The City Muesum

For the last 2 years, T-Dubs and I, take my Brother, his wife, and 5 boys to The City Muesum.
Pictures do not show how incredible this place is.
Think Dinesy Park on Crack. And then maybe you are close.

its hard to keep track of people so they wear matching shirts

So, in the tradition we took them again this year. We drove to St. Louis for the day and played! The outside is the coolest part i think. I also have only really climbed through this once and that was enough for me. It can be a little terrifiying! :)

Here is a great example.

This is bench that has a hole in the floor.

That a full grown man can climb into and disappear. TWO DIFFERENT WAYS!

its really just crazy stuff like that times a million.

All kinds of tree/cave climbing into the ceilings and floors.

This is a 10 story building.

I forgot to take a picture from the parking lot.
Thats really a cool way to look at it, because of the air planes and the bus on the roof!

T-Dubs is a good sport.

Silly boy!

Manic monday

FUNKY TOWN!
Day trip to St. Louis for the City Muesum to come later this week. This day trip, a surprise party on Friday night followed by a dinner thingy on sunday resulted in lots of poor eating. And 3 days of major D. (deigistive issue...dont make me type it out, just figure it out).

1. Make good food choices all week. - we will be home all week and we tend to do better.
2. Friday/Saturday no fast food. - we will be logging 800 miles on the car as we drive back to Pennsylvania, and on the way out we can plan and pack yummy food, which i have done! So we can eat well on the way there at least.
3. RUN. - i dont know why this has been harder. Last week i over worked my injuried leg and i think this is mostly mental fear. but the weather turned yesterday, FINALLY! And it is perfect for a run. so my goal tonight is to get a run in after my hair is done.
4. Survive this crazy ass week.

We leave for 'home' on Friday after work. I will drive as far as i can safely then we will crash at a hotel. then drive the rest of the way on Saturday morning. I have tons of snacks to save us from Mickey Dees, and got some Mt. Dew for caffine.

Home is going to be an entire other issue for a week. Without my gym membership at 5 am what am i to do????

Pinterest. Save me now! :) So i gotta find some non weights stuff to do. Though we plan on walking the 'swamp' on days we can, and putting up fire wood for my folks.

This vacation cannot come soon enough. i've been losing my shit at work regularlly lately due to some shitty decisions made by people who make more money than me. But, i am trying to see where this road leads. Maybe im even being pushed in the direction of another form of employment, maybe not. its so hard to know these things.

And the #1 reason today sucks ballz: our only working shower (main one is under construction) is also leaking water. Why couldnt that be covered by my home warrenty! GAH!

Sunshine thingy!

So Kristin nominated me for the Sunshine Award.
I saw this hit all the famous bloggers i follow and i have yet to see an answer to why the picture or award is not the sun... im cornfused. Midwest joke...anyone...guess not.

Here is what i like about these, i usually find cool new blogs to follow because i like checking out the nominees and i love getting interesting questions. However, I don't play by the rules :) hee hee so im just gonna answer the questions.

Plus, how cool is it that a blogger i totally dig nominated me! :) so cool! WAAA!

1. Favorite Drink: beer. always a refreshing beer.

2. Perfect week night evening? I come home and finish up anything that is 'hanging' over my head; laundry, cleaning, etc. while T-Dubs does dinner. Then we have a meal at the table (not in front of the TV, which is what we do every night!). Then i whomp his ass in cards. We end the night with a walk outside in the COOL FALL WEATHER ....that i am sadly still waiting on. then is Business Time.

3. Favorite place to take a weekend vacation. Anywhere, we love to travel! St. Louis. Camping locally. Ohio to see family. Stay over at a friends and drink locally! Hey if you arent in your own bed its a vacation right?

worlds biggest bottle of Catchup

4. TV Shows you're currently watching? Castel! LOVE HIM! Bones, HIMYM, Big Bang, New Girl, CHICAGO FIRE!! Supernatural. Greys, dont judge me, i just want them to end this show already, but i must keep watching. gah.

5. Favorite Football team (NFL)? Kristin...dont hate me.... i cant tell you who even played in the superbowl last year.

6. Got any good recipes?? YES! That the spouse makes!

7. Favorite Comedian? Why? Older Dane Cook stuff, because he was funny, he was really good live here a couple years ago. Seth Meyers, no explaination needed. Jimmy Fallon. John Stewart.

danecook that silly bisch

8. Club, bar or house? Camp ground? with a fire and awesome food, kthanks, lets go camping right meow.

things that may or may not happen

9. Drank? beer? wine? ...didn't you already ask this? BEER WENCH FOR LIFE!

10. How excited are you that I (kristin) nomiated you? (stealing this from Jacq and Chelsee)?? SO EXCITED!!! I love your blog soooo much. And if we were in the same town (or side of the country) we would get together and play Cards Against Humanity. Plus, i think you could probably teach me football. Something no one has accomplished yet!

Please go check out Brewmama and her friends awesome Fall Friend Swap exchange! Its very affordable and will be fun to do! if thats something you are into! I would totally do it, but bathroom construction presses on this month on top of two weddings! :) no extra mula! Please check it out!

So what if...

This week I am saying SO WHAT IF...

• I am losing my temper quicker and quicker at work. I have a bad feeling about that...
• I started getting serious about working out in January for a wedding that is in two weeks. I've only lost 8 lbs.
• Most days I'd prefer to come home and have a drink.
• the bathroom shower still needs to be sealed in, backer board, tiled, and grouted.
• the spare bathroom... i am pretty sure is leaking into the floor. i saw water today.
• i skipped the gym today. my leg is SUPER SORE. and i did work it out yesterday, and i have been stretching a lot since Sunday. I know i am suppose to keep working out, but post injury, i am going to err on the side of caution, i do not want to be out for 6 months again!
• i cannot wait for said wedding above because it will be a blast
• but i am a little sad a new friend here might have her bach party that night
• i could eat cheese all day long i would.

And thats what i am saying so what to today!! Hope everyone has a good one!
