happy Hump Day!

Martes Es El Dia De Cotizacion
I'm obsessed with quotes and sayings that help me focus, make me smile, get me to think, etc. So much so that I picked a few of my favorites and included them in my design of my 1/2 bath downstairs.
Last Tuesday, I posted one that made me laugh.
Each Tuesday I'll post another one that I like. And the title will always be in Spanish, because I really wish I could actually speak the language so much that I could make a complete thought. Maybe.someday. And I'm not sure cotizacion is the right noun (it's referencing a quotation in relation to price or money; thank you spanishdict.com), so assistance there would be appreciated. I will make mention that they could have created a different name for that website. Just sayin.'
Be sure to share some of your favorites, but just a warning, if I like it I will borrow it. So, thanks in advance.
Happy Tuesday, I mean...Martes!

That's What You Get For Waking Up In Vegas
3 days left and then Hubs and I are off on our first "alone" vacation since we've had Mia. I haven't packed a thing. I did, however, purchase the leopard print Sally Hansen nail strips over the weekend. PRI.OR.ITIES! Because why not do something totally impracticable and not work appropriate while in VEGAS!
And leopard of course!
I was looking at Mia last night thinking how weird it's going to be to not see her for 4 whole days. I've seen her almost every day for almost 2 years. I'm going to miss her like crazy, but I know that the Hubs and I need this time. He turns 40 this month and what better way to celebrate. I have a few surprises in store! I can't wait to goof off together for 4 and 1/2 warm days....in the city of sin :)
On the agenda:
1. Cirque du Soleil - Beatles Love show
2. Surprise helicopter ride (including champagne) over the Vegas strip/lights at night (will need a beverage...or 4 before this; I think it will be a really cool experience, but I am not great with heights and confined spaces, however The Hubs will LOVE it!)
3. Maybe Hoover Dam or Grand Canyon if we are not too hungover the whole time
4. The pool and lots of the pool
5. Cocktails (this really should be in the number 1 spot)
6. Maybe my Mia tatt, if I can squeeze it in (been waiting for months to make time to get it).
Now...to get all the crap done that I need to before we head out...
