No, not the kind you find on 4th ready to roar. The kind on wheels. We're selling one that's a really great deal ($5900 with less than 20K miles). Info here: http://2000cougarforsale.blogspot.com/
Pass it on if you know anyone looking for a car for themselves or their kid!
I interrupt my non-blogging about my favorite hair products to bring you a serious message. I have the amazing opportunity to work at one of the fantastic companies ever - Keller Williams. Although before I moved back to Austin I was working in retail in Dallas and having so much fun interacting with all the creative fashion and environment designers and artists, it's been so wonderful to be back at KW - a company with so much heart, conscience, vision and true leadership.
But enough sap. If you're thinking of buying this year (and if you're thinking about it, no doubt now is the time), you might find this short little video a helpful overview of all that's going on. And let me know if I can ever help you find an agent. Buyer's agents cost the buyers nothing and we at the head office really do have access to the very best agents across the country - and trust me, you want a good agent because there are a lot of mediocres out there!
Do you ever get out of touch with a friend for a while and it's been so long that you then don't call them because there seems to be so much you'd have to talk about that you'd have to schedule in a three hour time block? I haven't updated this blog in a million months and there is so much to share...new place, new baby stuff, getting ready for a baby girl, navigating maternity fashion and adjusting to life as a shoe size 9 (my feet grew A SIZE, people) in flats (so sad for a girl with a serious aversion to sensible shoes?).
But instead, i give you pretty things. Like pretty ladies with balloons in a pretty field followed by a pretty wedding. Full pictures on thenicholsblog and featured on style me pretty. The cork wedge pink payless shoes shown in the full pics almost ruined it for me (sorry, just not a fan) but other than that...completely gorge. Oh, and check out the nichols most recent pics from the white dunes of nm, like nothing i've ever seen!
Since I can't buy shoes and clothes...
This gorgeous ring (found at Eliza Page)? Too expensive ($538.50)
Khiel's unisex cologne? Love this scent. ($38.50)
Adorable Apple & Bee tote? ($48)
Gorgeous gold eroded drop bottom earrings ($160) or pendant ($120) (Eliza Page)
Owl pitcher? So vintage modern ($12) From Madison Belle.
No...in writing this post I've realized I've got to run, not walk down to eliza page and blow it on some gorg jewelry.
I can barely believe it! The week after next we should (fingers crossed) find out the sex of the baby. We really don't have a preference on whether it's a boy or a girl - right now, I'd kinda in love with our girl name - is it wrong that that may have be rooting for a girl? Soon after we have got to go madly register -- this is such an overwhelming thought, but my first shower in Boston is at the very beginning of August! The baby is now the size of my open palm (surreal).
In other news I had a winning week! First, I won 20 Tszuji shoe storage boxes from Stacey at A Girl's Guide to Shoes. Thank you Stacey -- I never win anything! How perfect to have some super-cool boxes to store my super-cute shoes that I won't be able to shove my swollen feet into until 2010. Thankfully, they'll be so happy and cozy in their beautiful boxes that they won't miss walking the streets.
Today's post of her's features these beauties - Jeffrey Campbell Unicorn. Love this unicorn shoe and it's affordable!
I also won two free days off in a raffle for work. My work is really amazing, and seriously dedicated to raising money for charity. Two weeks ago, we raised over 3300 for cancer treatments for one of our co-workers grandchildren. We did it again yesterday with our fourth of July picnic. These are MUCH needed days since I'm saying all my PTO days for maternity leave.
Happy 4th of July!
Hello Austin friends,
If you know anyone looking to live in Westlake, let me know! We're renting our 2 bedroom duplex. It has a huge, HUGE, yard, so it's a great place for people with pets. And it's seriously the best deal in Westlake! Details here.
We're on to bigger spaces with the baby on the way!
We've got news!
I've been missing in action from my blog lately. Mostly because I am exhausted 24-7! I bring you...the story of B-Mac (Baby-Mac)...so far.
It was a stormy night and Tim was feeling romantic....errrrrtttt.....just kidding, we'll leave that part of the story out and pick it up again a few weeks later.
My body knew before I did. Although only a day late, I knew, so I went to buy a test from Walgreens. Three minutes later...
My immediate response was to breathlessly repeat....okay....okay...okay...okay....over and over while searching for some tissue paper to wrap up the test for Tim - because for some reason that was my immediate response. Not finding any, I went BACK to walgreens
Tim came home, opened his "present" and had no words besides.... SHUT UP...which he repeated over and over (funnily enough - my father-in-law had the same response). We processed the news over Austin's pizza. That's class, my friends.
A few weeks of nausea later (during which, Tim assumed his role of pregnant-lady-slave quite well), we had our first doctor's appointment and saw B-Mac for the first time - and MAN was it dancing all around - flexing its little stiff arms and legs. Now, it was real....eeeeeeeeee! Who knew you could be so terrified and excited at the same time!
We called the fams - who promptly started sorting out who would be called what grandma/grandpa name.
And started learning about all the magic of pregnancy...increased bra sizes (seriously, two sizes within weeks!!), excess saliva, dizziness, breathlessness, acne, etc.etc. No seriously, where is the magic.
We're now 16 weeks in, planning a move (anyone want to live in Westlake, we're subleasing!), and looking forward to finding out if we're having a boy or a girl (hopefully at the next appointment). Oh god...and aside...the fashion challenges! I wish i had all the dallas options to shop from. How many jersey dresses can one pregnant lady own? (thank god they make pregnancy spanx)
Who knew that cute little boy with the mullet who asked me out in 7th grade would end up being my wonderful husband and a wonderful daddy-to-be! I LOVE YOU T-MAC!
