MIA!

So, life has been... umm busy.

I've been keeping busy with work (still waiting on round II of interviews for a promotion - fingers crossed!!)

I leave for a two week assignment in Plano, TX on Monday. I am looking forward to it, as its a good church in a very nice area (Jerry Jones' hood!)

Photography, a few sessions this week, maternity!! Babies soon to follow!

I had the pleasure of having lunch with a great great gal pal. She is going thru some uber exciting changes, and I am so genuinely happy for her! You know who you are! Eeeek!

Today has been a lazy day, I cleaned, weve been working on getting the business taxes in order, were meeting with Amanda (our accountant tomorrow). We have YET to start our personal taxes, but those should be pretty easy peasy.

Oh and backtracking.. the hubster is bored with his car. Which might I add, we bought (yes bought FML) last March. It's a 2010 VW Passat. It's just too daddy'ish for him. So, beings that he works at a car dealer he sees all these fun cool cars (so I totally get it). Anyways, he wants a Mercedes C 300 Sport. I cant say I dont, because afterall, that was my first car I bought on my own. :) STUNNNA baby.

So, Thursday eve we went and test drove the car, they appraised our car, and were $3700 in the hole. WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT! Keep in mind, we have 0% financing. Ugh. So, the lease special would be around $420 a month, went to $517. Ugh. Damn car. I am annoyed because I will "eat" some of the loss, but darnit Jon is kinda a big deal, cant they take a little loss... I mean do they want to piss off the IT guy, who can shut their internet/email and so on off in a heartbeat ;) HAHA. I know Jon is a little annoyed too, especially since the response time today from the VW store was well.. yeah nothing. Anyways... so I told Jon if its meant to be, it will be but I feel bad because I know he wants a new car thats "cool".

So... thats the update of my exciting... err boring life!

I will update next from DALLAS~ Any suggestions for things to see/do while I am in the Dallas (PLANO) area?

Whirlwind

Its been busy. (Do I say this in every post?)

So for the good stuff...

Lost again! I am DOWN 20lb total. Holler. 2 weeks till I my goal to loose 30 total. I CAN DO it.

Got my camera and I am in Looooooveeee.

Bought a new car today. 2010 Volkswagen Passat.

Went shopping... beauty shopping ladies. On the new list...

Tigi Some Like it HOT Shampoo and Conditioner
Laura Mercier Foundation
Laura Mercier Shine minimizing powder
Urban Decay Mascara (PS I Love this stuff)
Moroccan Oil Shine Spray

I will be sure to let you ladies know my thoughts, I am planning a blog reviewing these and my Clarisonic next weekend, and it will be a photo blog post.. including pics of the new ride!!!

Well. I have to get things ready for Oklahoma. I fly out around 1 and I will be down there for work thru Thursday night!!

Spring is around the corner!

It's so nice to begin to see the grass. Even though it my be super soggy.. I see it and its making me happy. I am really looking forward to getting outside and taking down the Christmas lights (Yes you did read that correct, they are still up. Ugh. Maybe we will try today. Most of the snow around the house has melted some. It's such a PITA to get them down, but its worth it to see Clark Griswold(ahem I mean Jon) happy. It will be nice to clean up the yard, get the gravel out of the garage and just enjoy spring and being outdoors. :)

In the mean time, I will keep finishing up the projects inside, which I am seeming to invent them as they come up weekly to keep occupied! :) Last night Jon and I did a little retail therapy. We went to Von Maur, and he got a new dress shirt (Holla on sale from $89 to $60!) Its very classy, he looks so good in dress shirts. I picked up some blush and primer from Chanel. I really like Chanel's products. This stuff is amazing. I was previously a smashbox fan.. but IMO it tears it apart. It is a few bucks more, but my last bottle seemed to go way faster than previously.


I also recently bought a Clarisonic. I am so excited for it to arrive! I got pink (of course!) and I picked up a brush set for Jon, he's excited to use it as well!!

Lastly -
Here is a weekly update photo!

Hard Cider, Hair and Shoes!

So, I decided to add 200 fabulous (well needed) calories today and enjoy a...


Now... parden the camera phone picture, no makeup (and some break outs face!) and my sloppy and now getting too big shirt... and see the yummy Hornsby's Crisp Apple Cider. It's seriously delicious. Oh, and my hair... I used my FAVORITE hair product this morning. Big Sexy Hair Dry Shampoo.


Seriously, this stuff is amazing. My hair gets greasy -- quick and I could probably go a day washing it on day 2.. I wash my hair, use the dry shampoo on day two, and then start over. But... my hair will tend to get a bit fizzy.. and after working out, I need to wash on day 3. I plan workouts accordingly (because I am lazy like that!).


So - I did some online shopping, and ordered 2 new black heels. I got a steal on one of the pairs... $30.22 holla! They come on Thursday. I am in serious crave for spring, and ordered some fun Steve's!



I bidded on some BCBG's.. and now I am wondering what I was smoking, because they are kind of fug. Good thing they were only $17 shipped. I suppose I will get use out of them.

My new love...

...is my heart rate monitor watch.

I initially thought it was going to be a waste of money, but I jumped on the bandwagon. It's nice to be able to take a peek at my watch and make sure I am pushing myself to the limit. It tracks my time (length of exercise), heartrate and calories burned.

Tonight, I did the elliptical and then worked on my total gym...

While watching the Batchelor... which is kind of a bore. Especially since I cant stand Vienna. She's WT and in dire need of a professional color job. Speaking of color, I have a hair appointment on Friday -- and I cant decide if I should go "dark all over" or "dark with high lights" what to do!?!

Let me know which you think I should do!
