M.M.C.U!

I know!
I've been busy - legitimately busy!
And sick; it that will help any......

So here is what has been going on since my last post.  Except it to be very scattered and probably a touch confusing.  Please forgive me.  I have a stellar head cold and I think I might have taken 2 of the red tabs when one was sufficient.  Web MD has assured me I will not die but am in for a interesting afternoon! A ha!    

• The gym has become my little, little lady.  I am getting strong and have noticed my clothes have been fitting me differently.  I also have discernibly muscles - yes; this lass!  And just in time for this crappy cold fall-like weather we have been having....that's OK; I'll just stun you all in the spring after I have a year under my belt! =D 
• November 11th is creeping up on me ever so quickly......
• I have been listening to Craig Ferguson's stand up non-stop - I have perfect my Scottish accent.  Now I just need to get back over there and try it out on the local population....
• Terri and I spent the day at the Devil's Punch Bowl.  I love it there - though it seems to be where all the kids go to deal drugs.  Not on my watch!  Wait and see....I'm gonna get shot! 
• Been tearing ass around the woods at the shop on the new 3-wheelers.  I see why they are banned; they are sketchy as hell!  If the drug dealing 13 year old punks don't get me; cracking my melon open on a tree because I can't tell remember which is clutch and which is brake, is a legitimate possibility.  Because helmets are apparently only for the educated......it is fun as hell tho!
• Jason and I have been trying to figure out where we are going to spend Christmas/New Years.  I want Bali, He wants the Caribbean; for what I can only assume has to do with Pirates.   I've been to the Caribbean.......we are going to Bali.   Otherwise it's Mexico.  Again.  :/
• I have a chest cold that becomes a head cold that morphs back into a chest cold.......the cycle is getting old.  And I miss smelling.  Is it May yet?!
• I am currently 1-1 in my Fantasy Football league.........and in 2nd place.  It may only be week 2 but I am the only chick in the league --- and I drafted legitimately this year.  I did not take into account their ass in spandex or the size of their biceps; I used legitimate numbers from last year.  So suck it!  =D

• Jason helped me conquer/goaded me into getting over my fear of heights when we went to Hoffman Hills last weekend and we climbed the 80 ft. observation tower.  My stomach still is upset from that whole tortuous experience! But it was pretty.
• It was Bruiser 1st Birthday party yesterday - I cannot believe that it has already been a year!  I can literally hear my biological clock ticking in my ear - the bastard - being surrounded by babies yesterday DID NOT help that cause at all.  I need a puppy.  Or a goldfish.  Hell, a pet rock.
• We turned the heat on.  WE TURNED THE HEAT ON!!!! <------------- O.o WTF!
• Todd and Amanda moved less then 10 blocks away from us - totally the best thing ever!  Not we just need to learn how to sync our schedules so we can toss back some beers an rock out the N64! 
• Jason got me flowers.  I am still suspicious. =)
• My German fluency is almost back to 100%.  Not sure why you (dear reader) would care but to me it has some meaning.
• 10 years since I have lived in Germany this month - I have been doing a lot of reminiscing and looking back.  I kinda wish I would have stayed sometimes....... 

That is all the dulled brain can think of......... I'll include some pictures seeing as I have not done a photo post in quite awhile.  

Have a lovely week all!!!!

Terri and I at the Devil's Punch Bowl

 I am afraid of heights yet I pull this jackass move over a 130 ft. cliff - I WANNA CLIMB SOME ROCK!

At the Gym watching Jason warm up with :whew: that many plates!

Tearin; ass! LOL =D

 85ft up and I was shaking like a leaf the whole time......... :ugh:

 I ran all the way down.  See how much happier I am!? 

 Max with one of the toys we gave him.

Hims not a fan of frosting! :(

And because I lack a shame gland - a video of my 85ft panic attack.  Thanks ever so much Jason, so capturing this moment in time.  :muah: 

All things Bruiser related!

I never want kids.  They are whinny little heathens that terrorize and destroy EVERYTHING in their path.  As they get older it only gets worse; especially when then can talk!  They are always sticky and smelly and put stuff in their mouths that is just baffling .  You have to pay attention to them and water them and such.  They cry and are just little buzz kills!  It is too much!  They are not worth it; good on ya if you can put up with that nonsense but christ on a cracker; that crap is not for me!  My mom has always said that I would reap what sowed with my offspring.  NO!  I was a asshole; which means so would my spawn!  There is not enough liquor in the world to get me to subject myself to that!   I am surprised my mom didn't just leave me places and let me fend for myself!  I would have in her place!
But I like kids in small batches (like a hour tops, or until they start crying) so I infant-nap all my friends babies.  Bruiser, now he is a whole other story.  This kid came strolling out of Jules with swagger!  He is probably my 2nd best friend and that is just because he is such a good listener and seems to really care about what I have to say! =)  Plus, he is just a pimp!  Hanging out with him is one of my favorite things to do.  He is such a sweet cuddle bug and he loves his Auntie Effy!  He is the only person that literally FREAKS out when I walk in the door and then squeals until I pick him up and cover him in kisses.  He brightens my days and leaves me in a constant state of giggles.
Now he is getting toofers and getting all big on me and pretty soon; no more squeals of joy when I enter a room.  :(  Here are some pictures of me and Master Bruiser from the last week.
If anyone has any ideas on how to stop him from growing so fast, both Jules and I would appreciate it!

Commencing with adorable Bruiser pictures in 3.......2................1!

 *I'm coming to get kisses!!

*She said WHAT?!?  BTW - check out my new chompers!

*Your kisses have exhausted me; I need a rest!

*Does this pose make me look pimp?

*I'm gonna chew on that horse as soon as you are done harassing me with that camera!

*Let me check this thing out..........what's this button do?! OOPS! =D

*I look cute but I bite now......

*I told you I had ticklish feet!

*I'll oblige for a photo this once......

*Oh!  Boobs! 

*Seriously Tante Effie.......you resort to tickling to get a giggle picture?  Low......

*We're going to the freakin' mall!?  There is hot chicks there!!!!!!!!

*All right crazy lady; put the damn camera down and dress me!  I wanna hit on the ladies!

*I'd rather not be in the boat.  I was licking that frog until you had to drag me over here......

*Are we at a rave?!  I forgot my glow sticks!  

(totally entranced by the strobe and disco light at Spencer's)

And then we took him home and I went back to mine; baby free!  Oh, the joys of being a Tante!!!!  The kid landed me a number today too - he is better then a yellow lab! 

Weekend Recap.

This weekend was stellar by all accounts!!!!!  Saturday was pretty humdrum but I got the house tore apart and cleaned and it sorely needed it.  I make a sorry excuse for a house keeper; I think SD's obsession to OVER cleaning everything, put me off cleaning.  I spot clean =)

I have been losing weight pretty steadily since the doctors can't seem to get their acts together and keep canceling every.single.appointment.daily. I can't afford to keep buying a new size of jeans every week and I am not big into the "baggy jeans" look; so I am doing all dress for this summer.  Bring out the little lady in me! :snort:

I was able to get a sting of a deal at Macy's! They were having a dress sale, plus I had coupons (and my Macy's card - shhhhhhh!!) so when all was said and done; the following dresses totaled up to $25.01!  Not bad! 

A sweet little cotton, yellow lily tie dress from Miu Miu

 A IheartRonson yellow cotton sun dress with a lace hem and a sweet flower clip at the hip. Also a tie dress so that when I lose and gain weight it will still fit.  My "Easter" Dress!

 A Miu Miu water lily slip skirt =D 

 Urban Edge lace up fishscale dress - looks AWESOME with black leggings!!!!!

Urban Edge pink cotton sundress - also a tie

My favorite pick of the bunch!!!!  A 20's inspired silk, lace and cotton sun dress with an adorable throat tie and ribbon detailing at the hem.  I <3 this dress!

I feel like Daisy from the Great Gatsby in this stunner!

The fish scale detailing :sigh: =D

Sunday I got to spend it with my Ladyface and Bruiser to go bridesmaid dress hunting.  I also got a chance to use my new camera on a very willing and flirty subject.  He sure does love the ladies!

Look at those PEEPERS!

 Nekkid Bruiser!

you say whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!

Peekie Boo! :smooch:

Places to go!

Gabbers was there and insisted that we take a picture together; the kid would befriend a ax murder, he is such a sweetie!

It was................

literally like................

trying to...............

wrangle cats!  This is a good as it got! LOL!

My future hubster and I! I love this kiddo!

Jules, Brusier and I never did find bridesmaids dresses (YET!) but we found some other dresses (as seen above) we liked.  I mean, the wedding IS only a month away! Oi! I need to become a Maid of HonorZilla and herd this group in A direction. A singular direction!  

That is all for now!  Hope you all had a fantastic and warm weekend!  Have a great week!

BRUISER UPDATE!

This kid rock my entire face off.  He is a little flirt and already has a problem looking women in their eyeballs.  Still fixated with boobs - we have yet to figure out if it is because Jules weaned him early or because N* is a creeper. =D  Can't help but smile when I see him; regardless of the sexual harassment with the eyes.

My adorable, GINGER HAIRED, Gawd Son! 

Auntie Effy LOVES you, Bruiser!

Wordless Wednesday
