Randomosity

Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you are having an amazing day with your loved ones. I’m so glad to have two valentines this year!

Randomosity refers to a bunch of random things I’d like to share or get off my chest… won’t you join in?

Jason just came downstairs and asked what I was doing.  I told him I was writing a blog post and he said “Is it entitled “Why My Husband Isn’t a Douche”? Someone apparently read what I wrote last week. 

Speaking of…. he did read the blog about birthdays I posted last week, and today he came home from work with a Valentine’s Day card. In the card he had written: “I don’t really care much about this holiday but I know these things are important to you so I am making an effort.” Sweet!

Natalie suggested that I write Jason a list of small things he could do for me for special occasions/just because/birthdays. At first I was really opposed to this (Why should I have to write him a list? Shouldn't he just know by now?) but the more I think about it, the more I think it is a good idea. The truth is that some men just don’t know, and why not make it easier for him?



I pimped out my iPhone4 case last Friday night. This Southern girl will slap a monogram on anything. 
















Various family members have been making comments to me about how I need to cut Cooper’s hair. I did not want to cut his hair but the constant comments were starting to get to me. His hair isn’t that long overall, but he does have one long chunk that hangs in his eyes when you brush his hair forward. I decided to just trim that one chunk, and the results were disastrous. He pulled away just as I was cutting. He looks a little bit like Jim Carrey’s son from Dumb & Dumber, no? Oh well. I’m leaving it as is until it grows out again, and then I’ll have a professional cut it. You don’t really notice it if you brush it to the side. 















Don’t ask me what I'm doing in this picture. I picked up some new foundation this weekend, and Sunday was the first time I wore it. I wanted to take a picture to see how it looked because Jason said I looked like I had my makeup caked on. I look possessed, right? Where are my lips?

Y’all know I love me some Bare Escentuals, but that makeup just isn’t practical for me to wear everyday. It takes me awhile to apply it correctly, and I am short on time when I’m trying to get myself and Cooper ready for work and daycare. I have been wearing MAC Studio Fix (which I love for its coverage and ease of application) but my skin has changed since I had a baby and it doesn’t look good anymore. I just feel like I look very dry and cakey. I went to the MAC counter on Saturday and the MA recommended Studio Sculpt for foundation and Mineralize Skin Finish in Light for my powder. I haven’t decided how I feel about it yet, but I do love that it covers more than the Studio Fix. 

MAC just came out with the Wonder Woman collection – the MSF (Mineralized Skin Finish) in the left picture is Pink Power. The packaging is adorable and it makes a great bronzer. I snatched up the last one in the store!















Check out my crazy dramatic little boy. He’s such a cheeser! He’s started to make funny faces, and he cracks Jason and me up on a daily basis. 



I love that we’re standing in front of the Bud Light sign. Classic. I don’t love this picture of me, but aren’t my boys handsome?



When did he become such a big boy?!

What did you do for Valentine’s Day? Who was your valentine?
