Veet, It Does Work!

Hey everyone, I apologize for teh delay! My internet company is very squirrely and therefore I had none for almost a week! TEARS! But thankfully, I finally have it and I'm back!

I feel rather old today. My baby brother graduated high school this morning. I remember when I graduated both high school and college. It's going by so quickly I feel I can hardly keep up sometimes. I'm wondering if, when I become certified, if I will be participating in my student's graduations. I'd more than likely cry at every single one; I'm emotional like that. I'm that same person that cries at weddings too!

As for the product of choice today, I was thinking about summer time. What do women hate to do but have to do it especially during the summer? Remove the leg hair! I don't always feel like shaving and I was curios about hose hair removal creams. I tried nair and that failed me big time. I have thicker hair, and the instructions say to leave it on there if you need to for up to 10 minutes and I did. My hair refused to obey and needless to say, I was back to the good ol' Venus Embrace. I did decide to try again, and this time to my surprise a product worked. I've put up a link, thanks to amazon, so you can see my miracle worker. I knew to leave it on for 10 minutes and then step into the shower. The one thing I wasn't counting on was the water pressure of my new showerhead. It took off the cream immediately. Here I am thinking NOOOOOOOO!!!!! I use the lil' pink scrapper the best I can even though the cream is gone. Some of the hair is gone. I wake up a few hours later and find that its all gone and my legs are smooth. I'm quite impressed! I will definitely be buying this again! It's also a great idea for when you're traveling and don't want to deal with razor blades and the risk of cutting yourself. Try it and let me know what you think!

bandzed? pun intended

That entertains me alot more than it should. It's kind of like the new pogs. Remember those? The lil milk cap game where you stacked them and hit them with a slammer to see how many you could turn over? We used to trade and collect those back when i was in elementary school.I had at least a hundred of them and i even had cool bright and glittery cases for them too.I These bracelets though seem alot cooler, even the high school kids and college kids have been seen sporting them. I may not understand the coolness factor of it but when my 8 year old niece handed me a silly band that was in the shape of an owl i couldn't say no. These are so cool! Thanks to amazon for the image. They go on your wrist but when you pull them off they go right back to whatever shape they are, i.e.: a fish, dragon, bandaid... Why must all the cool trends come out once you're old?

Sad huh?

shoes!

For many of us females we just love and appreciate shoes. I, my good friends, have found a pair i would LOVE to have. http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog_name=FOREVER21&category_name=footwr_dressy&footwr_style=&footwr_size=8&footwr_color=&footwr_price=&product_id=2000001239&Page=1

You're looking at me funny, or understanding me completely. For one who speaks Japanese, these are perfect! I would love to wear these! Alas, the money supply is short thanks to a very small paying job and tons of bills. I am a wishful thinker, hoping one day those shoes shall be on my feet! The patterns remind me of bento boxes, chop sticks, and umbrellas. Another dream is to actually visit Nippon itself. I've been eyeing pictures of Himeji Castle from textbooks too long and would prefer to see it in person, rather than a photograph. The link to the left at least can show you a glimpse of what I'd like to see for myself. For those of you that have been there, I'm a bit jealous!





Jaa, mata ne! 

Do the Wave

While standing awkwardly in Walmart, i'm gazing at the wall of acne products. How am i supposed to know which one will work for me? I check the backs of the bottles looking at how much salicylic acid is in each one. I've been battling cystic acne for years; it comes with the territory of having polycystic ovarian syndrome. What i've discovered is the land of Neutrogena products. So far, i'm quite impressed with how good the lil purple wave i have works. I bought the new one with 2 speeds and it really does feel like its cleaning out my pores. They have different pads for different skin types as well, and it's small enough that it makes life easier on the go. Think about it. No more risk taking, putting a bottle in a plastic bag and praying nothing ruptures either the bottle and/or the bag( or even worse; both!) I like this too, because then it can come with me on a long airplane ride and i don't have to sacrifice something else in place of face wash. I say this product is worth it so far!

Also I really want to read Molly Ringwald's new book, plus there is a book about Kate, Prince Will's girlfriend and that has my curiosity piqued as well. Both are on sale at Target but alas, rent comes first! What are you reading right now?

article published!!!

here is my article that was chosen along with several others about giving back on a popular fashion site i follow!!! ^_^

WARMING UP:

I actually do a lot for many different people but the thing I enjoy the most coincides with my fave hobby; crocheting. There are literally tons of charities all across the country that gladly take handmade goods and distribute them to those in need. A familiar sounding one is Caps for Chemo, where people make hats and send them in to chemo patients so they have something warm to cover their heads while in treatment. Another charity collects squares to stitch blankets together for our soldiers across the sea that don't have loved ones here at home.

When I was in college, I was a part of a local knitting and crocheting group at my friend's church. Every Christmas we put up a Christmas tree and we covered it with everything wearable that we made over the year. At Christmas, the goodies were boxed up and given to a local charity like The Battered Women's Shelter. When I graduated college, I decided to keep doing that and I mailed the church my box of goodies I'd made over the year.

My mom's church had a new youth minister about a year ago and he helps out people in South America that are extremely impoverished. I decided that on his trips I would send down the goodies I'd made for those in need. I figured out that I didn't have to send a box back to my college town but that locals could use my help.

Eventually the youth minister left my mom's church and I joined my dad's church instead. I've found out what I really prefer. They have a homeless ministry where they go and help out homeless people that they see while driving around. I make blankets with all of my leftover yarns and I also make hats and scarves as well for my minister to pass out. The only hard part is that police are chasing these poor people down and any of them caught holding a sign are taken to jail and then thrown right back out on the streets. They need to be shown kindness. I know that the homeless need everything they can get and I know that with a blanket they can have something warm and know that somewhere, someone thought of them.

what do you think??? ^_^*

exhausted!

I have been going like a madwoman all week! ive made 17 chokers and a pair of flip flops plus 3 hats. Its crazy! ive got so many ideas i'm just working non stop on them. I received a commission for 5 beanies complete with the puffy ball on top and ive started on those too! one is done and the next one is on the loom in progress. ^_^ i'm trying to get as much done as i can for the comicpalooza event i will be attending at the end of march! i'm so excited! my friend lisa and i are going to split an area and set up shop. There will be all sorts of things to see so i'm crossing my fingers we are put in a good spot! I need to make some money! text books arent cheap!

the weather here has been something else. it snowed again! and now its back up to like 60 something. yay houston, if you dont like the weather wait 5 minutes. lol

i feel like a complete idiot. i signed up to help my church and was so worn out and tired from work last night i slept right through it. AUNGH. last night was awful. i was on teh road driving til a lil after 8 then i switched over to manager and much chaos. I had to save labor so i had to send people home and i still had late orders. my poor driver was out til 12:15. That left me inside to do all my closing manager duties plus clean the entire store, including all the dishes and such. We finally got everything clean and we left at 1:40 am and i got home after 2. I never have to stay that late! =( but at least it was extra time on teh clock that i needed!

I also subbed yesterday and that was just great. I dont speak a word of spanish but thats where they needed me and i felt so bad for the kids. they kept asking me for help and i couldnt figure out anything. they were on a shorter bell schedule with a pep rally and all the teacher left them was a quiz. after they finished they were telling me stories, it was great. they had me laughing the entire time. Its days like that taht keep me sane and on track for me becoming a teacher myself!

best thing about easter candy? CADBURY CREME EGGS! *JOY* they have the orange creme ones my favourite! *MAJOR HAPPY DANCE*

im currently reading teh time travelers wife. i dont want to see the movie until ive finished the book.

ive seen gamer and law abiding citizen both of which were more entertaining than i thought theyd be. zombieland was funnier than i thought too.

i cant believe its already about to be march!

*psst click on the ads pls k thx*

my cat is in love with my bath towel. i put it on my couch and she started going crazy rubbing her head and face all over it. i didnt want to take it away from her it was pretty funny to watch her so i just got a different one from my cabinet. cats are highly entertaining. especially when they're a bit on the "special" side.

i'm sorry i havent updated this more often like i thought i would. i always have the ideas and such to write some interesting comments and then i get distracted by ideas and off i go. I'll try to be better!

AUNGH

hey^_^ so i hate att, this is my rant. My old phone dies so i go to att back in july to get a new phone since tehy refuse to warranty it or replace it and the guy is all flirty and asking to keep my number, which annoys me greatly and is distasteful, and he tells me since i work for a certain group i can get a discount and the only way to get a cheap phone is to add a line, but that my discount will take care of that and my phone plan will still be 73.82 a month. HA! the jerk switches me toa bigger plan WITHOUT my consent and when i got my bill and wen back and confronted them they refused to do anything about it and told me to deal with it. ive talked to other stores and gotten the same run around adn customer service? HA! thats a laugh, they dont want to help me either. now they shut my phone off telling me i didnt pay my bill which is $120 btw NOT 73, and here i am holding my receipt from january 13th saying i DID pay and that oh yeah, the next bill isnt due til feb 23rd. I"M so livid right now. i'm majorly considering getting tmobile like my dad and fam.

i just finished change of heart by jodi picoult which is a great read! i'm now reading the time travelers wife. =D

i'm working on several projects atm. one is doing collage bracelets, another is crocheting over flip flops, i'm making a shawl to trade a friend for a bracelet and a pair of earrings she's made (the earrings are mom's bday present!) ive got 3 blankets in progress and several chokers @_@ my living room is a mess. LoL. ah well.
