Honey got a belly like POW POW POW

Wow oh wow. Some days it's more difficult than others to hide my bloat. A-line, elastic waist skirts *seem* to be working ... but I am feeling floofy. My belly and boot-ay are making the A-line do da splitz!

I just have to hang on another week or so.

I'm pregnant. Can you pass the turnips?

Yes, it's true, Stan. Papa don't preach, I'm keepin' my babaaay.

And I am going to TRY to start blogging more AND will probably be sprinkling in some more baby-rific topics, pictures and such.

Today: 14 weeks!

On a safari, peeking through the reeds

One thing I love about my dear Gaston is that he always says something nice about my look every morning. His usual, "yoooou look cute today!" or "you look HOTT!" always makes me feel confident when I walk out the door. However, this week his comments have been a bit ... questionable.

For instance, he thinks my new clogs make me look like a mennonite. And today, he said, "you look like you're going on a safari!" Hmmm ... HUSBAND! You are sooo funny. Ha. Ha. Heh. heh ... um ...

A safari *does* sound fun, especially if it's the Jungle Cruise type, like at Disney World!



Do I look like a safari guide?

"Some of our scouts here at the world-famous Jungle Cruise claim they have spotted tigers in the waiting area the last couple of days. But we know that's ridiculous. After all, tigers are striped, not spotted." [HAR HAR HAR]

"There are 87 varieties of poisonous snakes on the North American continent. We at the Jungle Cruise are proud of the fact that we have 82 of these varieties in the wooden rafters directly over your heads. Fear not, though, they will NOT attack a moving target, so please try to keep the line moving. If the line won't move, simply run in place." [APPLAUSE!]

In other news, I received my mennonite footwear!

Golden Girl

I can always rely on my favorite cleaning crew member for a compliment on my outfit. He said I looked like a "golden ray of sunshine" today. Not only does he dish out the compliments -- he always makes them unique and descriptive. Gotta love that.





It's supposed to get up to 70 degrees today and it's a short week for me. I think I might smile the rest of the week.

Shoes. They happen in 3s.

Something crazy happened early Saturday morning. I was overcome with the desire to purchase clogs. I know, I know.

I blame Chanel:

I actually got a pretty good "inspired by" version, from Jeffrey Campbell:





I still can't believe I took the plunge and ordered those, but I really can't wait to try them.

Then Sunday, I fell prey to Bloomingdale's F&F sale. I mean, it was the *last* day of the sale! Oh, the pressure.

I had been searching for cognac sandals all season and the Tory Burch Jodie is pretty much what I have been seeking. High yet manageable heel, soft leather ... I just hope these are not too similar to the clogs. I am going to need some opinions.

Tory Burch Jodie:



And finally, some flat sandals for the hubby, but for me. Hee. He does not like it when we are out and about and I am in heels because he says I "walk too slow."

I chose the Steve Madden Saahara. It comes in suede, which might be more comfy, but I really wanted the snakeskin look. I have my fingers crossed here for comfort. Please, please, please!

What's cookin'?

Well, shame on me! I am behind in posting my daily getups. This one is from ohhh ... let's see ... two(?) days ago.

My personal chef made me do a spin for him before he made my gooey grilled cheese. He was impressed. And coming from a dude who makes THE BEST pepperjack-cheddar-and-tomato-on-wheat I was like, "JWoWW, I must look good!"

Owl love you forever?

How cute is this owl switchplate from Anthropologie? I think I need it ... but is it something timeless for my home, I wonder?



WHOOO wouldn't want this in their house?!
