Dark and Stormy Weekend

You guys ever had a Dark and Stormy?  Well you should.  Live like a pirate and drink your rum.  This delicious cocktail consists of ginger beer, Sailor Jerry spiced rum and lime juice. I am hoping to include this in my weekend plans.

Today is finally Friday!  I have a crazy night of house cleaning planned.  We were in a rush to get Kaci fed, dressed and over to Grandpa's before the show last night.  And whenever I am rushing - my house turns into a disaster zone.  It literally looks like a bomb went off.  Clothes ALL OVER my room and Kaci's, dishes in the sink, as well as every coat is pulled off their hangers in our entry way closet.  I couldn't find my North Face jacket (who looses coats at 31 years old?) so proceeded to throw a temper tantrum.  

Oh and we also have 1 diaper...yes 1 diaper left in our house.  Yikes!  Not to mention that last night I ran out of wipes.  You would think I am new at this kid thing!  Kevin was kind enough to run to the store to grab some wipes while I continued with my temper tantrum.  Look what he came home with:

Correct me if I am wrong, but these are not baby wipes.  These are adult wipes.  Kevin said that they didn't sell baby wipes so he just grabbed these?  He must think I have never been to this store?  He also must have forgotten that we only have 2 stores in our town??  Oh well - they work.

Friday morning photo shoot.  This is just one of the three animal print fur jackets that Kaci owns.  I think the Jersey Shore is calling her name!

A little shy

Then she warmed up!

Sorry for the poor photo quality.  Don't know what was going on .

I Think I am Getting Old

I was going to title this post "What I Will Do With My Power Ball Winnings" but changed it for obvious reasons.

Wake up, go to work, come home, make dinner, eat dinner, do some laundry, watch t.v., go to bed.  When I was in middle/high school, I was positive that this routine that my Mom and Dad kept would never be part of my future.  Shopping, hiking, cocktails, dinner out...this was what my weeknights would consist of for sure!  (I obviously intended to marry rich).  How very wrong I was.  But here is the funny part...I wouldn't want it any other way.  I crave the routine.  It keeps me sane.  It allows me to wake up each morning feeling refreshed.  

Tonight my routine is being thrown out the window.  Kevin and I are going to see a show with friends.  On a Thursday...in Portland...at 8:00 p.m.  OMG...I may be up until 11:00 p.m. tonight!  

Anyone ever heard of Trailer Park Boys????

Hi. I am Jaci and I am a terrible blogger.

So it has been since August 28th since I last posted anything.  You can't say I didn't warn you though.  I do apologize, and just recently (as in 5 minutes ago after reading an email from my Mom) found what might be some motivation.  Here goes nothing...

So what has been going on in my life you ask?  Kaci turned 2 in August.  A few people have been wanting to see her birthday party pictures (Jessica), so I will do a post with those later.  They are on my camera at home.  

Kaci's favorite things include:

asking "why?"

running away from me

hiding from me when it is bed time

pulling all of the toilet paper off the roll when she is sitting on the potty.

waking up at 5:45 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday

sleeping in until 7 Monday through Friday

Well, that should bring you all up to speed.  

So here we are on No Work Wednesday - Thanksgiving Eve edition.  What do my next 4 days include you ask???  Tomorrow will be turkey dinner with my husbands side  of the family.  We will also be popping in to my sisters to enjoy a glass of wine with my side.  I also hope to get my lazy bones up and out the door early for a run before stuffing my face.  Friday I hope to decorate for Christmas and see the new Twilight movie with my friends.  Saturday and Sunday...who knows!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Oh and huge CONGRATULATIONS to Mr. and Mrs. Hardy who got married last night!  Eat, drink and be married Jessica and James!

I will leave you all with some pictures.
