UBP 2011 (And $50 GIVEAWAY)!

April 1, 2011 by Maren 47 Comments

It’s Party Time, and I’m linking up! Stick around and join me on this adventure that I (and hopefully you) call LIFE! I’m lovin’ the journey, I tell you!

If you’re looking to meet me in person, Here’s a video of mine that I share every year on this day. It’s a song I wrote and entered into a talent show–perhaps on the more serious side, but with a heartfelt message. (*wink *wink.)

If you’re trying to figure out my ‘blog style,’ I blog about life: the occasional sentiment, my goofy catastrophes, pictures I take, my chil’n, and just about everything else.

Thanks for stopping by! And what’s a party without a door prize!?!?! It’s my first ever blog giveaway, unless you count the time I tried to give away my cat…or the time I had a drawing for a package of butter in Paula Deen’s honor! So are you curious about the loot? One commenter will receive a $50 gift card to Amazon.com delivered by email! Whether you’re family, friend, a new reader, or just stoppin’ over for the giveaway loot, leave a comment! On April 8th, I’ll have a random drawing and annouce the winner!

Thanks for partying with me!

EDIT: CONGRATS TO KRISTA, COMMENT #18 for winning the $50 loot! Thanks everyone for partying!

Child, Meet Sleep

March 31, 2011 by Maren 2 Comments

Little One, this is a special news announcement from your mother.

It’s okay to sleep at naptime.

It’s not as big of a deal as you are making it to be.

Sleep is a good thing.

Sleep is your friend.

You should get to know each other.

Hopefully I can introduce you soon. It seems every time I try to get you two together, something comes up.

Until then, know that I love you–even if you and my BFF are at odds.

Say No to Love(Handles)

March 24, 2011 by Maren 5 Comments

Today, I’m drinking water out of a straw so I’ll think my breakfast was from McDonald’s. Maybe then the oatmeal that I am about to eat will morph into a Sausage Mcgriddle, the feed-my-cholesterol sandwich of choice. Four months into having big ole baby #2, I’m still working on shedding the 40 plus poundage that clings to my love handles like static to pants. And we won’t even talk about my cholesterol levels.

I’ve been told by family members that I need to get out of my maternity clothes, yet I’m stuck in the middle of ‘old-size’ and ‘goal-size’ and I’m too stinkin’ cheap to buy much in between. So please try and pardon my temporary frump with a few bouts of exposed elastic waistbands.

Tonight however, and with the help of a friend, I’m going shopping for a few items to tide me over. Here’s to hoping there aren’t tears in the dressing room. And here’s to hoping that I have more luck than when I bought the lot of clothes on ebay.

Though, I hate my clothes/body/situation, I keep going back to the reason for my predicament and am thankful that he’s worth it. Both of them, for that matter. Here’s some favorite point-and-shoots of late.

Their loss…My Joke

March 18, 2011 by Maren 3 Comments

Last week, I had to run into the Dollar General for a couple items. In the parking lot, I found a new small bottle of dish washing detergent which probably fell out of someone’s bag as they got into their car.

I had an internal debate about what to do: If I left it, the next person would have taken it; yet, If I were to take it, maybe its owner would come back. Would you like to know what I decided?

“Their loss, my GAIN!”

Or maybe that should have been “Their loss, my ULTRA Gain.”

HARDEEHAR! I’ll be here all day, folks!

Seriously, what would do you do in these situations? What do you do when money is left in the UScan? I’d love to know your thoughts!
