Running Out of Catchy Titles for Confessions

1. I never had aspirations to be one of "those" moms, but I let Quinn do some things that "those" moms would DEFINITELY not approve of. One of those being that I let her eat her snackums off the floor. They're dry cereal so they don't get any hairs or anything and it's not like I let her eat ones that are days old, just hours. I figure I should probably focus on more important things like making sure she doesn't stick her finger in the electrical sockets or lick the air vents.

2. There was one time I was flirting with a guy and drooled on myself. No joke. I was leaning against a piano and talking to him and out of nowhere my brain stops thinking about swallowing and the spit just fell out of my mouth. Thankfully he didn't notice, but I still get embarrassed just thinking about it.

3. I finally got a Facebook page for my blog. That was a shameless plug. The confession is that I'm nervous that I'm gonna do a bunch of stuff and still epically fail at blogging. I have a hard time remembering that I need to do it for me and not for internet notoriety. Let's be real, internet notoriety is fleeting and not all that important in the grand scheme of things. But it's still cool.

Instagrammed Week 6

PicMonkey has collage now! So excited, I love it!


1. Quinn has a new toy box (with a ridiculous amount of toys) and her favorite way to play is to dump the entire thing out.
2. Sleeping on the way to more shopping with Nana and G-Ma.
3. Darn trains :(
4. Sending my secret blogger present! Checked the tracking today and it's going to Tennessee (from Kansas) and went through Iowa, idk.
5. Taking an almost 9 month old to the doctor is not fun, but it's even more not fun when the appointment's not for her. Luckily I remembered snackums.
6. Speaking of snackums, Jarrod surprised me with a chocolate turnover from Arby's. NOM.
7. Quinn's gotten quite a few new dresses recently. Guess I need to start dressing her up more.
8. Again with the snackums. That girl likes them a LOT. She shoves her hand in her mouth with more than one snack on it. Taking after her daddy, for sure.

Friday's Fancies: Memorial Day


This week I'm linking up to My Friday's Fancies. I decided to forget about Fashion Fridays because it was just a bad idea. It wasn't original and I'm so not ready to host my own link-ups. I did find this link up that was slightly different from other Fashion Friday link-ups and it also lets me use my Polyvore obsession weekly :D I'll probably still randomly post sets that I make for other people (and if you'd like to be one of them, just let me know!).

What I'd be wearing if I was actually doing something for Memorial Day:


1 fun striped (and slightly patriotic) tank
2 cute (and not too short) shorts
3 super cute sandals
4 a classic tote to carry everything in
5 bright adorable wallet
6 yummy lip gloss
7 awsesome iPhone case (if I had an iPhone, that is)
8 basic smoky eye
9 with eyeliner
10 super dark blue nails (fingers and toes)
11 a drink, of course (long island, please!)
12 aviators
13 awesome earrings

Greek Seasoning

I signed up for e-Meals a little while ago and so far I'm loving it. A recent recipe called for Greek seasoning and I couldn't find any anywhere. What do you do when that happens? Make your own!!!

Greek Seasoning Ingredients
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons dry oregano
1 ½ teaspoons onion powder
1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon bouillon
1 teaspoon dried parsley
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions
1. Mix it all together.
2. Store in an airtight container.

It can be used for pretty much anything. I used it in hamburgers tonight (with feta and green onion) and it was YUMMY.

The other day at the grocery store a woman with a toddler and I were talking and she mentioned how she was going to her 25th high school graduation soon. Then she said how she felt old because there were people who were born after she graduated that were old enough to buy beer. I kept my mouth shut since I am one of those people. Awkward.

---

Jarrod wasn't thinking before he spoke the other night and was using 'rectal' wrong. It was a very interesting conversation.

---

I had a dream the other night that Quinn walked, my sister Kaitey married Chris Evans, and that Prince William died. I don't even know what my brain's on.

---

I'm taking a mini blogging break to catch up on real life stuff (aka: clean the crap out of my apartment). I've got a couple posts scheduled and will (probably) still be reading blogs. Tweet or e-mail me if you need anything :)

Five Senses

Seeing: Community
I absolutely love this show! We got Hulu Plus recently and I'm in the beginning of season two. I highly recommend it. I watched it originally for Joel McHale, but everybody on the show is hilarious.


Hearing: Quinn's Sound Machine
No picture of this one. I wasn't gonna risk waking her up!

Smelling: Fajitas
We went to Carlos O'Kelley's for lunch when we picked my grandma up. Mmm, I love me some fajitas. Although, how weird is a Mexican Irish restaurant?


Touching: Keyboard
Please try to ignore how dusty it is and instead look at how messy I am when painting my nails.


Tasting: Sprite
Okay, technically it's Kroger Diet Lemon Lime, but we all know it's the same thing as Sprite.
