Rolling rolling rolling...

That has kind of become my mantra, just keep rolling along. Rolling with the punches, rolling with the flow, rolling with the packing and moving. I think the only thing worse than doing a full on DITY (Do It Yourself) move is to do half of one where you have to decide what items you will want for the next three months and what things can go into storage.

I also never knew how much I would miss the dog. I actually have to sweep up after Madelyn eats...and dadgum that baby is messy! This morning she threw cheerios in the floor and then looked for Domino to come clean them up before throwing more. I hope she learns quickly that he's not there to clean up after her otherwise I'm gonna have to let her eat her own cheerios off the floor.

We've been getting regular updates about Domino, he is very happy in his new home. He has settled in nicely and let my father in law know early on who is boss. I know deep down that we made the right decision.

With a move in less than a week it's pack or be packed...

Madelyn and Mickey weren't pulling their weight

Madelyn is too stinkin cute! Love her face! You mean, your not goign to eat all her food off the floor? Why not?!?

I am so not looking forward to my move either. I have no idea how long I will have to be without my stuff, so we are going to have ALOT of stuff we will have to live off of for the next few months too! I hate moving!!! At least though, this next move for all of us will be a long one:) I am going to miss the heck out of you and Madelyn!!!!

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 ...

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!
