Victorious

So I really don't like bugs.  I either avoid them or I get the Pants Monkey to kill them for the most part.  I will admit to being a scaredy cat girly girl.  There are a few exceptions though - tiny fruit flies?  Yeah, I'll kill those.  Tiny ants?  I'll kill those too.  Spiders?  If they are little and not too dark colored I will sometimes kill them, but a lot of times, I leave them be - they do eat other bugs after all.  But anyway, you see the overall theme here?  If they are TINY I will deal with them. 

So last night I was getting ready to get out of my evening bath when a very large black spider started crawling across the floor.  Considering I'd have to be barefoot near this monstrosity was not something I was terribly excited about.  I thought about yelling for the Pants Monkey and then I thought about it and I said to myself, "Self, you are going to be somebody's mom.  It's time to act like the mom.  Just do it."  So I side stepped the spider as I got out, grabbed some tissue and killed him all by myself.  I was pretty dang proud of myself!!

I have to say, one of the best things about being pregnant is being able to wear leggings pretty much all the time and no one complaining about it.  I will also say though, I can't get enough of the Simply Vera brand from Kohls - these particular leggings are made to look like pants, they even have pockets on the back.  The material is almost a light denim feel.  And they are COMFY.  I can't say enough good things about them.  I'd wear them even if I wasn't pregnant!

Inspiration Monday (If you squint)

This isn't my best Inspiration Monday interpretation, but I did my best!  So here is Miranda Kerr - another person I'm not really sure of who she is, but I love her comfy chic outfit here.  I do not have awesome leopard print skinnies, but then again, I'm not quite sure if I could pull them off, lol!

So for my look, I chose my dark skinnies, the sweater I wore with my Easter dress (since it was after church and we were going to my parents for dinner) and a plain ole t-shirt.  It was a very comfy outfit for stuffing myself with a big ham dinner!

It ended up being a really lovely day yesterday, I thought it might end up colder, but it wasn't too bad.  We had a really nice dinner with my parents and somehow got sucked into the Masters with my dad.  I tell you, nothing makes you feel older than suddenly finding golf entertaining.  But the last hour was a serious nail biter - it was really kind of an edge of the seat thing!  I'm excited that Bubba Watson won, I liked his pink golf club, he he.  I think it helps that we play golf, so it makes watching it a little more interesting anyway.  Or I've just cemented my fate as the biggest nerd you ever met. 

Speaking of nerdy things - I will soon be posting my first ever VLOG!!  I'm quite excited about it, I think it turned out ok, I'll get better with practice.  So stay tuned, I need to figure out how to get it from my iPhone to YouTube and then I'll bring it here!  Wee!!

In your Easter bonnet

Hello peeps! Happy Easter! I hope you are having a wonderful day either hunting eggs, attending church, eating ham or just relaxing on a Sunday! I hadn't intended to blog today, but  I wanted to share my Easter dress with you all.

I bought it about three years ago for my anniversary with the Pants Monkey - and I realized today I don't remember where I bought it!  Gasp!  Oh well.  I received many compliments on it at church this morning.

I also have fun new shoes from my cousin too.  Yes, we also wear the same size shoe.  These bad boys are very fun - but not the most comfortable thing ever.  My feet were ready for a break after church was over!  I'm dressing down for dinner at my parents!

See what I mean - they are pretty awesome shoes though right?  As my grandmother would say "sometimes we have to suffer to be beautiful."

 

The necklace was a Christmas gift from my in-laws.  It's nice and simple, which is good sometimes! I wear a lot of statement jewelry, but sometimes I like something not so flashy.

Oh there's this one other thing about today.....

I CAN SHOP AGAIN!  WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOO!!!!
