Friday, November 5
fill in the blank friday
1. My last haircut was The week before we had Miss K...I decided that that would be a good time to get bangs!!
2. My most daring hair moment was when I was seven? and had my waist length hair put into beads...it took two days.
3. A hairstyle I'd never be brave enough to try is anything much shorter than my shoulders, I've had unfortunate experiences with bobs .
4. I've always dreamt of being a (blonde, brunette or red-head) definitely a red head like Pippy Longstockings or Mary Jane.
5. My go-to hair do is curly, curly, curly. There is absolutely no point in trying to fight it anymore...these days I only wear my hair straight if they do it at the salon. It used to take me two hours to straighten and it still never looked natural...that's time I'll never get back!!
6. My biggest hair disaster was relaxing my hair...I totally burned my scalp.
7. A hairstyle I am dying to try is I would love to wake-up with Beyonce bombshell hair.
8. My best hair day was the day that it got Mr. Awesome's attention ...it was the first thing he noticed in the airport that fateful day:)
9. The worst hairstyle I ever had was when I was 13, talking the hairstylist into giving me Drew Barrymore's little bob...she has about half the amount of hair I have and I was stuck with the oh so popular with the curly set "pyramid bob."
10. My hair is is the most comical morning hair that you will ever see...especially with the bangs, there's no telling what I'll wake up with
whirlwind weekending
What kind of trouble are you getting into this weekend? Miss K and I will be running a muck!! Saturday we'll be heading down to Portland to visit family, this little lady in particular...
my niece who is just three months older than Miss K...they're gonna be trouble!!
I'm also hoping to stop by this...
and maybe pick up some lovelies like...
and....
I'm also hoping that being strapped into her car seat for a couple hours doesn't send Miss K into a fit of hysterics and did I mention a birthday on Sunday too!!
Wish us luck and happy Friday!!

my diaper bag and other disasters
I've never been a purse girl...not because I don't love them or think they're pretty and not because there aren't some beautiful purses that I covet. I am not a purse girl purely because I am a Closet Purse Slob. It's like hoarding but on a micro scale; all my dirty little secrets reside in the dark crevasses of a purse. For years I have relegated purse use to an occasional, warranted treat, typically limiting myself to the much more manageable, yet still stylish, clutch. However now, dear friends, I have a Diaper Bag.
It's a lovely diaper bag that was a shower gift from my mom and unlike most diaper bags, it is relatively stylish, but like most diaper bags it is huge. It supplies me with more than enough space for my myriad of crap and the clincher is that I HAVE TO CARRY IT!!
When I first got it I thought, "I can keep this organized...I mean look at all these pockets, right?" Well let the hoarding begin!!!
contents as of yesterday:
five outfits
12 diapers
the whole costco size container of baby wipes
enough receipts to paper mache a pinata
clippers
thermometer
a half eaten old-fashioned donut (still in the bag, but stale and inedible)
five packs of pulverized saltines (from lunch with the grandparents)
my clutch
my phone might be in there (it's currently MIA)
two Pilot G2 extra fine point pens (cause they're awesome)
emergency formula, liners and a bottle
the flip camera
the regular camera
camera charger
her hair brush
two bibs that never seem to make it on
and....an Almond Joy wrapper
Now, this is how I know I have a problem: when someone offers to grab something out of the bag, I panic. My response is frantic and apologetic and I am just short of screaming "NOOOOOOOOO!!!! You may not come back." Just the thought of someone going in there horrifies me. Doesn't this sound like one of those crazy Hoarders...I know I don't need all that stuff. I just need a diaper clutch and we can save the DB for overnight trips.
I feel so much better having come clean!

thanksgiving...the best holiday around
It is no secret that I love to eat (I should say we love to eat), so it just makes sense that the holiday with the most delicious spread would be my favorite. I am thankful for Thanksgiving and absolutely giddy with anticipation. So in honor of the best holiday ever, I'm going to post something I'm thankful for every day in November. I hope to encourage a spirit of thankfulness just in time for these beautiful fall colors to turn into the starkness of winter...here goes (my backlog):
what are you thankful for?
