MAYDAY! MAYDAY!

Oh crud guys!! Serious trouble! I have like a hundred hot halloween costumes but for tomorrow's ward party, been planning for EVER to be one of those slutty but cute devils w/ a plastic pitchfork and cute horns and a red hooker outfit, but SnuggleNugget is being all prudey and said it's ok {and actually, really HOT} for all our freind parties on Sat but "not" "appropriate" for Trunkertreat tomorrow. Need new idea stat!

Requirements: adorable, hot, righteously riskay.

HELLLLP!

p.s. sooo annoying, no Glee last night are you freakin SERIOUS??? {I fastfwd thru the inappropriate parts, swear it}

where in i give some advise

So sorry it's been FOREVER since I blogged, so behind on my journaling, bad I know!! Tons to catch up on too bc we had the busiest funnest weekend ever and I have dozens of pics to post of us in the pumpkin patch and being zany at corn mazes and boots and scarfs ect.! But those'll have to wait bc there is tons of you in need!

Seriously guys, I keep getting all these emails w/ stuff like "TAMNers, help me! My life is lame!" or "TAMN, how do you be so cute?" or "Will you teach a mini-class on interior decorating in my ward this week?" and on and on. It brakes my heart to think of so many of you frowny and needy, and I feel a duty to help bc to parafrase the song, because I have been hottie much...

Some of you're recent questions:

TAMN, my hot boyf and I are thinking about getting engaged soon. What pre-engagement tips can you give us?

BAA!! The being engaged to be engaged is the best part! Make sure you tell everyone you know that your engaged but its still a secret bc it's not official, bc even when you have a temple date and have already boughten your dress, you'll still be WAY suprised when your ring shows up. This way people have at least 14 seperate times they have to shriek out w/ you: pre-engagement, actual engagement, when you get the ring, when you resize the ring, bridal showers 1-8, wedding, reception. More on this later!

Hey girl, just wondering, when I got married my own Angelbabe was awesome but now we lost some of our spark. We have a bunch of little kids and no boat and he's still in elder's quorum! Help!

Sad! Sounds like you guys let the sizzle fizzle. Gross. Let me guess, he was never AP was he. Poor girl. Did you forget my earlier advice about how muscles are happiness bc six pack now --> stake president later? First off, get a more expensive camera so your pics together look happier. As a marriage expert {coming up on our 28th monthiversary!} I can say w/ matturity, the answer is always just loose weight and try harder. Also, lipstick.

TAMN, my baby won't sleep through the night. He's two months old and everyone else's babies, according to the blog world, sleep like through the night. What am I doing wrong?

TWO MONTHS? Sad! That is like ANCIENT in baby years! If he's not sleeping 7 PM - 7 AM non stop, no offense, but your probably a bad mom, bc baby sleeping habits reflect your worth as a mother and person. Even if he's not sleeping thru the night, just say he is and make sure to blog about your greatfulness. Anything less is surrendering to the frumpies.

Isn't helping fun? LOVE letting my light shine! Any other Qs I can help you with?

hollidays!

Soooo greatful for email fwds that bring alot into my life and exspecially the one I just got informing me that there're only SIXTY THREE sleeps til Christmas!

Now that it's Oct it's time for me to start thinking about people who will want to get me stuff, just a head up that these are my personal rules this year, since part of the sprit and meaning of the holidays is making sure people know what to get you slash avoiding them getting the wrong idea about how I'd be happy with socks;

1. I am only giving handmade gifts and have already started almost all of them. I WOULD post tutorials but I don't want to ruin suprises, and plus there all from OTHER blog tutorials but I'm pretending their my idizz.

2. I am only acceppting store boughten {list w/ pics and prices linked to the store to come!!}

oposition in all things

Ugh. It's soooo hard when I'm so blessed but then all the sudden challenged at the same time, like my heart is being squozen in two!

Blessings: cOrN mAzEs and gArDnEr viLlAgE wItChEs!! Also, my favorite garment-optional holiday is coming up! Yay!

Trails: Had the cutest BOOing planned for our neighborhood and then someone else started an ugly one from like 1987.

Life can be really unfair.

Annnnd Yvette....

Is that still even a country?

Holy stressing --> blessing!

After we drove the Alpine Loop for like the tenth time, I NEEDED delicious homemade roles for dinner, but seen as how I didn't know how, I got the yum recipe from Glamma. Was nervy and felt like bawling but decided to throw myself into the gauntlet and just go for it! I put baby einstien on repeat again, put on heels and a sassy apron, put on the new Colbie, sprinkled flour on my face, took a few self-portraits of myself in the kitchen and went to work.


DRUM ROLLS!!!


On the fifth try I got it perfect! Soo hard but sooo worth it. So good and cute they seriously scream TAMN! Can't WAIT to bake bake bake this fall, blog a photo-tutorial, offer to teach a mini-class for {what was formilly known as} enrichment, and maybe even open a bakery or at least sell roles on etsy!

LOVE talents!

jumpers galore

Oh em gosh, tommorrow Yvette supposably gets her mission call!!!
Poor girl isn't related to any GAs so had to wait the full month like commoners.

Any predictions???

If it's the Fiji or something she can at least start her lonly existence tan. I'll seriously cry if they send her somewhere gross like Romainia but then again not like it would be THAT big of a suprise, but if she stays in America her bum'll double which trust me, whoa. Where where where??? And if she gets a call, will she GO??

ginorm diffrence

This AM, on my 4th rep of 100 crunches I started being all deep. Tons of you know that we've been thinking about getting preggo for over a month. Everyone is like, why now TAMN, you have two 6 months olds cuter then everyone eltse's babies combined, wait a little, your so young, quit whinning when you've only tried for a month and 'technicly' wouldn't even 'know' yet if you were preggy.

Thanx but, rude.


I am NOT being selfish or immature about this and if you think I am your the immature one, rubber glue. You don't know how bad I miss my floating fetus widget! Or how nice it is not to force yourself to puke bc it starts to just happen on it's own. Or how much I miss taking b&w pics of my baby bump w/ JJWT and I's hands forming a gentle heart around my outtie. Do you seriously want me to just inch closer and closer to thirty when your eggs get all shrively?

But at the same time, if we wait, I could do tons more marathons and tri's and leave my breastfeeding ticker up longer to look like a better mom. Total catch 32.

Announcement: instead of officially trying, we're now just going to see what happens.

bwt, what does darling sound like?

Guys! I tweetered this the other day and lurved the responses so much I gotta blog it. Know how one of the best ways people tell other people about theirselves is through they're blog music? Even though my playlist is awesome and says alot about me and my hip taste, some of my e-besties are all, its time to change the song's.

Suggestions pleeeze!

Keep in mind, I like awesome.

best part of the year

THIS WEEKEND IS THE BIG WEEKEND!!!

The best part of confrince {unless your one of those yawnies who pays to much attention, remember notebooks are for decorating and carrying but beyond that-- puke!} is the part where I don't get board, which is actually two parts:

{a} looking most skinny and stylish of all the wive's at our mission reunion tonite, 'our's' bc JJWT's mission was just as much mine with all the sacrificing I did and

{2} the Saturday night GNO. Fun! Yay! Yum!

I'm not on this year's GNO-planning committee bc we take turns but my pridiction is two words: Anthro & Olivegarden.

What're YOU doing??

uh oh

Guys, it's OCTOBER and I haven't even blogged about how exited I am for fall bc of boots and sweaters!

How embarassing.
