Happy Beyond : It's September!

Our days are pretty busy, but here's a look at what's been happening...

Elmo is still a big deal at our house.

I often wish I had Elmo on CD for when she gets upset in the car, but I haven't taken it that far yet!

We watched a few redbox movies.

We do not have Netflix, but pick up redbox movies from time to time.

I didn't have any make-up brushes and got a set the other day...they're great!

The brand I got is called "Real Techniques" and you can find them at Walgreen's.

I decided to try out Gel polish...I tried the "Essie" brand I picked up at Target and the "Sally Hansen" brand my Mom had at her house. I have never had the real "gel" stuff before so I can't compare it to that at all. I don't like painting my nails and I am not very good at it either! It's hard to do your own nails isn't it? The Sally Hansen polish dried really fast, but the Essie seems to last longer. I did have the polish peal off when I put too much polish on, but when I redid them I didn't have that problem. They are both easy to take off, with just regular nail polish remover. They both worked well, but I favor the Essie brand.

I had been looking to try new recipes before my Dad passed away this year, but I just haven't done anything new yet for my Deborah's Dishes Blog. I'm not sure why other than it can be expensive to try new recipes at times and I haven't seen any that make me want to try it out either. I did make some old recipes this week...none of which the kids like...Chicken Tetrazzini and homemade Mac & Cheese.

However... Ice Cream has been a winner around here!

I got my hair cut...it's funny how fast your hair can get out of shape.

I finally have a "real" watch! Anyone who knows ME....knows I have an extremely difficult time reading watches or clocks in public because of my dyslexia. I'm so tried of having ugly digital watches (all my life)...so I decided to try wearing an analog one. Since I've gotten older I've learned not to care so much about being embarrassed over it. The problem is that when I get "stressed" (someone asks me what time it is)...my dyslexia gets worse and I can't tell you what time it is...if I'm not nervous I can do it.

It's strange how it works!
