Curly vs Straight...Long vs Short

So I have let my hair grow out.  At this point I am not sure if I am happy with it at all.  Each day I think today is the day I am calling Nikki and telling her to cut it all off.  Then I talk myself out of it.  I really love Reese Witherspoon in the picture below, but I know that I will never have hair that straight.  EVER.  Or bangs.  Bangs that curl up are not a good thing.

This style (Isla Fisher) is pretty easy for me and I have been wearing it a lot.  It's pretty much my go to hair.  Although her curls are more tamed than mine are.

I love the way you can throw it in a ponytail or pull it back in a clip.  What I don't love about it, how long it takes to wash and dry.  The Gwyneth Paltrow style is what I want.  

But I will end up with hair like Chalize Theron below:

Yeah so I have no idea what I want.  Sigh...

                                       
Again I have no idea what I want...  Muah.

The Castle is starting to look a lot like Christmas!

Well, the Diva and I spent the day making the Castle, Holiday Ready.  We love our new tree, it's kinda skinny, BUT hey Skinny is good!  The Diva and I listened to Christmas carols and decorated up a storm.  We are happy with the results, still not completely finished but we made a good start.  Let me know what ya think.  :)

Thanksgiving Attire

This was my inspiration outfit.  I really liked it a lot.  There was just something about the grey and yellow together.

So I went to my closet to see what I could dig up.  I was not sure I even owned anything yellow no matter how much I liked it.  Imagine my surprise when I came up with not only a yellow shirt but a yellow necklace as well.  I thought it worked out nicely.  I decided my grey riding boots were a better option than flats (not that I have many flats to choose from and certainly do not have any yellow ones.

 Keeping with the grey theme, the diva also decided a grey tunic sweater was appropriate Thanksgiving attire.  Notice she is also sporting her black riding boots.  And we basically have our hair fixed just a like.  Hey, she is not my mini me for nothing. 

I hope Everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving.  My BFF is picking me up in just a few and we are heading out to go shopping!  :)

this and that

Well I know I said I would post a picture of the Diva in her horseback riding attire, but well it was raining and I was completely remiss in getting that photo.  Sorry... we will recreate it, I am sure.

The last 2 days have been exercises in futility for me.  Nothing has gone the way I wanted it too!  Not one dang thing!  Work is making me crazy... but that is a completely different blog... not something for everyone.  The house looks rough.  Although for the life of me I can't figure out when we had to time to dirty it, since we have barely been here.  I am almost certain Elves dirty it when I am sleep.  Or maybe Presley is having kick butt parties when we are not here.  All I know if I am constantly cleaning it and it's still dirty.  And other stuff BUT I will not bore y'all with any of that, because Thanksgiving is barely over a day away and I know I have much to be thankful for.

So what do I have to be thankful for?  For starters my Diva of course, she makes life entertaining and wonderful.  Who knew you could love one kid so much???  Oh, wait; other Mom's knew that.  I know I have said this before, but given the chance she is going to change the world one day!  I promise you that!  The husband, yes I am thankful for him.  Even if choking him till he turned purple crossed my mind earlier today.  I am still thankful for him, always.  If I had to do it all over again tomorrow, he is still the one I would choose.  For all the million reasons he drives me crazy, there are a million more reasons why I love him best.  My family and friends, love them best as well.

Happy Turkey Day... :)

Saturday = happiness!

The Diva is putting the final touches on her room.  Birthday party + Bribery(Threats) = Clean Room.  Or at least at my house it does.  She is really excited to go to her friends birthday party.  It is a horseback riding party.  So of course she has to be properly attired.  She was mad because I would not buy her this to wear:

She looked it up on the web and told me that was what she needed.  I told her she was not in a national riding championship.  She was going to a 9 years old's birthday party.  We compromised and decided to wear jeggings and cute top along with her black boots.  We however do not have the hat and I told her she did not need the riding crop.    We will do her hair cute to make up for not having the hat.  She is now searching for cute hairstyles to compliment her outfit -her words.  So there is not any telling what she will come up with me to do to her hair.  Her birthday is in a little over month and now she is worried about what she will do for her party.  She wants to have an Alice in Wonderland Lawn party.  I have told her that is a cute idea, but remember it is January.  I told her lets make it through Thanksgiving and then we will think about the Ali Holiday. 

Happy Saturday, Everyone.  Do something fun or do nothing at all, just enjoy it.  MUAH!!!!

Weather in Florida

The weather in Florida is so much fun.  One day you are in shorts the next you are in fleece.  The Diva says I am wearing a coat today and shorts.  I told her to just wear jeans and you will be fine.  She shook her said and "But Mom, those crazy folks at School don't know how to check weather.com."  Today we are going with jeans, t-shirts and boots.  Boots are always the answer as well- according to the Diva.  Below you see the weather report.  She still thinks she needs a coat-her words.

This look is cute and affordable...

Okay I was able to play tonight and put together a similar look to the one I posted on Tuesday.  This one is pretty close.  Obviously it's a little different.  The total of this look is $245 meaning it is $8332 less.  Let me know what you think.  :)
