My heart aches.....

Two of my favorite men have walked out of my life this week....

I know I have introduced them to you before but just for the heck of it here we go again, as I'm very sad to see them go.

First theres Dr Christian Troy.

He is an amazing plastic surgeon who just this year moved out here to LA (maybe to be close to me!)He has had a rough patch in his life lately as he was diagnosed with Stage 3 Breast cancer, underwent a mastectomy and reconstructive surgery, then received the news the cancer is not gone and was given 6 months to a year to live. With that news he proposed and married his lesbian anesthesiologist/friend and created a family with his aids infested whore of a exgirlfriends son who she tried to pass off as his son, but was born African American, obviously NOT his! And now to the sad part.... he just left on his honeymoon with his new found 'family' Hurry back to me Dr Troy!! I already miss you!

Second man who walked out my life last night, well actually swam out...
Michael Westin.

This very smooth, sweet, serious ex spy was 'burned' which means pretty much he got fired from being a spy. Leaving him with no identity, no job or job references and a burning desire to find out who burned him. He meets up with a trigger happy ex girl friend, who I actually really like and yet another spy Sam, maybe I'm just partial to the name! Last night they 'took out' Carla AND Victor and met with the Management. He was given an altimatium and he opted for jumping out of a helicopter way above the ocean to take on anyone and everyone that is after him all on his own. Swim Michael swim! Swim back to me hunny!!

ETA- for those of you who are are lost.... I'm talking about my men on Nip/Tuck and Burn Notice. It was the season finale this week on both of my favorite shows, sad... very sad.... On the plus side, Burn Notice is comming back in JUNE!! WooHoo!

Picture a day finally updated!

I really didnt think this picture a day challenge would be so difficult but IT IS!!

I just updated out Just Us 365 blog with a bunch of pictures from last month and so far up to date with this month! Woo Hoo! I missed some days but what can you expect im not very good at HAVING to do things everyday!

Short Short Short!!!

Ok, So lately something had to change. As most of you know I dont do much to my hair, usually up in a ponytail or just down with the top pulled back. The one day I tried to do something to it to make it look good it turned out like CRAP and it really made me mad! So I decided it need to GO! So off to the salon I go... short, wash and wear that was what I needed! This is what I ended up with. I had to crop the picture because the only picture I have of my new hair cut was from the spa this weekend and I didnt know if my friends wanted their bathing suit pictures posted on my blog! lol

Right before she was about to make THE CHOP I remembered I could donate it for Locks of Love, an organization that uses donated hair to make hair pieces for kids who are suffering from hair loss for whatever reason. I was excited to do this yet again, I think this is the third time I have done it! You need to have a minumum of 10 inches to donate it and I had more like 12! As an added bonus since I donated my hair the haircut was FREE!!! WooHoo! I didn't remember that part but hey I'll take it!

This is also for Angies Wordful Wednesday!

What to drink??

Ok, I need some help! Im going out for a Girls night.. nothing big but dinner w/o kids is HUGE for me! lol SO.... since I'm going out and I'm not nursing..... WHAT DO I drink??? Whats your favorite drink? Please help this poor lady have some fun w/o the kids!

ETA- Thanks for the suggestions ladies! I decided on Laceys suggestion! I tried the margarita w/ the sweet n low. YUMMY!!!! Can't beleive it cost me 8$ for 1 drink but oh well it was worth it to be out! hehe

No wonder!

No wonder we all have such Credit card problems and how easy it is to steal peoples credit cards! I went to the pet feeod store the other day and I slide my CC thru the machine, had my ID out and had the pen in hand waiting for the cashier to ask for my ID and have me sign..... she hands me the recipt and says "Thank You have a nice day!"

WTH?!?!

I looked at her all puzzled. She says if its under 25$ you dont need to sign!

OMG, is this a company rule? a Credit card company rule or what? Thats crazy! I myself w/ 2 hands full all day could do some MAJOR damage 25$ at a time, with no ID or signature! I was and still am in shock... this is just crazy!

_______________________________________

Another OMG....
If you don't know already Ken works in Title insurance on the forclose side..... he was saying that there are people who have not paid their house payment in OVER a YEAR who who still has not been forclosed one!

WTH is that??

Gee, if it takes that long for people to get forclosed on just image how bad all those other people who have already gotten forclosed on were! And NOW.... the fed's just passed yet another law to stall the forcloser process.... make me wish I owned... knowing people don't need to pay for their house!

PSA- Car seats!

Recently I have had a few conversations with people who's child had outgrown their car seat. I remember when Kaitlyn first started growing out of her car seat and I was SO worried she would have to move into a booster. I really don't like boosters and don't think they are good for 3, 4 or even 5 year olds! I did my research and thanks to a good friend Shannon, I found there are bigger car seats that will keep your child incredibly safe in a harness! Your more than likely not gonna find them at Walmart or Target and I don't think Babies or Toys R us carrys them in the store BUT the Britax Regent is what I have and LOVE it!

This seat goes from 22 pounds to 80 pounds! That's right 80 pounds! The seated height is from 12 to 20 inches. The top slot for the strap is right about where Kaitlyn's head is right now! PLENTY of room for growth! Now there's no fancy cup holders or lights (what IS that about?) BUT it IS big and safe and comfortable! I have not been able to find a seat with as much padding as the Britax, and believe me I looked around! I truly believe that the kids should be as comfortable as possible in their car seat. I don't wanna sit on hard plastic why should I make my kid, right?
Anyways, I just thought that if I had a few people IRL talk about moving their child into a booster and I was able to show them the difference in safety and comfort then maybe you out there in blog land might get something out of this too!
PLEASE do your research and look around before utting your child into a booster! This seat will last Kaitlyn until shes about 8 years old! Amazon and other places usually has them for 250$ and free shipping! I just got my second one this week! Keep those kiddos safe!
*There are other seats that also fit bigger kids, this was the one I chose, PLEASE do your research when it comes to your childs safety!*

BORING!!!!!!!!!!

a>

OMG, I just noticed how boring my blog had been this week.... NO pictures! Well as you know its thursday and so..... It's Chipotle Night! YAY!!! The one night a week I look forward to! And guess what? Ken calls when he should be home and says he's working late! AAGGHHHHH!!! Im hungry man! ANYWAYS.... Just wanted to leave you all with a picrure for your enjoyment and so you all dont fall asleep while visiting my blog! Thanks for stopping by!

And because im SO very excited to see Mr Happy, Miss Attitude etc all comming back here's Mr Funny! Check out the Target 1$ section for more Mr happy and Friends!

HATE my camera!

Anyone out there have a suggestion for a new camera? I NEED one that has a FAST, Like SUPER FAST shutter speed. I NEVER cature that one instant that Kaitlyn humors me and looks at me! lol Not to mention just never having the settings right.
I need one that is easy to use and doesnt along time to learn. Sturdy, with 2 kids and 2 hands I may need to surgically attach another hand to hold onto the camera because yea sometimes it makes contact with the ground! I also need it to be easy to get the pictures off the camera!
A friend of mine has a Cannon Rebel. Another friend swears by her Nikon.
Anyone???

It worked!

Even with all the events this weekend trying to destroy my weight loss program, it STILL WORKED!! I lost 5 pounds and 3/4" off my waist! WooHoo! I'm super excited and it can only get easier because this first week was hard and the cleanse day... wow that was tough but i made it! Sorry no pics for this post! lol Hopefully soon! I can show the new and improved! Stay tuned!

STOP HOARDING!!

When I buy really awesome paper its SO hard for me to actually USE IT! I got the Shop Hop passport which gives you a list of all the SoCal scrap booking stores and you get a discount at each during the month of Aug and you can enter for prizes depending on how many stores you visit during that time. I only really go to one scrapbook store because i just don't know where they are so I jumped at this opportunity. I found this awesome paper that I had only seen online, I think its new?? So I got it, figuring I would just hoard it like all the other AWESOME paper I have! Then I decided I HAD to make myself use it! So I did one the other night and finished up the title tonight and did the other one tonight too! I'm so proud of myself for not hoarding it! I think they are both very cute, NOT my normal scrapbook pages but I'm pleased!



Thanks for looking!
