Product Placement Friday
So I thought on Fridays I would pimp a product or products (plural) of my choosing. Basically it’s free advertising for the companies that don’t pay me. They really should though, but I digress. Consider it a favor. I had planned to post pictures of said Pimped Products, but I’m a boob and failed to charge my camera. No pics today is what I’m saying. Sorry.
1- Biore Face products: I highly recommend either Biore 4 in 1 foam wash OR the Nourishing Gel Cleanser. I use both. The foam wash is in my shower and I keep the gel wash sink side. I follow both with the Triple Action Astringent and moisturize with Nourish Moisture Lotion SPF 15. I use it EVERY.DAY.YO. You guys, this stuff ROCKS. So much so, that I have considered swimming naked in it just to see what its amazingness does to the rest of me. Yes, really.
2- Givenchy Hot Couture perfume: This stuff is so awesome that words actually fail me. I literally couldn’t think of anything good enough to describe this fragrance so I five finger discounted it off Sephora’s website. I’m just that way. Listen to their description of said product: “Like Haute Couture fashion, Hot Couture is a glamorous yet sophisticated fragrance. Through sensuality and warmth Hot Couture creates an elegance that can only be equated with couture runway fashion. Sweet raspberry nectar, magnolia, and ambered vetiver combine to bewitch us with vibrant, confident, and passionate femininity.”-Sephora.com
I mean, COME ON. Who DOESN’T want to smell like “couture runway fashion”? Really, how could you not try it?
Have I sold you on either product yet? Drop me a line and let me know
************************************************************************
When I originally started this, I’d planned on listing 10 things about myself for 10 days and then we’d take it from there. But THEN I thought I’d pimp out products on Fridays, just to shake things up a bit because I do like a good walk on the wild side. And NOW I think I am just a pure webtastic genius, confined to a Victoria’s Angel body. What?! It is cyber space- I can look like what ever I want. Don’t judge me. I’ll try to post pictures when I can, but really, I just don’t take that many. Anyway, I’m only gonna list 5 things about me today. I don’t want to reveal too much too fast. I am not a blog whore.
21- I love the fact that MP wears the pants in our family, but he also allows me to don capri’s when necessary
22- I love to read. Yea, I do. Sorry, there’s nothing funny here.
23- I think Jackie Chan is amazing and I could watch his movies on repeat until I died.
24- I’m convinced my daughter has a yet-to-be-diagnosed case of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. She has to. There is no other way to explain a child being that particular about everything. I promise you that whatever you think is bad, she is a million times worse. IE: Milk has to be placed opposite her breakfast plate at breakfast, but must NEVER be offered directly to her. You can only go around one side of the island in the kitchen when en route to her bedroom. If you go around the “wrong” side, she will scream and cry and flail and puke green peas until you go back around the “correct” way. She can only wear dresses that “work”. If she spins and the dress doesn’t flare, it doesn’t “work” and she can’t wear it, etc. Welcome to my world.
25- I call my husband “Puckett”. I think that “Puckett” is the coolest last name in the world rivaled only by “Beckham”, well, for obvious reasons. My son’s name is Beckham Swaid Puckett. He’s practically got “superstar” stamped on his forehead.

Facebook Status Updates:
Christy Hill Puckett
BB: What's that, mommy?
ME: turquoise
BB: turkeeyz?
ME: yes, do you like it?
BB: (at this point, she literally shrugged and with a voice full of indifference says...) oh, well I have diamonds inside...

Second Date
6/25/09
Since this is day 2 of my “new” blog, I thought I’d treat it like a second date. You know, barely comfortable, yet totally awkward at the same time? I’ll tell you a few more interesting facts about myself and let you bask in all things Christy for a while. I’ll order a salad with dressing on the side, when I really want steak. I’ll drink water when I prefer Diet Coke, and I’ll pass up dessert even thought I so totally want it. After all, I want you to like me. We’ll talk of the weather and I will laugh at your jokes even if I don’t entirely get them. I’m not quite ready to really open up and be myself, but not so uncomfortable that I can’t speak at all. Basically, what I am saying is that our relationship? It’ll be superficial at best, but we’ll get there. In the meantime, I’ll leave you wanting more.
11. The number “11” is totally my number. Yea, that’s right. It’s mine. I don’t say it’s lucky because it’s not. Duh, it’s just a number. But it’s just that I only seem to look at clocks when they read 11:11. AM or PM, makes no difference. It’s cool and if I HAD a lucky number, 11 would be it.
12. I am not crazy about the water. Never have been and probably never will be, much to the dismay of my husband who, I would swear, has gills.
13. I have an unhealthy obsession with Steven Tyler. It’s true. Ask my husband. I don’t care if Dude, DOES look like a lady… ROWR!
14. I hate oranges. The fruit, not the color.
15. I love pink. The color, not the artist.
16. I do not like to talk on the phone, yet I do it ALL.DAY.LONG. This may be why I hate it so much. I guess if you paid me to do it at home, it’d be cool. However, if you DID pay me to talk on the phone in the privacy of my home, it would totally sound like I ran a 1-900 number hotline. So, I probably shouldn’t suggest that again. Ever.
17. I have had a real life stalker before.
18. I don’t get the “little-dog-culture”. Why would you even want to put a dog in your purse?
19. I hate whistling. It’s a noise that should only be used when A) in the prevention of eminent danger or B) Jack Bauer needs to shake down a terrorist in order to find the bomb and his only leverage? Is the WHISTLING. I know I would sell out my momma to make it stop.
20. I need comments to feel good about myself. I kid, but seriously help a sista out. COMMENT!
That's all you'll get out of me this go round. I'll let you pick up the tab and next time you may even get to second base. And on that note, Imma bounce. PEACE!

A Formal Introduction
Ok, so technically this isn’t a “new” blog, per se, BUT I will be writing in it now so that’s cool, right?
Since I posted this address on Facebook in the hopes of getting people to check me out, I thought I’d give a little history about myself to those of you that don’t know me very well.
I am a happily married, full-time working mother of 2 and I love to write. Most of the time, I am just flat-out goofy. I am that person that hides behind humor. I am very guarded and while I can be serious, it’s very rare that I am because I don’t like to open myself up to people. I’m working on that though. I love the Lord and am thankful for the situations he walked me though. I like the person I have become. Some of you know my testimony and you get me. Some of you don’t and probably won’t, but don’t take it personal, I still like you! I am just quiet that way. Anyway- here are some fun facts:
1- U Silly Pickle- this is a nickname for my children. Yes, they are silly, no they are not pickles.
2- I will never use the following words: “hubby”, “hubs”, “yummy”, or “preggars” and will limit my use of “prego” only to refer to spaghetti sauce. Please do not ask me why I hate these words. I just do.
3- I will; however, use words that don’t make any sense. Vomitacious, Starvacious, Impressable. You know, pretty much add an awkward sounding suffix to most any word and I’ll probably use it. Definitions are optional.
4- I do not understand the phenomenon that is “American Idol.”
5- I am obsessed with all things Facebook, but will never ask you to join my mafia.
6- UFC is the most awesome sport ever. That is a statement, not a debate.
7- I’ve never struck a match. What?! I am not a Flintstone.
8- I did not know you could put outgoing mail in your home mailbox and that by lifting the flag, this signaled the mailman to pick it up and take to the post office for you until I was 22.years.old.
9- I am very serious about #8. That’s how I roll.
10- Most importantly, I love the Lord. I love my husband. I love my children. I love my friends. In that order.
Do you feel like you know me now? Because you totally should. In the future, you should know that I will talk a LOT about my children because I am a mom and will probably mention weight loss because, well, I am a woman and that is what we do. I will say stuff that will catch you off guard like say, BOOB.SWEAT. Are you uncomfortable now? What about you? That guy in the back? OK, we’re all good then. You should also know that I type EXACTLY how I speak, so when you read this, you should do so with a Valley-girl meets Southern Belle accident. Now throw out some “yo’s” and “homey’s”. Because I am part gangsta too. Consider my essence captured.

Brief Synopsis of The Puckett Family Chaos
Wow. So much has happened lately. We have all been battling one illness after another since October 1st and I am not even kidding about the date. Seriously, it’s been tough. Both kids had RSV for about 10 days – at different times of course. Once they recovered, they both got bronchitis the VERY.NEXT.WEEK. Thank goodness for my MIL. She practically lived with us for 3 weeks! Once both Brogan and Swaid were well enough to go back to school, guess what? I’ll take “Pneumonia” for $500, Alex. Yea. So I had apparently contracted something from one of my carrier monkeys that developed into pneumonia. I’m still waiting on the chest xray bill. It was great.
Also, it just came to my attention that I have not even written a blog about Beck aka “Big Swaid” in a really long time. He’s 3 months old now and is quite large. +95% in both length and weight. He outgrew newborn in 1 week and outgrew 0-3 month clothes 2 months ago. He is now sporting 3-6 month clothing and a whopping size 3 diaper. He hasn’t been weighed in about a month, but he was over 14 lbs then. If the scale doesn’t say he’s AT LEAST 16 lbs by now, then that scale would be wrong because he is big, yo! He is so stinkin’ sweet. He’s also a good eater (6-8 oz 5 or 6 times a day), GREAT sleeper (7pm – 7am, plus naps during the day) and can burp louder than most adult men (breaks the sound barrier). I’m so proud.
Oh, and I turned 30 a few weeks ago and feel surprisingly unaffected by it. I’d heard horror stories like how your metabolism quits working and your boobies run away and hide behind your knees, but tis not true, my friends. Not true at all! I feel great!
Thanksgiving was wonderful! I hope you all had a great time. We ate an embarrassing amount of food, but we gave thanks for it so it makes our gluttony totally ok. :)

I’ll post pics when I can figure out how to get them converted to jpg format after emailing them to myself from my phone. Suggestions?

A few of Brogan's favorite things
Favorite thing numero uno: blanket. Numero dos: chocolate "choppy" milk. She cannot function without them.
My first pigtails! Seriously, could you just eat her up?! She sported this lovely ensemble (courtesy of Aunt Na and Uncle Matt) to a Braves game a few months ago. MP's office had "family night" at the game and Bee had a blast! I should also point out that she only wears dresses PERIOD! She will not even entertain the idea of wearing pants aka "devil sleeves" on her delicate legs. It's dresses or nothing. But not just any dress...it has to flair out when she twirls. I'm not even kidding. Every morning we have the same routine. We put on a dress and she spins around, saying "ta da!". If the dress doesn't flair, she proclaims, "It's not WORKING!" and promptly removes said dress. We then put on another dress, lather, rinse, repeat. Yes, I am very serious. Oh and as far as shoes go, just save yourself the trouble and let her pick out a pair. So what if she wants to wear a sundress and CROC rainboots (see Museum pics)?! - Just go with it. It's not worth it.
Yea, I wear my sunglasses at night! Who doesn't?! She loves her some sunglasses. She doesn't even care who they actually belong to. She asks to sleep in them sometimes.
Bee LOVES her stuffed animals....all of them. She doesn't have a favorite- she's an equal opportunity stuffed animal lover! She decided all her "babies" needed to watch Mickey Mouse (another favorite) with her. We don't question her....Another favorite thing? Swaid's feet. She always ALWAYS wants to see them and touch them. Every day she asks to see his "peet". Once she sees them and touches them, she's good. I don't know why - she just does. It's precious though!

Museum of Natural Science
So, we took Brogan and Swaid to the science museum last weekend. Bee had the best time ever and loved everything about it, except for the dinosaurs. She was convinced they were going to "bite her". Swaid didn't really care about anything... :) Can you tell Bee dressed herself?
So, I've been asked a million times how Bee is adjusting to having Swaid around. Answer: She LOVES him....now. The day she met him she stepped in and swung at him. Serious gangsta style, closed fist punch. Fortunately, my MIL was holding him and managed to move him just in time. Bee ended up hitting my MIL instead. After that, she grabbed the cart he was wheeled in on and proceeded to ram it against the side of my hospital bed. At one point, she got it wedged between the chair my MIL was sitting in and the bed I was in, so then she just decided to kick it and punch it about a million times. All we could do was just watch and let her get it out of her system. After that, she was better. She ignored him for the rest of the night and she would ignore you if you were holding him. The next day we gave her jelly beans and said they were a gift from Swaid. She's loved him ever since! :)

Random Things
I know- I've been a major slacker lately here in the blogging dept. There was been so much going on that I just don't even know where to start, so I'll just get random with it:
1- Brogan is starting to potty to train, which excites me beyond belief! Plus, her mad language skillz continue to astonish us each day. She is so stinkin' smart! She is 26 months old and counts to 11, says her ABC's, knows a good number of her colors and can recognize basics shapes (heart, star, square, circle and most recently, triangle). She loves to read and to sing and she says her blessing before her meals all by herself now: It goes like this:
God, gweat
God, good
dank you food
AMEN!!!
2- I joined a new Bunko group last month and I just realized that we'll meet again in 2 weeks! I very much enjoy meeting new people and hope to develop some close friendships.
3- Swaid is due in approx t-4 weeks and we're way excited! During my maternity leave from work, I'm hoping to be able to attend a few playdates with my newfound friend, Jamye M. :)
4- My sweet co-workers are throwing a baby shower here at work today for me and our receptionist, Crystal. We're almost 11 weeks apart (me being in the lead, of course!). I'm hoping to post pictures later, but really can't make any promises! :)
5- I have the very best husband in the whole wide world! He has been so good to me and so good with taking care of Brogan, cleaning the house, helping with laundry, cooking, etc - you name it and he's hands-on about it! I know these next 4'ish weeks aren't going to be easy, but he's just been wonderful about it and I am so, so appreciative and thankful for him!

Girls Beach Trip!
Kim Sims & Amy Parkes - two of my V/B/F/F!!!
Standing: me, Amy ParkesSitting: Missy McMinn, Laurie Sledge and Jamie Ozier - I LOVE THEM GIRLS!!!!
The "G-Unit", that's just how we roll......
The above pic was taken by our (very rude) waitress....the G-Unit knows what I'm talking about....This is everyone, but Ronnie H. We missed you Ronnie!
Yea, so we actually went more than a month ago. I'm just REALLY slow at getting it posted! :)
Back in April, our small group girls (well, all but you RONNIE! haha), also known as "The G-Unit" spent the weekend at the Oziers' beach house and it was fantabulous! OK, so the trip itself was awesome, what we missed here? Not so much. It was the weekend that all the tornadoes came through Brandon/Ridgeland area. We didn't even know there was bad weather until we were about 45 minutes from the beach! We panicked then, but it was too late to turn around so we kept on truckin'. Once we got to the house and confirmed with our husbands that A) our children were ok and B) our houses were still standing, we decided to get an early start on some fried seafood! We ate and shopped all weekend....then we had a makeshift Church Service on the beach Sunday AM. It was awesome! We talked about what the Lord was doing in our lives and before we knew it, we were singing praise and worship music to tons of tourists on the beach! It was so much fun that I actually considered asking Chip to look into a Pinelake Orange Beach Campus..... I'm pretty sure we would NEVER miss a Sunday :)

Random Brogan pics
This is how we found Brogan in bed the other day. She had apparently woken up, put her tennis shoes on (the wrong feet, sans socks) and gone back to sleep!
Someone wanted to "tee-tee inna potty, mommy!" Only she never did. She just likes to sit on it!
Who is a Princess?! I bought this skirt at Mistletoe last year and forgot about it! Brogan saw it hanging in the hall closet and wanted to wear it. It took me FOREVER to get her out of that thing... she wanted to sleep in it! Where did the time go? Our little girl will be 2 on May 2! This cannot be! I want my baby back!!!! :)
