"Whhhhyyyyyy tell us why..."

Haha "dual bag"

So ladies...long story short, Big Daddy is totally in the dog house for some a-hole, douche bag comment he made to me. And I know you're all dying to know what that was, but I'll save that for maybe another day, another dedicated post :)

Hi, my name is Nicole...

*HELLO NICOLE* and I am a procrastinator. Yes it is December 15th and I am only NOW looking into our family's Christmas cards. Last year I sent out hand-made cards to my family with scribblings from the monsters and included a "recent" picture of them. It took FOREVER to get everyone situated and then having to take a million pictures because everyone just "wasn't ready." Or someone was pushing someone else. And then OH EM GEE someone farted. But I mean really? NOTHING should have to be that tasking. I promised myself then we would not be subjected to the yearly Christmas picture ever again. I mean heck, I take sooooo many pictures of the kids throughout the year. I mean why send one picture when you can send more than one...Hello Christmas cards!

No more "posing" for the "perfect" picture. I can sift through all my picture folders on my hard drive and just grab not one but a bunch of FUN pictures. 
In fact, why stop there? We're talking about my family that lives back in Hawaii who we don't get to see...ever. I'm sure the grandparentals would love seeing our crazy faces every day...

Calendars! Now that is awesome! Dare I say perfect?!
I've ordered prints from Shutterfly before, but never actually "made" anything. Now I wish I did. They have everything! Note cards, calendars, thank you cards...and all can be personalized with a picture(s). Even that crazy picture that is just so cute but of course kinda crazy

AND with all those gifts that the monsters get, not just on Christmas but throughout the year, Shutterfly even has thank you cards. They can even be personalized with a picture. More pictures. What grandparent wouldn't like a personalized card like this...

 ...complete with "writing" on the inside from your little ones.


No more procrastinating for me. So Shutterfly here I come...don't get lost in my dust folks. 10 more days! Let's get it! :)

A little pep in your holiday step

So I haven't really been in the Christmas/holiday spirit like I usually am around this time of the month. But after watching this I am ready!




We tend to forget to just have fun this time of the year. Everywhere we go, people just seem stressed out. Not me...not this year. Have fun everyone!

CHH CHH CHANGE :)

Whoa baby! I am in a GREAT mood today. Time for more "getting to know me." I haven't done this in a LONG ASS TIME, so I will pick up where I left off at many months ago :) LOL

CHILDREN? How many?

4...BOYS! If you count Big Daddy then 5.

How much CHANGE is in your purse/wallet?

$3.75 to be exact

CEL phone you currently have. CEL phone you wish you had.

I currently have a Blackberry Storm 2 and I kinda wish I had the iphone 4. Or even the Android Incredible.

CAR you drive.

2003 Black Chevy Trailblazer LTZ

Favorite CANDY.

GREEN peanut M&Ms. They taste the best out of all the other colors :)

COLOR of you hair.

Right now its brown with blond pieces like in some spots lol. See what had happened was, I did LOTS of blonde highlights throughout my hair like 2 years ago, then went jet black last year. Well the black all washed out and now I'm back to my brown hair, but there's random blond pieces everywhere.

CASH or CHARGE?
Debit lol. I use my Visa debit card all the time because we do that keep the change program :) I rarely carry cash.

Favorite CHIPS.
Ummm...I used to LOVE Cheetoh puffs. Oh and funyuns. Well I guess I do still like them.

COCKY or CONFIDENT?
I'd like to think that in my small stature, I am pretty confident. But catch me after I just got done working out...whoa baby I am just a tiny bit cocky.

CLOTHING style.

I worked in retail for the majority of my "working" career lol. So sadly I use to be such a slave to trends. These past couple years, I have been a jeans and rocker t-shirt kind of girl. In fact I LOVE the rocker look. These days I find myself wanting to wear dresses again. Sucks that its cold out. But then again, I do have a new found love for patterned tights. Oh and I never leave the house without a pair of heels on. ALWAYS at least 3 inches.

Yup folks I'm bringing it back. See you next Friday for the continuation of the ABCs of ME :) Hey if y'all wanna play, just answer the questions and comment here with your blog link and i'll come find out more about you :) AND if a lot of you like this, then I'll definitely do a Mr. Linky for it :)

To feel like a teenager again

Big Daddy was perusing the internet yesterday and came across this article: How to Feel Like a Teenager Again And Live Youthfully. What was he looking for, I have no idea. But the article is really cool. I love the things it says that you can do to bring back that teenage careless/spunk feeling back into our crazy responsibility filled adult lives.

My fave thing is actually the first thing on the list...

Take your husband or partner and go parking.

My first thought? FUCK YA! LOL. Sorry. The article goes on to say "Remember how invigorating it is to enjoy kissing your partner or being intimate in the back seat of a car." Um ya. LOL. 

Ok so moving on...with all the craziness of the holidays, I think this is something I'm gonna spring up on Big Daddy. We haven't gone Christmas shopping yet, and when we do, we plan on leaving the monsters with VonTrapp. Sooooo perfect time to get it on in the backseat. Oh to be fondled like a teenager thinking the whole time, "I hope we don't get caught."

We all need a little pick me up. Being a grown-up is tough sometimes. So take a look at the article. Its fun. Make out with your hubby like a giddy teenager. It'll make you (and him) feel soooooo much better.

*Shake*

Here's some fun for you morning. Well in my case (CST) mid morning and (EST) lunch. Get up and have some fun. I'm at work and busted my *shake* out too.

"Just wook at it"

STANKY: I gotta use it, I gotta use it.
ME: Well go use it.

I then hear his fat little feet run across the living room and into the bathroom.

ME: Make sure you hold it down.
STANKY: Otay mommy.

I hear him pee, stop, pee, stop, pee...

STANKY: Mommy come see. Wook at it.
ME: (walking into the bathroom) Look at what?
STANKY: My peenee. Just wook at it. Wook at it movin.

I look and there he is..."flexing" his "peenee" making it go up and down. Um ya. What the heck?! Does it really start this early?! LMAO.
