    Happy Wednesday guys!

    Guess what? Zach rolled over today and I missed it!!!! After all these weeks of not leaving his side, rooting for him to roll over, he does it this morning when momma’s not looking. Sneaky kid. I literally walked out of the room for 2 mins to order my mom’s bday present, I walk back in and Zach’s on his stomach smiling away. I demand a re-do. Maybe tonight?

    Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!

    Hope you’re having a nice week so far. I went to lunch with four of my new neighbors friends today. They are such sweet ladies. They’ve been giving me the scoop on everything Texas. Apparently every Wednesday they meet up for lunch. Isn’t that nice? Since I’m new to the hood, they’ve extended the lunch invite to me too :0)

    After lunch I went to Sunglass Hut to replace my lost Ray-Bans. Sephora is across the way, so of course I had to go in a “browse.” Yeah, browse my ass, I walked out with some fab finds!

    I can’t wait to play around with all these amazeball colors tomorrow!

    Friday Faves

    Posted in: Shopping

    Yes, I am blogging from my bed. It’s quite comfortable and I should really do this more often.

    scary

    Hmmmmm…

    Truth is, I’m obsessed with the news and I find myself watching it every chance I get. Zach went to down about an hour ago, Stu is playing his stupid Maddon game upstairs, so momma’s getting her blogging on AND watching the news. Don’t be jealous of my hot Thursday night.

    It’s funny because the news down here isn’t half as depressing as it is up north. The lead stories aren’t about murders and robberies. It’s refreshing. I’m not scared when it’s time to go to bed.

    Okay, on to my Friday Faves. These are a few of the things I’ve been into lately.

    1) I’m back on the Victoria’s Secret “Amber Romance” band wagon. Reason being, TIGI’s catwalk series sessions smell exactly like Amber Romance and that’s why I’m so into it (again.) Wear both and it’s a win win.

    LOVE

    I have the dry shampoo and hairspray. The session series are the most delicious smelling hair products I’ve ever used. Truth, or as the Kardashians say, “bible.”

    2) You know me and mascara. My all time, hands down, never- will -not -wear- it favorite brand is Bobbi Brown’s “No Smudge.” I do think $24 for a tube the size of my pinky finger is a little ridonk though. If I didn’t love it so much, I would never spend that kind of money on mascara. Anyway…good news is that I found an equally great mascara! Yes, it’s true! Are you ready for it? I was at Ulta the other day when I walked by Rimmel’s latest mascara, “Scandaleyes.” Ouuu, so scandalious. It was the size of the wand that sold me. I’m a mascara snob. I’ve tried every brand, expensive and cheap, I’ve hated them all. I’m stoked to have found a cheap mascara that meets my expectations (and trust me, they’re high.) Bobbi, you might be taking a little hiatus from these lashes for a while. Gotta get my scandy on.

    3) Lastly, I’ve made two seperate trips to Bath & Body works this week because of the insane sales they’ve got going on, and because I love the holiday candle selection they’re trying to get rid of. It’s a shame I didn’t actually buy any of these scents 3 weeks ago (when it would have made the most sense to burn.) Midnight Woods, Holiday Gum Drop and Winter Garland are my faves. I think it’s perfectly accetable to burn Christmas candles throughout January. Who’s with me here? Oh, and don’t get me started on the wallflowers.

    Mmmmmm, gum drops. Eat these while your burn your Holiday Gum Drop candle. Now, that’s what you call a real sugar coma.

    This weekend I have a few things to return at Target. Did I mention that there’s a super Target 2.8 miles from our house? Not good for my wallet. We’re having our new tv delivered tomorrow and our friend Chris is coming to town Sunday. Woo Hoo! What are y’all doing? Sorry, but now that I live in Dallas, I kinda have to say y’all, hehe.

    Have a great Friday guys!

    Happy Holidays everyone! It’s officially CHRISTMAS TIME!!!

    Today we took Zach to the KOP mall to meet Santa! (God, I’m gonna miss this mall.)

    in line waiting for the big moment

    Waiting our turn. Almost there.

    Here we go. Zach, please don’t cry….

    “I just had a Zach attack.” -Santa

    Zach was a perfect little elf when it was time to sit with Santa.

    Zach loved seeing all the decorations and lights at the mall. We were definitely feeling in the holiday spirit today. Since it was our last visit to my favorite mall EVER, I could not walk out empty handed. No way. Good thing Lululemon happened to be the store we were approaching as I told Stu this, hehehe.

    I bought one last parting gift before we left KOP forever, wahhhhhhh!!!

    This scuba hoodie is very “Dallas weather” friendly.

    I don’t normally buy stuff from Lululemon because I think their prices are insane. Seriously, $110 for yoga pants? Bite me. That being said, this coat immediately caught my eye (like, from the moment I stepped 2 feet in the store.) I’ve been looking for a good in-between-seasons coat, and this little lady was definitely the one. Early Christmas gift to me??

    After the mall, we met up with our good friends (and Zach’s God Momma,) Cynthia, Jim, Trey and little Kate. This would be our last dinner together before we move to Dallas. Next time we see them, it’ll be in the spring when they come down to visit. I remember years ago, pre-kiddos, Jim, Cynth, Stu and I would meet at Champps for dinner. We did that a lot. Boy, have times changed (for the better of course.)

    Christmas card?

    We're a merry bunch :0)

    Zach was spent. He had a long (but fun) day.

    Next weekend, we’re going to tackle the Shady Brook farm Christmas light show. Hope he can stay awake to see all the sparking lights.

    Hope you’re all having a great weekend!

    Oh yes! Mom (aka Marzy, aka Meems,) and I did it again. It was indeed another successful year of our traditional Christmas Target Takeover.

    If you missed last year’s extravaganza, click here.

    What is a Christmas Target Take-Over?

    In a nutshell, my mom and I galavant around Target like we own the place and act like 12 yr. olds posing with the wonderful Christmas decor. It’s stupid, but it’s fun, so it’s okay. We like to kick off the holiday season with some serious laughs, lolololololol :0)

    I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves.

    my mother kicked things off by trying on this beautiful green tree skirt. Hot mom!

    I liked all the balls on these trees :0)

    my mom is obsessed with sticking her face inside random wreaths. Remember last year?

    That tree was heavy as hell and the branches almost poked my eyeballs out.

    Marzy likes presents, clearly.

    foiled green branches make for a festive hair accessory.

    Who says ornaments can only be hung on trees? They can also be worn hanging from your lushious lobes. Obvs.

    If only these suckers were real.

    those are some big ass ribbons. Who the heck would want to mess with these on Christmas morn?

    I wanted some ornament earrings for myself. Bam! In yo face!!

    gumballs mom? really?

    midget my ass

    don’t ask.

    A confetti Christmas tree. Who would think?

    Marzy’s not a fan of the Charlie Brown Christmas tree.

    This is what I’m talking about. CANDY CANE HERSHEY’S KISSES :0)

    Where’s Marzy? Wait, she’s underneith the Christmas Tree display, hahaha.

    Hey it’s pretty nice underneath all these trees.

    I have no one to kiss under the mistle toe. Stu was watching Zach.

    And can someone please explain to me who would put a pink flamingo in their yard? Floridians are allowed, but that’s it.

    Marzy’s back under the trees. She likes those evergreens, bwahahaha!

    So there you have it kids. We were in Target for a good two hours acting like fools. Please note that we were snapping shots while other normal people shopped. We got a few stares, but we got some chuckles too. This is just one example of why you shouldn’t take yourself too seriously. Always make room for some good laughs!

    Merry Christmas friends!

    Lisa and Marzy
