When your husband goes out of town..

You call your mom and have a weekend long sleepover! Omgah, hanging with your mom who will take care of you when you are uber pregs= heaven. She drove me around to run all my errands, stopped at the donut shop for me, not once, but twice. Chaffeuring at this stage of pregnancy is highly appreciated.

You make it through buy buy baby and babies r' us trips to return items and check out new items. Sidenote: I can't get my pinks to match and its driving me bananas. End sidenote.

You have a successful trip to ikea, even if only for few nursery knick knacks. EVEN despite the masses of people. One look at this line and my husband would have said: "I'm out. Buy this crap online." 

You also get to eat healthy. With the exception of the donuts, I was in serious eat high protein, low fat and lots of veggies mode. Somewhere in my third trimester, I turned into a junk food monster - at the delight of my husband. I was ready to get a hold of myself, and my mommy helped me with just that. Especially since she's all gluten - free and stuff! 

And you make it to the pool for a bare bump tan with some great support! No picture here. #notbraveenough 

And my favorite part of the weekend? I erased my Instagram app and hardly touched my phone to look at social media. Now that, is a cleanse my friends! Try it. You won't regret it. 

Happy Monday peeps.  

Things that puzzle me

 

This weekend was good. I ate like a horse. Seriously. We hosted a bridal shower for my bestie Lynette, and I couldn’t stop eating. It kind of came out of left field, and while I hope my food aversion continues to lessen, I also hope that I can learn to control myself. Haha. We made a quick trip out to Galveston on Sunday, which was really nice. It was actually sunny, and we had lunch at the country club where were had our wedding reception. It was kind of sentimental to walk into the place with a bump. I told our wedding coordinator “I’m pregnant!” and he replied “I see that!” LOL. But enough about the weekend.

Onto…. things that puzzle pregnant Tess. I will add one disclaimer, I usually don’t write these kinds of posts... but apparently I'm more vocal as a pregnant person. Or I just have more time to watch the news ;)

First off - Where in the heck is this plane??? I don’t know why I’ve been so intrigued and binging on this news story. But seriously?? Where are they? What happened?? I’ve exhausted every scenario from they disappeared into a black hole LOST style, to terrorist high jacking, to pilot suicide. It’s just insane, and sad, and I hope those families can get any kind of resolution soon.

How on earth is ScarJO 5 month preggers?? I read a headline, “ScarJO shows off baby bump” and I’m like what bump??? All I see are boobs. I mean go ScarJO, she's super hot, but yea I’m a month behind you and look way more pregnant LOL.

Why is Lady Gaga so weird? Her latest antics at SXSW are really just enough for me. In case you missed it, mid-song she called an ‘artist’ up to the stage to puke lime green stuff on her. While she rode a mechanic bull? Huh? So disgusting. I think I’m officially banishing lady Gaga from Tessy World from now on. Not that she would care. I can't even a post a picture of this. It's that horrid.

I really like her music, but why does Miley Cyrus not brush her tongue? If it’s going to be front and center for your whole get up, persona, whatever - then keep the thing clean! and no I did not seek this picture out, nor do I really follow her. I'm constantly bombarded with this nastiness whilescrollin' my twitta feed!

I'm done being puzzled :)

Happy Monday Ya’ll.

Let's be friends on Snap Chat!

So really quick, I am kind of obsessed with Snap Chat at the moment. It's an app that just makes life a little more fun!

 

If you've never heard of snap chat, you basically send pictures and videos that erase after your friend views them.  My friend and I were sending weight loss 'progress' pictures, and always texting "If you share this, I will kill you" or "delete asap." But now that we have snap chat, no need to worry!! So send away, embarassing photos, funny videos, the possibilities are endless!

 

Of course Kristen said "oh you think they erase them." in which I countered, "since we aren't celebrities, no one will hack our accounts and I think we'll be ok!"

 

Go download the app now! My username is Tessytessio, come find me ya'll!

Random thoughts about Fashion Bloggers

I would link up with inspire me healthy today, but that would be a horrendous truth stretch (aka lie) to say anything healthy has been going down around these parts. I decided that until I get settled into one area, am not living out of a suitcase, have my own kitchen and frig again, that I will just hold off on all health plans.

These all sound like excuses. That's because they are :).
And really, I'm kind of ok with it. Still fat, but happy :). Ok not fat, but a tad unhealthy. I did try this 'cleanse' yesterday so I will let you know how that goes.

OK moving on. What I want to talk about today is fashion bloggers (FB's). And not an occasional outfit post here and there, intense fashion bloggers. It's NYFW so naturally FB's have piqued my interest. I'm all about flavor of the week over here, and this week media is clearly focused on fashion. So I've cruising the WWW on fashion blogger street.

Ok get to the point. My point is, err, question is: why do people hate on them so much? I mean I get that they stare at the floor a lot, and they always look abnormally perfect. Kinda like this:

But really, being photographed in random stance? Then posting it to the WWW? That's seems really hard. I'm so shy I could probably never be a FB. I'd be a terrible fashion blogger.

Sooo. I think what I'm saying here is, Fashion Bloggers's: I really like you.  You have some guts and in turn I you've def earned my respect. (I mean who am I? but at least I won't contribute to shamepuff, a horrid site all about hating on FB's). I myself am not a fashion blogger, so of course my fave reads will always be more personal in nature, but I still enjoy looking at and reading a FB here and there. And people who hate FB's? Well really that's just not nice. Don't hate, appreciate. Then congratulate. The end.

And thats my randomsauce for the day!

Random thoughts

Ello Loves! I have some really random thoughts today so please bear with me.

First off, if you signed up for the julep box, super cool! Can’t wait to see everyone's boxes and get the lowdown on this brand new Julep polish. I heard it is creamy, but not streaky. Which would mean its an improved Essie? Essie is creamy, but very very streaky.

Anywhoo, if you missed out and have no idea what I’m talking about – check here! You will not be disappointed!

Now, our weekend was filled with some exciting stuff. Like opening a joint checking account, shopping for appliances, furniture, and cleaning most of the weekend. I know, just riveting right??? You're yawning already, I can tell.

Here's hubby at Sears:

Everytime we start shopping I just start singing “I don’t wanna grow up, I’m a toys r’ us kid…” LOL. And Matt says, “Tell me how you really feel, babe.”  

Moving right along.

We finally got over to my mother-in-laws to check our mail – and it was a very good mail weekend.

Exhibit A – our marriage license! I got super excited about this! Now to start all the name changing paperwork!

Exhibit B - Tara sent me these goodies in the mail. I told her I was on nail polish buying hiatus, because this whole married life budget thing and she sent me this. How sweet of her! :)

and.. a Sunday AM Realization - this is as healthy as it gets in our household, and it needs to change immediately. Before my ass gets as big as Texas, the state I live in! No freaking joke. But not til after the holiday of course..

Happy Early Birthday USA! I'll be heading to Emily's for some lake time!

Peace out and happy Mondat!
