What I can't do...

Top: Forever 21 (old)

jeans: Levis 501 boot

shoes (generic toms)Bobs by sketchers

For the past couple of days I have been thinking about all of things that are out of my control and I cannot do anything about them...

Example 1: Casey should just date Mike for like 21/2 years.. get engaged and then married... if I had my way.. I would do it like this..

"Oh.. MIke you want to take me out for a date? what is that?? you love me??.. I love you too!!! smooch smooch smooch smooch... oh..your military benefits can help me pay for college??? that is so great!!!"

Example 2:If I had my way, my hubsband would just embrace Illinois and either find another job he likes, or go back to school... and it would go like this...

"Suzanne you were totally right.. Illinois is our home.. and even though its totally corrupt with the politicians... we should stay until we retire"

unfortunately... free  will prevails... ughhh...oh well.. Happy Friday my friends.. and for my friends who are on break already... H A T E Y O U!!!!!!!(I'll love you again on Wednesday...)

More critics!!!!

Yesterday I had a dinner with a team from work... one of my girls... Leah..seen here...

was throwing all kinds of shade on my little blog...she said.. "MORE OUTFITS!!!".. I'm like, "girrrrrrrrrrrrllllll.. my 13 followers need to hear about the Casey and Mike drama, my goodwill purchases, my goofy dogs and my furniture placement... she didnt' care about all that.. she said peoplejust want to see OOTD.. outfit of the day... therefore... for Leah... I present.. OOTD...

Happy Birthday to my hubsband!!!!!

Now... around birthday times a discussion comes around and asks, "Where do you want to go for dinner?" "Well whatever you want is good... what do you want to do?" and this goes on and on until you agree to go to "Chilis to go"... but tonight... the Haufbrauhaus was our destination... big chested girls brought out our steins of beer and we ate German food... then... someone (me)  snuck up to band leader and asked him to put Chris in the show... this shows what 5.00 can buy you... so after putting a fedora on his head and making him play baby drums... the waitress asked me if I would like to order him a shot and use the shot to paddle him... uhhhhhhhhh,.... YES YES YES!!!!!!!so he got spanked!!!!Best birthday ever!!!!

So the next time you've got a friend who needs some cheering up... bring him out to the Hofbrauhaus you will laugh and  laugh....

A "Look What I Got" Extravaganza!!!!

There have been days when I have gone to Goodwill.. saw something wonderful and NOT gotten it because I thought it wouldn't fit in my car or house... then I get home and cry because I didn't get the cool thing I saw... never again!! Now.. I see something I like.. and I NAB it... this bench was one of those things... 6.99??? Wrap it up...

Girrrrrrrrrllllllllllll... look at this mess behind me.... I have no words... this is from Casey's room...theres laundry all over... its a mess... this is how hoarders begins..

1. there is someone in the house who cleans everything

2. That person either gets sick or tired of cleaning all the time

3. the rest of the family doesn't do anything different

4. noone cleans

5. A&E calls you for permission to show your image on "Hoarders"

I keep giving myself the summer countdown telling myself that as soon as summer gets here.. I will turn into Martha Stewart and my house will look super good... but girrrrrrrrrrllllllll... my life is about as messed up as my house... Freaknuts husband is still talking about moving to Virginia  in August... he will also be gone like 2 weeks in July.. Casey is ???????????????????? just a BIG FAT QUESTION MARK in all areas...school??Job??? housing???boyfriend???

and Jack... starting drivers ed... apparently the universe does not want him to get his permit as  he has gone 3 times to get it and now they are saying he neeeds his ORIGINAL birth certificate.. What the hell?????

Jack wants to just replace my hubsband with a dog and every night he asks me what kind of dog I think we should get.... this is like right as I'm falling asleep... and he doesn't just let it go.. he stays and asks the question over and over until I answer... now I should remind everyone.. we have 2 lovely dogs already!!!!

this is the result of a five day work week!!! STRESS!!!!

BTW.. today is I day.. I has impossible inches... our I? ILLUSTRATION DAY!!! Later you will see all of my students' illustrations...
