Fall is here!

Last week was the official start of fall and I want to get decorative around the house.... but how? I am the worst at making a on the fly decision for interior design, I usually have to come back to the item in the store like 3 or 4 times before I decide if I should buy it or not (and I usually leave without it). Making "right now" choices is something on my list of things to accomplish...... still waiting to conquer that.

I'm really excited about making the house festive for the seasons, I have all these ideas in my head! We don't get company often, but I still want to be able to liven up the space for show and tell lol. Here are some of the things that inspire me:

I can't wait to get started!

Nothing of substance

Lately I have been feeling like I have nothing of good quality to talk about on the blog. I don't want to bore you guys with my school activities (hell I would bore myself) and my love life.... well, Lewis is gone back to work out of town so I don't get to interact with him much. Wedding planning-wise: not much I can really handle as of right now. I go back to East TX next month to do some wedding business so I'll have an update on that then. Other than that, nada.

Am I suffering from writer's block?

Here's the issue: sometimes a post idea will come to me at the most random times and then later when I am in front of the computer, I can't remember it! Or, as I am creating a post my words just don't come together like I want them too so I delete the whole thing. And then there is just those times when I'm staring at a blank page, watching the cursor blink. This is probably more like Blogger's Rut.

Perhaps I am just putting way too much thought into it and I just need to start typing away and see what happens........... Help would be nice!

If you guys could please, PRETTY PLEASE send me some suggestions or ideas I would greatly appreciate it! It would stop me from feeling like a loser in bloggerland. And I'll continue to try and come up with more exciting thing here at So this is what they call life!

Make today great folks :)

My hair..... semi-currently.

So remember when I posted a few weeks ago that I was uber frustrated with my hair? ::If you don't it's okay, here's the link:: Well a few days later on a whim I decided to quit whining and do something about it......  STRAW CURLS.

Right after I took them out......

After about 3 days, I started to separate them. 

Although you can blatantly see my new growth courtesy of the flash on my phone and they don't look the best/professionally done, I think this hairstyle did a good job of giving my hair a fresh look. It was a much needed changed from the everyday bun/clip routine I had fallen into. All I used was a cap full of setting lotion (that blue liquid in a spray bottle full of water) Smooth Shine Polishing foam mousse (got mine from Family Dollar store for $2.75), drinking straws and bobby pins. This hair style lasted me a week; from Labor Day until this past Monday. The only reason why I took it down was because I had separated the front so much that they were starting to lose definition, other wise they would still be up.

Currently 7wks post now..... Got 5 more wks and I will be relaxing. I may have to revisit this style in the future.

What ya think? Did I do a good job? Have any tips or suggestions for other hair styles or how I could make this one last longer? COMMENT!

Drawing a blank. Almost.....

I've haven't been posting these past couple of days because.... well I haven't had much to talk about..... Any suggestions?

I went to visit my hometown over the past weekend to see my girl graduate from her Surgical Technician program ::Congrats Sham!:: and ended up staying 2 extra days. To be honest, at times I felt out of place... mainly cause I no longer live there..... Like everybody would be winding down doing their own thing and I was kinda left kicking around dirt rocks lol. But overall, I enjoyed seeing everybody again.... it's been almost 6 months.

Wedding Stuff: Still haven't fully gotten started yet.. I know sad... I'm a little scatter-brained when it comes down to it I think. I should just pick one area at a time and focus on it, that will prolly ease my overwhelmed mind. Now I just need to find my starting point.......

Life: Guess what? I think I'm wearing ole Lewis down about another puppy!! This morning he told me that he wanted a girl dog but he was goin to wait til after we move into a bigger place... YEAS!!

I want to make our apt a little bit more home-like so I am slowly going to liven up each room.... starting with the living area. Got a few plans for it that I will share with you guys as they come together.

Still looking for a lil summer job, I may head to some of the temp services and see what they have available.

I think I may have myself a little plan!

Wedding stuff: Real Wedding Inspiration: Guest Book Tree

Since studying wasn't working out too good for me I decided to start browsing some wedding stuff. Ya, know get the mojo flowing and scope out some inspiration look what I stumbled upon:

 It's a guest book tree! Instead of having the tradition guest book with plain lines for people to sign their name and give formal "congratz" next to it... you make this and have your guest make personalized notes on there! Heart-felt congrats as well as advice *Raises eyebrows twice* ::I can only imagine what my friends would put on one of these...eeeek!:: I think it's a wicked idea and definitely getting stashed away in my wedding folder..... that I haven't started yet Lol.

What ya think?
Here's the link to check out how to create the guest book tree:
