So What Wednesday, on Thursday, with pictures. SWWOTWP

Linking up with Shannon for So What Wednesday! Join in HERE!

• So what if Springfield, Missouri was AWESOME and I wanted to stay longer...
• So what if last weekend was the 2nd time in my entire 30 years I have seen snow and I still think it sucks giant balls.

• So what if I found the most fun (charitable) store ever and shopped in it each day I was there.  Where awesome lives.
• So what if I ate like this all weekend and am not at all worried about the weight I surely gained while on vacay.  (For the record, it was another pound, weighed this morning...)

Yeah that is steak and egg crepes from the Aviary. (A.K.A. the best place ever).

• So what if I wore these clothes the entire time I was gone & upon getting off of the flight I was thisclose to missing, thinking the plane stunk, I realized it was me.  Maybe I should have changed...or bathed. 

• So what if I busted out fake tears to the skank Delta employee so she would call the pilot to let me on the plane after they had closed up because I didn't want to sit in the airport until 7pm that night!
• So what if as of this moment I think St. Louis, MO is the most asshole-ish place on earth and everyone (5 people) I met there were nothing but hipster buttholes.  (I must confess that I am sure if I had met Holly I wouldn't be saying this)!

Also, how could you like a place where this is the weather?  I have a new respect for people that deal with this shit on the reg.

• So what if I really wanted to buy these snow boots from a thrift store and would never even have the chance to wear them again, in snow that is :)

• So what if I was so excited to get Scarlet "souvenirs" from my trip but ended up getting her Max & Ruby stuffed animals from a gas station and a St. Louis Cardinals shirt from Wal-Mart...
• So what if I can't wait for Easter because we make prime rib.

That's it for this week! Hope you all have a very Happy Easter, enjoy your family, (and food), and link up!

Winner & stuff{ing}

If Weight Watchers were about gaining weight, I would be a lifetime member.  Up another 1/2 lb here.  To be honest, that's less than I thought it would be.  I'm no idiot, I know WHY I'm up.  Poor eating/drinking choices.

No time to dwell here.  I am about to be on a party plane to St. Louis!  Has anyone ever said "party & St. Louis" in one sentence?  Is that even a fun place?  Whatevs.  I feel like a busted can of biscuits sittin' here in my tight jeans with muffins galore hanging over right now.  Seriously, I am taking leggings only on my trip.  That is even more gross that a muffin in jeans.  It's like stuffing a 10 lb sausage in a 5 lb casing.  I know I am painting a REALLY nice picture for you guys.

My kid has been awesome lately.  You know, other than the nightly fire drills she has been putting us through.  It's like her brain grew all of the sudden.  So much smarter, making better (for the most part) decisions, and actually behaving.  Dare I say it?  She has been fun to be around.  Last weekend we took her downtown for St Paddy's festivities and she had a blast.  So did we.  That's what I'm told anyway.  After the 3rd bar I just slept in the van for 3 hours.  Yep, like I said, WINNING.  I slept in the the 3rd row of my mini-van for 3 hours.  Read that last sentence again without laughing.  Can't do it can you?  So thankful for a husband (and in-laws) that see this as totally normal.  In my defense I ate 2 pounds of crawfish in 9 minutes.  Wonder why I gained weight?

Photographic evidence because why not?

 Cute ass girl with her shot glass necklace.  Perfect water cup for a toddler, am I right?

 I just love these new Target shades so much.  I also love that she pounded fried Sauerkraut balls right before this picture was taken.  That's my girl.  (wait, fried balls?  Why do I keep gaining weight?)

 Made some baked chicken caprese to try to lose weight really fast on Tuesday.  Didn't work but was GOOD. 

Ya'll like my new glasses?

Have a jazzy weekend and guys, I may have some really good shit next time I blog.  

So what?

I'm linkin' up with Shannon for So What Wednesday!

I'm saying so what...

• If I go out of town on Friday without my child or husband and I don't feel guilty.  Like even a little bit.
• If this past weeks Weight Watchin' has been a TOTAL joke.  I'm ok with it, it happens.
• If Google Reader is going away?  I got Bloglovin!
• If my 3 year old chooses 2 weeks out of each month to torture me.  She wakes up randomly, screaming random things, (belly ache, school, my lip hurts?), requiring me to go in and shush/throat punch her.
• If last night was one of those nights and I seriously wanted to throat punch her...
• If I eat Skittles like they don't actually have any Weight Watchers points cause I want to, and I will not stop.
• If I have a MAY-JUH surprise planned for the Hub's bday and cannot wait to tell him! Weekend of April 6th will be goin down in the books folks!
• If I would rather take 14 Mondays off and go to the beach every weekend this year than take a solid week off for family vacation in August...

So that's it for me, hope you guys will link up and say So What to your Wednesday!

Catch Up

Today starts my fourth week of Weight Watchers.  I have lost a total of 9 lbs. Pretty impressive if I could keep the momentum. When I woke up today, fully expecting to have dropped a pound or 2, I had not.  No gain, but still. Boo.  Not losing makes it really easy to want to pull in a drive through and get a delicious chicken biscuit cause your all like, "well I weighed today, I can work that off by next week, blah blah" but I didn't.  I powered through and am now having my fat free yogurt and fruit.  It's good, not chicken biscuit good, but nevertheless.

Last weekend we were on the way to a kid friends bday party.  We stopped at Target to get the kid a gift and Scarlet was being a tool.  When we left Target ($43 later, Gah why?) she decided that kicking me in the face was a good plan as I buckled her in her car seat.  I wanted to punch her but I refrained.  I got in the car and pulled out all the "You're cruisin' for a bruisin', I'm gonna spank the mess out of you" bull shit I had in me and she just looked up and said, "Momma? Please don't spank alla my mess out me ok?"  I have a strong feeling the age of 3 is going to make me bald.

I think my prob with losing last week was not using my WW cookbook.  I eat mega healthy throughout the day no questions, but when I get home I look for convenience.  Now don't get me wrong, my convenient is still healthy, but not WW healthy.  We have a deep freeze, a beer fridge with freezer, and our normal indoor kitchen fridge/freezer.  That is 3 freezers.  We have a lot of bulk meat that we are not willing to get rid of or let go to waste.  So when we decide to have a healthy Taco Bowl dinner that's around 5 points, I fail to acknowledge that we are using full fat ground beef (instead of turkey) and don't bother adjusting my points... Dumb I know.  Time to buckle down, and by buckle down I mean eat one less piece of bacon Saturday morning.

Scarlet keeps telling her teachers I am pregnant.  They keep asking me.  Like even when I have on a tight shirt and a flat stomach. WTF.

Last weekend my sister and I went to Pure Barre with a friend.  Please tell me what the fuck I was thinking.  My only form of exercise is walking to the outdoor fridge to get a beer.  Pure Barre guys.  That shit should be a) illegal, b) used in jail to punish inmates, or c) FREE.  I absolutely hated it.  I left class 3 times, twice I threw up part of a plum and water.  What I am trying to tell you is that I would rather run 6 miles than ever do it again.  After class I told the girl in front of me that I threw up.  She said "yeah, I have been doing this for over 2 years and I still feel like that every class!"  What the fuck?  Torture.  I will tell you this though, those bitches looked HOT!

Last but MOST IMPORTANT, I really did quit smoking!  It has been a week today!  And I bought those boots I wanted and my genius husband had the idea that I put $5 (cost of a pack) a day in a jar and at the end of the month go buy something.  I like where his head is at!

Have a good Thursday!
