It's my Birthday so....

1. I can cry/throw a fit over broken eye shadow....Sympathy is required.

2. I can demand weird food items to served to me at random.

3. I can take a nap at work. All day.

4. I can sing and dance... wherever and whenever I feel like it. Deal with it coworkers.

5. I can eat the entire wheel of cheese. Or two.

6. Everything is calorie free.

7. I can pretend that I am five to ten years younger than I actually am, and people HAVE to agree with me.

8. I can wear whatever feels good... even if it doesn't match.

9. I can curl my hair.... at my desk.

10. I can do what I want. Because today, I'm 14. (Stop laughing)

Man, I was adorable. (It's my Birthday so...  I can shameless brag about how adorable I was before I got old and nasty)

Thinking on Thursday.

I'm really just thinking about Friday right now. I am going on a lovely date with one of my fav cousin's (I love you all equally!!) and we are getting something special done....and I'm excited. It's a surprise. Stop asking. Shhhhh. No. I will not tell you. Yet. End of story.

Moving on you impatient face. I am also thinking about what to get my mom for Mother's Day (It's Sunday! Don't forget!!) Here are a few idea's I have come up with (Mom! No peeking!)

First off, everyone needs a finger fork. DUH. Practical and ninja-like. Total score. 

Next....I mean does it even need to be said?? A Snuggy that also moonlights as a rug?! Genius. Perfection. Great mom gift. 

Talk about practical. THIS is where it is at, if you buy this for your mom, it's like you are doing some of her chores for her....... It's like you are giving her a built in maid. 

Doesn't every mom want to look like Justin Bieber sometimes. 

Every time I go to the restroom..... I think of Katy Perry. So I am sure that Mom does too. We are related after all, why not a visual??

BANANA.BUNKER. That is all (Google it, weirdos)

Chinese Herbs. With Snakes in them. Super cool and I am sure will give her some weird, awesome side effects. You are welcome, Mom. 

This. Picture. 

I thought and I thought and all of these were such amazing options but instead of any of those before this....I decided the best option is a surprise makeover that she has no control over: 

THIS!!!!


You are welcome in advance, Mom! Love you! 

Sick Days and Elf Ways.

We have come down with a stinky virus at this house and we are trying our hardest to get over it as fast as we can, we have resorted to many snuggles, Christmas (and the occasional karate) themed movies, chocolate malt shakes, and giggles. It is safe to say that all this is working. And while we are recovering a little Elf on the Shelf we know and love has made it's way back into the house nightly ;) Here are some of the peculiar places that we have found her:

Day One she thought she would drop by with her favorite Austrian Dark Chocolate.

Day Two she tried to hide a surprise under some 'snow'.

Day Three she got a little carried away with the candy and may have found herself stuck!

And Day Four she tries to rider her friendly (40 in!!) horse to bring a gift as well. 

I have had a blast with our Elf on the Shelf and I can't wait to come up with other ideas for the rest of the month. I am trying my own spin on it, our Elf brings little gifts every day for 24 days from the North pole, she is our own personal Advent Calendar! Are you trying anything unique with your Elf this year??
