The baby deer are here. There are two running around looking too cute with their little spots and The Boy just found a brand new, not even an hour old, baby deer in the yard a short time ago. It is sooo cute. He asked, of course, “Can we keep him?”

And this is a different story. There is a bar & grill called the Dodging Duck in Boerne, TX. Across the road is the river that has ducks and geese. The owners have blocked off the shoulder with cones and put up a sign that reads “Mother Goose is Nesting. Father Goose is Protecting.” This was taken from the deck of the bar. You can see the Mother Goose under the hedges and the Father Goose was honking at some kids playing in the yard. They got a little too close for his liking. I never knew a Male Goose did this. 
How sweet is he?
Soon there will be little goslings walking across the road to the river. 

The Boy is off to his first “non-birthday” party. I’m not worried because he’s a good kid and makes good decisions (most of the time). I’m a little excited for him. But mostly…I’m just sad. My baby is growing up. When he was little, time went by so slow. Now it seems like one big blur.

He went from this.

To this…

Sigh…high school is next, then driving and girls, then college and his own life. Have fun kiddo.
I’m off to convince Husband to take me to SATC 2…or shopping. Something to cheer me up.
Have a FANTASTIC evening and a GREAT holiday weekend!

Um…yeah. When I get sick I am only capable of doing 100% of what I need to instead of my normal 175% so the blog was neglected. Sorry about that.

But I’m feeling much better and have a ladies lunch today. I’ve mentioned it before (here) and it’s just a way for us to get to know each other. I haven’t been since they got me a bit tipsy at the Christmas lunch. Good thing we were in the neighborhood and not far from my house. But I haven’t been only because I’ve been really busy. I actually have a call scheduled at the same time but that’s what the mute button is for, right?

Here’s what I’m wearing today. I’m so happy with this skirt and the print in general. Also, I’m finally wearing my Charms & Kitsch tee.

Tee & Skirt: J Crew
Shoes: Miu Miu Gladiator Sandals
I was also able to find the Wildcat Ombre Pencil Skirt in my store (size 6). Yay! I tried on the Oak Tweed Pencil Skirt but passed for now. It’s pretty but I have the Contrast Pencil Skirt I have yet to wear and they are the same color family. I tried on the 6 which was a little snug but o.k. and the 8, which fit a lot better.
Have a great day everyone!

I’m sick. Long work days (and nights), not eating right and not enough sleep have caught up with me. I’ve been sick once in 3 years and allergies hit me hard on Saturday. BUT…that didn’t stop me from sucking it up and going to a girlfriend’s Jersey Shore themed birthday party, character dressing optional.

That’s why Husband and I were shopping on Friday. I needed at least a shirt and he was looking for a medallion and/or gold chains and bracelet. He found what he was looking for at Forever 21, which he called “The Hoochie Store”. I LOL’d and told him that some of the clothes weren’t that bad and that I did shop there  every once in a while.

Check us out!

I had so much gel and hairspray in my hair it took 3 shampoo-ings to remove it all. But we were a hit at the party and had a lot of fun. 
I hope you’re enjoying your weekend!
