Randoms...

*Bachelorette. Why is she so hung up on Bentley? Seriously? The guy treated her like crap...and she keeps. talking. about. him. I wish she could see what we all saw and then, maybe, she would stop going on about him...


*I finally found a girl who did my hair amazingly well. Problem? She no longer works at my salon. Soooo....I saw a new girl. Who totally turned me into a brunette. And cut off a lot of length. Not what I had hoped for when I went in telling her I wanted honey/caramel hues and a trim. *sigh* Now to find a new stylist and wait out the next few weeks rockin' out my hair as if I loved it.


*I'm in the market for some new makeup and would like to stay on a budget. I had been going to Ulta and splurging on my foundation & powder (used Bare Minerals...not the biggest fan...), but now I would like to go to Target/Wal-Mart and buy something amazing for a fraction of the price. What's your favorite face makeup?


*I finally watched Black Swan. And I loved it. It was dark, amazing, and made me sit and watch it without being online. It was that good. It's one of those movies where you'll love it or hate it. I? Loved it.


*Brynlie totally just laughed in her baby sleep. Holy adorableness I love her so much! She will be one month on Tuesday. Oh my word does time fly or what?


*I have an obsession lately with nail polish. Lately I've been in love with all of Essie's amazing colors--seriously, they make me want to give myself a new pedi every other day. Definitely recommend a new nail color to boost your mood! If you need suggestions let me know and I'll give you my favorite shades that I've been crushing on this summer.


*The husband bought me a Nook Color back in early May. I LOVE it. I always swore off any e-reader, but am so happy I have one! I'm trying to finish all of my paperbacks so I can buy more e-books. I'm hooked and am so happy that Leo bought me one for Mother's Day.


*Need to start working out again (besides mowing which I do once a week--and love for that matter). I have a postpartum boot camp DVD...and I'm interested in a Zumba workout that I can do from home. I wonder if Wii makes one? Or maybe I'll just be better off with a DVD? Thoughts?

Bits of Randoms....

**You may remember me drooling over this gem of a bag from Monogram Divas a few weeks ago. Because I really wanted to avoid having a diaper bag...I wanted to still feel like me. Well, my lovely sister surprised me with it for my birthday. Complete with bright pink monagramming. I am so in love with it. LOVE it!**

**I {heart} Mary Kay Andrews. Love her to be exact. And I have been waiting for sooo long for her newest book to come out. I ordered it online the other day and it just arrived yesterday. I can't wait to be utterly absorbed in her southern charm and fun read. Perfect book for summer!

**Leo is painting this weekend! I am sooo excited! I have been wanting to paint for two years now. Isabella and I may have helped jump start this painting project (or projects) for him. I was taking off some wooden decals that were all around her walls and *oops* wouldn't you know some paint came off! (We have that lovely paint that the builders used...the kind that comes off if you dare wipe it down...). So he agreed to do her room and the hallway by her room. I really wanted the foyer done....so my darling little girl decided to take a red crayon and draw big. red. "x"'s all over the wall. Along with a lot of red lines. As upset as I was, I secretly cheered that now we would have to paint there as well....I'll have to post pics of his finished projects!

**We went for my ultrasound on Wednesday. Only to get all the way up to Radiology and have the fire alarms go off. We were then escorted outside to evacuate. In the 100+ heat. Lovely. Mind you I'll be 35 weeks tomorrow. And on top of that? I had to drink 32 oz of water beforehand. So there I was swelling up like a balloon, almost wetting myself and then? I really thought I was going to pass out. We were out there for over 45 minutes. Lovely.

**I had to wait almost another hour before I got seen...I have no idea how I kept my bladder from exploding...but I managed! I think I probably sweat out a majority of the water. Anyway, the ultrasound went fine. My doctor had told me that they would call me if anything was abnormal about her size or weight. I have yet to hear anything so I am assuming Miss Madelyn is doing just wonderfully.

**Speaking of Madelyn it was confirmed she is now head down...which I could already tell by how I now waddle everywhere...and just feeling like she is going to fall out at any moment...sorry if that was a little too graphic, but seriously? That's how I feel! I'm crossing my fingers she'll arrive a little early or right on time. Bella Mella was my little princess who loved me so much she was eight days late and was only born when she was due to me being induced. I secretly wanted her to be an October baby, though. I {heart} fall!

**Last, but for certain, not least....I won Summer's adorable Red, White and Black giveaway! I cannot wait to dress little Madelyn up in all of the cuteness that was given away. And if you haven't been to Summer's blog? You. must. go! Now! She is so talented and crafty. She is a true inspiration to me! Oh--she also posts the most amazing recipes and pictures. Yum!
