HH and I were laying in bed the other night. I was reading, so I had my reading light on. HH is laying there looking at me, pretty soon he pipes up and informs me that have a 'mustache' and that I should probably wax it... shut the front door!!!
Good grief! really?! well, I was stupid and decided, 'ok, I'll do it myself. at home'. stupid stupid stupid! Did you know that I am allergic to... pretty much everything under the sun? lotion? yep
deodorant? yep (i do use deodorant, I just have to find 1 that works and NEVER EVER change it!). body wash? yep. sunscreen? yep. laundry detergent? yep. so . do you suppose I would be allergic to the wax stuff? yep. I am. stupid stupid stupid! Why would I even be so dumb to try it? I know why. all because HH. yep. I lay the blame all on him. I called him. I told him what I had done for him... to make him happy. obviously he was not comfortable with his wifes amazingly hairy upper lip (honestly, you would have to use a magnifying glass to even notice it!). so I put myself thru this torture. for him.
I think I need to use that loverly home waxing kit and use it on his hairy chest :) who would like to hear a grown man scream in pain? I would ;) lol
don't get me wrong. I know that many women do wax their lip, chin, brows... ect ect ect. I don't. it hurts. stupid stupid stupid. and if any men read this they should appreciate everything their girls do to make them happy....

Here's Your Sign
We were walking out of WalMart. HH and I. We had picked up 2 rakes (cheap rakes, the BP likes to break rakes). As we are walking around in the store a man comments, "fun. looks like someone is doing yard work". hmmm, yes we are, what was your first clue? (I did not say this out loud to the man, see, there's that darn filter). We get up to the register to pay. A man laughs and says, "someone has a busy week ahead of them!! yard work!" ding ding ding ding!!! the man deserves an award!! how in the world would he know that we are going to be doing yardwork? wow, he must be pyschic!! again I did not say this to the man. I said it under my breath to HH and he started cracking up. So we walk out to the truck. We are almost to the truck. almost home free. when a man walks by and says, VERY loudly, " Oh!! someones doing yard work this week!! Sounds like fun!" I turn and look at HH and he says (to me), " Nooo! we aren't going to do any yardwork. what gives EVERYONE the idea that we would be planning on doing YARDWORK?" and why would we need everyone to point out to us that we must be planning on raking? duh~ thats what rakes are for, right? Everyone is an idiot. Here's your sign.

~10 Things the Brat Pack has said~
drew a blank with that one. sorry. Its the best I could come up with for a blog of randomness that may not make any sense to anyone but me.
1~ So mom, is your blog when you pretend to be funny? ~ Mouth
2~ Oh look, Remington is actually being really good. He's just laying there. chewing on something. and I really don't care what he's chewing on as long as he's being good. ~ Mouth
3~ I'm glad you and dad have never gotten divorced. Cuz that would be alot of work. ~ Beans
(seriously? that comment was made right out of the blue)
4~ am I touching you? am I touching you? am I touching you? ~ Beans
as she has her finger in my face and a big smile on her face. seriously? are you 3 or something?
5~ yay! Little Brother is working with HH today!! ~ Mouth
6~ how is that good? now we have to do everything around here. ~ Beans
(made me realize how much Little Brother does around here!!!)
*sidenote~ Mouth just freaked out and kicked my coffee cup and I spilt coffee all over my computer... all because the dog had slobber on his chin. then I of course freaked out on her. sometimes I wish I had my own happy place that they weren't allowed in.
7~ you can bring a noodle too ~ Baby Sister to Beans
8~ Our happy drug is out!!! ~ Mouth
9~ what! we don't get to read it? But the whole world gets to read it?!?! that's not fair. ~ Beans after I shut the screen so she could not read what I am writing.
10~ SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!!!! ~ quiet the universal expression used by Mouth
Sometimes I wish I could write whatever I wanted to write but I have this annoying tendency to filter everything b4 it gets out of my mind and onto the screen... now that'll make you wonder won't it? "hmmm, what is it that Shanan REALLY wants to say???" lol, I guess that is what my journal is for, but even that I tend to filter....

A post on Wednesday???
Ever get to the point where you just want to paint everything in your house white and start over with a clean slate? yeah. thats kinda how I am feeling right now. I have in my head how I want things to look. Like something out of a magazine maybe? where everything is pristine. dustfree. doghair free. no fruit snack wrappers shoved under the couch cushions. no fingerprints on the windows. dishes always done. plenty of storage.
they must have plenty of storage~ otherwise they would have a few stray sneakers laying on the rug, a beach towel hanging over the kitchen chair, a coat hanging over the back of a chair, a few random crayons laying on a table... I have concluded this by browsing many home magazines. ;)
I'm thinking a very light powder blue for my bedroom. a buttery yellow for the kitchen. a creamy white for the schoolroom (that room is SO dark). white for the livingroom...
HH will not be on board for any of these changes. I know it. He likes the more natural colors... deep greens, browns, tans, dark blues...
It was a very very very long winter. so many days without sunshine. without light. I felt like these walls were closing in on me. So I am thinking that if I make the INSIDE of my house summer all year long, then the winters won't be so hard for me...?
Whatchya' think? think it would work? I have a ton of ideas in my head. Now to make them actually work in real life. Do you think white couches would be a total impossibilty with 5 children and a dog? yeah. I'm thinking so too. Maybe slip covers would work? at least then I can throw them in the wash and bleach the daylights out of them... I invision bright, airy rooms with plenty of sunshine (and if its not really shining at least the bright rooms would make it easier for me to pretend)!!
can you hear a slight desperation in my writing? yeah. it was a very very long dreary winter. and you know me. I need my happy drug. and winters here, you can go a week or more without seeing it. then I get crabby. very crabby. and my creative juices die. its not a good thing.
I'll let you know how this goes over with HH... maybe I'll start posting pictures around the house of bright airy rooms. thats what I'll do! I'll rip pages out of my magazines and post them on the kitchen walls, the porch walls, the livingroom, the bedroom.... yep. think he'll even notice? ;) probably not. but then I can say, all innocently and all, "but Honey, I had all the pics posted on the walls of what I wanted to do. you never said you DIDN"T like it." ;) think that'll work? yeah. I'm not thinking so either.
what a great segway into my newest list of 10 ;)
10 redecorating ideas:
1~ re paint in bright airy colors
2~ slipcovers for couches
3~ curtains, blues, yellows, ect
4~ new flooring!! hardwood? (a girl can dream right?)
5~ light colored rugs
6~ quilt for my bed... pastels!
7~ fresh flowers! in all rooms!
8~ put undercabinet lights in kitchen
9~ take off panelling in bathroom and paint!
10~ sand down desk in livingroom and paint WHITE!
*sidenote~ Beans just read this post, wrinkled her nose, looked at Mouth and said, "she wants to turn our house into a girly house." :P I guess I have my work cut out for me.

Sleepless
Don't you hate it when you can't sleep?
Thats been me the last few nights.
No reason. Just can't sleep.
I lay in bed and look at nothing. I try to
read a book, but really, with HH trying to
get some sleep, and he's exhausted and his
back hurts, its kinda' rude to keep my light
on just because I can't sleep... so I go to the livingroom,
but there is nothing on tv, and lets face it,
my attention span is WAY to short on
a good day to stay interested in a tv show...
So.... I blog :) about nothing.
I have decided to start something different...
I will be calling it my 10 list.
or something as equally boring sounding.
a list of 10 for anything that somes to mind.
I will start with...
10 Things to do when sleepless:
1~ read a book (in the livingroom so as not to disrupt HHs sleep)
2~ do some FB stalking
3~ straighten your hair
4~ clean out the fridge
5~ watch music videos on youtube
6~ look at magazines
7~ figure out your menu for the week
8~ write a novel (this only works if you find yourself with many sleepless nights in row)
9~ lay outside and look at the stars
10~ blog

Sometimes you need to break free ...
I texted my HH the other day. it said...
"Hey sexy man! How is your day? I was thinking....I would like to dye my hair and get a stud in my nose...
Whattaya think??"
He didn't answer my text. he called me. right. away.
"what color?"
ummm, black?
"you aren't serious are you?!?!"
ummm, ya. totally serious.
"I don't think I'll like black hair on you"
well. I've always wanted to see what it would look like...
"ok. well, I gotta get back to work"
*end of conversation*
so last night I put it on my FB. and then everyone let me
know what they thought. and then Auntie
'double dog dared' me.
well. I am a sucker for a dare! and if anyone knew me well enough on
fb, they would have known that the more they all say, "DON"T DO IT"
the more I am determined that I WILL DO IT.
so guess what I did?
yep.
I drove to the big town to go WM and buy hair dye. 'almost' black hair dye...
got home went directly into the bathroom and dyed my hair.
and I LOVE it :)
and HH is pleasantly surprised that he is 'ok with it' ;)
The Pack loves it... well, Beans isn't quiet sure.
I told her, "so, I can lose about 150 lbs..."
'yeah, and we'll look like twins', she interrupted me.
she didn't seem all that excited about that prospect.
hmmmm.
* notice during that phone conversation with HH?
he didn't say ANYTHING
about me piercing my nose? yeah.
I'm thinking end of summer?
if I reach my goal. :D wish me luck!
