Random Thoughts on a Tuesday!

I struggle with coming up with interesting stuff to say....so, this is what I have been thinking about.

#1)  I am throwing a baby shower for one of my best friends this Saturday.  She suffers from Celiac's and I have to say to EVERYONE who eats Gluten Free...you are bad ass!  I struggled with the menu...shit, I still haven't finished making up the menu yet...Gluten is in E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G!!!!!  I really don't want her to worry about what she can and can't eat...being pregnant is hard enough, I don't need her vomiting or shitting her pants on my watch.  So far, I am doing a Veggie Tray, Relish Tray, Gluten Free Ranch, Guacamole, Salsa, Tortilla Chips (which I have been told are Gluten Free....), Sandwich Bar (I will need to get a few different kinds of G.F. breads) Egg Salad, Tuna Salad....The cake will be G.F. thanks to another bestie who took care of hunting down a place that would do one....Oh, and I found a recipe for Mounds that is G.F.  I have an OCD habit of serving too much food then I am stuck grazing on it for a few days because I hate to waste food....I should be okay with just this, right? 

Here is a sample of all the crafting I started doing Sunday night....my hands hurt from cutting so many circles...I promise to post pictures of the finished set up!  I always love to look through party decor!

#2)  My 11 year old daughter has been driving me up the fucking wall....yesterday she talked to me for an HOUR about JUSTINFUCKINGBIEBER!  "Momma, did you know JB's fav color is purple.  Mine is purple too!"  "Momma, see these shoes...I want some cause they are JB's fav shoes"  "Mama, watch this video of JB's laughing!"  "Mama, watch this video of JB taking his jacket off"  OMFG!  I am trying REALLY hard to not consume alcohol anymore....once a month...but at the rate this has been going, it might be safer for her if I take back that rule....Her room is covered in JB posters...which doesn't bother me...I was a NKOTB fan and my room was waaaaaay worse. (insert old woman's voice here) But when I was a kid, we didn't have technology like this....I had to record the new kids on Oprah (nice to know that Oprah's name appears in Spell Check!  That is how you know you have made it, when your name appears in spell check!) on a VCR tape!  LOL!  And, my dad made me wait till he went to bed to watch it....I feel like a bad mom if I ignore her because she is an only child and she gets all butt hurt if I do!  Hence, if I was drunk I could ACT like I gave two shits!

#3)  My 13 year wedding anniversary is coming up in May....I am trying to be creative and surprise him!  I also would like to be down at least another 20 lbs...I have not worn sexy things since before I had my daughter....who is 11.  I want to be cute in clothes again....and sooner rather than later....  =D
