Where are you going??

So in the last 2 days I have lost 4 followers... **sniff** I love followers.

I also have to start blogging regularly. I have missed it. A lot. Life has been SO busy there are HUGE changes (hopefully) coming up that I can not blog about yet......

Some super sad news...

A friend of mine just had a baby.....

Long story short at 30 weeks she went for a check up because of a HUGE amount of weight gain (up to this date everything was in check and the baby was growing properly) and they did an ultra sound and found that there was something wrong with the baby's brain. It was only growing in 2 quadrants and there was a bone growth on the top of her head.

They did a 1000 tests and gave mom and dad the grave news. That if the baby lived to be born would more than likely not live.

They advised her to carry to term (health permitting) and she did, she went full term and they scheduled a C-section.

They had a beautiful baby girl. They were blessed with 18 hours of life and the baby passed away in her mommy's arms.

Her name was Madelyn Born May 19th, 2010 and became an angle May 20th, 2010.

My heart is still hurting for her and her family. This was their first baby.

The funeral is on Friday and I am scared of how emotional I will be. I will try to be strong for mommy and Madelyn but this hits so close to home (how I have been told I can never carry to term)

I can not even imagine what they are going through...

What Not to Wear Wednesday!

Oh YES this is my Oklahoma City Version....


So funny story we asked the lady at the front desk of our hotel (she was 26) where a "hot spot" was to go and dance? We were dressed in jeans and just wanted to go out on have some fun! Well we got a little more than we bargained for!


Ugg these shoes! Y'all know how I love me some shoes but these ones just about killed me. I think I remember a pair of these when I was 10 but on an adult? Also this lady had a "sexy" dress on and these shoes just did not scream "HOT SHOES"?
Oh and this little dozzie. I had to double take.. then triple take on these snazzy little jeans. I even manage to have a little conversation with this young lady about these jeans. They are her fav and she loves them, and "lots of people" tell her how awesome they are...

My fav part is the white socks pulled up... oh yeah!
Full trip post coming up!!!

What do you think of this bad fashion?

Back from OKC!

We had a FABULOUS time! Full post coming soon!




And of all the monuments I have been too this one was amazing.. So well done, do you remember what you were doing? 168 people will killed during the Oklahoma City Booming...

Has it been that long?

Wow its been almost 2 weeks since my last post!

Lots has been going on, I am not going to say yet because its all too exciting but it has nothing to do with babies or homes....

Things have been crazy! Speaking of crazy I leave tomorrow for Oklahoma City to meet one of my bestest friends ever because its half way for both of us. She is in Dallas and I am in Kansas so we are FINALLY getting together after not seeing each other for almost 2 years!

I am so excited! Look out OKC!!!

I need to get caught up! I miss everyones blogs so much!

Trip to the ER

So I tried to get the hubby to take a picture of me in excruciating pain in the ER for blogging purposes and he told me to just blog without pictures...

Pictures would have been so much better...

So I was barfing my face off so bad that on Wednesday night about 2:30 after crazy vomit I woke up the hubby to "Babe I need to go to the hospital"

God love him, the man jumped straight out of bed knowing that if I am asking to go something is "really wrong" (I avoid hospitals like the plague)

I got food poisoning from Mexican food.. yeah not fun at all. But both nurses and the dr kept thinking I might have been pregnant due to my cycle and such.. Yeah so not pregnant and 2 days later I finally feel better!


So needless to day no more Mexican for a LONG time for this girl!

And it was not ALL bad.. They gave me morphine for the pain (it was my WHOLE body and it was BAD) and today I am feeling pretty FABULOUS!

What not to wear Wednesday!

Oh yes.. At first I thought this lady was naked... And then I had a closer look, I wish I would have gotten a closer picture of her face because she about 50. And under her very pretty mid drift leopard print top that accentuated her C-section scar...
Oh yeah and her hair had not been brushed in 2 weeks. And she strutted like she was all that... ugg
And because I can not make this shit up... I ran into these two at Walgreens the other day, and well I had to ask to take a picture because I mean who would BELIEVE THIS??

I had a good laugh and they were on their way to a "Rock Band" contest at his god daughters house who was 7, there were going to be about 30 people there and he wanted to make sure he made an impact because "He would do anything for that little girl"

He even shaved his head! Love it!

Oh May how I love thee..

Its already May.

Which means Summer is almost here! And I could not be more excited. See we are anxiously awaiting news on if we are moving again.

I will not tell you where because I do not want to jinx it. The hubby is REALLY excited and I am trying to play it off like "If it happens, it happens" but either way we are still in a good place.

ANNNNDDD

June we are going home!! To Canada for almost 3 weeks!!! I AM SO EXCITED!! In case you could not tell!!!

We are taking a road trip home, from my front door to my dads is 18 hours so we are going to take my SUV bring Daisy and hit the road!

And ALSO (because I am so blessed) in 3 weeks I will be meeting one of my bestest friends ever in Oklahoma City.

I know whats to be excited about OKC? Well its the 1/2 way mark for us both, shes in Dallas and I am in Kansas so its 4 hours each!! And I have not seen her in 2 years so I am SUPER excited about that trip as well!!

Life is good. I am so blessed.

7 pounds baby!! And a rant

Yeah I lost it!

I wish it was more but its a start. 1 month 7 pounds at this rate I will be 90 before I am at my goal weight...lol

On a side note, I am so disappointed in friends right now.

I had something planned. Something big, and I asked for the support of people I "thought" were friends.

Friend 1 (who I asked 3 weeks ago to attend) I can't I have to work.

Me- Well its 3 weeks away, on a Wednesday evening I am SURE you can get it covered.

Friend 1 - I can't I work.

So umm yeah.

Friend 2 YES I am coming I would be happy to be there.

Me YAY!

Friend 2 (texts me this morning after avoiding 4 messages about the event) I just got a HUGE tax bill for my car I can't come.

Me -Serious? What does a tax bill for your car have to do with supporting me this evening, if you did not want to go that is all that you had to say. We are all adults here and I totally understand but there is no reason to avoid me....

Friend 2- No response.

Frustrated yes I am. But I will get over it. The thing that hurts is if either of these "friends" asked me to be there for them I would be in a heart beat. For instance, this past weekend it was friend #1 birthday bash. I attended BOTH evenings events and so did the husband. Which was HUGE for him. And she can not even attend one thing for me for an hour?

Does this happen to anyone else? Or just me?

I hate to be negative Nancy but in my experience it seems the more I put myself out there the more I care about people and let them in, the more I am disappointed?

Winner Winner!

So this fabulous Lysol giveaway was won by

Steph over at Watching Airplanes!

I am so excited for her to get this because its the most fabulous thing since moisturizing hand sanitizer.. which YOU ALL WON!!!

I am a coupon god and I have an "overstock" of this fabulous stuff from Gold Bond and its hand sanitizer however its ALSO LOTION! And for someone who washes their hands as much as me this stuff is FABULOUS!!



So just for entering my giveaway (I think there were 7 of you) YOU ALL WIN A SMALL BOTTLE OF fabulous moisturizing hand sanitizer!

So email me y'alls addresses crazyrandommusings at yahoo dot ca and your surprise will be in the mail!

Well except for Steph who has not only won the FABULOUS Lysol dispenser she will also have some more fabulous goodies in her package!

Thanks for all that entered!

Giveaway!

So I don't know if y'all are like me, but when new products come out I am always so skeptical to try them

The NEW Lysol Hands free soap dispenser was one of the things I "wanted" to try but did not want to spend $15 to see if I was going to like it.

Turns out I LOVE IT! Its so fabulous, especially in the kitchen. I never realized how yucky my hands get when preparing dinner and its just so darn easy!!



And I HAVE ONE TO GIVEAWAY!!!

Why? Well because I am a couponing goddess and I figure there are some of you that want to try it too and do not want to fork over the $$ to try a $15 soap dispenser?



So what I am giving away to a fellow blogger is One Lysol hands free starter kit, as well as a refill! And some more goodies too! But they will be a surprise!

Giveaway runs till Sunday April 25th at 9pm Central Time!

And this post is not in anyway paid for sponsored by the makers of Lysol all opinions expressed are my own.. : )

What Not to Wear Wednesdays!

I'm back!!

I post a week is so not acceptable. I have a HUGE amount of stuff going on right now and I am SO happy. Things are really starting to look up!

Anyways without further adu....



All I can say about this is.. Its her friends fault.. Because OBVIOUSLY nothing she is wearing fits



This is just so strange to me??

Oh and come back tomorrow.. For a GIVEAWAY!! How fun!

Work is sucking the life out of me!

So I ended up sick again. Yep bronchitis AGAIN! So the Dr had banned me from Yoga.

umm its been 1 1/2 months and I think I may go back today...


On a funny note, at work the other night this lady hands me her payment and says

"I'M NOT A STRIPPER!!!"

Ummm ok lady, just because you pay your bill with $60 in singles....

And just for the record, she was SO a stripper. Clear heals, trashy makeup, boobies all out and all!

Oh and y'all know how I love me some thrift stores? Well I found this DARLING little end table that I LOVE and the top is all stained so I bought it for $2.50 brought it home (the hubby thinks its ugly) and upon further investigation I found some stamps on it.

Yeah this table I bought for $2.50 SELLS ON EBAY FOR $2400!!!!!

Its a vintage antique table by Weiman furniture!!!

How lucky is that! Now I just have to figure out what I am going to do!

Do you see that?

So as cool as I think this is (growing up on Harley's and learning to ride a motorcycle before I learned to drive a car)

Its so unsafe...

But it looks pretty damn cool.. the DOG LOVED it!

I wish I would have gotten a video!

Letting myself down

OK so a little pity party for myself.

I vowed on April 1st to start a 28 day detox. Which is basically eating right and exercising more.

Guess how good I am doing?

Oh yeah. Well the good news is I am not gaining any weight and the bad news is I am not losing any.

I know tomorrow is a new day to start fresh, but when you wake up in the morning and all you want to do is eat cookies, and candy this is going to be harder than I thought!

Any suggestions? Its already the 6th and NOTHING is happening to my body! Well I guess I should just scare y'all with some gross pictures of me in a bikinni.. I am sure that will do it for me!

What not to wear Wednesday!

Well as you notice I had to stop at the mall for a few items when I happened upon these 2 little dozzies. This lady (If we can call her that) is ready to drop it like it is hot at the club. I wish I was bold enough to get the front of this outfit because LET ME TELL YOU EVERYTHING WAS HANGING OUT! You could see her belly button it was that bad. And what you can not see in this picture is SHE IS WITH 2 SMALL CHILDREN! In 4 inch boots.

I think I am just going to have to get braver and WHIP out my actually camera to get better pictures.. this does not do this justice.
And then as I am getting ready to leave the mall... I walk into this fine specimen based on the clothing pajama clothing choice you would assume this LADY is about 16, 17? No?
No that's her daughter who is about 16,17 and her mother who is about 60 (no joke) must have raided her daughters closet. She is wearing about 5 layers of stuff, with a baseball cap on backwards... What you can not see in this picture is the BLUE crocks. Oh yeah
See even the other lady in the pic did a double take...

The nerve of some people!

Where does the time go?

I have been such a bad blogger! I have been peaking in here and there but as for posts from me I have slacked a little.

Do y'all go through that? Where you have so much to say but can never really muster up the energy to say it?

I have 1/2 a day off today which means I have to work 1 of my 2 jobs today. Its getting so tiring and exhausting it seems, putting in ALL these hours and it seems we can just not get any further ahead?

Friday I have a day off and I am going to pack up all my coupon stuff I have acquired (with the help of the hubs) and take it to the flea market!

I am so exciting to get rid of most of this stuff. I never thought trying to "give it away" or "donate" it would be such a hassle.

Really I started couponing as a way to help others (and our pocket books) and its a funny hobby. Well one of the places I brought a HUGE amount of shampoo and conditioner and body wash to, I checked in to see how they were doing....

THEY WERE SELLING THE STUFF!!! And I am PISSED!

I donate this stuff (they happen to be a food cupboard) so that they could GIVE IT AWAY to people who needed it with their food donations.

Well the lady who runs the place states "Well people take advantage of it and "claim" they need soap and shampoo and conditioner, we have to sell it so people do not just ask for it!!"

WHAT THE F!! I mean really. PEOPLE NEED THESE THINGS! They are a item that its kinda hard to live without, sort of like food and water?

SO they are off my list of places to donate and its just so frustrating to have been taken advantage of like that.

I am a little hurt.

Prayers please

I know we all know there is a war going on and that many of our service men and women are over there giving there lives.

Please go to A little Pink In a World of Camo and send your prayers. She has just lost the love of her life in this war.

It breaks my heart and I pray for her and her newborn baby.

Should I be upset?

I had a dream the other night about a dear friend of mine.

I had flown out for her wedding in Canada in August last year.

Well in the dream she was pregnant. And as soon as I woke up I emailed her to tell her I was thinking about her and to tell her about my dream.

Well she is pregnant. 4 months. And I had no idea.

I am hurt.

I know we are busy, and maybe have not chatted in a while but from the way I look at it, 4 months and no email?

Should I be upset? I am just really bummed she did not bother to tell me before now...

I mean I AM SO EXCITED for her and I cried when I heard but I just feel a little cheated.

Am I over reacting?
