I saw this on Youtube last week and fell in love with it! I have this new obsession with makeup so I am so excited to try this out this Halloween. I don't have the supplies that she has, so I am sure it won't look as good but oh well. Make sure to watch it until the end to see the transformation (and the bonus Wicked song!)- love the glammed up witch!
Enjoy and Happy Halloween! Check back for photos of Batman and Robin!

A Wicked Halloween

Has it really been a month and a half since I last posted? That is really sad- I probably don't have any blog followers anymore and I am sure I am just talking to myself right now. But I will go ahead and give my lame-0 'I have been busy' excuse.
Quick update- the bathrooms are done and they look great! I will try to get around to posting my before and after pics, right after I clean the now dirty bathrooms and take the after pictures. But considering I have a few sessions to edit, two Halloween costumes to make and a Primary Halloween party to plan it might not happen this week.
Now, on to the tagging. I have been tagged a few times and despite my good intentions, I rarely follow through with them because of my horrid procrastination habit(which is also the reason you have still not seen our beach pictures- or the Gettysburg photos from last July 4th, etc.)
Anyways, so when my good friend Mel tagged me I was determined to sit down and do it immediately knowing that otherwise it would never happen. So here goes:
Six Quirks of Mine
1- I have a really bad habit of picking at my toenails when I am either sitting at the computer or watching TV. I know it is disgusting- but I just cannot seem to leave them alone, especially when I am under stress. Hey, at least I pick at them with my fingers and not my teeth. Tim bought me a gift certificate for a pedicure at a really nice salon last Mothers day and I have still not been able to use it because I can't seem to grow my toenails long enough. And I would be so embarrassed if they called me out on my toenail picking habit, exposing me for the weirdo that I am. Oh, and if my toenails are not available I will bite my fingernails instead.
2- I have a really bad habit of leaving cupboards open- it seems like I have shared that before. Not very interesting, but it is definitely a quirk of mine. Watch you head if you ever walk through my kitchen!
3- I know I have mentioned this before, but I make this horrid oinking noise to scratch my throat. I do this several times a day, especially in the summer and fall when I have allergies. I honestly feel sorry for my husband and am sometimes surprised that he is still married to me. I wonder if he knew about the noise before we got married? How did I keep it hidden from him? Poor guy... It even annoys my kids- Jace asks me why I sound like a pig.
4- I am a complete slob and a clean/anti-clutter freak at the same time. Sounds nonsensical, but it is true. I do not pick up after myself at all- I will leave my dishes at the table or my desk, leave clothes lying on my bedroom floor, pile things up in places rather than put them away. But it is only a short matter of time before the clutter starts to drive me crazy and I go on a cleaning spree. Oh, and if I ever knowingly have company, I have to clean my house. Even if someone is just coming by to drop something off, I will clean my house. I know I shouldn't care if my friends see my house kind of messy and the rational part of me really doesn't care, but I just cannot stop myself. The urge to clean and de-clutter takes over.
5- Apparently I like to make my life as difficult as possible. Wouldn't it be easier to just pick up after myself? Doesn't it take just as long to hang up a sweater as it does to throw it on the bed or in a pile? The answer is yes, but that doesn't seem to change me. I do this with all aspects of my life, not just the messes. I was hoping that doing Yoga would cure me of my bad habits, but so far it is not helping(I am, however, more flexible and can do a mean tree pose!)
6- I am mildly Arachnophobic. I refuse to go into our crawl space or even put my head under our back deck for fear of the spiders that could be hiding above me, just waiting to attack. I once had to pull something out of our crawlspace (it was only about two feet inside) and I literally almost had a panic attack. I am always worried for Tim when he has to go in the crawl space. Sometimes when it is dark and I am walking through the house I have horrid visions of poisonous spiders crawling after me- I have to run to get away from them even though I know they are not really there.
Now for the other part of the tag, I am only going to do a few because I don't know if I could think of 8 things in some of these categories. So here goes:
8 things I am passionate about...
1. My family
2. My faith
4. Photography and art
5. Business
6. Marriage (if I wasn't a SAHM and a photographer, I would be a Marriage and Family Therapist- I love studying relationships!)
7. Okay, I can't think of anymore...
8 words or phrases I use often...
1. Jace (in a very firm voice- I am sure I say this at least 100 times a day)
2. Cool
3. Awesome
4. Seriously (I type this one a lot too!)
5. You are driving me crazy!
6. Whatever (Hmmm, I am starting to feel a lot like Alicia Silverstone in the movie clueless...whatEVER)
7. Good job!
8. Stop it or knock it off, often followed by a "RIGHT NOW!"
8 places I would love to visit...
1. England
2. Italy
3. Greece
4. Paris
5. New York
6. P.E.I.(I stole that one from you, Mel! Someday we will go there together, my bosom friend!)
7. Some small tropical island that isn't too famous or touristy, with Tim of course;)
8. Bismark, North Dakota. Who doesn't want to go to Bismark?
8 things I currently need or want...
1. A new pair of designer jeans
2. Several sweaters- a closet full, if we are talking wants. But I only need one or two;)
3. The Coastal Scents Neutral 28 eyeshadow Palette
4. A D700 or D3
5. The Nikon 70-200 2.8 VR lens
6. New couches
7. Money for all the things I want to buy
8. To stop wanting all this stuff that is not going to really make me happy!!!
And if you are reading this, consider yourself tagged!
