Happy Bday Blue Mhoon! (2 months ago)

How do you celebrate your brother turning 34?
.....Take him to Fast Lanes for a bowling suprise party, of course! I realize this was about 2.5 months ago, but I never said I was the most punctual person. Happy Birthday, Blue!

Woops, forgot to take a before photo.

Blue, bowling seriously. Only way he knows how.

My Dream CAN Come True!

So, I was googling and thought "hmm, I wonder if there really is such a thing as pickled lip gloss? because then my life would be complete" Guess what, there is and I can make it. It looks like it might be a little difficult to find some of the ingredients, but farely simple to make. Here is what I will attempt. Please let me know if you have suggestions on where to find any of the ingredients. Oh yeah, and I also came across this website, which might be one of the strangest blogs I've run into.

Dill Pickle Lip Gloss
Makes 4 1/3 oz. Roll-On Bottles


Ingredients
2 teaspoons Glycerin
1/4 ounce Grape Seed Oil
1/4 ounce Cucumber Seed Oil
10 drops Dill Seed Essential Oil
1 - 2 drops Liquid FD&C Blue #1
2 - 4 drops Liquid FD&C Yellow #5

Directions
In a small paper cup, mix the Glycerin and Liquid Dyes together, to create a lovely shade of green. In a second cup, mix together the Grapeseed Oil, Cucumber Seed Oil, and Dill Seed Essential Oils. Carefully Pour the Glycerin Mixture evenly between four 1/3 oz. Roll-On Bottles. Next, pour the Oil mixture between the four bottles. Cap the bottles, then shake well. The mixture inside the bottles will separate, creating a lovely, two layered appearance.

easter-egg-hunt-Race '09

So, Blue and I are 34 and 27 respectively, and our mother STILL hides Easter eggs for us to hunt. Through the years it has evolved into more of a contest/RACE, due to our competitive nature. I honestly couldn't tell you when or why the started (more like "never ended"); but it's AWESOME! I highly recommend it if you think you are on the verge of getting old and boring. Happy Spring!

Blogger bitten twice shy, I'm back!

Greetings! I have decided make a come back. Aren't you excited!? (I think I'm only speaking to those 2 people that still see if I might have a new post up b/c I know most people have given up, including myself) I have all my blogs bottled up and ready to pop the blog top open again! Stay tuned for unbelievable posts.....well, at least frequent posts, which to me, IS unbelievable. Judd, this one goes out to you. Sorry I am still trying to figure out HOW to flip the video...

Tamal-wiis!

Well today is my last day of "vacation". I had a blast the last 2 1/2 weeks. Got to see some awesome basketball (go hogs!), hung out with the greatest friends I could ask for, drank lots of wine, wii'd, had tamale's, had Christmas, New Years, saw my family, and chilled with jay. Here are a few pics of the last few weeks. Back to real life tomorrow.
