There is nothing that I love more....

then after 2 days of puking your guts out, fevers, hot flashes, body aches, pj's--- basically just the total craps. The day you finally feel better and decide to venture back into the world of make-up, hair spray, clean clothes (that do not have an elastic waist) and shaving. And it totally makes you feel like a million bucks!!
So CHEERS to the New Year! I think it is a good omen, especially for how big my hair is. The bigger the hair, the better year you have! --Brittney Thompson

Best Compliment!!

Today in all of my hustle and bustle I decided to treat myself and stopped in to Lovely Nails for a quick Manicure. Don't my finger nails look so pretty and festive!

Well anyway...the lady who was giving my manicure gave me the best compliment! Usually when I go in there I am so paranoid because they always ask me if I want a wax..pointing to my eyebrows. I in turn always tell them no not today..Like I would ever let anyone wax my eyebrows. I really try to shape them myself. Everytime they ask me this I think of the episode on friends when Joey goes to get his eyebrows waxed and it hurts him so much that he ends up having Chandler (and his delicate hands) do the other one.
Well not today...She instead told my that they were very well shaped! And then asked me who did them. I looked up with such surprise and said Loud and Proud....I do them myself. She then told me I did a very good job! So I thought I should include a picture so you all could see what I was talking about. I didn't mean for the picture to turn out so weird!

I may be chubby but past that chubby body lays some smokin hot eyes!

Why I will be a good parent.....#1

So today was Friday and I usually watch my nieces on Fridays. Well today we needed to go to Toys R Us to look for a present for someone who will rename nameless until after Dec. 16th. Anyway...We pull into the parking lot and my very very smart 6 year old niece asks...

Rorie: Brit Brit (my nickname for the day) Why are we here?

Myself: I need to look for a gift.

Rorie: (Says to her 3 year old sister Peighton) They have a lot of toys here Peighton.

We get out of car and start walking in.

Rorie: Are you going to buy us something?

Peighton: (With a huge smile on our face) Your going to buy us something?!?!

Myself: (The fastest I have ever been able to come up with something) I would love to buy you something but Santa told me not to. He was afraid that I would buy the same thing that he was planning on giving you and he would be so sad!

Rorie: Yea...That sounds right! Peighton we have to wait until after Christmas!

Now I know that it is not good to lie to your children but come one..I did a pretty good dang job! There was no begging, no arguing, no tears and no headaches. (All of which would have come from me.) I had so much fun with them! They are the two cutest little things! And sense I dont have my own kids to brag about...I get to brag about them.
Here are a couple of cute pictures I snapped during the day!
