What they say..

Last week I was rushing the girls, as usual to get ready for school and

Chloe says - "mom, hold your corn"
Me - excuse me?
Chloe - hold.your.corn!
That phrase compliments of their dad, not sure where the heck he got it from!!

Then I was putting her coat on and
Chloe says - Arrgh, my sleeves all jacked up.
Me - Okay, I'll fix it.
Chloe - Arrgh, my other sleeve is jacked up.
Me - (thinking - I better quit saying jacked up)

Later that day we were driving to the vet and Chloe sitting in the back seat
Chloe says - We're going to that place that has blue and white, oh, my bad, white and uggg, I keep messing up, red and white strips on the roof!

Honestly, I didn't know what she was talking about. Then we pulled up to the vet and next door is Rita's Italian ice and it has red and white strips on the roof! Who knew....my bad!!!!!

Wordful Wednesday - Best Buds!

Recently Shawn took the girls to the Zoo. He said they spent most of the day holding hands. That is so sweet. I love that they love being with each other. It seems they are involved in a little conversation too. So cute!

Pay it forward...

I go to the same coffee place every morning before work. This particicular morning I was 2nd in line waiting to get my fresh brewed java. There was a man in front of me who was ordering 1 pound coffee and some other stuff. He looked back at me and said are you only getting coffee and I said yes. He told the girl to add my coffee to his bill. I told him he didn't have to do that, but he said he wanted to pass on some positive mojo. So since he did that, I put my coffee money in the tip jar. He said...see it worked!!!

Wouldn't it be great if everyone could do random gesture for a stranger and make their day! He made mine.

Not much happening...

That's why I haven't been blogging much. Nothing really exciting to report. It's freezing here so we are mostly cooped up inside going stir crazy. We are really slow at work, I mean really slow, like, I hope we don't get layed off, slow. One good thing is I've been able to catch up on my reading. I seriously probably haven't read a book in 3 years, since the girls showed up! So, I've been taking advantage of this down time to read. Here is a list of books I've read in the last two months. I recommend everyone of them, they are all very good...

Where are you now?
Dear John
Dewey
The Lucky One
Phathom Prey
The Choice
Marley and me
Broken Pieces
Queen of the Road
My Sisters Keeper
Against Medical Advice


I just started Tribute by Nora Roberts and after that I am reading Change of Heart. Has anyone read any great books lately? I'd love to add them to my list.

Steeler Parade

Yesterday the city decided to have a parade to celebrate our Super Bowl Champs. I new the parade was going right past my building, so there was no way I was going to miss it. When I got to work my supervisor decided to let whoever wanted to go which was about 6 of us leave for a while, her included. It was really exciting, plus we had a great spot, so I got some really good pictures.


The people looking are part of our group. Jenn, CJ, me and Virginia. Our co-worker took the picture from our office. I didn't know my towel was upside down, what a dork I am!!!

There's fast Willie Parker

Our amazing kicker, Jeff Reed. Love the hair!!!



The MVP from Super Bowl XV, Hines Ward...Love him!!!!

#98, Mr. Casey Hampton



Greg Harrison, the man who intercepted the ball in the 2nd quarter and ran for a 100 yards to score a touchdown. Awesome!! He definintly earned the right to carry the Vince Lombardi Trophy!

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE PITTSBURGH STEELERS!!!
