This was the question of the weekend. In preparation for an upcoming trip to Las Vegas, my husband kindly asks me if I think I can hang like you used to. Context meaning, can I still party like a rock star for an extended long period of time with out being an old lady. He has had more of an opportunity to test his limits than I have lately, I mean, one of us has to be the responsible one right? We do have a child after all. Although, I wouldn’t mind going on a drinking bender every once…
Tangerine Mint Cocktail
0Since I am on this Dr. Oz Weight-orade kick, I have an over-abundance of both mint and tangerine. So keeping with this fat-burning, metabolism-boosting theme, I tried to mix up a little concoction with one of my favorite alcoholic beverages, Champagne. Well…Prosecco to be exact. Fresh juiced tangerines mixed with some bubbly and mint make for a very refreshing drink that would be perfect for happy hour or brunch! Tangerine Mint Cocktail serves 2 4 Tangerines, juiced (should equal to 1 cup) Handful of mint, chopped Champagne or Prosecco slices of tangerine and/or mint sprigs for garnish Cut each tangerine in…
I Hate You, Ugly Toy Pile.
0I don’t know what it is, maybe it’s the fact I’ve been gone all weekend and away from my house or that it’s freaking Monday, but I hate everything today. I woke up, looked around my room and wanted to vomit. I walked past the laundry room and saw the over flowing dirty clothes bin. Ew. I immediately slammed the door shut so I never have to see it again. Then I walk downstairs and spot this: An ugly,disorganized pile of toys. I thought that wicker basket was the best idea back when I bought it on one of my…
Must…Consume….Sugar!!
0My sugar sabbatical for 40 days is slowly coming to an end. I can’t even tell you how slowly slowly is going. I’m dying! My will power is getting the best of me. The cravings are getting worse and worse. BLEH!! I try to keep my mind off the sugar, I consume fruit to suppress the unbearable cravings. But then I look in my pantry and all I want to do is eat a fucking piece of candy!!!!!! I’ve lasted through birthday parties with tons of cookies, rice krispies treats, Twizzlers, cake pops and mounds of chocolate. I’ve lasted…
The Letter of the Day is…. E
0E for empty. Totally running on empty today and its only 10. Was awoken last night by my husband who has, what me and WebMD have diagnosed as, heat rash. Apperently, heat rash feels like prickly, stinging, annoyance on your body. He was in so much pain he was up till 3:30 am, then finally woke me up to help. I sat there on my iPad trying to figure out the best method of treatment for the extremely accurate diagnosis. First was an oatmeal bath. As easy as it sounds, its quite tedious to concoct. That took about a good…
Valentine’s Day, Schmalentine’s Day…
0Every year for the past, ohhh 6 years, my husband and I celebrated Valentine’s Day. Home cooked romantic meals, fancy nights out at expensive restaurants and sweet gifts. Last week after putting Baby A down for bed, my husband turned to me as we were both laying comatose on the couch after a long ass day and asked if we were gonna do anything on Valentine’s Day this year. My answer was less than coherent, I think it was “mehh do we have to?” To which he responded as “Good. I am really not in the mood to plan anything.”…
It’s a Walkoff.
0Baby A has officially become a walker. F$#&ing S@#$. Mother F$%#er. I thought babies were supposed to start this crap after they turned 1. Not at 10 freaking months old! She is terrorizing the entire house and running me ragged. I gotta admit, she looks so damn cute waddling around with her hands in the air. Ha! So to all you mahhhms out there that are probably laughing and pointing, knowing what lies ahead for me with this mobile beast, any advice? Any warnings? Any words of wisdom?? ANYTHING?!!!!? – Amanda
Hustle Like A Girl Scout
0No joke, these chicks are EVERY WHERE! I go to the grocery store, there they are. I go to the doctors office, there they are. I go out to eat, whattayah know, they are there, posted up right by the entrance. To every store in the entire world. Waiting, lurking with their cute little smiles and overly zealous parent chaperon. I go to great lengths to avoid these girls. But I got sucked into their web of lies and bought a box of Thin Mints. So today, my husbands friend and I were shopping and about 3 little scouts were…
May I Have…This Dance
0In efforts to make Baby A laugh last week, I started dancing like a spastic maniac around my living room. In the middle of one of my weird arm-jerking moves, I pulled a muscle in my neck and shoulder. I feel like such a tool for even saying that, but I got nothing to hide. So yesterday morning I wake up and can’t move my neck left or right and I have numbness down my entire arm. I immediately call my sister who is a Physical Therapist and she broke the news to me that I most likely have a…
Child Proofing: My Arch Nemisis
0Now that Baby A is extremely mobile, she has pretty much said screw playing with toys and hello to her new friends the smelly garbage, my expensive pots and the stair case. Oh yeah, and every single cabinet in my house. It’s really fun. That only means one thing for me to do: time to baby proof. Kill me. In AntiMom fashion, I truly hate the way those child proofing contraptions look. Hanging all over the knobs and shit, looking all plastic-y. We spent good money on our house and furniture, now I have to crap it all up. UGH!…
