Baby Dresser!



So... I was gonna go garage shopping on Saturday to see if I could find a dresser that I could redo for the baby's room instead of buying a brand new one... but my mom said she had an old one sitting in the garage... and I could do whatever I want with it... ( I needed to make sure I could do whatever I wanted cuz it was an old antique and I knew if it had any value... it would probably be gone by the time I was done with it... but some of the drawers needed repair and it was old and some of the hinges had fallen apart... and there were water stains so it wasn't worth anything anyway...

Anyhew... so I sanded everything down and fixed the doors... and took of the old hinges... then went to town painting it... The most expensive part was just the knobs... had to spend 20 bucks since there were 20 holes... i guess i shoulda puttied half the wholes up before I painted it and only used 10 knobs... but oh well.

I got the little sample paint cans at Lowes for like... 2 bucks each... anyhew... so now I have this super funky dresser for the baby room ;) What do you do ;)

VEGAS baby...Barefoot AND pregnant most of the time...

So I never posted our pics from Vegas... so heeeeeere you go! Granted, being uber-pregnant and going to Vegas wasn't quite as fun as Vegas normally is... but we still had fun ;) We went and saw BlueManGroup... which was great... Danny loved it more than I did but I thought it was pretty good. (I wanted to see LionKing... but i got the promise of "next time we'll go to Lion King for SURE....) uh huh. ;) Anyhew... This BlueMan was just DYING to take a picture with me... as you can tell by his face.




This tree was at the Bellagio Conservatory... He was kiiiinda creepy and kept whispering at us... I think he thought Danny was hot...


Classic Danny.... Doing something silly while I'm looking around to make sure there aren't any cops.


Danny was enamoured with this mini-bellagio... it was really cool... they made a miniature of the hotel but made it look really cottage-y... Danny took many shots till he got one with the fountains going off...


I think this is when we took a break from the pool and went to the ESPN zone to watch some of the football games... there was like.... at 2 1/2 hr wait for a table... but then we went upstairs and we got lucky finding a table open in the bar area... which ended up workin out great since we were surrounded by a ton of TVs. Some crazy pregnant lady bumped the pepper shaker with her belly and the thing shattered everywhere... silly pregnant ladies. I went and told the waitress "someone" knocked over a pepper shaker.... i don't think she bought it.

We ended up getting 4th row for BlueManGroup... they actually pulled us aside as we were coming in and asked if we wanted to be part of the show... at 1st we said yes but then realized it was this tiny bit part and they would have moved us out of our seats... to further back ones... so we were really glad we went back and told them no... cuz our seats were AWESOME. 4th row right in the middle.


Me alone with creepy tree...


Danny taking a Dumpty...pardon the pun.
More BlueMan... So my pictures aren't in order.... I'm too lazy to put the BlueMan Pics together...
I loved this tree... it was my favorite... he was like an old soul...

OH and for Serendipity the MOVIE... fans... they just opened Serendipity3 at Ceaser's Palace... I simply ADORE this movie... and have always wanted to eat at the Serendipity in NY... but seeing as I've never actually GONE to NY... I hadn't... So we went... I was hoping to sit outside.. but it was FAAAAREEEEEZING that nite. Some hints if you go there... the desserts loooook amazing. I say LOOK amazing... because I was so saddened to not actually EAT one of their delicious sundaes. We ordered some nachos and this chicken pizza... turns out their portions are HUUUUGE. we were STUFFED. I was literally upset that we bought food and couldn't eat a dessert... it was the main reason I was going... but we couldn't even finish our meals. The pizza was really good. (the nachos... not so much, i've made better at home). Anyhew... It was a cute little place but I still want to go to the NY one... And now I'm better prepared. I'll be going there with only BigHuge Sundae on the brain. (NO not the 1,000 dessert though they do serve it at this one...) Anyhew... there's Vegas.

Lion Pillow


I like this pillow much better than the Monkey Pillow... But the Monkey Pillow was my first try... ;) This one was fun and it's about the same size... Now if I can keep the cats from thinking it's a bed and the dogs from thinking its a very large toy.....

Doggy Anxiety Attacks...







Turns out my dogs are spoiled... and they get anxiety attacks when we leave them alone in the house... or outside for that matter... Only at our house... When we ARE home... they are on their best behavior... but we leave and they go SKITZO! We'd been leaving them in the house since it's been so friggin HOT outside... plus the nieghbor dogs are crazy and try to attack our dogs thru the fence... so then our dogs try to attack them... CHAOS. Anyhew... after I came home to THIS (which was the worst by far... usually they just chew some pens or run toiletpaper thru the house) we decided they have to stay outside when we aren't home... so we borrowed a metal dog gate thing that covers the entire fence on the neighbors side... HOPEfully that will stop the destruction! Oh by the way after I took the pictures we saw they had eaten the toggles off danny's xbox controllers as well... GRRRRRRRR. expensive treat!

Course... I try to yell at Zeke and I simply CANT DO IT!!!! He does this double paw thing and looks so scared becuase he knows he did something wrong but isnt sure quite what... so he starts shaking and sits and shakes with both his paws at the same time... I can't help but laugh... I literally had to bury my head and turn away cuz I was smiling and laughing!
