Certain Death Averted

For Christmas this year that Hillyerie girl got me a teeny tiny flat iron.  It's name is the Baby Bliss Pro.  I needed a teeny tiny flat iron because I have pretty short hair and the flat iron I have is bigger than my hair is long so I keep burning my fingers.  That Hillyerie has a nick for gift giving because she pays very close attention all the time to people's ramblings and then gets them the very thing they said in passing they'd like to have.  I'm pretty sure that's what happened with me and the flat iron.  I took a photo of it to show you just how baby it is in comparison to my regular one:

Something you may or may not know about me is that I'm a "read the instructions" kind of girl.  If I don't read them thoroughly, I at least peruse them to make sure I don't miss anything important.  So, last night I was washing my face, brushing my teeth, and such in preperation for bed.  My Baby Bliss Pro instrucion manual was on the counter and I thought that maybe I'd give it a look see to make sure I knew everything I needed to know about it.  I started with the "IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS" because they are important after all.  Boy am I glad I did because apparently I've been taking my life in my own hands by not following these instructions.  I've taken the liberty of highlighting a few of the ones that I was the most worried about:

#2.  Do not use while bathing or in shower--Now how am I supposed to multi-task to get to school on time if I can't use it while I'm showering, I ask you?
#3.  This appliance should not be used by, on, or near children or individuals with certain disabilities--I think I need a clarification on that one.  What exact disabilities are they worried about?  Siezures, baldness, maybe persons that have had their brain shocked?  If I don't know how do I know if I can really use it?
#7.  Never use while sleeping--This one is my favorite.  I don't think I need to make a snarky comment as it is plenty dumb all by itself.
#9.  Do not use outdoors or operate where aerosol (spray) products are being used or where oxygen is being administered--This one causes many problems.  First of all, I just had electrical outlets installed in my tent for camping trips where I may need to flat iron.  Since I can't use it outside, that was a total waste.  Secondly, I'm worried about all of the hairstylist in the world that have to take their clients outside to flat iron their hair because they cannot have it anywhere that has aerosol spray.  Only guess what...they can't use it outside either, so they are just plain screwed.  And finally, if it cannot be used where oxygen is being used, then all of the poor, catatonic people in the hospitals cannot have cute, flat ironed hair. 
#11.  This appliance is hot when in use.  Do not let eyes or bare skin touch heated surfaces--Only too bad for me because now I can't use it to curl my eyelashes!  What the heck am I supposed to do now since my other heated eyelash curler is about to bite the dust?

As you can see, I just averted certain death by reading these "Important Saftey Instructions."  I hope this public service announcement goes on to save many lives.

Parson Brown

I was listening to the radio as I was getting ready for school this morning and they played this jazzy version of "Winter Wonderland." Only maybe I shouldn't admit this because I don't come off looking so smart. Who am I kidding?  I'm no intellectual giant anyway. Anyway, they sang the part that says:
In the meadow we can build a snow man. 
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown.
He'll say, "Are you married?"
We'll say, "No man, but you can do the job while your in town."
For all of my 34 years I could never figure out what color parson brown was and what that has to do with getting married.  Only just this morning did I realized that Parson Brown was not a color but maybe a preacher.  In which case him being all nosey about marriage makes all kinds of sense!

Survey

So, Mary Kay has come out with these new eye kits.  It's basically eye shadow for dummies.  Depending on your eye color there is a kit with eye colors that are supposed to make your eyes pop.  The kit also shows you how to best apply it.  I'm not exactly an eye shadow dummy.  I know what colors look good and how to apply them.  However, I've never really been able to decide what my eye color really is.  Sometimes I think maybe they are more blue, but then there are days that they look greenish.  Not to mention the days that I'm pretty sure they look hazel.  So, I decided to do an experiment.  I did the look for each of these colors of eyes and took pictures so that I could see which one looked the very best.  I still don't know.  They all look similarly great which makes me think that maybe I do have cameleon eyes.  Since I'm apparently useless at this I decided I'd put it to a vote.  Look at all three and tell me the one you like the very best.  I know that there are a few of you that look at my blog but don't comment.  Today you must comment because taking a vote doesn't do much good if no one votes.

Christmas Photo of the Day

The jury is still out on whether he has been too naughty for Santa to actually come to visit him.  I think he's buttering the fat man up.  Maybe I should start doing a little bit of that myself.

Mouse Babies

I woke up the other morning and when I opened my bedroom door I found this outside of it:

Hank lined up all of his mouse babies like a choo choo for me.  It made me giggle even though it was like 6:00 a.m.  Living with Hank is a little bit like living with a 2 year old.  Only more convenient because I can leave him for a couple of days with a bowl of food and water and a litter box.

-5 Degrees! ...I'm Just Sayin'.

Chick's

On Friday I took a personal day from school.  What wonderful event was happening that I'd take a whole day off of school, you ask?  Chick's, that's what.  My Auntie Kaye sent me an official invitation in the mail asking me if I wanted to go to Chick's and to Midway for a Chistamas boutique.  Really, she had me at Chick's.  The boutique was just a bonus.

See how cute my anutie and I are?  Plus, also, if you ever need to go to Chick's for breakfast (and I highly recommend that you do) this is what it looks like:

 

Plus it's address is something on Main Street in Heber.  You should probably know what kind of an establishment it is too.  I think that there are about 8 booths in the whole place and that's all.  This is their typical clientele:

That is real life manure on his boots with real life spurs.  That's because they are all real life cowboys.  And what kind of food do real life cowboys like to eat?

Incase you didn't notice it is DELICIOUS!!!  That pancake is buckwheat, those hashbrowns are crunchy, and the bacon is pretty much a whole pigs worth.  They have lots of other stuff that I'm sure is equally as wonderful, only I've never tasted it because I love this so much I don't dare mess with it.

Plus, also, on the way to Heber it was about -100 degrees.  It was so cold that the reservoir was warmer than the air so steam came up off of the water.  It was so beautiful that I took several photos:

Plus, also, we went to the boutique, but it was only just a boutique and not Chick's.  If any of you feel like you should maybe go to Chick's you are correct, only you cannot go without me.
