The Big Brother 11 Office Pool

Kevin

Yes, I drew Scarfy McScarferson in the office Big Brother 11 pool.

Knowing my track record with who I draw in the office pools, I was sure he'd be a nitwit and was destined to go home first.

But I really liked him! He's funny and not at all annoying.

So maybe the streak is broken.....

Giveaway: Buxom Lips

Head over to my giveaway site, Sasha Says Giveaway!, for a chance to win a BE Buxom Lips!

Question

Does anyone currently use Bare Minerals foundation in Light? Email me if so. barelytogether at yahoo dot com

I had an unused jar of this to pass on to someone who would use it, but Clemson Girl has claimed it! Thanks for emailing me!

Dear Wes,

Just so you know, I won't be buying your record.

You give me the willies and country music a bad name.

"Your Daughter"

was a little too quiet last night while I was working on some bookkeeping in the playroom so I went to investigate her whereabouts.

I found her in the kitchen in this get-up that she dug out of a sack of baby clothes that someone just returned to me.

It's a 6-12 month outfit that's pants and a long-sleeved shirt. However, on a 3 1/2 year old, not so much.

She was doing a little jig, although I'm not sure how she was seeing where she was going with that infant towel over her head.

And her name is now "Your Daughter" since that's pretty much what we refer to her as.

Recap Roundup

Yeah, I forgot to take the camera to the ILs, which is where we went Friday for the 4th celebration. We had a fabulous time, but I have not one single picture to remember it by, damn it. I am losing my mind at 35.

Fresh Sugar Lip Gloss Giveaway

Be sure and check out my giveaway site- I've got a tube of Fresh Sugar Lip Gloss up for grabs!

"Your Daughter"

I know that anytime my husband starts a sentence with "Your daughter" there's trouble.

Last night he called me from the golf course and said, "Your daughter just ran over her own leg with a golf cart."

What?

Turns out he and The Politician walked down the fairway to get a ball and left the Wild Child sitting peacefully in the golf cart, and she promised she'd stay put. My husband turned around and saw her standing up in the floorboard with the pedal to the metal... then saw her fall out and get her leg run over.

Luckily, she's fine. Laughing and running and such. She seems to have been given 9 lives to go along with her Conduct Disorder. Good thing.

But just how many heart attacks is she going to give us?

Mamalicious just posted this on FB and I about died laughing. Do you know the time that went into that hair? It involved Awesome hair spray and a blow dryer and hanging my head upside down.....

Tonight I will be looking through my albums for some of her in return......

Last Day for Neutrogena Giveaway

Today is the last day for my Neutrogena sunblock giveaway. Right now there are only 4 entries for the 2 prizes, so the odds are in your favor if you'll just enter!

Good luck!

Reality Check: Shred It or Dread It

Last week Slim and I (and Big Bubba) were eating lunch in celebration of Slim's 35th birthday.

Whilst I was dunking my 59th tortilla chip in the oh-so-creamy cheese dip, Slim smiled at me across the table and said "So, how's your Shred program going?".

Yeah, not well.

So today we start o-vah. I've actually got my WW QuikTrak Diary right here and am logging all food I eat so I am at least accountable to this damn notebook. There are no birthdays at work for a bit so I won't be tempted to make any random desserts. Although I am disclosing that I am going to make Hot Bean Dip and Bacon Ranch Dip for the 4th and do plan on taking a day off-plan to celebrate.

But it's happening y'all- I'm losing 10 pounds by July 23. Pinky-swear.

We Have An Injury

Our very first tball injury.

See those baseball stitch marks? The Politician caught a ball with his face last night. He went to the dugout for a bit but headed back on the field pretty quickly.

He was actually kinda proud of his battle-wound when I asked him if I could take a picture of it before bed last night. But you can see he's pretending to be sad in the photo......

We lost our third game of the playoffs last night, but we've got another chance tonight since it's double elimination. Good luck Cubs!

RH Baby & Child: Who Knew?

Did you know that Restoration Hardware has a baby and child line? I didn't! But I guess they knew how big of a fan I'd be, so they sent me their catalog yesterday (unprompted). Super-smart of them since I of course placed an order today for bedding for WC's big girl full-sized bed.

Uh, huh. How gorgeous is that? I'm going to use that blanket (on sale for $45- regular price $129) as a coverlet and I got two of the matching standard shams for $10 each (regular price $29).

Her bed has a footboard, so we really don't need a bed skirt. I got this boxspring cover in petal for $40 (regular price $80).

And I also got this darling full-sized blanket in petal/chocolate for $35 (regular price $99).

How gorgeous is all that?????? Can't wait to get it.

A New Giveaway!

I've got a new giveaway up at my giveaway blog for some Neutrogena baby sunblock products! And don't forget to enter the iPod drawing... it's been extended until July 6.

The Quest for the Perfect Mascara

This is so cool- Sephora is offering a great kit called Sephora Favorites Lashstash Mascara Deluxe Sampler- samples sizes of 11 of Sephora's most popular mascaras for only $39.

Here's what's included:

• Anastasia Lash Lifting Mascara
• Tarte Lights Camera Lashes
• Sephora Atomic Volume Mascara
• Stila Multi Effect Mascara
• Benefit Bad Gal Mini
• Bare Escentuals Buxom Lash
• Too Faced Mini Lash Injection Pin Point
• Smashbox Bionic
• Lancome Cils Booster
• DuWop Lash Venom
• Korres Provitamin B5 and Rice Bran Mascara

Of course I had to purchase this myself, because I think it owe it to my blog readers to try out each mascara and give my opinion. Isn't that a valid purchase? I think it is.....

Don't forget to go through ebates for 8% back and you can use code 3SJ9HQ for free shipping on $25. I always find great codes on RetailMeNot, so if you are spending more than $50, you'll get free shipping anyway and you can use a code from there for a free product sample.

Need Your Honest Opinion

I am crushed. Defeated. Saddest I have ever been.

Yesterday at Wally World I was picking up a few things we had forgotten to get before the Father's Day dinner at the ILs. I tossed a pack of Mike's Light in my cart along with all the other random things we needed because I always need Mike's Light.

Checking out, I saw a message flash on the screen as the cashier scanned the Mike's:

Is customer under 40?

The damn whipper-snapper chose NO!

Unbelievable- do I look over 40?????????

(And really, I should be honest and tell you I don't actually want your honest opinion- I just need about 20 commenters telling me I totally don't look a day over 30 to re-set my confidence meter).

Go.

Over My Head

If I'm on your blogroll with my OLD blogspot address, it looks like it's not redirecting... it may be a blogger issue, but it also may be a google issue that I am so lost on how to fix. Something about new DNS entries.

At any rate, please update your blogrolls for my domain http://www.sashasays.com/ so you don't get that pesky page not found message!

Although I am thinking this post might be pointless, because if you typically find me by my blogspot address..... how will you see this? I'm going to bed.....
