I Want To Be Dirty

All thanks to Alisa ......
I'm a happy girl today.

I should report that I am 2 weeks and 1 day coke free- not because I'm trying to quit drinking coke- but just b/c it hasn't sounded good....until now!!
I'm going to drink each and every one of these very slowly and I'm going to spread them out over time so they'll last.  It'll be like when you get new clothes and you save them before you wear them.
(I may be the only person who does that).

If anyone needs a fantastic nail tech and friend... please hit up Alisa at Allure Salon.  She's so sweet and a fabulous tech.  I'm EXTREMELY picky about having my nails done and even examine for crooked brush strokes (just ask The DeShazo)....and Alisa never disappointed.  She's fabulous.
I do my own gel nails now...but if I didn't- Alisa is the one !

Lately, I've become obsessed with fruit water.

No sugar, no cals....and it's fabulously carbonated.  The lemonade one is the best, followed by the watermelon punch, just in case you decide to try it.

So...I decided a couple days ago that I want to be dirtier.
Not as in my person, but as in my house.
I spend a ridiculous amount of time cleaning, planning menus, cleaning, and cleaning. I've practiced being dirty for almost 48 hours.  I noticed dust on the kitchen table and I just wiped it upon arriving home today, where normally I would immediately bust out my off brand pledge.
I've also noticed spots on the kitchen floor (I'm sure from LG's cup) and I've just walked on by, where normally I would grab a wet cloth and wipe it up- and then mop the next day.
It's clearly bothering me that it's there....but I'm just tired and I don't want to spend my time cleaning right now.... I want to hang out with Martinez & LG and try this exercise mess for The DeShazo.....which leaves little time. So, we shall see how long being dirty lasts.
(And I'm not judging ppl for being dirty if this is normal for you... I just live by certain rules...like....no dishes in the sink.....all beds must be made....don't leave the house with things strewn about.... you get the picture...which is why I really want to figure out how to relax about it).
Anyway.... my attempt so far has been to scrub the bathrooms like crazy since I'm trying to wait til Thursday to mop....which I suppose ultimately isn't solving anything.

My Kid Kissed An Alligator

Weekend recap....

Friday, LG and I were able to hangout with Dana, A & N.    Our little ones have such a great time together !

Martinez and I slipped back into our old ways just for one night and enjoyed some On The Border.....and my child ate so many chips she couldn't hold her dinner.

Saturday- we played outside quite a bit....

My big girl loves to be outside!

Sunday was church and then a fun birthday party...

Yep....that's my kiddo about to kiss an alligator. (photo credit to Michelle!). Though I didn't actually see her kiss it....Melissa and Diana confirmed a kiss right on the mouth.....This girl ain't scared of nuttin.....and this mama has never been so happy for a taped alligator mouth.

and then holding an armadillo....

and.....a snake....

She's quite the animal lover....

There was also some sort of lizard that was also licking her....and the lady giving instruction informed us that they hold lots of bacteria in their mouths....so you know the clean freak in me was thinking about how many clorox wipes I was gonna use on her later.

Just kidding.....They weren't actually clorox wipes.

We had tons of fun!

I woke up in a super cranky mood today....I have no idea why. Well, I kinda know why.  I completed Day 3 of C25K (which is still a big deal b/c I've on my own exercised twice without The DeShazo forcing me....and by the way....she turns 31 tomorrow, hehe) and I should have waited more than 30 minutes (duh!) after eating to go out in the 95 degree record breaking Oklahoma temp for this time of year to exercise....and today it was freaking 100 per my car !
I'm really sorry for how that sentence is....but I won't retype it.
Anyway, I got major heartburn....the heartburn that keeps me awake.....and makes me think I'm having a heart attack.
So, I'm cranky....
Then, the Miss Me capris I found last night and decided to order this morning were gone in my size....gone...like no one else has this same pair....I looked....and complained....which led to our Intern Chase stating that he has a hard time buying denims as well b/c he has child bearing hips.
It made us laugh all day....so I'm over the capris finally.

Food Log Challenge Day 7

Bf- boiled eggs, four slices of Turkey bacon
      french vanilla cappuccino kcup

lunch- super late ...Napoleon's....I tried to eat the salad I brought I promise....but after I spit two bites b/c I just couldn't bear swallowing spinach today .....and after The DeShazo's apple had mold in it....we had no choice but to go to Napoleon's.  Then, while at the checkout, this brownies were staring at me and I'm pretty sure I really did hear voice.  The voice said "Anna, since your capris are now gone...you should eat me." 
I'm pretty good at listening to voices, so I bought it, and then made The DeShazo eat half of it because after all, we had already made one bad decision and we were both going down together.

Dinner- 1 chicken/bacon/ ranch tenderloin and 2 black bean brownies.  It's like the half of a brownie I had earlier just wasn't enough. 

-Drank 80 oz of water and 2 fruit waters

Let's just chalk today up as a bad food day.

And we did not start week 2 today.......maybe tomorrow?

My sweet girl today....

Until Next Time....

Blast from the 90's

Food Log Day #5

Bf- boiled egg and 4 slices of turkey bacon

      french vanilla cappuccino kcup

lunch- subway club- baked bbq chips

snack- sugar free pudding

dinner- a bowl of fit & active cereal with unsweetened almond milk

-Drank my normal 80-100 oz of water and a fruit water


Yesterday, The DeShazo and I swindled a day off at work....we just have to wait until Martin Luther King, Jr. Day to enjoy it.  While many people have that day off already....we do did not.

The boss has been waiting on a pair of shoes to be delivered for a few weeks.  While he was in court yesterday, the shoes arrived.
Naturally, we hid them. This isn't the first time we've hid packages....we just can't stay out of his business apparently.
We ended up making clues for him to find his shoes ( like we are in third grade and creating a scavenger hunt).  One of his clues was to report to our Intern, wherein a note was left for him stating that he must advise his staff that we would be off for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day AND Veterans Day- and after those days were granted off- the next clue would be given.
We had to compromise....and he gave us Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.  We'll take it.
The DeShazo and I had no idea that when we awoke yesterday morning that by noon we would have added an extra day off to our work calendar! (Just to clarify- he's pretty generous about days off.)
Victory !


I'd call that a successful day's work.

Confession:  I heard a Backstreet Boys song on the way to work this morning and after I got to work, I might have jammed out to more of the Backstreet Boys....and then The DeShazo and I may or may not have continued to sing...."I don't care who you are.....where you're from....".

You're welcome for getting that stuck in your head.

Then, The DeShazo promptly informed me that she is NOT a Backstreet Boys fan, but rather Nsync allllll the way.  So we sang Bye, Bye, Bye out of respect for her. 

And now you're welcome for getting that stuck in your head.
