Soda... Now for hair?!

Although make up makes my skin melt (I have uber sensitive skin. Light blush and concealer feel like a thick, hot mask; eye shadow and liner and mascara burn and lipstick normally makes my lips tingle. Le sigh.) I always love reading about various tips and tricks, because some days, I cowgirl up and just deal with the meltyness.

Anyway, I was reading the fashion blog of one of my favorite magazines and they said the newest thing is to put soda in a spray bottle and use it on your hair. They say it especially gives great texture...

I think it'll give you sugary hair and attract bees and flies... Yeeeuk.

What do you think?

A day off!

Woohoo, finally, Sunday is our day off... (Which is in half an hour :P WOO!)

Work has been pretty crazy. I have lots of crap to talk about, but I'll save that for another time.

I just, again, wanted to say I have not abandoned my blog and I am reading everyone's posts, I just have had no real time to comment or post myself. V.V

So, take care, ya'll!

Two year anniversary and lots of little stuff!

Hello everyone!

Well, today is mine and Jennie's two year wedding anniversary. ^_^ I am so happy to be married to her. I love her more and more each day and I am so lucky to have found my soul mate. <3

13 things I love about our marriage. ^_^ (Because today is the 13th!)

1. We enjoy living and working together, and yes, side-by-side. We are a team, whether it is on one of our favorite games at home, while cooking dinner or at work working on a project.

2. We always support each other. It doesn't matter what happened or why, we always have each others back.

3. We have the same taste in everything. We love the same movies, TV shows, music, games, food, etc. Sometimes our tastes will be a little different and those we cherish too. It just makes us who we are. ^_^

4. We both have a good sense of humor... We're always sarcastic with each other, but it really is out of love. We kid each other all the time and we always know each other is kidding.

5. We love being in the car together!

6. TMI: Our sex life is great!

7. We can tell each other anything. Nothing is too silly or embarrassing, we keep nothing to ourselves. We talk about everything and anything. What we love, what we hate, how we're feeling, etc.

8. We both love shopping and gift giving. Jennie has always been amazing with gift giving. She always knows what to buy me and she makes each and every holiday and every day, special.

9. We always compliment each other, whether each other is around or not. I have always had people compliment me because of her, whether it was something I had done that she bragged about or just something fun, like it being my birthday or me having really helped a customer at work, etc. And I always do the same for her. She's pure awesomeness!

10. Our words, our songs, our special little memories. We have so many "special" things, that we rarely share with anyone else... If we did, they'd probably have no clue what we were talking about, haha.

11. We made a four year LDR (Long Distance Relationship) work. ^_^

12. We love each other. We truly do. We always say, and show, our love for one another.

13. I am her soul mate, her best friend and her wife. And she is mine. Forever and always! ^_^ <3

Now, for other little stuff...

Work is going surprisingly well (we've had our share of crappy work!) Our managers can not say enough great things about us, both to our faces and to all our co-workers. They even are going to train us to be managers. Bad part? Our co-workers may start getting upset over the special treatment (which we are only getting because we are doing our job and doing it well, but still...) And... This job is only until November. >.<

The only other bad part is that right now we're doing a lot of psychical labor. We're sore... And scratched up. >.<

Oh, also, my sister seems to have forgiven me for last night. Phew!

And finally, there is a lot of stuff we've bought lately. Halo 3, which is AMAZING!!! The Sims 2: Seasons, Jennie got new boots (named Jenny. :P) Plus a movie, fun makeup, etc.

I do have a list of things I want to save up for/buy soon... I really want a french manicure set, but eh... I suck at anything involving nail polish. -_-'

Oh and also, if I have not been reading/commenting on your blogs, sorry! It's just been a busy week!

Oh well, that is all for now!

I am such an idiot...

Urgh! Not sure if I am venting about myself or my sister...

Today is my older sister's birthday. She and I live across the country from each other. She remembered my birthday, sending me a big box and cookies... She also sent a big box to my wife, whose birthday was the 10th. She is planning (was planning?) on sending a box for our anniversary on the 13th.

I've been talking about these three days for weeks. I've even posted about them. Today we went to work early, just got home. We had really good news from our managers and I could not wait to call my other older sister to tell her... I didn't even realize today was the 12th. So, instead of my other older sister, my birthday-today sister got the phone. I said "Oh, hi!" and began to excitedly tell HER the news... I heard my other older sister saying something in the background. So I stopped talking and waited. I go "What did she say?" laughing, 'cause my sisters are goofy. She goes "She wants to know if you're singing me happy birthday."

Ooooh fuck.

So then I go into this confusing rambling of how I didn't realize what today was and that I was having a great day with great news and I thought tonight was Sunday. I rambled on and contradicted myself about fifty times. I also said I fell (which I did, but I landed on something soft and I fell 'cause I'm clumsy!) and was a bit confused. I just kept going on and on.

I felt HORRIBLE and I didn't know what to do. I should have said "Wait, what? Today is the 12th? Oh my gosh, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!" but instead I made myself sound like a complete idiot. >.<

Now, however, is where I think I am venting about her...

She was pissed. Down right pissed. First she decided to get even by saying someone in my family who I hate, remembered. Then she was just "mmhmm"-ing everything. If it was my birthday, I'd be hurt if they forgot. But if I got the phone and they were excited and went on about something different, I'd probably figure they just got caught up in the moment or they didn't know what day it was, etc.

If they seemed flustered and lied, I'd realize they just didn't want to hurt me and I'd say that and tell them I was fine. I wouldn't make them feel like shit, nor would I try and get even with them.

So now I don't really know what to do... It would have been a lot better if I just apologized and went from there, but no, I had to act like a complete fool... Totally embarrassing myself. Urgh, urgh, urgh.

Happy Birthday, Jennie!

YAY!!! Today is Jennie's 23rd birthday. ^_^ Happy Birthday, Jennie!

I am going to post various lyrics that I feel fit her, as well as 23 reasons why she is amazing and why I love her, so, so much. ^_^

"She wants her nails painted black
She wants the toy in the crackerjack
She wants to ride the bull at the rodeo

She wants to wear my shirt to bed
She wants to make every stray a pet
N' Drive around in my truck with no place to go

But she needs to feel that fire
The one that lets her know for sure
She's everything I want and more
Her real desire, Is to know I'd walk alone out on the wire
To make her feel that fire" - Feel That Fire by Dierks Bentley.

1. She has an amazing soul. She is a kind and loving girl. There is nothing like seeing her help a customer while we work, or how she acts when she is around family. There is nothing like seeing her play with our pets, nor nothing as amazing as when she is there for me (which is always <3).

2. She is beautiful, inside and out. On the outside, she is beautiful. She is hit on often, too. However, I am the one lucky enough to be with her. Her beauty amazes me. Her warm brown eyes make me melt, they are eyes I love to look into. I feel as if she can see into my soul. I love her smile and I love how it makes me feel like I am standing out in the sunshine, as if a warm, comforting blanket surrounds me and makes me feel safe and secure. I love her for everything she has on the outside and everything she has and is, in the inside. She is funny and smart, she is tough and she is feminine. She is shy, but when she opens up, she is everyone's best friend. She can make me happy when I am sad and she can make me even happier, when I am already happy.

3. She is smart. Not only is she book smart and not only does she know a lot (about everything, history, science, math, English...) But she is smart about people. How they feel, what they are like. She can also start something she has never done before, such as a new recipe or putting something together and she perfects it. She and I kid around, talk like leet girls when we feel like being silly, or we'll act goofy... But when she speaks, she speaks with intelligence.

4. Her humor. She can laugh and have fun and enjoy a good joke. She and I can tease and "make fun" of each other all day and enjoy it. She can tell funny stories like no other. I love her humor, especially because we truly get each other. And I love laughing with her. She has an adorable laugh...

5. She is creative. Whether it is a new website, or building a roller coaster on one of our games, she has amazing talent. Especially in digital graphics and web design. But she is also an amazing writer. Her stories and poems capture me, they make me smile and they make me think. I feel as if I am in the setting she writes. She also is very good at drawing, even if she does not think so...

"She's a Saturn with a sunroof
With her brown hair a-blowing
She's a soft place to land
And a good feeling knowing
She's a warm conversation
That I wouldn't miss for nothing
She's a fighter when she's mad
And she's a lover when she's loving

[Chorus]
And she's everything I ever wanted
And everything I need
I talk about her, I go on and on and on
'Cause she's everything to me

She's a Saturday out on the town
And a church girl on Sunday
She's a cross around her neck
And a cuss word 'cause its Monday
She's a bubble bath and candles
Baby come and kiss me
She's a one glass of wine
And she's feeling kinda tipsy

She's the giver I wish I could be
And the stealer of the covers
She's a picture in my wallet
Of my unborn children's mother
She's the hand that I'm holding
When I'm on my knees and praying
She's the answer to my prayer
And she's the song that I'm playing" - She's Everything by Brad Paisley

6. She has an amazing aura of elegance. It doesn't matter if she is wearing a beautiful, expensive gown or a cute t-shirt and jeans, she has this amazing aura of elegance surrounding her. She reminds me of a princess and though this may sound odd and make no sense to anyone, when I see her, no matter what she is doing; I feel like she should be dressed in gorgeous colors of gold and other "royal" colors. I feel like she should be sipping the finest champagne or drinking the tastiest of wines. I feel like pearls or diamonds should be adorning her. Like I said, that feeling may not make sense to anyone, but it is a daily feeling for me. And I love it!

7. She has guts. She rode a bull, in front of a crowd of people, not knowing what was going to happen to her. But she cowgirl-ed up and did it. And yes, this was a real bull and a pretty dangerous one too, as one of the professionals rode him the next week.

8. She has many different interests. She is an amazing cook and a fabulous gamer, she is a lover of shopping and she enjoys camping too. She can play a mean game of chess and she can relax with a funny movie. She has traveled all over the United States and parts of Canada. She has amazing stories from when she was a little girl to know and she, and she and I, keep making more. She is also a professional at fashion and putting on/picking makeup... For herself and others (like me!) And she is getting into theatrical makeup as well.

9. She truly gets me and she is a romantic. She and I have our share of little jokes, sayings, song, etc. that are just between us. We have can tell each other anything and never feel weird. I have no secrets from her and vice versa. We are completely open and honest to each other at all times. We are so much alike in so many ways, but in the small differences we do have, they blend together perfectly. She and I have the same fears and goals, we believe in each other and support each other. She also always has known what is important to me. From day one, she has proved that she knows me heart and soul. Even when we first started dating. She has always known just what to say, the best gift to give, the perfect time for a joke and the best time for a hug. She has always listened to me, surprising me with a gift or a dinner or fast food or a special poem, for holidays. Even if I mentioned it months before. And sometimes, she does it just because.

10. She is very innocent. However, she is not a doormat either. She can see the world how it should be, and she can find the good in people. Her feelings are touched when she hears a story of an abandoned animal finding the perfect family. She has forgiven people who hurt her and she stays out of drama or anything that may hurt someone else.

11. She would rather stay home and curl up with a good book, or play her favorite game, then go out and drink or party. Another thing we share. The best part is, we are best friends. We can enjoy quiet nights at home, or go shopping... Another thing she loves. We can go to movies and restaurants and never get tired of each other.

12. She is a hard worker. Being her wife and co-worker, I hear the many compliments our supervisors and manager give her. She is always being praised. She has fun while working, but she is serious. She does what she is there to do, while making friends in the process.

13. She is a great driver. I truly think that I would have been in many accidents if it was not her behind the wheel. If it wasn't for her, we WOULD have been hit at least three, four times this year. But she is smart and knows what to do, to avoid accidents. And I am very, very thankful for that.

14. She is a dreamer. She dreams of what our future will be like, whether it is something fun we'll do tomorrow, or what our dream home will be. And not only does she dream, she plans. And she does. She makes her dreams become a reality.

15. I love her arms and hands. I love when she holds me close. I love to feel safe, secure and protected. I love to feel wanted and needed. I love the warmth and the closeness of being hugged by her and by hugging her back.

16. She is tough. She is a strong girl. She puts up with more than anyone should... From family, from co-workers, from friends. She is tough as in she doesn't back down from a hard job, even if it means doing hard labor, like lifting heavy shelves or climbing tall ladders.

17. She is feminine. A bubble bath, a cute new dress, her makeup collection... I love all the little feminine things she does. I love watching her in an outfit that makes her feel like a million bucks. I love when she tries a new bubble bath and the smell of it on her skin. I love her collection of relaxing candles and incense. I love her pink PJs. And I love her stuffed animals. I love being married to a girl, but not just any girl, her.

18. I love when she is confident. And when she has confidence in herself. She doesn't think she is as beautiful as I do. But when something makes her feel great, she glows even more than usual. And I love seeing that side of her.

19. She makes me feel important. If I put on a new outfit or anything she loves, if I cook a nice meal or had a hard day, she makes me feel like I am all that matters. She will drop everything to rub my back or make me a bath, she will listen and she will help, she will tell me I'm gorgeous and she'll surprise me with little things. It is great to feel loved and needed and beautiful.

20. I love her kisses. They make me feel alive. She is an amazing kisser and lover!

"Lying here with you
Listening to the rain
Smile just to see the smile upon your face
These are the moments I thank God that I'm alive
And these are the moments I'll remember all my life
I've found all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more

Looking in your eyes
Seeing all I need
Everything you are is everything in me
These are the moments
I know heaven must exist
And these are the moments
I know all I need is this
I've found all I've waited for, yeah
And I could not ask for more

I could not ask for more than this time together
I could not ask for more than this time with you" - I could not ask for more by Sara Evans.


21. I love how she fits in my arms. It is like we were made for cuddling each other.

22. I truly love that even though we are both adults, the holidays bring us so much joy and places like Disney Land and Disney World are magical to us. I love sharing breakfast while watching a cute cartoon in the morning. Neither of us have to spend all day talking about "adult stuff" like bills, work, etc. We can relax and enjoy life.

"If there were no words
No way to speak
I would still hear you

If there were no tears
No way to feel inside
I'd still feel for you

And even if the sun refuse to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart
Until the end of time
You're all i need
My love, my valentine" - My Valentine by Martina McBride.

23. And what do I love the most? Jennie. Everything about her. Everything she is and isn't. Everything she wants and needs and hopes for. Everything she dreams. How she walks and talks (her voice is like music to my ears), the way she feels and smells. The taste of her kisses. The way that her laugh and her smile can make me grin, because it is so adorable and warm and it makes me melt. I love that she cries at sad movies and happy endings and that she cares about everyone, including animals. I love the fact that while we do not have children, if we ever do, she would be a fantastic mother. I love that she is there for me when I need her and she doesn't make me feel silly, no matter what. I love her hobbies and interests, how she sleeps and how she looks in the morning. I love her, everything about her. Her body, her mind, her heart and her soul. And I will, forever.

I love you, Jennie. My best friend, my wife, my angel, the love of my life, my soul mate. Have a great birthday, sweetheart.

Employed!

Every year, Jennie and I try to find out when our favorite Halloween store is opening. We normally find out a week or two too late, when they are fully staffed. This year? We were prepared. We kept checking online, but no luck... Kept checking Grand Openings, nope, still nothing... Coming soon? Nothing!

However, on Sunday, Jennie's parents saw a big sign for the store on one of the nearby available buildings. Eee! We immediately drove up there, but no one came to the door.

Finally, on Monday, I called (though I figured no one would be there) and to my surprise, someone was. And they said come on in and grab an application. So in we went and applications we grabbed.

We REALLY wanted this position. So, for a (seasonal) job working in a nearby Halloween store, we filled in the applications, wrote cover letters and showed off our awesome Halloween makeup from last year.

We brought the applications right back and we got a call three or so hours later saying we were hired!

Tuesday was our first day and everyone kept telling us how impressed they were with our resumes. ^_^ Plus, we get to be surrounded by everything from fake blood to remote control rats!

Other than that, that is about all. Just relaxing with Jennie and surfing one of my favorite message boards.

Oh, and I am really happy about this: http://www.benjerry.com/hubbyhubby/
















I was introduced to Ben & Jerry's ice cream in 2007 and love how... Well, amazing the flavor is. And how creative they are. And this... Well, this is honestly just lovely. I am always happy when I see a company doing something for the LGBT community. Especially major companies, such as Ben & Jerry's. I just wish I could get some Hubby Hubby ice cream!

Our Story <3

Hello everyone!

I decided today would be the perfect day to post the story on how Jennie and I met, started dating, got engaged, got married and what we are planning for our future. ^_^

It was late Summer in 2003 when Jennie and I first met. It was on an online message board, for a common interest we shared. She and I said hello every now and then, but that was about all.

On September 12th, it was my second oldest sister's birthday. During her party, we received a phone call that my Grandmother had died. My family tried to go on with her party, but I was still crying and just feeling totally miserable. I went online, where my "friends" were. I didn't realize (until much later) that they really were not my friends, but I thought they were then. The most they said was "Sorry" and then went on to talk about their day.

I logged onto the message board and made a topic, not about my Grandma, but just saying how down I felt. Jennie came on, found my topic and asked me why... I told her what had happened. And, not only did she care, but she made me feel 100% better. She gave me words of inspiration, telling me what I had always told others when loved ones passed. She continued talking to me and she made me smile and laugh.

It was then that I realized she was my best friend, instantly. I gave her my messenger name and later on she added me. Not a day or night went by, that we did not talk. We shared fun stories, talked about our friends, talked about interests and hobbies and truly enjoyed each others company. We were both home schooled and so I got to talk with her literally all the time, even while studying and doing home work.

On February 13th, 2004 she asked me if I would be her Valentine. Of course I said yes! She then asked me if I would be her girlfriend too and I said yes!

I woke up Valentine's Day morning to a beautiful, loving, heart felt e-card from her. It was my first Valentine's card ever. I (very happily) cried when I read it.

I knew, in fact I really knew from the first day we met, that she was "the one." Now that we were dating, we talked even more (if that was even possible!) We also sent each other a picture each, to see what we looked like and we fell even more in love.

We also sent each other boxes, letters, cards, e-cards, flowers, everything! Her first box to me had a little of everything... A card, a beautiful necklace, some cocoa and tons of other cute, fun stuff. She also sent me many singing stuffed animals for the holidays, which I always loved. I sent her jewelry, pretty scented candles, bubble bath, stuffed animals (including a Build-A-Bear bunny!) And tons of other lovingly picked out gifts.

We also called each other on the phone and eventually, her parents surprised me with a cell phone on the family plan, so we could talk without interrupting everyone's calls, haha!

And then, for Christmas 2005, my gift was... An engagement ring. ^_^ Talk about one amazing Christmas gift, huh? She had sent me a box, literally filled with over 25 small gifts and quite a few larger ones. We were on the phone and she asked me to open the cute star-shaped box. So, excited (I love gifts!) I grabbed the box and lifted off the lid. Inside was a smaller star-shaped box. Finally, after taking off the last star-shaped lid, there was a small jewelry box.

And inside held my beautiful engagement ring. White gold, with three tanzanite gems representing Past, Present and Future and diamonds surrounding them. She asked me if I would marry her and I said yes, yes, a big big YES!

My ring
















Tanzanite gems are rare, because of their color and because there is only one place in the world where it is mined and when they are mined out, there most likely will no longer be anywhere to get tanzanite. Jennie explained that, like the gem, I am rare, unique and very special. ^_^ Also, growing up, I had always loved rings with gems that symbolized Past, Present and Future. However, I had never mentioned this to Jennie, as I had never found any I actually liked. Until I opened that Christmas gift. ^_-

Many people told us we would never last, because we were young, fell in love quickly, were in a 2,000+ mile relationship, etc. But other than them being rude, their words never bothered us. We knew (and still know) how we felt. We loved each other, we wanted to be together.

In 2007 I celebrated my 18th birthday in July. I told my family I wanted and had to meet Jennie. I knew her for four years at that point, I wanted to be able to be in the same room as my best friend, my fiancee. To see her face in person. To hear her voice clearly. To be able to give her a hug.

My parents hated the idea of me taking my first flight ever, alone. I loved the idea. I didn't want anyone tagging along with me. And I didn't want Jennie flying out to meet me, because to be honest, many people in my family are quite racist (towards those in the LGBT community) and I didn't want her to have to deal with that.

In August, my parents bought me plane tickets, so that I could meet Jennie. I thanked them, over and over and told Jennie. We were both so excited. Her parents planned a trip, so that when I got there, the four of us would take a trip to see two beautiful National Parks.

On August 21st my dad took me to the airport. I said goodbye to him, with my two bags and my way too short poodle haircut (I love my sister, but I am never letting her cut my hair again) and sat in the airport waiting. I was on the phone with Jennie and my parents, back in forth, until we were told no cell phones allowed. I turned mine off and sat back.

Flying really was not scary, I enjoyed it, except that I kept falling asleep (I was so excited, I couldn't sleep for about two nights!) When I was awake, I asked the flight attendant "Where are we?" "What state are we flying over?" "Are we almost there?" Yes, I was that annoying.

Finally, my plane landed. I looked for Jennie in the crowded airport and saw her standing there with a rose for me. Awww! We both are shy, so we gave each other a small hug and went to look for my luggage. Which, by the way, the airport people had tucked the scarf I had tied on my handle (to recognize my luggage) into the luggage itself... So it took us a while!

Jennie and I walked to the parking lot, where we got lost (airport parking lots are big, y'all.) Finally we found her parents jeep and climbed in. We sat side by side, glancing over towards one another.

Her parents took us to Carl's Jr (yuuum) and I ordered a western burger. I was so excited, I had never had one and always heard great things about them. We went to Jennie's and her parents house and she and I went to go eat on the patio. Finally, we were alone. We talked a bit, she introduced me to her pets, we finally were able to hold hands and we ate some of our food... Well, I only had a bite or two. I figured I just felt weird because of the plane.

We went inside to play video games, a hobby we always have shared together. I couldn't even play. I stood up and almost fell over. I had no idea what was wrong with me, until Jennie's mom felt my forehead. I somehow caught a freakin' flu on the plane or sometime while doing last minute shopping before leaving.

I still wanted to go on the trip and the whole time, Jennie took great care of me. She made sure I slept (we were in her parents motorhome with them for the trip), had plenty to eat and drink, that I was comfortable... She was super caring and super sweet. We also shared our first kiss on the way to the park. ^_^

And while we were at the second park, I gave Jennie my flu. >.< We were also up on top of a very large mountain when she realized she was sick. My poor Jen-Jen! It was my turn to take care of her and I did my best. When we got back home from the trip, we both felt much better. (Also, I will post a picture of each park in a bit, when I can grab them off Jen's computer.)

When we got back, I was supposed to go back to my parents home. But I couldn't. I could not stand seeing her, finally being with her and then saying goodbye. I couldn't even think of it without feeling like I was going to cry. I called my parents and I explained I loved them, but I had to follow my heart and I was truly happy here and with Jennie. They understood and honestly, they and my sister knew I was going to stay.

One month later, on September 13th 2007, Jennie and I got married! It was a small wedding, in a small chapel, with us and her parents. It was perfect. Except, I, of course tripped on the stairs once they announced us as married... Despite everyone telling us to watch out for the stair. And this was while they were taking pictures and videos. Of course, me being me, broke out laughing. And now I keep saying "Well, I just keep falling in love with her again and again!"

Our honeymoon was at the Excalibur in Las Vegas! It was a lot of fun and I loved seeing Vegas for the first time. ^_^ I called my parents and they were very happy for us. They welcome Jennie into the family and told her they loved her.

And now, it is almost our two year wedding anniversary and we've known each other for six years. We have spent literally every day together, we also work any job we can together. We truly are that close, we always have been.

So that is the story of me and Jennie. She is my best friend, the love of my life, my wife, my treasure and my soul mate. I am so happy that we are celebrating our second wedding anniversary and I truly look forward to sharing forever with her. ^_^

Friday night traditions

So as I ran downstairs to grab mine and Jennie's pizza, I thought of my sister who always comments on our fun (and yummy) Friday night tradition. Every Friday, my in-laws order themselves and us a pizza and drinks (Coca-Cola for us!)

Then I realized, this is what I should blog about tonight!

I love traditions. I love holiday traditions, and fun pizza traditions, special plates and decorations only used for birthdays and kisses at midnight on New Years Eve... Not to mention so, so many more.

So, do you have a tradition you enjoy and look forward to? Whether it's every day, every weekend, every month or year? I'd love to hear them!

Shopping!

Hello!

Okay, so today we went shopping! We got a lot of fun stuff, including The Sims 2: Apartment Life and The Sims 2: Pets. Yay!!!

We also bought... SHOES!!!

I got a pair of black and pink Airspeed gym type shoes. They are really comfy and cute.

























Jennie got L.e.i plaid pumps. They are so adorable!



























I gotta admit, I am such a L.e.i fangirl. We have L.e.i cowgirl boots, sundresses, etc. They're really cute, fun and comfortable to wear.

Anyway, we also went to the library with my MIL. I love, LOVE, love the library and I always check out an arm full of books.

What am I reading?

• Building Web Sites ALL-IN-ONE FOR DUMMIES. (I am enjoying this new hobby/interest of making blog backgrounds and I have always wanted to learn how to build actual web sites!)
• A Halloween Reader Poems, Stories, and Plays from Halloweens Past. (I love Halloween so I just had to get this book! Plus I love darker poetry, etc. I definitely think it'll be a fun read!)
• [2] Trigun Maximum Death Blue. (I love the anime Trigun, plus it is the first anime Jennie and I ever watched together. I've never read a manga and have always wanted to, so I picked this one due to it being such a great anime. However, they didn't have book [1] in. Boonah!
• Fushigi Yûgi Genbu Kaiden 1. (Woohoo! Another manga! Never have heard of this one, so I am excited to see what it is like. It is about a Priestess, who is on an epic journey. She also meets two Celestial Warriors. A man that has the power to summon wind and turn into a woman. And a bowman who is hunting the other Warrior.)
• Hellsing 5. (Yes, another manga! I never even noticed this section of the library, so I grabbed a few I thought I'd like. Hellsing is great... Okay, so I've never watched it, but it has an awesome woman who is girly yet wears suits and smokes a cigar, totally awesome. This manga is about Nazi undead, rifles, etc. mixed with fancy technology and vampires! Squee!)

• (And finally) A Practical Guide To Vampires. (Okay... So, this was in the kids section. But ya know what? I don't care, it is AMAZING! I've always loved books filled with "facts" (even if they are not real) and interesting stories, etc. This book has everything from what vampires look like to what jobs fit them the best! Plus, it has absolutely amazing art.

So, those are all the books I got today. I am very, very happy! Other then that, Jennie's parents got back from a four/five day trip yesterday. We had a lot of fun having the house to ourselves and we even cleaned inside and out to surprise them! We're happy that they're home, though.

Well, I am off to read and play the new Sims games with Jennie. 'Night! ^_^

My first survey!

Blog Designing

Here are two other blog backgrounds I have made:

Mmm, coffee...

I love coffee.

Up until maybe four/five years ago, I could not stand coffee. I had tasted a little sip here and there, but everything about coffee disgusted me. Except the smell of coffee grounds.

Jen was telling me about Starbucks Frappuccinos, the bottled kind you can get at the grocery store. They sounded good... And I remembered trying an iced coffee from Dunkin Donuts years before, that wasn't half bad (I had only taken a sip.)

So I asked my mom to get me some from the grocery store and ever since then, I have loved coffee. I'm not addicted and I can function perfectly fine without it, but I LOVE flavor. (Much to my sisters' happiness. They love that I drink coffee now, as it is something they've always loved!)

So I truly enjoy when we can get something delicious, like premium coffee grounds, coffee syrup and... Creamer. I love creamer.

Amaretto and... Pumpkin Spice, I think, are at the top of my list. Along with Vanilla Chai Spice, which we just bought! ^_^ So that, with some sugar... Yum.














What's your favorite way to drink coffee (if you do)?

Okay, real post for the day...

Hehehe!

Hello everyone!

Ah, I am still so happy about my blog background. I kept looking online for the perfect background that screamed "me," but couldn't find anything. Do not get me wrong, I found many LOVELY backgrounds, but nothing clicked.

Then I thought, well, maybe making my own wouldn't be so hard... And now I am very satisfied.

I still have a few things I need to change. For one, the heart "button" on my header seems a little distorted and honestly, I am thinking about changing my blog name. I do love it, but it just doesn't sound... Right. I am a lesbian and a very happily married one at that, but maybe the name is just going kind of overboard?

The last thing I want to do is sound like some lolboy.

Anyway, September 1st! YAY!

Jennie's b-day is on the 10th! (And we get our last paycheck tomorrow! BooYAH and boonah.) My sister's is on the 12th and Jennie and I will be married for 2 years on the 13th! WOOHOO!

I am also looking forward to fall. I <3 fall.

I also just drank a ROCKST*R (JUICED Mango - Orange Passion Fruit, for those who wanna know!) So I am hyper!

And yes, this is how I really am. I am geeky and annoying and hyper. GO ME!

I made my own background!

WOOHOO!!! I made my own background (from SCRATCH)!!! I'm so proud, lol.

Now, of course, I am thinking of the holidays, random blog designs, blog backgrounds Jen can make me ('cause she's GREAT with this stuff), etc. EEE!!! WOOHOO!!! Haha...

Under Maintenance!

I am trying out new blog backgrounds, etc. So if my blog looks very weird, it is most likely because I have messed something up and don't know how to fix it. :P

Update: Ahhh! First, I found a design I loved, but it wouldn't work. v.v Then I kinda sorta messed up all my widgets... I'm still trying to find a nice design!

Update number two: Bleh, just putting up my old background while we go watch TV. This is too confusing, lol.

Update number three: And trying to make this blog super super pretty pretty, again. :P
