This Is A Need...

not a want. A classic phrase. In the case of this situation, it is 100 percent true. After 15 mins in Brookstone I realized this leg massage machine is a need for my achy body. (HINT, HINT) Best way to start a trip to Vegas...after all the walking that trip I am lucky I survived without this necessity.   

PS: Who loves my latest color blocking choice. I'm stylish, I know. 

My Older, More Mature Big Bro

I will say that was one funny meal. You know when Mama Berry can't stop laughing that you're onto something hilarious. What is not pictured is Dadio sneaking cookies into Mama Berry's purse. As if an all you can eat buffet is not enough. 

House Update: Basement Floors Are Finished!

Aunt Jess = Coolest Aunt

The best part about being an aunt is you are extremely cool. At least in the eyes of my nieces. My coolness level increases with an afternoon like this...soft serve ice cream cones for everyone...before dinner!  

Sam Jam's Handy-work

I love living closer to Sam Jam, it is like having a professional nail tech at my beckon call whenever I please! 

My Partner In Crime

This girl is quite the worker. She shredded lots a paper, did some advanced calculations on the calculator, talked on the phone a lot, and followed direction very well. Mama Berry did give her a pop break and of course I asked if they thought we were in the USA, because we weren't that day. That day we were China, no breaks. ;) 

And I was caught eating one of my top 5 favorite foods...Mama Berry's homemade rolls with Mama Berry's homemade raspberry jam. 

My Latest Fashion Statement

After a major migraine I started to sport these babies to protect my eyes and while they don't do much for my face it sure beats migraines. 

Mattie Faye Turns The Big 1!

This little short-stack is ONE! She's running around like she owns the place. I sure love Miss Mattie Faye. She's among an elite set of ladies with the Faye name. I know Ardella Faye would think she's pretty wonderful as well! 

Happy Birthday Mattie Faye! Love you! 

Blinds Finally Installed!

Chopped My Hair

I was driving to the salon and had this conversation with myself: me:"hmmm, maybe I should chop it off?" the other me: "remember the last time you did that? 8th grade and you cried...for weeks." me: "yes, but now I wear makeup so if I have a bad cut my face will make up for it until it grows back." the other me: "well you better speed up to get to the salon before you lose the nerve."

Here is the result...it is extremely easy to maintain...and I still miss Gustavo.
