VACATION VACATION VACATION!!

So my posting everday has slightly trailed off. I have reason! If I was to posted it would look a lot like the titled or exactly like the title. Becaus ethat is the only inner dialoge in my head right now...

But I am going to use all of my power to actually do a brief recap of the last oh week or so....

1/22/2010: Had some lower intestine "issues" on Thursday night (issues is a nice way of saying I could not and had not pooed in almost two days=super unhappy sucky Crystal) So I stayed home from work took some laxatives (well, one) and helped Kim make some cake for Erin's Party and also went shopping for party supplies. After cleaning up the Kitchen and cleaning out my pipes:D I was happy and we were on our way to see the rental Kimmie had gotten for Erin's surprise Party.

Not Good! Thankfully I have the most super awesome string husband EVER!! We moved furniture like mo fos and maybe the place MUCH better!

1/23/2010- Erin's Surprise Party set-up...Place looked Killer! Once I can steal some photos I will add to the *must post some photos of that list* lol!

Partied like it was 1999...well, problably better since we were in high school still and a good party consisted of Boonesfarm and immature boys...

So we partied with hot mature husbands and *real* alcohol:) plus poprocks...lol! It was for the signature drink, not for our tripping pleasure!

Erin was VERY surprised and eve said it was her BEST birthday EVER! Score lots of points for Kim since Erin was NOT looking forward to turning 30.

1/24/2010- Party clean up, then dinner/late lunch with Warren's uncle Kyle and Aunt Laura, then appitizers and drinks (crystal style with salad and hot tea for me;)) and a movie with Travis and (insert name when I remember it here). Then home late and realize we did NOTHING we had needed to do to get ready to pack before our week started=sucky!!

More updated later cause I want to scream VACATION IN 4 DAYS here in my cubby office...that would not be good. may still do it;)

Maternity Monday

Still on names....

We have our boy and I love it and Warren loves it....

Our girl on the other hand...hmmmmm we got a first but can not come up with middle for the life of us. I guess we have plenty of time since we are not even expecting, but hey it is never too early to try:)

Warren wants to look at Scottish names....hmm I guess we will see:)

ahhh lazy Saturday...not really

So the day started out pretty great a lazy...more cuddling with the hubs and another movie which was much better! Some napping for me and then we had to actually do stuff:( The In-laws showed up for a dump run but before that happened we took them back to our fav little Korean place for some lunch. This time I had the beef/veggie roll, Warren had the Pho, MIL had some Roman Soup...mmmm, and his dad tried what he had the night before. It was delicious as usual but I do not think they enjoyed it as much as we do...maybe our taste have change with our new clean eating? Well, then it was back to the house to load up all the left over sheet rock and other misc. parts of the old wall and closet. The boys left for the dump and MIL and I hung out at the house. When they returned we had decided on a movie and so we headed out to see Men Who Stare At Goats at the discount theater. It was ok. nothing great but I got some yummy popcorn...mmmmm.

next up was a little dice action and then a late night talk about how to help your child eat well and to help curb any future eating disorders like mine. I do not mean the typical one...just an unhealthy relationship with food and not knowing what REAL food should taste like and craving comfort food that is stuffed full of fat and unnecessary calories. I hope Warren and I can instill his awesome relationship with food into our children and leave my insecurities in the dust...I guess only time will tell!

Relax and Eat

So Friday night was incredibly relaxing! The hubs and I had great workouts and returned home to cuddle and watch a movie...but not before stopping for some much craved ethnic food. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!! While it was not the Thai food I had wanted for a bout a week...it was from my favorite Korean Place...mmmmmmm. I had some delicious soup and pot stickers...both very homemade and great! Warren had bobagogoli...or something like that! It was awesome also! Overall great night! Plus I got to have some more one on one time with Leslie's ever growing beautiful belly! So excited!


Quick Movie review: We could have picked a much better movie! I do not think I have heard so many references to the male genitalia or more raunchy cuss words used in one movie! Funny People=not so funny, pretty sad, and really disturbing how in the gutter it was. Could have been much better!

Lazy Friday

I usually love lazy days...however when you are suppose to be functioning lazy days=bad Crystal(and Nicole today;))

I have said it before but my mind is already on vacation. I have no motivation but to continue to improve my body in a bathing suit. That it is...I think all day hmmm I will eat this...I should go do a quick jolt of cardio. I should close my eyes and envision my toes in the sand...ahhhh please bring me two pina coldas..oh wait that is a song! I only have 13 days left but it is going to be a long haul until we board our plane on the 30th!

The only upside right now is the three day weekend starting in just moments!! Then I will only have 8 more work days and 10...10 more days!! Ahhh Caribbean here I come!!!

P.S thank you Nicole for joining i=me in my rebellion against doing anything productive today! It is always better to have company when going against the current!!

mmmmmmmmmm

I have been craving Jalapeno's...mmm trying this when we get back from vacation!!

Jalapeno Poppers Three Ways
Ingredients
24 jalapeno peppers
3 large eggs
1/2 cup salsa
1/2 cup grated jack cheese
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
4 tortilla chips, crushed
1 cup pizza sauce
1 Italian sausage, cooked and crumbled
1/2 cup grated mozzarella
1 cup chunky peanut butter
1/4 cup of your favorite jelly
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Cut the tops off the jalapeno peppers and clean out the core and seeds. Place them upright in an armadillo jalapeno cooker (available online). Alternatively, cut holes to fit the jalapenos in the bottom of a disposable aluminum baking pan and invert it onto a baking sheet.

For the huevo ranchero filling:

Beat the eggs and stir in the salsa, half the jack cheese, and salt and pepper, to taste. Fill 8 of the peppers 3/4 full and top with the remaining jack cheese and crushed chips.

For the sausage pizza filling:

Mix together the pizza sauce, crumbled sausage, and half the mozzarella. Fill 8 of the jalapenos and top with the remaining mozzarella.

For the peanut butter filling:

Put the peanut butter into a plastic bag and cut off a corner to make a pastry bag. Squeeze the peanut butter into the remaining peppers making sure that they are filled all the way down. Top with a spoonful of jelly.

Bake the poppers for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the peppers are soft.

Lelsie' s Baby Shower

Ideas for Shower...
Girls colors and decor ideas...



Color combo for a boy not so much decor ideads...




The idea behind this is we will have to plan the shower ahead of time. However, Leslie is not finding out what she is having until it is born. This way we can keep one color (green) with both and then get the pink/blue accents once we know:) Super cute with either blue or pink. Why don't we just plan a neutral shower? Well, Leslie would like it pink/blue for whatever it may be...for me this is no problem:)

Nursery Love

I think every nursery in Alaska needs a rocking moose.


Love the color in this room...so bright and cheery!


I really like these wall mural and the frames quotes!!

Oh maybe I can do the rainbow style cake but in colors of either boy/girl for which ever she has???? hmmm I like that!

Got the Goods;)

Had a very uneventful Dr. Appt. this morning. I have got to say that I love my girly Dr. She is so laid back and easy to talk to! Plus she is the first Dr. that I truly feel relaxed with. I do not know if this is because of age or just her awesomeness.

Anyway, I am officially on prenatel vitamins. I also have found that I may have really gotten the good ones. Les asked if they taste how a barn smells? Nope they are a capsale and have no taste at all. Also even though they are literally the size of a horse pill they are really easy to take. I guess we will see if they continue to be good:)

Little notes Tuesday

Body,
Thank you for beginning the process of dropping a few pounds,

Stomach,
You are addicted to sugar. Seriously an intervention is needed!

War,
You are awesome for doing the dishes last night since I was on a quest to do nothing:)

Food,
Please learn how to cook yourselves and walk to me where ever I may be so I can eat you;) Thank you.

Blisters,
I HATE you. HATE HATE HATE you! You are ruining my running streak.

Skin,
Thank you for clearing up. Now lets get rid of the the remaining "spots" that show my struggle...what do you say...good idea...right?!

Job,
You are going to suffer until after our trip. It is all I can think about. Sorry.

Vacation,
Please speed up time so we can leave, but then slow it down while we are gone. Is that too much to ask?

Maternity Monday




Lazy Sundays

How I love thee!

We did nothing except what we wanted today. We cuddle on the couch for the majority of the day. We went to the gym and had a great work out followed by a movie. Then bed. It was perfection!

Passport Please

Turned in my papers to change my name on my passport. I had almost forgot that I will be needing this at the end of the month and it will need to be under my new name.

My picture wasn't horrible, but the line was!! I figured if I waited until after Christmas that it would be slow. Not so much:( Although I made friends with two kids behind me. someone kept farting and we enjoyed laughing about it. Then we made bets as to how much it would cost them to mail their heavy box of books. I did not win:(

While I was playing at the Post Office, Warren was watching the UFC fights with Grant and Jonathon. Since my visit to the Post Office took a lot longer than expected. Bo bo and Tiff showed up as well as dad. But all was good we enjoyed a couple fights even after I got home. Jonathon was impressed by my food spread. Thx! The boys preceded in getting pretty intoxicated. Bo bo and Tiff left. Dad left for a date. Grant left for painting. Warren, Jonathon and I hung out for a bit before I decided to take some relaxing time in a bath with a magazine. ahhh. It was great. I went to bed and Warren and Jonathon stayed up till wee hours of the night.

Grab Booty Kind of Night

We had a great great night last night. Well, I had a great great great night. Warrens was more just great great I think.

We started the night with a slight freak out about clothing options for me. In my quest to get to me healthy goal weight and since I spend 95% of my time at work...I have not really purchased too many cute clothes going out clothes:( On the other hand I have really cute work clothes, although they are all a little too big right now.

Sorry back to the night...
Freak out about clothing
End up wearing a simple cute, tight tee shirt
Do the make-up up since my outfit is kind of lame
Find out side warm gear (Warren I bet you wish you did this now;))
Decide on my super awesome cute rabit hat
Wool coat
Mutli colored scarf
Two pairs of mittens
Double socks, one being snowboarding socks
ID
Husband
Ready:)


We ended up picking my dad up on our way to met up with mom, matt, bo bo, and tiff.
We were a little late (about 15 min). Get to Humpy's to find a sign on the door saying they were closed until 7pm to get ready for New Years (WTF)...know mom and matt are already inside. Sneak in when someone leaves. Get caught be the waitress. Can not order food. Bo bo and tiff are really late. Decide to go to Sullivans...mmmmm. Help mom and matt finish thier steamer clams...mmmm. Head to Sullivan's. Dad stops for a Humpy's hat. Bo bo and tiff meet us at Sullivans. Order our favorite salads. Mom ordered the filet. Dad, mom, tiff and bo bo order drinks. Warren and I drink water. Pull a mean prank on dad (showed him leslie's sonogram and said surprise...he did not think it was funny). Sorry dad;) soon enough!. Eat the yummy salads...so good!!! Help mom finish her steak...mmmmm. Mom ties ballons on my wrist just like when I was little. Head to town square. What are you wearing tiff? Open toed shoes in 8 degree weather? Uhhh this doesn't work. Stop at JC Penny's and make tiff buy some boots. Loose a ballon in a doorway. Warren helps me save my ballon. Matt got some entertainment from this. Then really head to Town square. A lot a bit cold out. Wearing my awesome hat=me warm. Warren needs a new coat=him cold:(. Everyone can find us because of my ballons sticking up above the crowd. Grant and Sarah find us using the ballon locator. I begin the Haunting of Sarah...make her dance with me like a fool. The dance floor is an ice rink. Almost slip many many times. Warren does not dance. Grant does. Warren half freezes. The fireworks are slow and brug out. The finale rocked. Run to car so warren can thaw. Give mom and jim and ride home. Where did jim come from. Bad mistake mom! Go to store to pick up snacks and goofy hats for our house party. Check out guy give the idea for beer pong. We decide to make up a new Jewish Girl Beer pong game. Buy girl beer (mike's, and hard cider). Buy pong balls. Head home. Clean up. Make food. Set-up table. Woo Hoo time. The IL show up with the fireworks. Eat some food. Grant and Sarah show up. Eat food. Play pong. Shoot off fireworks. Kiss happy New Years outside while setting off fireworks. Light sparklers...love sparklers. Share with nieghbor. Back inside. Warm up. Dad arrives to finish the haunting of Sarah. one more pong game. Eat food. Play half a dice game. Dad VERY drunk. Grant and Sarah start to say goodbye. Dad vocolizes his want to grab her butt? Poor girl runs. She literally runs out of the house never to return I am sure. Dad make mike's comercial...so funny. Sleep time soon. Dad decides he wants to leave. We try to talk him out of it. Dad leaves in a cab. Clean up. Bed Time.

Happy New Year!!
