Danielle: "Do you think there's a chance our kids will have nipples?"

my explanation..

my whole life i have had to defend myself and why i don't do certain things. my argument has always been, "i learn from others mistakes" I would get responses that people wanted to try things for themselves. why? why run into the wall, or fall off the cliff if you have seen the consequences. anyway, the answer finally came in the form of a status on facebook.


"You should profit from the mistakes of others ~ You don't live long enough to make them all yourself."


YES! finally, facebook is good for something.

what reality tv has taught me.


I was thinking about it the other day - I read all these comments people leave, and say on my much-loved reality tv shows and wonder WHAT school these people have attended. What makes you say the things you do? Who do you think you are? Anyway... here's a guide on how to annoy people. Say all of these things, & for the brave of heart, try them all in one conversation!

"congratulations! you're gonna love married life" -1) from a person married 32 seconds before you. you have as much experience as me. get over yourself. 2) you are not > than me. =) 3) DUH thats why I did it!

"no offense, but..." - from anyone. seriously!? This is my NUMBER ONE most hated. It has always bugged me and will always bug me. "No offense but.. I am about to say something offensive right....NOW!"
I found this from another blog: funny and true! When you use this statement you are either:
1. Saying something derogatory and refusing to take the blame;
2. Trying to help by saying something derogatory;
3. A self-righteous fool.

"I have completely changed. I did a complete 360." - "Ya! I can tell! You're still an idiot."

& some extra ones just for "funsies"! (haha I'm sure that word is on someone else's list!)

"I'm Just Sayin'" - ..srsly? great argument. you win!

"whatever" - "Ok you angst-ridden teen, you! Slam your face into my fist."

"you know, it is what it is!" - oh but IS IT!?

"woman" - hey! Don't you call me that!! haha I know I am one, but it just bugs the crap out of me to hear, "hey woman! Come here!" chea right. get a life sucka.

Submissions:
I totally agree with Angela on this - When people stop in front of you as you are IN MOTION! esp. annoying at theme parks and on the street. sttuuuupid.

"thats ironic" - sub. by helena. people OBVIOUSLY don't know what irony is.

"literally" - "i literally DIED last night", no you didn't, but you're LITERALLY a pro at exaggeration. I'm pretty sure this word has been taken OUT of the dictionary because it LITERALLY has no meaning anymore.

I know, I'm a delightful human being =) Maybe its the "crazy pills" I have been taking.

Cheryl absolutely LOVED carving pumpkins as you can see...especially the part where you gut them! (and Aris in the background being sneaky - probably hiding all of her rice crispies. haha)

bathroom organization.

When you have a LOT of bathroom stuff and very little space, you have to get creative and that is exactly what i have been doing. I have a drawer dedicated to headbands and hair stuff and a box dedicated to hair clips but why hide all my goodies when i can display them on my empty walls?? PLUS it will give me an extra drawer and box to put my drugs in! you know, nyquil, pepto, ibuprofen, the essentials. :) haha So I have made a lot of flower clips and bows and have collected lots of headbands...tonight i decided enough was enough!! I'm making a clip organizer! Here's what came of it.

First, this is the headband organizer. A lot of organizers were ones that took up counter space, and I just plain don't have that kind of space! So, i took the basic idea of a cylinder and hung it up on the wall. Since I didn't have money to spend, I looked around the house for what I had.. I grabbed a partially used paper towel roll (which magically was the perfect size for headbands) covered it in some black corduroy fabric I had from last years halloween costume with hot glue. Then I just used some green ribbon, tied it around the roll and hung it up. This isn't my favorite project but hey, it got the job done. I'll probably look at it for a couple days then make some adjustments to the design.



My bow holder was SUUUPER easy to do. I had a really hard piece of 12 X 12 cardboard that was really giving me a headache b/c I kept trying to throw it away but it kept reappearing! Good thing it never left! I used some of my scrapbook paper and ribbon I had lying around and covered the cardboard piece with it. I used 4 pieces of ribbon across it thinking that would be enough, but it wasn't so I just added a couple small pieces on the botton for the extra ones I had. I folded the ribbon in half so the bows wouldn't slide off. I love it! Its like art for my wall!



Let me know if i was a little bit too tired to be creative or if I should do more crafty things late at night! haha I have decided to re-do my lamp. The paper I chose was a little too... "exotic" for my taste. But that's the beauty of modge podge. you can always cover it again! haha Anyway, hang tight for pics of that future project.
