New Hair, New Dress and Rhody Run

I got my hair cut this weekend! It was just getting too long and icky looking so I chopped off a few inches! I wanted it a little shorter, but I still like it...and the dress is really cute, it just doesn't look it in this picture! I got it in my $2 bag (thrift store) along with about 15 other things (including a new with tags nike running shirt!) One of these days i'll remember to figure out the cost per item! But if I only got 10 things in my bag, that would make the price of this dress .20cents! Wow, I love bag day even more now!

sorry about the weird picture..it was angled weird and I wanted to rotate it

and in case you are wondering, which I know you probably arent! ha, my dress is now a size 8 instead of a 16!

First off i'm not sure exactly what I was thinking signing up for a 5K when I haven't run in almost 6 months! But I am glad that I did...I can hardly walk today, but it felt really good to beat my time from my last 5K! It makes me want to actually train a little bit before my next one..maybe :) I finished 139 out of 285 in 33 min

Ann, Erin, and Me before the run

Me coming up the hill to the finish!

Lovely day for a run, eh?

Me, very tired after a LONG day!

Lily makes the best faces

Ella is my little diva!

Love my new coat/sweater!

Silly Ella

My cute girls!

And last..my two new $2 shirts..I could have got them on bag day which would have made them much cheaper, but I really liked them and didn't want to chance them being gone by Thursday, so 2 bucks isn't too bad for a cute shirt! I also got a pretty awesome belt for a dollar.
I need different shoes for this outfit...the skirt is from st. vinnys I think..under $4!

Mothers Day 2010

I think we took like 20 pictures and there wasnt a single one where everyone was looking at the camera at the same time, or had a silly face. Thank goodness for photoshop! This picture was the best of Ella and Lily, so I photoshopped my Mom, Grandma and my head in!

We found these nasty spiders that had just hatched!

No worries, we sprayed them and now they are gone!!

I saw a tutorial on making this cool Armillary (its the ball thing on the stand) I don't know what its for but i thought it looked kind of cool and I had everything to make it so I gave it a try..its not done yet though, i still need to find a finial to screw into the top to keep all the rings lined up, thats why it looks kind of wanky...

And if you can't tell the vase is the eiffel tower...I found it at the elks thrift store (I was pretty surprised there was a thrift store here I didn't know about until last week!) It was just clear glass and I thought it would look better white or black, so for now it is black! And I'm not sure what i'm going to do with it, so for now its a vase! I also found two vintage blue Ball canning jars there which will also probably be used as vases.

We had a little spring party with my friend Kathleen and her two kiddos..they had fun doing some crafts, decorating cupcakes and of course, an egg hunt!

And my $3 Goodwill dress! We took a trip to Eugene for my parents to buy a sleep number bed..(holy hannah those are expensive! you know when the pillow is over $100 the beds are going to be pricey! anyway..) After we did that I had the choice of Ross or Goodwill and opted for Goodwill..that store was HUGE! I really didn't know where to start! But I managed to find a few good things!

I was looking at the Crate and Barrel website and saw this mirror..our bathroom stuff is a lighthouse/beach theme and I thought this would look cool..but not for $199...

Here is my version, so far I have spent .49cents on the brass charger plate..but I still need to buy a mirror..the one in the pic is photoshopped in...

(Looking at the picture I have a few more spots that need filled in too!)
