2015

Well I am ready for 2015 already.  It's only been 5-6 weeks of 2014 and I've had enough.  In 5 weeks I have had to pay for plumbing issues twice, a garage door panel, and now today it looks like a new hot water heater.  I'm have temped to sell my house cause this is getting too expensive.  As a single mother working 50 hours a week, I can afford normal life things, not all these repairs.  Things better get better soon or it's going to be a long year.

Halloween/ Fall Decorations

Today I decorated for Halloween/ Fall. I love the holidays!!! And I want my kids to love them too.  So here are some of the decorations that I did.

 

 

Our front door has turned into a mummy!!!!  Thank-you Pinterest!  Love this!  I used 3 rolls of white streamer paper.  And then I made the eyes.  The white is printer paper and the black is felt.  Easy!

A view when you walk up to the door!

 

The fireplace

The lights... and yes they work!

Table

Again table

 

The outside is started, but I have to get some pumpkins tomorrow.  :)

HAIR

I have a love hate relationship with my hair... ok, that isn't true, I only like it because it covers my head.  I have had the same style since I was... born?  Actually I use to have bangs, and I grew them out when I was 15, but even with bangs, my hair looked the same.  I have the little house on the prairie look.  I'm not crazy about the length yet, but it is growing... SLOWLY!!  If I donate my hair for a 6th time, I won't cut as much next time.  So today I did some different ways to part my hair.  Keep in mind I am not good at doing hair, I barely know what I am doing.  :)

 

First photo, me normally.. little house on the prairie.

 

 Second one, I combed my hair to my left.... it looked weird.  I felt like I was balding and was combing over to hide it.

 

And then to the right... this one wasn't bad, for some unknown reason I thought I had to hold my head like that, like my hair was going to flip back.  LOL! 

 

So now back to little house on the prairie, maybe someday I will find a NEW me!

Hell's Kitchen

So who all watched Hell’s Kitchen?? (http://www.fox.com/hellskitchen/)   I have watched it for several years now. I enjoy the show, I love to see the chefs to be, and Gordon Ramsay and his attitude.

This season, I had my favorites and least favorites after the first episode. My favorites, Dana, Justin, and Christina. My least favorites Robyn and Royce. I quickly started not liking Barbie too.

As for the final episode… wow! If you haven’t seen the last one, then stop reading here…. Spoiler!

First off, I was pretty surprised that the final two were Justin and Christina. I figured it would be Justin and Dana. But it was still fine with me. During the last episode I knew that Justin had to win. He had been a strong leader from early on. He lead the blue team, and just kept getting better. During the final episode Christina told all the past chefs to not call her “Chef” that she wouldn’t reply… umm hello???? Isn’t that the reason she was there? To be head Chef! I don’t think she lead her group all that well at all. So at the end, when she walked through the door, I think about had a heart attack. I honestly think Justin was a stronger chef, even a better chef. I think the show gave it to Christina. I don’t think she will ever last as a head chef. She just isn’t bossy enough. She tries to be “buddies” with the other cooks. I am glad she won over several of the other chefs to be. And wish her the best of luck!

Since she won, I swore I wouldn’t watch it again.  But we will see when the time comes. I actually already miss it.
