The New Kitchen!

So it is finally done! Well it has been for quite some time, but its just so hard to keep it clean long enough to take decent pictures. This was by far our hardest home renovation project so far, but I am so proud of the hubby for taking this on. New hardware, painting cabinets, and new appliances really made all the difference. We did hire Lowes to come in a do the white subway tile back splash. We have come along way from having the oak cabinets with the floral hardware that was on there before....

You will want to wash your hair after this...

This stuff is AMAZING. I might over use caps in my posts, but if it wouldn't kill your eyes I would have this whole post in caps. My MIL actually turned me on to this product. I was skeptical to say the least. It takes the work of a whole hair product army to get through my overly processed blonde hair. Trust me I have a whole system... if you are a girl like me with a "system" you know how fear strikes you if you are sans one product in your arsenal. This miracle in a bottle is by Chaz Dean. You may know him if you are Bravo TV obsessed like me... he has been on Flipping Out and Jeff Lewis is currently renovating a few of his salons. I purchased mine off of QVC. It is more expensive than your typical shampoo... but this thing is shampoo,conditioner,leave-in conditioner, shine serum, etc all in one. No really.
Plus I use the Sweet Almond Mint version that leaves a nice tingle on the scalp. I can literally brush through my hair straight out of the shower. It's AMAZEBALLS... there I said it. I'm not a fan of that word ever since hearing Kristin Cavallari use it, but this stuff deserves the description.

Two posts in one day... I'm on a roll people

I'm as shocked as probably the one person who reads my blog... yes.. two posts in one day. Actually I wanted to make note of how proud I am of actually starting to purchase Christmas gifts early. I have so far purchased perfume for someone yet unknown (I got a great groupon so some lucky family member will be getting new perfume... just need to figure out who and what to get them... I don't want to be one of those gift givers who gives perfume or cologne to someone... and they have to wallow in spritzing it on Christmas morning and gagging from the smell of something that they may hate- gulp.) I also found a cute Hello Kitty lap top case for my cousin at Best Buy. I don't get Hello Kitty. Just don't get it.
My next goal? Keeping the train rolling so by December I am not freaking about getting gifts for everyone, having a mild seizure every time I look at my bank account, oh you know... the Holidays, right? And if I want to be super impressive... maybe even wrap the gifts with special finesse. I really wish I could be a Martha when it comes to wrapping, but its always a little too much tape and a little too less wrapping paper. I can dream right? (that last sentence gives me a great idea for future posts... hmm... I'm all sorts of creative today lol)

I don't wannnna title.

Can I say just how sick I am of picking out a title post? I think I am just going to veto them. Although I blog stalk every morning while inhaling my a.m. jolt of coffee, I realize I give little support to my own little corner of blogdom. Goal today is to post pics of the kitchen finished... hopefully clean...no promises.

You know its bad when..

You know your reality TV addiction is bad when....

You are reading a blog and the girl mentions the fact that she "pumps" around 8pm after the kids go to bed...and your first thought is picturing her fist pumping in her living room. oy vey.
