MGD 64

Have you tried MGD 64 yet?

I saw a spot for it on the shelf at SuperTarget on Friday, but they were gone.

Dying to know how it tastes!

Punky Kids

At least, that's who I'm assuming did it.

Last week we took the kids to our church's pumpkin patch and let them pick out some pumpkins of various sizes. Mr. Sasha also got three bales of hay and some mums and made the cutest Halloween decoration in our yard.

Yesterday morning we noticed that about half of our pumpkins had been stolen.

Stupid kids. Pisses me off.

Today

I may run to Ulta to get

I saw it in the Nov 2008 Glamour, and here's what they said:

This polish looks dark in the bottle but goes on sheer. I like that it's not too vampy.

Doesn't that sound pretty?

Bloggy Hint: Favicon

I've gotten several comments today on my new Favicon- that's the cute pink S up in address bar you'll see when you are at my site.

First, I created my little S graphic. Now I don't have a fancy graphics program, so I use Paint- otherwise known as the PMPS (Poor Man's PhotoShop). I just created a text box and made a cute pink S and cropped it down to a square.

Then I followed the instructions at Dummies' Guide to Google Blogger to add the Favicon to my template.

Super easy! If you don't have Paint and would like some help creating the graphic, let me know and I'll be glad to do it for you.

Dear Team Trademark,

The Real Estate Pros

I'm missing you guys.

What's up with you?

Richard, are you and Ginger still pretending you don't have a relationship?

Ginger, do you still have a million dogs you bring to work?

How are the Apontes doing? Still pulling all-nighters?

A Trip to the Zoo

The past two Sunday afternoons, after naps, we've headed up to the zoo. The gates close at 5:00, but you can actually stay until dusk. There's practically no one there, and we've taken picnic dinners and had a fabulous time.

Right now we have two baby snow leopards, and they are precious.

But every single time I try to get a picture of the kids together, this is what happens.


The can't sit still long enough for me to even snap the pic. And I've got a Rebel, so there's no shutter lag time.

See? Still moving.

This one is funny because you can see WC in the background getting ready to pounce on P.

Yesterday I entered the kids in the Gap Casting Call. Now we've talked about this before-- don't go entering you own gorgeous kids and beating mine. Now, this isn't the pic of P that I entered since any pic you submit cannot have been "exhibited or displayed publicly through any means previously."

And yes, I know he needs a haircut. Can you come over and do it for me? I just don't have the energy for a greased pig contest.

Are You Watching?

Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Making the Team?

Ridicule me if you must, but in this part of the country, drill team and football go hand in hand.

When I was growing up, all young boys had an autographed DCC picture on their wall.

I love this show and am so excited it's back on! (Even Mr. Sasha will sneak a watch, although that may have something to do with the skimpy uniforms.)

I have drill team in my blood. Back in the day I dreamed of being a DCC or a Kilgore Rangerette and damn, I had some good high kicks. Alas, I had to get a job in college and there was no time to be on a drill team anymore.

But I digress. It's really a great watch. Who's with me?

Missing Running Blogroll

Well, I think my Running Revolution blogroll is lost forever.......

So let's start again!

If you'd like to be on the Running Revolution blogroll, let me a comment with a post to your blog.

Dear ESPN,

I need to tell you a little something. Just so you'll know.

This is why the ladies watch GameDay:

Kirk Herbstreit

Mr. Sasha knows all about my not-so-secret crush and even took me half way across the TX state fair so I could catch a view of him in person.

Too cute.

So that's why I don't mind if GameDay takes over the TV each Saturday morning. Not one little bit.

New Beer Find!!!!

Lindemans Framboise

Sweet niblets, this is the best drink I have EVER had. A sweet little waitress suggested this at BJ's last night, where we were having our PTO meeting (we like to drink beer at our meetings).

It looks like wine, pours like a beer with a little foam, and goes down so easy with no bitter aftertaste. Oh how I love thee.

I can't imagine I'll ever drink anything else, that's how much I loved this.

I am going to a liquor store today to get some. (Cause in our state, that's where you have to buy stuff like this.)

So if you come over anytime soon (Slim, to watch FNL?) you are going to have to try some!

Have You Heard About?

The Love Dare

I saw this at Sam's yesterday and picked it up.

I know, I know. You want to say, "Sasha, you always have grand plans for things that are 'projects'. You often buy things like this, read a few chapters, then get busy and they get pushed to the side. Remember 100 Pushups?????"

Yeah, yeah. Don't you judge me! I totally finished the Couch to 5K Plan!

And I think this is different. This looks cool. It's a 40 day program and the back of the book says "The Love Dare is a journey you need to take. It's time to learn they keys to finding true intimacy and developing a dynamic marriage. Take the dare!"

So I think I will. I think Mr. Sasha and I have a great relationship, but life is crazy these days with Mr. Sasha's biz, my job, two small children, and countless other things. I think I could use some reminders to put things in perspective and make our marriage "Fireproof".

It's about 2 pages per day to read, complete with relevant scripture and a dare. Today's dare: "For the next day, resolve to demonstrate patience and to say nothing negative to your spouse at all. If the temptation arises, choose not to say anything."

Want to join in?

If You Are A Boy

Don't read this post. This one's for the girls.

Girlies, I don't know if you are built like me, but I have no shoulders at all so I have to wear T-back bras to keep the straps up.

A friend here at work suggested Maidenform and said they have some great T-back bras, so I placed an order last week, and I love them! There's about 3 to choose from.

Anyway, I wanted to share the deal with you.

Right now, if you order $75, it's free shipping. And going through ebates.com will get you 6% back. Plus I found the code brafit0808 at RetailMeNot and got 20% off! So I got 4 bras shipped for $73.50 and I'll get $4.41 back from ebates.

Heck of a deal.

Have You Followed My Instructions Yet?

and purchased Max Factor's Lash Perfection Volume Couture Mascara?

In my town, Wal-Mart seems to be the only place that carries it. My friend Amanda and I found it there last week and she picked one up and used a $2 coupon I gave her. (She told me last night that she LOVES this mascara! Told ya!)

It just so happens that I have some more $2 coupons that BzzAgent gave me to give to my friends! So if you are local and would like one, just let me know!

Phew! I Did Something Right!

Remember last year's Thomas Debacle?

Well, I got the right day this year!!!!!! Yay for Sasha!

The Politician and his friend C has an absolute blast at Day Out With Thomas! These days C is into saying "Cheese" the entire time you are shooting his pic. That's what he's saying in the pic above.

Fun stuff!

Hot Damn

Lookie what I did- all by myself! A 3 column template!

Actually, I followed the step-by-step guide at The Blogger Guide and made changes to the html and it worked! Modifying your current html code insures you don't lose your widgets. (Although my Running Revolution blogroll seems to have gone missing....)

Off to tweak!

I'll be emailing you later this weekend to get your mailing info.

Congrats!

Revelation

I am pretty sure I run better if I've had a few beers the night before- my best time ever was after a girl's night out and 5 beers. I've only had 2 so far, and it's already 10:05, but I think I'll have one more and see if my theory is correct.

3 Column Template?

I think I would like to have a 3 column template.

Any ideas on good places to get one? I would like something simple like what I have now. No busy background or patterns- just a solid color.

I am finding some stuff on modifying the html myself, and I may give that a shot. Unless of course, someone has a simpler idea.
