The Skinny Bitch went to South Beach and got a tape worm

We've all been on diets and since the birth of my second child, I've been on more diets than ever. First, I tried nutrasystem. It's too pricey and utterly nasty. Needless to say, I don't recommend that one. Then, I got wind of Victoria Beckham's favorite book, The Skinny Bitch. Interesting read, but I had already been on that diet before the book was written back in the day. I just wasn't' ready to be that strict again. For the past three weeks I've been on the south beach diet and it's working out pretty well. Other than the major prep it takes, it's great. For the past three days we've had a flu like stomach bug and I've succumbed to eating noodles (which aren't on the diet at all). So I'm hoping that this 'bug' is a tape worm. What? You haven't heard of the tape worm diet? I haven't' tried that one purposefully, yet. I just really wanted to stay on track and I just keep thinking about all those noodles that are going straight to my ass! Let's just hope that the tape worm is gobbling them up at this very moment. Cross your fingers.

Llamas, Pigs, and Bunnies! Oh My!

We had fun this afternoon at Norah's fifth birthday party. They had a petting zoo in their backyard with tons of animals! The girls had a blast. Chloe's favorite animals were the kittens and Libby wanted to bathe with the little piggies in their mud water, but we stopped her. :)

It was a two mojito night

Girl's Night Out at the Shops at Legacy

From left to right: Me (Kim) (I'm the blond chic/potty humor girl that writes this blog), Carolyn (cheerleader with me in high school and she was Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader for two years), Shannon (we've known each other since grade school; she also loves the potty humor. So we had loads to talk about at dinner! :)), and Gloria (a very sweet girl, who just had her third child a month ago!)

It was a two mojito night with the girls. It's great to live in the Dallas area again; I get to see and reconnect with old friends. We went to one of my favorite restaurants ever, Mi Cocina, and then to a Martini bar next door. It was nice to get out and talk about old times (grade school and high school) Lots of laughs.

I can tell we're getting old because we all had two drinks a piece and then left the bar at 10:30 and walked around, window shopped, told gripping, face clinching bikini wax tales and funny breastfeeding stories. And miss Shannon had a couple of very interesting eyebrow stories that involved a razor, a thick black sharpie, cotton balls and hot wax. Good times. Good times. :)

A sign that you're on the computer way too much

No secret, we like our computer time in our house and we all know that Daddy is very obsessive *ahem* I mean, fond of his PC and is spotted quite frequently typing away in all of his dual monitor glory.

This morning, as soon as L saw Daddy, she made a bee line for the office and reached for the keyboard, her tiny hands typing away.

She was pretending to type really fast and doing such a good job that she had us convinced that maybe she was a court reporter of some sort in a past life. We were cracking-up at her mock typing and wiping our tears of laughter from our faces when, suddenly, we noticed that she had managed to log off and shut the computer down.

She had a plan all along.

So, we're staying logged off and shutting down all of the computers today and 'logging' into the kiddos. Well, I've got to go sign in. (Password: Family time)

Off to The Taste of Addison to eat, drink, and listen to the Black Crows today!
