camera suicide

It finally killed itself. I'm sure I had a hand in it's fatality. I'm sure dropping it on drunken nights and never charging the battery didn't help much. He was a soldier. On his final night he took several pics and then never turned on again.


Anywho... TIME FOR A NEW SOLDIER!!


I'm thinking I want this....





I dig it. It's a little more than what i'd like to spend but it's what i'm looking for. I mean, if I treat it with care it will last several years so why not?

The Birthday Girl! psst...it's the one on the right.

Sorah's 19th birthday celebration at work. Nerd power!

Cupcake

Kelly brought Sorah cupcakes for her birthday cause she had to work on her birthday. Boo Hoo...she turned 19. Lets all cry and complain about how OLD we're getting. Ugh. What i'd do to go back to that age.

Actually, Kelly will bring cupcakes for any damn reason. I'll be expecting some homemade ones on Wednesday. :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MADDOX!!!

It's my baby's first birthday!! Horray! We didn't do much for his first birthday. I read that first birthdays can be traumatizing for kids his age. Some parents over do it with clowns and crap. We decided to barbeque and snap a few pics while doing so. He enjoyed the cake so much he had to put his hands in it. If I wasn't house broken, I would too.

YAY!!

I'm excited!! New store, new peeps, new customers, new role. 2 weeks and counting....

Halloweeeeeeeen!!

I adore Halloween. Let me repeat, ADORE! I found a few costumes online. Ryan's is already picked out, he's the Iron Man costume. Maddox's costume is still up for debate. I'm digging the monkey costume because he already looks like a brown monkey. He would totally pull it off. What do you think??

Sunday With the Fam

These were taken at El Mercado on S. 1st St. Yummy!! If you enlarge the last pic of Maddox you can see his little upper tooth coming out.

Ears!

I thought this was pretty funny and random. What am i going to do with myself when i leave barton creek mall??

Creepy?

This is a bit much, even for me.

Fredricks

Dawn's Bridal Shower is tomorrow and i'm very excited about it. I've actually never been to a bridal shower with a lingerie theme. It also happens to be at Taverna which again, I have yet to go to. I can already taste the mimosas. :)

Where I work, I'm next door to a Fredricks of Hollywood. I don't know about you but I was brought up to think that VS was "classy" and Fredricks was "trashy". For Dawn's bridal shower, I chose "trashy" over "classy" cause I know how Dawn rolls. I felt so dirty carrying around that red Fredricks bag coming in to work. I moved the contents to an AT&T bag.

To be honest with you I don't really think it's trashy cause I could have gone the "hot nurse" route but I didn't. I have never been that person that gives out those types of gifts. I wouldn't put it past Dawn though. She is afterall the one who has "adult themed" pinatas for birthday parties. Not that anyone is complaining!

**UPDATE** This is what I got her.

A cute Ryan and Madd moment.

This has been happening a lot lately. I'll catch Maddox and Ryan hugging each other. Ryan has been carrying Maddox around the house now that Madd is a bit older. Ryan holds him so tight it looks like he's cutting off circulation to Maddox's mid section. Maddox knows better to hold on for dear life. I've caught fear in his eyes a few times when Ryan holds him.

Maddox will be turning one on Sept. 18th! He's been such a joy. He's really a fantastic little kid and i'm not just saying that cause he's my baby. Well, I may be a bit biased. ;) Maddox took his first steps on Sunday. He took about 3 steps before he fell. Since then he's been practicing every chance he gets. I'm a little sad though cause now that he's mobile he's becoming a little more independent. Tear. He'll be walking confidently enough by his birthday. He says, "mama", "dadda", "papa" which I think is Ryan, "baba" for bottle, and my Aunt swears up and down that he says "bath" although no one but HER has actually heard him say that. I think she lies. He also knows that dogs say "woof woof". We'll ask him how the doggies go. He grunts, umpf-umpf.

I love those kiddos!!

I lUV MK

Some people see this as Mary Kay, others see this as I Luv Michael K from Dlisted. What do U think?

FIRST!!

My first post since making the switch from myspace to "real" blogging. I used to blog. Back in the day before kids. I was snarky and sarcastic. I'm now tired and bored. I need to get out more. How I miss www.bastardly.com.

I'm pretty excited about the impending move to the new 2222 & Mo Pac store. I'm excited about being in a new position and getting more responsibility. I'll definitely miss a few people back at barton creek...but not really THAT many. I'll miss the convenience of Barton Creek Mall. If I want a red bull..I can go get one at any time. If I need a last minute gift for someone I know where to find it. I always know who has the best deals...where the clearance items are in every store AND I could find any store in the mall with my eyes closed. I dare you to try me. Nordstroms owns a piece of my heart and wallet. Maybe i'll save money by going to the new store?? Perhaps. I doubt it though. I'll always find a way to spend that last penny in my pocket.
