The Chicks Get a Pedi
Oh, I just couldn't resist. My cute little chicks needed their nails painted. How many chicks do you meet with painted nails??? Come on!
I used four great O.P.I. shades (apparently I like reds), and a few of the seven chicks got a day at the spa with me. It's a belated Easter present. ;)

My ABC's and Moments ~ A Further Look into the Virtual Face of Owen's Olivia
First off, I see these things floating around Facebook, and I immediately think LAME-O. So I ignore them. BUT when I saw my virtual buddy, Danny, from Mommy For Reals do this, I noticed myself enjoying reading more about her. Since you guys do not know too much about me, I thought this might be a fun way for you to get to know me a little better. And since I do not participate in things like this, like ever, I am copying Danny's letters, unless I feel the need to change one.
A. Age – Yikes! 31
A. Afraid moment- the week before I gave birth because I didn't know what to expect.
B. Bed size – Queen, though I tell Matt I want two twins in our Master, so I could have the bed space ALL to myself. (I'm not the cuddling type)
B. Blissful moment- marriage
C. Chore that you hate - Going to the bank and mopping floors. Okay, maybe laundry and dishes too.
C. Childish moment- When I was 18, I went a club, got on stage, and entered a "Shake your Bootie" contest. (clothes on people, come on) I won, and I got tickets to see some ridiculous rap star in concert. Lame! Or maybe when I tried to impress a boy, and I fell off my bike causing the chain to dig into my calf. Yep, I had to get stitches (and a scar today), and I never tried to impress a boy again using tricks.
D. Dogs – One German Short Haired Pointer named Walker. I've mentioned him here, and here.
D. Dumb moment- When I stole fake eyelashes from Wal-Mart (I was 16).
E. Essential start to your day – Peeing and Eating, just not at the same time.
E. Embarrassing moment- When I accidentally farted in front of a doctor and patient. (one of my old jobs)
F. Favorite color – Certain greens and blues, teal, gray, and black.
F. Fun moment- Backpacking Europe (2008)
G. Gold or silver – I love both. My wedding ring is gold, and most of my jewelry accessories are silver.
G. God moment- I mentally hit rock bottom at the age of 20, and I decided it was time to turn my life around.
H. Height – 5'6"
H. Highlight moment- the birth of my son (2010) and running my first half marathon (2009)
I. Instruments you play – None, and you don't want to hear me sing either.
I. Impaired moment- everyday when I lose my wallet and keys, and forget to drink water. (I think drinking water will help cure this, but I forget to drink the water.)
J. Job title – Currently, chauffeur, maid, cook, secretary, financial officer, teacher, and nurse.
J. Jerk moment- On the last day of school in 6th grade, an 8th grader had a mouthful of water and spit it on my head. I didn't even know the boy.
K. Kid(s) – Owen, who is 21 months old.
K. Kind moment- Recently, Matt used his Christmas bonus to buy me a new phone. (My phone was broken, and I had been without one for about 6 months.)
L. Live – In a suburb just outside of Raleigh, NC
L. Law (like Law Enforcement) moment- Once again, when I was 18, I used a fake ID to get into a club (who knows why????), and I got caught. I had 42 hours of community service, and paid a fine.
M. My first kiss- Spin the bottle at Amanda Gressle's home. I think his name was Joey. I should have waited.
M. Matt moment- All the times he is willing to stop what he is doing to serve others.
N. Nicknames – The only thing I can think of is Nance. Fortunately, I didn't receive any scarring names during adolescence.
N. Nice moment- When my husband remembers something I casually said and then surprises me later.
O. Overnight hospital stays – None. I birthed Owen in a birthing center, which is not a hospital.
O. Overwhelming moment- When my dad ran me over with his car. Or maybe when a dog bit off the side of my face. Or when I lost a finger nail. Or when my sister ran my head into a corner and busted it open.
P. Pet peeves – People drinking the milk out of their cereal bowl.
P. Piercing moment- I had my tongue, belly button, and the top of my ear pierced. I broke a tooth, almost passed out from the belly piercing, and my ear got infected within a week. So no, I don't have those things.
Q. Quiet time- I usually surf the net or work on projects during quiet times. I have a hard time turning my brain off to take a nap, unless I am extremely tired.
R. Right or left handed – Left handed.
R. Regretful moment- all the times I pass people with hunger signs, and I have food in the car.
S. Siblings – 3 older sisters.
S. Scared moment- When I went skiing for the very first time down Black Mountain in MT. I was 24, and I cried the entire way down.
T. Time it takes you to get ready – Uh, is this referring to my typical M-F attire? If so, 15 mins. If not, 1 hour depending on what I am doing.
T. Tattoo moment- When my mom passed away when I was 15, I contemplated putting her initials on the back of my neck when I turned 18. I never did it.
U. Underwear – Seriously? This was a question? Unfortunately, I couldn't think of anything to replace it.
U. Under stress moment- My first engagement (Matt was the second guy I was engaged to)
V. Vegetable you love – Bacon. Wait, that's not a vegetable.
V. Vixen moment- (2009) I had lost 25 lbs, could fit into my high school prom dress, and was a size 6. Also, I felt incredibly beautiful around 6-7 months pregnant. I think I could have sported a bikini and thought I could have won a Miss America pageant or something.
W. What makes you run late – I have no concept of time.
W. Worst moment- do I really need to state this? I mean, just pick any one of those bad teenager moments.
X. X-rays you’ve had – Teeth
Y. Yummy food you make – Tacos, grits, Roast, Fish tacos, burgers, mac and cheese, pork carnitas,
Z. Zoo animal – sea lions (I'd rather go the aquarium)
Z. Zany moment- I'm sure I've done something stupid to make others laugh.
I have to say this was quite interesting on my part. I realized some things about myself, like which parts were a little harder for me to answer. It's also interesting to see what I have remembered, or what I am so focused on (like motherhood or my poor choices that still haunt me). It's also interesting to see patterns. For instance, I was a crazy kid.

The {Inappropriate} Elf on the Shelf
Okay, so here is one side of me I know you have not seen on this blog yet. But alas, I do have a humorous side. And bonus points for posting it close to Sunday. (Not really.) I just had to get this up quickly because I was so excited, like really excited, to enter this contest. Not because of the prize (but the prize is nice), but because of the contest itself. It's called The Inappropriate Elf on the Shelf contest. I had many ideas run through my head and I ended up going with the very last idea that popped in my head. I am so glad I did.
The Pissed Off Elf
Slim Jim the elf is upset with you. You hid him in the Christmas tree (He has acrophobia). Behind stacks of books high up on the leaning tower of Pisa bookshelf (He peed in his pants that night. thanks.). In Sarah's underwear drawer. Next to creepy Bozo the Clown. You even left him in a potted plant outside in 10 degree weather (He's still can't feel his toes.). He's had enough, and he's letting you know . . .
{I'm using a stick to prop him up}
HELP ME WIN!!!!!
I am #44.
VOTE HERE by clicking this link and then click "LIKE" below my picture!!! YOU CAN VOTE EVERYDAY FOR ME TOO, which I will happily remind you guys everyday until it ends.
Could you also tell me which photo is the funniest out of the 3? I can only have 1 photo judged for the contest.
