6 Months of Wedded Bliss

Just like the title says - Justin and I have been married for 6 months today! I'm nowhere near the mushy type - so im just going to leave you with some photos from the wedding. Pics by the awesomely talented Leslie Spurlock.

Happy Birthday Justin!

Justin's 28th birthday was on the 31st. Most times, i never know what to get him. We always buy games and dvds and electronics, so there goes those ideas. But this year was different, thank goodness! Our first birthdays celebrating as a married couple and i think i did very well this year! Since we're headed to Vegas soon, he wanted a little video recorder. Sure, our little point and shoot takes videos, but he wanted a recorder that was specifically for that and didnt really look like one, but more like a cell phone, and it had to have a slot for a memory card, not just internal memory. So he ended up getting this little kodak one, the Zi6. He loves it. He even took it out shooting the guns with the neighbors this morning, and then afterwards, they liked it so much, they went and got one too! I also picked him up the Madagascar 1 & 2 DVDs. He always sings the little bit "I like to move it move it" but we didnt have the dvd yet surprisingly. So he was happy. His request to his parents for his birthday, was to cook fried cauliflower. That stuff is a mess! Good thing his mom will do it for him, cause uh, I wont. Fried zucchini (spelling? It looked funny with just one c, so i added another one?) was bad enough. bleh. So we went to their house for dinner and cake and presents....

We still have a fridge full of this stuff. I know what he's having for lunch tomorrow. and dinner tonight. and a snack the next day.



Oh lookie there, black and silver balloons! He also had a transformers one. haha He's been on this snickers ice cream kick, so i told his mom to get him an ice cream cake. and now i know what im having for dessert tonight. bwaha



I also told him to tell his mom he needs a new razor. He will never ever answer us when we ask him what he wants for his birthday.



Mussssstang ;)



I might steal the tshirt from him. tehe

Learning the Ropes

Yes, I'm blogging again today. Which will not be common. I swear. Since the blog is new, it looked naked, and so i think it needs some substance. And i think i finished fiddling with the layout. Added another pic to the sidebar, added some cool links, and figured out wtf RSS feeds were. So i'm going to post a couple pics so I know I know how, but i promise i'll make them relevant, k?

These are my newest pair of cheap shoes. They're black. and silver. Well, they're a dark metallic gray, but i pretty much classify anything that's gray and metallic, (whether it's light or dark), I just call it silver. I got them at Ross. For 14.99. I didn't really need another black pair of heels, because i think i have too many pairs of black heels. But can you really actually have too many pairs of black heels? no.




My desk at work is a mess. But i was trying out this new camera lens before i bought it, and I had it at my desk. I made this mustang model look like my car back in the day. It doesnt look like this anymore. It's got a different hood and new wheels and alot more power.



There.

Now i'm going to go see if i can run through my dvr and fast forward through So You Think You Can Dance and find out who gets booted off.

PS - im glad i tried to post pics now, because i totally got an error the first time i hit publish.

Yes, No, Maybe So

I used to do a good job at telling myself no. But i find myself fighting to do that lately. Like last week, I was at Ulta... I have a tube of Max Factor Lash Perfection in my purse and in my makeup tray at home. It's my favorite. I like to buy a tube whenever i go to Ulta, because they only sell this stuff at Walmart and Ulta and not the drugstores and i despise Walmart. But the last few times i've been to Ulta, they've been sold out of my favorite mascara. Well I'm a mascara whore. I dont need any more. But I totally hadn't tried Covergirl's Lash Blast yet, and insisted that i needed to. Only, I'd just seen the commericial for this last blast, and im a complete sucker for anything at all that's black and silver, the word no completely jumped ship out of my vocabulary, and i picked up a tube of black and platinum. It was either that or Maybelline's Lash Stiletto. I used this to top off my lash perfection at my wedding, and really liked it...but there...there i said no. Except, after Ulta, i went to Target, and it was cheaper there than at Ulta, and I just had to get it 'cause it was a deal right? That doesn't sound too bad... until you look at my makeup tray, and you also see tubes of mascara from Estee Lauder and Clinique and other Maybelline (the colossal, which by the end of the day, im picking off my eyelashes, but it looks good in the morning?), and that's only three I can think of off the top of my head, even tho i know there's at least 9 tubes there. Mascara shouldn't even be on my mind today, because I'm wearing my glasses. And it's extremely hard to put my mascara on without my contacts in because I'm THAT blind.

Hold up - I still had amazon open from finding that link for the Lash Stiletto... and this little gem was on the side bar...

The Ice Cream Ball

First of all, holy price range: Price:$19.50 - $227.40. In reading the "How It Works" paragraph, you'll find this statement - "The consistency will vary based on the ice, your mix, the outside temperature, shaking frequency, etc." So basically, if you live in Texas, I hope you like milk, or you're making this indoors with the AC cranked up high. Cause making it outside at "camping trips, at picnics, barbecues," is totally out of the question in these 90+ degree temps. Heck, it was hard enough to keep it frozen making it WITH electricity when i was a kid. If you know anything about making ice cream in Texas, just enlighten me please.

PS - I'm impatient, and when I want something, I would rather go pay $50 more in-store to get it right then and there than to buy it online and save $$$. But my lord, do not forward me email #1 two hours after you sent it, because I did not respond yet. Seriously? I have thirty something other people downstairs that im buying stuff for, and your first email has just not made it to the top of my to do list yet.
