Getting My Heeerr Did!

Ok so I sent Mr. B a Power Point collage of hairstyles on celebs ranging from styles to color (yes I'm a dork).

But I'm torn. Because I like some of Jessica Simpson's do which I've posted about but here it is.

But Mr. B really liked Catherine Zeta-Jones in this pic.

The main difference is Jessica's bangs are a little longer (because I love to just go in the morning and I'm worried regular bangs will take forever...however I mean how hard can it be to just blow dry those if need be right?! And I do like her color but I also like Jessica's color. I think I'll take both in to my stylist and see what she says...she's fab so she can work her magic and pretty little way she likes.

In new news my grandpa called me and shocked the hell out of me with something in his will....I just am honored but feel like they're being taken advantage of from a certain someone and that's why all of this came about and it sickens me people think like that.

Anywho they have 90%ly (making up my own wording hah) talked me into coming to the family reunion this year. I have been torn because I really wanted to go to the beach with Mr. B, or get a Wii, or go the the reunion. My grandpa graciously offered to pay for my plane ticket...I think his words were (God Damn It ...I'll just send you a check if you don't let me pay for the damn ticket...when I want to I'm going to!") hehe gotta love him. But I would have to take 3 vacation days which would leave me with 8 hours and then I'd have to save like mad to get enough for Xmas. Well who am I kidding? I get 10 every pay check. But we were toying with the idea of going to Seattle to see LSU play. But that's a holiday weekend so that would be ok.

But then I got this huge gush of wind taken right out of my lungs when I realized that Mr. B wouldn't be going. (He never intended to) but still the thought of being away from my bestie just hurt for some reason. (And yes he's gone on business and I've been away for Business and Pleasure before) but maybe with recent events we just both really realized we're best friends and there's nothing more that I look forward to doing then to hanging with him even if we don't talk and just watch TV.

I know I'll be ok because I'll be with my family having a good time, but I lurve him and wish he could go.

I had to make sure the place was somewhat up with the times and had Internet which they do thankfully but then I'd have to do some work there and yah all that fun stuff...I guess then I wouldn't use soo much vacation!

Well that's all my ramblings for one sitting.

Adios!

Hair

So I'm scheduled to get my hair colored and cut (Last time was on Halloween of 08 yack). So I can't decide if I want to go all dark (I know most folks do get highlights in the summer) but like this picture of Jessica Simpson where she's a little more tan and has darker hair I really like the look.

And I'm actually toying with the idea of doing bangs, where I can wear them normal or side swept like hers...however every time I get bangs I like them for a minute then hate my life since I really don't do my hair in the mornings.

Now here's a picture of Jamie Lynn Sigler with highlights...which I do like. Decisions...decisions..

Well I actually got a lot done whoo me. We hung our wedding pictures in our bedroom. (I've only had them framed sitting on our dining table for oh 6 months haha) and I went through one of our office's closets and threw out a lot of stuff. I've put together my picture display but need to run to Walgreen's tomorrow and make a copy in Black and White. Then I can put them up tomorrow. I'll post pics when I get that done. I've put away all clothes except for one basket left in the laundry room but boy that's a major improvement.

I also spray painted our non working fountain that's just too big to throw out. I need to buy one more can to finish off and buy mosquito tablets too. But at least from the street it looks nice.

And a shout out to our LSU boys for beating Virginia...good luck tomorrow!

Well I'm off to plan our weekly meal menu.

I'm back

Well I can't believe that our trip went by as fast as it did and I've already been back to work almost a week! I did get all of our laundry done the day I took off work (Thank Goodness I did that) but it's already piling up again and tonight Kevin comes over to drop Mattox off because we offered to watch her until Sunday while he takes a mini vacation.

He's going to Destin with his girly and that has inspired me to want to go to Destin too. Mainly because I've never been there (been to Panama City many a time) and that I feel Mike and I need a mini vacation from our vacation.

We did an extreme amount of walking and it was beating hot in Rome...let alone other things that happened. I took 575 pictures because Mr. B wouldn't shut his trapper about me taking pics. By the end of the trip when he'd say "Take a picture of that...or did you a take a few of that?" I was biting my tongue because it was like nails on a chalkboard. And when we came home and I told him how many we actually took he was shocked! Well geez I took about 2 pictures of everything then you turned around and told me to take 2 more...it adds up.

Plus we have a disposable we have to take in since our flippin camera died when I went to take the first picture of St Peters Basilica....so upset! Because once we left to go buy one we couldn't get back in :(

But I have pictures of it however I'd have to contact my step dad to see if he kept that photo album. I really hope he did. I should ask my aunt to swing by and get it and mail it to me.

Well I just checked and 2 of the 5 condos that I was interested in are already booked so I need Mr. B to decide soon!

I really could be going to Kentucky for my family reunion instead of doing Destin but I just think Mr. B and I could use the alone time since all of our vacations area always with people (other then our honeymoon).

Then today my mother in law was booking our cruise for Xmas. So from the 19th-26th we'll be heading to Belize, Roatan, and Cozumel. It should be a good time and the deposit is only due now and the rest isn't due until November. So hopefully things pick up so we won't have to pull from savings.

I just really hope things pick up soon because I don't know if Mr. B will have a job by the end of July and that freaks me out since we're on his insurance!

The good news is that we saw gas prices had risen about 20 cents since we were gone but in order for that to change anything it needs to stay that way for the next couple of months to wear the oil/gas companies are making money so that other places are in business which means Mr. B is then renting and selling equipment to them.

We're fine financially but I really don't like not saving any money because his commission pays for our house note and whatever is left always went into savings. I was planning on having our one credit card paid off a lot earlier then that will happen...and with this re-finance deal.

I'm so over Region's honestly it's crazy. And I've been asking for a copy of the appraisal and funny how I haven't heard anything back. I find it odd that one guy (who Region's uses) said our house was worth 13k more then the other guy they had us use this past time. 13k is a huge difference and there are some inconsistencies they need to figure out. I want to the see the houses though because our house is like the smallest in the neighborhood but we have the lake and a larger lot them some so it evens itself out. I don't appreciate being well dicked around.

So I want the copy and raise hell but we're not re-financing with them and taking money out of savings for closing...that's just silliness. Our payment has already dropped 80 bucks switching insurance which is awesome!

Well I'll post pictures of our adventures tonight since Mr. B is out of town.

Reminiscing

So I loaded my Ipod with more cd's last night in preparation for our trip (T minus 43 hours). Well sometimes you just don't want to listen to the whole cd so I love the shuffle function. And boy are they bringing back some serious memories.

Like old boyfriends, college, Tampa...oh Tampa how I love thee...I swear if we ever get a chance to move somewhere else I would love Tampa. I think there is work for Mr. B there...but he'll never leave good ol' Louisiane!

I don't know you just know how some music takes you to a place and time...even the smell and taste? And you can remember exactly what you were thinking and feeling at that moment? Yah totally there with all kinds of music from James Blunt to Kenny Chesney.

Most of it brings up some pretty bitter times but you know I can honestly look back now and smile. Because I've learned a lot about life and about myself.

This post really doesn't have a lot of meaning haha but hey I was thinking this so I posted.

So Mr. B is driving me crazy with packing. He is a pack rat! I know he won't wear some of the bottoms he's bringing ugh.

What I do know is that I've gotten way to big for my britches...literally. A lot of shirts and pants/shorts don't fit me and I have no idea if I'll even have enough clothes. Maybe that will bet he perfect time to buy over there hehe.

But I have realized that even doing the DVD 4 times a week I'm just not going to see the results I want so when I get back especially since I now have an Ipod I'm joining the gym by my house so I can use the elliptical. I wish we had room for one at our house and I'd just do it there but no luck.

Well I'm going to end this thing before someone dies from boredom.

Oh and I miss Parle so much! It was so sad leaving him at Uncle Kevin's on Sunday. He was laying on the couch and just kind of looked at us like "Well where are you going now?" He has no idea it's going to be for 17 whole days. He's not going to remember us :( Well he will but I just feel so bad for him.

Oh well at least he'll have Mattox to play with and that will keep him company. I almost cried and probably will at some point.

Oh no a song just came on that reminded me of the horrendous ex that put his hands on me yuck. Skip!

Today's Talk

So I can't divulge too much for the sake of getting in trouble but I just wanted to talk about couples and marriages and fighting.

If you are that lucky couple that barely ever fights well that's awesome and not saying Mr. B and I fight a lot but generally we're going to get in a tiff or two a week. Nothing usually serious...that ones saved for once a month and because we're both so stubborn by the end of it we're laughing because we have no idea what in the hell we were fighting about anyways.

But as Mr. B and I were talking about some friends we were like why is it such a faux pas to talk about fighting. I mean if you tell someone "yah we got into this drag down knock out fight" your friends automatically say "oh no are you guys ok" their first thought is doomsville. Why can people talk about political affiliation or money which to me just isn't something that should be discussed with many folks due to the controversy but I can't say "Hey Mr. B was being a huge dick yesterday and I need to talk about this".....without being judged or gossiped about?

I mean couples fight. So I'm helping out a friend with an issue and her beaux was like well so and so don't fight...(which is completely wrong because how could they not since the girl is a complete and utter biznatch and he's a man with well no balls because the biznatch has them) but it's like why do we think some people don't fight and have the perfect marriage...is there such a thing?

But anyways the way some folks talk to each other just astounds and appals me. If Mr. B ever called me a curse word he'd probably get popped in the face...no lie....I'm not too proud to say I'll be the enforcer in the domestic violence case. all joking aside (and if you couldn't tell I was joking) we used to be pretty lethal when I just didn't know if we'd make it. Looking back it was the stress of a wedding and buying a house with issue after issue that escalated our hard times and lucky for us it only lasted about 2 months. But we said some nasty things...we then went on vacation and that was the best thing for us. We got away from everything and was able to find out why we fell in love with each other in the first place. And we talked about our fights and we set rules....that maybe funny to some but it has worked for us.

No FU's and no F off's! No name calling of any kind except Mr. B says I can call him an asshole. Which I don't use too often just for the juicy ones.

But I told him he can call me an asshole too haha.

But no other words. And if someone slips the other person immediately gets to say "you just said this to me and that's not right and we're not continuing until you apologize" and the person who said it already knew as that diarrhea of the mouth was coming out that they were wrong...and when we apologize we generally are much more rationale and can get whatever we're fighting about resolved.

But regardless do you think that in the future especially with marriage that it will work with name calling all the time? I think it will bring down someones self esteem so much that, that person will walk...

I just don't see the point. You wonder if it's really them not wanting to be together or staing in it because their old even if they don't want to.

I don't really have much of a point to this haha. But just thinking.

It's That Time Again

So everything was washed away in the dark hole of the Internet that I just wrote looking on how to do the darn strike through on here. Guess what?! I figured it out...aren't you happy?

Anyways so here's my confession...

I want a baby. I want to be a mommy so bad. Yes I'm only 24 years 9 months :) old but Mr. B is 32 going on 33 and I would really like 3 kids...and he's no spring chicken...heck I'm not either.

I just want to dive into that pregnancy pool and drink more water then a dehydrated dog in August in Louisiana!

The other night Mr. B and I were joking around and I said "Let's make a baby!" He just looked at me and started laughing....well hmphh I guess that means no.

And I think he'll be more open when we pay off the one credit card that will be June/Julyish. Then if he next few commissions are good we can pay off the other one and be Credit Card Debt Free.....say it with me everyone YIPEEEEEE! It's been such a long and strenuous road but we're finally there...the light at the end of the tunnel is almost blinding.

And we'd have things paid off a lot sooner if we didn't have that little wonderful thing known as Europe coming up! But you know what we're not going to pinch our pennies because it will most likely be the last time we get to go until our kids are about grown!

And if we don't spend as much as we thought then we'll come home and put that on the cards.

But then if he still isn't up for the baby making maybe I'll just trick coax him into the right direction with a Bottle of FireFly and some Miller Lite lot of love...:)

He says well we agreed that you wouldn't get pregnant during football season. Well I hate to break it to him but most likely I will be pregnant during some point of football season. I mean let's face it if LSU makes a bowl (which they most likely will make one) that would go to the end of December possibly early January. Then the first game of the season is usually Labor Day Weekend. Ummm well a baby takes 9 months sooo umm I'd either have to get pregnant the last week in December and have that baby a week before opening day!

I told him I'm already prepared to stay at home with the baby or take the baby with us tailgating for a bit (being responsible of course) and then going home to watch the game while he has fun.

And it would be best if I got pregnant this summer so that I wouldn't be full on in my 3rd trimester waddling around in this atrocious lovely weather in the summer. Now that's saying that if we did start trying this summer we'd be fortunate and lucky enough to conceive right away.

But I digress this baby talk has got me feeling like that annoying friend who just won't shut up about something you really have no interest in. HAHA

Well I just can't wait for our vacation. You know it's odd the closer our vacations get the more Mr. B and I fight. I think it's just because the vacations are always well deserved and long overdue and we're excited, and nervous about leaving work etc. But it really will be here before we know it.

I'm very thankful uncle Kevin has offered to watch Parle so we don't have to put him in the kennel. That just would've been way to long of a visit in there and I know he'll get walks and be able to play with Maddox too.

Well Mr. B had to go out of town today. Bummer but honestly he probably won't go out next week and then the following week he won't be able to since that's when we leave. So hey I can deal!

I just feel if you're still reading this you're hoping it's going to get better and quite frankly it's not hah so I'm going to put you out of your misery.

Outtie

Short and Sweet

Well I only have a few more minutes before I leave to go home for the day whoot...but once I get home I have to work out so eh.

This past weekend was fun. Our friend Kevin came in and brought his dog Maddox. Parle finally has learned how to play...well really it's "Hey Maddox (English Bulldog) try and get your slow fat ass to run as fast I me (has greyhound in him)...we'll basically do figure 8's sound like fun?! Whereas Maddox like's to rough house and play tug o war.

Saturday we did the back flower beds and even though it was hot they really look nice! I still have to get 2 more flowers since one of our beds turned out to be bigger then we thought and we have to buy pavers this weekend...plus I need to find a decorative hose holder thingy.

We then went to the Drunken Fish for dinner and it was surprisingly really yummy and fixed my Sushi craving.

Yesterday was a relaxing day and I made Cincinnati Chili which was yummers.

This week hopefully won't be too bad...we're eating two different kinds of leftovers today and tomorrow then I'll head to the store for the rest of the week.

And the capri's I had to take back to Kohl's of course they didn't have my size again so I think I'll have to order from the net. But I did buy a pair of jean capri's haha. But Mr. B of course got more. I don't know why he always says I get everything.

Well about 2.5 weeks til Europe I really can't wait! It's going to be so fun.

This post really is boring...sorry for whoever reads it..I'm just so tired I don't have an ounce of wittiness in me.

I'm out dudes
