My Sissy

I don't know how many reader's of my blog actually know my sister.

But if you do. You know how lucky I am.

I stinkin love her.

And she took this picture of my Boo.

Which is my favorite of her 2 years of life so far.

I just got it enlarged and it is hanging in my living room.

Thank you Kathi, for being my hero.

And for taking this picture.

I love you!

Something Unpredictable

So....

If you know me.

You know that I have always said.....

I only run if I am being chased.

So this is a stretch for me.

I ran my first 5K.

Yes. 5K. Which amounts to about 3.1 miles. It was fun.

And I am planning on doing it again.

Charlotte

Girls weekend 2010 was awesome!

We went to Charlotte, N.C.

We stayed at the Omni Hotel which was AMAZING! And we got it for a great price. I totally want to go back to this city with Benji.

We found out after we had planned our weekend that The Pioneer Woman was going to be in Charlotte for her book tour the same weekend.

So we shopped until we were ready to drop at the crazy awesome mall in Charlotte and then we waited to see the legend herself!

~This is me, Jocie, Carla and the PDub...Ange our other girl on the girls weekend wasn't as obsessed with PDub so she went to get the car! haha.~

My Sissy's BFF, Dana,(my dear friend as well) and my friend from highschool Kimmy were also there to see her. It was such a fun time.

Great girls weekend away. I think we are planning on hitting Asheville next year.

Diversion

In less than two weeks I'll be leaving my Boo.

To fly far far away.

I'm crazy. Crazy for thinking I could actually go through with this.

So I'm eating. And crying. And blogging. And cleaning. Rearranged the laundry room today. And the kitchen.

Organized the recycling. Really.

I can't sleep.

But I'm fine.

But if you think of me. Pray for me. I hate flying. Which is the real issue.

Emery actually stays with both sets of grandmama's all the time. It's not the leaving her I fear. It is the flying. Which I know is irrational. I think once we actually land in Serbia I will be fine.

And we have a day and a half layover in Paris.

Which I've mentioned.

Which is what is getting me through.

I know. I already said I was irrational.

I'm gonna get some meds for the plane ride.

And write down everything I want Emery to know in life.

And keep eating.

And blogging.

And watching Desperate Housewives.

And Gossip Girl.

Okay. I revealed too much.

A Lifetime Obsession

It's no secret that I've had a long standing obsession with Paris.

I've heard that it was a disappointment to some.

I say there is no way.

I just know that in a little over 2 weeks from now I will have seen Paris.

Brand Loyalty

I've loved Nalgene bottles forever. I still have my first one that is at least 10 years old. I know, I know it's got that crazy BPA in it...or whatever. I Tried switching to the metal bottles, but I just can't get used to the taste, feel.

Anyway the all the Nalgene's now are BPA free. I just got Emery her first one today. Isn't it adorable!?

She loves it already. :)

Today

I had great intentions of accomplishing a ton today. Saturday.

Instead. Emery and I are still in our P.J's.... We had a huge breakfast of eggs, bacon, asiago toast, goat cheese and strawberries.

We watched Dora.

We watched DVR'd t.v. shows that I enjoy.

We napped.

We ate some more.

We cuddled. Laughed. chased Vance, aka "Nancy" around the house.

We read books. Some of E's, some of mine.

We cuddled and laughed some more..... and played the tickle game.

It's has been not like I planned.

But it has been perfect.

Thank you GOD for blessing me with a daughter.
