Monday, Woof.
To those of you who go to work every Monday morning and slave away to the man... I salute you.
I typically work Monday nights, so this "case of the Mondays" is brought to you by my boss' vacation. She's out until July 5th and I am seething with jealousy.
Even though, as she keeps pointing out, I have at least 10 vacation days to schedule and I have yet to do it. Because it's impossible to make plans with friends who are allll over the dang place. Literally and figuratively. My boss, sweet lady that she is, made a copy of the July schedule so I could see when I could fit in some days off, and when I couldn't (when other managers have time-off scheduled)... I just went to grab the schedule and, of course, it's not in my purse. So I get to make another copy today. And then put it in my wallet and not lose it. Go team.
----------------------------
I'm in a major blogging rut. I made a conscious decision that I want to NOT give up on this blog (I wasn't considering it, but it works nicely for dramatic effect here).... and since it's summer and everyone's posting a bit lighter... I just feel a little lost.
I don't have awesome giveaways or the best pictures or a crap-ton of crafts.... what I do have is a million and one Classy Bookshelf posts (hmm, my book-reading has taken off and my blogging has suffered - don't think that's a coincidence!).
I think that I shall beg you all to give me questions and fabulous post ideas on Wednesday.... what shall the incentive be? Target gift card? (I mean honestly, is there ANYTHING better than Target? I dare you to tell me what it is.)
As for Monday... I gotta to go put my big girl panties on and deal with The Man bright and early today. Somehow, he was much easier to face at 1 pm. Woe is me!
Happy Monday (kinda)!
Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
As I promised on Monday, we've got a Big Prize on the line here today.... $25 big ones to Target, also known as Heaven.
(Weird side note: I swear on all that is holy that I bought a $25 Target gift card yesterday and stuck it in my wallet. Just went to go grab it... and it's not in my wallet. Is this real life?)
Anyway, please, for the love of blogging, ask me anything. The more awkward and personal the better.
(Unfortunately, not sponsored by Target or anyone affiliated with them. If Target wants to sponsor my life, all they have to do is ask.)
You have until next Wednesday to win.... just ask me anything!
Mr. RH... He's Not Perfect
People often tell me that Mr. RH seems so perfect. And it's true, he really does. He can tolerate Housewives, thinks my blog is fun (he's on drugs), tweets because I am obsessed with twitter, and doesn't hate shopping.
I know, my list of traits for "the perfect man" is long and detailed.
But oh.... he has flaws.
Or, as he might say, I have flaws too. Not that I'll ever admit it.
Read about his (my) most heinous flaw over on Wearing Mascara today.... and then tell me I'm right, ok? My ego can't handle it if he's right.
(Also, warning, I think I was a sassy bitch when I wrote that post. I seem... angry.)
My Most Embarrassing Moment with Mr. RH
So, earlier this week, Leigh asked me about my most embarrassing moment. I had actually just handed over my most embarrassing moment to Southern Belle to guest post on her blog... so I told you guys to sit tight.
And it's posted today - and holy hell, it's embarrassing.
Head on over to Southern Belle and read all about it.... or not, if you totally skip this one post, that's fine with me!
Haha, I promise it will not disappoint. Probably.
More Answers, More Problems...
First of all, I seem to have slacked on picking a winner of the $25 Target gift card. Not really sure what happened there, but have slept since them.
There were 47 delicious questions... and the winner is....
Lucky #12 - Leigh!!
And now.... more questions and answers.
Beth’s Blog asked…
All these questions are so good and mine is lame but what is your favorite summer item?
Sundresses, without question. Not wearing pants is one of the highlights of summer for me - I can't even tell you the last time I wore shorts when I wasn't exercising. I wear a dress for everything - grocery shopping, dinner with friends - literally, everything.
Melissa asked…
If we reviewed your bank statement, what charge would we see most often? What's the most embarrassing show you watch on TV? How much money would someone have to pay you so that you'd never shop at Target again?
Hmm, I think, at this point in my life, the biggest chunk of my bank statement is for lunch and dinner's out with Mr. RH. We tend to split them pretty evenly, but DAMN we spend a lot of money eating out. We decided, at the beginning of the summer, that we were going to try and curb our eating out - but it hasn't gone too well. So we renewed our commitment a couple of weeks ago and are doing well so far. Beyond that, it's probably trips to Target for random crap.
The most embarrassing show I watch is any Housewife show. They've honestly gotten so bad I don't even know why I bother anymore.
I don't think there's enough money in the world to keep me from Target. It's not even anything specific - I just love that place. Mr. RH and I wandered around last night while waiting on a work meeting to start and ended up with SmartWater, iced tea, and a water bottle. You just never know what you're going to find!
Kimber asked…
What’s your favorite show? what is your best shopping bargain? What is your favorite thing from Target?
My favorite show is a tough question - I'm a total TV-aholic. And since my TV has DVR now... well, it's really spiraled out of control. I'd have to say one of my absolute favorites is Army Wives. It's a Lifetime show, so I should be skeptical, but it's awesome. I can barely go one episode without crying.
The best shopping bargain... that's a tough one. I find lots of great deals at TJ Maxx. I seem to have particular luck finding awesome kitchen stuff on clearance there, and their shoes and dresses can be hit and miss. But when it's a hit - it's a hit! My best shopping tip is patience. You *may* miss out on something great - but typically, it WILL go on sale. Do your research and just wait. It sucks, but it CAN save money!
My favorite thing from Target is the clothes, hands down. I have a pair of green shorts from 2004 (8 years old, people!) that are still in perfect condition that I bought on a whim. I just love Target, honestly. And also, my favorite thing is my Target RedCard. Cause it's awesome and a horrible idea at the same time (but you save 5%!).
Sami asked…
Do you want to stay at your current job for a long time? I used to work retail and I didn't think I could ever do it for more than a few years!
Ohh, isn't this the question of the century! I love my job - I love my customers, love the stuff I sell, love working at the mall (most days). But - retail is really, really hard. The hours, the selling, the customers... it can be extremely difficult. Especially when you are trying your hardest and it's not working.
I do not see my current job as my lifetime job. It's hard to see myself leaving, but I hope to eventually do so.
Sarah asked...
What is your favorite nail polish color?
This is such a tough question!! If you had asked me a couple of years ago, I would have without hesitation said Dutch Tulips by OPI. But I currently find that color a bit too red and not purpley-pink enough. Yes, that's a technical answer. I am loving OPI Koala Berry and tried Essie Mint Candy Apple on my toes recently.
I was browsing Pinterest a while back and saw this pin... Essie Size Matters.
Not my mani!! From the Polish or Perish blog.
I had to drive to 2 different Ulta's (and numerous Targets) before I found it. I haven't used it yet, but I am lusting HARD over this color. So beautiful!
Tess asked
How do you feel like your family is holding up without your mom? Has "normal" returned? Will it ever? Are your dad and brother as strong as you (seem to be)? Ok, I'm sorry for the multiple questions - and for their downer-ness.
Woof, this is a tough question!! I'm not going to lie - having a dad and brother to deal with my mom's death... it's not easy. Both of them would rather just not say anything, ever. We don't talk about my mom often, which breaks my heart sometimes. It's not that they're trying to bury the past or anything - I think it's just so painful for us that it's easier to leave some things unsaid.
That being said, it's still really hard. I'm sitting here with tears streaming down my face because - as many friends as you have, as awesome as your dad is, as much as your boyfriend loves and cares for you - it's just not the same as having your mom around.
I think we have a new sense of "normal" though. I no longer cry on every single holiday because she's not there, and I've accepted the fact that my dad and brother would prefer to NOT try and recreate the holidays we had when she was alive.
I would say we are all doing OK. I am anticipating some wedding planning in my future and am really dreading not having her around for that. I know that some family members and friends will try and take her place in all the festivities and planning - but that's really, really going to suck.
Krista asks…
If you woke up tomorrow with an unlimited supply of cash and nothing to do for the next 3 days, what would you do? Your unlimited cash supply is ONLY available for those 3 days.
God, I WISH THIS WERE TRUE!! I would probably jump in the car immediately and first buy all the stuff on my want list. It would probably only take a couple hours. In the meantime, I'd be calling and texting my friends and family and beg them to meet me somewhere nice - maybe on the beaches in Michigan.
I would have obviously some HW to make sure the giant beach mansion I rented was equipped with wifi. I'd gather everyone together in the house, tell everyone how much I love them, and fill the house with food and drinks and just hang. No going out and going wild - no big plans. Just fun, sun, and everyone I love all together.
And when everyone passed out at midnight, I would grab my laptop and shop the crap out of the internet. Cause that's how I roll. I'd get Mr. RH's family a bunch of gifts, get a shiny new car for Mr. RH, but mostly it'd be fun, sun, family, and friends. And online shopping.
----------------------
I think this is enough for today, don't you think?? Have I worded you to death???

Movie Quotes: Have A Little Faith
In the beginning there was a question,a question that took me 8 years to answer.
- Mitch Albom
Will you do my eulogy? That was his question.
My question was more blunt, why me?
I was a writer, a sports writer.
I've never done anything like what he was asking.
But as he walked down that hallway, although I didn't know it yet,
I was already following.
- Mitch Albom
This is a story of believing in something,
and the two very different man, who taught me how.
One was Alber Lewis, who follow the traditional path.
He's studied, was ordained, took a position at her temple, and never left.
The other, was Henry Covington.
He came to faith in a more round about way.
He starting with a things he saw as a child in the early 60's, in Brooklyn.
- Mitch Albom
Someone once said that children are proof
that God has not discouraged.
But what keeps a child from losing faith?
- Mitch Albom
Albert knew when funny was the right medicine,
and when not so funny was the right medicine.
- Mitch Albom
Later that night I said to my father,
I says, it's not fair their family's not religious but they have money.
We're religious and we don't.
- Rabbi Albert Lewis
Mitch: What profits a man if he gains the world that loses his soul.
They say that power gives you the praise of man
but weakness brings you to God.
- Mitch Albom
Albert: So maybe faith is the same.
Many trees, the branches are all going to him.
Mitch: Have you looked at the world like..
The trees are attacking each other.
Albert: That's not faith, that's hate.
Mitch: Engaged in the name of a religion.
Albert: At wrongly.. "though shall not kill; honor thy neighbor."
If I mean these things, and the other guy means these things,
what do you get?
Mitch: Peace on earth.
Albert: You get orange juice, the big one.
I gonna go buy it.
Do for others.
Isn't that a half most man of God challenge us?
And it begins with the understanding the pain, of those around you.
Sometimes the pain of strangers,
and sometimes the pain of those closes to you.
- Mitch Albom
My friends, if we tend to the things that aren't important in life,
if we are right with those we love, and behave in line with our faith.
We will never wallow in the agony of "I should have, I could have", no.
We can sleep in the storm.
- Rabbi Albert Lewis
"If you tacka my space
I breaka you face."
- Rabbi Albert Lewis
Albert: He who saves his single life is as if he saves the entire world.
Mitch: Who said that?
Mitch's wife: It's the talmud, Mitch.
Albert: Your faith.
You never know the moment when a eulogy goes
from something you think about
to something you require...
This was not that moment.
- Mitch Albom
Grant me atonement.
Those were his last three words on the pulpit.
Then he took the seat of the back row of the sanctuary.
He's sermons were now complete.
- Mitch Albom
I used to think I knew so much
I can look down on a scawful things, even faith.
But I realized that night that
I am not better or smarter than anyone,
only luckier.
The man sleeping on Henry's church floor never look down.
They only looked up, to find comfort and love.
And I realized that in looking at Henry Covington,
I was seeing the rarest defends, a changed man.
Keep trying that you're glory.
- Rabbi Albert Lewis
I realized later it's not, about having the answers in life.
It's about the search for the answers.
The choosing to believe in something bigger than your self
that makes the journey of faith, so challenging, yet so worthwhile.
Whether it's sitting with an old rabbi and talking about God,
or replacing a churches riddled roof hole
in something a little more inspiring.
You share this world, we can share it well.
And there's nothing quite like different people
finding common ground to fix the holes in their lives.
- Mitch Albom
In the beginning there was a question,
in the end their question getting answered.
God sings, we hum along.
A simple, beautiful, song.
- Mitch Albom
Movie Quotes: A Bag of Hammers
Alan: Give me some timeBen: Give me some choices.
So.. what's the grief of the day,
actually forget it,
I don't wanna know.
- Mel
You're a liar and a coward, Ben.
And maybe one day,
you'll realize that it's not some great embarrassment to have feelings,
or care about somebody, you know?
Or probably you won't figured it out
until you're an old pathetic man
who lives in a flap house downtown,
tryin' to steal food from the garbage can,
to keep your incontinent body
from shutting down from gideon boredom.
- Amanda
We all get a bag of hammers, you know what I mean?
I mean whether it's been poor or catching cancer, divorce,
losing your brother, losing your mother, you know what I mean Kelsey?
It's.. well, but the thing is, the the thing is,
is what you do with these hammers, when you get 'em.
'Cause that's what shows you what kind of a man, you are.
Even if you're not ready to be one yet.
So, this is gonna be hard to hear, okay?
- Ben
He had no one, we had each other.
- Alan
You don't know how to do anything except walkout on people.
- Mel

Seven Halloween Treats For Your Next Fiesta
I might someday, but I already have the ideas for the food and treats!
Pinterest - heard of it? They've helped me out a lot. Also Pinterest is the reason for the lack of my productivity.
Seven Halloween Treats
- Mystery Box(of eyeballs) - All I will do is peel a bowl full of grapes and get them nice and cold. Then I will paint a box black with a cut out in the top of it and add a creative sign. Something about stick your hand in here, eyes were seen here, blah blah. And now I've ruined my surprise for everyone.
- Brain Cupcakes - I will bake vanilla cupcakes and fill with something red. Jam or cherry filling or something like that. Then I will make a putrid beige colored icing and pipe it to look like brains. Then you crack it it open and the blood comes out.
- Spider Webs - Take some pretzel rods and arrange them in an asterisk shape like this: *. Connect the pretzels with concentric lines of white chocolate and a bit of a blob in the center. Then fashion a mini spider out of a brown M&M and some chocolate jimmies. Repeat for all guests.
- Candy Corn Sugar Cookies - Make your favorite roll-able sugar cookie dough recipe. Divide dough in three and color some orange, yellow and leave some white. Layer the colors in a pan, chill. cut the stacked dough into strips and then cut them into triangles. The will be reversed but adorable! Food color is magic.
- Ear Wax - Take an old box of q-tips. Empty and set aside. Then take some lollipop sticks and put a mini marshmallow on each end. Dip each marshmallow in some butterscotch or caramel sauce to resemble ear wax. GROSS but also perfect and delicious.
- Eyeball Truffles - White chocolate truffles in a traditional round shape. Pipe on them in colors to make the irises and then red lines for a bloodshot look. I literally just thought this up. GOLD STAR.
- Witch Hats - Take one of those fudge shoppe cookies that the bottom half is dipped in chocolate. Flip it to chocolate side up. Then put a naked kiss on top. Using a festive colored icing, pipe a ribbon decor where the hat meets the brim.

This is radio rebel live from the underground.
You don't know who am I,

So, turns grade to bring handed out
I think will give all of us
A looking may high,
and F for labeling each other.
Jocks, outcasts, dorks,
teen leads, and their fellow pops
and newborn pops.
Guys these are all labels
none or we really are.

You! Are! Nothing! Nothing! Nothing!
You! Are! Nothing!

No container, no contained.
No birth, no death.
It's a freakin' riddle.

It's only one part of tortion.
No one kill themselves because they red a story.
I don't care how good a writer you are,
you can't kill someone with words.
I have a theory..
a reason people commit suicides is because they don't like themselves.
Self hatred, I think it's a very reasonable explanation.

Maybe the question isn't,
why she killed herself what she did
but why she chose to stick around with what what she did.

I made you, but you're not me.

Give me a firm handshake.

Mr. RH... He's Not Perfect
People often tell me that Mr. RH seems so perfect. And it's true, he really does. He can tolerate Housewives, thinks my blog is fun (he's on drugs), tweets because I am obsessed with twitter, and doesn't hate shopping.
I know, my list of traits for "the perfect man" is long and detailed.
But oh.... he has flaws.
Or, as he might say, I have flaws too. Not that I'll ever admit it.
Read about his (my) most heinous flaw over on Wearing Mascara today.... and then tell me I'm right, ok? My ego can't handle it if he's right.
(Also, warning, I think I was a sassy bitch when I wrote that post. I seem... angry.)
It's Fridayyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think that the heat wave is currently frying my brain. I made a little to-do list (in my brain) last night of stuff I wanted to get done this morning before work (since I don't work till afternoon)... and I've already lost it.
All that I remember is that I wanted to use my Ulta coupon for 20% off... I need a cute turquoise/blue nail polish for my toes (Turquoise & Caicos by Essie is the current front-runner) and some volume-creating hair product.
------------------------
Did I mention how much I love all the questions on my shameless beg-for-questions post??
There's STILL TIME to put in your question for a $25 gift certificate to Heaven (aka Target). Go right now, I'll wait.
------------------------
I think this is going to quickly turn into a randoms post.....
- I really, really, reallly REALLY need to clean out my closet. I'm good about purging stuff I never use, but it's a lot harder to purge the things that I kinda-sorta wanna wear sometimes. I feel like my closet and dresser are full of clothes I never wear... the ones I wear are always on a drying rack cause I just washed them!
- Girls with ultra-fine hair... what do you style it with? I like Big Sexy Hair Blow Dry Volumizing Gel and Redken Thickening Lotion well enough. My big hair issue is that, without product and a good blow-drying, my hair has NO texture. It is fine and thin and straight. I should post a picture of it someday, it's truly awful.
- I have been spending money like it's my job lately. I guess that's not really new news.
- I have serious baby fever. I have some extra vacation days my boss is nagging me about... I'm tempted to book a trip to Oklahoma to snuggle Megan's twins. It's freaky how often I think this, I'm basically a stalker.
- How is it almost July? I just lost my mind. Pretty depressed that fireworks are cancelled this year, HOWEVER, I think it's the right decision. I can't imagine what the hell people are thinking PROTESTING the burn bans. My aunt evacuated her home in Colorado... they could lose everything they own. No brainer, people.
- Mr. RH and I are watching LOST from the beginning. Who cares about anything, all I want to do is watch LOST.
- The amount of things I could add to this bullet list is endless, really. You're welcome, I'm cutting myself off.
Don't forget to ask me anything! You could be the big gift card winner!
