manicure

so yesterday after work, i decided to treat myself and bluedotprincess to a manicure.  i love getting pampered and getting my toes or nails did is always a nice treat.  but there is just something that i hate about getting a manicure or pedicure...

now i don't know that they are making fun of me, but when you are sitting there and they are working on you and they are all talking in a different language to each other, i don't know, i get a complex that they are discussing me.

to add insult to injury while getting my nails did, my nail person says, 'oh, you get your eyebrow's waxed?'  well, i hadn't planned on getting them waxed, but in my mind i am thinking they have been discussing my poorly unkept eyebrows.  what do i look like a sasquatch?  at first i said no, then i said well why not, get it all over at one time!  then, then, you all this is so embarrassing...she says after she has waxed one eyebrow, 'you have hair on your lip, me wax too?'  well now i feel like i am truly a sasquatch! well i had to get it done too, i can't be walking around with a mustache, can i?

so i went in to get my nails done, feel relaxed and leave feeling pretty.  i leave with my nails looking really pretty, my eyebrows and lip waxed and red (flashing neon to everyone yes i was so hairy they had to rip it all out) and feeling like i was the hairiest person ever or a big idiot.

at least the redness and swelling is gone today.  my eyebrows do look marvelous, as well as my nails...and there is no hair on my upper lip, thank god!

hope you all have a great leap day,

flowers.

don't you love that awesome feeling of getting flowers delivered to you?  boy i do!  it has been a very long time since i have gotten flowers delivered to me at work.  bluedotdad sent these beaut's to me just because and quoted one of my favorite poems in the card...

so i have spent the afternoon gazing at them, smelling their fabulous scent and having random faculty and staff stop by to admire them too!  nothing beats the feeling of being made to feel special and i sure did need it today!

thanks bluedotdad, i love you!

thursday why are you being so mean?

i would like to say happy thursday to y'all, but thursday is acting like monday, boo! let me give you all a run down of my day and it is only 10am!

• bluedotprincess refused to get up
• bluedotprincess couldn't understand that putting clothes on was important this morning
• bluedotprincess didn't want to brush her hair
• bluedotprincess screamed like someone was murdering her while i brushed her hair
• bluedotteen stayed in the bed when i asked him to take the dogs out
• bluedotteen didn't check the alarm, when he finally got up about the 7th time i asked him
• bluedotteen opened the back door
• the alarm started blaring!
• bluedotprincess had a complete come apart
• the bluedotdoggies went berserk
• even after the alarm was turned off, bluedotprincess was inconsolable because the alarm scared her!
• bluedotprincess refused to eat her usual breakfast because she wanted chick fil a
• bluedotteen left the the bluedotdoggies outside in the rain
• wet bluedotdoggies plus bluedotmom who is ready to walk out the door equals a wardrobe change

and i don't even have the strength to tell you about work!

thursday please straighten up or i am going to start talking bad about you like i do monday, and i know you don't want that!

it's been a while, so let's have some hodgepodge

it's wednesday and i am linking up with joyce over at from this side of the pond and her wednesday hodgepodge...


1. George Washington-Abraham Lincoln-Thomas Jefferson...who would you most like to meet and why?
wow, i have never really thought about which one i would want to meet or why.  i can see neat reasons to meet one.  but for me if i had to choose one, it would be abraham lincoln.  i would want to know what it was like to make such radical changes in the country and stand up for the greater good while being vilified by 1/2 of the country. and since my husband has just finished abraham lincoln vampire hunter, i need to know if he is truly now a vampire!

2. What's your favorite chain restaurant?
olive garden...i love the og!

3. I spied this question on the Bears at Home blog last week and she gave me permission to 
steal borrow it-

When you look back on your life, do you imagine you'll think about the goals you failed to meet with regret? Or will you look at what you accomplished and say: it was good?

wow, deep question...i am a firm believer in that everything that happens in your life brings you to who you are at that moment.  i am living my life with a have no regrets attitude. it's all good!

4. Grapefruit-take 'em or leave 'em? Given the choice between an orange and a grapefruit which would you choose? Would you prefer it served as is or squeezed into juice?

i like them both, but 9 out of 10 times i would prefer the orange to the grapefruit.  i am not a big juice drinker.

5. When was the last time you cleaned out a closet? Is there a closet in your home that currently needs cleaning? What are you waiting for?

i cleaned out my closet about a month ago.  yes, there are always closets at my house that needs cleaning.  i just don't have the motivation to get started.  once i get going it is fine, but it is the getting going...

6. You get to have lunch with three famous people...who would you like to see round your table?

well those of you who know me well know that the number 1 person is george michael, swoon!

i suppose my number 2 would be adam levine, because i have fell in love with him on the voice

and my number 3 would be betty white, because she is all kinds of awesome!

7. On a scale of 1-10 how would you rate your ability to parallel park?

well, not knowing whether 1 is good or bad and vice versa, i will just say that i can parallel park well.  i don't especially enjoy parallel parking, but it's not the worst driving task for me.

8. Insert your own random thought here.

here's a random fact: If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle; if the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died as a result of wounds received in battle; if the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes. 


happy wednesday y'all,

happy valentine's day

happy valentine's blog world,

thank you very much thursday!

thank you very much thursday is brought to you because i need a lot little free therapy!

• to chick fil a a fast food restaurant thank you for serving bluedotdad a salmonella laced chicken salad sandwich.  there is nothing more pleasant than having a very sick husband!
• to the manager at chick fil a the fast food restaurant who told my husband that food poisoning would not show up for over 24 hours, you are an idiot!
• to procrastinators that i work with, thank you so much for always waiting until the last minute to do anything.  nothing makes me happier than to have your swoop into my office and demand that i process a po or check on demand.  i sit in my office twiddling my thumbs waiting to be at your beck and call.  and all those other teachers who actually follow the rules and are not demanding, i am sure they love your entitlement attitude too!
• to bluedotpup charlie, thank you for peeing on my white quilt...it didn't matter that i had just taken you outside to potty.  your waiting and peeing on my quilt just made me so happy.   i love cleaning up dog pee!
• to bluedotprincess thank you for dropping your ipod touch and shattering the screen and then proceeding to have a complete breakdown.  i love to console you when you are inconsolable and try to find out if apple care covers that or not.
• to bluedotprincess thank you for shrieking while i brush your hair in the mornings...my mornings are not complete unless you are screaming and shrieking.
• to the headache that refuses to leave...you have worn out your welcome, leave already!

well i feel some better now!
