Cut!

This was one of those weekends where I seemed to spend a lot of time in the kitchen.  But I did manage to get my hair recolored and cut!

Here is what it looked like on our roadtrip 2 weeks ago.  I was letting it grow out a bit but by this point, I was in need of getting it reshaped.  It's hard to see here but the back was getting really shaggy and tickling my neck!

I *love* this picture of 1920's actress Louise Brooks so this was the inspiration I gave to the stylist.

After making me look like a potato for a bit...

...this is what she did!  (Pay no attention to my lack of make-up and pre-menstral pimple. :P )


I *LOVE* it!  This is the first haircut I have had in a VERY long time that I am really and truly happy with. :)  I started going to the Paul Mitchell School in Atlanta and I am really glad that I did.  The girl that I have seen twice, Rachael, is super sweet and eager to learn.  It was amazing how much more confident she's gotten in the 12 weeks since I last saw her.  My cut and dual color is on $55, which is still a lot but about 1/3 what I used to pay.  So my one luxury is a lot cheaper now. :)

That wasn't the only cutting from over the weekend, though.  I also made pizza, homemade from the crust up.

I did the whole wheat crust recipe from one of my go-to books "300 Best Bread Machine Recipes", made some of my favorite sauce on Saturday for this, browned some of the Italian sausage I made last week, and just added sauteed mushrooms and lots of yummy shredded cheese.

Even Rustle and Sidia approved!


They didn't get any, though.  Yeah, I'm a mean Mama. :)

Like my footstool the pizza is on?  I got 4 of those for $10 a piece in the clearance section of Target YEARS ago.  The legs fold in so you can use them as floor cushions as well.

Opinion Needed: Matron of Honor dress

I am so excited! My little sister is getting married in October and I get to be her matron-of-honor for the wedding. :) They are having a small ceremony and she wants a Gothic feel to her wedding so she told me to just get a dress that fits that theme. Heh heh... I can do that! I originally ordered this dress from Roaman's : I thought it was pretty, simple, could easily be "gothed up" and, best of all, it was on sale AND I had a 40% coupon so I got a good deal on it. When I received it, the seams were extremely puckered and the pleating across the bodice hung in a horrible, unflattering way. And it wasn't from me not filling it out! The lining was rather snug across the boobages. So I returned it in exchange for another. The seams were better but I still had the same issue with the pleating. So I've decided to make my own. Here are my plans. :) And yes, that is indeed TV dinner paper that I wrote on. If you click here , you will see my wedding dress which uses the...

My Dinner Guest

I had a wonderful guest for dinner last night. His name was Henry and he was delicious! (*evil grin*) I had no idea that sculpting with meat could actually be fun! I started with 5 pounds of ground beef mixed with 4 cups of diced onion, 10 oz roasted garlic bread crumbs, 4 eggs, 1/4 cup tomato sauce, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. I put a roasted onion inside his cranium as filler/a brain and used raw onion for his eyes and teeth. I actually kind of grossed myself out when I covered him with tomato sauce. LOL Next was a nice layer of provolone cheese slices. I ended up putting a few toothpicks in the side pieces before cooking to help hold the cheese in place over the tomato sauce. He was roasted at 350-degrees for 100 minutes. I had to hack off his chin for my piece. I *had* to.... I'm not sure what that says about me but yeah. I had to. :) I did learn a couple of things for when I make this in August. ** I need to pack the meat a lot tighter and mince the onion inste...
