List o' stuff

1. My daugter is already a smart butt. The other day she was playing with R (a little girl I was babysitting who is 3 months older than Madelyn) and she was stepping on her leg trying to get to other toys. I looked at Madelyn and told her to be a sweet girl. She looked at me, started babbling in a sweet voice and stepped on R.

2. I am moving in 20 days and it's killing me. Today I had an impromptu shopping trip that was fun and didn't result in me spending money with Denise. I am going to miss that and her so much when we move.

3. My head still feels like a pimple that needs popping. I sound like I have a clothespin on my nose and the area under my eyes might just explode.

4. I LOVE this weather. It's beautiful and cool and crisp. Tonight I stepped out, took a deep breath and was immediately reminded of Madelyns first couple of weeks, it was this kind of weather when we brought her home. I love how certain smells can transport you to the happiest times in your life without you even knowing it.

5. I am moving in 20 days and I can't stand it. I am so excited to be close to family and to be out of this house!

6. I should be knitting a pumpkin hat right now, but I'm not. I finished the second hat last night and I need to cast on for another one, but I'm just not feeling focused. I want some apple juice.

7. Madelyn is snoring in the bed next to me.

8. I am struggling to make this a list of 10 things. When I started I had all kinds of ideas and now they are gone.

9. Tonight should be Chris' last night away from us during TBS! He only has 6 days left. I am so proud of him and so excited for him to be done. Of course he'll be in CA by the end of the month, but I won't worry about that now.

10. Madelyn is going to be walking soon. She is getting steadier and stronger every day. Tonight she took about 10 steps across the room and she can change direction. I am scared. I'm not ready for her to not be a baby.

Where to start?

This is a welcome home sign that somebody put up on base. I'm sure the Marine recognizes himself in the picture as do all the Marines that know him. There is just so much wrong that I don't know where to start. Is this sign from a jealous girlfriend and wifey's on the bed of a pick-up truck on her way to Mexico to be sold into slavery? Is this sign from his brother who took "care" of wifey while he was deployed? Is this just a sign from the wifey who likes to advertise that she is lazy and fat and probably has cracker crumbs and bugs in the bed because this sign has been up for several weeks. I won't even get started on "the ice", like there's only one ice? I bet it melted really quick. Maybe it's on the ice in Alaska? Or on the ice on the boat that she bought with deployment money and is sailing around on with the brother? OK, it's making my brain hurt because it doesn't rhyme or flow. It's just a bunch of statements on ...

Welcome Friends! Do you L-O-V-E somebody in the military?  Then this is totally the place for you. Please, pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee, and make yourself comfortable.  Hi!  I am Katrina aka Froggy Lady.  I like frogs.   No really.   I do. The Lily Pad is my little space on the internet that I like to call home.  It's a place where I take off my shoes, relax and get a little crazy sometimes. I also like to visit Four Ribbons   and get my craft on. This is my Marine, he fights for freedom. That is HOT.   This is Madelyn.  She is three and keeps me on my toes and sometimes renders me speechless.  So now that you know a little more about me, please link up so we all can get to know you!

All Dressed Up!

It's All Dressed Up Wednesday with No Model Lady It's just a fun day for us to get dressed up and share it with the internets.  Today I did a little casual outfit that I've been thinking about for a while.  It's not super creative, but I LOVE this shirt and scarf combo.  Feeling pensive in the backyard. Feeling like a picture with heels sinking in the grass! This outfit was really all about the shoes.  Because it's always all about the shoes. This is how silly I felt posing in my backyard with a mirror propped against our glider bench. Shirt and scarf combo: Kohls Jeans: Levis skinny Shoes: Macy's clearance Earrings: Charlotte Russe Bracelet: a gift from my lovely Denise Did you play?  Wanna Play?  Head over to No Model Lady and link up!
