Have you ever heard about The Man Cold?? Ladies, if you've ever had a man in your life get sick on you, then you understand what I'm about to talk about. Good Lord, when guys get sick, it's like the end of the world! They get the sniffles and need to be in bed all day. It's ridiculous! Not us, women get sick and we keep on movin! Especially the moms. There is no rest for a mommy, come on! Anyhoo, Sexy Jim came down with The Man Cold yesterday so I figured this was appropriate for today's blog. Enjoy!!
Being married to a former marine myself, I know that Sexy Jim isn't the only one that fails to hide true emotion from time to time. Check out Adam and Allen on a ride called the Giant Slingshot in Florida. Adam just wanted a countdown, that's all. Haaaa!!!

2012 has a handful of movies I really need to see....
"The Vow" - Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams
"What To Expect When You're Expecting" starring Elizabeth Banks, Jennifer Lopez, Cameron Diaz, Matthew Morrison, Anna Kendrick, Chace Crawford, Chris Rock, Brooklyn Decker, Dennis Quaid and many more..."she's wearing six-inch heels, she's like a magical pregnancy unicorn" best line ever!! ha ha!
"This Means War" - Chris Pine, Tom Hardy and Reese Witherspoon
and of course, the movie that officially gave me a crush on Zac Efron... "The Lucky One"
NBC has put out a preview for Betty White's upcoming senior citizen prank show. It's called "Off Their Rockers", and it features seven senior citizens playing pranks on unsuspecting younger people. Unfortunately, Betty isn't one of them, she's just the host, but it looks awesome! There is a special preview this Monday night. I've already DVR'd it! Yes!!
Thanks to Morgan from our Z104 promotions team for showing this to me - I can't decide if my jaw is on the floor for how fast he's going or if I'm just still laughing because the fool is rapping about pancakes. You may have seen this already - only 19 million or so have. But here ya go anyway!!
A new year, a new season of "The Bachelor" and to punish myself, I will watch it again. I don't know why I do this to myself. As much as I despise reality tv as a whole, this is the one crap program I just hate to love! Side note: I especially hate it when they keep recycling the sad old runner up that didn't quite get the ring or the "yes, I'll marry you" from the season before! Boo!! Pick someone new! Okay, sorry, anyhoo... I have wasted so much time filling out this silly little cheat sheet provided by ABC.com but I'll admit, it was helpful for my note-taking during episode one. Yes, I take notes on the girls as we are introduced to them. While I will introduce you to my four favorites, Kacie, Jamie, Emily and Nicki, I might note that the first thing I wrote down when I saw Courtney the model, was "nope. don't like her" and guess what? I'm sure Ben will like her all the way to the end. Boo again. I don't even care if drama-starters Jenna and Monica make it a long way, but Courtney? Please no. Please. No, no, no, no!
Here are my favorites for this season, we'll see how I did in April or May or whenever the finale is (and of course, see if the couple has already broken up by then! ha ha!)
I also like Lindzi, she's the one that arrived on a horse, but since she got the first impression rose, I figure she doesn't need to be in my top four. (why not just have a top 5? I don't know!) Oh and here is the man of the hour - this is Ben.
Good luck finding the love of your life, buddy. I need to find something better to do with my Monday nights, but until then....laundry loses and "The Bachelor" wins. I need a shovel to the face.
At least there is one other woman with the same glutton for punishment: my sweet friend JoAnn! We both are two of the busiest moms I know, yet sadly obsessed with this damn show. Ha ha ha!!
That's JoAnn in the middle with me and Natalia holding each other's sons at a Christmas party!
I think this mommy has developed a little crushy crush on little Zac Efron after watching this trailer. He's not so little anymore. Whoa. This movie doesn't come out till April, but I'll be there to see it! It's called "The Lucky One" and it's about a Marine that heads to North Carolina after serving three tours in Iraq and searches for the unknown woman he believes was his good luck charm during the war. Yum....
Shweew! I just did an age check - good old boy just turned 24! Okay, not feeling as dirty as I thought I needed to feel, ha ha ha!! I mean seriously, the boy worked out a bit before this fim.
Each Thanksgiving, my mom and daddy drive out to the east coast from Missouri to visit me and my brother Scotty, who lives just outside Baltimore. They stay with me for a couple of days, then we drive up to Maryland and spend the night with Scott and his wife Renee and their three awesome kids - Rachel, Emily and brand new baby Christopher. This was the first time I got to meet my new nephew and the first time Scotty got to meet his new nephew Julian. They are 7 days apart.
We weren't in the driveway for two minutes before my girls ran inside to find dress up clothes. Aunt Renee tells me Karrington is wearing a dress that belongs to a doll. Whooops!
There were lots of leaves to play with in their cousin's new back yard!!
I surprised my sexy husband with an overnight get-a-way for our wedding anniversary. I arrived early Friday afternoon and picked him up in a limo and we rode up to Williamsburg! Here is a picture of us in the limo - he was pretty excited!
We made it to Colonial Williamsburg and stayed in Orlando Jones Kitchen. Did you know you could rent these stand alone cottages? So cute!
We ate dinner at the Fat Canary where Sexy Jim had the "best porkchop of his life" and then did a ghost tour around Duke of Gloucester Street. It was such a fun night, but we weren't done. Apparently. We got back to our little cottage and there was another surprise waiting for ME this time. Jimmy had also planned an overnight get-a-way to the Williamsburg Winery....with dinner reservations....and a ghost tour for Saturday night. Sound familiar!? I guess we were not leaving yet!
Whaaaaaaa???
It turns out both of us had called our wonderful friend Randy within a day of each other to secretly ask him if he could watch our three kids so we could surprise each other. So not only did Randy agree to take care of our THREE kids for BOTH nights, he also had his TWO girls as well. And now he had to plan it out so that BOTH of our surprises would work out smoothly!! This guy is a champ! We love you so much Randy!! And you too Taylor and Julia!
So we get to the Wedmore Place at the winery and without me knowing, Jim's assistant Maria had gone up to there to prepare the room. She sprinkled rose petals all over the bed and bathtub, put my favorite beer in a bucket on ice, brought flowers, a gift, our wedding album and a wedding covenant we'd done four years ago and put them all in the room. It was beautiful!
Now see, Jim thought he would have Saturday morning to pack, so he wasn't ready to go on Friday at his office right? That's where Randy came in. And Natalia. Randy knew he had to pack for Jim (and for me for that matter) and get those clothes in the limo with me. That's when he enlisted the help of Natalia. He called her from my closet on Friday morning taking pictures asking what he should pack! And then he didn't know how to get it all in the limo with me, but Natalia came up with a great idea! Wrap it up like a gift from Randy (but make sure to get the message to Jim somehow that the "gift" was part of the surprise). Too funny!! It was a wonderful weekend and in spite of all the crazy planning from ALL angles, it worked out perfectly! Happy anniversary Nutpie!
The leaves were so pretty up there - we took way too many pictures!
Ha ha! I guess we were trying to re-create the engagement photos from seven years ago! Nice try!
