last saturday, aidan turned 7.today, we're celebrating...frisco's first birthdayhe's lucky he's lived to see this day {not because he was from a bad breeder because he wasn't, but because of situations in his life thus far...oh, you'll see what i mean shortly}. he had a shaky start due to that whole eye business. then, just YESTERDAY he ate his first shoe. and, it wasn't just any shoe. it was a pair of my flip flops. my favorite flip flops. you would think that a new {memory foam} bed, new doggy toys AND a couple of doggy treats would have made him happy, but no...apparently the taste of rubber laced with foot funk {not that my feet are funky, but they are rubber flops...i'm just sayin'} was what he really wanted.but, i digress.he's certainly brought a lot of joy & … [Read more...]
double the birthday fun.
malia's birthday was on friday. adam's birthday is today. no parties {not yet, at least*}. no fancy dinners {chinese take-out doesn't count}. we didn't even have birthday cake. well, we had an ice cream cake on friday night for malia, so i guess that counts for something. i did bake cupcakes per malia's request on saturday afternoon, but even those were pretty much gone by the time sunday morning rolled around.as for adam's birthday, it's on a monday. we have nothing planned. honestly, the older you get, the more it just becomes another day. irregardless, i'm sure we'll do something because i certainly can't expect adam to cook dinner on his own birthday!happy birthday, l♥ve...we're finally the same age {at least for the next six months...ha!}.*malia's actual birthday celebration … [Read more...]

I ♥ jet noise.
It's Fleet Week here in Hampton Roads.The almost two week long event {which also happens to coincide with the Navy's birthday...it's 234 years young!} is drawing to a close this weekend & what better way to end the fun than with a good ole air show.Yes, boys & girls, it's that time of year again...bring on the NAS Oceana's air show. Even though the weather is seriously crappy {it's gonna be a wash out this weekend}, the planes are still flying around & practicing their funky maneuvers. Roads are closed {joy} and traffic is terrible {double joy}.But, at least seeing the Blue Angels flying by makes for some fun driving around town {and, no, I normally do not take pics while driving nor do I text while driving for that matter either}! Please excuse the crummy quality of the camera … [Read more...]
Weekend Recap
It's Monday {again}. I'm another year older. And, I'm already yearning for the weekend. It's sad what my life has succumbed to. Just kidding, just kidding...I'm just feeling exceptionally melodramatic today for some reason. I really shouldn't considering I had myself a pumpkin spice latte courtesy of Starbucks this morning {I received two $20 gift cards to Starbucks for my birthday...my girlfriends know what I *need*!}.Anyways...here's a rundown of my weekend in as few bullets as possible:Friday was the birthday. My birthday. After a day of working & some husband-induced stress {and a good cry...oh!}, we headed out for a fun dinner with friends & family at Shogun. We requested our favorite teppanyaki chef, Petey, and had a very yummy dinner & a big pot of sake. After … [Read more...]
