March Maddness

If your husband loves march madness as much as mine does chances are you may be asking yourself this question...Is there any part of the year when basketball is not on? Well just to let all who are wondering know the answer is yes! Even with pre-season, regular season and post season games as well as the longest season of ANY sport there are actually a few months of the year when basketball is not on. So as for now, do what I do. Make some veggie pizza and enjoy another game! MMMMM delish!

B-Ball

This is James' favorite purchase of the week. A mini basketball he can use to practice dunking and doing tricks with. No problem palming this!

Snowboarding

We have got to go snowboarding a few times this year. We took James' brother Daniel for his first few times this past month and taught him the ropes. He did great and we had a ton of fun snowboarding some fresh powder at Brighton night boarding! The resort is really fun and they have great 2 for 1 deals for poor people like us. We tried out the terrain park with the half-pipe, rails and jumps and took a few falls but luckily we all came out in one piece. We got some film footage where we had to laugh at how we look like complete amateurs but who cares, it was awesome!

Born in the 80s

I have been wanting to get a new hair style. I was debating between cutting it off or getting bangs. Well, as you can see I decided to go with the bangs. It is a fun new change. I am having fun trying out new styles with my new cut. Isn't it hilarious how styles come back? If you would have asked me in my high school wanna be skater days if I would ever have bangs and wear skinny jeans I would have definitely said, "Never" but now I have both! What can I say, I was born in the 80s. Gotta love trends!

Exclusive Harry Potter Poster

So we just got photoshop for our computer and this is James' first project. As you can see he is having a great time playing with it. We are taking orders if any of you want a signed copy. The price is only 4 easy payments of $19.95, so don't miss out on this amazing limited edition! I am projecting the value to be at least $10,000 in 5 years. What are you waiting for? Order now! Quantities are limited!

Trucker Metal

Continuing in the theme of getting rid of the old we decided to get fix our "trucker metal" vanity this week. Yes, that is right literally trucker metal. For almost 3 years now half of our mirror has been a lovely piece of metal. Not just any metal mind you but the thick kind with rivets that would most likely be used to make a tool box for the back of a truck. We have always wished that both of us could see ourselves in the mirror at one time or that the handle to pull the side of the mirror was not a screw but due to cheap rent and our ability to be grateful we have never done anything about it (o.k. so maybe we are just lazy). After requesting a new vanity a few times we decided to take matters into our own hands. We found a mirror at D.I. and had it cut at a local glass shop into the right dimensions. It was a little too thin so James cut some thin wood and he glued in on as a backing. We then purchased some little stick on handles and put those on as well. And there you have it. For a total of $18 we now have an AMAZING mirror(compared to our old one at least). I slides perfectly and one person does not have to move so the other can see them-self. We were so amazed at how great it was that for at least a half a day we both had to keep going in and look at it(just to make sure it was real). It is so great to feel that we are no longer looking at a trucker toolbox every time we enter the bathroom! Goodbye trucker metal! Wahoo!

Fire Dryer

This week was a week of getting rid of the old and bringing in the new. On Wednesday I was blow drying my hair and all of the sudden sparks starting flying out of my dryer! Luckily none of those sparks landed on my head but it was still kind of scary incident. I have actually been wanting to get a new dryer so I have been hoping it would die sometime but it is one of those things that when it actually happens you are sad mostly because you do not want to spend money getting a new one. Anyway, after some bad hair days and internet searching I found an awesome deal on this super powerful professional quality dryer. So it is out with the old and in with the new!
