Project 52: TWENTY THREE

HA! Bet you thought I was a quitter!! Half way through?? No freakin' way!! Just got into a little argument with my MAC is all. See I was up late (as I usually am when I'm blogging) and I went to upload pictures off my camera card. Well this damn fancy computer has no tower. Everything you need is right here on the monitor. So I just slid my little memory card into the little slot all blind like I usually do and holy shit, I slipped it into the CD drive. Whoops! Well no biggie right? I could still visualize the little sucker. So I used this little plastic envelope opener to try to flick it out. Whoops. Wedged the M F'er in a little further. So then I tried to shake it out. Yup. I picked this whole bad boy up and turned it on it's side all while cursing it's stupid little slots you can't even see well. Didn't work. So then I snapped back to reality and decided to wake up Ryan. Real sweet like. Begged him not to be mad. Blamed it all on Apple's minimalist style and stupid placement of holes. Ryan ever so sweetly wakes up and says, "Yeah Amy, you're a genius. You got it all figured out. You've outsmarted Apple. You should really get with their engineering department to discuss logistics". ha guess I should have waited till morning! Well thank the Lord my sweet husband has more patience and better ideas than me. He whipped together a real fancy little tool (a paper wedge) and slipped my little memory card right out of the slot. Everything is back in working order. Praise the Lord. P52 it's on!

User error? I think not. 

Bachelorette- Metallic Mondays

Well I feel so out of touch! I hate to have missed last week but the days just got away from me. Such is the blessings of summer. So here goes. 

1. Good riddance Ryan. I just couldn't take your shit anymore either. I was so confused by his ever changing facial hair patterns.  I'm sure by now he's all signed up to be Augusta's newest Bachelor. Wow, lucky ladies. Maybe they can borrow his turquoise shoes. 

2. Chris I'm starting to want to punch you in the face. Such a little twerp needing to prove himself so damn bad. Love how the camera pans to the double rainbow during his "special time" with Emily. Message received. This whole segment really bugged the shit out of me. What is with making these group dates as unbearable as possible? Let's all watch a bunch of grown men watch another classically untamable red head carve her own path... wait didn't they make that movie already?? Annie? Guess ABC is hard up for the cash. Someone has to pay these private tutors for Ricki. 

3. Doug you got schooled. That was bad. Real bad. Pretty much the least sexual person on the show- ever. Thank God you already have a son or I might be questioning your abilities. Whatever, I said it. 

Really looking forward to next week and this Arie break down. I'm thinking it's kinda doomed with him being Ricky 2.0 anyhow. Who is in your top 3? I'm guessing in no particular order:

1. Sean

2. Jef

3. ???

Master Bedroom- Frickin Done Already

Well as you may remember, I did a big wall renovation to our master bedroom. I had a few LITTLE (haha) projects to finish and I'm pretty much done or as my husband puts it "we're frickin done with this shit". So here's the wrap up. Remember the little nightstands from Round Top? They got cleaned up and painted green.

Then I turned this old brass lamp that was my grandfather's into a nickel one all with the magic of spray paint and a little helper. (Just throw some primer on there and then the color of your choosing and you are good to go- yup, it's that simple). 

I also added some curtains from World Market, a new lamp (a second one is on order for Ryan's side) and a new coverlet and shams to the bed. So here's a before and a couple afters.

Project 52: TWENTY TWO

"MOM TAKE MY PICTURE!" Look at my sweet girl. I just can't get enough of that little face. I love her hair in her mouth and her little baby teeth. Still has drool on her t-shirt and probably has to pee from the looks of it. She just cracks me up. Every little bit of it.

Bachelorette- Girl Ain't No Fool

OK I'm dying to know what are your 3 things... I know you are all busy shouting at your tvs so do share!

1. For Nate:


He's lucky because I'm this close to picking on his masculinity. Instead, we'll go with his fascination for and mispronunciation of quinoa.

2. Every time I see Emily I think of my sweet sweet friend Annie. And every time I see Ryan, I think of Annie's husband, Benton (only he's much more sincere and definitely not a douchebag). Am I right or am I right?

3. Running man. Yes. I like this girl more and more. Minus the fake hair in the pony. 

4. (because I just had to) Is anyone else watching Chris Harrison to see if he is still wearing his ring???

The Bachelorette:

1. Immediately busted my guts laughing when Emily's mom serves her breakfast in bed. You've gotta be kidding me with that voice. I know I know it's cruel, but all I could think of was Marge Simpson's sisters... you decide. 2 pack a day habit yo. 

2. So I thought her besties were hilarious. They seemed pretty normal in that they were all a little weird. Best part is when her friend says in front of Ryan, "hey when she gets pregnant, she could blow up like a tick!" hahaha First of all the visual of a tick is just so COUNTRY. It drinks up all your blood and balloons up to this. 

Now mention that to her new boyfriend in reference to your future children. Awkward. That is until his reaction is straight up fucked. Home boy says you can't ever get fat. I mean who wants to get fat? Who wants their spouse to want them to get fat? But seriously, isn't that an unspoken rule? And Eff you if you're in this for my jean size.  

3. Kalon, maybe one of them ril fancy brands you done werk for wuld give you sum socks?

Project 52: TWENTY ONE

So where the hell have I been? I know, right. Been thinking the same thing. Shit my life has been all over Texas the last few weeks. I'm exhausted. Kids damn near made me crazy. It's been one event to the next here at the Moody house. Lots of fun stuff going on from a wedding (shout out LAURA) to book club to the lake. We've done it all. I've been trying to think of a picture that sums up what I'm grateful for this week and there's a lot of big things, BUT there's this one little thing that keeps popping up... new shoes. I just can't tell you how much I have had to fight over shoes in the last 3 months. With who? Ryan? No. Rhett? Couldn't be. Ella Jane. That little 3 year has brought me to my knees more times than I can count in just the last month over this. "Ella baby pleaaaase put on your shoes. Put on your shoes. Please put on your shoes. Put on your DAMN (*under my breath* usually) SHOES!!!! PICK A PAIR! Ok any pair but those. Oh Lord please let me throw those away. Honey this is a hole. Your teachers said no more boots at school. Ella no flip flops to soccer." Get my point? It goes on AND on AND on. SO FINALLY, my awesome neighbor, Shanna, told me about Keens. They are like sneakers and sandals and good for water. They are pricey but shoot if they aren't sturdy. So out with the old (and the holes) and in with the Keens. And no more fighting over shoes. Now we just fight over socks with sandals :-)
