not to be self-abzorbed but

T-shirt clarification slash update
One more way I'm like Marie Osmond (but cute): My hot new tees are limited edition (like Marie's dolls!) and they are going fast so jump on it right here! Like I have in vinyl above the TV where I do my workout vids, NO REGRETS, so plz don't sob to me when their sold out and say I didn't worn you! Plus when I see you wearing yours at the Gateway, I promise to give you a cheek-touch hug before reminding you that I totally wore mine first! Bc of pregger brain (seriously guys, being preggo = way rewarding but way hard and NOT just cuz of acne. Not that I have it, just that I've heard it happens. Not that I gossip.) I forgot to publicly applaud our t-shirt idea winners!!! Sharon emailed in "Materialism Makes Me Cry" which it really does, as I explained here, Lili suggested "My Life is a Kick-A fairytale" (which it is! SO. TRUE.) from this post AND "Fro yos: Like cocaine but cheaper, legal and not against the plan" from this post...guys just typing that made me CRAVE ONE like CRAZY...and Kristen suggested I'm off diet coke which was taken from...my life. Yay for them (cheerkick!)! Anyways, those winners get a free one AND lifetime bragging rights so email me at seriouslysoblessed at yahoo for info and an e-high-five.

And seriously I AM off diet coke and can feel a ginorm difference. 30 min since my last one and I can tell I'll DEFINATELY practice-strollerjog faster tomorrow bc my blood won't be as carbonated.

Anyways, thanx for the tAg, friend's!!
I am...hot and righteous.
I think...endless, random thoughts.
I heart...SUNSHINE, the gym, my fetus, and blog stocking! Everyone is so creative!
I dance...good.
I want...Anthro. When I see something I MUST HAVE there, I parade around the store hugging it close to my chest til JJWT offers to buy it for me. We have stayed for HOURS and HOURS at a time w/ me frozen- smiling and clutching various gorgeous must-halves with my darling death grip til he's given in. Once we even got kicked out! LOL! Love you babe! :)
I have...great hair. And the BEST husband EVER.
I am scared of...spiders. Even just writing that shivered my freak out timbers so I put it teensy.
I hate...frowns, materialism, out of date clothes and judging.
I miss...smooching randoms. j/k!
I write...hardfelt poems.
I wish...I were Bella, plus the plan and minus the vampire ess-ee-ex.
I fear...getting the chubbies.

I tag YOU, Marie Osmond, Yvette to cheer her up, all my Bunco girlz, and Ryan if he's reading :).

this one's for the girlz!!

Officially in love with all my girls, both YOU (my e-BFFs!) and wives club-FFs and Bunc/ko FFs and book club FFs and all the girls from when JJWT sold pest control/security systems to save up for my ring and my MiaMaids who keep me young by texting all day...seriously don't feel FIVE years older than them! Ack!--and all my hair school girls and all the girls from when I nannied which I consider my internship for motherhood! SO glad that out of all my groups of friends, none of my girls are caddy or clicky, just chill with ZERO drama!! Today I e-honor you!

Special thanx to my law/business/medical/dental school wives club committee (we need a NAME for our club, any idizz???!) and everyone who helped yesterday's welcome tunnel an amazing success so thanx for your prayers! While JJWT and the other hubbys started school, us wives took tons of pix of ourselves making silly faces and--get this--sassy poses! Then 8 of us split a salad at Cafe Rio bc who wants to be a tubbalard (NOT ME!), then we got natural fro yo and stroller jogged home with special pilates handweights. Even though I don't have a bebe yet, still pushed a stroller for practice and it was seriously super fun.

Good news everybody (frills this time!): the universe is smiling upon us once more bc the hot new shirts you voted for are ready to pre-order! BAAAA! Click here to check them out! Before I nannied and went to hair school, I totally was almost a fashion designer so this is defiantly giving me my design institute fix!! Thanx to some MORE of my girlz, the cute slash talented reader shel7by and the adorable Line Upon Line lady for the designs and the seriously fantastic Bruce of AdProMarketing (even though he's not a girl) that made all this possible. Wipe tear (so greatful 2b a cute crier). Great for Bunco shirts, book club shirts, girlz camp shirts, wives club shirts, seriously.

Anyways, I'm MAJOR stressing because (sad slash embarrassing to admit this) I'm TWO cruises behind with scrappin'...SO greatful for girltime that seriously makes all the crazy stress that's piling up just melt away and I get sooo happy inside!! LOVE YOU!

UPDATE: Did you see that my blog was seriously on the Lord's channel today? BAAAA!!

And just before my adorable infomercial ends, can I just tell you that I am one step closer to Oprah bc my bloggy is going to be on TV at 4 o'clock on Tuesday August 26! KSL, the righteous network of Thelympics and confrince and now TAMNers.

Anywho, someone suggested I set Yvette up with Ry...whaddayathink? LOVE playing matchmaker, but obviously she's not really his type. I mean, he likes babes.

What mite have been

Kay guys, I have GOT to tell you something or I'll explode! Last night was SUCH a Garth song! JJWT and me had an indescribably amazing date night at Chang's cuz me and fetus were craving our own authentic China experience, and GUESS who we saw?? My ex Ryan!! One of the guys I got engaged to while JJWT was on his mish!!! WEIRD weird WEIRD. Poor Ry's life is SUCH a bummer now (mean that in a nice way), bc not only was he w/ my sort of skanky neighbor who got sent home from EFY two summers ago (not to judge but the whole things a little scandalicious) but since I dumped him he has TOTALLY gone off the deep end. Use to have tonz of po-tential, now he drinks ice tea. SAD!

Anyways, since this is my journal, the story is that back when Ry popped the Q, I didn't really tell JJWT. He'd only been out 2 mos and I didn't want to distract him, plus was still going to JJWT's fam's for Sunday dinner so didn't want things to get awkward, but Ry and I had TONZ in common! Both LOVED fun AND both loved Eyetalian food AND he was TOTALLY going to be a dentist and I'd always call him Dr. and we planned tons of vaycays so I = pretty pos he was the one. But then, everything changed :( .

He switched his major.

To SOCIAL WORK.

I mean, I'm all about helping people, but not for a LIVING! I prefer indirect service such as stimulating the economies. So, that's when I knew it wouldn't work and he started to gross me out, but I didn't know how to break it to him, PLUS the ring was so darling and the dresses and showers were so fun I didn't call it off til a couple weeks before. What's SO super about prayer is that it's not only a neat way to send the universe messages, it's also a handy Donald Trump card to get you out of stuff! Just say "I don't fill good about it" and the other person is seriously stuck! LOL! Ry cried so hard, so that was a bumout. I felt way bad (he is NOT a cute crier) so I shrugged, frownsmiled, batted my hairy-spider eyes and while shaking my cute head, gently said, "Don't blame me," and pointed an acrylic nail heavenward.

SOOO great to see him!!!

My magnifying glass is WAY full!

CanNOT hardly STAND the level of exCITEMment racing thru my VAINS and shooting out my fingers as I TYPE!! Seriously, summer was SO busy it din't even feel like summer I swear, BUT, love getting ready to go back to school! So humbling slash overwhelming slash awesome that I just found out that I, TAMN, am the new boss of the wives club at our law/business/medical/dental school, so basically, in our schoolingo, you are reading the blog of the...drrrrrrumrolllll...FIRST LADY!! BAAAA!! SO greatful I could just shriek large overpowering greatful shrieks forever!!

Last year the First Lady did a darling job but some of the activities were (not to be rude) super painful boring and made me just want to shout "MAGNIFY!!" all encouragingly. So now with this new reign, er, stewardship, I'll be able to grow'n'show my talents in a ginormous way as I TAMN things up...sooo greatful for the opp! Let's just say this little lite of mine is gonna shine the heck out of itself!! But in a way down to earth way because I don't want to be one of THOSE over the top wackos, I want my legacy to be like a back to basics type a thing. So I am spending time w/ my committee and countselors getting ready to welcome all the hubs back to school NEXT WEEK!! Hope you don't mind I'm going to jot down what I've been up to since this blog is my journal:

• We had a WNO (Wives Night Out) with some fro-yo (yum!) and some diet coke (awful, I know) and had the BEST craft nite EVER! Tons of scrappin', tons of stampin', tons of servin', tons of awesome. Covered the outside of each textbook in thick adorable paper and tons of fun stamps and eyelets and ribbons and rub-ons, THEN for the finishing touch we took the inside cover of each book and made collages of awesome things (big shiny cute Escalade, our future boat, our future pool, me outside Anthro, me inside Anthro, etc.) to help motivate each of our boys to get big not literally fat important jobs! Looked so dang good when we were done I can't even tell you. Creative AND helpful AND using our talents productively...talk about a triple whammy/TAMNY :) !! So excited to be loaded, mostly so we can help others, for example upping my pedis to help those nice asians! LOVE service!
• THEN we printed a TON of seriously adorable flashcards with way hard law/biz/med/dental terms on them (thanx, Cricut!), ones such as "contracts" and "aggregate" and ""periodontal" and "veneer," then laminated them, THEN went the extra mile and bEdAzzlEd them! All us girls are going to take turns quizzing each other so we can understand the guyses boring slash serious convos. I am TOTALLY calling you guys my cohorts instead of e-BFFs! J/k, talk about a yawner. But with practice all us law/biz/med/dental babes'll totally be able to keep up when they start talking about maximizing prophets which has GOT to be a good thing.
  
• We definately busted out the Pampered Chef/Tupperware/insert Home Business Opportunity here gear, including the most DARLING cookie cutters EVER to EXIST throughout time and are using them to add serious personality, passion and pizazz to the lunchtime sandwiches we make so lovingly each day!! Love the one shaped like an "A+!" not to mention the darling hearts, stars, crowns and even a little briefcase! Personally, I love LOVE love to cut the meat with it, THEN the low-fat cheese with it, THEN the tomatos, cukes, etc., THEN combine them and cut the bread with it so all the corners match up. Angelbabe is going to grin his hot face right off when he sees all the support I put in those suckers! One more way we don't let the sizzle fizzle!!
• Supposably it's still "too early" for me to go to the DTD (Down There Doc) about our cute fetus, BUT made plans with all the other prego gals (TIMEOUT: Soooo fun that so many of them are prego too...weird, right??!), we are going to hit up Fetal Fotos ASAP and get 3D pics of our babies faces and then put little talking bubbles on them that say things like "Good luck, dad!" and "No pressure, it's just my social status! :)" to plaster around the boyses study desks to help them focus.
  
• We spent the afternoon yesterday making TONZ and TONZ of pompoms for us to shake enthusiastically when we make the wElcOmE tUnnEl!! All the wives line up at the school's entrance and make a tunnel with pompoms and we shake them as JJWT and friends run through on there way to the first day of class, and we yell encouraging things like "SYNERGY!!!"
  

Seriously, can you see why I'm the busiest prego ever???!!! Anyways, that's prolly all I'll do for now, bc I don't want to overdue the first day of school. Like I always say, simplicity speaks such cute volumes. Love you!

blogged from my iphone

special olympic addition!

Well, just the regular Lympics, not the special ones, but the POST is special. Love being inspired, but some of these peeps totally stump me! Eye-eee, Dara Torres. Would she be an AWESOME fake mom if spinsty needed a stand-in, or would her tuff arms be way scarry? Hardest call ever. Maybe give her a loose shirt so no one flips at the bizarro buffness? Either way, SO cool to know she's a mom, like me! Not to brag, but bc honesty's important to me I just have to say, I'll prolly be way fitter than that after being prego, and not nasty buff either, but it's comforting to know I won't have to stand alone in that league of babe. Though unlike Dara, my knowledge of the plan makes me both hot AND righteous (double threat!) and that's what sets me a part. Sigh...being a lone in cuteness has always ben my burden.
Anyways, love LOVE love the gymnasts, but too bad about Nastia's name...gross! Also, SO sad that gymnasts have such big mannish necks, but other than that, so greatful for them!! I mean, Shawn Johnson is not only darling and perky and one of my honorary e-BFFs, but she also reminds me of An American Tail which happens to be like my fave movie from before I was born! Use to stare into the sky and belt Somewhere Out There every night during JJWT's mish, so tonz of special memories come when she marches and flips and stuff. Thanx Shawners! My e-BFFs and I will be singing our v. best pageant versions of the "Out where dreams come truuue!!" part for you tomorrow during the beam, girl!

calling all besties!!

Materialism makes me cry.

Nice degree!

The DTD freaks me out.

I need a mini personal vaycay.

Those are all reader suggestions for hot new tees and guess what, it's time to stop FREAKING OUT about how much awkward hottie Mikey Phelps eats (TWELVE THOUSAND calries?? A DAY?? ew ew ew!! I don't even eat that in a month...blechy!) and submit your OWN idea for the next TAMNers-inspired t-shirt, either in the comments or electro-mail to seriouslysoblessed at yahoo dot com. The winner gets their own free one AND lifetime bragging rights not to mention the personal satisfaction that comes from being both darling and hillarious. BAAA!! Love you too!

Bubbly (sub)Urban Nourish Chicas, Okiedokie?!

Hi guys, did you catch my secret message?? The 1rst letter in each word of the post name spells what I love LOVE loved doing last night, get it? Think about it you guys! GET IT?? Baaaaaaaaa! Sometimes I clap and sing it to the tune of Bee Eye Enn Gee Oh, and hostess was my name-O! :) Yay I heart Bunco! Or Bunko! C or K, total konundrum. Either way, definitely TAMNed up my nite to hostess!

Just a sec, need to major vent: it makes my heart ashamed when people say Bunco is gambling because it is NOT even close, and since I've never received counsel on it from the two places I consider binding and official (confrince and email) it's totally fine. If I get a fwd on it I may reconsider, but seriously, LOVE IT, and NOT just because it's all luck and no skill ok? SO much fun to just let all my adult responsibilities go and de-wind, relax and get silly with my girlies and my besties. Chose the theme of Cowgirl Beach Vaycay, mostly so we could watch a slideshow of all the times JJWT and me've horsebackrid on the beach, PLUS we all got wear our modest bikinis and big hats and cute pigtails and huge beltbuckles and blast country and I made an adorable wooden sign that says "Bunco-ing Bronco Time, Cowgirlz only!" We glued teensy glittery cowboy-hat confetti on each other's cheeks with special cleansing/pore minimizing facial glue (sparkling beyond belief = serious guilty pleasure), THEN yelled "Yee-haw!" when we got Bunc/kos and all sang along superloud with every Tim/Keith song and carry-okeed to tons of Rascal and ate nummy veggie-steaks! My prizes were rhinestone cowboy boots which caused everyone to majorly covet. I got the highest score (HAPPY DANCE!) and LIKE her life's not sad enough, Yvette (spinsty) got the lowest AND the boots were too small for her ginormous feet...whoooops. One of my secret greatest slash most abiding wishes is that one day Yvette will be sick so Rachael Ray will sub w/ our group. P.S. the bikinis were way fun bc everyone L-O-V-E-D my baby bump and said I looked skinny, which I BETTER, because I've only eaten prenates, Orbitz and lite microwave pawcorn for the last 3 days and I feel cuter than ever...yum! Moral of the story: Mommy loves Bunco, baby loves Orville.

Me + JJWT + Fetus = 3

The best things in life are three! :) I tag YOU.

3 joys:
1. The J-J-Dub-T rubbing my feet and feeling our baby kick. Other people say they don't feel it for like four more months but luckily I happen to be in tuned.
2. My young womens.
3. Shopping, candles, stampin', Anthro, eyeliner, my flat iron, Cheesecake, my ipod, gum, Slimfast, mani/pedis, roses, my new iphone, and other simple things in life...doesn't take much to keep me happy!

3 current goals:
1. Find a cute project now that I FINALLY quit my job and only have 8 mos to get ready for my darling baby...any idiz?
2. Run a one-eighth marathon! (Some people call it a "fivekay" but whatev).
3. Eliminate all frowning, other than the frownsmile which is useful at church when someone shares a neat forward or tender good news minute.

3 random facts:
1. Love calling my favorite country music artists by their first name, makes it seem like we're the closest ever which we are...Tim, Keith, Taylor, Carrie...AMAZING!
2. Sometimes I write very personal beautiful poems to JJWT and hang them everywhere. So private and special that I wouldn't dare post them unless you like begged me and would do so way reluctant.
3. High maintenance girls give me SUCH a ginormous headache.

3 current obsessions:
1. Mary-Kate and Ashley movies, weird I know.
2. Thelympics! Just have to admitt, Mikey Phelps is my guilty pleasure, and if I weren't married AND if he knew about the plan, I'd totally nab him! LOL, I wonder if he has a cool truck. We have tonz in common bc I use to be good at swimming too (the metals are still on my parent's mantle) BUT unlike Mikey I quit bc huge shoulders and thighs are hot for boys and gross for girls and who wants to be gross? Anyways, love him! Go Merica and go Mikey! It would be SO COOL to be there, China just seems so asian and asian is awesome. Last summer I got a henna tattoo on my ankle that said "Bubbly" in asian and looked so hardcore.
3. Breaking Dawn!!! Can we talk about how weird/cool the breaking-out-of-a-hard-placenta thing was yet or am I still not allowed bc you're taking FOREVER to read it!? Just dying to say that vampire babies are cool, but how do they fit in the plan?? I mean, are they even accountable?

HIGH JACKED

Hey guys, this is Jordan/Jason/Wes/Taylor or JJWT for short. I guess I should introduce myself since I know my wife has a ton of blogging friends I don't know. I snuck onto TAMNs computer because I am highjacking her blog. She'll never see it coming even though she gave me her password last night. She'll probably be so T.O.'d but I just wanted to publicly tell the internet that my wife is such a killer wife. She has been awesome this whole pregnancy and is always worrying about others so I thought this would be HER time to shine for once. Today lets honor my adorable TAMN.

This pic is from three trips to Hawaii ago. This pic rocks. My wife is the shiz.

Top 10 things I love about my TAMNers:

10. I always thought you were hot and after a couple dates I forgot about all eight of my buddies that had dated you before I did.
9. I'll never forget when I found out you had used someone else's mom as your own. Yeah it was weird, but I couldn't even be shocked or mad because you were so cute explaining that you wanted me to like you so bad.
8. I think it's cute how after seeing Twitch and Joshua in the finals, you want me to try out for SYTYCD with the stagename AngelLoaf.
7. It drives me nuts that very time you borrow my truck you insist on taking 15 to put the "Yield to the Princess" license plate cover on and don't always remember to take it off, but it's cool and kind of cute.
6. All your GNOs mean that I get hours of uninterrupted Halo time.
5. Honestly, that time you nominated me for EQ prez was a little awkward. I felt weird passing out buttons and putting that campaign sign in our yard, but I know you were just trying to be supportive.
4. I love that all I have to do is drop a couple hundred bones on a spa day and then I can golf all I want.
3. You are such a good mother already. I am so pumped to have a little stud around to tell all my HS football/mission stories to so thanks for baring him.
2. The lunches you bring me every day at law/business/medical/dental school rock. At first the sandwitches tasted weird because of the perfume you sprayed in the lunchbag but now it only stings my tongue a little.
1. All those times our first year of law/business/medical/dental school when I told you I was studying but I was really watching R-rated movies and you didn't even question me.

Your the best. Love you babe!

To My Searching Sisterz

My sweet darling old maid friend Yvette is down in the dumps because honestly, she has the saddest slash most boring life ever. She hasn't TOLD me that but I can sirmise it from her condition of singleness, and other people's frowns make ME frown, which is a bummer AND a wrinkle-inducer not to mention basically the opposite of my favorite hymn. Just can't take it any more! INTERVENTION!!! Here is some advice from ME, which not to be calky but I = a bit of an expert in this arena.

To snag your own JJWT:

Do's:

• Mascara, mascara, mascara. When ppl say you have tarantula eyez, it means your SO hot even a hairy spider couldn't resist! Dang!
  
• avoid wearing sweats, BUT, if you're gonna wear sweats, MAKE SURE there is something sassy written on your bottom.
  
• TEXT IN CHURCH. This will make you look even cuter and way less boring...if you can do this with tonz of gum, EVEN CUTER!
  
• put out...not tonz (HAZARD IN THE HORIZONTAL!!) but definately enough that they can taste your lipsmackers, which should be either super-shiny berry or Dr. Pepper flavored. Trust me, guys HEART that.
• Make SURE (DEAD SURE, canNOT emphasize this one enough) you have a darling mom. Guys scope HER out to gauge your FP so nothing personal but the two of you might want to get a buddy pass at Golds. In a pinch, borrow a friend's cute mom. Had to do this with JJWT for like three months while my mom had weird adult acne. Remember the rhyming mantras: "if I'm to find my EC, it is up to me. It's not a lie if it catches the guy." Repeat thrice, preferably in the meer with a hand on your hip.

DON'Ts

• do NOT wear long sleeves. Seriously, they make you look uptight and like forty. Cap sleeves are best, TRUST ME, way more shaved-arm available to tickle in movies.
• do NOT get a short haircut and/or make your hair one color (BOAR-RING!). Long and multi-colored is your best bet (but, don't bet, it's practically porn).
  
• WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT GO TO MORE SCHOOL, unless you want people to start calling you Yawnette. Think about it! Serious! How often do guys whistle and yell "Nice degree!" or shake there heads and say "What adorable knowledge"? EXACTLY.

Your welcome girls!! Good luck!!

heart 2 heart, part deux

Hi everybody!! Since way to many of you FREAKED when I posted a teensy-tiny spoiler last time, guess what, dishing about Breaking Dawn and how Edward finally dies will just have to wait...JUST KIDDING, HE DOESN'T DIE! Or does he?? Anyways, I still have more of your Qs to A...sorry it's taken me forEVER, just superbusy with my way fun life/errands/bean preggo and everything, crazy! Here're some more!

*MARY* said "I'm just duh-eyeing to know which Disney princess you are!"
Horay! LOVE quizzes, LOVE Disney, LOVE princesses, so this = soo exciting. Took this quiz and was FULL-ON positive I'd be Sleeping Beauty or Snow White (w/ highlights) or someone else darling, but then SUPRISE, totally messed up and gave me this, weird or what??? Random!



You are the female equivalent of Belle's narcissistic, arrogant suitor, Gaston: you are admired and loved by almost everyone in the village. Although conceited, you should be applauded for your courage in assuming everyone should love you.

S. said "Are gas prices getting you down?
Ugh, I try not to let ANYTHING bum me out bc I heart being positive and frowning is a downer, exspecially FINANCIAL frowning, which is the worst kind. After I fill up, I put my pink ipod on something peppy (see my playlist for deets) and just drive around til I forget all about it! :)

Kalola said, "Do you like funeral potatoes?"
You bet! But, feel WAYSUPER guilty when I eat the regular ones tho, so my all-time fave is with FF cheese, FF sour cream and lite potatos. YUM!

Seth asked, "Are you going green?"
Ya, I recycle and everything, but what's the point? The earth's gonna burn N-E-ways!

Laura asked, "So, how do you categorize people who are divorced, gay, or lead 'not so perfect' lifestyles? Are they just 'not as blessed?'"
Ew! Sinning is the worst! Hate to get all boring slash serious, but I have had a rill personal battle with this bc I have had to watch loved ones choose the wrong and it makes my heart hurt. For example, three summers ago (SOOO embarrassing, can't believe I'm admitting this but after all, this blog is my journal)....my bro wore a colored shirt. To SACRAMENT! Way sad. So, did what I do best: fast. He not only stopped it, but I dropped a hole-nother ell-bee! Jackpot! Just goes to show, blessings are the BEST.

Kalola asked, "What is your favorite hymn?"
Tough Q!! Sooooo hard to say! Love them all! Butt, if I HAFTA choose...definately a tie btwn: "If you chance to meet a frown" and "Never A Better Heero."
