Put the NIPPLES Away!
Okay so I've been a hairstylist for 9 years, which of course means I am also known as a counsellor, friend, confidant, and general advice giver! So over the course of the 9 years I have heard it all. You is cheating, who wants to cheat, who was cheating, I've wiped tears over loved ones, chatted to teens about loser boyfriends/girlfriends. Helped brides prepare for weddings, complained about Mother in Laws, bitchy coworkers, union issues, you name it I've discussed it. I've even had a client who wanted blonde highlights change her mind becaue her spouse said no more bedroom activities unless you are a brunette! (A**hole!) But today September 18th, 2006 takes the cake! A recent bride was in for a haircut and mentioned she had budoir photos done for hubby. Very cute idea, I've done it myself. However, not only did I hear how she was posed and the full details of the shots but at the end of the painful appt, she grabs her cellphone and ladies/gentlemen there were her nipples in full color! I recoiled in shock but to her it must have been a sign I needed to see more because she scrolled through them and kept showing them to me! Okay enough, my eyes, my poor eyes. Just so we are clear that is NOT my area of expertise. Who in there bloody right mind shows people that. I mean honestly you don't walk into Starbucks and say hey, check out my boobs and ass and whatever else you could see. So why do people think their stylist needs/wants to see that?? I do not get paid what Jessica Simpson pays Ken Paves to follow her around. If I did I still wouldn't want to see her copy of Girls gone wild. THOSE ARE PRIVATE! I mean honestly she didn't tip me enough to have those shots in my memory bank. I wish I could actually delete specific memories with that zapper that they used in the Men in Black movies. Anway that is enough about Boobs, I will post more later about other crazy appts!What's For Dinner? at 12:44 AM

MIL'S where do they get off!
Okay so between Kristin and I we have the separated at birth MIL's from hell. And yes, I said that out loud! They are rude, disrespectful and discipline our children when we are standing right there and are speaking to them. I have never been rude to her but on more occasions than I can count she has been unbelievably rude to me.SO we are trying to get a jump on the holidays and plan Christmas, as it is always a hassle. We want it at our house this year so that the kids have more space and my widget 2 who is only 18 months can sleep in her own bed at naptime. DO NOT TOUCH, that is all they hear at her house. PUT THAT DOWN. We all are cramped into a small livingroom and nobody enjoys eachother's company. When it's at her house she is in charge, her food, her plan, her everything. She is a complete control freak. I break the rules every year by bringing a sweet potato pie for dinner, I can't help it I like it. But she doesn't want me to cook, she just wants to have everyone say she is fantastic at everything. But my husband and my FIL always ask me to go fix the gravy or do the vegetables. She makes liquidy whitish looking wholewheat gravy. It's awful!!!! And the vegetables fall apart when you try to fork them. Maybe I'm just picky but I want broccoli to still be green. Not just the water in the pot. I mean is that too much to ask. And then there is My family who are have enough food to feed a small country okay maybe a large country and it's incredible. We have a full dessert buffet, not just one pie or trifle. It's amazing.
So Timmy and I have decided that either she starts to respect us and our rules (we have alcohol at our house-she is vehemently opposed among other things!) or she gets asked to leave. Thank goodness I have a husband who supports me. We don't fight about her, we just try to avoid her but she WON'T leave. Two times last week she phoned and said "I just have to pop by for a minute" and she stayed over 2 hours each time. What is that about. I have tried everything to have her leave but to no avail. I am taking suggestions if you have any??? If I didn't love being around my family and where I live I would totally move, maybe to Hawaii, no I burn. Maybe to Europe, sure there are plenty of places to hide and she can't drive there and she won't spend the money to fly. Okay that's it, all those hiding from horrifyingly awful MIL's we are off to Europe. ALL ABOARD!

Thankyou Lord
My husband "Timmy" has just delivered good news. A job he has applied for and has the experience but not all the formal education for has just told him he is at the top of the list. It is with the company he is currently with, but in a Sales Manager type position. He was badly injured in a workplace accident almost 3 years ago and if nothing else this would be a lift to his ego. Ultimately he and I do not want him working there but more money the same fantastic benefits and him being happier, well at the moment that works for me. They are re-organizing the department so it is going to take 4-6 weeks to find out if he has the position or not. But God willing and the creek don't rise it will be his. Thank you Lord for all your help and grace in our lives. AMEN!!What's For Dinner? at 11:40 AM

FINALLY!
So my best friend Kristin who is a nut bar, has driven to complete distraction to start a blog! I had to put down my peanut butter toast to write this as she has spent the better part of her evening setting up this site so that I would use it! She truly is one of a kind! She is really more like a sister but when I say that to some people they get a weird look on their face like what!?! I think some people just don't appreciate family. But then again sometimes I deny I am related to my in-laws. Oops I just said that outloud. God forgive me, but actually HE totally understands, I complain to him constantly. Kristin really is my FEMALE other half. I only want to sleep with my wonderful husband but I could totally spend the rest of my life on an island laughing my a** off with her with a completely stocked fridge/freezer and pantry. I go nowhere without the promise of good food and company. In that order, sorry folks! So I guess I should explain the food title of my blog. Well, the truth is I'm a food addict, well I don't overeat, but I dream of Oprah's power so that I could have her kitchen and personal chef so that all my meals could be a smorgasborg of what I am craving in that instant. Like right now I am wishing for an In and Out Burger, a mudpie, some sushi, an orange, peanut butter with celery. Basically my sister thinks my gravestone should read it was ALL ABOUT THE FOOD. So there you have my first entry. Talk to you soon.What's For Dinner? at 9:36 PM
