my best friend's belly
Today was Kerry's first baby shower! The girls over at Pinks & Blues (the fabulous ladies that created the Virtual Baby Shower in which Kerry was a finalist) are hosting a Blogger Baby Bump Watch, so I thought I would enter Kerry in this fun little game!
Here's the hot mama (at 27 weeks) at her first shower!

let there be light
our new bedroom light fixture! We had to special order it, so we waited for awhile to do so.... and the wait was worth it!
Oh and I can't believe I haven't mentioned American Idol... I just finished watching tonight.... I wasn't a fan of Amanda, so I'm happy. I'm going for Brooke... representing the nannies! I really like most of them, though, I think this is def the best season yet!

time on my hands
I have this whole week off... and I've been trying to keep busy. I'm not used to having free time like this, so I've been trying to get stuff done and spend time with friends.... and savor this time!
Ryan and I FINALLY framed and hung the watercolored pictures we got in Venice... 3 1/2 years ago!!! They looked so pretty I couldn't NOT share...
My sis came over to watch AI with me tonight (Ryan's working) and wrapped Mink in a blanket before she left...
He sat there forever just watching tv! I was cracking up... all alone, laughing at my cats. Hmmmm:)

50 things about me!
Kim tagged me for this one, I can't think of many truly "interesting" things... so I'll just write what comes to mind!
1. I love tea, but not sweetened tea.
2. I am an organization freak... I can't stand clutter.
3. I love candles.
4. I usually have to look at the keys when I type.
5. It takes me forever to get ready for bed, I don't know why but I hate it and I procrastinate so much when I'm doing it.
6. I used to model when I was little, hehe!!!!
7. I'm trying to learn to sew again.
8. I have lots of little methods of doing things... many of these little quirks have to do with the number 5 (yes, I know I have OCD).
9. I studied psychology in college and wanted to be a school psychologist.
10. I've wanted to work with children for as long as I can remember.
11. I love country music.
12. I would love to have twins, or more! :)
13. I HATE when people mix black and brown (clothing-wise).
14. In my freshman year of college, I was a redhead, brunette, and blond!
15. I am very loyal.
16. I think way too much... but then sometimes, not enough.
17. For as particular as I am, you'd think I'd have a better memory!
18. I was potty trained at 19 months.
19. To make up for the ease given to my mother by being potty trained so early, I stopped napping as soon as I turned two (I always have had to make everything even I guess, including good and bad things, sorry Mom!)!!
20. I hate snow, but I like looking at it.
21. I got a 4.0 ONCE in college... my last semester! I finally got it together.
22. I played the flute for over 7 years, but I haven't picked it up in a long time. :(
23. I also played the violin, that didn't last long.
24. I used to sing solos a lot in church, now I wouldn't sing alone for even 1 person.
25. I don't get sick a lot (hello, working with kids for 7 years) but when I do get sick it's BAD.
26. I have a lot of close friends, and I never take for granted how lucky I am to have each of them.
27. I knew I was going to marry my husband days into our relationship.
28. I love my husband and family so much more than I ever thought possible.
29. I used to love origami (nerd).
30. I love gold things... the color, not necessarily the actual metal.
31. I have to have my planner with me at all times and write down everything.
32. I love coupons and deals, and whenever I make out really well on a shopping spree I have to add up what everything actually cost and the price for everything on sale, then find out the difference.
33. I have a "bad side" that I try to avoid taking pictures on.
34. I am a list freak, sometimes if I'm making a list of things I have to do I write down things I've already done and cross them off.
35. I'm not a big napper, and I won't go to bed at might until I'm so tired that I know I'll fall right asleep.
36. I love girly things (A LOT).
37. However, I'm a tomboy at heart and love getting my hands dirty.
38. I wish I was better at photography.
39. I once tripped up the stairs in high school in front of a boy who I had a crush on (and who actually dated me after the fact!)!!
40. I also tripped in front of ALL the wedding guests at a wedding I was in recently... but it wasn't fully my fault. ;)
41. I love roadtrips.
42. I actually really like to clean!
43. I HATE making up the bed... not making it, but changing the sheets, especially with our monster bed!
44. I LOVE to dress up, probably because I never have a reason to on a day to day basis!
45. I will never forget how my poppa used to say "hi, Ashee!"
46. I used to take ballet... and I still can't help but dance if there is a big hardwood floor sprawled in front of me.
47. I used to be obsessed with Tetris.
48. I owned a Tamagotchi (well, I still do, but it died long ago).
49. I LOVE giving gifts and finding cool wrapping paper/bags.
50. I went to Barbados when I was 16 on a missions trip with my youth group and snorkeled over a shipwreck and almost drowned because of the undertoe at the beach.
Wow! A lot easier than I thought it would be! Anyone else care to play?

Aunt Leelah and Uncle Ry
babygirl (mom and dad in the background)
proud grandma and grandpa
poor Hudson... Ryan is so mean to you!
Aunt Ash and Dylan Elise
night night!
Aunt Lolo... if you're reading this.... WE MISS YOU!!!!! Dylan was asking for you today;)

saturday babble
Today was so fun. Though I did not go to the gym (bad), I was able to go shopping and spend some quality time with one of my bestest friends Alyssa. I got some great (expensive) jeans for supercheap and more stuff for fun projects, including more trim for the window treatments for the kitchen that my mom and I (well, mostly my mom!) made last weekend.
And we finally re-hung the light fixture in the kitchen, so tall friends who come over need not live in fear of smacking their heads on the light anymore! I'm now (impatiently) waiting for Ryan to finish up his appointment for the afternoon (even though it's 7:30 now!) so we can go over to the Kellers and get the party started! Happy Saturday (well, what's left of it)!
