Excited!

Hello!

Holy Goldfish Batman I am excited today! I have a lot to be excited about!

1. I dyed my hair Raspberry!

I thought I had more red than I actually did. I mixed about 2 tablespoons in with about a 1/2 cup of Raspberry Kamikaze over faded red hair (looked like ugly puce!). It's Breast Cancer Awareness month so I don't really mind having pink hair! The turquoise I used about a month ago still lingers in a patch you can see in the second picture.

2. I got Rainbow Connection!

Sorry about the horrible state of my nails. I kinda slapped the polish on so I could get pictures. I was in the mall picking up a couple things when I walked by the head shoppe (a hair salon, not a pot seller!) and saw The Muppets Holiday 2011 Collection! I had heard they were coming out early November, so I was suprised to see them, and knew that I had to scoop up Rainbow Connection NOW! I got the last bottle. It's a lot more pricey than what I normally pay for polish (I buy LA Color or Sinful Colors most of the time) but it was a lemming for me. That's never happened with a polish. It's just so glittery and happy!

3. ♥elycia has an awesome contest going on!

I love the stuff at Mungo Crafts! The hoodies are just adorable. Click here to see the giveaway. My birthday is the day she announces the winner, so hopefully that will give me some luck!

4. My birthday is a week from today!

That's me! I wore a lot of pink but I still got mistaken for a boy (I was pretty much bald until I was 2). I really want to go to Darrell's Restaurant for a peanut butter burger and the best milkshakes in Halifax! I'll also go see the remake of Footloose. I'm very wary as the original is my favorite movie OF ALL TIME. It came out the year I was born, so I've watched it hundreds if not thousands of times. John Lithgow is awesome in it and Kevin Bacon is a total fox. I know it will never live up to the movie I could quote in my sleep, but I will go for a birthday bit of nostalgia.

5. My husband's birthday is on Hallowe'en!

Yep, our birthdays are a week apart. He is 51 weeks older than me. He loves horror movies (wonder why?) so his plan is to see the remake of The Thing. It's his favorite movie, made the year before he was born (it's really eerie, dontcha think?). I watched it for the first time last weekend and all I gotta say is- disgusting. Not scary, yucky. I'm not too keen on puppets and animatronics (might be from growing up in the 80s when EVERYTHING was puppets and stop motion and animatronics), and this is some of the grossest sampling of imagined creatures I have ever seen. I think the new one might scare me more.

I'm off to cook some chicken tornadoes (chicken wrapped in bacon) and maybe rice? Veggies? I got as far as SOMETHING WRAPPED IN BACON! I eat a lot of vegetarian and vegan meals, but chicken and bacon are two foods I feel I will never be able to give up!

That's all for now! Thanks for stopping by!
