I hate..

root canals :/ My face hurts so bad!

$7 in my personal bank account..

but every bill is paid and my credit card statement reads $0. NIIIIIICE. We worked our asses off to pay off that card. Being out of work for 2 months brought it up pretty high, but its all paid off now <3

It's been awhile

TONS of wedding stuff is done.. just deciding on a caterer (probably going to use Sonny's), and order our plates and silverware. Time to work on DIY shit, but I've been LAZYYYY. Ugh.

FurFather's Day!

So Mother's Day is coming up, and FI has apparently gotten me a gift (since I'm a new furmomma). So I ordered his FurDaddy's Day gift last night :]

I'm pretty stoked! It was only $4 + $4 shipping. Hope to get it soooooon.

Check!

This is my reception dress! It's so freaking cute. I'm surprising my mom and I'm super excited. She'll be thrilled that I'm changing into a white dress later in the reception. I'm removing the black belt and adding a black sash to it :] STOKED!

My bundle of joy :]

Meet Pugsley Addams S________.

He is 3yrs old and sweet as can be. He's a little OCD just like his momma and daddy :] He's going to the vet on Saturday to make sure everything is perfect with him. I'll update after that!

Easter with the family :]

A few pictures from Easter weekend. The one of the four generations is my favorite. My grandma, my mom, me and my baby sister (10years younger than me, but a full 2 inches taller!)

I felt green, so eye makeup is: Gesso mixed with Aquavert (to make a REALLY pale green), Bitter, Humid, and a bit of Black Tied. The highlight is Blanc Type.

Hope everyone had a 

great weekend!

Makeup Trial.

I figured since I was wearing a purple sweater that night over my outfit, I'd do a quicky makeup trial.

The flash makes it look a lot lighter than it was. Next time I'm going to use more Black Tied to darken it and probably pick up some more Nocturnelle, maybe add a cat eye.. IDK. The inner corner and highlight are Gesso. The lighter purple on the lid/crease is creme de violet. The outer corner is CDV, HIP Flamboyant (the purple side) and mixed with Black Tied. All shadows were applied with #217 and #224. Highlight and brows done with a Sonia Kashuk small brow brush. The liner is a generic black automatic smudge liner, set with Black Tied. Mascara is Maybelline The Colossal Volum Express (Yellow Bottle - my new fave). Eyebrows are filled with Jane "Brownie Points" Eyeshadow. At the time pictures were taken, the rest of my face was bare. I didn't do much though, just foundation and powder. Next time I'm going to add a little bronzer and some blush. I'll probably do a lip gloss too instead of just chap stick (I was on my way to Hooters so I knew I'd be grubbin and couldn't wear lip gloss!)

Apparently I'm clumsy..

Well, I knew that. FI surprised me with an OtterBox for my Curve. LMAO. It is now indestructible!

Awwww!

My baby sister (MOH) had her first kiss today! So excited!

I love these invites!

Why are they $1400 for 50 of them :/

TOM?!

Where have you been!??!?!?!!!

I got a job!

I started last Friday and haven't really had a sec to post. It's an adorable little coffee shop on the beachside of town. It's not much $, but it helps. The tips I get supplement the crappy wage. I work on shifts alone, so all those tips are mine!!! I'm full time, so it helps Mike pay the bills. That's all I was really worried about, covering my own bills so he didn't have to. I'll be making enough to pay my own bills AND help pay off our credit cards. I make about $15-20 in tips daily, so that goes straight into savings. That's an extra ~$400 a month into the wedding fund, and we have 8 months left so $1200 by wedding day :) That's about the price of catering. I'm so stoked.

TTC

One more year. Ugh.

We just discussed this tonight. I have fertility issues and I really don't want to "miss my window". I know, I'm young and have time but I can feel my sand running out :( We're going to start TTC January '10 to see if we can gitter done the old fashion way.

One more long year, and hopefully not to long after that.

Easy BBQ Pulled Pork.

I'm a vegetarian, but my FI is a meatatarian. I usually cook 50/50 vegetarian meals and meat meals during the week. When I cook meals with meat, I make a veg dish and cook the meat in another pan and add it to Mike's plate while serving. THIS is his favorite of my recipes. He could seriously eat it everyday for a week. I love making it for him because its CHEAP and easy. When I make this for him, I usually just throw a veggie burger in the microwave and put it on a bun for myself. I hadn't made it in a while because we haven't had room in our freezer for a pork roast.

Prep Time: 5 mins before cooked, 5 mins after cooked

Cook Time: 8 hours

Price: About $10

Pork Roast: $7

BBQ Sauce: $1

Rootbeer: $0.67

Buns: $1

BBQ Pulled Pork

Feeds.. a lot. LOL.

Ingredients:

• Approx 5lb Pork Roast (I use the picnic roast because it's boneless and comes in halves)
  
• 1/2-1 liter of Rootbeer (I just use Walmart brand, it's cheap and gets the job done)
  
• Brown Sugar
  
• EVOO
• BBQ sauce
  
• Burger buns
  

Directions:

• Picnic roast usually comes wrapped in a net, remove from net. If it is not already cut into two pieces, slice roast down the middle to form two halves.
• Rinse pork under cold water to wet surface.
• Rub on a little EVOO and enough Brown Sugar to cover.
• Place roast halves side by side in crockpot
• Cover with Rootbeer. You can use as must as you'd like. I prefer to cover the roast completely.

COOK ON HIGH FOR 8-9 HOURS

• Once roast is done, turn Crockpot OFF.
• Remove pot (using oven mits!) and drain excess Rootbeer. You can either dump it, or drain into another container to use with BBQ sauce.
• Place pot back in Crockpot and turn onto "Warm"
• Shred pork with a fork. It will be tender enough to fall right apart with little effort.
• Mix in your BBQ sauce

I usually serve this on buns w/ garlic spread for easy handling, but you can serve it on it's own, as a side dish, however you'd like.

M.A.C. Haul

So since I lost all my brushes (yeah, still can't find them). I decided to do a pretend MAC haul and see what the damage would be. It's BAD. I'm so lucky that it's dark right now and I can't find my purse because my credit card would be abused. Without any shadows, pigments, paint pots, or anything extraordinary, including pro discount it comes to :drum roll: $370. Hmph. I need a job. SOON.

What Not To Wear..

Carmindy drives me nuts. She is a shittastic makeup artist. I could do her job 100% better than her. She makes her clients look like 2 cent hookers. It's horrible. It's like a 13 year old trying to put on Mommy's makeup. Really, awful. How can people like her make it, but I can't?! Ughh.

AW: Shoes

My free ceremony shoes just came in the mail. I wanted shimmery purple flats with some gems, and found some on Amazon for $7 from Target. I had an Amazon giftcard and boom! Please excuse chubby feet, shoe's are not broken in yet ;)

I WANT!

Giant Hostess Cupcake!

WELCOME TO MOE'S!

YES! We're pretty sure we're using Moe's as a caterer! It'll end up being around $10pp. It's 'our' place, and I'm soooo excited! We're thinking about having a Taco Bar, Fajita Bar, Mini Burritos, and Chips/Queso/Salsa/Guac, maybe some cookies :D WOO!
