Even though I am seriously missing Twitter, I must admit that not tweeting has freed up a lot of my time. I'm not saying I like it though. I still have a crazy urge to tweet (it's an addiction.) so I just saved my random thoughts to my phone with plans to copy this idea from (one of my now IRL friends) Elizabeth, who posted her would-be tweets when she completely quit Twitter last year. I'm not nearly as strong as her though and can't see myself ever completely quitting Twitter. I don't miss the random cattiness, show spoilers and the play by play tweets of every conference/game/show, etc., but I do really miss the good chats, the funnies and of course, having something to do when work is slow :)

 

So let's get to it! Here are my "tweets" from the past few days:

-----------------------------------------------

+I don't blame any of these ladies for being "fast" (to use a word from that time) - who could ever say no to Don Draper?! #madmen #hottie

 

+Couple next door has started their weekend pool parties. This is great news for the parents of the toddler who wakes up easily from naps.

 

+Also see: jealous. I want my own pool, dammit! I would be the world's crispiest tan lady if I did. #oneday

 

+Violet took like 8 steps in a row tonight and I totally screamed my head off and probably scared her. AAAGH!! :)

 

+Keeping cable another month I guess because the lady at Time Warner totally suckered me in to it. #whoops

 

+Truly truly thankful that I found @ronniecorycash and that he actually likes me back :)

 

+I'll be complaining about how stupid hot it is this summer but right now I'm seriously grateful for sandals in March.

+I've decided - V is trying to kill me. Or at least give me gray hair. Her sleeping is beyond shitty lately. She better get a new tooth out of this.

+Ronnie just made me spend $20 in ingredients for some "fat bread" he's making. And now I want to smack him in his fat head. #jk #kinda

 

+V and I are spending Sunday shopping and it's currently sunny and 58. More of this, Texas!!

 

+It's when I find crusty, dirty clothing that I remember why I don't do a lot of thrift store shopping. #gross #ididntneedtoeatlunchanyway

 

+V had never seen Yo Gabba Gabba so I put it on for her tonight - now she's obsessed and I'm incredibly annoyed. Big mistake. Huge.

-----------------------------------------------

 

Looking over these, I just wanna say to those who follow me on Twitter: Thank you.

 

How do y'all even put up with me? I'M BORING! SO boring. And SO bitchy. Enjoy your break from me ;)

 

For now, I'm still using Instagram - can't stop an obsessed mama from taking pictures of her kid!

 

Or of herself, apparently :)

 

 

Flat ironed hair + Free Starbucks make for a good Monday. Have a good one!!

 

(And if you hadn't noticed, I'm seriously addicted to my C&C bar necklace - go ahead and treat yo self!)

 

weekend update

This weekend...

• We coffee tasted at the SA Coffee Fest. It was so fun to go downtown and do something different! Things can get stale when you live in the same city your whole life so we're always up for fun, new outings! And how often do you get to do coffee tastings, right? It was free admission and just $5 for a four-cup tasting! I could only handle 3 cups so my big strong man took one for the team and had a total of 5 cups ;) He wasn't even wired afterwards! The fact that it was 80 degrees out was kind of annoying but we stayed in the shade and had a good time!

• I took V to her first wedding. I wasn't in the mood to go but I went anyway and even let Ronnie off the hook so he could stay home and rest after a long week at school. I was glad we went when I realized many of my out-of-town cousins were there and hadn't met V yet! She did ok for a while but as it got later and she got more tired, combined with loud music, hoards of people in her face and teething - so long to my quiet kid. We managed though and had fun spending a little time with family. Since I forgot my good camera at home, you get these 2 crappy pics of my mom, sis, me and V ;)

• V said "dada" for the first time and of course, it made his entire life. I put her in an I Love Daddy onesie yesterday to commemorate the occasion ;)
• I put up my little DIY Christmas letters that I made last week and it finally put me in the Christmas decorating mood. (mini tutorial on the blog later this week!)
• I got to spend some cuddle time with the dogs. Poor guys are starving for attention since V came along :/
• I did get some time alone when Ronnie took V to the grocery store and I organized her mountain of clothes. Her room finally doesn't look like an episode of Hoarders.

Mondays get here way too fast, man. I could use some more time at home. How was your weekend?

my thursday thoughts

Oh Friday, you are so close I can taste you!
(What does Friday taste like? Like pure goodness!)

-So I finally bit the bullet and changed my Twitter handle. I'm now @colormejesss. Yeah yeah, I had to do the triple S thing but I wanted the name so badly, y'all!

-I love my daughter more than words can say but dang she is hard work. I daydream about the day when I'll sleep again. zzzzz...

-Have y'all seen that Secret Starbucks menu floating around on Pinterest? Well, according to every article I've read about it, DO NOT TRY AND ORDER THEM BY NAME! You will look like a dumb dumb! Instead, know the ingredients and ask for those specifically. You're welcome.

-I have an awful zit on my chin that will not effing go away. Help, please! I need ideas.

-I'm so jealous of a girl who works in my building who always has the best outfits and knows how to color block like it's her job! Yesterday she had on all kinds of blues and purples with awesome purple heels just like these. Girl was rocking it!

-Why is it that right when you think you're gonna have a little extra money, you have to spend it on something boring like new tires and tune ups? Ugh. I'm selfish and wanna spend my money on myself, ya know?

-Do any of y'all watch Dallas?? Holy finale twist, man! Please tell me if you watch it so we can chat. I don't know anyone who watches it!

-I've already started listening to this. Don't judge. It makes me happy :)

-Not making me happy? My baby sister leaves for college in Corpus Christi next week. I'm so excited for her but I'm being an overprotective big sis who doesn't want to see her go. She was just a chubby, giggling baby! :(

Isn't she gorgeous? I just love her and I'm already missing her so much! :(

What's going on with y'all today?
