Why I Hate Winter....

I sooo wish it was spring. EVERYONE is sick right now. Gage (my 6 month old) has a temp of 101.6 and my fiance is in the hospital with pneumonia (I think) right now. I'm the only person not really sick (a little sniffle). It doesn't help that we don't have insurance and the state is being a turd about my change of address form so I can get my Ohio ID. I'm already so tired of winter and I can't wait for it to be over.

FINALLY Updating.

I knew this would happen! I always get sidetracked and forget about my blog. Mostly because I use Facebook or Tumblr. But here's a rundown of what's been going on since the last post:

Gage had his first Christmas! He got lots of toys and clothes from EVERYONE.

Had an wonderful Christmas with my fiance and family!

Dyed my hair teal (and messed it up horribly!)

Gage is 6 months and is now starting to stand!

So, that's the rest of my year (since the last blog, anyway) in a nutshell! I'll TRY to keep this updated as much as possible.....

The Post-Pregnancy Weight Loss: Success in Progress!

As it always goes, pregnancy = rapid weight gain (in my case, really rapid!). I gained over 40 pounds throughout the course of those nine months. Weeks after I had my little nugget, I lost about 25 pounds. I figured that'd be about it for me and I'd just have to live with the 20 pounds of weight I didn't have before I got pregnant. Well, it seems I'm now almost to my pre-pregnancy weight! I am now 183 (the same weight as my dear fiance!). I hope to be at least 170 in the next month or so, but my goal is at least 150. Now, I don't strive for 120 or anything like that. I was raised in the south and I have curves like a true Southern girl. I don't have the body type to be a scrawny thing who looks as if she has never eaten meat and potatoes! I just want to get rid of the little post pregnancy belly pudge and those bat wings old ladies seem to get (though I am far from an old lady and mine isn't loose skin. -.-''). I'll make sure to post my progress because I am pretty proud of myself.

Also, I haven't been totally up-to-date with my blog because I've been under the weather. But I'm taking my vitamin C and it works SUUUUPER well! Not that I've been doing much of anything this past week anyways, aside from being sick and cleaning my arse off and taking care of Gage!

Toodles, Jenn. <3

Owl Wednesday!

Awesome Holiday!

I had a pretty good Thanksgiving & Black Friday! Soooo much food I thought I'd burst! Gage was pretty good through it all. He was passed around like a hot potato from relative to relative!. The cupcakes went over wonderfully. My cousin took home what was left of them. (3 maybe?) And the following morning, around 2:30 a.m., My fiance, my dad and me went Black Friday shopping. It was a mad house! My dad got me a camera that we stood in line 3 hours for. These old ladies were guarding them like they were full of delicious cookies. "WE were here FIRST. WE get our camera's FIRST. The line is over there behind that lady!" Ugh, old women and their deals. My fiance kept giving her dirty looks the whole time and she made them back. :|
I also got a neat hat with Animal from the Muppets and two pairs of shoes. Though I think the best part of the whole holiday was when my dad gave me this cute owl lamp!

Happy (Early) Thanksgiving!

Since I'll be at my Grandmother's enjoying Thanksgiving all day tomorrow with a ton of my family (fathers side, anyways) and fiance, I thought I'd post this early. I made rainbow cupcakes for tomorrow. They turned out pretty good! (I'll add crappy quality pics later (my camera is really kinda cheap for $100+ Polaroid digital))
I got the cupcake tutorial from The Dainty Squid.  She's pretty amazing.

I photoshopped it for artisticness. 

A Late Tuesday.

FINALLY, I got Photoshop CS5 up again. My fiance knows he'll have to pry me off the computer now. I'll most likely post a ton of my new photography on here now. Well, it's been a pretty "busy" week (since Friday, at least.) Though busy to me right now is just getting out of the house and going out all day. Went and got Cherry flavoured clove cigars. They're pretty good. Though the cigarette cloves were wayyy better.

Annnnd, Sunday I got my little Gage a BEAR SNOWSUIT! It's so effing cute. (I'll post pics up soon.) Also got him a bear winter hat. THEY BOTH HAVE EARS AND EVERYTHING! And while we were browsing  Babies R Us, I found the cutest nursery set.

It has foxes, owls, raccoons and squirrels! Def. going on my Christmas list! 

I'll probably post my fiance's new hair cut here soon! It looks wayyy better than before.
