Be-dazzling



Ok, so as many of you know, I love sparkly things... At work I have a bedazzled tape measurer, my cell phone is bedazzled, and I am constantly looking for bedazzled items when I am out and about. A few months ago, I was at Garden Ridge and I found a bedazzled stapler, scissors, and tape dispenser. I know, I know, I should have bought them right there on the spot, but I figured, "I should tell people about these and let them know they are great gifts to give me!" Because I am always stumped when people ask me what I want for my birthday/Christmas. WELL, I am so mad right now because I can't find them anymore!!! If anyone sees stuff like that, will you let me know! I really want them!!!




Why, do you ask, don't I bedazzle these items myself? Well, let me fill you in on a little story that happened about 3 months ago... You see, in additon to my love for bedazzling, I also love sleeping pills, Ambien CR especially. So, one night, I figured I would have trouble sleeping, so I took an Ambien around 7:30 pm (mind you, these pill kick in approx. 30 min after you take them, so I probably didn't need to really take it until 9:00-9:30ish, ooops.). I had been toying with the idea of sprucing up my brand new Sprint Instinct M800 (the Sprint version of the iphone), and a light bulb went off in my head! Why don't I get out my old scrapbooking stuff and bedazzle my phone? It should be super easy! So, I set to the task at hand and soon realized that it was much harder to glue the 1 millimeter rhinestones in a perfectly straight line. Never mind the disaster of glue that I left behind! And did I mention that I took an Ambien an hour ago? I giggled to myself at the horror that was my "bedazzled" phone. Also, I forgot to mention that I got really sleepy for some reason? So I stopped about a quarter of the way through.




Needless to say, I ended up getting a new phone because I accidently "broke" my other one (it was a hideous sight and I conveniently had insurance). I then decided to search the internet for pre-bedazzled phone covers and now, whah-la!

New Car!

I bought a new car last night!!! After test driving both the Nissan Altima Coupe and the Honda Accord Coupe, I knew that the Accord was the one for me. It was very sporty, yet I didn't feel like I was back in the ol' Eclipse (RIP lil Red) of the college years. Plus I got an amazing deal on it! If anyone is considering buying a new car anytime soon I would highly recommend doing so now! It is the EX-L version, which has leather upholstery, some fancy radio that I don't understand, a sunroof (critical for me), and seat heaters (which I have to have if I have leather seats, I am a wuss and I don't like having a cold bum). The exterior paint color is white and the interior is called 'blonde'. I felt this this car was meant for me because I am A) White, and B) Blonde!

Here are some stock photos that I pulled from the Internet because I'm an idiot and forgot to take some at the dealership. Don't worry, there will be plenty more to come when I pick it up on Friday afternoon!

Car Shopping!

Hi!! Guess what? I've already broken my pledge to not go more than three days without blogging! Oops! Sorry....;)

So tonight after work I am meeting my dad to go car shopping!! And the exciting thing is that it is for me! My parents are getting the itch to get rid of their 12 year old Blazer (finally, that thing is such an eyesore), and I have talked them into taking my car (a 2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor) and giving me a down payment for a new car (one that will get better gas mileage).



So my top three choices are 1) Nissan Altima Coupe 2) Honda Accord Coupe 3) Honda Accord Sedan. Since tonight is the first time we are going looking, I don't have my hopes up, but if I found something that would be awesome! I'm glad that my Dad is going with me because I don't like to talk price and those sorts of things... It makes me nervous and he is better at it than me anyway:) That is what Dad's are for! And for giving you $20's, even when you are financially independent and 26 years old.



In other news, tomorrow is our weekly day to "eat out" lunch with my work BFF's Chrissie and Kristen. I'm really pumped because I am the biggest fan of the "eat out" lunch day... We are thinking about going to Companion in Clayton. Has anyone every eaten there? What is good? Do they have outdoor seating? I will let you know what I thought about it after we eat there!!

Also, I tried to take Chrissie and Kristen's picture today to put up on my blog, but they wouldn't let me, so here is a pic of the three of us at Chrissie's wedding. They're they best and I love them both dearly!





Toodles!

Yep, still here... Just a really bad blogger!

Hey Everyone!

So, I haven't blogged since September 5th... It is now March 16th... Pretty sure I have set some sort of record for the worst blogger in the world. Anyway, I have a few minutes before I leave to go get my butt kicked at the gym by my trainer, Nicole, so I thought I would hop on here and tell you that I am re-committing myself the the blog. Yep, that's right. I am pledging to not go more than three days in a row without updating the blog.

So, one of my best friend's in the whole world got married this past weekend. Heather and Mike were married at the Historic Trinity Lutheran Church in Soulard, MO with the reception following at the Sheraton in Clayton. The day was absolutely gorgeous, the bride and groom radiant, and it was an all over, beautiful day! I will try to post up some pictures as soon as I can. The only hitch the entire day was that Aunt Pam lost her pants:)

Yesterday was spent eating terribly fattening food (buffalo chicken sandwich with fries from the Cheesecake Factory- HEAVEN), and sleeping with my girls, Sparkles and Stella. Very unproductive and I loved every minute of it!!

Ok, I have to leave now, but I promise I will be back soon!

Ta-ta!
