Mother's Day 2012

This was my first Mother's Day as a Puppy Mom! 


Just look at these puppy dog eyes!!!


She got me this cute little card!  Thanks Ally :)


On Mother's Day, I went down to Geronimo to see my mom.  I surprised her with these flowers! 



As much as I hate to admit this, MOM made ME breakfast.  She already had it planned so I didn't want to tell her no.  I was going to offer to make it instead, but knowing her, it probably would've just stressed her out even more because I would've made a mess :) 


Sausage Balls....


with Fried Eggs...yummmm!!!!  She ALWAYS gets the fried eggs perfect...everytime!  Mine are never this pretty!


Then for dessert, we had jelly on our sausage balls.  We have never tried this before but it was DELISH! 


After breakfast, I treated her to a pedicure.  Ok, my mother has had only one...yes, ONE, other pedicure in her life!!!!  CRAZY!!!  And it was a "basic".  This time, we got the "deluxe".  Those of you who are familiar with pedicure lingo know this consists of pamper overload!!  Soak, Scrub, Foot Massage, Mask, Paraffin Wax ... and the wonderful massaging chair.  I happen to ♥ the chair.  My mom; however, did not.  Her exact words were "It shakes me around too much!"  lol  I really wish my sister could've came up and spent the day with us!!  Next time - she better :)


We went to her favorite place in the mall and she had the guy, Kenny I believe was his name, that always does her nails.  She will only let him do her nails.  Nail Salon snob!!!  hehe


 


  


 We didn't do anything crazy.  I went with a very neutral peachy color and she got the french white/pink.


 While drying my nails, I noticed the table with all of their colorful scrubs and lotions.  Soooo....I just HAD to get a picture :)



After our nails, we went and ate at Cracker Barrel.  It wouldn't be right if we both looked ok in the SAME picture....so here is her good one..


...and here is mine...


This Mother's Day was the first one without my wonderful Grandma.  As I went down the card aisle, it felt strange not getting her a "Grandma" card and not getting her a gift.  It's things like this that really make it sink in that she is actually gone.  My mom got this pretty arrangement to put out at the cemetary.  Pink and purple were two of my Grandma's favorite colors :)   


I think this picture was taken Thanksgiving 2010.  We miss you, Grandma!!!

    You did a good job at this little memory share.
    I am so glad that you didn't let your Mom be alone on her first Mother's Day without her precious Mom! Looks like the two of you had a blast! Love you both.

Nail Files and a Giveaway

Today I'm linking up with Tara and Vicki  for their fabulous linkup party, The Nail Files. Essie : Turquoise and Caicos Julep : Ivy Annnnd...I'm doing something a little special for my readers today - a nail polish giveaway!!  I am admittedly copying Christina over at Easily Entertained .  :) She recently did a nail polish giveaway (that I missed out on..boo) and I thought what a GREAT way to get rid of some of my overflowing collection of polishes!!! You will win 8 bottles of nail polish including brands: OPI, CHI, Ulta, Avon, 2 Glitter Pots from Julep, and an Ulta Lipgloss! I apologize for the lighting - I will try to get a better picture and upload it. All of these polishes are slightly used (maybe 2 or 3 times) except for the CHI brand and the green Ulta one - those have never been used.  The glitter pots and the lipgloss are also brand spankin' new. a Rafflecopter giveaway

Loving Lately: My Discovery of MAC Cosmetics

I am 29 years young and I have JUST discovered MAC.  Yes, it's true.  I have apparently been living under a rock.  In a bubble.  Something!!  I ran out of foundation this weekend and decided to give it a try.  And O.M.G. I am so glad I did.  Ok - here are my face issues... 1. Oily Eyelids - eyeshadow creases within an hour...not fun. 2. Oily Face - makeup disappears and the shine is outta control...not fun either!! 3. Acne Scars - the dark spot kind...ugh!  4. Acne - why do I have acne at 29???  It just isn't fair to have to use acne treatment AND an anti-aging cream!!  I went to the MAC counter with absolutely no makeup on whatsoever....I was not lookin' pretty!  They were having a special event to market their "after hours" collection  and there was a model there with her husband who is apparently a famous NBA basketball player from the LA Clippers.  I guess I should've gotten a picture but I was more focused on getting some makeup on my fac

TRIA Hair Removal Laser

Ok...I'm just going to jump right into this.  Let's talk about hair.  I'm not talking about the hair on your head that you want people to see and love.  I'm talking about the unwanted hair that you loathe and want noone to see!  Embarrassing subject?  Yep!!  I have a medical condition called PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) that has many, many side effects that makes it extremely difficult to get preggers but that's another subject we won't get into right now.  One of the most annoying effects being facial hair!!  There, I said it.  Since high school I've had to deal with this embarrassing situation.  Back then, I hated it and I would cry because I thought I was the only one dealing with this.  Now that I'm older (and wiser), I can laugh about it.  And the more I talk to people about it, the more I realize women everywhere are dealing with this "lady with the beard" issue.  I seriously could join a circus, people.  Ok, maybe it's not t
