Jan

Well, I would totally hate to miss my once a month posting schedule therefore, I feel compelled to post.

Something.

My old ass turned 29 this past weekend. 

My daughter has informed in a subtle way....

I need a waddlectomy.

Then I took a look at this lovely pic of my construction worker forearms...

and I was all like.... Girl, yes, that waddle is hidden in those deceiving carpool gloves. At least my bangage looked pretty good from my daily hacking.

The bags? All me, baby doll! Filter not needed here...

Oklahoma has decided to have winter in February only because it knows it my birthday month. 

 

If someone was to let their kids make snow cones from actual snow and sleet - does this mean they are eating acid rain combined with corn syrup, blue dye 63 and will this actually kill them?

Just asking for a friend.

*These are just models in a photo shoot.*

Today schools and ALL activities EXCEPT for competitive dance were cancelled due to impending snow and sleet.

When we woke up from our 13 hour nap (man, that felt FABULOUS!!) the streets were dry as a bone. 

Oklahoma really does suck ass in predicting, snow, sleet, earthquakes BUT we ARE THE BOMB on predicting tornadoes! 

I guess I'll take the later if I had to choose.

When driving home at 7pm, the 12-hour delinquent snow decided to show up.

I'm sure Boston is laughing at our stupid asses here. And! Yes! tomorrow is another snow day. Another day full of Mindcraft and desserts brought to you by Pinterest! 

EAT DONUTS!!!

YAHOO!!! Screw going to the gym! Mama is making this for lunch because, the alarm is only going to be set for my pee schedule. I'ma gonna sleep until 8:45am!

Whoo Hoo!!! Living totally crazy here in these parts.

As you can guess, I am working on my 45th wedding in five months. 

As much as I start to detest carpel tunnel, and I am pretty busy, I get so GREEN-EYED envious if I see someone else in the Oklahoma Bridal Magazine or other local sites other than me scrawling sub-par calligraphy.

Truth be told,  I'm a very lazy competitive person. I want to be the best but only if I can only half-ass try. Full-boar would be way too exhaustive.

Mainly because I am Jan in way too many situations in my life.

 

So unsuccessful but on EVERY list in town.

Lazy competitive - yep, that's me too! I'm not going to put in any effort...unless it looks like someone else might beat me out. Then there's a burst of energy until I'm back on top, where I proceed to coast.

Biscuits -> donuts? Interesting.

First, your calligraphy is beautiful....but you already know that! Second, we got that crazy ass weather here in Texas too....we had school the first day..and I had to trek out in it to pick up the kids from three different schools...AND one was enroute to the ER 45 miles away for an emergency appendectomy with the hubbster....good times. Third, I have made those donuts.....they are in fact the bomb.com. We did powdered sugar and then a chocolate glaze made from melted Nutella.... mmmm!

How do you keep the lines so straight when you are doing your calligraphy?

[Kristine]

Those donuts take me back! My sister and I used to make those when we were little. Apparently allowing small children to deep fry foods in a sauce pan unsupervised was totally acceptable in the 80's. We would throw twelve pounds of powdered sugar in a brown bag and shake the donuts in there to make them as awesome as possible. Oh my god those things were good. I might have to make those again some time, but I'm not sure I want to burn myself on the oil like I used to. Again, stellar parenting on my mom and dad's part.

Always glad to see a post from you. Just a stranger in Texas who enjoys your posts (and donuts).

"Truth be told, I'm a very lazy competitive person. I want to be the best but only if I can only half-ass try." OMG! That is so me too! *fist bump*

Wow, that calligraphy is gorgeous. I am so curious about it - how did you start? What training do you have? And like someone above said, how are your lines so straight and non-wobbly? Dang that must really take a toll on your writing hand. How about talking about that in your next monthly post??
