Misc.

So this is a mixed bag of thoughts here. ..
First off, the results of the polls. Looks like our hygiene is doing well here. I have to admit I am more of an every other day type girl. I have always heard that it is bad for your hair to be washed everyday, so I try to do it every other day. Don't get me wrong, if I have gotten dirty or or worked out I will shower on a "non-shower" day to keep things clean. I promise I smell just fine! I am pretty sure I know two of the three dirty bird who only shower every couple of days. Girls, don't be afraid of a little soap and water!
As for parenting skills, I am sure some of you saw that there were a couple tens up there and might have thought those people think that their poop don't stink. I was actually pleasantly surprised by the confidence that those people had. I personally don't think of myself as a ten, but go you for feeling like you are really doing the best job you can in raising your kids. I think I gave myself an eight. I think I try REALLY hard to do the right thing for the kids. We go out a lot, they are fed well, dressed, clean, LOVED, disciplined, etc. However, I still can be impatient, spend too much time on the internet, get caught up in chores and have days where they seem to only eat crackers and juice. For those reasons, an eight is what I get. I am still working on being a ten!
After all those years of your mom harping on you to make your bed, it looks like the majority of you decided to say screw it! I am surprised that most of you rarely make your bed. I would say that I often make my bed, but it saves me about 15 minutes on those days when I just don't. I thought for sure I was just being immature by not getting it all done in the morning, but I'm glad to know I am not. In fact, I might just make it LESS often now!
Seriously guys? Criss Angel? This is a subject that came up when I was on a walk with my sister. Holly, one of The Girls Next Door, left Hugh Hefner and moved onto Criss Angel. Personally, I would rather be with a gross old dude, than a girly man that would require more makeup than me. Either way though, this girl has terrible taste in men!
OK, so the most recent news is that the house we were hoping for has fallen through. Things were getting too sticky with it having three loans on it. Now to start again at square one! We decided that this week we are just going to take off from house hunting. I am just going to concentrate on moving and Brooklyn's b-day. So there might be a little bit of a blogging hiatus for a while, but it should come with some pretty cute pictures!

Anyways, I have come across some pretty cool websites lately, so I thought I would share. For those of you living in the OC area, this little story should get you excited. I have never been, but I think it will be fun to try! OK, I love shopping, but my budget is minimal, so I love to find a great deal. This site will let you in on some great deals on fantastic brands. Anyone want to go with me soon? Here are more great coupons and codes to save your money. I am sure most of you have heard of it, but never checked out the site. Seriously, it has a TON of stores on there. It is worth a look! Ooh, and we can't forget this site. Scroll down to the Steals and Deals and they will have codes to save big. Last week they had one for 40% Steve Madden! Last, but not least is this cute little site full of fun party ideas. They are great at gathering from other sites for ideas on all kinds of parties. One day I will be as creative, right? Oh and then you can check out this lady and see if she can make the perfect cupcakes to go with...or maybe just steal her cute ideas!

That's all for now and hopefully my next blog will be full of fun pictures since a blog without pictures just isn't as fun!
