This look is cute and affordable...

Okay I was able to play tonight and put together a similar look to the one I posted on Tuesday.  This one is pretty close.  Obviously it's a little different.  The total of this look is $245 meaning it is $8332 less.  Let me know what you think.  :)


The affordable weekend look!

School Pictures

The Diva brought home her school pictures yesterday.  She hates them of course.  I think they are cute.  She says "that MAN made me turn my head like that.  I look like I am challenged."  I told her she looked beautiful.  She said the only good thing about the picture is you can see her Michael Kors bling on her shirt.  Here it is:

Cute weekend look for some...


Oh and here is a cute weekend look.  I really like all the darker colors with the pops of PINK.  Of course that handbag alone costs almost 7 grand so it's not like I am running out tomorrow to purchase it.  But I like the look even if the total cost is $8577.  I mean I can't think of anyone I know who can afford it, well Kim K can, although I am not sure those jeans would fit on her super fabulous rear.  My challenge is to create an affordable look that is similar.  Oh and you can try it too!  (oh and in case you are not familiar the look was created on polyvore...)

Cute weekend LOOK!



Sleep & Chores...

Sleep has become a thing of the past around here.  I remember the days when I could sleep until 10-11 am.  Now I am lucky if I sleep past 4am on a weekday and occasionally I can make myself sleep till 7am on a weekend.  I feel like that means I am OLD.  Only old people get up before daylight or before the chickens; as we say in the south.

These days I am up at around 4 am or so, doing laundry, cleaning the bathroom, mopping the floor.  Sure they all need to be done, but I still enjoy sleep when it comes.  Why back in the day (see: an OLD people reference, only OLD people say- back in the day -) I would just be getting home at 4 am.  Sad, sad!

Something else that irritates me is Kevin.  Looking at the clock it is now around 5:30 am.  He does not have to be at work until 7am.  He is leaving now.  It's all of 20 minutes to work.  My point is they do not start paying you till 7am why would you want to show up every day at least an hour early?  I mean sure I show up early sometimes, like when I have a project to do.  But every day is insanity.  I guess he figures he is up, might as well leave.  The difference is I figure I am up, I should do laundry or clean the bathroom.

Okay, so the truth is: the fact that he does not see those things need to be done is what really irritates me.  Men they are so oblivious.  Good thing he is cute.

Have a great day all Muah!

Resurrect this blog!

I have been contemplating resurrecting this blog for a while.  I miss the outlet for my craziness and well a few people have said I am funny.  Not sure about all that. 

So much has changed since I was last here.  There have been some great things.  I published a book under the pen name of Kelli Lee Mosley.  It’s called Another Chance.  I am not sure I want to do it again but hey it is off my bucket list.  The Diva has grown so much she is nearly as tall as me.  I will get some pictures up ASAP to show you how cute she still is.  (Yes, I am her mother; but I know I am not the only one that notices how cute she is…) Kevin and I have been married 11 years now.  Crazy times, man.  We have new babies in the family.  Really cute ones, at last count 5 new nieces and 5 new nephews.  Not to mentions a few marriages have been celebrated to go along with those babies.  I have re-connected with some family that I have not talked to in ages.  That has been great. 

And with all things there have been some not-so-great times as well.  We lost Uncle Raymond last year.  He is still missed so very much.  He was our family comedian and get-togethers are not the same without him. My friend Jan (you have heard me mention her) she was in seriously bad car accident.  Thankfully she is now on the road to recovery, but it was scary none the same.  My other BFF Stephanie she moved away, BUT she came back.  So that was bad, but now it is good that she back home.  I missed her so VERY much.
The world has also changed a lot as well.  Social Media is everywhere.  From Facebook to Twitter to Pinterest (probably my favorite) it’s all about getting out there. 

Update on the Diva:
She is now 9 years old and in the 4th grade.  She is still an excellent student and has a wide range of interests and her personality is just as huge as ever.  -As anyone who follows me on Facebook can attest to- She has decided soccer is her sport and she plays either defense or midfields man.  And what will cause you to roll with laughter is: YES, I was her coach this season.  Go ahead, laugh.  Yes, it is funny.  Heck even I think it’s hilarious.  Reading seems to be her thing.  She has now read all of the Harry Potter books, Kingdom Keepers books, Peter and The Starcatchers and now she has moved on to some classics such as Anne of Green Gables and Judy Blume.  You can often hear her laughing at the antics of Fudge in the SuperFudge series.  She has asked to read Twilight as of now I have told her NO.  While she has seen the movies, the books are more intense and I don’t think at 9 she is ready. 

Update on the Princess:
All goes well as far as I can tell, I had some ups and downs this summer but I am finally feeling better.  And I seem to have gotten back on track health-wise.  I have expanded my passion for photography somewhat.  Kevin finally broke down and bought me a good camera and I have certainly put it and my MacBook to use.  (Photo’s to come; I promise) and other than that I have just been busy being me.  Why not be me, everyone else is taken – at least that is how the saying goes. 

Update on Kevin:
He is still the same old, laid back, easy going Kevin.  Pretty much content to do what “his girls” –that is what he calls us- wants to do.  He is now working closer to me and we have lunch together quite often, which is something we have never been able to do.  It seems to be having a positive impact on us. 
Work is still work, no paycheck unless you go there; unfortunately I have not figured away around that.  I need a paycheck to support my Michael Kors habit so I continue to go each day. 

That is pretty much it for now.  I promise now that yall are caught up, it will be fun updates from now on.
Little things like:
  • I am thankful for hairspray today. I know that is superficial but had you seen my hair before hairspray you would understand the wonders it wrought this morning. :)
  • The Diva killed a squirrel with her 4-10 Shotgun, Saturday…
  • I wish I could explain the very depths to which, I loathe and despise laundry. I like to buy clothes, wear clothes and see them hanging in my closet. BUT I can find nothing I like about laundry. NOT.A.SINGLE.THING!
  • The Diva just figured out there are 118 days until we go to Disney again. She smacked her hand on her forehead & said "oh dear goodness, I am never going to survive that!!" So dramatic she is.
Those are all from facebook, but I will endeavor to have separate Diva-ism’s for the blog!
Muah!  Pictures to come!!

Happy Birthday to me!!

Well my birthday was Thursday! It was a pretty good day. I gotta cake that was my highest priority. You know me, rarely have I met a cake I didn't like. Presents were good! I love presents. Friday night was Kenny Chesney! And OH MY GOD... I love me some Kenny Chesney. The concert was fabulous. Miranda Lambert opened for him and she did a pretty good job. No voice on Saturday, but hey who needs a voice. Dallas won today and that was fabulous! Love me some Cowboys winning! Must go back to work tomorrow! Which is not anything I want to do.

Counting down the days until the Diva, Stephanie and little blondie and me escape to Disney World! Girls Road trip and all! October 23rd... is worth looking forward too!

what would it take to make a man clean up

Ok I love Kevin. I truly do, BUT he drives me crazy. What would it take to have him pick up his own crap? I mean why are his shoes in the middle of my kitchen? Why does he leave his glass on the coffee table? Why does he leave his clothes outside of the linen closet, when the basket is inside the closet? Does he think these think miraculously take care of themselves? I think he does. I really do. So we are having a contest that he does not know about. I am not washing any of his socks until he puts them in the basket. At this point it has been 1 week that I have not washed any. I want to see if he will go in search of them or just think that they all disappeared.
