Adoption update: no news to report. The lady we need to talk to is out of the country. :/ Will post as soon as I can. :)

I have been redecorating and painting the play room. To give you an idea of what it will look like when I post pics in a few days, here is a preview:

Jersey helping Daddy with the playroom art...
Tada... we have other names ready to go... just don't want to add them till we get the babies. :) The blue and orange are on the walls in the play room. :) Stay tuned for a painted, and further updated playroom post! :)

Bling

Nothing new to report... just blinged Red Sox stuff as promised the other day! :)

My Blinged bag...
My hat for the big game... blinged ;)
TOTALLY CAN'T WAIT!!!

I had a piece of foam board left over from another project that I was using to protect my table from the hot glue gun. PK was bored... obviously, but look what he did. ♥

Whirlwind

Yesterday was a whirlwind to say the least.

First of all, let me elaborate about the news from yesterday, (see below). Ok, so it is 7AM, and I am asleep. I am fighting off something, and the only way to keep my body from succumbing to it is to sleep. Anyway, I was looking to sleep in till at least 10. Well, I am the lightest sleeper in the whole world! If you call me in the morning and I don't answer, it is not cause I didn't hear it- it is because if I do answer it, then there is like a 99% chance that after said conversation I will be fully awake and unable to fall back asleep.

Anyway, I get a call from Paul at 7AM. After my sister's accident, my first thought for phone calls at weird times is tragedy. When I pick up he says, "I have great news for you!" I thought to myself, "I'm gonna kill him!"

Ok, let me explain. When PK says I have good news, I used to get excited. That was until I learned that good news usually isn't good news, (ie, a raise, babies, etc), it is usually, "I found a new recipe to try," or "I found this awesome steel frame for our future future house," etc.

So, when I hear him say he has good news, my first instinct is, great wake me up for nothing- now I'll never get back to sleep- this really couldn't have waited till 10???

Then he drops the good news, which I promise I will share with y'all asap!!! And believe me, if it all works out, IT IS UNBELIEVABLY AMAZING NEWS!!! Totally worth not going back to sleep yesterday!!!!

With hearing this wonderful news, I had an amazing day- except for one glitch. A pretty big one actually- hence whirlwind.

Meet Angelica. If you have been reading for awhile, you have probably met her before. She is my mom's Yorkie mix. Jersey amazes me everyday with his intelligence! BUT, Angelica has him beat in one area: obedience. Jersey is very obedient, but Angelica is crazy obedient! Seriously, it amazes me! She is an awesome dog aside from her obedience- she is so sweet!!! Well, yesterday morning, SHE WAS SHOT!!!

She is alive.. she was shot in the leg. A neighbor "accidentally" shot her while she was in my MOM'S yard... in Pecan Grove- UMM RESIDENTIAL AREA??? 2 different vets said that it had to be a 22!!! Are you kidding me??? This guy better get in some kind of trouble for this!!!
Can you believe this? Luckily it missed bone... still they had to dig it out of muscle, etc. Poor baby!


Just to show you how easily amused I am, and how my brain works... look at what I noticed yesterday:
No, it's not 40,707... it says our anniversary: April 7, 2007.

I'm a dork. Get over it. ;)

Please pray for Angelica and for our adoption news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wicked Awesome

In honor of our trip to New England in April, and for the RED SOX GAME- I made a bag...
I took a canvas bag and a Red Sox Tshirt... I thought a lot about how to do it, and as I always do with my projects, I threw caution to the wind and...

dove in! First I cut the sleeves, then the collar...
Then I hot glued it to the canvas bag...
Half way there... just need to do more cutting, folding, gluing, and trim...
TADA! Wicked awesome, right? :) This weekend I will be adding bling to it, and will post updated pics of it then. :)


Ok, so as I was planning this post I knew I would call it "Wicked Awesome," seeing as my bag is awesome and made on honor of Boston, but little did I know that this post would be holding some WICKED AWESOME news!!!

WICKED AWESOME ADOPTION NEWS THAT IS!!!

Ok, so I can't tell you anything about it yet, but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be praying for this WICKED AWESOME opportunity! Paul called me this morning with WICKED AWESOME news, so WICKED AWESOME, that I could not go back to sleep!!! We will be getting more info on Sunday. This seems too good to be true, but I have faith and hope that this might actually work out!!! Please pray and I will keep you posted as soon as I know more! AHHH!!! ♥

Hi, my name is Tricia and I am a Gleek

Ok, so Glee has already had a full season run, and I am just now on the bandwagon. If you remember this post, you will understand why.

I borrowed season 1 from my sister, and Monday I had a Glee marathon. IT WAS AWESOME! So, I will not be buying the series or anything, but to watch it once or twice is fun. I watched it by myself cause Paul is not the musical type, but lo and behold, when he caught a glimpse of it he too was hooked. HA! He and I agree that it would be awesome if life were a musical!

This video is from my favorite episode, and it is how I got Paul hooked. We have been singing this song for the past 3 days, and we don't even like it! If you haven't seen the show, this episode, or you haven't seen this since it aired, you MUST WATCH IT! NOW! :)

I Found America's Next Top Model(s)

While we are all hurting for Haiti I thought a fun post would be in order.

When I was younger I watched TLCs Trading Spaces all the time, hence why I love to decorate so much. Well the girls I nanny for watch America's Next Top Model, hence why they look like this:






Wow, right? :) While my awesome camera and artwork in photoshop sure help to inhance the photos, but they have the model faces down! :)

Saturday I think we are doing another photoshoot, so stay tuned! ;)

COME ON!!!

Dear Haitian and American government, please allow me to go to Haiti and bring home some of the suffering orphans. What good is it doing to leave them there when I have a home for them here? Why all the red tape when they are in a situation like this?

I found these pics on Google search. These were taken before the TWO EARTH QUAKES. Imagine these children and the poverty now.




My personal favorite. Look at how beautiful they are! Ugh, simply gorgeous!

I would give anything to fly to Haiti and bring home some orphans with me. NOW!
