Day one of my Valentines Challenge

Day one: Coffee for my Husband and a 'Kiss' note. 

 

 

Convo this morning:

Husband: Is that Coffee I smell?

Me: yea.

Husband: Is it YOUR coffee?

Me: No, I made it for you.

Husband: You never make coffee for me, are you sure its not your 'flavored crap'?

Me: No, its just for you :)

Husband: ***speechless*** 

Me: (in the kitchen putting it in his cup)
Husband: If your making me a cup, don't put sugar in it.
Me: Why? I thought you added sugar?
Husband: Last time you made it (Hey wait I thought he said I never make him coffee-busted!) it was crunchy....(LOL) you put alot of it in there.
Me: (dumped half of sugar out of 'to go' cup) Okay.


I don't think I got a thank you for making it.... oh well. Thought that counts.

PS I am adding to this list when I think of more things.....

Periods Suck!

That time of month again???

Yup!

I can tell its onset is approaching with my HUGE ravenous appetite the week before. I eat everything is site, especially junk food. I go for salty and sweet, preferably at the same time.

Our puppy is in her first heat as well. I kept forgetting to make the dang spaying appointment, now I have to deal with her period too....
....and the male dog that frequents our yard from - get this......10 houses and two streets away! Freaking keep your dog on a leash or fix your fence people.

Yesterday I cried myself to sleep over I forget what....probably loneliness....Monday is karaoke night for my 'husband', so is Wednesday, and occasionally Friday's, let not forget some Saturday's too...another time another place though....not here. Probably shouldn't have typed what I typed....

I cut my hair last night....using the creaclip....google it. I used it once before....I required an emergency to the salon afterward. I blunt cut what was supposed to be an angled cut, whoops. It was a cute haircut though. Last March I went from this length.....

to this length.....by accident:

I'll admit it was a nice change, this is right after the salon, when its always PERFECT. It never looked like that again.

This time I went from this:

to this:

Not a huge difference....but no major mistakes either! YAY!

I have some regrets about it....Like I want my hair long....IDK why, but I do....I'm thinking the longer it is the easier it would be to have down more often...I usually just throw it up in a mommy pony tail....ugh!

This year I am trying my hardest to stay motivated to loose weight, and make sure I look put together....this week that is not happening. See Post Title.

So far this year I have lost 4 pounds. Its nothing major, but I gotta keep going. Even if its only 4 pounds a months, that's almost 50 pounds in one year, I could be my goal weight this time next year!!!

Ooooh, Sassy Lacquer has a spring line coming soon. Bloggers have been lined up for reviews, and you should start seeing them within two weeks or so....Yay. I'm not sure of a release date yet....
Here is a sneak peek. Which one is your fav?

Tiger Lily Wears Pink

Is that mold on your nails???

That's what one of my friends said about this mani. She said it was the color combo. Thanks Kristen. :D

Anyways I may break this out again for Halloween and call it a monster mani, lol.

I used China Glaze Stone Cold as a base. I top coated it then put a matte coat on top, for drying purposes, yes I know Stone Cold is already matte. Then I dotted with clear and added the orange flocking powder, and then placed a light green gem on my nail also.

Then on the other hand I left Stone Cold shiny, and added clear to my ring finger, placed the green gem, and then flocked it.

What do you think? Mold? Monster?

Have a great day!

PS Grab your valentine polishes while their HOT. ;)

Stars and Gems

I haven't really been doing much with my nails lately, well this whole past year...You know, that depression thing...

Well I am slowly still climbing out of that hole.....sometimes I go deeper though and have to rework myself up...its a one step forward three step back progress. I'm trying. the walls of my hole are also covered with anxiety and control issues as well. I am trying to self heal. Its hard. My family helps though, they know my troubles and they helps whenever they can, most of the time by listening to me complain or cry...but at least it is something.

So on to the nails. I received some nail decor items for my birthday, from one of my birthday group buddies, Jessica, so I decided to use those. I used the stars and the gems that were in this little package.

For my base I used China Glaze For Audrey as a base, and then China Glaze Water You Waiting For as my 'tip'. Then I added some stars up the angle of the 'tip' and ended the angle with a gem.

I hope you enjoyed this mani.

For Audrey came from the same person as the glitter.
Water You Waiting For came from, oh well me, I think I bought it...can't remember, my memory sucks!

I'm a stalker...

Sort of, but not really.

There is this family down the road from me. It seems like a perfect one. Their lawn is green, even in the winter when most are dead. Their bushes are squared up. Their house is clean (on the outside). They have the best Christmas light display in the neighborhood (behind ours of course).  They have the neatest fort in a tree. Nice cars.

I don't know them personally.

I only drive by their house, 6 times a day or more. (For picking up and dropping of my kids at school, I swear I am not  Psychopath stalker)

Every time I drive by I learn something new about this family...

They have two sons, one middle school aged, and one elementary aged.

This morning I saw the middle school-er riding his bike back from them elementary school...I thought how sweet of him to take his brother to school.

Last year, I saw the mom walking to and from school, with her growing belly....she had a baby boy, I see blue in his carrier when she has him out with her.

Last week I saw them all outside taking Christmas decorations down, all together, willingly!

Every time I drive by my heart warms. They seem so perfect. I wonder if its like that on the inside of their home?

I put a smile on for others but inside I am breaking, I am falling apart. I am hurting. I am not happy. I am sad.

I am strong, I can do this, I will be happy! (eventually) (the grass isn't always greener on the other side)

Dreams are weird...

So I promised you a blog about sling shooting birds and laughing lemurs...

Well I took so long to jot it down that I kinda forgot the dream...

I do know I was unloading groceries, and the neighbors kept screeching and yelling every two seconds...so I went to look and the laughing lemur was leading a gang of sling shooting birds in a full on attack of the neighbors....lol....
