My mother... the Comedian

About a month ago my mom was out running errands and she brought me home some doughnuts from the best doughnut place ever "Daylight Doughnuts". Ever since that day, whenever she comes home from running errands i ask her where my doughnut is, as a joke. Well, she came to me the other day and said "don't you have something you would like to ask me"? I said yeah, where is my doughnut, and she presented me with this big box. I told her i only needed one and she said there is only one in there and she walked off snickering. When i open the box i was astonished at how big this doughnut was. She yelled from the other room "that should shut you up for a while" It was at least 2" deep and 7" wide. HUGE! I took the picture with the box, a normal 12 dozen doughnut box, so you can see how big this monsterous thing really was. She cracks me up!

Fall Flowers

Marshall bought this card from my cousin for a fund raiser she was doing for the PGHS cheerleaders. What it is, is each month you get a bouquet of flowers from a local florist. You just take the card in and each month is something different. Well, it started in October and this was the bouquet i got. I LOVE daiseys, they are my favorite flower, but more specifically, daiseys with white pedals and a yellow center. Love them. Anywho... this is the "assorted daisey arrangement" i think they are cute and i love fresh flowers in my room, it really brightens my day. Marshall is so cute when it comes to things like this. He gets me flowers at the most random times and i love him for it. When we were at my cousin Kryshelle's house for her birthday and Brykelle (my other cousin) presented the card to him he didnt even hesitate, i think it was because he knows how much i love getting flowers. And I mean come on, how many girls do you know that get flowers EVERY month from their signifigant other? So 2 thumbs up for Marshall! I can't wait to see what November's flowers are ;o)

The End

So, i have gotten a few questions about how the epilation turned out. One word... FABULOUS!!! I love love love it! I have successfully done my entire legs, my arms (not all the way, i just wanted to look less like a gorilla but not look like i shaved my arms. It was a success), and well, now my armpits. I think the pits were the most painful... I figured out a few techniques that helped. 1. pull the skin tight for better results. 2. dont use the protective head, go raw baby it works a ton better. 3. It hurts less if you do it in the tub or shower. So, after that is said. It is nearly impossible to do your armpits alone because they cave in. Well, my mom got selected to be my lucky helper. She would pull the skin tight while i epilated. She is funny. She kept getting sick to her stomach because she could feel my skin pull a little as it was plucking. Then she almost started crying because she didnt like to see me in so much pain, even though it was totally self conflicted. She is adorable. Well, we finished successfully, it took about 30 minutes, and i paused a TON because it hurt so so so bad. But it looks great and we will see how they grow back. I am excited about the epilator now, i will probably never go back to a razor on my legs. We will see about the armpits later, depending on how much grows back and how quickly ;o).
