me likey.

I can't even begin to describe how excited I am for fall.

Maybe it's the fact that I've carried ten extra pounds around on my belly as well as seventeen extra pounds on my arm, that made me so daggum hot this year, but I've been freaking miserable. And I'm over it.

I find the older I get and the more my body changes and I lose the desire to run around in a bikini all summer, the more I loathe the hot weather.

Hate, hate, hate it.

I'm tired of being sweaty, smelly, and ga-ross.

I'm just ready for fall.

Fall brings about so many goodies, but I have to say my favorite part, well one of them, is the fact that my day of birth falls in just a few short days.

And this year, I've got a fierce case of the "I wants".

1)Bumbleride Indie

I've spoken of my desire to own this before, but I have yet to acquire it. Baby Girl and I both think Mama needs this big time!

2)a good pair of boots

This pair in brown would be heavenly. I am dying to have a good pair of boots. Problem; I apparently have elephantitis of the calf. Meaning, I can't get boots over my honkers. Boo. I want boots!

3) a new pair of running shoes. Ties in with numero uno. And that 10 pounds on my belly.

4) some new clothes. I have nothing that fits. But being as how I don't want to stay at this size for long, I just want some cardigans and scarves and such to play up the shirts I have now. Gift cards are acceptable!

5) a "me" day.


I love my child more than life, but I need a day to go take care of me. Mani/pedi, time with a good book, maybe a massage.. le sigh.. I just need to feel like a woman again!

I can't believe I'll be twenty eight in ten days. Where did the year go?!?

signs i'm growing up...

I have a bad habit of getting an item in my head that I want and not being able to think about anything else until I get it.

In college I wanted clothes, clothes, and more clothes. So I bought them.

Then I wanted shoes. I bought a new pair weekly. Every pay check yielded a new fancy to make my size 9 feet scream with joy (and sometimes pain but hey..).

It doesn't matter what it is, if I get something in my mind, I have to have it. I will find a way to get it.

Well I've got a new obsession, but this time it's not for me.


the Bumbleride Indie
Baby Shim needs this stroller. I can't stop drooling over it. Any Bumbleride fans out there? Is it as great as I believe it's going to be? How good is it for running? How portable?

Oh I lust....

because i need a freakin' pick me up.
