Confession Friday

Do you remember the last time I poured my heart out to you via confession Friday? Yeah, me either but guess what...I'm going to today. Don't get too excited, not sure how great these confessions are going to be but I'll try to make 'em good!

I confess that I was checking out my "stats" for the blog and one of the search phrases that brought someone to this little 'ole blog was "crazy pregnant lady". O.M.G. I almost peed myself when I read that! Hilarious!

I confess that I am totally the mom that lets her kids play with inappropriate things. For instance, in Carson's almost 5 months of being around he has already played with plastic bags, sale ads, napkins and most recently french fries. The plastic bag was obviously his favorite!

And yes, I let him eat the paper too but no, I don't let him actually swallow it. Geeze, what kind of mom do you think I am?

I confess that for the last couple of days I have been really crampy {is that even a real word} & bloated but I couldn't figure out why. Then, all of a sudden the light bulb clicked....I'm going to be getting my period. It has been so long since I've had it that I totally forgot everything that comes along with it and I'm just going to add that I didn't miss any of it. 

I confess that I now have an instagram account. I mean, did I really need it, no but why not add one more thing to become addicted huh? {username is mpflueger09....just in case you wanted to follow}

I confess that the following convo actually took place between Ryan & I after he saw that I bought a new "tummy sucker" {aka spanx}:

R: what is that?

M: it's to suck all of my fat in

R: you don't need that, you lost all of your fat already

M: no, I really do need it. I could lift my shirt up and jiggle it all for you but that's not sexy

R: could you do it anyway?

And in case you were wondering, no I did not jiggle my fat for him because it is in fact not sexy!

I confess that I got some Jergens Natural Glow lotion so I could get some color on my pasty self before having to wear a dress this weekend. I also bought the one for "medium to dark" complexion instead of the "fair to medium" one that I really should have gotten and I might have said a little prayer to the self tanning Gods that I would not regret this decision as I put it in my cart. So far they have answered my prayer.

I confess that I took the boys to one of those picture places in the mall because I got an awesome deal through Groupon but while I was there I had this horribly feeling like I was cheating on the photographer that I usually use and the only thing I could think of was "I hope she doesn't find out about this". However, I ended up with this caaaaauuuttteee picture of the boys.

I confess that after reading Erin's blog about buying this super cute one shoulder, striped dress, I knew that I had to have it. So I went the very next day to buy it. No joke, literally the very next day I was at Kohl's, 30% off coupon in hand, with that exact dress in my hands. Yes, I am a complete copy cat. 

I confess that after I got home with the dress mentioned above I realized that I don't really have any shoes to go with it. Don't you worry though, thanks to Payless having their bogo sale, momma's gonna have some cute wedges in the very near future to wear with it. The problem is this, I don't know what color to get.

Red 

or

Yellow

Or maybe both?!

Happy Friday!! 

I Couldn't Breathe

So, as you all know yesterday was our anniversary and I mentioned something about wanting to strangle my wonderful husband's neck on our wedding day and since one person asked why I thought I would just let everyone in on what happened. Just in case you don't know the story.

The short version of the story is this: somewhere in between the ceremony & reception {on the bus & at the bar} there was a lot of alcohol consumed. All kinds of alcohol {lots of wild turkey to be exact}. The alcohol consumption continued at the reception. At around 8:30 my new husband was out in the parking lot, puking his guts up {multiple times from what I hear, I refused to go see him} and then he proceeded to pass out, in the back of a truck {not sure who's truck it was}. I didn't see him again until the next morning. Why didn't I see him until the next morning, well that is because I never went outside to see him after he passed out {mainly because nothing good would have come form it} and he went home with is parents on our wedding night while I went home, by myself. 

Not going to lie, it was rough for a while after the wedding. Some people even thought that I was going to divorce him and his own sister said that I should get an annulment. I can completely laugh about it now and I like giving him a hard time about it sometimes too! Man is he lucky I love him!  

Last night to celebrate our anniversary we went out to eat since my mom is in town and she offered to babysit. And boy do we know how to be romantic....we ended up at Buffalo Wild Wings! Nothing screams romance like a sports/hot wings place. Which by the way was my idea, they have the best fried mushrooms and I was craving them big time!

We had a couple of these

bud light for him, twisted margarita for me

Ryan stuffed his face with this

That would be two hamburger patties stuffed with a piece of steak & some onion rings with some kind of honey bbq sauce all over it....it was right up his ally. I however stuck with the grilled chicken wrap with some spicy garlic sauce & of course the fried garlic mushrooms with some kind of southwest ranch, which was ah.maz.ing. Highly recommend it! 

After we got home for the night, I dragged my wedding dress out. I was determined to try it on, whether is was 10:30 pm or not! 

The verdict of the dress....it zipped up!! It was snug, I couldn't really breathe very well but it zipped! 

 It definitely didn't help that I had two margs, fried mushrooms and a chicken wrap before I trying it on but it did feel good knowing that it zipped. Hopefully the next time I decide to try it on I will be able to breathe a little easier with it on!!

Three Years

Three years ago today I became a Mrs. 

Although there are times that I want to strangle that man like no other {especially the very day we got hitched, just ask anyone who was there}, I wouldn't trade the last 3 years for anything!

 Happy Anniversary to my main man! xoxo

For some reason, I got the wild idea that I want to try my dress on today, you know to either make myself feel like a fat cow for not fitting into it or to give myself a total confidence boost for being able to zip it all the way up. I'll let you know how it goes! :)

Step 1: Pin

Will someone please tell me that I am not the only person alive that pins all kinds of stuff on Pinterest and then doesn't do anything with it after I pin it?!

Actually, I do try quite a few of the things I pin but mostly just recipes and to be perfectly honest with you, not all of them have been the greatest. Which makes me wonder why I even think they sound good in the first place. 

One of the most recent recipes that I tried was this...

Philly Cheese Steak Sloppy Joes

I was really excited about trying this one. Hello, it has a cheese sauce to go with it! Who doesn't love a good cheese sauce?! Despite my excitement, it was a major fail. I don't know why but it just didn't taste good and  it was kinda lacking flavor all together....yes, even with the cheese on top of it! I had it for leftovers the next day and it was just as bad then, actually probably worst because the cheese sauce did not melt very good & was kinda gross. But by all means, if you think you will like it feel free to try it out!

Remember these shoes? Well they are super cute and super comfy but they were pretty snug in the toe area. What new shoes aren't right? Well I'm going to be wearing those bad boys to a wedding, which means I will be wearing them all.day.long. and I knew that I had to stretch them out somehow if my feet were going to survive. So I searched it on Pinterest and came across this....

Via

You have no idea how freakin excited I was when I saw this, seriously, so excited!  I tried the ice method and it worked! I will probably do this to every new pair of shoes that I get that need a little stretching out. I know you have a pair that need to be stretched out to, go do this to them pronto, I promise you will thank me afterwards!

So far, this is by far my all time favorite thing that I have tried from Pinterest. 

Strawberry cupcakes made with Diet 7UP!! Seriously, these things were ah.maz.ing and since the soda is diet, not a lot of calories either! It is oh so easy to do, all you need is a box of cake mix and 12 ounces of diet 7UP, mix together and bake the cupcakes! I have only tried it with the strawberry flavored cake mix but I'm dying to try it with the funfetti kind...because even though I'm 27, that is still my favorite kind of cake.

Now go make yourself some cupcakes made with 7UP while you are waiting for your shoes to get stretched out!!
