Lose to Win Challenge

So! It dawned on me that I never did update my blogpals on the results for the 'Lose to Win' challenge. And, there's probably an hidden, underlying reason why. I'm not saying I intentionally kept this from all of you because I didn't win. What I'm saying is, I may have unintentionally not mentioned it.lol.

Anyway, if any of you have seen my booty lately you'll know that I SO did not win. (insert *sigh* here). I *gulp* didn't even make the top five....yes, I'm lowering my head in shame!

On a positive note, we have been MORE than dedicated to going to the gym in the mornings for 6a.m. On top of that, I have more energy and I feel better so really, to me, I won...in some way. Although, it's a damn shame I didn't come in 1st or 2nd as there were some BIG BUCKS involved. Well, from the sounds of it, there will be a next time. Until then I'm just going to keep at it and prevail in the end...I hope.

CHEERS!

Two years in the making....

Wow, I can't believe it's been two years! Two years since the first time Keith and I met in person!!! It was a good night...a handsome man shows up at my door with a rose for me. He looked even BETTER than he did in the pics (which usually wasn't the case). His nice smile and his voice (OMG! his voice...) won me over instantly. ROAR! lol. I didn't put these pictures in order but I've just posted random shots of us in the last two years. There's like hundreds more but I had to restrain myself as I know that people don't want to spend their entire Saturday looking at us.lol. Although, I can't see why not.....hehe.

We certainly are cute but after looking at all these pics, I've realized something else....we're WEIRD too. And as you can tell, we're a-okay with that.lol.

Cheers to us my SWB and thanks for all that you are! I love you and look forward to many, many, many more years together. <3

Why men REALLY shouldn't clean....

Maybe men shouldn't necessarily clean the house because you may get phone calls or emails at work such as this:

'Hmmmm I wonder if mouse pads can be wash-safe and can be washed in the laundry with towels....'

And YES, it was Keith that emailed that thought of his to me. LMAO! I had tears puddling up from reading that. Wow, he's a KEEPER! Hey, at least he's cleaning...right?!
Maaaayyyyybe I should head home to make sure he didn't try giving Marley a bath in the washing machine too! BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

To Keith: To many more years of making me giggle. CHEERS and I love you! <3

Twin-tastic!

Recently one of my bff's asked if I could come watch her twin boys while she attended her daughter's dance recital. I said 'sure thing' and even managed to get Keith to join me in the fun!!!

While playing, it was interesting (and amusing) watching the boys switch between laughing as they chased the ball to crying bloody murder because one or the other wasn't getting enough 'ball time'. This is how it all played out after the twins finished eating supper. :)

Once the boys expended some of their energy, they were given the option of going for a walk or reading some books and low and behold, look who got all the cuddle time??? Certainly not cuddly, hug-able, kiss-able and lovable auntie Kim (not that I'm bitter or anything)!!!

That's B saying 'OOOHHH OOOHHH' after he nearly took out my toes with his dump truck. You can even see that I managed to capture my toes in the photo. My intention was to get a picture while he was coming towards me with the truck. Just goes to show you how delayed my camera is. And yes, that is Keith getting all the cuddle time in the pictures. I only got my cuddle time with them when they were upset, otherwise, they were all over Keith. That's right, he's a dad in the making and just doesn't know it yet.lol. He can consider this training time.lol.

But all jokes aside, we really enjoyed our time with the boys. I found it interesting just listening to them and watching them interact with us and with one another. Mostly, I'll admit, my favorite part was watching them with Keith and how great he was with them. Thanks my SWB for helping me out!

Also, I have to just send a shout out to my bff D here as I find all that her and her husband do every day absolutely amazing. They both work full time and then come home to three children, two of which, are twins (if you hadn't noticed).lol. Now, to someone that doesn't have twins, they might not think much of it. But after one night, ONE NIGHT, and after putting the boys to bed, this was the end result:

If you want to read more about the boys and their adventures along with D, R and their daughter E, head to the link below. D has a super awesome blog because her and her family truly are TEAM SUPER AWESOME!

Mystery: Solved!

After a good solid 4 days of searching for Keith's keys, low and behold:

Remember how I said we looked under and over everything? Well, when I looked behind the door of our bedroom, I looked on the floor. However, I did not think to look in the bag hanging on the door. Although, even I must admit, they're pretty obvious! UH DUH Kim! Meh, what can you do?! lol.

CASE CLOSED!!!

The lost keys....le sigh....

Keith, has lost his keys, possibly permanently. :(

We have looked high and low, north, south, east and west and still we have found nothing. No cushion has gone unturned, no bed or bookshelf has not been looked under, over or through. This doesn't mean they're not here, somewhere, hiding in our condo, secretly laughing at us. I can just hear them jingling and thinking 'OHMYGAWD she's on her knees again looking for us. It will be hysterical when they replace all of us and we decide to come out of hiding from in the fridge crisper'?!

Really, we all know that this isn't possible but it's the way I'm feeling. Keith has decided that someone has come and taken them as part of a cruel joke. My argument with that is: if someone had our keys, I'm pretty sure our truck would be gone by now. lol.

In an attempt to find them, I looked under the seats in the truck only to get injured on both arms. A scratch on one arm and a bruise to match on the other.



But don't worry about me, I'll be just fine.lol.

In an attempt to get out of Keith's way while he had another 'search and (no) rescue' party, I decided to go on the balcony to clean the bbq. All I can say about the whole experience is YUCK! Who knew it could get sssssoooo nasty in a bbq? Certainly not me! The pics don't really reflect how gross it was but it was bad....by my standards. I guess it's safe to say that I have high standards.lol

The above picture isn't the best shot as I was having a hard time taking the picture with all that gunk over my hands. It wasn't until after I dumped the bag I realized that maybe I should have taken the photo AFTER I washed my hands and arms....

Do we know how to have fun or WHAT?! lol.
