Queen Bee, Honey

Bees, I've got the Bees*.

Yesterday as I was watering my flower pots, which is a shocker in and of itself, I noticed one of our bushes was darker than normal.  As I looked closer, I freaked the F out calmly walked away.



That is what a million.2 bees looks like.


After some research and some helpful hints from people on Facebook, we learned that more than likely it's the bee colony relocating the queen.  Which apparently is an amazing thing. 

Not in my backyard, it's not. 

I guess I should be flattered that they chose my yard for their temporary (God, let's hope it's temporary) castle.  I told Tony I wanted to see her.  He assured me that she is not wearing a tiara and carrying a wand, so my interest dropped a little. 

For the mean time, Margo is going to the bathroom in the front yard.  I can just see her curiousity getting the best of her while sticking her entire face into their hive..

Here's to hoping they find their permanent home soon.... and it's not under our deck. 

I assure you that having the Queen Bee, is not the Bee's Knees.

A Birthday & Bocce Ball

We had my family over to celebrate my mom's birthday on Friday night.  Drinks, dessert and games.  Never a dull moment with my family.  That's why I love 'em. 

They're a bunch of competitive, game loving, loud and perfect people. 

I purchased glow in the dark bocce ball a few weeks back, thinking that our new yard is perfect for this game.  And it was.

However, little did I know how my mom and her sister would flip this family oriented game toward the dark side.  I should have known...

Happy Birthday Mom!  Here's to next year maybe getting the real things!! :)

Mood Changer

So my phone was stolen by a Pizza Hut employee this weekend.  I'm still so pissed about it and have been fuming all weekend.  Karma is a bitch.  That's what I keep telling myself.  Every time I look down at my ol' beast of a Droid slide out keyboard phone that I had to re-activate until I decide to buy another iPhone for $400, I keep saying 'Karma is a Bitch, PH employee'.   

Then last night, a whole tire fell off/busted off the back of our riding lawnmower as Tony was finishing up the yard.  Someone is going to have to come pick it up and put a new axel on it.  (do I sound like I know what I'm talking about?)  This doesn't really directly effect me, but when your husband is pissed, everybody's pissed. 

And our new dishwasher doesn't dry things.  It's being fixed, but I'm adding it to the list b/c I've heard bad things happen in 3's.  Are we done yet?

I was telling Margo yesterday about how I needed an attitude adjustment.

I come into work this morning and this is what I see:

It's an assortment of different N/A beers from my boss.

Talk about a mood changer.

It's the little things....

Wine

This might be my most favorite saying ever...

Ahh to pour wine into a glass again....and repeat. 

Less than 4 months.

Tick. Tock.

Margo Post

It's been awhile since my precious pup has had a blog post all to herself*.  And we all know how much girlfriend loves attention.  Just ask anyone who walks through our door.  Anyone except the security system people, then she turns all scared and timid.  Great timing, be a little wimp to the only people who know our freaking alarm code. 

Doesn't this look like a face who is super excited to share her attention in a few months? 

I don't think anyone asked her how she felt about the situation.  Rude. 

We did find out that she is choke hold tolerable though.

I'm sure that will come in handy. 


*So it really didn't end up being all to herself.  She's gotta start sharing at some point!

Hiring?

Ever since I found out we are having a girl, my bank account seems extra low. 

It's rough, this shopping for a baby girl. 

Because when I run across things like this:

I literally have no control. 

Karma

I realize I'm not yet a parent, and have no idea what's about to hit me in the face when I'm responsible for another human being come October.  However, there is one thing that bugs me and I just can't get over it. 

Prepare yourselves, I'm going to sound extremely vain right here.

Disney characters on clothing bother me. 

Gasp, I know.  Send in the firing squad.

Now, I love Aladdin and Beauty and The Beast as much as the next person, but I am not a fan of it plastered all over kid's clothes.  I feel like I'm in a Disney world gift shop and can't get out. 

I know down the road, I have a lot to learn, and I'm sure my little girl will be dressed from head to toe in Dora the Explorer to avoid a tragic meltdown sooner than later.  So someday I will eat my words and I'll have this blog post to blame.

But for now, you can imagine my pouty face, when I unpacked a box of diapers I had bought and saw this:

Karma??

Do ALL diapers have cartoons on them?

I really have a lot to learn.

Poem

Here's my sweet grandpa's poem for my birthday.  He does it for everyone's birthday and it's my favorite part of any family get together.  My poem's usually consist of booze and this one is no different.

Thanks Grandpa!!

And thanks to the rest of my family for celebrating with me last night.  I'm so blessed to have an amazing family!
