insta-s'weeeet!

linking up with jeanette for another week of insta.
life rearranged


i'm still on a blog sugar high,
digesting all the sweet i consumed last weekend!

did you know that sugar is an important source of energy for the body?

 well, blog sugar definitely energized me!

i came away with a renewed appreciation and passion for blogging.

watch out!

one of the highlights of blog sugar was getting to be with blog friend turned real life friend, kristen.
a.k.a "idaho mom."
she brought me cookies.
to say "i love her cookies" is an understatement.  i do NOT share them.
i've vlogged about her cookies here and here.
otis spunkmeyer should beware.
kristen's love language is gifts.
{i reeally need to be a better gift giver}
she brought me presents for my birthday.  which is 48 days from now.
{maybe you should make a paper chain to count the days till the big day
when i am in my middle upper 30's}

 one of the gifts was the game "tune baya."
kristen has been around me enough to know "everything's a song."
if this post was a song it would be to the tune of carley simon's "your so vain,"
and i'd be singing
"i bet you think this post is about kristen's cookies,
don't you, don't you."
{i think that was funnier in my head then it was in writing)

victory rd. get'n some sugar with idaho mom!
do you see my pleated poppy wristlet clutch there on the table between us?
i love it.
perfect size.
you should go buy one for yourself now.


post blog sugar breakfast at the old vine cafe in costa mesa
with these  blog sugar girls
did. not. disappoint.
the perfect meal to sustain me for the 6hr drive home alone.
{someone should travel with me next year. think about it}

i arrived home to my favorite sweets~
my family. 

the kids saw traces of cookie{s} on my lips, and roared in unison, 
"where's the cookies!?!"
i bribed them to play tune baya with me by paying them with cookies.


and now for a non-sugar, non-kristen, non-cookie update...

i've got big news! 
BIG. 
HUGE!

we are EXPECTING!!!

 a new refrigerator.
the proud parents are expecting it to be delivered late october.
{couldn't resist}

we're also in the market for new toilet seats.
i'm kinda bummed  {no pun intended}
about not having the same brand of toilet we had before.
i liked saying i was "going to church."
{"church" was the brand of the toilet}
 
and because you want to know every detail about my week

i was almost viciously attacked by a snake!
because noah MADE me "come and see it."
{cool moms get past their snake phobias to look at snakes}.
it was a tiny gopher snake {chills}.  
it was all snakey.
in the photo noah is antagonizing the snake with a fishing pole. 
he's one smart cookie {not}...
speaking of cookies i need to wrap this post up so i can go eat one four. 

until next week
{when i'm 5 cookie lbs heavier}

I've decided our clutches are like the Travelocity gnomes...they're always showin' up in the background.

Janene said...

Listening to the song on the link you sent me (again: ) In quite the prayerful state this week.

I love that we are both entering our upper mid 30's...although I'll be there first--a week from today to be exact!!

Also, did I read somewhere that texting and twitter are not your things? Why not? Just wondering...future blog post maybe?

Enjoy your weekend!

You had me going there for
about .86 seconds!
Yet I am almost as excited
for you getting a new fridge
as I would have been a baby.
{ok, maybe not really.}
But a new fridge is AWESOME!!
I might possibly be a tad jealous.
