Guess who's in da house...

Who do you think is more excited to be here?

I think dad is more excited to be wearing a flat billed Spartans cap! Pursley-we're going to need a m-l for the silver fox.

And no he doesn't have any eligibility left.

Anyhoo...started celebrating early or finalizing my thirties tonight with a little family, pork and good wine!

The Price of Beauty

Junie has had to have her teeth cleaned twice in the past year and a half.  This is getting a little pricey-I mean how much anesthesia does it take to put a lap dog down? And just think about how hard it probably is on her little organs to process the drugs? 

Therefore, we are attempting to brush her teeth a few times a week so that maybe we can stretch these cleanings out.

We never thought it would take two of us to brush our 9 lb maltipoo's teeth. 

They say a dog's mouth is cleaner than a human's.

Hmmm...I'm not thinking so but her mouth sure is cleaner now!

PBR Me

I'm not a big fan of PBR in a can...or in a bottle but I'm a fan of making someone's wishes come true!

One of my best friend's niece's husband-Brett Sheroky- wrote this red solo cup parody....you can clearly see his love for PBR in a can. 

He's celebrating a birthday today and all he wants is a million hits on You Tube. 

Do you like Baubles?

If so, you'll love Bobbing for Baubles by Essie.

I discovered it this weekend while getting a manicure and it's my new color obsession for the month. I am so over black and gray but still wanted a darker color for winter.  It's not as dark as it looks here in my picture-it's actually navy. Click here and you'll be able to see it better.

Celebrate!

And now it's Grama's big day to celebrate! 

Happy Birthday all the way from Texas.

Cheers to a great day and year!

Love ya!

Birthday Girl

Birthday blessings from Texas!

Love ya

Scrap Daddy Circus

Ummmmm.....don't know what to say about what I discovered this weekend. Quite the most unusual art I have ever seen and probably the most fascinating I've ever laid eyes on.

Scrap Daddy Circus is the name and mechanized scultptures are his game.

 Each piece is motorized

 They are also featured in the Houston ArtCar parade every year

There's the man himself in the background-Mark Bradford hard at work

Who's your daddy?

Kale is my new obsession...

While in shavasana pose this morning trying to calm my mind at yoga, all I could think about was the shaved kale avocado salad from Kris Carr's Crazy Sexy Diet book. I made it yesterday for lunch and had to have it again today. 

Here is what it looks like

Here is how you make it

Serves 2

1 head kale, shredded

1 cup tomato or red bell pepper, diced

1 cup avocado, chopped

2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil or flax oil

1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon cayenne

In mixing bowl toss all ingredients, squeezing as you mix to "wilt" the kale and cream the avocado. 

Serve immediately.

Forgetful in Texas...

Who has a forgetful husband?

I DO!

Forgetful in the fact that he loses MORE stuff when he's on the road traveling. Dress shirts, cologne (which he isn't allowed to take on the road anymore,) countless socks, travel pillows, sunglasses, phone chargers to name just a few things. But who's keeping track? 

I AM!

We're currently working on a app-it's called 

Keeptrackyoshit.

Tell me I'm not the only one...

family that juices together stays together

We kicked off 2012 with carrot, apple and celery juice.  Normally my new year resolutions revolve around health related goals...i.e. eat better, exercise more blah blah blah... While I will continue to work on those my real focus this year will be to LIVE life to the fullest. I will concentrate on the important things.... I will live in the present while making memories with my family and close friends. We're not promised tomorrow so I will enjoy each day and make the most of it. I will keep calm and carry on for whatever 2012 holds for us.

BRING IT
