TTUT: Tornadoes Can Kiss My Ass. Yes, I said ASS in my title.




Hey friends! Welcome (or welcome back) to TTUT hosted by my bloggy bestie, Shawn, and myself.

I had every intention of posting some additional house pictures tonight, but due to the devastational tornadoes in my beloved state of Oklahoma, I've decided to postpone and stay tuned into the news. 
The spooky, unpredicting clouds

We don't have basements in Oklahoma and unfortunately, we (as in me and my family) don't have an underground safe haven either. We DID take cover in our neighbors safe room earlier today while sirens were blaring with 4 adults, 4 kids, 2 cats and a dog. That was fun. Even a safe room made entirely of concrete is not the preferred method for staying safe. After seeing the news, I'm sure you would agree. Tornadoes can DEMOLISH and FLATTEN your house down to NOTHING.

Luckily, my little town wasn't affected by the devil. The same can not be said for a town just an hour north of us. Moore, Oklahoma had areas that were completely demolished. At last check, there were 60 confirmed deceased. This town isn't a stranger to tornadoes. In 1999, they were wiped out.

There were 2 elementary schools directly affected and tonight, they are still trapped in debris. It doesn't sound good. As a parent, my heart just aches for the families.

Yesterday, there was a large tornado in another Oklahoma area--Shawnee--outside of Oklahoma City. Friends in Tulsa were posting pictures of debris that traveled the 100 miles via the tornado and ended up in their yards and neighborhoods. They are scary beasts.

If you are the praying kind, PLEASE PRAY FOR ALL AFFECTED. It's predicted that tomorrow's forecast brings the same, if not worse weather.

So, forgive me for not posting superficial pictures of my home. I'm sure you all understand. I'm going to hug my kids, kiss my husband, pat my dog and thank the good Lord that we are safe and unharmed.

And then later, I'll try not to consume an entire bottle of Captain or eat that box of brownies that is SCREAMING my name.

XOXO,

TTUT: Migraines Suck But My New House Pictures Don't.




Hey friends! I've been here for 2 weeks in a row! HOLLA! SS and I host this little link party every week and we love when you link up with us. You should join us. We have no rules!

I'm in bed with a migraine BUT I have a few pics of my house to show you {if you're nosey like I am}.

Here are a few:
The outside. Duh. I have freaking rose bushes! I didn't know until my neighbor told me. I'm awesomely observant. The landscaping of this house is amazing. I hope I can keep up with it.
Our breakfast nook area. We also have a small pub table and two bar stools over to the right. I'll have to show you later.


The room where I spend most of my time. LOVE my double oven/convection oven. I love my huge island. I love how my momma decorated the top of the cabinets. Just LOVE.
The silver thing to the right on the island? An ice maker! It's PERFECT for my nightly Captain and Coke's.
 
My living room (View 1). I have made some changes since this picture was taken. I put a sofa table behind the center couch and scooted the leather couch back towards the windows.

Living Room (View 2). I'm sad I didn't capture the curtains on the windows. It's my favorite feature! I'll add it later.

Living Room (View 3). We hung a picture on that big, blank wall this weekend. It completes the look. I'll post it later.

This picture turned out too dark but I'm not messing with editing tonight. The fence stuff is cream in the middle with turquoise on the sides. Thank you Hobby Lobby! I decided to add that color into my living and kitchen {along with browns and reds}. I really love it! And I WILL NOT be cleaning that window. I would kill myself.

My very bare office. I need to fix this asap. I also need to take a picture of the awesome clock on the wall to the left. I'll add a couple more pics of the office later. The shutters in here are so pretty.


Formal dining. I need to take a couple of other angles later.
That's all I'm going to post for now. It took way too long to download these freaking pictures and this migraine makes me wanna curl up in bed with the Captain. Or a hammer.

But I still love you.


PS. Thanks for ALLLL the help, Mom and Dad. You're the BEST!

xoxo,

Four Truths and a Big Fat Lie for TTUT.





Ok, so yeah, I suck. We can all agree to that. I didn't post anything last week and I didn't even read any link ups. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME?

I'm not feeling much like a blogger lately. It's starting to feel more like a job and I already work 24 hours a day. I keep hoping that I'll get back to my old self but it may not happen, my friends.

Anyway, Miss Shawn is bad sick. She could be on her death bed. Or it could just be her appendix. Or maybe just a head cold. Whatever the reason is, we probably should say a prayer for her and maybe send her some bloggy lovin'. She was THISCLOSE to having 2 drunk people put in an IV over the weekend.

I was thinking it was time for another edition of Four Truths and a Lie. Sounds like fun, right? I'll post 4 TRUE things and 1 LIE and you have to tell me which one is the lie. Ok? And, for the record, I lie like a BOSS.

1. I once got suspended from high school for fighting. {I'm a lover you know....}

2. I walked in on my father-in-law while he was peeing. Sitting down. With no light on. In the middle of the night. And the door was open. {Lots of potential on this one. Too much detail to be true?}

3. I have polished off an entire pan of slightly undercooked brownies all by myself. {I'm not skinny and you know my love of all things brownie}

4. I've thrown up in the middle of "sexy time" and kept going like nothing had happened. {I threw this one in for my parents who are reading and now cringing...}

5. I've walked in on friends having sex on numerous occasions. I think it's a gift. {This could be a favorite past time of mine...}

Ok, friends....which one is my little white LIE?

I'll leave you with a cute picture of my 6 MONTH OLD {Already? Seriously?} pretending to be a baby bird as he opens wide for some yummy puffy stars! I love me some DREW!

If you have a Tuesday post, feel free to link up with us! We would love you long time if you did. 

XOXO,

I'm Feeling Random for TTUT.



Hey everyone! Thanks for stopping by and linking up to the "amazing" linky party that Shawn and I have going on. I have completely slacked on leaving you guys comments. Please know that I LOVE YOU for linking up and/or leaving me comments. On most days, I feel like I'm drowning. I bet you would feel sorry for me if I had like 5 kids instead of just 2, huh?

Anyway, I'm still nursing a broken heart. One of my very favorite celebs, {aka REAL LIFE FRIENDS} Reese Witherspoon, got arrested this weekend. NO! Not my classy Reese!! She is almost as perfect as Jen Aniston. Reese needs Elle Woods as her attorney.

And since we're talking about celebs, when will somebody lock up CrAzY Lindsay Lohan? I realize she's about to go to rehab but how many times can one girl get slapped on the hand before she goes to prison?

Guess what? I saw someone coming out of Helmart without shoes. I'm pretty sure she heard Emma ask why that lady isn't wearing shoes. Seriously? Do people still do that?

I've been taking a Body Combat class at the YMCA. It's HARD. I'm learning some moves {not to mention burning 7,000 calories an hour} but what are the chances that I could remember these martial arts moves if I was getting robbed? Maybe I should practice on my husband...

And...I'll wrap up this randomness with this fact: 

My dads front teeth fell out of his head last Thursday. You know...like a meth head.

I would post the picture that my mom sent me but he would kill me. As in LITERALLY kill me. He looks like an old man. Or my great-grandma {his grandma}. I haven't decided yet. Apparently, he had a bridge that broke and now he has to see an oral surgeon to get it fixed. And my mom isn't even keeping him locked up at home. How embarrassing. Good thing I still love him--and his new lisp.

What's going on with you? Don't feel like you have to comment. I seriously suck. I know.
