Tuesday Tidbits

1. Memorial Day is in another week and I don't have a swimsuit.  We're going to the lake with some friends.  I have a bikini, but I'm not sure I'm there yet.  Bought a one piece a few weeks ago, but ended up taking it back.

2. I travel to Atlanta Sunday and Monday for work.  Traveling with my least favorite co-worker.  She's a one upper regarding every aspect of life and it drives me batty and it makes me what to stab pencils into my ears.  But it's a vendor trip, so there's alcohol and food involved, so I think I'll survive.

3. I got a mani/pedi yesterday on Mother's Day.  Went with the shellac mani and a funky polka dotted pedi.  The nail polish on my toes has already chipped.  Say wha?  You know if I painted them myself it would last  at least 3 weeks.  Tempted to go back and have them repaint my toe.

4. This was the first year Mia told me "Happy Mother's Day" and I about peed my pants when she said it.  With her sweet little voice it may have been one of the cutest things ever.  "Happy Mother's Day Momma."

5. Holidays are hard.  I try not to have a pity party with each and every one, but by the end of the day I always feel sorry for myself.  So was the case yesterday.  I went to my parents and the Hubs went to his.  I wouldn't say that I "like" his Mom a whole lot.  If you haven't been following, she said some not so nice things about my family last year and since then I stopped trying to act like she liked me and I like her.  She's hurtful and I don't have time for those people anymore.  There was a card for me, from her, on the island when I got home last night.  I didn't open it and I'm not sure I will.  So with each and every holiday, whether large or small, we (me, Mia, Hubs) always spend a portion of the day apart and I effing hate it!  At least for Mother's Day I had Mia the whole day.  I understand that my Hubs wants to see his family, but I hate that that means time away from each other.  I'm always Grumpy Gus by the end of the day and I need to get over it, for the sake of Mia.

6. I love Lifesavers Spearmints.  I always have them in my office.

7. If I don't finish The Hunger Games pretty soon I may die.  I want to, I want to, but little time. My goal is to finish it this week so I can start 50 Shades Sunday on the plane.

8. Our weather lately has been amazing.  I'm sure by writing this it will rain for the next 2 days.

9.  I'm struggling keeping up with my "Mom" duties lately.  I kinda suck actually, but due to #8 we've been outside a ton.  I'm so behind on laundry it's ridiculous.  But does that really matter?  I used to think it did.

10.  I want my deck back.  We're in the process of rebuilding/enlarging it.  I didn't realize I would miss it so much.

Tuesday Tidbits

1. I'm horribly unmotivated this week.

2. I'm horribly exhausted so far this week.

3. I still have yet to buy one single thing for the hubs for Christmas, besides chapstick for his stocking.  He is just that hard to buy for.

4. Today is our work holiday luncheon and I'm excited to meet our new employees from our merger.

5. I tried a new glittery nail polish idea last night and it's ok, wish I had more of a silver glitter though.

6. I came up with a really cool Christmas gift for my assistant yesterday.  She's getting married in May and I think she'll love it (thanks Pinterest).

7. We had homemade deli sandwiches last night, ya know the kind with french bread and they were just as awesome as I thought they would be.

8. The Hubs calls Mia a super hero sometimes and she'll respond with "I'm not a super ritto Dad."  Cracks me up.

9. I decided yesterday I'm bringing Baked Potato Soup to my sisters on Christmas (again thank you Pinterest).  It's the crock pot kind and it's supposed to be as good as Houlihan's.  If you don't have a Houlihan's or have never had their soup, I'm sorry.  You should.  It's the bomb.

10. When Mia wears jeans she looks like a "big kid."  Some days I want to put her in a onesie just cause, too bad she's too big for those now.

11. We are picking up Mia's big girl bed on Friday.  Not a bunk bed, but a full.  We picked up two antique-ish pieces for her room last week.  AND Target has her bedding on sale.  It will be a work in progress, but I'm excited for the transformation.  There will be a chandelier involved and I'm super pumped.

12. Speaking of, how awesome would it be to decorate for a living, especially with an unlimited budget.

13. While getting ready this morning, I thought about how awesome it is going to be on Christmas at my sisters - we will have Sangria AND Bloody Marys.  Priorities. Woot!

Have a lovely Tuesday!
