My Wi-Fi is finally working reliably...I think... And, yes, we are here for the "epic victory". The crowds are rowdy! Have a great weekend, everyone!

Mother's Day Ideas and Amerisleep Giveaway

  ***UPDATE: Amerisleep has started a new referral program. If you order your mattress through this link , you'll save an additional $50 on top of other discounts and specials !!!*** Mother's Day is almost here, which has somehow morphed into a holiday where you have to give your mom a present...and your sister(s) and your sister(s)-in-law and your friends and your employees. Yes, being a "dog mom" counts. Basically, all women expect a gift on Mother's Day. Need some gift ideas? I've taken my list of gifts from Christmas and have edited it for moms. There's also a kick-@ss (in honor of the holiday, there's no actual swearing here, as my mom would surely not approve) Amerisleep Mattress Giveaway with TWO WINNERS (kick-@ss odds of winning something) at the bottom of this post, so if you're broke and can't buy anything for your mom, you can at least try to win her something nice. Everyone seems to have a recommendation for the *perfect* gift

Blog Hop! Link Up with LambAround

It's the weekend! It's the weekend! Sexy Nerd and I have had quite the week. We found a great new place for happy hour that's within walking distance of our house. A beer each, 2 tacos each, 3 sopapillas, (which Google keeps trying to "correct" to Sarsaparillas) and unlimited chips and salsa was only $10. Not bad! We also looked into selling our future home site to buy a lot on the golf course. Hmmm...decisions, decisions. (Truthfully, the decision has already been made to keep our current lot. It seems much more dramatic the other way though!) There's a great new feature for the Not "Baaad" Sundays blog hop. By hovering your mouse over your favorite pins, you can easily post them to Pinterest . Neat, right? Have a great weekend, everyone!

Wisdom Teeth & UPS

I can't sleep! True, it is only 9:36 pm, but I want to go to sleep now! I called my dentist today to set up an appointment for a filling and they said - lucky me - they can get me in first thing in the morning. Lol, at work I tell paranoid parents every day that getting a filling is absolutely no big deal, but I don't want one! I was kinda hoping they would get me in sometime next year. Better to get it taken care of, I guess. The cavity is on a wisdom tooth, which I have decided to keep instead of having pulled. If I end up having a filling AND later having it extracted, I'm going to be a bit annoyed. I hope my dentist doesn't do a half-assed job on the filling. He thinks I should just have my wisdom teeth extracted. I started reading a new book called Something Borrowed, which is about a girl who sleeps with her pregnant best friend's fiance. It had good reviews, but so far it is just boring, (not boring enough to put me to sleep though! Rats!) At least the Sho

Not "Baaad" Sundays Blog Hop

Better late than never, right? P.S. I'm feeling much better. I think my bummed-out mood was mostly caused by a weird health thing that happened last week (not that turning 30 wasn't kind of a bummer too though, but it's nothing a little cake and birthday freebies can't fix!)

Peeps Cuteness - A Healthy Nest Cookies Recipe

Did SNL ever make an Easter version of that Christmas song? You know, like "I don't care what your mama says, Easter is full of chee-er". Or something like that. I'm rambling because it snowed last night and is still snowing this morning. Even though it's my day off. Apparently, the weather doesn't care that I purchased the Bossypants audio book and have been planning for 2 weeks to listen to it while walking today. I suppose technically there's no reason to cancel my walk and stay in my pajamas all day just because of a little snow... It's probably icy though. Better not chance it. On to the Easter goodness! "Peep! Peep!" What You'll Need (makes 10 super-cute Peeps nests) 7oz melted chocolate chips (approximately 1 1/4 cups) 5oz Fiber One bran cereal (or similar)(Chinese Noodles should work just fine as well) 10 Peeps chicks 20-30 Jelly Beans Not a photo of worms in a bowl, I promise! Combine the melted chocola

Who's Ready to Blog Hop? :)

Guess what? We're going to London! Guess what else? We might be moving for a year...so Sexy Nerd can go to Harvard! He is such a nerd. I love that crazy guy. Things are going pretty well over here.  Have a great weekend, my bloggy friends!

The Sweetest Crime

At work today, one of my coworkers took a bite from a doughnut, then put it back into our shared box and abandoned it. Just, you know, throwing that out there. Also, I'm concerned someone might think it was me. (It wasn't!) You know I've never met a doughnut I didn't finish.

Are You Ready for a BLOG HOP?

(I am! I am!) It's been so nice and toasty here in Albuquerque that I thought we might get to skip winter this year. Unfortunately, the temperature right now is in the 30s. So much for wishful thinking! Have a fun - and WARM - weekend, everyone!

Pre-Wedding Hawaii Ramblings

We had a looooong flight. Getting from Albuquerque to Oakland was fine, (other than having to get up at 3am!) Getting from Oakland to Honolulu was a different story. First, SN realized that I had been assigned a seat and he had not, next our flight was delayed 2 hours, and when we finally boarded the plane, we had to wait on the runway another 1/2 hour because of bad weather. Oh yeah, and the $5 ice cream I bought at the airport was terrible. WE ARE HAPPY THOUGH!  :)  :)   :)  Everyone is getting along and we have been having a wonderful time. We saw a monk seal on the beach and ate lunch at a really tasty bakery today. We barbequed last night and went swimming tonight. There is some big news - no more Captain Howie! That's right, after an entire year of planning, we decided to scrap the entire Captain Howie/Kualoa Ranch wedding at the last moment and planned an entirely different wedding in just a few hours. I'll post more about that another time though. We're getting up e
