Sunday Stealing: The 14 Question Meme

1. What do you consider your hometown to be? I was born in Wilkes Barre, PA and my mom's side of the family is still there, so I have been back there many of times in my 27 years of life but I spent my pre-teen and teenage years in Alabaster, AL so I consider both of them "home".


2. What’s the hardest part of your average day? Staying focused on homework.


3. The easiest? Why? Blogging or Facebooking, lol, because it's just so easy to "escape" in either one.


4. What beverage do you reach for to quench your thirst? green tea or flavored water


5. What is one not-so-secret goal you have for your life? I’ll let you keep your secret ones to yourself. To finish school.


6. What physical pain do you fear most? For example, I’m trying to decide how bad my jaw pain needs to get before I risk a potential needle from my dentist. So, for me, throbbing is preferable to jabbing. The pain of kidney stones.


7. Where do you find solace? In my bedroom lol


8. What makes you the saddest when you read/see the news? Anything related to death or war.

Saturday 9: Watching the Wheels

3. What's your favorite all time reality show? Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D List.


4. Do you feel "reality" shows are real or are they faked? I think a lot of them have stuff scripted into them for entertainment and ratings purposes. How little or how much varies on the show.

6. Ever seen a neon sign with certain letters burned out so that it said something unintended? I once passed a Waffle House who's neon sign said Waff Ho.


7. What gives you a headache? Could be a scent, a sound, someone's actions - anything. Excessive screaming.


8. What song, artist or album in your music collection would you pull out and play if you wanted to give your roommate/neighbors a huge, head-splitting headache? Britney Spears....only because I know how much they loathe her and that would make it much more interesting.


9. What do you do to relieve stress? Scrapbook, dabble in Paint Shop or anything else creative.

Eyebuydirect.com is AWESOME!

Mine and Sarah's Eyebuydirect.com order arrived in the mail on Monday. I can't put into words just how satisfied we are with our new glasses. We ordered during the buy one frame, get one frame free sale. Sarah got 4 frames and I got 3 frames since my lenses cost extra due to how strong my perscription is. For a total of 7 pairs of glasses, we paid $180!

I attempted to color my hair back to dark brown today, and it came out black! I'm kinda digging it. So, I'm gonna leave you with pictures of me wearing 2 out of 3 of my frames and my new hair :)

Halloween is OVER!

Sorry for the lack of updates lately. I've been pretty busy between Halloween festivities and midterms. It's about to get even more hectic between Thanksgiving, Christmas Shopping, Christmas and Christmas Break. Dear God, I almost panic thinking about it all!

We carved pumpkins a couple weeks ago. I think I had just as much fun as the kids did! I had never actually carved a pumpkin myself. I had always watched my dad carve them each year. Unfortunately, our pumpkins didn't last until Halloween :(

Richard's Pumpkin. Awesome isn't it? It got dubbed the Thundercats Pumpkin lol

My Pumpkin. I chose one of the easiest designs in the book because I was scared of messing it up.

Sarah's Pumpkin

Mel's Pumpkin

Zack's Pumpkin

BB's Pumpkin

A better shot of my pumpkin.

We did our Trick or Treating here on Saturday. We had a total of seven kids between ages 2 and 9...they had a BLAST! We're all worn out and tired from the weekend, but it was all worth it. Sarah's sister, Hannah, did my face make up and it came out so so beautiful!

It's a tough job, but someone's gotta do it!

A work in progress...

All done!

Now, it's on to Thanksgiving!
