First Foam Party

False Hopes

Started the day off in disappointment when I thought there were more granola bars in the pantry. Only to find out that some sick person left an empty box to tease me. DAMN YOU, Granola bandit, DAMN YOUUUU! I just imagine this little tiny keebler elf peeking around the corner and letting out a squeaky 'mooohhohahahah.'
 He's slowly getting me, that granola bandit, ...one snack & condiment at a time.


My first Foam Party
(July 15, 2010)

So, my fiance and I haven't seen one of my good friends (Mark) in a long time. So we headed to Birmingham to hang with him for his birthday and go check out a club for a Foam Party.
Mark had made me an awesome pac man cake for my birthday one year and I never had been able to return the favor. So this year I went a little extravagant and made him this ..Draq Queen Barbie Cake and thank God he loved it!

Surprisingly it was really fun. It took like an hour or so for them to get the foam started but when it did it was CRAZY. Everyone wanted to be under the foam and if you were in the right place it came up to your chest. So Dustin and I were just slowly daning and scooting our way to the middle and next thing we knew we were covered head to toe and soaked.
It ended up being really fun and I'll prob end up going to another...
Here's a few pics of the madness!!



















Okay so the last image is  a bit blurry but you can tell how high the foam was getting!!

Chapter One

I finally decided to start a blog about everyday life and just about anything and everything that comes to mind. I'm going to start my first blog on the up and down kind of day I had yesterday.

Cardiac Arrest:

My dog decided to try and commit suicide right in front of me yesterday. My dad and I were chatting on the front porch for a bit when I hear my dad scream so loud I had to cover my ears. He yelled my dogs name and as I looked up, he was already in the middle of the road with a van heading straight towards him. I immediately bolted in that direction (not knowing what I would've been able to do), I still ran. Luckily and thankfully the man driving the van was paying complete attention to the road and stopped. I scooped the little guy up and all I could do was hold him tightly and cry like a baby. My dad told me I should've popped him but all I could think was thank God my lil buddy didn't get hit. :]
But seriously, you can't take your eye off of anything for a second because that's all the time it takes for something really bad to happen..


Epidurals cannot paralyze you:

My sister asked me to go to a prenatal class with her that evening since her husband had to work. We walked (well, she waddled) into the room and had a few gummy fruit snacks before she started. At first I was a little hesitant to go because I really wasn't in the mood to watch all the lovely birthing videos and I wasn't having a baby so why would I be entertained?? But I really actually enjoyed it. I wasn't even having a baby and it made me comfortable with the thought of having one. I actually sat there staring off into space and thinking about how amazing and great it would be for my fiance and I to have a child together. I actually imagined myself holding a baby in a rocking chair while my hubby came home from work and kissed us both. And I just had this overwhelming feeling of happiness for a split second. It being a split second because I was distracted by my sister holding a plastic baby doll to her boob. The nurse (of course) was showing different breast feeding techniques. I can't imagine my sister just holding a baby to her breast for no apparent reason. Not like me earlier when I was trying to force feed the baby doll gummy fruit snacks... but anyway it was a neat experience. And it definitely confirms that I will be having an epidural when I decide to have children.


Well, that's it for my first entry.


P.S.  This is my lil buddy..
