Random thoughts

I couldn't think of anything "big" to blog about, so this is probably going to be completely random and unstructured. Mike is in Houston this week. I miss him, but Bailey is loving it because she sleeps in the bed with me when he is gone. She is the best sleeper ever! She doesn't move around or get up until she sees that I am awake. I often wake up to her staring at me, and I wonder how long she has been awake. Who thinks that we can train our children this well one day? HA!

One hot topic at our house lately is where to go on vacation. I won a travel card for work, and it expires at the end of August. We've discussed everything from cruises and beaches to Las Vegas. Mike and I like to relax on vacations, so we're not looking for anything that requires energy or sight-seeing. I've heard great things about the Grove Park Inn, but we'd probably end up spending more than just the travel card, because I would want a daily spa treatment if we went there. We'd love any suggestions!

Has anyone tried Proactiv? It's the stuff Jessica Simpson always talks about on television. I don't think I have true acne, but I have some "problem areas," so I decided to try it. I got it for free, so I figured it couldn't hurt... but it did. My face has been super scary dry since last Wednesday, after I used it Tuesday night. I look like I've been snow skiing for a week, and no matter how much I try to "hydrate," my face remains pink and flaky. I don't believe Jessica had this problem, so maybe it's just me and my crazy skin.

I guess that's enough randomness for one day! I always like to include a picture, so here is Bailey doing what I assume she does all day (other than sleep)...

Get ready to laugh!

Mike and I were looking at pictures on the computer last night, wishing that digital cameras had been around longer. I've always been too lazy to scan pictures, but after digging around and finding some pretty funny ones, I managed to scan some old pictures.

We'll start with the younger days. I could only find these two pictures of Tracy (my sister) and I, because my mom has the rest labeled in albums. Check out my bangs on the second one; they only got bigger and bigger in the later years.

Next came middle and high school. Don't you love the outfits Sarah and I were wearing in the ice skating picture? I'm 99.9% sure those were Guess jeans!

College pictures were everywhere, but unfortunately, I gained some weight in college and didn't find many I wanted to scan. Here are a few that were taken after I dropped the freshmen 25 (yes, it was 25-30, not 15). The crazy pink dress makes me laugh! I still have it, but there is no reason to keep it, because I will not be wearing it again! The hugging picture makes me miss the good ole Alpha Chi house and our comfy gowns. We all went to Target and bought the biggest, most comfortable gowns we could find. (Tatum is wearing hers in the picture; I think Jess may be wearing hers too.) When Mike and I got married, he asked me not to wear the scary white gown anymore. The last picture of Mike was one I took our senior year. Doesn't he look cute?

ps- Spell check is not working today, so forgive me if there are spelling mistakes:)

Oops... I almost forgot the funniest one... 80's party!
