Is it bedtime yet?

Gene and I are getting ready for a garage sale on Saturday and boy is it some work! A friend of mine’s mom is having a sale at her house and said I could bring some of my stuff over to include. Gene and I have a huge pile of clothes to contribute as well as a few little things and our entertainment center. I’m being crazy and selling our entertainment center because our main TV is dead and our next TV is going to be an LCD tv and won’t fit on our entertainment center. We’re going to borrow a little side table from my parents when we move to put our smaller TV on in the living room until we can afford (NEVER?) to buy the nice tv of our dreams.

We are getting SO much packed but boy is it taking time. I’ve got about 15-20 boxes of stuff packed and quit a bit more to pack up. I just finished packing 80% of my computer desk. It took 2 boxes and I think it may take another 1/2 box or so. I swear we have SO much stuff! And so much of it that I absolutely refuse to get rid of. I like moving because you always have to go through all of your crap and then you realize exactly how much you have but at the same time, it is SO hard to part with some of your stuff. Especially he sentimental stuff.

I have this great vision of our new home being totally organized and clean and “homely” feeling but I always do that and it always ends up a crazy mess once we move in, lol. I am so thankful that we are moving barely a mile from our current residence. I can’t imagine moving any further than that right now. We would need the biggest darn uhaul they make :/ I am just very thankful that I have a friend who has a truck and my parent’s who both have SUVs. It makes moving so much easier! Thanks Malinda and Mom and Dad.. I love you guys so much! :heart:

I am gonna go kick Astro’s butt. He wont quit growling at nothing. I also wanted to say that I had Sushi for dinner and it was freakin’ delicious. Tomorrow is the downtown Edmond Arts Festival and you can bet your shiney boots that I’ll be there grubbin’ on some indian taco :D Yay for fried bread!

You won’t find any hair plugs here

Tonight I don’t have anything amazing to report on but I do have a few plugs I’d like to tell everyone about. Mostly just websites or products that I’ve tried and loved.

Your Scene Sucks – I can’t even put this website into words. It’s hilarious and I actually laughed out loud several times. If you’re familiar with the music scene at all and the new types of music / fashion that come along with it, you’ll totally appreciate this website. My favorite is the “Prehistoric Emo” :D

CetaphilCetaphil – The best darn facial cleanser I’ve ever tried. I’ve tried a few different cleansers because I have extremely oily skin and this one has been the most effective so far. I used the variety that is for oily skin but from what I read on-line, the normal skin cleanser is just as great. I’ve tried Nutrogena, Dove and other brands of facial cleanser and I always break out really bad within’ a week of using it. So far I have not broken out at all with this product and my face actually feels softer and cleaner. It looks like it is clearing up very well, too! One thing that I really like about this cleanser is that it has a soft clean soap-like scent to it. Nothing over powering and nothing that is going to burn your eyeballs out of your skull :) It doesn’t leave my face feeling “tight” like many other facial cleansers. Try this out if you want a good face wash! It just goes to show that great things sometime come in ugly packages ;)

The Incense WarehouseIcense Warehouse – I usually order my incense from here :) I absolutely love incense and this website has a GREAT variety. It is all categorized by country of origin and very easy to browse. Now I totally know what you’re thinking, how can you buy incense on-line if you can’t give it the sniff test? Well, I say just go for it! I ordered the Green Tea, Bamboo and a set of cones. I also ordered an Incense holder because I didn’t realize that 2 of the packages I ordered COME with incense holders! The Green Tea one came with a tiny ceramic square (that was beautifully painted) with a hole in it (an incense stick holder) and the cone package I got came with a small ceramic bowl for those. Anyway, I just wanted to say how awesome this website is! I got quit a bit of incense for $25. They have flat rate shipping that is $4.95 for orders under $50. I wish I could burn incense with me everywhere I go. I just love the stuff.

Flickr Bento Box Pool – And last but certainly not least, my all time most favorite photo pool ever :) I could seriously spend hours looking through this photo pool without even thinking about looking away. I admire everyones creativity and aspire to someday make my own great bento box. For anyone that doesn’t know, a bento box is basically a Japanese lunch box.
