Favorite Stuff Friday!

Welcome to this week's edition of Favorite Stuff Friday, where I explain to you why I've neglected my blog, tell you I'm pregnant {April Fools, but you'd believe it because - hello, I have four children, so naturally an announcement has to come soon, right?} just like everyone else, and maybe slip in an Unfavorite gripe as I share some of the things I've fallen in love with this week!

{I promise, I'm not pregnant. Why is that THE joke of the day?}

Earlier this week my Mother In Law made her way to the East Coast, and requested some time with the boys, leaving Christian and I with some time to kill. Alone.

We looked at each other stupidly for a while, without the kids we're shells of boringness, and then decided to eat lunch at our favorite, super seekrit spot, for probably the last time. I was intrigued by the new menu item; black bean bisque, and I tell you it was de.licious.

Starbucks has dangled in front of us, the one thing frazzled and overworked moms {and other less important humans} have only begged for since the dawn of Starbucks' time. DELIVERY! Alas, the jerks have made a wonderful April Fools joke out of our collective lament. 

Though, after having a puppy delivered to me, I don't understand why Starbucks doesn't offer delivery Get with it guys!

Red Tricycle got in on the April Fools Day "fun" as well with their Ugly Baby Contest.

{Part of the million reasons why I love Seattle, despite my hatred for April Fools Day.}

Happy Birthday, Badtz Maru! Squee!

Blogger Body Calendar is back for 2012 with a host of new bloggers, and this year their charity is going to be Violence UnSilenced. Which I think is a perfect pair up. I don't ever talk about the time I was sexually assaulted, or the time I had to beat a dude off of me when he threatened to punch me, or the stupid things I did to myself, the dangerous situations I put myself in...

I'm so grateful the events weren't as traumatic as they could have been that I don't feel a need to discuss them. But others have been in far scarier, life threatening, horrendous situations and Violence UnSilenced has made sure their stories have been heard. Guts, man. Guts. <3

Though again, there is the usual little/no diversity. Which is sort of the reason I've been off site; I asked a question and got a douchebag response and I've been working on a cohesive {I'm not even concerned with poignant} entry since.

The next time I have $400 lying around {snort}, I'm getting this mirror. I like myself, my man and my dishes tatted up {why in the world am I just learning about this?}, and speaking of tattoos, I want to share one of Christian's and my favorite tattoo magazines, for any enthusiasts out there; Bound By Ink. While I think I've made it obvious that I reserve very few feelings besides "Ugh" for animals, I feel a swelling in my heart for these disgustingly adorable puppies. If Christian would ever allow {warning, crappy autoplay on this blog!} this, I'd marry him hard! I DESIRE! Wusthof needs this case, like right now, and these definitely need to join us in our kitchen exploits, and by "us" I mean my husband. <3

I'll share a Minion favorite too, the boys {including Severus} all love this song.

This song makes me want to dance. I really like Keri Hilson, despite how blatantly superficial this song is.

Someone put a lot of time into this video, but it's really the song I love. {Don't judge me.}
