Deepest, Darkest Secret

Now everyone has they're secrets.

Maybe you pick your nose. Whatever. I won't judge.

Maybe you eat ice cream out of the container. Still, no judging here.

Drink milk out the jug and then put it back?... ok a little judging.

Everyone has they're secrets. Well I have a secret that nobody knows.

I put curlers in my hair. Foam, bright colored, old lady curlers. Now, no one has seen this sight. I even made sure that the hubby was gone. But, I did snap one, face obscured, wet haired picture.

Don't judge. I didn't judge you.

I'm going to rant about them now because after all, talking is therapeutic. After having above pictured rollers on my hair for an hour my hair was no closer to being dry as when I got out of the shower. I tried to blow dry them but you can only hold a hair dryer to your scalp for so long before it feels like it just might catch on fire. Also, I'm pretty sure I don't know how to put them in correctly. This was the first time I used them so my technique has something to be desired.

So my theory is that if I had left them on long enough for my hair to try, actually left the bathroom and walked around the house (I'm petrified someone might see me in them), my hair would be lovely and wavy curls, instead I got unruly waves. I guess now that it's on here I can at least walk in the living room with them. I still say that it will snow in Gilbert before I sleep in them or step outside in them. They are a styling tool never to leave the confounds of my house and they should not be worn long enough for the hubby to wonder if I lost my sanity.

I realize that I've been slow on posting but I've had a major life change. I can't tell on here just yet because not everyone in my family knows and I think they'd be a tinsy bit upset if I divulged this secret here before they knew. So, if I did not blind you with my rollers then next post will have some good news!

  1. I totally wore those all the time when I was younger. I DID sleep in them though and that was the only way I could get them to dry completely. HOWEVER, if you let you hair dry partially aside from the smaller piece like front layers or bangs and then put them in, they tend to dry faster and curl better then having them in since it is soaking wet. Also, spritzing a little hair spray into the hair before rolling them up helps too. And yes I'm sure I'll be judged for this as well;) I wish I still had mine some days, they're the only thing that keeps a curl in my hair when it's short.
    P.S. Can't wait for the good news...whatever it may be;)

  2. Ok, I'm not the only one then! Those are some awesome tips :) thanks! I bought them at Ross for like 6 dollars or something.

    I'm learning I should have prefaced the news, I'm not pregnant. Just exciting news in our life :)

2 Year Anniversary

May 15th is our anniversary. For out two year anniversary we went to the Grand Canyon. It really couldn't have been greater. Here are some of the pictures from this past weekend. This was our cabin and the view from our window We learned how to lasso and saw tadpoles Relaxed and enjoyed the view I do have some travel tips for you. If a place if called "Out of this World", you really should stop and try their food. Eat a burger, take a picture, order a cake (try to be better than me and snap a picture before you scarf it down), also, order a pizza to take back to your room. It'll be worth it. Trust me.

Pake

When did life change so much? One kid become two? Stay at mom become stay at mom and worker? Errands become errands and more errands because they are never finished? Seven become seven and eleven? Wait... I may have gotten a little off track with that last one. Life is always so crazy it seems that one you finally get used to it, something changes. That's what pake is. Something you're not used to but it can totally work. A pake: half pie, half cake. Don't worry, we're not talking apple pie with frosting. It's a pie crust with red velvet cake and cream cheese frosting. Now this is a learning lesson. The original recipe I used is from  Lifetime . It was originally made on a show called "Drop Dead Diva". Total chic show but it was fun. The only thing it that whatever world they cook in, cakes rise several inches. Here in the normal world? Not so much. I've modified the recipe slightly below. Ingredients: Pie Crust - Either make your own or ...

Cookies for Two

A lot of you are gearing up for Christmas baking. Personally? I'm not so sure I'm going to do it. Some of you may think that's absurd but I'm thinking it just might be practical this year. I work remotely from home, no workers to give cookies to. No holiday party at work this year, no platter of baked goods needed. I only know a couple neighbors and I actually don't know their names. We just smile and say hi and wave. Plus, of the family that's coming over, only a few of them eat sweets. But lets be honest, can a 31 week pregnant lady go an entire holiday season without treats? No! What this means is that I will be trying lots of "Two Person" recipes. I can't promise you that I won't eat both servings but I can promise it's good news for you! Here is our first recipe: Cookie in a Cup: Makes one mug 1/4 cup flour 1 tbl butter 1 tbl sugar 1 tbl brown sugar 1 egg yolk (if you like egg white omelets you could save the white) 2 ...
