85 year old grandma in junior high

No this post isn't an amazing story of how an old grandma finally graduates from junior high, although that would be pretty amazing and redonkulous (yes it is a word) because junior high clearly doesn't matter.

Back to the point, this post is something totally not "kosher" to talk about but since its just you and me Jamie :) you've heard it all from me so why not?

The girls....oh the girls...they've deflated and if I had enough skin they would be rubbing my upper thigh! I've stopped nursing and its become an unusually sad sight to see. I honestly look like an 85 year old back in junior high (yay for title tie in). I've tried to be okay with super small girls and normally its just life BUT do they have to be unusually SMALL and SAGGY...come on!!

Its embarrassing really embarrassing. I think its "part" of what makes you a woman, MF disagrees of course but I think he's just trying to make me feel better. I do know that I am not "one" of those girls that is fine with indented nips that can't indent because they are too busy rubbing your belly button. Speaking of belly, guess mines holding out for the next munchkin to nestle in.

So here I sit belly hanging over my pants, girls nestling down in China town. Heaven help the person that has to see me naked, sorry MF.

Here's to hoping they make training bras that will fit my ever expanding rib cage.

oh my this is hilarious!! I might just have to order myself up some of these bad boys.

What's in a name

can't post without a pic...isn't she so dang cute! this was an awesome session!!
So for all my plethora of readers out there I need your opinions, please!

I'm moving forward with this photo thing and I can't for the life of me figure out a blasted name. I know most people use their name since they are the "artist" but let's be honest my name is super long and people start to fall asleep after the Catherine (thank heavens I married a Vinton and not a Christenanson(I promise its a name)). So listed below are a few of the names I am thinking of.

Honest opinions please I promise you won't hurt my feelings! (just know it will have photography at the end...duh)

MCPhoto (MCphotography is already taken...go figure)
MCVinton
Mae Mae (what the kids call me when they can't say the whole dang thing)
MaeVin


More cutesy cheesy below
Salty lemon
MC Zest
Zesty
Sassafrass
Saucey (because I'm creamy)

There you have it! All the "good" ones are already gobbled up. Oh and if you have a super fantastic name pop up in your head spread the love ladies, I'd love to hear it.

Royal pain!

So a few months ago I got a call asking me to volunteer my time and head up the River Heights Royalty. In my mind I thought it would be fun, right? I didn't have very much notice and hardly any guidelines so I decided to just go for it and try to make it an awesome experience for the girls and hopefully get a "huge" turn out.

I decided to do a health theme because I am passionate about it and feel its super important for young kids to learn, know, and do. With a low budget I pitched for people to volunteer their time for this great cause. So with gusto I went to town....

I asked an amazing instructor from Golds to teach them a little fun hip hop dance (to show them exercise can be fun) and talk about how important it is to remain active. Then I scheduled a dinner at Kitchen kneads to show the girls how to cook healthy meals and the importance of eating healthy. Last but not least I arranged with CASPA to do a scavenger hunt helping families of violence. Super fun, right?

Sent out letters to about 20 girls listing all these fun and exciting things to do plus the joy of course of answering a few questions for a few lovely people and standing on a float for 17 (fine 13...17 sounds more dramatic) plus parades waving the "wave". Oh and did I mention they get a whooping 70 bucks (queen gets 100) to put towards school (should take um far, I know). I didn't think they were getting much so that's why I put together all these great activities. I'm sure you can see where this is going.

Drum roll please...ONE! only one girl sent in her application. So begins the calling and begging until I decided I felt like I was forcing girls into doing something they don't want to. A month after I asked for them another girl sent in her application...man! I don't think its worth it to have 2 girls, am I wrong?

I'm sad and frustrated and can clearly see I don't understand Junior aged girls at all and I think RH wants their Tamber back.

Needless to say Royalty is NOT my thing and I won't be volunteering myself next year :).
