Wednesday

I was listening to Kidd Kraddick this morning and they were doing their "Does That Make Me Crazy" segment. A girl called in and said that when she's at work and she goes to the bathroom, she brings another pair of shoes in there with her so that "if something happens" she can change her shoes and no one will know it was her. Kelly Rasberry thought it was genius and Kidd started calling them her "poop shoes." I found this all completely hysterical because really, what girl has not had this issue at work? I mean, as I've gotten older I've become more okay with the fact that everyone poops and why be embaressed? But this whole things was just hysterical. Poop shoes - HA!

His 32nd birthday is Sunday so to celebrate we've been eating cake all week. Like, his parents made a peanut butter cake, then we bought a small cookie cake at the grocery store, then he wants me to make an all white cake this weekend for his birthday. So, cake cake cake.

How did I go from poop to cake? Oh well.

Anyway - Halloween is soon, right?

Day 1: "I'm not decorating the house for Halloween, it's stupid, blah blah blah."
Day 2: "Well, maybe we can paint some pumpkins or something."
Day 3: Girl at work mentions decoupaging pumpkins. "Wait, what?"
Day 4: Googling pictures of pumpkins and pumpkin-on-porch arrangements.
Day 5: Googling pictures of wreaths. 'Cause if I'm going to have pumpkins on the porch, I kind of need a wreath too.
Day 6: Writing out shopping list so I can go to Hobby Lobby during lunch this week to buy paint, stencils, fake spikers, spider web stuff, orange and black fabric, orange and black ribbon and wire and/or foam wreaths.

Here are some ideas that I liked:








So we'll be busy this weekend watching football, decorating the front of the house for Halloween, and eating cake.

Did I tell you that Pinterest has taken control of my life? Thanks Peirce girls, y'all have made me an addict. ;)

Here is what I did in the two weeks that Neal was gone:

1. Wall lyrics for above the dresser in the bedroom.

2.I made a necklace holder for the bedroom. I bought wood and knobs from hobby lobby (that sounds pervy). Inspiration from Milkweed, of course.

3. I modge podged four small plates that we don't use with scrapbook paper for the dining room wall. (Yeah, I used modge podge for the first time last week. Like now, if you sit still long enough, I will modge podge you too. That shit is fo' real.)

4. Our last name for the dining room wall. (I used a faded wood frame from Hobby Lobby with no backing and bought small wooden letters and painted them black.)

5. Re-painted a standing lamp in the living room and got a new shade for it.

6. Bought new drum shades for the lamps in the bedroom. (Almost electricuted myself while changing out the shades. I now know to always unplug lamps when messing with them.)

7. Moved white cube shelves from the "office" into the bedroom. Bought brown baskets on sale at Lowes and spray painted them blue to match the bedroom grey/blue/white scheme and put them in the cubby holes.

8. Bought gray curtains at Target for the bedroom ($14 for two panels, what what!) to replace the fug blue ones that were in there. And they're a lot thicker than the ones I had in there before. Neal calls them "curtains of the night."

So here is what I've learned from doing this stuff:

1. You can paint anything. If it doesn't match, paint it. I looked all over Lowe's for some blue baskets to match the bedroom. I found some brown ones that were on sale and was like "meh" but then I was like, "HOLD ON - I can buy some blue spray paint and paint them." And they totally work. Duh.

2. When spray painting, place something underneath the object while painting so that you don't get those weird sticky edges underneath it. I don't know why I never thought of this before. Probably because I want everything done NOW and don't like to take my time and do things carefully.

3. Modge podge.

4. Scrapbook paper is multi-functional. I am not a scrapbook person so I've never really thought about the paper before, but there are so many different designs of paper at hobby lobby that you can use them to cover plates, platters, canvas, frame it as wall hangings, whatever.

And I think that's it. I will take pics as soon as I find my camera.

It's a Conspiracy

Here is what my horoscope for today says:

"Today is all about communication, and your ease with words and facial expressions should help you to make the most of it! Now is the time to let people know just where they stand with you."

See the part I bolded? It's just cruel because I had three teeth drilled at the dentist this morning and now I can't fucking move the right side of my face. Assholes.

I ended up getting a last minute invite to go to the LSU game with my Dad Saturday, so I went. We stopped at Zippy's on the way there and each got a daquiri that tasted a little like pink lemonade. Well, the pink lemonade must have been masking the taste of gasoline and ecstacy, because I was fucked up six ways from Sunday after drinking that thing. Like, to' up from the flo' up.

And you see, I usually don't like to get *quite* that intoxicated when I'm around my parents, because, as many of you know - when I'm drunk my blunt honesty goes from zero to one hundred in no time. And at this point I start bringing up questions and situations that I am still carrying around from childhood. And quite frankly, I don't see the point in doing that. But I do it anyway, because I have issues and I just can't help myself.

So yesterday I slept pretty much all day and night and left the house twice. Both times were to get greasy fast food. It was a proud day for me.

And I'm still tired.
