Ah, sweet Sunday
Today is the day I am taking my family to the fair and I am so excited, it's like I am the kid here LoL!
Anyway, yesterday I decided to try out Hair Chalking, since I am off all weekend. I would have crazy colors in my hair permanently if I could get away with it at work. I remember trying the Kool-Aid coloring in middle school with unimpressive results, so I was curious if this would really work.
Yes, it works! I wasn't very pleased with the result because I got way too color happy and did too much of my hair. I thought it would have looked better if I had just done a few smaller strands, or even just the ends of my hair.
Of course, I don't have that beautiful, long hair to look quite like that, sooooo....
Anyway, I just washed my hair this morning and *most* of the color is gone. There is a very faint hint of come color that didn't come out, but I only shampooed once and I am sure it will all be out tomorrow morning when I shower before work. It does really, really dry out hair, so I may also pick up some clarifying shampoo and a good deep moisture conditioner. And I have very oily hair, I could wash it twice a day without drying it out, so I could only imagine the damage it would do to someone with dry hair already.
I ordered some pastels from Amazon that are brighter colors and better brands and I am going to test out some different stuff while I am on vacation at the beach (only 13 days away!!)
So this this was actually pretty fun. Maybe I will put some color in Kamryn's hair next time too ;)

Here is my second attempt. I think this is a little better.

Happy Cinco De Mayo!
Kam got up a little too early this morning. The first thing she said to me was, "I can't find my elephant!" I had no idea what she was talking about. She just kept saying it and asked me to help her find it. I figured it must be a stuffed animal or toy, so I asked her what it looked like. She said he had a long trunk and a long tail. Then she ran to the door to look out the glass to see if he was outside. I guess she thought she really owned a real elephant! She finally stopped looking for him, but said that when he comes back he will sleep in the bed with her tonight.
You just can't make stuff like this up!
Anyway, I am super excited to go to the fair tomorrow. And I will try to take lots of pics. Today we are going to make some Oreo Truffles to take to work next week for the employee lunch event.
When I told Kamryn we were going to the store, she asked me,"Are you going to take me to the store?" I told her, "Nah, Bella's gonna drive us." She said, "Bella can't drive!! She doesn't have hands, she has claws!" Oh yeah, that is totally the main reason why Bella can't drive us to the store.

I was starting to think that the college-age boys that live next door didn't own shirts until today.
Seriously, do they have to play basketball outside, without a shirt, everyday?
Kamryn was cuddled up with me in the recliner watching TV when she heard one of the boys yelling like a doofus outside. She asked me what that noise was and I told her nothing. She said it was a rooster and it was "cockin at us." I am guessing like cockadoodledoo, but I have to say I have never heard anyone shorten the phrase down to just "cockin" so I had to LOL a little.

I don't know if anyone else has had any experience with Carpenter Bees, but they are stupid little assholes that tunnel into wood structures. They (supposedly) don't sting (the males don't even have stingers) but they are obnoxious little bastards that buzz in your face and try to intimidate you away from their nests. Part of getting rid of them involves filling the holes they have bored into the wood to prevent new bees from moving in. So you can see why didn't understand why my husband LHAO when I told him I was heading outside to "fill some bee holes."

A guy at work asked me today if I was having a good "Star Wars Day." I just looked at him like he had two heads. He then explained, it's May 4th.
Oh well, that explains it. No, not really, WTF?
He explained further, "May the 4th be with you."
Okay, that's fucking stupid, thanks.
He then asked which Star Wars movie I would be watching to celebrate. I just told him that I don't really get into Star Trek. He responded, "You would say that."
And indeed I did say that.

Okay, I am 29 years old, married to my best friend and hottie Brian for 4 years with a 2 year old daughter.
She says the craziest shit all of the time! I thought it might be fun to document her silliness to use as a weapon of extortion when she becomes a teenager :D
She thought it would be fun to try to walk in my new shoes:
I mean, yeah, they are pretty awesome shoes, but let's face it, this girl falls down barefoot, no way can she manage these wedges!
Here's the craziness of the day:
Today she told me she would swim in the lake (Hartwell) with the crocodiles because they would give her kisses. But they have bad breath.
Tonight she said I better turn off the fan in her room because it would blow all of her hair off and then she would be naked and I would have to get her new hair. But it will be okay because we can just use Bella's fur for hair.
I asked her how much she loves me and she said, "one hundred five, six, seven and eight!" Yep, that's a whole lot.
One time when I had to go under the house to check the ductwork for the A/C she said she was scared there were spiders under there. I told her it's okay because the spiders are friendly, so she asked if they would give her hugs and Brian says yeah, they give great hugs with all eight arms. Ew. That was gross. He told her that while I was under the house I would pop up in the kitchen from under a loose tile. So then she wanted to know if the spiders could come in the house through that tile. Seriously?? Thanks Daddy, way to scare the crap out of the toddler ROFL!
