BlissDom and The Bad Hair Day

As you read this I will be:
A) on the road driving to San Antonio at the crack of dawn to fly to BlissDom (Holla at Mrs Flinger who is flying from Houston to Nashville with me!!!)
B) on a plane
C) going bananas over finally meeting all these amazing women

So my dad has been going through family pictures and scanning them onto his computer and every now and then he sends me pictures that make me smile, or tear up or even laugh out loud. The picture he sent me today, well…. ummm.

I really have no words for it:

bad-hair-day-2

There was a reason my gymnastics coach called me a Lion. There is no teasing there people, that was what my hair looked like. My mom would brush my hair and I would scream, many a comb lost their life in that mane.

My shopping tip for today: The Chi iron. The greatest thing to ever happen to my hair, because y’all… not that much has changed between that picture and today. I have the pink one and I love it, but my hairdresser she has the wet/dry Chi and it makes my hair look and feel like silk. I WANT. want. want. want.

People always ask if it’s worth the money. YES! It is worth the money, I went through about 4 of the ‘other’ brand irons from the stores and none even came close to the gloriousness of the Chi.

What’s Black, White and Trimmed in Red?

blissdom-shoes

Oh yes, those would be the super hot Steve Madden “Madden Girl” Shoes that I scored today for $9.99 thankyouverymuch!

Oh yes. I am getting ready for BlissDom and trying to spice up my rather pathetic mom-drobe. You see, I live in comfy flowy skirts, sundresses and flip flops, I don’t own anything that is cocktail worthy, or even dressy casual, at least not anything that’s going to fit.

I’ve been slowly updating my wardrobe and I have been on the search for super stylish and comfy black boots ( FAIL ) and a pair of red heels, every woman should have a pair.
Today, at Marshall’s, I found these shoes, fell in love with their whole Lucy Ricardo vibe, I tried them on and tumbled off the cliff of love. Then, I flipped them over and saw the price! Marked down to $9.99 I was done, spent, it was over. These shoes were mine!!

So, what’s your favorite shopping score? Talk to me.
And if you’re going to BlissDom… I’ll be the girl in the supah sexy Lucy-Ricardo-wishes-her-shoes-were-this-hawt-black and white polka dot, red trimmed heels at the registration table.

Why I Need My Flip on My Hip

Because I apparently have a screw loose (shut up, Dad) I have been kicking my own butt with the 30 Day Shred and while I love it, HOLY FRICKIN’ HELL y’all! OUCH OUCH OUCH OUCH, I actually almost fell down in the grocery store because my thighs nearly gave out on me.
Yesterday, Princess came in to do the Shred with me and while we were doing the “ass kicking’ (seriously, that’s what it’s called) part Princess says to me: “Come on mom, kick it, make that booty jiggle”
Crap.
It took every ounce of strength not to thunk her tight, toned, 5 year old self onto the floor.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

“Monkey, Do it like this” “No, stand here, spread your legs and push out like this”
me: WTH?!


Hearing those words, I went into stealth-mom-mode and made my way towards the bathroom. When I reached the bathroom, I slowly eased the door open and what I saw nearly knocked me on my butt, I was laughing so hard. There stood Monkey in his diaper teetering on a folded up towel with Princess standing next to him angling her hips towards the toilet.  “I’m not sure how it works, Monkey, I just know that boys stand up and point towards the toilet, and girls sit down”

Seriously, y’all? I need my Flip on my Hip, because these two… they could win me that Bob Saget money.
