Crazy of Moving!

From Diary of A Move With Kids, Dogs, and one crazy GYPSY!
Our move is about done and it has been EVENTFUL! Three kids, two dogs, a husband, Barb ( my GPS,) and Gypsy (his GPS) make for one crazy trip through the south. Barb is the perfect GPS and Gypsy, well Gypsy takes routes like, well, a Gypsy!

Hotel living consists of two rooms, with dogs and three of us in one and two in another. Traveling with dogs makes me think, why?! What was I thinking?! We don't have crying babies with us, but we do have barking dogs. Along comes my savior, to help save my sanity!

What is the SAVIOR? Hmmm... Wait for it! Wait for it!

Doggie Daycare! Just make sure you don't call it Doggie Daycare to the staff, because they call it Doggie Day Camp! It's the deal of the century! My pups love it! We drive past it and they go nuts!

That's it for now.
Until I have a little Sparkle or Pink to share!

Doggie Daycare Mommy! Don't take another picture! Let's go!

Mommy, I love my picture getting taken by you!

My Sparkling Mermaid

The Mermaids of Norfolk

There are so many things to do when we make the big move. Something fun will be to find the Mermaids. Ok, sounds very much a "chick thing," and that's ok to think that. I am of the female persuasion. :) There are about 170 mermaid sculptures, like this one, but painted and decorated differently. I can't wait find and photograph all my mermaids. My boy just told me, "Mommy, don't go overboard on the Mermaids."

Me go overboard on something? Never! Ha! 

Sparkly yes. Feeling sparkly, not so much.

How lucky our we this June? We found a beautiful, historic, and turn key home in the heart of the historic district of Norfolk. I had no idea such a place existed in such a military community. It's classic gem, among other classic gems. The difference is that this is our Colonial gem. I'm happy and so excited to move in, in the next 6 weeks.

Not so sparkly is the feeling that I need to pack up and change everything. Florida hasn't been my favorite, but the kids have really found their niches. From the high school, to the friends, and finally the the swim team that has become my two younger ones' haven. It's a hard one to tackle emotionally.

I'll tackle this head on and with all the grace I can conjure, in this soon to be 40 something of myself. xoxo
Until Later,

Gifting, Getting, Wine, and Ass Backwardness of FL!

Wonderful World of Christie....Diary from gifting, getting, wine, and ass backwardness of FL!
When my husband decided that he wanted to return ALL of his birthday gifts, from me, I could have really been mad. Then he said in the same breath, "Let's just return these things now and get you some new clothes." Well, how could I argue with that? LOL. I'd say he's the HARDEST person to shop for, but actually He's lucky he has such a great wife. I have supplied him with every single gadget and electronic thing..plus the unmentioned good stuff...that a man could want. So, really, he's just lucky he wants for NOTHING! He did say a 32KG Kettlebell would be nice. UGH! He's been doing kettlebells before they were cool. LOL. We have so many freaking KBs.

Next, let me introduce you to class. Meet my new favorite thing, The Target Wine Cube.

I pull out my fancy crystal, because that's how I roll, and taste the YUM. It really is tasty.
Finally, I am going to work out this morning. My kids seem to be the only kids who have to go to school on Presidents' Day, but hey, here in the Tampa area they will give the kids the day off for the state fair and the Strawberry Festival! LOL. Now here's a state with their priorities!

PS...Rick Santorum Scares me.
Until I something good to say, later...

Whitney Houston - Didn't We Almost Have It All

Wonderful World of Christie...Diary Of My Memories In Song.
Whitney was my songbook. I hear her voice and the memories flood to my heart and soul. I can't hear Whitney sing and not sing with her. I miss this voice. I remember this voice.

D Cups Do Not Need Padding!

The Wonderful World of Christie...Diary From The Quest For Sexy..

Just another fun fun fun conversation with my hubby. He loves me. He's a man. There's some TMI language, but if you read me, then you know how the words just flow from the fingers.

"Hunny, I need you to do something today. GO on VS (Victoria's Secret) and order something," He said with a sexy little wink. LOL.
"Ok, but does it have to be sexy or can it be comfy?" I asked, without any coffee and holding the peanut butter knife while listening to the dogs gobble up their food. It was quite the sexy moment.

Gotta love him. :) I'll take a look, but my ass is so not thong or semi thong worthy, in my opinion. LOL. I've got the boobs, though. Oh and PS, when did it become standard to put padding in bras? D cups do not need paddingk I'm done.

Happy Friday Friends and Lurkers. Comment and I'll follow you!
Find a little PEACE today and embrace your sexy. Sexy does not mean perfect. I'll tell myself that today when I'm ordering the hubby's requested item. :)
XOXO
