oh, FYI we pay $44 a month for our home warranty through AHS. We've had it ever since we bought our house, and each time that we've had a serviceman come out for something, it costs us about $60. I forgot to mention we even had our microwave fixed (would have been expensive to buy a new one because it's one that is mounted above the stove with the fan and lights on it).

I feel it's worth it, especially when something big needs to be replaced, like with our A/C.

That sounds great Cheri

Cheri, it looks good. I am looking into and am going to talk it over with Scotty.

I might suggest a home warranty through AHS.

Ours has definitely paid for itself. We have gotten our hot water heater repaired in the past, it cost us $60. We've had our a/c repaired in past years, and finally this summer we needed a new one. For a 2.5 ton A/C, we paid something like $100 -- such an insignificant amount (compared to brand new a/c costs) that I can't even remember exactly. LOL

We are thinking (hoping) that a new hot water heater is going to be in our near future, too. Ours takes forever to get hot water up to the front of the house (kitchen, laundry room)

I'm going to look into this myself. Thanks Cheri

Actually what I used is the same as Hot Topics...just another brand -- Splat! Rebellious Colors.

I could have done this, but thought that might be a bit extreme!

The biggest difference is that you have to bleach your hair first until it is all pale blond, then apply the color. Also, if you really want the extreme color, then you need to do two boxes.

I bleached my hair for 30 minutes b/c I wasn't sure how quickly it would take...if I did it longer, the color would be stronger.

These are the looks I was going for:

I only found them at Walgreens but it might be the same as Hot Topic -- here is the box:

Ah well it looks like the color should have come out brighter. Next time you know to bleach for longer. I don't think bleach would even take in my hair it's so dark.

I will also say it's much brighter in person...my cell phone camera didn't have the colors pop as much.

Ok, who's next?!?

haha no way! My Dad would kill me!! (since I work for him)

Me!!! Kacy is going to do it for me!!! I am going for the tips too. This is my retaliation for Scotty doing his mustache as a handle bar mustache. Yuck!!!



Actually it's a good excuse. I have wanted to do it for a long time.

Awesome! Can't wait to see the pictures! Eeeww on the mustache. Chris tried to grow one a couple of years ago. I hated it and made him shave it.

First we lost the dryer, then the washer and now I need a plumber! I swear if it is plumbing related I am not having any luck.

Oh no!!! When it rains it pours!

Perfect timing I was just coming on. Te plumber just left, and we have hot water. Best part it was $82 total!! But he did tell me to prepare for the hot water heater to need to be replaced in the next couple of months.

Glad it wasn't super expensive to fix. Hope nothing else breaks!!

I am waffling on the color. I like the thought of green but, who knows. I plan on bleaching it really light so I can have the bright, vivid color.


I think we got off real lucky. Roberto charges half of what all the plumbers do, he is licensed. He guarantees that his price is the cheapest, if you can find someone cheaper than him he will refund your money.


I like the regular mustache but the waxed mustache puts me in mind of Snidley Whiplash.

But, that isn't even as bad as the beard he grew last winter for this beard contest. I hated it.

Can't wait to see pics then

That's great about the plumber. That sounds like our HVAC guy. He's great. There was one time last summer that he didn't even bill us.

OMG he puts wax in it!? Yikes on the beard too! I hate facial hair (no offence...but you don't seem to love it either LOL)

Yes, he waxed it. My reaction was to laugh.


I went and bought the bleach and dye for my hair so hopefully we can get it going. I will tell you that I decided against green but I will not tell you the color. I will post the pictures.


To me the beard was very mountain man and no I was not a fan. I don't mind a nicely trimmed beard or mustache but when they get long enough that I feel like I can braid it I am ready to shave it off.

Earlier this year when Picaboo had their Groupon coupon I bought thinking I would find something to get for $100. In the back of my mind was the thought to do a calendar or photobook for Stephanie of Jason's baby pictures that she had sent me from her phone. She had lost all of her photo's when her phone reloaded itself. And I wanted a new calendar for next year. After all it was only $35. I set out to make them on Sunday with the coupon expiring on Wednesday.


This is the pictures I took of the one for Stephanie. Sorry if the pictures aren't clear. I was rushing.

This is the cover of it.

Sorry that the pictures are fuzzy but you get an idea of how it turned out.

Oh man...I hate beards too when they get all bushy

glad he shaved that

 

[Trentmom]

Chele, that came out amazing.

Are you give that to Steph for Christmas?

She will love it

Oh but the twirled mustache is so fun too. Now I have to figure out a costume for him to wear in a race in November. Not a clue.

I gave it to her earlier for a combined late birthday and early Christmas. I am terrible at waiting.

I don't deny it!! I am not sure if she liked it all that much or not. She didn't ask very excited. I know that I tried.

I am sorry she did not seem thrilled

I am sure she liked it

I would have loved it

I sent her a text earlier saying I hope she liked it but she blew me off.



I would have loved something like that too. They laminate the photos in their calendars. These are photos she sent me of Jason from when he was born.


Oh well.

Well, you tried

You did a nice thing even if she doesnt act like it



saw your post earlier on FB

Did you convince Loren to cut his hair and donate it?
