Who's that girl??

Yes, I know, it has been a while. I haven't blogged in WAY too long. I'm going to go ahead and confess that my Reader is WELL above 1000 unread's as well, so if you've been feeling neglected lately, it's completely my fault.

Well, for my first post in ages, I thought I would get you all up to speed on what's been going on in the Sunshine household, with PICTURES!!!

This could take a while.



The Tiger Cubs toured Mrs. Baird's Bakery in Ft. Worth

We had a funeral. Pop passed away in January. It was a very rough time for Budman and the boys. We're hanging in there, though.

Mater had a stomach bug and fell asleep in his toast. He's feeling MUCH better now.

The Tiger Cubs took a tour of the Fort Worth Star Telegram printing operations.

Monkey, Mater and I took a trip to the Zoo in Waco with Copper's Fox, the Tater tot and our parents.

I have to share this video - it was SO funny.

Monkey entered his first Pinewood Derby for Cub Scouts - Recognize anyone??

My Valentine's Day present!!

I got a new haircut!!

We dog-sat for my MIL. I took this video of her dog, Shadow playing in our backyard.

Monkey went to his first Blue & Gold Banquet for Cub Scouts
And tomorrow is Monkey's 7th Birthday. He is having a party at a local pizza place, and I will share photos soon.

I have a few stories that I'm trying to keep in my head, I've been wanting to blog for a while, but as you can see - things have been pretty busy here.

I also promise, I will be catching up with my reader as soon as I can, hope you are all doing well.

As promised- Before & After Pictures

Better late than never

Here we go!

BEFORE: UGH - Frumpy, frumpy!!

AFTER:

I have several pictures, I couldn't seem to find a really good one. I took a few more myself last night, but surprisingly, the best one was taken by Monkey before I put the little ones to bed last night. What does it say that my almost 6yo takes better photos than anyone else??

Anyway, here we go!!

(<--- This is the one Monkey took - I like it best)

I take horrible pictures - I do not understand why.

These were taken the day after the haircut, but I didn't like them, so I took the other pictures last night.

Obviously, I don't look like the movie stars I posted on Friday, so no need to point out the obvious.

Oh - and if anyone has a Frump fighting idea for combatting a double chin, I would LOVE to hear it. (Double chin?? really?? at 33?? Life is so not fair.)

I PROMISE - Pictures of the new haircut tomorrow.

Is it sad that I realized today that not only have I not uploaded pics of the haircut from almost two weeks ago, but I still have CHRISTMAS pictures on there still.

i suck.

Fightin' the Frump with Hot-Mama Hair!!

Hello! Once again, I'm fighting the frump with the Fabulous Mrs. Fussypants today.

This week, I was supposed to have a wonderful de-frumping post with before and after photos. Unfortunately, I forgot to upload the photos from my camera to the computer, and email them to myself at work. Terrific. So, I'm going to have to TELL you about it, and post the pictures this evening (I hope!!).

Saturday, I decided to follow the advice of a few of last weeks Frump Fighters and went and got my hair cut. I got a swing bob. VERY short - No more ponytails for this girl. All my scrunchies have been rendered useless. When I got home from the salon, Budman said "Hi! I'm Budman, I'm sorry, you have to leave - my wife will be home soon." LOL!! Sunday I did a little of the hair dyeing. I've been getting compliments all week - and I'm feeling FABULOUSLY de-frumpified (is that a word?)

I've been trying to find a picture of a swing bob, and I've had no luck (never mind that I'm SUPPOSED to be working) so picture Victoria (Posh Spice) Beckham's hair (only not anorexic). I swear I'll post the pictures this evening!! (No, I don't honestly think I even remotely resemble Posh Spice, but I've been unable to find a picture of my hair on someone else!) Although, Budman (and one other person) compared it to Jamie Lee Curtis, so I guess maybe I look like this:



Although, I would rather look like this:


Ooh! Maybe I look like this!! Only - blonder..



Or maybe this: (also blond-er)


Maybe not...

This is kinda fun - I may never post the actual photos!!

Join Fussy today with your own Fight the Frump hints!

Have a great day!


***EDIT: I forgot the best thing - well, things, actually. Saturday, I stopped off at the corner store on the way home, to pick up some Dr. Pepper and some beer for the gathering we were having the next day, and the old man at the Gas Station, who sees me at least 4 times a week, didn't recognize me and MADE ME SHOW MY ID!!!!! Yeehaw!

Bet the bestest best thing, is that my hair is SO SUPA EASY to style! I thought I was gonna have to tear the house apart to find my blowdryer and my curling iron, and you know what? I didn't! I just bought some hair gel and some hair spray, and I'm good to go! (And not in a Frumpy way, like I used to)
