facelifts and tummy tucks

i've been "trying on" new looks for my blog today..but i think i'm in need of some real help! it still just doesn't 'feel' right! 

so let me know what you think so far...and feel free to leave me any comments/suggestions on what would make it better! anyone know any good, free header designers??  i'd love to add pictures to my header! 

in other news...i'm still dieting with Let's Lose! at my last weigh in i was up to 21 lbs/ 24.25 inches lost!! i am still daily amazed at how much i have really lost, especially when i try on pants that haven't fit in 2 years and they are too big!!! Heck Yes!!

...keeping it in perspective, i still need to lose about 40ish more lbs. but hey! i have lost 21 lbs!! that is FABULOUS!

of course, having a baby completely changes your body. duh! 

i just didn't realize how much it would change it.

my thighs will never be the same. thunder thighs does not begin to cover it. my tummy sags in ways i never knew it could {cesarian scars are just not pretty! i'm gonna ask my ob to do a tummy tuck after the next baby!} my boobs...oh heck, i'm just gonna say it. a few months ago jamie called them "swahili woman boobs." don't pretend you don't know what i'm talking about! but ladies, there is life after breastfeeding! they will shrink back down to normal proportions! stretch marks, varicose veins...these are the reasons i will not be wearing a bikini to the beach this year! 

it is perfectly respectable to wear a swim skirt to the beach! 

come on ya'll show me some love!! ;)

11 days left til our vacation to the Outerbanks, N.C. and Washington D.C.!! i can't wait!! 

were you on the radio?

**for those of you who know pioneer woman, look out! she's got a surprise coming soon!! make sure you are checking her site daily for news of the big secret!! :) i swear upon all things blog worthy that i will not utter another word about this...so don't ask!!! :)  (that sounded mean, sorry!)**

tonight i have been exploring the blogging world a little more deeply! i found a blog, through another blog, that took me to another blog...hahaha!! long story short, i ended up here and was immediately sucked in! 

so i've been having fun for the last hour, just looking at other gal's blogs and dreaming of how mine could be better...but here's the deal...i don't know what to do! i'm not crafty, so out goes the Etsy world...i don't have super cool connections for giveaways, and my stories are almost always about my little boy...all in all, i'm kinda boring! sorry to disappoint you! 

i do have a funny story to share with ya'll though...

do you know about Air 1?? it's the positive alternative! christian alternative music that is...and they ROCK! i've been a listener since my highschool and have always been a fan of the morning show. 

little known fact about me: i love to be on the radio. i love to talk to the dj's (my parent's were dj's for their own business The Great American Road Show). i love to call in and request a song or put in my two cents on their discussion. this brings great joy to my life and has ever since i got a cell phone :) 

today was no exception. i was listening early this morning, while i drove to my dr's appointment, and the dj was talking about his recent trip to the dentist...so of course i had to chime in on this!!  so i called and we chatted for a while.

about 20 minutes after my little snipet aired, "yes, that little scrapy thing they use on your teeth is a scaler! and the yucky stuff that it removes is calculus!" my hubby called...

*jamie: "were you on the radio just a few minutes ago"

*kacee: "oh yeah, i called in to air 1 to talk about the dental office...scott didn't know what a scaler was, so i had to explain some stuff to him"

*jamie: "scott (jamie's coworker) just called me and said, 'dude, this girl just called into air 1 and was talking about all this dental hygiene stuff, and she sounded just like your wife..it had to be your wife!!!' so that was you?

*kacee: "yup!! you know me! i love to be on the radio"

*jamie: "you're a nerd."

go check out my facebook when you get a chance. i'm loading a super cute new video of noah. he learned how to "high 5" :) it's adorable!!! 

and in other news, he is teething something awful! both maxillary lateral incisors (top 2 on each side of the front teeth) have broken through the gums, but he is still in a lot of pain. he is chewing on his poor little fingers constantly! :(
