I Hate.....

  • Men that are crappy husbands.
  • Crappy fathers.
  • Men that think they're a great father, but really they were only the sperm donor.
  • Helicopter moms.
  • Kids that do NOT follow directions.
  • People that are fat and blame it on being pregnant.
  • When you exchange an item to the store for the exact same item because the first one was defective and they want you to pay more for it because there is no longer a sale.
  • Annoying little dogs that yip all the time. (I'm a big dog kinda gal)
  • Cats. Not only am I allergic to them, but I find them very annoying and moody!
  • Having a zit on my face when it's picture day, or something else equally important.
  • Pants that don't fit because they're too short. I'm tall, but seriously, is it that difficult to find long pants that I love?
  • When I miss a show and realize my DVR didn't record it.
  • Denzel (the previous owner of my telephone number). Dude, you have crappy credit and I'm sick of telling all the creditors that call that this is no longer your number. Oh, and I think it might be important to tell your own mother another way she can contact you if you no longer have this number!
  • Solicitors that apparently can't read the "No Soliciting" sign on my door.
  • Finding a piece of lint on the floor and thinking it's a spider.
  • Hard water.
  • Going to the grocery store and finding they are out of what you went there for in the first place.
  • Finding the perfect shirt and then realizing they're out of your size.
  • Veins in chicken.

Flat Irons


I've been researching a ton about flat irons. I used to have the delusion that they were only for really long, curly hair that you wanted to straighten. I have since found out about using them with short and straight hair. I learned how to use them to straighten, bend, curl, flip, etc. So many uses for such a fun hair tool. Look here to see the Chi I like for such a great price. With the new hair style I'm wanting I think it'd be fun and different to try not only using a round brush when I dry it, but also making it smooth with a little bend using a flat iron. I am loving the folica.com website. They have so many products on great sales, with free shipping, free pouches, etc. The reviews by customers can be quite addicting to read and find out more about what people think and the hair tools they love and hate. Thanks to all the great friends that have helped me in sharing what they use, what they love, and how everything works.

Sale! Sale! Sale!


I love Bath and Body Works and I love when they have their fabulous sales. Right now they have a buy 3 get 3 free sale, where you can find some great scents! Some of my current favorites that I had to stock up on were Japanese Cherry Blossom, White Citrus, and the all time classic Warm Vanilla Sugar. Not to forget my all time favorite foot lotion, the Heel of Approval. Once I started using this I've never tried anything else. It keeps my feet super soft during the winter and summer. Love it! If you haven't tried it you better get some. It's 2 for $20 right now. There you have it. My spiel for the day! My mom and I had a great day spending and saving a bundle.

Netflix

Is anyone else a huge fan of Netflix like I am? I've been a member for maybe a year now and I'm completely addicted. I love that I can catch up on my favorite tv shows and try out some new ones as well. I love that I can get new movies and old movies. I love that when I mail it in I get my next one in about 2 days from the day I mail it.

I recently found out that they now have unlimited access through the Wii. Woot! Woot! My dad and brother have the Xbox360 and have been watching movies on it, which I think is great. I heard a while ago that they were going to make that available for the Wii sometime soon, and now it is. I'm anxiously awaiting the free disc arriving today so I can hopefully get it all set up tonight. I'll be a movie watching freak! Hehe :) Anyone want to have a movie night?

A New 'Do?


I'm thinking it's time for a change and I want a new haircut. I love having shorter hair, and I have totally loved my flippy 'do, but I want to try something different. I want something fast and easy to do every morning, definitely low maintenance, and something fun and flirty. I love my golden/blond hair color and will probably keep that about the same, but have been looking at short haircuts. The picture posted here is one that I found recently and I'm thinking I really love it! I don't have my next haircut until the end of May, but who knows, maybe I could try curling it under in the meantime and seeing what happens. :) What do you think? Should I try it?

Fresh and New


Are there any of you that love Stampin' Up as much as I do? Have you heard that they're retiring some of their colors and bringing back some old in-colors and adding brand new ones for permanent colors in their new catalog in July? I'm excited for some of my favorites to be coming back, such as Wild Wasabi, Pink Pirouette, and Riding Hood Red. However, I'm a little sad to see a ton of some great ones leaving.

If you're anything like me, you better stock up on your favorites now, before they're gone for good. :)
