C'est La Vie

Such is life.

Three Things

One:

We got rid of cable. It was my idea. We needed to cut back on a few expenses, but lets be honest I wasted way to much time on that boob tube. When in social gatherings, it was borderline embarrassing how much I knew about every show, and every celebrity (thank you E news) Also I watched way to much teen mom. I hate that show. And yet, I would watch it. And I would feel angry at Brad after watching it for some reason. ( teen mom is only one of the stupid shows out there, i just choose to use it as my example) Anyways I cancelled cable. Now we have more money, I waste less time, and Brad no longer gets called my baby daddy. I should add we have netflix and hulu plus streamable threw our T.V so if your thinking I must be an advid reader by now your wrong. I have been on chapter two of Graceling for over a month.

Two:

I cut my hands three times in two days, and not by doing hair. Once was on the stove while scrubbing it, another was on a freshly opened can lid, and the other was from a knife in the dishwasher. All three require band-aids so my hands look like something out of a Tim Burton movie. Whoever said homemaking is an easy gig is on something. I have scars to prove it. Mostly burns and cuts from cooking but its no walk in the park. The third time I cut my hand I left the sponge on the stove and just walked away. Im currently looking for a new job that isnt so dangerous. Maybe a Navy Seal.

Three:

I am off of sugar. Its going well. Notice the word well. Not good, not great, not terrible, but well. I have a sweet tooth that (sorry honey) definitely grew after meeting my husband. Also nursing didn't help. I decided to cut sugar and all other artificial sweeteners out of my diet for 28 days and hopefully after that I will just enjoy it on special occasions, not for things like "I am planning on working out today so I can have a cookie for breakfast" A friend of mine introduced me to a website called chocoloatecoveredkatie.com and that has been a life saver. It is all natural sugar free desserts. I made the German chocolate date balls and they were good! Anyways Brad is at the the hospital until tomorrow morning so I am alone for the night (dont tell the murders and the sex traffickers) and these things were on my mind...random but C'est La Vie

TMB Announcement!!!

Cant wait to watch this season...also isn't my sister a total babe?

Wish List

Since I can't just go to Sephora and

drop it like it's hot

I am going to make a wish list of sorts to remind me of

why it would be nice to have money:

This is the most amazing lip gloss I hear... It supposedly plumps your lips up, goes on clear then reacts with your personal skin chemistry to turn your lips into your own custom shade of pink ( deep breath) plus I hear it really does.

This is my favorite thing. If my house was on fire and I only had two seconds to put on some make up to greet the handsome firemen it would be blush and bronzer(especially this stuff) Some people love their mascara some people lipstick...I have NO color in my face therefore I need my duo.

Need it, want it, love it.

I love this stuff! We used it in my old salon and it not only makes your hair grease go away but it touches up your roots for the day! And lets be honest who wants to wash their hair everyday? (it is a bit pricey though, and fyi you can use baby powder in a pinch)

This thing is awesome, but too expensive(but this is a dream list) and I feel like maybe you look like you have a lot of makeup on...however they only tried it on me once so it might have been the ladys style

some day, some day,

Little Me

Here is a video of me when I was little that my parents sent me. The more tired I got the more creative I became apparently....

Movies

We just watched I Am Number Four. It was... how do you say... Not good. Which got me thinking.... I am so sick of bad movies. They have like a what 50 million plus dollar budget, lots of crew members, months and months of writing, editing, acting etc and...thats what you send out to the world? I'm not just singling out I am number four. There are plenty of dumb movies out there. I saw some of Jar Head on tv the other day ( technically I'm not even sure if I'm aloud to not like movies about war because I do love my country, and Jake Gyllenhall but come on) I could list some more but my brain is busy trying to forget I am number four. I should add that if you liked I am number four please do not take offensive from this post...even though I like to think of myself educated and at times "with it" I also like to entertain myself with such choice programs such as The Bachlorette, Teen Mom and although I try to resist Jerseylicious, so don't feel too bad.

I would like to add that I saw The Help last week and that was excellent. See I'm not totally pessimistic

"Oh me? Yeah I craft..."

I finally found the camera cord! So I have all these pictures I need to update with! Starting with a craft project I did a couple of weeks ago. My desk chair that I inherited from Brad was a little dated and a bit of an eye sore in our family room so I covered it with some fabric I picked up from the fabric store...all you need is fabric scissors and a whole bunch of hot glue.

Crazy Coupon Lady

I have been trying to get into the coupon game for a while now. I've done alright but not as good as I want. It all started when I got Zoo Zoo's mattress. I researched and found s couple fo coupons for it and I took it from full prince 150 and after the coupons purchased it for around 46! I just remember when the clerk scanned the total down I seriously felt such a rush. After that I really just wanted to get into it. So last night I watched a couponing show that I cant think of the name right now on TLC and it like electrified me. They were getting things for free! Its not even a money thing (although who doesn't love saving money) It's a game. How much can I save and how much can I get. But I still don't really GET IT!!! Its frustrating because I know theres a crazy coupon lady inside of me just waiting to be released. I can just see my self with a binder full of savings a fanny pack with emergency back up coupons, a camel-back water back pack and a calculator watch. I just need to figure it out how to get those amazing check outs. So if anyone has some knowledge in this area, please help a crazy out!
