It is time.

As I was getting ready for work this morning, I could hear a little voice inside my head.

Well, let's be honest, I usually do hear little voices when I'm getting ready ... but this one was different.

As the round brush got stuck in my hair once, twice, three times ...

... and I lifted each section of hair to be fried in the flatiron ...

The voice kept repeating ...

"It is time."

I would have found it more annoying if it hadn't been the voice of Rafiki from The Lion King.

(Be honest, you read it in his voice too, didn't you?!)

So it is time.  Time for what, I'm not sure.  Time to chop it off.  Time to get extensions.  Something!

I wish there was way to make your hair grow longer overnight.  Like you could just wish it and it would happen.  That would be great.  Right now I'm feeling pretty impatient.

Growing this hair out is taking entirely too long.  And now it's at that gross stage ... not long enough to pony, too long to not ...

Anyway, just thought I'd share a chuckle this morning.

Oh, and to save myself some time later, here's the update on the house!

New powder room -- check!
New laundry room -- check!
New K's room -- check!
New T's room -- check!

 Now we are just waiting on some new big boy furniture for Tanner's room and we will be DONE.

And we are exhausted.

But it does look fabulous!!

Well, it's not blue.

Here's the dress purchased for this evening. I also had to buy two pairs of shoes because I couldn't decide which ones I like best. I'll just return the ones I don't wear. Naturally, the first thing Tim said was, "Where's the bottom?" Yeah, it's pretty short. In fact, I asked the salesgirl if it was supposed to be a shirt, and she assured me it is a dress. I just can't imagine someone taller than me wearing it as a dress. Anyway, the second thing Tim said was, "You're gonna freeze your ass off." He always says that. He said it when I wore the nurse outfit too. I have to remind him that we won't be outside. So I'll take lots of pictures. And hopefully no one else has the same dress. And hopefully I'm not over dressed ... which has to be impossible when there is so little dress to speak of! Happy New Year!!

Candy corn, candy corn, how I love candy corn ...

It's not the little chocolate bars in the Trick or Treat bag that do me in. It's not the pumpkin spice lattes or the gingerbread cake. I love this time of year, especially the foods. But what is the absolute best food? Why is autumn so wonderful??

It's the candy corn. Especially the "autumn mix" candy corn with the little pumpkins. Mmmmm. Yes, I'm an addict. We keep some in a little pumpkin in the kitchen, and I cannot walk by without reaching for a bite. The kids are the same way, and so is Tim. Needless to say, we have gone through about 4 bags of autumn mix candy corn since the beginning of October!

You're thinking, "Keisha, you are a dork. Why are you blogging about candy corn?" Well, as most of you know, I'm a Weight Watchers fiend. And in my quest to find tasty foods that are low in points, I have discovered that candy corn is 150 calories and 0 grams of fat per serving. "Wow," you say. "That's, like, 2 points. Not really worth it for a few pieces of candy corn." But, NOOOOOOOO! It's not just 2 points for a few pieces. It's 2 points for 23 pieces of candy corn!!!!!

Holy crap! So eat up, girls and boys!! And stock up while you can find the good stuff everywhere!!! It's sure to cure your sweet tooth when you have a that little craving for something sweet. :)

TAG, I'm it!

I've been tagged in the blog world by Jamie. Apparently I have to tell you 5 random things about myself. Here's goes:

1. I wear Invisalign braces at night.

2. My favorite kind of muffins are bran muffins -- actually I like anything bran ... flakes, muffins, cereal, granola bars, cookies.

3. I didn't ride my first roller coaster until I was 21 years old, and my first one was the Ninja. Crazy, I know!

4. I have known my best friend Stacey for 24 years, since 1 st grade. She moved in 5th grade and we are still best friends!

5. I don't know how to ride a bicycle.



Now I tag Heather, Jason, Karen, Anne, and Amy/Tim.
