The house hunt is....going, thats about all I can say for that one. I know, I'm not allowed to whine. I know, I know I know...it can take months to find *the* one. But seriously, when you have stepped foot into the house you want, and you realize you can't have it because of a stupid technicality, well it sets the standard for all other houses and the effort feels wasted and well,...wasted.
The obvious truth is, I don't have time right now. On the flip side, while I'd love to just quit, each day I'm reminded of how incredibly tiny this house is, and how I'd rather suffer through house after house and house listing than ever consider just making due here. I did that for as long as my brain was able to convince me otherwise, but now its time to move on. Anyways, today's reason for having my big girl panties in a wad would be the home builders I looked into today. Apparently they missed the *the economy sucks* memo that everyone else got, because their prices did not reflect that in the slightest. I was appauled at not only the starting prices of these homes (which A. were not THAT big, and B I think they were actually lying about square footage, seriously) but the add ins you had to do on them. Ex: Window sills. Yes thats right WINDOW SILLS. Thats not standard in these houses, its EXTRA...so if you don't add them in you get a dry wall finished frame around your window. Wow thats high quality. (for the starting price of $175K!)
Ok, stepping down off the house subject now, its seriously depressing me LOL.
What do the number 75 and cupcakes have in common?? Give up? Thats how many I get to bake for this weekend's birthday party lol, yeah. In an attempt to save money once again I got box cake mix and frosting on a huge sale last week and since I have a ton of cupcake papers (from my first time visiting Gordon foods...love that store!) I figured eh, why not. So that is what Saturday will be spent doing. I actually love to bake, I'll just have to really watch myself and not eat any, easier said than done (mmm just a lick please? :P LOL). I'm doing really good on diet/exercise, I have not been on a scale in over a week but I've gone down another 1/2 pant size because I got my new goal jeans on today yay!!!!!! I am not allowed on the scale again until mid feb, It was getting out of hand so I decided to do away with it...so far so good.
Hair cut! Yep..I did it and i loooove it!! My Ash hooked a sister UP like she always does. I got a sharp angeled bob, my hair is a dark auburn and I've got super dark brown low lights, i love it. I might have her stack it more in the back next time, its a little longer than I wanted in the back only, but it still looks great, and is so much easier than the long hair was. I will get a pic up, it needs to be shared ;) I posted one on FB, but it's from my phone and is too grainy.
I'm looking forward to the rest of this week, my mid kids are so excited about the party Sunday, and I'm putting some serious $ down on my back/shoulder tatt friday most likely. I can't wait to see Bri's mock up, if he gives me a copy I'll post that too, but the truth is, I suck at posting pics....trying to be better though and actually do it when I say i will lol.
Well, the 8 are in bed and I'm off to play some Wii boxing and then get to bed early, I'm meeting my good friend Steph at the gym tomorrow night. I usually workout alone so having a buddy should be fun. Oh and I'll also have the pics she look of Scarlett a few week back, can't wait to share :) Lettie is seriously the cutest thing EVER....seriously, she is, I'll prove it lol. bye now!! <3
