Every once in a while I watch Fixer Upper and am attracted to Chip Gaines. And then I remember all the weird shit he has eaten on the show and it quickly goes away. Same. It's always fleeting--he cracks me up but I think I'd get tired of that persona at some point. I'd feel like I had an extra kid. True. I think I am attracted more to his knowledge and abilities related to renos. Like probably a lot of it is TV smoke and mirrors but he seems to just know shit and get shit done. Mike Holmes. Would bang. It's the knowledge & skills without the constant energy of Chip. Hopefully he wouldn't wear his overalls to bed.

danib We had a yard sale today too. I think I made like $120 ish. Not bad. And got rid of a bunch of stuff. My mom still has a ton of crap in my yard though.... sophiegrace If thays what was making it hard for her to sleep, don't feel bad. You just can't know. I hope you found the solution and she finally gets some sleep! Wow jubilantsquirrel! I hurt my leg and had to stop running. But dang...I'm not even close to that kind of time. Yay flamingo! Glad you finally got all of your stuff. Re DQ: I'll eat a blizzard from time to time. We have a custard place called Andy's that is AMAZING. It's only chocolate and vanilla, but they have really yummy toppings/mix-ins too. I'll just eat it straight, though. It's that good.

I go back and forth between finding him charming and endearing and annoying AF. I think I would only be able to handle him in small doses IRL.

Yard Sale is done. I made 50ish (between the 3 families we totalled around 130). So not too bad for an afternoon of sitting in the sun. I wasn't as diligent with my sunblock today, but only made out with a little colour on my face so I'm fine with that. H napped horribly again. Is it bedtime?

+1 to Mike Rowe. He does the commercials for our local energy company so I get to see and hear him often.
No thanks to the other two.
Also think I'm gonna make H atip at the custard place on our way home. Yum.
Edit because I can't spell.

I especially enjoy it now that they've branched out to styles other than 'farmhouse'. Honestly, though, my favorite part is usually the exterior transformation. That is what bugs me about the Property Brothers--here are these people gutting $500k-$1million homes and the outside is left looking like a methlab.

Internet is out, modem/dsl thing broke (making internet is not in my list of many talents) so we're heading to closest Best Buy in the hopes it'll get set up before Wednesday or hopefully before DH goes back to work!

Ok. I just passed a man carrying a beats pill thing blasting Usher's "Yeah" on repeat while wearing a hat with "DJ KC" embroidered on the side. I want to be his BFF. This isn't even English to me. lol

Ok, if were talking about hgtv stars, can we talk about Scott McGillivray??! He knows his stuff, he's hot, he doesn't eat weird shit, and he doesn't dress like a one year old. This is a no brainer people.

W is 3.5 and can no longer fit his 4T pajamas. I think I'm just going to move on to size 6 so that hopefully he can wear clothes for more than 6 mo.

Meanwhile, I just had my just 3yo in a 18-24 mo rash guard at the pool. He may have been bearing a little midriff when he lifted his arms, but it wasn't ridiculous.

flamingo, I can't watch property brothers anymore. I don't know why, but I just find their whole forumla annoying now and it all seems so staged. I'm sure Fixer Upper has it's staged moments (like, I'm pretty sure the clients already have a house, so that whole first half is just for show), but they were in the business of fixing up homes for people for years before HGTV came around. It just feels more authentic to me. hangry, I'm drawing a blank, who is Scott? Is he from income property? starbuck, you don't know Usher's song "Yeah"? It's like 15 years old now which is why that guy blasting it on repeat was hilarious to me.

Ok had to look up Mike Rowe. Y'all can have him and your Chip Gaines.
I got love for Scott McGillvray. He's a cutie.
Re: ice cream. I love it all. I'm partial to soft serve though. There's nothing like a twist with rainbow sprinkles. We have an amazing custard place around here that is literally to die for. They have the best chocolate almond ice cream. My mouth is watering thinking about it. Nom. Nom.

+1 I'm actually not sure if I've ever been to a DQ period... Girl. Come down through the tunnel and lets go get you one. It will change your life. Don't be surprised when I show up at your door five minutes after I'm allowed to eat ice cream again. I'll kick that unwelcome mat right off the porch.

Today was the big day 8.5 months in the making.
M had cheese and yogurt.
She now has a rash all over the bottom half of her face and a few dots on her chest. And of course it showed up 30 minutes before bed so I'm scared to leave her. I'm half devastated and half still hopeful that maybe just maybe it could be from something else like drool? Idk.

sophiegrace can you give her Benadryl while taking her new med? If yes, maybe give her a dose before bed. O still breaks out in a random face rash every once in a while. We still don't know what it is. It doesn't bother him so we haven't thoroughly investigated. I hope M's rash is also a random benign thing.

I didn't know whether to try it before the allergist appointment or not, but now I have pictures and I know she absolutely needs to be tested for it. I have the Benadryl already drawn up and ready in case it becomes obvious that she becomes uncomfortable. I had dreams of being able to give her a beautiful birthday cake. I know I could still do it somehow, but these hopes were directly connected to her being able to eat everything and anything. That's upsetting me much more than missing out on stuff for myself.

Kid is just so damn tall. This is Bradley, too, although his bday isn't til December. Bless his heart, I have to buy all adjustable-waist pants and keep them on the snuggest setting, just for the length. I'm in denial that I'm going to have a kid in 6s soon. Fortunately he still has room in 5s so I think that's mostly what I'll buy for early fall school clothes.

I'm sorry sophiegrace. I hope she doesn't have the allergies. But I can find a recipe for a vegan cake if you need for her first birthday! I have a couple pinned since B can't eat cake either.
