The lame weather has me daydreaming of whimisical visions. Wondering how Alice felt going down the rabbit hole....ruby slippers and emerald cities...tea parties and colorful petit fours. My imagination has been running wild lately, think I should do some doodling!

I feel like most people have had it with 2009 and are ready for a new year.

With that being said, I wish everyone health, wealth and happiness in 2010.

I hope everyone has a great night, no matter what your plans and please be safe if you do go out.

Love ya!!

Call it what you will, dragon rock, viking metal, retro metal, but I love it.

Fireball Ministry, The Sword, Mastodon, Rainbow, Deep Purple, etc.

Makes my imagination run wild. Castles in the clouds, rainbows, unicorns, wizards, and giant monsters of the deep.

I used to wear perfumed oils when I was younger and recently re-discovered how much I love them again. Wearing them makes me feel exotic, spicy and sultry. 

My thoughts on the first samples from 'Carnival Wax'.

-Sugarwitch was sweet and vanilla-y. I smelled like a giant sugar cookie all day.
-Gypsy was smokey, nag champa notes and woodsy. This one was potent.
-Evil Sinner was powdery, smokey and soft.

Just in:

Dreabilly- smoke and dried wood. sugar and orange blossoms.
Blue Violet- pale blue violets and red raspberry, earthly vetiver and warm vanilla
Funhouse- wild southern grapes, sweet summer peaches, under current of coconut musk

I feel like such an old woman, it's almost 7pm and I could go to bed, except that I promised a friend I'd stop by for a quick visit tonight. Work has been pretty crazy, along with get togethers and holiday related things.  I don't feel like I've had time to stop the past 2 weeks.
 
.....

Wish I had some pretty holiday photos to post, but I haven't decorated for the holidays. Hmm, and I wonder why I can't get into the holiday mood!?

I am looking forward to a wonderful Christmas morning breakfast with my husband and his family at our place. Mmm, pancakes.

I finally ordered bath/ shower goodies from LUSH. I recently tried their body butter which is used IN SHOWER and I loved it! Didn't have to moisturize once out of the shower. They gave me a sample of deodorant and I loved it too. (I have to use 'clinical strength' deodorant, but the LUSH stuff kicked ass!) Bonus is that it's all handmade, all natural, vegetarian ingredients, little or no preservatives and packaging. 

- Happy Hippy shower gel, grapefruit scented 
- Olive Branch shower gel, mandarin, bergamot and lemon scented
- several scented shower fizzies
- Aromarant deodorant scented w/ sandalwood and lemon
- Schnuggle body butter scented w/ lavender, chamomile, ginger and sandalwood.

I'm going to smell delicious!

Saw KISS perform Friday night and it was AMAZING! What a performance! Fireworks, flames, fake blood, flying over the audience, all the glitz and platform boots you can handle. Paul Stanley defnitely outshined Gene, but both were great.

Got my samples in from Carnival Wax, think I'll try one tomorrow. I just love the dark, carny-themed art on her site and products.
Sugarwitch- juicy lemons and tangerines, sugarpie and wildwoods
Evil Sinner- essence of the Black Sea, churchwood and dripping honey
Gypsy- exotic woods, egyptian incense, red musk

It's been so long since I've updated...seems to be an on-going theme these days. Life is good, work has been busy, family is crazy and wonderful as ever and the beat goes on.

I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving, this was my least stressful one in several years. YEA!
I'm proud to say I've already done a little Christmas shopping, and for once I'm ahead of the game.

I've been re-visiting a long time fascination/ obsession of mine.........CARNIVALS!!! Ever since I was a kid, I loved the rides, the squeals of delight, the colorful lights, the sugary treats and sideshows. They made me feel mysterious, curious and adventurous. I haven't been to a fair or carnival in years, but plan on changing that come 2010.



This website makes me happy, happy, happy. Too bad it's all incredibly pricey...but I think I can swing a few samples. ;) http://www.carnivalwax.com/

Let's see how honest my friends are...leave a one word comment that you think describes me. It can only be one word. Then copy & paste this in your journal so that I may leave a word about you.

Two words.

STEEL PANTHER.

A hairband, making fun of hairbands. From the big hair, spandex to power ballads, and make-up.

Go listen for a funny, tongue-in-cheek laugh. 

P.S. I'm not saying it's good, just a good laugh.

Instead of wallowing in sad feelings about things I have no control over, I've decided to keep myself busy when not at work. 

I've never had much of a green thumb, but a few months ago was toying with the idea of trying to maintain some potted flowers. 

After sweating my tits off at the gym, I came home and swept the entire back patio. Then headed to Lowe's and got two 12" pots and two 6", potting soil and seeds. I got a wildflower mix to attract butterflies and hummingbirds (my grandmothers favorite!), a cypress vine which has white, trumpet blooms and moonflowers which have white, fragrant blooms. I had to germinate the seeds in water overnight but it's on today!

I'm thinking of getting a hummingbird feeder as I have great memories of my Grandma and I standing at her kitchen window for for hours, staring at the beautiful hummingbirds. Although, I can't remember the last time I saw a hummingbird around these parts? Too hot maybe?

I know she will be tickled to hear of my gardening adventures. She always maintained a beautiful backyard full of varieties of roses, hibiscus and other pretty plants.

Can't wait to be elbow deep in dirt later today!

and silly!  My 5pm mens cut asked me to give him the "Larry Cut" from the 'The 3 Stooges' and he was serious. Ask and ye shall receive! 

At times in my career thus far, I have had to re-direct people io make a different choice if they ask for something that isn't best for them or their hair.  Honesty is best when it comes to the hair folks. Once it's gone, it's gone for a while.

I will do ALMOST anything someone asks of me when it comes to haircuts if I know they mean business. He meant business, and had me laughing the entire time.  Of course he's coming back in on Thursday to shave it off completely, but in the mean time, he thought he'd do something fun before his "summer cut" aka the cue-ball aka shave that shit off.

It's people like this who make me love what I do even more.

........

I've been making an effort to update more often, even if it's random crap like this.

On another random note, it's fucking hot outside. Kinda hate it, not going to lie. I've lived in TX all my life and I swear, it gets hotter every summer! Sno-cones are a MUST this weekend or I'll freak out. (I didn't get my sno-cone fix last summer)

Is it August yet?

For one of these:

I want one real bad!!!

It's good to have wishes and wants I suppose. *wonders for a split second how much money is on the credit card

Have I mentioned today how annoyed I am that on yet another day off I'm spending some of it taking care of everyone elses shit? I haven't had a day off to enjoy doing what I want in weeks. I can feel the anger rumbling in my gut...maybe I should try and hit the gym so I don't send my hubby's head rolling? And yes I believe you can love someone till the bitter end but still want to choke them from time to time. ;P

And you can be my sugar, be my cherry cola!

I've been having another music fixation lately, bands such as; Eagles of Deathmetal, Fireball Ministry, Ted Nugent and Queen.  My inner trashy, 70's chick in tight pants, sky-high wedges with feathers in her hair is dying to emerge.

I've recently treated myself to some goodies.....can't go wrong w/cupcakes and barbie!goodies )

I'm proud to say that I'm still maintaining my almost 13 lb. weight loss. Woo!  I am still in some disbelief that in some brands/lines of clothing I am able to fit into a size 4.  But in others I'm wearing anywhere from a size 5-7.  It's all just numbers really, but it does make me feel pretty damn good.  To my knowledge I've never been a size 4.

Last week I ordered 2 pairs of custom low-top Converse....so excited to get them in! One pair I made lime green, purple and black and got the word MONSTER (the colors remind me of Frankenstein!) down the heel stripe. The other pair I made black and red and had the word EL DIABLO put on the outer, lower side. So cute!

I've been online all day haggling w/some dude about selling my CR-V. He first emailed me saying he would give me 13k (what I still owe) for it. The nerve! Gotta give him credit for trying though. When he realized that wasn't going to happen, the haggling started...not that I blame him. However, considering it's almost 2 years old and less than 15k miles, better than good condition and fully loaded w/leather seats, moon roof, etc. I have to set limitations.

My 31st bday is in 15 days...I feel like I just turned 30!

I'm so not ready for my work week to start tomorrow. Ugh.

Leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember. Don't send a message, leave a comment on here. Next, re-post this in your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses.

even today and after. The hubby and I were being all bitchy with each other earlier. As always, we kissed and made up. What can I say, I love the turd! ;p

Been feeling a little under the weather the past few days....allergies possibly turning into a sinus infection or upper respiratory, hopefully neither but I'll see how I feel tomorrow. 


Finally remembered to order Kat Von D's book, 'High Voltage Tattoo'. The book itself looks beautiful with a padded, cloth cover and parchment paper pages. Not bad for $20!
I find that people either love or hate her.  What can I say, she's inked, talented, beautiful and a fellow Pisces, I'm in love.
