This weekend...

This weekend has been very relaxing and very productive.
I just wanted to take a minute to say thank you to all of you who sent me well wishes.
I am feeling MUCH better, and I have my voice about 75% back.

My husband had drill this weekend, and there were a TON of things that I've been wanting to do, but haven't had the time. So I used all this free time I had to get it all done.
First off, since I passed out before 8pm on Friday night, I had an early start Saturday. Yep, my body decided it was time to get up at 7 am. What kind of craziness is that?!
Anyway, I took advantage of it and painted my nails
while watching Letters to Juliet.
Finished up two fun little side projects for two special friends, more on that later.
Made a bunch of new headbands and started some new hair clips, too.


Speaking of headbands, all of my are on sale, 15% off.
Just use the code VDAY2011 at my shop.

Today I made 4 1/2 dozen cookies, 4 dozen mini cupcakes, framed two paintings and one print, made chunk crayons, went grocery shopping, and worked on my lesson plans/examples.

As good as this weekend was, I'm REALLY sad to see the week approaching. But with every day that passes is one day closer to my due date :):):)
Hope you all have a great week!

Yep

Remember how I told you that I lost my voice?
Yea, it has been 5 days now and it still hasn't come back.
My husband said I sound like Marcel the Shell with shoes.

I went to the doctor yesterday, and they basically said [without even looking at my throat] that there was nothing they could do for me.
AND they tried to charge me $45.
I think not.
Anyways, I'm hoping that this weekend is my cure.
I'm getting plenty of rest, watching a lot of tv/movies, drinking lots of hot tea, crafting, and trying to not talk, at all.

...

Thank you, random fourth grader, for wearing so much perfume that you cause me to have an allergy attack.
So bad, might I add, that I have completely lost my voice.

Oh the life of a Military wife

Friday night was the Dining Out for Aaron's ROTC program.
So I got all jazzed up for the evening.He introduced me to all his friends and commanding officers like this: "Hey, this is my wife Jamie...she's pregnant."
I was just so awkwardly hilarious.
Our dinner was catered by the school. In case you don't get what I'm trying to say, it was gross. Aaron said he thought they bought a whole bunch of frozen dinners and just heated them up. Even the cake tasted stale.
Even though it was fun to get all made up for the night, I was so glad to get home and get into my pajamas!

In case you were wondering...
I rented my dress from renttherunway.com
I will not be wasting my money on that ever again.
First of all, when it came, there were tiny rips/holes in the dress. Luckily I had gotten a backup from them for free.
As you can see from the picture, it was extremely long on me, even though I was wearing high heels. If I would have just bought a dress, I could have had it altered.
According to their policy, you have to send the dress back the day after your event in this prepaid envelope, which I thought was no big deal.
Except, hey, the post offices around here aren't opened on Saturdays.
Also, when we went to send the dress off today, the 'prepaid' envelope was only prepaid for up to a pound. LIKE a long evening gown is going to weigh less than a pound. So we ended up having to pay extra to even ship it back.
All I'm saying is renting a dress seems nice in theory, but after all is said and done, it wasn't worth it in my opinion.
I would definitely weigh out my pros and cons BEFORE hitting the add to cart button if I were you.

Once upon a time...

I used to wear my hair like this....
[please ignore the awkward positions my hands are in]
I was also 20 lbs lighter, and it framed my face so nicely.

At some point I decided to grow my hair out for about a year and a half and I LOVED it.
Recently, I cut it to a medium length for easier maintenance.
Now though, it's just getting on my nerves so bad! And I know that when I have the baby, I won't have time every single day to blow dry it and straighten it, so I'm really thinking about going back to the good ol' days and chopping it all off.

What do ya'll think?
I need help!

Red Riding Hood
