{Insert Witty Blog Title Here}

My Tuesday was pretty uneventful.. Addy has Vacation Bible School this week, so she is gone in the mornings. I decided to head to Birmingham to take some stuff back to Express- like my Vegas outfit. All that stress and I didn't even wear the darn thing. Oh well. 

I picked some things up for myself...

Trixie wanted to be in the picture...

One without Trixie



  Oh yeah. I picked up this. 

Now, maybe you're saying, "Rach, why would you buy this right before Father's Day??" And that's when I would tell you this long story. This IS Philly's Fathers Day present. As seeing as it was a surprise, I was trying to hide me going and getting it. I called the Apple Store on Monday and they said they had the 16GB, white, wifi ipads in, but it didn't guarantee that they would still be there on Tuesday. I took the chance and waited until Tuesday. Jana met me over there, and I went in and asked for my iPad, only to be told that they didn't have them in anymore. They had it in black or they had a 32 GB in white. It was $100 more. I didn't mind spending the extra $$, but wasn't sure if Philly needed the 32. After some fretting and texts, I decided to make the judgement call and ruin the surprise for John (I had been planning and saving for this for MONTHS.) (P.S. let's talk about how John jerked his iPad out of my hands Monday night. B/c I picked it up to look up something when he got up...uh yeah. He almost didn't get this iPad.) 

Anyway, he told me that the 32 was actually what he needed- which he told me before he wanted the 16. So, I ended up getting him what he needed. And Now he gets to play with it. And I ruined the surprise for nothing. 

And now I get this: 
Guilt free book reading... maybe I'll start jerking the new iPad out of his hands just for fun!

The girls approve


 Side story. 

Claire went with me to Birmingham and when we got to Bed Bath and Beyond, she told me she needed to go potty. Which was cool. We go in, I pull her undies down and she's has an accident. Skid marks. So, I have to take her undies off of her and I didn't want to put those panties in the trash can. It was dry, so I stuck the panties IN. MY. PURSE. and put her shorts back on her and luckily, I had brought some extra undies and clothes in the car, so I had to wait until I got outside to put undies on her. Lesson learned- Keep clean undies in your purse for your children. 

Welcome to Motherhood!

Christmas Wish List... 2010

This years list is pretty simple. As I am a simple gal with simple tastes... (okay okay, y'all stop laughing...) 

I do need a ROAD ID for my outdoor running... Not sure if I want to bracelet or the shoe tie thing, but you can be the judge!



I would also like a running skirt.. size medium please! And maybe some capri tights and a running jacket? 



I am always up for some Sephora Gift Cards! 





A Nathan water bottle.. I get really thirsty on those not so long runs!


Here is the lens I am drooling over at the moment... The Nikon 105mm Micro.. oohh baby! 




It should be a crime for how much I love Z Gallerie.. Really. It should. This bedding? Please come to live with me!



And these pillows? Perfect for my living room!


I also desperately need a foam roller.. You don't want me to injure myself running do you? You don't want that on your conscious. 


Let's not forget a sweaty band to help hold my crazy hair away from my face!



If you really want to be my friend... you can get me this..


13 in Macbook Air... Ooohhh... Love. 

I will also take iTunes gift cards, Victorias Secret gift cards, Forever 21 gift cards, and Target gift cards. :)

Happy Shopping!

First Project of the 2010...

As you may know by now, we are headed to Cali on Tuesday for the National Title game against Texas. I needed an outfit with style. I had seen a SUPER cute jersey at the SEC Championship that have BLING all inside the numbers. I was smitten. I said right then and there, that will be in January. So, here is the plain jersey. Not near as cute as it turns out! I really wanted #13 because if we win, it will be Alabama's 13th National Championship. But, no go. So I settled for our first Heisman winner, Mark Ingram, #22.

Here is the nice Hot Tool that I had to purchase to do this...

It took 2 hours to place and secure the jewels on there, and I couldn't let my hard work go to waste, so I wore it to lunch.. and some of them fell off!!

This is me, working hard... which, this is also the first picture of my Project 365 I am doing!

Let's hope these stay on, but I guess the Hot Tool will be coming with me to Cali.

Happy New Year!!
