SWW

Time for another addition of So What Wednesdays... Or , as I'm calling it today "SWW"- snazzy.

SO WHAT if:

• I almost knocked my own teeth out trying to pull-on my extra-narrow "pull on" boots.  My hand slipped off as I was sitting on my bed and I punched myself in the face.  
• you should see my husband trying to pull them OFF. 
• I'm already listening to Christmas music.
• I've GOT to think of open ended questions to text my son..."Are you wearing your retainer?" and "Did you carve a pumpkin" aren't working.
• My husband accidentally mentioned that one of the mouse traps is missing and all I can picture is this creepy little mouse dragging around a trap from his creepy little hind legs...

What are you saying "So What" to?  It's all in the attitude...

Another SWW from us here at in your back pocket. 

A Homecoming

Time for a little self-indulgent post.  Had an awesome homecoming/parents weekend trip to the University of Arizona.  As some of you may know, my son is a freshman swimmer there.  We had not seen him since middle of August and as those of you with teenage sons know, the texts consist of "K," "good," and occasionally a "thanx."

This is the resort facility where they practice.  A little change from the midwest.

Each team member gets his name and stats on this screen during meets. (sorry about poor photo.)

Go Cats!!!!  They swam against Univ. of Wisconsin.

The best part was a surprise showing from my BFF and sis Jen!!!

Here with my son Kevin.

Kev and Jen's adorable brood.  The oldest grandchild holding the youngest.

My son and his roommate.  So cute. 

And we spent some quality time with great friends from college.  It was great to spend time with them and get to see how their kids have grown.

The problem was, i still kinda feel like i'm in college and now we're at parents weekend????

I am feeling extra thankful today.

A little homecoming to put in your back pocket..

It Takes a Licking...

Good ol' Timex has a great watch that's only $60.  It comes in perfect color combos and better yet, it's called the Easy Reader. Ha. It's classic and you can find a great selection at Piperlime and Nordstrom.

And $55.00 for these gals below at Karmaloop.com.

Perfect with your little "Arm Party!"

My arm party looks like this today...

kind of a "training" arm party...ha. 

Put a fun, new and inexpensive Timex watch in your back pocket.

So What Wednesday...

Hi everyone...It's a lazy fall morning and a good day to say "so what?" to a few things... 

SO WHAT if...

-My sister and I are pretty sure we were comedians in a previous life. 

- I gave a serious fist pump this morning when I found that $20 bill in my inside coat pocket.

-I only washed my kids' pillow cases cuz I was too lazy to change the whole set.

-my toenail polish is basically just  "growing off.'" 

-My husband has a mini panic-attack when someone in our household has the stomach flu.  ( We basically  quarantined our daughter for 24 hours on Monday-thank goodness for cell phones....)

-I literally ripped the pocket off of my favorite sweater because i got it caught on the dooeknob/handle as i hurried by... (also got a mild case of whiplash.)

Again... a few visuals

What are saying "so what?" to this week?

Have a good wednesday from in your back pocket.

Bannister Makeover

Since my husband vetoed my idea of staining our wood floors darker, I figured I had to take matters into my own hands.  A little spruce up is definitely needed. Therefore, I am venturing to paint my bannister a dark black-brown myself.  Now I know that when I get about half way through I am going to ask myself "what were you thinking" but this project is going to be my pre-thanksgiving update. FYI,  I did try the "new floor color would be a great 'pre-Thanksgiving spruce-up'" idea on my husband....no dice.

Centsational girl

My only concern is how it will look with my old basic-oak-80's floor color. I have also promised myself that i WILL take the time to properly prep the wood for painting (stripping, cleaning, sanding.)  That's never been my strong suit as I just want to get to the painting!!!

Put a new bannister in your back pocket.

Woops!

SO WHAT if:

I was so freaked out by the discovery of mouse poop droppings under my kitchen sink that I forgot about "So What Wed-nes-days."

ugh.

Hope you have a great day, and keep all rodents out of your back pocket.
