TMI Tuesday #12

 

Okay, first of all...

Merry Christmas!!!!

 Recognize the bow on The Bird's shirt? Or the Tie Sunshine is wearing??

 Yay!

I love love l-o-v-e looooove 

Christmas 

and now that I have kiddos it's just that much better!

Christmas morning is the best and I'll post a recap after our vaca to the hubby's parents house

  

Time for some....

TMI:"More than you'd ever want to know about me"-edition

Confession: There's no easy way to say this, because it is just oh so freakin embarrassing. I've seriously been horrified by this since I was in like 4th grade when it began to plague me. But the truth is....

I sweat like a 40 year old fat guy who hasn't showered or changed his panties in a week. 

especially in the underarm area...

 

Gah!!! So so sooooo embarrassing!

No matter if I shower and scrub those pits and cake on the deodorant twice a day (which I have done...) or any brand of deodorant or soap  I've tried. 

I'm just a sweaty person. And I get pit stains. A lot. 

Gross, I know...

   

 It used to be really really really bad especially when I was a kid. 

(I bet everyone I went to school with is like "Uuuuh huh! It was nasty")

But as I've gotten older it isn't quite so rampant.

Unfortunately it still does happen. 

Examples of things that bring on the sweats:  

excitment, anxiety, crying, laughing, scary movies, when I have to pee, when I teach on Sundays at church, at the Doctor's office, when I cook dinner, when I vacuum, in traffic, when ordering at restaurants... etc. etc. etc. 

Okay, it's a lot of things.

So the other day when I met Jessica and Lindsay for lunch I was...

Excited, a little anxious during the drive, laughing, needing to pee, and ordering food. 

       

 Hmmmmmmm....

This was my thought process as I clicked through the pics we took after I got home... 

WHY!?!?!?

soooo embarrassing....

Can you say disgusting? 

Seriously, that's showing through my jacket... 

GAHROSSSSSS!!

Um... TMI!!!

Military Uniform to Super Hero Cape + a kit

Oh! So excited!

Would you like to make one, toooooooo?

It's really simple.

Tie that Bow!!

My mom taught me this when I was a little kiddo. 

Easiest way to tie this is on someone else's fingers

Thanks hubby!

What did I use this for??

To fancy-up a Christmas Bear for The Bird

AAwwwww... My kiddos are going to love their Christmas Bears.

Pretty Princess Dress Up Kit

Oh! What's this?? 

What could possibly be in there??

hmmmmmm

 

 Hmmmm....

TMI Tuesday #11

This week I am happy to say we have another TMI featuring an anonymous reader!!

Yay!

Here it goes, Anon!


Picture it: 
it is your wedding day, you have been married for almost 6 whole hours and it is time to leave the reception to go to the hotel and get marital. (this is a tmi post after all) you hug and kiss your parents grateful that you won't have to see or hear from them for at least a week.. this was how i left my reception. i waved them off and said see you later! i didn't care if i didn't talk to my mom for two weeks, and even then i knew that the first phone call would be the most awkward of my life because i would be a married woman.... with a husband... who has needs....that get met....with his wife....me....
so when my parents and siblings called my cell phone (three times) late that evening looking for the van keys you could say that it was a little too soon.
the jokes would not stop:
"uh.....sorry to inttteerrrrupppttt..."
"we aren't bothering you two are we?"
"hey! what's going on over there?"
and lots of giggling. kill. me. now.
thank goodness we didn't have the stupid van keys because i would sooner throw them out the window then have to meet them in the lobby and exchange awkward glances. TMI!



Seriously??? Hello, I would be ready to die! So embarrassing...
Thanks for sharing, Anon!!

Um... TMI!!

I've done nothing for Christmas

12 days till Christmas and I've done nothing.

Okay, not nothing but pretty close. 

 

We did some of this

 And of course some of that

 Went to our church Christmas party.

Perfect and hilarious, btw. Check Jessica's blog for pics...

And I met up with a couple of my besties for lunch and cupcakes.

Which has nothing to do with Christmas but since it felt like Christmas to see Lindsay since she up and moved away (crazy girl)

I felt like it should be included.

Oh and this should be included....

All for the awkwardness of it all!!!

Love you Jessica!

Seriously, go check out my crazy friend's blog

http://aaronandjess.blogspot.com/

She is a heap of hooting hilarity.

Do it.

Happy Christmas!

Say it in your best Hermione Granger voice.

I guess I should start my Christmas list soon...

TMI Tuesday #10

I'd like to acquaint you to something I dread.

But I also love it.

It makes me squirm when I see it.

But I also laugh with uncontrolled vigour.

Introducing...

The Awkward Hand

Most commonly dreaded and enjoyed in group photos

Example:

Can't spot it? 

Here's a close-up

Awkward!

That's my brother and me, by the way.

And what on Earth are we doing with our hands?

I guess it shouldn't surprise me...

 What the....?

 Weirdos.

 

Awwww...

Those are my siblings, all six of us together. 

Precious!

Watch out for the awkward hand!!

Dun, Dun, Duuuuuuuuun!

Um... TMI!!!

The Whimsy Dress Tutorial

Oh, The bird. 

My little birdie is just about the sweetest little thing you've ever met. 

When you meet her words like 

Pixie, Elf, Imp 

and 

Whimsy

come to mind. 

That mane of curls, sparkly blue eyes, elf ears, and topped off with earrings? 

Whimsy 

Such a dear as The Bird needed a dress full of 

Whimsy 

Only a Little like The Bird can get away with wearing so many colors and patterns in one fabulous dressy dress. 

 So let's put one together!
