Husbands

Let me start this post by telling you how much I love, Love, LOVE my husband. He is such a great support to me and did an awesome job taking care of Sasha and the house while I was gone. But just in case you were thinking of asking your husband to take over the laundry duties, I thought I should give you a warning . . .

Last time I checked a hanger like that was meant for pants or a skirt.

I do actually have a drawer in our very large, very expensive armoire for my PJ's, but they ended up on the top shelf in my closet.
Don't get me wrong, I am most certainly NOT complaining! It is really nice to have someone take care of this stuff for me, especially when I am on the road. It just makes me laugh. But hey, if I was in charge of laundry we would have to label the baskets 'clean' and 'dirty' so we could tell what was suitable to wear. Suffice it to say, I'm kind of spoiled by having a husband that does most of the cleaning. But I make most of the money, so it's totally a trade off I can live with for now.

Oh, and here's my sweet girl snoozing while I pack for our first family vacation. We're going to St. George. Clear skies and sun, here we come!!!

Happy Birthday Dad!

Just want to give a shout out to my pops. Happy Birthday Dad! Can't wait to see you this weekend to celebrate!


Isn't he a good lookin' guy?

I get to come home today!!!

I get to go home and see my girl today! This trip seemed to last FOREVER! Last night I was talking to Josh on the phone and he put it on speaker so Sasha could hear me. She could hear me and kept looking around for me, but couldn't see me. She had the biggest smile on her face! Josh took these pictures and sent them to me to get me through one more night away from home. I'm just glad I'm not in Kentucky with my boss. He's stuck there for probably another couple of days. Poor guy. Thought I'd share the pics with you . . . She's so cute!

Another fun distraction . . .

This one from Whitney.
Go to google, type in your name and the word needs after it. Then post the first five things that come up. Whitney thought it was bad that she shares a first name with Whitney Houston the crack addict. Well just see what happens when you share a first name (exact spelling) with Lindsay Lohan . . .

1. Tonight- skinny Lindsay needs some food (ha! the last thing I need is food right now!)
2. Now Lindsay needs a bra (well this is very true since my boobs are now back up to a 36 D. Thanks Dr. Sellers, I'll be seeing you again in a few years!)
3. Lindsay needs love (this one is true. My loves are at home and I need them!)
4. Lindsay needs to stop wearing fur! (Uh hello, have you felt how cold it is outside? A girl's gotta stay warm!)
5. Lindsay needs new booze sponsor for her birthday bash (Well, the beer companies do have a lot of money and I'm sure they could throw me a great party. Though 90% of the guests would still be sober at the end of the night. . . do you think they'd mind?)
6. Lindsay needs to go to rehab (I know I was only supposed to post five, but #6 was just too good to pass up!)

For further distraction I thought I would do this for Josh and Sasha . . .

1. Josh needs a holiday or just a cuddle (lucky boy is getting both on Thursday!)
2. Josh needs some way to let off some steam other than either insulting his staff in a thank you speech or yelling at everyone about the numbers not adding up (oookaaay)
3. Josh needs help (well we know that!)
4. Josh needs a scholarship (sure would take care of those pesky student loans . . . though I don't hold out much hope for him)
5. Josh needs extra lovin' to keep his mind off ScarJo (that better be some kind of video game!)

1. Sasha needs a cocktail (a Similac cocktail. Though right about now Daddy might be considering adding some rum to the bottle)
2. Sasha needs attention (and she is very good at getting that attention!)
3. Sasha needs a good home (hey, she has one!)
4. I think Sasha needs more minutes (she's going to need lots of them when she becomes a teenager and has a million boys chasing after her)
5. Sasha needs ice cream (if she's anything like her mother, this will be a very important part of her future)

That was kinda fun. You should give it a try. C'mon, you know you want to!

A much needed distraction


Thanks for the fun idea Stacy! Check it out on Polyvore.com

What a morning!

Well I woke up this morning -late because I set the alarm for 6:15 PM - to discover that I didn't pack any clean underwear, nylons AND MY MAKEUP!!! I have foundation but that is it. I don 't look very cute au natural, but its too late to go to the store cause my meeting starts in 30 minutes and I have to do my hair! I am way out of practice for traveling. Argh!!!

I made it to Portland

Okay, I actually got out of the house, to the airport, and on the plane. So far I'm OK. I started to cry as I was holding Sasha right before I left. Poor Josh. He asked why I never cried when I left him. The truth is, I cry a little each time I have to leave. Leaving that sweet little thing is just not easy. Oh the sacrifices I am making for this girl. I know she could care less about where we live, but it is really important to me that she grow up in a good neighborhood with good friends and we live in the BEST neighborhood- I love our neighbors and their kids. I just have to take this as motivation to kick butt at my job and get things paid off so that I can do something else that doesn't take me so far away so often.
Speaking of that something else . . .I have decided to being pursuing my dream of being an event planner. If you know of anyone getting married or throwing a major bash (anniversary party, business event, birthday party- whatever. No event is too large or too small) my services are extremely cheap! Since I am starting out I won't charge very much but I will assist in throwing the best party your money can buy! Most planners charge about 20% of the cost of the event, I am only charging 5% for now. I'm sure this won't make it worth my time yet, but I am willing to do it for next to nothing in order to build a portfolio. I have a serious passion for bringing people together to celebrate, no matter what the occasion. So spread the word and let me know!
