Dont do it

Dear friends,

If you ever hear me say, I think I will wax my own legs tomorrow.
Dont let me do it!
not because it hurt... but for so many other reasons.
so I've been planning to wax my legs for a while, which you have to plan ahead for a while, because you have to grow your leg hair out like 1/4 at least, which takes a lot of devotion not to shave it off...
then you go to purchase this goo, which btw when microwaving smells amazing.
like pina coladas, which we all know I love, so I was excited... I read all the directions like it says then I went about waxing... really it didnt hurt. It hurts a little, but not bad at all, so as I get into it, I realize they only give you like 30 of those little "cloth" strips... I'm only on my calf and I've went through like 7... so I'm thinking to myself... hm... will I have enough?
then as I finish my left calf I think, well lets see how well this excess was comes off... because even though I waxed not all of the wax comes off and not all of the hair comes out. so I get out the little blue bottle full of "soothing and wax removing" liquid. well soothing maybe, wax removing NO! its a mess, my fingers are waxy, my leg is waxy, the bathroom counter... waxy... so I start spreading this blue liquid everywhere, no good,
so I jump in the shower, and use a nice warm water and blue liquid mix, I used over 1/2 the bottle only on my left calf... imagine if I would have done my whole leg... I wouldnt have enough blue stuff and I would be walking around work tomorrow with my pant leg half stuck to me. attractive. as is the bruise I got from waxing myself... I really must bruise easy, ridiculous.
and I had to shave leg anyway! so not worth it...
maybe i should have gotten it done professionally.
so all be warned, do not try this at home.

Sadly

Dear All,

Sadly mister did not get to wear his halloween costume, and entertain little children as they came to our door. We did not pass out halloween candy this year. My Grandfather passed away on October 30th 2009. My mom's Birthday. The funeral was held at my Grandma and Grandpa's house on the following Monday. He will be missed.They were married for 60 years, this past September, I can only hope to make it that long. 58 more to go.

on another note, Josh is heading to Germany this month, returning just in time for thanksgiving, unfortunately leaving all the cleaning to me. and let me tell you, there is a TON!

Happy thanksgiving

Fall Has Arrived

How do I know fall has arrived, other than the chilly and rainy michigan weather?

The colorful decorations at my house begin to show themselves... or run from the shelves at the store to my house...

And...

Mister gets out his Halloween Costume! He's all saddled up and ready to go Trick or Treating!

Finally some time to ourselves!

Well two weekends ago Josh's Brother got Married.
The wedding was really nice and the reception a TON of fun...
and of course everyone looked beautiful :)
congrats Justin and Sabrina...

I'll post a whole album on the website when I get a chance...

then last weekend my best friend had her first baby!
Welcome to the world Little Alex Wilcox!
and Josh and I celebrated our second anniversary.
we went out to a really nice dinner at Pasta Pasta and then we watched mall cop and relaxed at home. It sure doesnt feel like two years!
This weekend we will finally be able to spend at home and get some cleaning done, that will be nice!

New Neighbors

Our Next door neighbors sold their house.
The anticipation mounts to see if we will have awesome neighbors or not, I hope so, cause the ones that are leaving were really nice.

Wedding Events

For the past two weekends Josh and I have been celebrating the last single days of his brother and Sabrina.
Two weeks ago a friend and myself went to Sabrina's Bachelorette party in Put in Bay
It was a great time! I LOVED put in bay and want to go back!

Josh and Justin and a few other friends went to Vegas.
Apparently they had a really good time. But Josh said unless he has a couple grand to spend, he doesnt want to go back and was slightly disappointed.

This weekend the nuptials take place! :)

Last weekend was the going away party for my friend G, She is moving to Texas, which makes me really sad, but I think it will be really good for her. And it will be a great place for us to VISIT! Sibin and Katie live there too, so we could visit them too!

And Stacey is due any day now! I cant wait to meet my new "nephew"!
