Dream Bedroom revisited

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




I have been Domesticated! Its a MIRACLE!

YOU GUYS!!! I made something HOME MADE!  it felt so darn good.  I even wore an apron!!!  I looked so darn cute.  It was my “Put Some South in Your Mouth” apron that I bought with my sister in law/bff/exroommate/cousin Lisa  when we went to Paula Deen’s restaurant “Lady and Sons” while we were vacaying in Savannah.  Remember that trip?  Where we almost got murdered Twice!!! 

Anyway I planned out my menu for the week.  I don’t know what’s come over me because I never EVER do this.  I am so EL SUCKO in the LA CATINA!  So last night we had Homemade Mac & Cheese with cornbread & green beans.  This morning we had French Toast.  Chad loves Alton Brown and we watched an episode on “Toast”  He had a great recipe and so we tried it this morning.  It was really good.  I even took pictures.  I made some strawberry syrup with fresh strawberries and then we lightly dusted it with powdered sugar.
