Hair show!!

Annie, Challis, Randi and I went to Boise to a hair show over the weekend. We had tons of fun filling our brains with new cutting techniques and inspiration. The first picture is Annie admitting to us that she has never driven outside of Rexberg before...kinda scary but we made it! Above that is what I was eating at midnight at Cheesecake Factory- A goblet of strawberries with chocolate sauce and my own little bowl of whipping cream! Yum! I have been on pain killers all week for the infection in my face, but had almost no pain while I was on the trip! What a blessing that those girls didn't have to put up with the "sleepy-high" version of Stacey!!

More Pictures of the hair show. We went to PureOlogy, Redken, and Sexy hair.

Here we are watching the Redken class. Funny side note: Challis and I had to share beds with Randi and Annie who are both newlyweds, which equal Randi reaching and yelling for Coleman in the night and Annie stroking my face! Kinda weird.

He's here, he's here!

Ashley Rahlf had her baby boy today! They named him William Eisenhauer Rahlf. He is happy and healthy, and we are sooo excited for them. Also, it's Nonie's Birthday tomorrow!!! She is in Post Falls with Ashley and the new baby, so I bet she is going to have the best birthday ever! We love you Mommy Cardon!!

Timmy-Poo, This one's for you! (because it's your birthday!)

Tim's birthday is actually tomorrow, but I already know I won't have time to post anything, so here it is today! To avoid having Tim make farting noises while he reads this, I am going to be as insincere as possible! He's getting very old, he's very hairy, and I swear his head is still growing! No, I can't! I have to be mushy! Tim- You truly are the sweetest, most tender hearted man I have ever met. You are so smart, and industrious, and hilliaious! The second I saw you in your red western shirt, with long brown curls flowing out of your camo NAPA hat, I new I wanted you! The best part was you wanted me too! I love you forever! Happy Birthday Nanerpus!

You want me to do what?

So, I went to the dentist, because I had a horrible tooth ache, long story short I needed a crown. Never had a crown! Let me tell you what I do have: A chipped front tooth from Chelsea hitting me in the face with a Ken doll, a bridge from my tooth that had to be pulled because the root got severed during my wisdom teeth getting pulled out, and a gum graft. For those of you who aren't familiar with that, it is when they cut gum from the roof of your mouth and sew it on to where your gums are receeding. I guess it's true that you don't remember pain, because after the novicane wore off I swear the pain was greater than any of the above procedures! It truly felt like I was being jabbed again and again with an icepick! So, after 2 hydro's, 6 Ibuprofen's, 4 acetaminophen's, and an icepack the pain subsided! And guess what was suggested next! A tooth implant to replace my bridge. That basically consists of them drilling a screw into my jawbone and attaching a tooth to the end of it! Ya, sign me up for that too please!

I got kicked out!

*Warning* In the following I sound whiny and pathetic, but....
If anyone talks to Melanie Carlsen (or if you happen to check my blog yourself Mel) I got kicked out! Please add me to your invite list Mel!

9 Pet Peeves, because Megan is making me...

1. When you find really cool music, and you tell your friends all about it, and they don't really care, but then a week later they have purchased the CD, and are telling YOU all about it, like you never told them in the first place!

2. When people ask me why I don't have any kids.

3. The fact that it costs $120 to go to the movies, and I haven't seen a movie worth the money since Lord of the Rings, or the "Bourne" series.

4. Daytime Soaps

5. Insincerity

6. Clutter, and a messy house

7. I am doing a retraction on "the phone" because Tim thought it sounded too abrasive, and he's probably right! I am going to say when the bottom of your pants gets wet from the snowy slush, or rain instead. Also, even numbers. I only like odd's. I golf with all odd irons, and I only bought the odd numbered seasons of King of Queens. Tim brought this to my realization about a year ago.

8. I associate everything with food! I honestly know how Homer Simpson feels! There is a girl at my school who works at Winger's and every time I see her I find myself saying "Mmmmm sticky fingers" What? The other day we lifted pravana out of a girls hair, and it looked like fruity marshmallows, and for the rest of the day I wanted fruity marshmallows!

9. Grammer. You didn't "Seen someone doing something" and "Thems" isn't even a word! I am no grammatical genius, but I notice these things. I even found a type-0 in the last Twilight book.

Giant-sized icicle!

One day when I was outside, I found a leaf shaped like a heart. I thought it was pretty cool, but didn't take a picture or pick it up and the next day it was gone! So, when I spotted this giant icicle growing off my roof I thought I would seize the moment and take a picture. (This is exactly the reason why I don't post very often!)

I ran away!

I had a stressful week, so instead of deal with my problems, I did what I do best- I ran away! I went to Logan to hang out with Chelsea. Then I went out to eat with my parents at Callaway's with Chelsea and her boyfriend Colby. We had a good time. I miss living in Logan sometimes. It's fun to be able to see your family (or not) whenever you want. I definately think the restaurants are better there too. All we have are chains, and they get old real fast! Here are some pictures that go along with my tiny adventure across the border. Ha!

Oh Valentine-tree

I found a way to decorate for Valentine's Day, ease the pain of getting rid of my Christmas tree, and save money...A Valentine Tree!!!! This is probably not new to any of you, but I was proud of myself, because I am not that crafty. I made the hearts from fabric I had laying around, and shoved some pink and red netting here and there, and recylced some cute boxes I had gotten a couple of holiday's ago, for the presents!

Morgan Pinchy-Pants

Chelsea got Morgan a lobster costume and brought it up when she came to see me last week. The first time we put it on with the hood she didn't know what to do, so she just walked backward every where she went. It was hilarious!!! Here are some pictures of the fun times we had, you can tell she had a blast too!

Blonde or Brunette?

I was helping Annie put in some extensions, and decided to try out the extension hair myself. I don't know, it's starting to grow on me...

Neiman-Marcus Cookies?

So, the story goes, that a lady went into Neiman-Marcus and stopped by the cafe for one of their world famous cookies. Well, she asked the cashier if she could have the recipe, and the cashier said she could for "two-fifty", so she bought it. Long story short when she got the bill it was $250.00 not $2.50. When she called to try and give it back, and get her money back they wouldn't let her, so in her fury she sent out the recipe to everyone she knew. Now, I don't know if this story is true or not, or if me sharing this fabulous recipe is honest or not, but I made these cookies, and they are delicious! So, here it is:

1 c. butter

1 c. sugar

1 c. brown sugar

2 eggs

1 tea. vanilla

1 tblsp. hot water(I threw this in, I always use a little hot water to help incorporate ingredients)

2 cups flour

2 cups blended oatmeal

1 tea. baking soda

1 tea. baking powder

3/4 tea. salt

chopped/crushed walnuts

bag of chocolate chips

grated hershey bar

Blend oatmeal into a fine powder. Cream the butter and both sugars. Add eggs and vanilla. Add hot water. Then, add oatmeal, flour, baking powder and soda and salt. Add chocolate chips, grated hershey bar, and walnuts. Roll into balls, and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes at 375 degrees. Enjoy!!
