Updates!

Ok, so as promised I'm getting my act together & doing a little better about posting... For now :/ But like the title of my last post says: "Time Flies When You're Having FUN!" Right?! I know everyone else can relate!!

I promised pictures from the wedding Uncle Boski (yes, I will be refering to him as Uncle Boski from now on!) & I attended this weekend. Here's the thing... We didn't actually end up going. To any of it. Nope, not even the reception. Now hear me out, I promise we're not horrible people. The wedding was in Louisville (we live in Lexington,) & we were running stupidly late. I know, I know; our bad completely. But by the time we were remotely close to Louisville & the church where the wedding was being held, we were going to be over a 1/2 hour late. Now how rude would that have been if we just waltzed right in to a full-on Catholic wedding that stinkin' late like it was no big deal?! Pretty rude if you want my opinion. Full-on Catholic or not! Remember in my last post I mentioned that my wedding gene emerged (& I quote,) "a looong" time ago. I don't have every single detail planned just yet, but I do know I'll be pissed forever at anyone who comes in more than 10 minutes late. & really, 10 minutes is pushing it. & don't think I won't see you... I'll be in the front of the room monitoring. Believe it!! Now you can't say you haven't been warned. Can I just take a minute & go ahead & admit that I completely anticipate & 0WN the fact that I'm going to be the world's biggest bitch of a bride. Oops.... I mean Bride-zilla?? I'm tooootally owning it. I know my personality & the way I am when it comes to planning things (much less, planning the biggest day of my life? Helloooo!) & I can only imagine the hell I will bring to my bridesmaids. Oh yea... & future husband. Part of me hopes I'll be kind (& smart) & leave him out of it so when all is said & done, he'll still want to marry me.

So yea! We didn't even go. But we'd already paid for the hotel & decided to just do our own thing! It was great... It was like a big-deal Date Night in Louisville! What a freakin' TREAT!! We had dinner at Joe's Crab Shack (I've personally never been a fan, & am still not, but it was the first restaurant we saw that was on the river & Uncle Boski was starving so that's was what "we" wanted.) I'm a moron & got shrimp alfredo (terrible) so I didn't enjoy my meal very much. Uncle Boski got crab legs which were DELiSH but I didn't because I simply don't have the patience to work for my food. Especially in that intense of a manner. I however did find a fabulous new cocktail that will be my go-to until further notice. It was a 'Southern Spiked Tea'. Made with Seagram's sweet tea vodka, actual sweet tea (of course,) & some lemon juice. It was served in a mason jar, (you get to keep!) which for me, was part of it's appeal.

& because I'm a huge nerd, I took a picture.

Anyway, it was such a great Date Night! Aren't those the best though? The ones that are impromptu & unplanned? I feel like every time I've forced a Date Night (& when I say forced, I mean planned to a 'T') it has never measured up to the Date Nights that have been spur of the moment & totally unplanned. The Patti Planner in me is telling me to take that back. I won't take it back but I will say that planning does in fact come in handy at times & I will still always rely on heavy planning when necessary. But the non-Patti Planner in me is saying it was great! Parts of me wanted to be anxious & controlling at first, but once I gave myself the 'calm the F down' talk & put my trust in Uncle Boski it was totally fun!

Really that's about it! Nothing particularly new has happened or prompted me to want to just write. Sorry if I've disappointed! I will say (armed with a To Do List) today has been a super-productive day :) Errands, dishes (2 loads,) & laundry (3 loads,) have been completed & amongst all of it I still had time for a nap ;)

Nighty Night Bloggy-Poo. See you soon, I promise!! X0X0 ;)

Oh! P.S. Since I've decided to title this entry 'Updates' just thought I'd share that I was scheduled as a 'Closer' at work... Let me just say that I've faced my fears & am now serving. Being nominated as a 'Closer' means I'm a strong server! Props to me!!

Time Flies When You're Having FUN!

Ok, so it's been a while since I've posted.. & that could possibly be an understatement. But look at me! I come out with a new background & this post will be filled with all kinds of fun things!

In my last post I mentioned Emma Kate.. (I believe I said 'Emma Kate we can't WAIT!' ... Yet another understatement, looking back.) She's finally here!! She was born on August 17th, 7lbs 6oz. @ 2:34pm!!


Just got her hair done!! Pink bow is an absolute must for the newest princess!!


Coming home from the hospital! Look how tiny she is!!

Uncle Boski & I.. This was my first time seeing her. Needless to say, Uncle Boski can't get enough! & I can't either! ;)

In the most precious onesie & headband ever! Yours truly picked them out:)

I could share every picture I have (thus far) of her & not get tired of it... But I'm sure everyone else will. Uncle Boski & I are constantly looking at the pictures we have of her. When I'm bored I just look through all the pictures on my phone & it puts me in such a lovey-dovey/happy/softy kinda mood! I could never have anticipated the joy she would bring when she finally arrived, & she's not even my own baby!! I have to admit, the older I get, the bigger my soft spot gets for little ones... I just can't help it! I guess my mommy-genes are fiiiinally emerging. 'Bout time, if you ask me ;)

I'm off work tomorrow & Uncle Boski & I are headed to Louisville for a wedding... I promise pics will follow! I'm pumped about the wedding... First one I've gotten to go to all summer! Love weddings as well... I can't wait for my own. That gene emerged a loooong time ago, but that's all for another post!

X0X0;)
