Grab a snack, relax, and enjoy the answers!

{1} If you could spend a day with a blogger, who you haven't met in real life, who would you choose?

Oh man, there are so many to choose from!! But lucky me, I'm leaving for Blogher tomorrow and I'll FINALLY get to meet some of my favorite bloggers and best bloggy buddies like Kristin, Monique aka SurferWife, and Blueviolet! Jealous?? You should be. Those ladies rock and I can't wait to give them a big ol' hug and party with them into the wee hours. Oh, and take pictures of them wasted and plaster them all over my blog. Because that's what friends are for. HUZZAH!

{2} What website do you check first when you go online?

Crap. This is the part where my inner nerd starts to come out. Every morning the first place I look is online at the Luann comic strip. (Insert you laughing at me here). I can't help it, I'm addicted. I've been reading it for YEARS! And after I've caught up on Luann, I get caught up on the daily world news....aka celebrity gossip. Ha!

{3} What is something you are saving money for right now?
Well I have been saving money for Blogher...does that count? I can't wait to go hit up the shops and the town with all the fabulous ladies that are sure to be there! This money is burning a hole in my pocket as we speak.

{4} What is your go to silly face when a silly face is needed? You know the face, that one you pull out when goofin' for the camera. (post a pic of it and be entered to win a prize from Mamarazzi and Queso)

It normally goes a little something like this...

{Holy unflattering Batman. See the things I do for you guys!}

{5} How do you relieve stress?

I've found that the best stress reliever is either beating the crap out of a truck with a bat (I may or may not speak from experience) or throwing a phone against the wall and shattering it to pieces. (once again, I may or may not speak from experience) But since The Hubs isn't too fond of those methods I normally go for a nice long workout and leave my stress at the gym. Works like a charm every time!

There ya have it folks. Now skedaddle and answer them so you can link up on the fun!

SurferWife has Eyedews and so do I.....




It's been non stop as always around here and sleep has been pretty much non existent. I feel like I've been rocking the whole 'insomniac-crack head' circles under the eyes all summer long, but NO MORE my friends...NO MORE! You know why? Because SurferWife has Eyedews....and Surferwife loves me and my puffy eyes enough to hook me up with some!

These things are like heaven in a foil package people! Let me break it down for you...Eyedews are these awesome little jelly under eye masks. They're blended with all sorts of amazing goodies for your face, like lavender oil, Vitamins C & E, Chitosan, and Natural Marine Collagen.


So say goodbye to those unwanted bags under your eyes, kiss off those fine lines, and erase the signs of stress with Eyedews! And the best part? They're SUPER easy to use. Just slap those puppies on for 15-20 minutes, relax, and let Eyedews do the rest! Plus, they're safe for everyday use...BONUS!

{A serious moment with my Eyedews...}

If you're going to Blogher11 make sure you track SurferWife down because she'll be giving out FREE samples of Eyedews. All you have to do is follow @SurferWife and meet up with her at Blogher. While you're at it, follow @Eyedews too!

I'm definitely taking mine with me to Blogher, because I'm fairly certain I'll be getting ZERO sleep. But I'll still be looking friggin fabulous thanks to my Eyedews!

PS- If you order 12 pairs of Eyedews for $45 now until the end of August you will receive 3 FREE pairs! Just simply mention the word Blogher in your order comment.

We Want To Know Week +++



Yo yo yo amigos! This week has been kicking my trash, and it doesn't look like there are any signs of it slowing down. If I'm lucky I may be able to sit down for 5 minutes on Sunday. Until then its go, go, GO!

But of course I've got to sneak in some time for a little We Want To Know lovin'! So join Mamarazzi and I in the fun by linking up! You know you want to! Here are this week's questions brought to you by yours truly, Queso. Booya!

1. Who would you call if you had to get bailed out of jail?
2. If you were a superhero what would your hero name be?
3. What do you think is one of your best qualities?
4. What song would you pick to be your own personal theme song?
5. What celebrity do you think is most over rated?

I know you're DYING to read my answers...I won't make you wait any longer!

1. Who would you call if you had to get bailed out of jail?

Well....probably not Jordan because he'd leave me in there, just to teach me a lesson. And because he'd think it was funny! I'd try and call my bestie, Megan, but she's HORRID at answering her phone. Love her, but its the truth. So I think I'd have to go with my boo, Breanne. She's aces at answering her phone and she's my partner in crime. Come to think of it, she'd probably be locked up with me. Cellies for life.

{Me & my Cellie getting gangster at H&M}

2. If you were a superhero what would your hero name be?

So I asked Hubs what name he would pick for me and his answer was "The Midnight Temptress". *snort* This is why I love my husband. But I think I'd be "The Allergy Avenger" seeing as how I'm allergic to EVERYTHING ON THE FACE OF THE PLANET. Except my Red Bull. Dear sweet Red Bull.

3. What do you think is one of your best qualities?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say my honesty. I think anyone who knows me knows that they'll always get the straight up truth. Which can be a blessing and a curse. I don't exactly sugar coat things. But I love that my friends and family come to me when they need an opinion or advice. It means a lot to me that they value my input.

4. What song would you pick to be your own personal theme song?
I'd have to go with the classic "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-A-Lot. It captures the very essence of my soul. I've got it going like a Turbo Vette.

5. What celebrity do you think is most over rated?

KIM friggin KARDASHIAN. Holy derriere that girl drives me bonkers. She's gorgeous, yes, but I can't believe the level of success the girl has achieved for riding on Paris Hilton's (another over rated celeb) coat tails and having a scandalous video tape. OVER IT!

There ya have it folks! Now go forth and conquer...and link up while you're at it!

A little birthday booty....

Who doesn't love a little birthday booty?! And no, I'm not talking about the bow chicka bow wow kind...but hey, if that's what you're into, I won't judge...ya little sex kitten you! Yesterday was AMAZING! I'll admit, it started out a little rough. There were some broken toys, a horribly timed poop fiasco, and some tears shed. And that was all by 10 in the morning. But it takes more than a little poodung drama to get me down! It was my 28th birthday dang it, and I was determined to celebrate. HUZZAH!

Luckily for me I have amazing friends and family who showered me with fun gifts love but mainly gifts all day long! The birthday booty was out of control. For real. I couldn't help but laugh at some of the goodies my besties were dropping off...I sensed a trend...


{Red Bull + Allergy friendly snacks= One happy Queso!!}

I have to say, those are some of the BEST gifts I have ever received! My family and friends are seriously friggin awesome! But the lovin' didn't stop there... Oh no no no! The Hubs and the kiddos spoiled me rotten with a brand new lap top bag (WOO!) plus these little goodies that I've been lusting after...

{My little tootsies are in LOVE with their new Vibrams!}

But perhaps my FAVORITE gift....

The BEST GIFT EVER...

Was THIS...



TICKETS TO THE JOSH GROBAN CONCERT!!

I love love love his music. His last concert was AMAZING. He sang to ME folks. YEAH! I know! I may or may not have piddled a little bit. I'm beyond excited to go again and I'm beyond excited that I have such a WONDERFUL Hubby that was trying to get some birthday booty ifyaknowwhatimean treats me like gold. I love you boo!

Thanks to everyone who made my birthday such a memorable day! And thanks for all of the sweet comments! YOU GUYS ROCK!!

Here are this week's questions:

{1} What would you do with an extra $1000 a month?
{2} What category of blogger do you think you best fall under?
{3} What is your go to solution when you are having a bad hair day?
{4} If you were a Crayon, what color would you be?
{5} They say love is in the little things. What is a little thing someone does to show you love?

Go on and check out my answers, then link up with your own. I can't wait to see what you guys come up with!

{1} What would you do with an extra $1000 a month?

Well the first thing that comes to mind is TARGET! I could drop a thousand bones there easily. I would love nothing more than to just go on massive shopping sprees once a month. Glorious!! But then my more sensible side comes into play and then it makes me want to invest into something more practical like a refrigerator stocked full of delicious ice cold Red Bull our children's savings, or paying off debt. Boo...where's the fun in that?

{2} What category of blogger do you think you best fall under?

If I had to pick one...which I can't because that would be too easy...I would have to go with either "Mommy blogger" or "Humorous blogger". So I think that would make me a "Mommorous" blogger. Yup. I'm gonna stick with that.

{3} What is your go to solution when you are having a bad hair day?

Yikes...have you seem my hair on a bad hair? If not, take a peek.

{In.friggin.tense. and so unflattering.}

There's not much I can do for that except maybe take a pair of clippers and pull a Brit-Brit on it...or take some garden shears to it...or just stay home :)

{4} If you were a Crayon, what color would you be?

Hands down, I would be cerulean. It's amazing!! It's the perfect blue. Seriously. It has been my favorite color of Crayon as long as I can remember. It just makes me feel happy. I can't explain it any better than that.

{5} They say love is in the little things. What is a little thing someone does to show you love?

Ohhh this is a good one. My hubs is all about the little things. And he's so good at it! One of my favorite things that he does is every night, when we settle down on the couch after the kids are in bed, he always brings me a drink and a snack. I don't even have to ask. Its a simple little act of love that lets me know that he's thinking of me and my needs. I love that he thinks of me before he's even had time to rest! Now that's a well trainedgood man right there.

So there ya have it folks! My first official We Want To Know Wednesday Q&A. Now its YOUR turn! Go on and answer the Qs and make sure you come back and link up! And feel free to throw in a Happy Birthday to ME in there :) Booya!

Class of 2021!!! Watch out!!!

In the back of every single one of my high school year books, there is a section for families to dedicate a page to their beloved graduating senior....you know the pages I'm talking about. The ones with super embarrassing pictures, a poem written by a doting mom, a nakey baby pic showing off their little bum, and of course a picture of their favorite family pet.

Let me just tell you that I CAN NOT WAIT to do one of these pages!!! I've started a collection of photos that will embarrass the ever living crap out of my kids and I'm gonna love every minute of it! In fact, my brother took one this weekend that I think is going to be a strong contender for Mason's Class of 2021 yearbook! Take a peek....




HOLY AWESOMENESS BATMAN!!!!!

I friggin LOVE this picture!! Super funny, but not TOO embarrassing...the perfect mix. I can't help but laugh and want to pinch his little cheeks every time I see this picture!

On that note, have a GREAT day amigos. Come back tomorrow (ON MY BIRTHDAY!!!!) for a super exciting announcement!!! And no....I'm not pregnant. ;)

Dun dun duuuunnnn!!

Who wants to know??? You do!

Yo yo yo amigos! I thought I'd switch things up a little bit and participate in a linky today. It works out perfect since I'm too lazy to think of anything on my own, and I just know you're on the edge of your seat waiting to know more about me. You lucky beasts. So I present to you...courtesy of the one and only Mamarazzi...

We want to know!

Photobucket


1. Which activities make you lose track of time?

Doing intensive online research...and by research I mean reading CELEBRITY GOSSIP! I love a good train wreck! And watching episodes of Arrested Development. I could seriously watch it all day long. In fact, I think I will.

2. Is there such a thing as perfect?

Umm...have we met? It's part of the requirements to be in this family. My offspring are my definition of perfect. I see perfection in their smiles, their belly laughs, their shining eyes, and their dimpled cheeks. But then again I also see perfection in an iced cold Red Bull...sooo...I may not be that easy to impress.

3. When do you feel most like yourself?

I feel most like myself when I'm in my comfy clothes snuggled up on the couch while my little hooligans wrestle on the floor, Little Miss Presley doing gymnastics on the couch, the pups curled up at my feet, and my Hubs with the TV turned on way too loud to try and hear over the kids war cries. It's like the stars are in alignment and I can literally just let my hair down. Those moments are the best part of my day. They're loud and hectic and someone always ends up bleeding. And I LOVE it. The craziness, not the blood.

4. Describe your life in a 6 word sentence.

"Wait until your Dad gets home!"

5. Share one of your most beloved childhood memories.

Oh man...this is a tough one. My childhood was, well, different. And to top it off we were a military family who was always on the move. One of my favorite memories is after my parents divorced. I was about 5 years old and I lived with my mom in a tiny apartment in the ghetto, literally a country away from my dad and brothers. It was a hard time, but she always had a way of making the most of it. Looking back I realize how tough this must have been on her, yet she always did her best to give me great experiences. Like this one...We used to lay on the floor of our barren apartment, huddled around our tape player (one of our few possessions) and sing at the top of our lungs to the Beach Boys song "Kokomo". We'd sing it for what seemed like hours. Just rewinding and playing again. It was nothing extravagant, it was nothing crazy, it was just a tender moment between mother and daughter that money could never buy.

Holy crap. Stop making me emotional before I start crying the ugly cry and bust out the old cassette player!

I need to go call my mom now!


Have a wonderful Thursday my friends.....I'd better go medicate tend to my children of the corn before they start revolting!


Keep it gangster!
