Bens-day

So, I am not seeing my kid much right now. It's musical week, so that's pretty normal. But, that means no Bens-day picture, because I didn't see him that day!

Jam

Jam is the title of Kim Kardashian's single that dropped this past Spring. What, you missed it? That's embarrassing for you! In it's first five days, it sold 14,000 downloads according to SoundScan. True, that's not enough to enable a spot on the top 75 digital download chart, but there are alot of songs that missed that mark in their first week. Beyonce for example, (if we are going with similarly endowed, ethnic types) had her worst selling single to date this year, selling just 310,000 copies it's first week. So maybe consumers just aren't ready for all that jelly. Or Jam.


I bring this up because today in class, I had a girl compare another girl's singing ability to that of Ms. K. I mean, how could you not be flattered by comparison to the top selling, female, celebrity, heiress, over 25, under 30, for the week of March 3, 2011?!

Love this...So true!

Fix You

What if all my blog posts from now on were song titles? Impossible you say? Challenge accepted!

Today at lunch I referenced putting spinach on my sandwich to combat my continuing fatness. Josh said, "OK, you're not fat! Not even remotely approaching obese!!" To which I said thank you, but my pants don't fit.

However, I will say, having someone validate your size is a pretty powerful thing! I feel better already! :)

Manic Monday

It's been weird not having my picture taken everyday, so Nat and I decided we will just try to do it once a week.

This is a new shirt from Loft and I love it! My face is kinda tired though...Ah. Tis Monday!

Get ready for some Fashion Fabulosity later this week though. I will post my Musical performance ensembles cause they are usually AMAZING!

Haircut!

Not for me mind you, for Ben! :)

Time for Fall

Probably the biggest change when moving from Nebraska to Texas has been the weather. We just don't have the seasons the same way as the North does. For example, all my friends in the Midwest have been in Fall clothes for a while now, whereas I have yet to bust out a jacket!

So, in thinking about Fall, I also remember that we need to get some fall Ben pics. We usually have Tim set up the full studio in the living room this time of year and do some Ben pictures.

In that spirit, here are some of Ben's spring pictures!
