Saw it, Pinned it, Did it...Reindeer Sock Bun!!

Ah! This is my first time linking up with my bebe's Katie and Steph!! Y'all, I had the pleshhaa to meet these fine ass ladies back in May! So I knew when I saw this link up, I had to do it ASAP!

And Miss Priss Hersellllllff!!!

Hoookay. So when it comes to crafting and baking and DIY, I'm all for it. I love trying new things, love feeling like I have accomplished something. HOWEVER....yes there is a however...I always find myself having a mini temper tantrum. I either fight with glue or find myself slamming spices into a bowl. It ain't pretty.

But when I saw this, I knew I had to do it...and knew I COULD do it. So BAM! I saw it, pinned it, DID IT!! Holla for a dolla Weezy! Here is the original pin...

Here's what you need!

1) Googley Eyes

2) Brown pipe cleaners

3) A red pompom

4) Bobbie Pins

5) Super glue 

6) Sock Bun

7) Santa hat earrings and slutty Santa belly ring optional

The first thing I did was attach bobbie pins to the eyes and pompom with super glue. 

Gotta make sure that ish sticks in your head all night long!

I cut the ends off of the brown pip cleaners and used the scraps to form the antler. I didn't need to glue bobbie's on them... I basically just stuck into the bun...those babies stayed put

Have a friend, or in my case, boy toy Kurt, stick everything in and monitor it ALL night

Heres mine!

Voila!!

I wore this to a Santa pub crawl last Saturday night and it was a HUGE hit!!
I am in love with it and it was so so easy to do!!

What do you all think!

So glad to finally link up with you girls!! 

 

Important life stuff, but not really

The past few days have been blech and making me want to run into a stampede of wildebeasts 

And to top it all off, I'm stressed out about what to wear to a Santa Pub Crawl this weekend

Speaking of stressing over outfits

I've been feverishly searching for something to wear on New Years Eve.

I've been googling "New Years Eve Outfits"

And mainly coming up with things like this...

I don't know but....I might get thrown outta da club

That, or everyone would keel over and pass out from my too hot to handle sex appeal

I'm really just looking for something sparkly and cute

Help please!

Oh so the other night I got down on my hands and knees and begged Kurt for a massage

So he starts doing it, all nice and sweet, then he goes 

"Vood Yoo Vike a Sveedish Massage from a hot Sveedish Man?"

And he was completely serious about it 

In other news...

I wouldn't say I have a Kim Kardashian ass

But I also wouldn't say my ass resembles that of Bisquick pancake

HOWEVER

The other night I did squats in heels, because I read once in cosmo heels help the booty tooch
I had also just watched the Victoria Secret Fashion Show

If that wasn't the most random spew of words, I don't know what is

But I hope you all have the best Thursday in the world

I have a work Christmas Party tonight

Let me just say it's at a tequila bar

Nuff said!

My soldier friend...

Last week I happened to be on one of my YouTube adventures. You know, where you start off watching something innocent like Lil Wayne talking about how he makes his Purple Drank, and the next thing you know you're bawling your eyes out to videos of soldiers coming home for the holidays.

I stumble upon these soldier videos quiet often---mainly because they make me so so happy....and the ones where the dogs run up to them? KILLS ME! I couldn't help but think of one of my friends, Tyler, serving overseas for the US Marines in a very mean, nasty, non-holiday-spirtness place.

Especially around Christmas time, I get the giving bug! This was no exception....and I just knew we had to send something to him so he can pretend like it's Christmas! UPS wouldn't let me send a life size Christmas tree, and Kurt refused to let me put him in a box, naked, with a big red bow for Tyler. So we had to make due...

I saw a mini handheld Frogger at Target....

....one left..

I had a mini fight with myself over whether I should keep it for myself. 

But I decided to be nice and put in in his package. 

 

Along with Mario fruit snacks, cookies, Christmas candy, some puzzles, legos, happy notes...

and THEE coolest thing ever found at Target; a light up snowman that you plug into a USB

I just feel really grateful to be able to be home with family and friends for the holidays. I wish to God all the troops could be too, as I can't even imagine how hard that must be for them. A co-worker was telling me how every year her and her family "Adopt a US Soldier" for the holidays which I think is the coolest thing in the entire universe! They send them letters, care packages, and anything that makes them feel more "at home."

Do you know any troops serving overseas during the holidays?

Do you have any care package ideas?
