I’ve said it before and I will say it again. I have theeeeeeeee best readers in all of the internets!
Thank you for your nice, kind words. Not one of you said, “Yeah, your arms look like a linebackers!”
I want to say life is back to normal again, but it’s not. We’ve got that ‘after wedding’ stuff that is cluttering every single room in my house.
We decided to use the Bed, Bath and Beyond cards on organizing our pantry. Because of Big Heavy and Kami…I am now forced to cook AND bake. I also have to toss out my mother’s baking sheets she gave me 17 years ago when I moved out. When I got them they had this semi sticky black burned on film. I thought that was just the way the pan came. I used them for years and years before I bought a new pan and I burned something on the pan. I realized that the pans that my mom gave me didn’t come with that tar on them, she just never washed that crap off.
It didn’t stop me from using them and now I think It’s time to retire them and use the new ones I have.
Don’t get me started on the Pyrex dishes I never got when I moved out. Don’t ask me about the mix matched set of Pyrex dishes I have from the ‘never returning them’ when some undeserving fool brought me a meal in Pyrex.
Because of this…I will never let my Pyrex dishes that are blue (not the standard clear) out of my site. I will drummel my name in the bottom so no one steals them!
I have a bunch of random things that I keep bumping into when I try to find the chocolate in the house. Items SCREAMING at me to unpack and use.
The kids are fully recovered. Alyx and Shea have taken up to staying the night with Dan because he takes them to McDonalds in the morning for breakfast.
Kara has ditched our family for my friend, Ruka. Ruka has an adorable baby boy and Kara is loving the whole babysitting thing. Marina has been at her mom’s all week having some good ol’ mommy/daughter time. Lastly is Tyler who lost his mind the other day and thought he could just do whatever the hell he wanted and stayed the night where he was told he wasn’t allowed to.  He is now grounded and it looks like my backyard might be getting weedeated today.
OF COURSE, I’m guessing about 30 minutes into the project the weed eater will SOMEHOW break and he will have to stop his project until his dad gets home. He also knows he’s leaving for his mom’s early in the morning so he won’t have to finish this project if the weed eater breaks.
What he doesn’t know is that his dad is beyond pissed about all the stuff he’s hearing from other people. He likes to think he’s being sneaky, but he’s not and his dad is hearing ALL about it. It’s not looking so good for the 15 year old who is trying to act like a 18 year old.
My other two babies, Earl and Randy (The Nikons- yes, we named and renamed them) did fine through the wedding. Earl (D70) did great. Randy didn’t have a battery in him and he didn’t get play. I took them over to my friend’s house for her birthday and I started to take an indoor shot and realized the flash was popping up, but not firing. Randy is only a month old and he’s already going back to the shop for repairs.
We have a wedding to shoot in August so I don’t know if I can send him off for repairs or not. Poor guy is all broken.
You guys haven’t even asked about SPF and honestly I had forgotten it until 6:22 am this morning.
How about this:Â Post a picture of your feet.
I have avoided this one for almost a year because someone begged me not to do it. It’s time. SHOW ME YOUR PIGGIES!!!

Tyler…in trouble?
WTF?
He had a temporary lapse in judgement.
That’s all.
Right Tyler?
And it is funny you mention the weed eater.
Spencer did the same thing yesterday. He was ask to do that when he got home and when we got home the weed eater was sitting in the yard in 2 pieces and he was asleep.
Fuck.
His temporary laps of judgement has been going on for a solid month now.
He just came in and informed me that the most important part of the weedeater doesn’t work. Do they think we are stupid? That’s what I want to know.
NOTE TO MOTHER: I’m sorry I thought you were stupid.
Ugh. Teenagers. Mine went over to a friends to ‘hang’ and didn’t even call until after 11.
OH crap. Can Nik just stay 4?
PIGGIES? But God made me special!!!! My feet have ISSUES. Shit.
You need to give a girl some warning! My toes are totally buck naked! And I don’t have time for a pedicure between now and tomorrow! aaahhhhhhh!!!
:-)
“His temporary laps of judgement has been going on for a solid month now.”
Yeah…I have a 17 year old, I understand!
WHO CALLED IT?? I DID!!
It’s 12:01 and it ‘never really worked right’. Backyard NEVER got done.
Yea I can play this week. thank you for making it so easy, I love you Kristine!
Oh the teenage years I am forever indebted to my mother for not killing me for all the stupid shit I pulled and also thinking she was stupid!
Summers babysitting were the best!
Have a great day and you looked fabulous on your wedding day!
Tootsies!!!!!!!!
I just did a post about my foot the other day, and after two doctors exams, a shoe salesman, and my morning walks around the block, my feet are not happy. Not ready for pictures!
Please don’t feel like I’m dissing your idea too hard, which is fine for folks who have nice looking toesies.
I also refuse to participate in the footwashing ceremony on Maundy Thursday, and my bedmate will concur that my feet and the blankets have a nightly battle.
New Brown Shoes
So this was going to be the week that I resumed playing…but my feet? Oh you don’t understand how horrible they are. People will run screaming from their desks in pain!! LOL
I’ll think about it I guess….
I wasn’t going to bug you for SPF this week.
And, sorry to hear the boy is being a normal teenager. I dread those years and they are just around the corner for me. Yikes. Good luck with that.
The temporary lack of judgement should only last 4 years or so, right?
Tyler’s a nice boy, don’t pick on him.
It must be in the water. My 14 year old daughter is some big trouble also.
I meant she is IN some big trouble. Not that she is big trouble. I am not that bad a mom, geesh.
Nobody said your arms look like a linebackers because THEY DON’T! :) Even if they did, of course no one would say it because we all love you, but they don’t anyway. You were absolutely gorgeous in every last picture.
Want to know how lame I am today?
I got a corner of my business card caught in my back tooth.
most people use dental floss…I use everything BUT dental floss.
I just wanted to say that I love you.
YOU want me to send you some proper floss, honey?
I agree with Recovering Straight Girl.
Pyrex dishes…you are a married woman now! Look at you talking all domesticated and stuff…
That “temporary lapse in judgement” comes with being a teenager. Some kids go through their teen years without lapses and other’s don’t.
Nip it in the bud!
BTW, you looked beautiful in your dress! Just beautiful!
Family life is happening…ahhh growing pains. Not wanting to use the weed eater is classic..my mom used to make us mow and weed eat – so we “broke the weed eater” thinking that would keep us from having to do it. Nope – we got to pull the weeds by hand from aroud all the buildings on the farm. Or the other punishment of choice was shoveling manure.
I must admit I was happy to see you had a task set up for us!
Hi Gorgeous. This one was popular. I just now played, sorry lol. Love the Andy Warhol way of getting out of REALLY showing us your feet.
