Say Yes to the Dress?

My daughter is a full fledged D-I-V-A. She is so smart. Perfect curly hair not frizzy or too curly. Dances like a disco queen. And will be devastated when she finds out that her name really isn't Princess. She loves anything fancy, pink, fluffy, gaudy. Her fav words are OHHHla la and gorgeous. My princess is 2.

As girls we are always trying to be prepared. So, we have a big bash honoring Great Gpa's 90th birthday. Proof that the big G-O-D has to find the right space and time for my famdamily to meet up with him. Anyhoo, this party will be pretty fancy dancy. I need help deciding which dress will make her day. So take a look at how I spend my children's college education money...

I haven't shed the dough to buy the dress yet. So what do you think? PA lease let me know which one...

UPDATE- The Pottery Barn towels turned out to be very nice. I had to drink a glass of water after using it. It totally sucked any H20 from my body :) Must have forgotten to get the extra 36 pounds I'm rockin. Not $30 great but mos'def $10 great.

HAPPY 30 years young ( not really, prepare to hear your joints start a creekn) to my bff Awag tomorrow. Seems like you are headed toward having a great decade. Then we will be 40. Let's just stop here. Sorry to drop this on you, hard for me to swallow, at 30, you are too old for Bret Michaels,Hugh Hefner, American Idol and MTV's Real World. We can officially be victims of age-ism......Agh, the perks. Peace out. Word. Go to Mass.

Tune-it-down-tiger-you-are30-Thursday

We all have stuff that we would rather not live through. Puking,pooping kids/dogs, crazy drivers, sick family or friends, death of family or friends, our own ickynotfeely goodness, not nice people in general...the list could continue infinitely.

On several occasions..... I have thought how much more? Not necessarily why me? I do know that I am not THAT special to be spared the crap of life to land on my door step.

But good for you....I know why. I know why we have these moments or eras in life. I love to go to adoration at my church. Adoration is basically is taking time to sit in the presence of God. The peace is amazing. I don't go because I am such perfect example of a Godly person. I go because girlfriend needs to. Anyhoo...your answer, sitting on the edge of your chair...... here it be...

Ponder this..BTW.. I read this....not my own thoughts....

Why did Jesus die so horribly on the cross? Some may say to "repay" God for all of our sins. EH EH wrong. So, hold on to that if there is a " All God" section in Jeopardy. Jesus died his terrible death to show us all how to LIVE. How to LIVE during the crap storms of life. Nothing is perfect in this world. We all have our truly devastating, pull the rug and the hardwood floor from underneath you moments. But, its how we live through those times. We get hurt, we get hurt real bad. How we live is what brings us closer to God. The more crap that happens the closer to God you could become. If you make that a possibility for yourself. I have surrendered to letting God give me peace.

So now, I am off to go get me some.........PEACE that is. Off to adoration.

Try this today.... If you get drive thru food, buy the person's meal behind you. It's likely to be less than $5. A very little gesture but maybe that person needed something that day.

CONFESSION(im Catholic so totally great at confessing)- I did just that at Taco Hell last week. The lady thought I was nuts, it was a big mess because she couldn't get my credit card to work. The dude whose food I was buying, was pissed due to me taking so long. Then I got nervous because I thought he would totally think that I am a displaced fatty van driving mom who needed a fling. So I paid and got the hello out of dodge. I was crazy stressed and was worried that he took down my license plate number on my car. And somehow would track me down and do terrible things to me :)

That is why I am off to adoration. I need heaps of peace. The big G-O to the D sure knows it. Try the drive thru deal. Tell me how it went. Go to Mass. Bless you ;)

Shoop,Shoopa doop.....

Wowza! Already a question from a follower

" Just Me, you are a mom of 3, wife, full time worker, and now a stellar blogger. How do you do it?"

Well, reader (who I don't know who sounds awfully like i posed the question to myself) I attribute everything to THE MOST RAD POTTERY BARN TOWELS IN THE WA WA WORLD! So I did receive my pottery barn towels yesterday. I haven't had a chance to wash them or even use them...ARE YOU KIDDING. I have a husband. Which means I wasn't able to sneak them into the house, wash, and miraculously the towels would appear in the linen closet. The shock is much less to him when bought items just "appear." Any bags, or rustling of bags just sends him into a tizzy."How much did you spend?" with a disapproving look generally follows. I can just hear my buddy Bret Michaels making a faint "aaa -oooo" ( get well soon Brett-schkin... like munchkin with Brett in it, ) But the towels did make a great first impression.

Fake tans and fake lashes. Ok, maybe it sounds better as FAUX tans and FAUX lashes. I am all about it fo shizzle. In your twenties, yes, in my past, its ok to fake bake. Wrinkles who cares. WAKE UP. At thirty, we are the prime target for..ouch...sit down.. WRINKLE CREAMS. still hurts. waiting for it to go away. pain.pain.Grimicing causes more wrinkles. AHHH! With the impending fear of aging and dying of skin cancer, i have opted to spread chemicals over my body for that sun kissed glow.

The first product, Jergens glowsomething, worked great. Careful not to get it on ankles, elbows, hands... It looks really dirty. Like you need Bret to rub you down with some PB towels. Thinking that there was a better option I tried, the Neutrogena spray. Not so good. I look like I have a Micheal Jackson skin disorder. I have white and brown streaks everywhere. Longs sleeves all week. So back to Jergens it is.

La LA Ladies. You are simply missing out if you do not use faux lashes. Yumm. My nose has never looked hotter in between these lovely locks of lashes. I don't use strip lashes. I put in the individual lashes. So easy, SO cheap, so swank.They last for about 2 weeks. The strips I bet are easier but they are applied daily. Please try it. Drew Barrymore does, as stated in her lash blast mascara ad. You can be cool like me and Drew. Let me know how it works and if you want more tips.

Time to end for today. Stay tuned for Tune-it down, Tiger you are Thirty Thursday. Word to your mutha.

Bret Michaels

How do I love thee...let me count the ways......

You pucker your lips as if they beckon "Come Hither, my sweet"

You wear your bandanna( in several colors/patterns) to keep up with the fashion trends.

Stuck in the eighties? Heck no.... You have evolved the rock that you got to perfection.

Bret, get well soon. I can't imagine one less reality show with you not in it. I think your next show should be " Stroken' it with Bret Micheal's" Hey, I've been there so I can joke(Long story, great ending, catch it on DVD).

Anyhoo, Brettypoo, hope you get to feeling better. Ya know, since you read my blog and all.

So new blog, happy? I am sure my BFF Big A is so thrilled. She will check my blog everyday. Her blog better be scared. My blog will make her blog eat bologna.

Today I am awaiting the arrival of my brand new fluffy pottery barn towels. Said towels are to change my life more than the birth of my children? Not so, but i am told, close enough. I will have a full review soon. I wonder when my award will arrive for the" I am cool, I have pottery barn towels" club. I am certain that the awesome towels will make me prettier and skinny. Yippie!

There ya go. First post. Go to Mass. Peace out.
