Who would buy that?

I don't know about ya'll but I get sucked into infomercials. You know the ones. Cheesey sales people, and pretty lame products. I don't know what it is about these commercials that makes me watch them, but I do. I always think to myself " Wow, that's pretty awesome" but never ONCE have a bought an infomercial item. Shamwow? I can't beleive I don't own one of those. Also, that GT Xpress 101. AMAZING! I want to make stuffed pizzas! But nope, never purchased. I have seen some pretty ridiculous as well as useful items on tv as well. So this is what inspired my post. WHO WOULD BUY THAT?
Pajama Jeans! Have you seen this ad? I mean come on. I'm as lazy as they come and even I can put jeans on! I don't care what anyone thinks either, they DO NO look like normal jeans. Look at those ladies ass's, terrible.



The next latest and greatest product I've seen is Style Snaps. Now at first I though, hey, that's a pretty good idea. I'm pretty picky about what my hems look like and this just doesn't cut it! What do you think?


What are some of your favorite infomercials? What products have you purchased from them?

Lazy



I have no excuses. I'm lazy. So to my 5 readers, I'm sorry I haven't updated you on the happenings in this house in a while. Lots has happened in February! Adam and I celebrated our 10 year dating "anniversary", went and spent the night away in Paris (no no just Paris TX),we celebrated Valentines day and of course I turned 26. That's still pretty weird to think about. But I don't feel like I look or feel 26, so I'm not freaking out don't worry! This month seems to have flown by. I think it has something to do with the 2 weeks of freezing icy weather, that kept us locked in the house. Like my last post stated, I really loved being in, but this past week has been gorgeous, and I've enjoyed taking my little man to the park and sitting outside blowing bubbles!

I know that none of you readers care what Adam and I are doing, which is actually good, because it's not much. So I know y'all want a Dylan update. He is almost 15 months. Can you believe that? He amazes me everyday. He learns something new, and you can just see his brain churning. It's awesome. Oh yeah, and last week, he decided to walk full time. Yup, finally. He very rarely crawls anymore. Really just when he falls and needs to get somewhere quickly! He has tried running, but isn't quite there. He seems like much less of a baby now that he can walk. He is so cute doing it too, his back arches, and he really loves to carry things. The last couple of days it's been plastic baby coat hangers! He also really likes Daddy's putter.

Homebody

I always knew that I preferred to be at home. Go to a bar? No, thanks, I'll stay at home and drink. Go to the movies? Naw, we'll watch Netflix. Being a home- body, really makes life cheaper too. It wasn't until this winter ice storm, that I realized how much I really like being at home. All I read on Facebook, is " gosh, I've got to get out of this house, or man, ANYTHING to get me out of this house." You know what? I've been inside ALL week. Dylan was sick this weekend, so I haven't left the house since Saturday. I'm not going stir crazy at all. I like being in my PJ's. Adam was home on Tuesday and Wednesday, so we just had a big PJ party. We through food in the crock pot, snuggled up and watched TV, and played with our favorite little boy. I don't plan on going anywhere tomorrow either. Call me a chicken, whatever, but the idea of driving on ice scares the crap out of me. Our street still looks like an ice rink, and our driveway is also. So I'll be sitting tight until Saturday when it finally gets above freezing to melt all this stuff.

But I am glad Adam went to work today, we are out of food!:)

Miss us?

I've been terrible about posting this month, sorry! This post is dedicated to Dylan, because well, he hasn't had a post since his birthday one, and he's been up to a lot since then!

So he is almost 14 months. Man does time fly. He still isn't talking, but we are working on it! he is slowly but surly trying to drop his afternoon nap, which doesn't make this mommy very happy. I had a great system, nap #1, I got things done around the house, nap # 2, I took a nap. With nap #2 going bye-bye, that means I don't get a nap. So I've been going to sleep at like 10.



In other news though, he is WALKING! Well, I say that, but he isn't walking full time. He can walk. not very far, but he will do it! He is pretty adorable if I do say so myself when he is doing it! Everyday he gets a little better at it.

Friday, we went to Gymboree for the first time. He had a great time. He really was more interested in going UP the slide than anything else though. Of course, now he is sick though. He hasn't ever been around that many kiddo's at once, and to be honest, I don't know how much sanitizing they do. There were all kinds of balls in his mouth. Because we don't have ANY balls at the house to play with.;)

There is a lot coming up in the next few months as well. Friday, I'm helping my sister move, We have Adam and I's 10 year " dating" anniversary, my birthday, we are going to a silent auction with Erin and Michelle,Half marathon in March ( which I might die running... err walking!;)) and we planned a trip to Vegas for the end of April. Of course, we had booked it before I realized it was Easter weekend:( So we're going to be doing an early egg hunt with Dylan! So it's going to be a busy few months. I will try my hardest to be better about posting. I just don't have a whole lot exciting going on in my day to day life.

13.1

not inches, not feet, but MILES. Do you know how FAR that is? Pretty freaking far. Somehow I was coaxed into signing up for my very first half marathon. Now, I had this goal, but I figured I wouldn't ever complete it, or I would a few years and babies after now. But noooo, I went to dinner with a friend of mine at Cheesecake factory, and some how I left signed up to run with her in the Dallas Rock and Roll Half Marathon. Here is the kicker folks, it's in less than TEN weeks. I haven't run since Thanksgiving. Well I went on a run a few days ago, and my legs still hurt. I'm pretty sure I'm going to need some walk breaks. TWO + HOURS of running? Yeah Right!

Hot Hot HOTTT

So, since the new year has come I know most people have a resolution to get healthy, whether it be lose weight, or eat better or whatever. I am of course no different. I want to lose weight, I mean, yes I'm below my pregnancy weight, and probably lower than I've been since freshman year of collage, but you know what? When you have a baby your body, muscles, fat, they move around and land in places you don't want them to be! So along with running, which I don't think I've done since Thanksgiving... Oops, I am doing yoga.


That's right people yoga. But not your standard yoga, I've started doing Bikram Yoga. Not to be confused with hot yoga. Now I won't be all " Bikram Vs Hot " But they are different, and a REAL Bikram practicer might take offense if you say hot yoga. You know, kind of like a marathoner taking offense when you tell them you ran a marathon, when in fact you walked half of a HALF marathon?? Anyway...Bikram yoga has a room temperature of at least 105. Now, in my 2 classes that I've done, the instructor always messes with the thermostat during.


Now, I am not your typical yoga person. I've always been an athletic person, so luckily for me, I didn't feel too much like a fish out of water during my first class. It's hot y'all. I am a sweater. There is no way that I could do any form of exercise and then go to work or school right after. Today, my second class I sweat WAY more. I didn't even know it was possible. But I guess you could sweat if you were trying to do this. While not falling over. With a hip cramp. I can't do it. It's my goal.

Moral of the story. I like it. I might even love it. It's a good 90 minutes all to myself. I sweat, so I feel like I'm doing something. Thankfully I have Adam's mom to be a babysitter. Good thing she kinda likes our kidlet!
