This is my go to feel good song

Posted under fitness, music

 

this is a great song to run to… except it makes me a little more skippy and dancey then runny… so I have to really concentrate when I’m running to not start dancing.  serious! 

on that note.  i think I would kick butt at being one of those dancing “CiCi Pizza” sign holders on the side of the road. 

here’s some other songs in my work out playlist

  • You’re so beautiful - Akon
  • Low - Ludacris
  • Bedrock - young money
  • Tik Tok - Ke$ha
  • She’s got to move - N.E.R.D
  • Do you remember - Jay Sean and Sean Paul
  • fire burning - sean kingston
  • sexy chick - akon  and a white dude (i don’t know his name)

Dream Bedroom revisited

Posted under Domesticated, Fab Friday, fitness, personal beautification

the reason why the last post was entitled “Dream Bedroom”  was because I was going to post pictures of what I really would like my bedroom to look like… but then I somehow started it off on the wrong foot by telling ya’ll about my weird burrito dream. 

So anyway here are some pictures of what inspires me for what I would like my bedroom to look like.  Chad is not on board at all.  He thinks that if we had a white bed set that the kids would instantly go find themselves a mud puddle and then try to make snow angels on top of the comforter.  But this is what I’m holding out for and I’m a girl who likes to pretend that I get what I want. 

 

 

by the way I went to yoga last night you know because I’m on a quest for Serenity in 2010 and it helped a little.  There was one part where I was meditating and she was saying “Whatever bad things are in your mind write down the one word that you associate with it, write it down on a piece of paper, roll it up, tie it to a balloon and watch it drift away”  So I wrote down a word, rolled it up, watched it drift away and not kidding the balloon then popped and it came back down to me and i was like “stupid brain”  so then I did it again… and right when I was tying it to the balloon she changed poses on us!!! 

but it made me miss my sister Stephanie a whole lot.  She is a great yoga instructor.  She has this peace about her that I love and appreciate.  And why I love it so much is because she’s really earned it.  and I think thats why people can really feel it during her classes,  because its real and genuine and trusting. 

found this song the other day and i’m really feeling it right now

 

 especially these words:

No, this is how it works,
You peer inside yourself,
You take the things you like,
Then try to love the things you took.
And then you take the love you made,
And stick it into some,
Someone else’s heart,
Pumping someone else’s blood.
And walking arm in arm,
You hope you don’t get harmed.
But even if it does,
You’ll just do it all again.

Well now that I’ve turned this into such a hodge podge of a post I’ll tell you something else.  I dyed my hair the other day and also my eyebrows and it stained my skin purple.  So I googled “how to remove hair dye stains”  and it gave me some options.  First I used baking soda toothpaste.  then nail polish remover.  burned!  the other option they gave me was to get cigerette ash and mix it with shampoo but I didn’t have any cigarette ash on hand :(  so I kept reading and it told me to get a mr clean magic eraser.  I did that and it worked… but basically it was like sandpaper and it rubbed the skin off my face.  it hurt so bad!!!

oh and I got a new headband yesterday at Target.  it kinda looks like this

 

that about does it! have a great weekend - love shell

Dream Bedroom

Posted under cringe

I have been having some STRANGE dreams lately because I’ve been wearing pj’s to bed the past couple of nights because its been somewhat cold.  But the problem when I wear pj’s to bed is that by around 3 am I am INSANELY hot and sweaty and grumpy but to tired to take off my pj’s so then my body tortures me and says “fine you want to turn me into a little sweat lodge?  well THEN I am going to give you nightmares for the rest of the night!!!!” 

Two nights ago I had a dream that I was in a car driving around and I was a teenager.  I picked up my boyfriend and then suddenly he got this grossed out look on his face I followed his eyesight to see that he was looking at my stomach.  I looked to down to see that I was wearing a tube top.  eww.  Now I know this is a nightmare because I think tube tops are a gross look on anyone.  So my stomach was all showing… but heres the thing that was gross… i had this flat stomach but you could see the outline of a rectangular object pushing out through my skin.  you know kind of like that photo floating around where you can see that babies foot on that prego belly. 

anyway so my boyfriend says “what is that?”  and I immediately know what it was “A burrito”  “You swallowed it whole?”  “Yeah”  and then I was so embarrassed that I made myself wake up…

DANGIT!!! I hate when this happens… yet another post that I hit Publish instead of Save draft. Sometimes I REALLY REALLY HATE GOOGLE READER!!!

because even if I delete this post because after I wrote I thought it sounded so Rtarded I know that it will still show up in all your readers anyway.

gosh i feel dumb.

Say Yes to the Dress

Posted under love

Say Yes to the Dress is one of my new favorite shows on TLC.  Its basically about Brides going to Kleinfelds (a high end wedding dress store) in Manhattan and finding their dream dress.  And I love it love it love it. 

If I could do my wedding day over I would change two things.  I would have had a really nice intimate dinner instead of a reception and I would have had a different dress.  I rented mine (that part was great) but I just wish I could have had the dress of my dreams instead of a $200 rental. 

So if I could redo my dress here’s some dresses that I like…

basically I would like something simple, romantic, and more form fitting.  kindof a vintage look to it. 

So what would you change about your wedding day.  You can comment here or post about it I would love to see.

Serial Killer at Walmart on Aisle 9

Posted under Georgia

the other day at walmart I was shopping for a mop head.  while I was in the aisle comparing mop heads a man down the way was looking at scenty things… sprays, candles, plugins and such. 

he had long stringy gray hair, a black cotton jacket, a cane, and thick black rubbered soled shoes like one of his legs was shorter than the other… except both soles were thick soled so I guess that means that both of his legs were short??

so he turns to me and says “How do I find one that will make my house smell good”  and I walk over to try to help. and I was like “well to smell the different flavors you just scratch this dot”  and then showed him how to scratch and sniff the dot and smell all the lavendar goodness. 

so then!!!!  he smiles and me all creepy like and says “Thank you I really need to make my house smell good”  and so I was like thinking “oh shiza GET OUT OF HERE SHELLIE”  because in my head the alarm bells were going off like crazy

ohmagosh..ohmagosh..ohmagosh…ohmagosh..ohmagosh..ohmagosh…breathe breathe… HE’S a SERIAL Killer!!!! he has dead bodies in his house and he needs to cover up the smell!!!!

so as I’m walking away I realize that I HAVE to go back and look at him very closely so I can ID him when the cops come to my house!!!  So I go back and stare at him for like 30 seconds and then he made eye contact with me and I almost fainted.  so i left…

but you know what have been really freaky is if when I was passing the lotion aisle he was there looking at lotion.

you know  “it puts its lotion on its skin” 

eeeeeek not good.

here’s the online sketch I was able to make of the seriel killer I saw.  as you can see it was very traumatic for me to recreate this. 

 

except his hair was gray and a little more stringy and he was like 40 years older than this guy.  and he didn’t have a mustache.   other than that it was dead on. 

 

p.s.

ok this should be a no brainer… but I was thinking  all you have to do to catch a serial killer is to put bleach, mop heads, scenty things, rope,  duct tape, and lotion on one aisle and who ever comes to that aisle arrest all of them.  you are welcome police.

Staying in love does too

Posted under love

saw this pic today and thought I’d share

 

this morning at the crack of dawn both kids were snuggled in bed with me since dallen was sick and kate’s sibling sense kicked in and realized that wasn’t fair she was alone in her bed so she snuck in too… chad was getting ready for work and I woke up long enough to recognize that he was making his way through all the blankets and pillows to kiss each one of us goodbye.  it was very sweet and it made me feel loved.

People of Walmart

Posted under Georgia

Yesterday I went to a baptism of a kid in our ward.  (I’m in the Primary Presidency)  So I get the opportunity to speak in public when emotions are high and the spirit is strong.  I love that feeling.  I always try to make the best of it and say really important things. 

Like “The holy ghost will comfort you when you get sad.  Boys get sad too just like girls.  Okay actually girls get sadder… but the holy ghost will make you feel happy when you are sad okay?”

So at the baptism I had the pleasure of sitting next to Liz Jaggi.  I like to use Liz Jaggi’s full name so that when people google her they will find my blog.  It makes Liz Jaggi feel good. I think.  So L.J. gave me the church giggles.  I don’t know how she did it.  But I couldn’t stop laughing inside and Randy Rupp was talking about spiritual things and I was laughing so hard (inside) that tears streamed out from the corners of my eyes.  So anyway when all was said and done I went to walmart.

at walmart I bought a boat load of candy for a party.  I got up to the cash register and the guy who was the cashier started ringing up the candy and he looked at me and said real serious like

“Okay who’s A$$ do you want me to kick?” 

and I was like “Huh?” 

So he pointed at all the candy and said “Well with all this candy and you’ve been crying.” 

So I reach up and touch my eyes and look at my hands and yep all this mascara is all over my fingers. 

“Oh no… I was at a baptism and my friend was making me laugh really hard” 

Which sounded bad anyway.  Who laughs at a baptism?  Oh right.  Me. 

anyway I know that if someone ever does make me cry I now know who to hire to kick some bootay that would *hopefully* not trace back to me.  I could probably pay him in big league gum, a wolf tshirt, and a remote control car.
