Drive In Epic Fail

Alrighty then, My friend Heather and I go to the drive in last night. Why? Because Harry Potter part 1 and 2 is playing so we thought AWESOME! We packed up the kids, went to Walmart and Sheetz, and then to the drive in. The first movie plays and half way through it the sound dies out a bit. We thought it was the car. Nope. It's the drive in. They fix the problem and then towards the fun screaming and tortures in the end of the first part- it happens again. Our thoughts then are, "Okay, this better not happen to the second part!!!"

At this very point in time, our kids are sleeping and we're getting ourselves ready during this intermission. Oh yes. Movie starts- you can't hear anything but a buzz! It continues to go in and out for the first 5-10 minutes. We make the decision to leave. Strapping the kiddo's in and getting everything picked up they then fix the sound. I'm sorry, I already missed important information. Good bye drive in. Now, I've read the books. I have seen all the movies but this last part. Guess what we're scheduling now? We're going to see it in 3-D due to the obviously better quality. Now just to plan the day and get sitters and go!

I love drive ins. I do. But last night they weren't up to par. And that's a no no for a Harry Potter dweeb, nerd, dork, and/or geek (Which ever you'd prefer to use is just fine). Over all my night wasn't bad. But I am wounded but they receive from me one critical hit and no experience points gained.

My sporadic thoughts and activities of the week!

Last week, I helped out with a diaper cake, helped my friend start her baskets/diaper cakes thought process and supplies, ran around like a chicken with my head cut off, Andie drove me nuts with "Mommy" every two minutes, refusing to sleep, screaming her head off for no reason, touching and pulling everything apart as she pleases, and today I get to go do new hire paperwork at my new job! YAY! I will be working! At a gas station part time but that's fine by me. I'm going to my modeling shoot tomorrow. Can't wait! So my crafting is on a small hold for the time being while I figure the rest of my scheduling out. I need to pick some specifics up anyway, you know, barrettes, head bands, and possibly some fabric. But not until I get my disorganized room back in order. It's been hell! I have no where to store anything. Andie's toys are over running my room and leaving me no space to do anything. Besides she won't let me do much as it is. I went out to some yard sales as usual. Sigh.

And Heather and I took our kiddos swimming. Patrick didn't do much of swimming while my little angel was terrified because Heather took an under the water swim and "disappeared" to the other side of the pool. She cried. Then she cried again as she got sprayed with some water on her back due to a foot swimming away. That made her scream some more. She is now terrified of pools I think. She clung to me the whole time. She really is too cute. 

So, yes... this has been the past week. Busy, busy, busy. This upcoming week I will find out by the end of today. But sadly there is still one activity I want to do and haven't been able to. Why? Because it would involve a male taking me out. I'm tired of sitting home on my ass on this computer. I'd just love to get to go out on a date! Even if we took Andie and went to a drive in since regular theaters won't allow kids in after the matinee showing. But that's fine I guess. Due to being busy I think it might just be better to wait. Then again... You never know. Time will tell.

Until next time! These are the life and times of my sporadic self!

Makeup Mayhem

What was suppose to be Makeup Mayhem failed due to road construction outside my house. That's fine. I got to make my good friend Heather into some fairy glamor with only one mistake that I can fix now that I seen the pictures- too late. But that's fine. It's called practice for a reason. Next time it won't happen. I also did my makeup gold and black glamor but my photos turned out very dark. Heather is trying to edit the picture to brighten it up to how it actually looked. Highly annoying. If all else fails then I will just have to do it again and take pictures in the sunlight.

Tired of being stalked from half way across the country.

Well, the plain as day fact is I have an internet stalker. She just can't seem to leave me alone. I don't stalk her. I don't get into her business. I simply just try to ignore her to the best of my abilities. But she has officially decided to start harassing me again on a website called DA which I put my many talents (or her opinion no talents in) pretending to be male and it's obviously her if you knew her. I will not use her name. There simply is no point to. The fact is she simply needs to learn to leave me alone and spend her time trying to screw up/fix her own little world.  I'm not out to get her. I have no idea why she is out to get me. She needs to start acting like the suppose of adult and "professional" she claims to be.

I'm growing tired of her. I've never been this close to calling the police about harassment because I'm so use to being able to take care of myself. But what she is officially doing is ruining my good name or at least trying to. I hope she knows that here in Pennsylvania internet bullying/harassment is taken very seriously. If it continues I might just have to make it to where her *cute little mac book* is legally confiscated and her name be put on a list for internet banning. I'm sure we all remember little Jessica Slaughter and what happened to her internet privileges for minor bull and her obsessions. Get off my back!

Happy 4th?

Well everyone, I know it's now the 5th but I'm writing about yesterday. Everything went as planned then almost turned for the worst. I got up and went to my model post production meeting. The photographer (Chris Adval) and I hit it off well! I have my first official TFP shoot in two weeks. I can't wait! Then I pick my Mom up and we go to Knobels! Well, my little angel went on one ride- the kiddy carousel. Then after walking around for a little bit she threw and lost her binki, someone stole her bottle, and when we realized this we left for walmart because Andie needed a drink. Which of course she would have had if people weren't creeps and left their hands off of other peoples belongings. Then we took ten minutes to walk around the Millville carnival- sucked. After that we took a break before going out to see the fireworks that Andie liked but quickly got bored of. Ta-Da. And now for a photo of my kiddo at lunch with Grammy and myself!

The McDonough Wedding!

Jesse's one of my best friends and Mike is an awesome guy! I've seriously never seen anyone happier to be and get married! Congrats to you both! I hope all goes well for the two of you. Here is two photos of them that I've been using to promote my makeup artist abilities!

DIY: Makeup Case

As stated in my introduction, I do just about anything artistic. Makeup Artistry is a hobby of mine and one of the things I am planning on going to college for if not to help me get my foot in the door of modeling or acting. So, I guess it's more than just a hobby. It's currently a freelance job and a passion. I love makeup. Over Christmas I acquired a lot of makeup. I needed a place to store it. I got the bright idea to start looking for a case and wanted to build a custom one! Right now it's not glamorous or flashy. Right now it's clean cut and professional. Maybe when I get a little bigger and more known I will decorate it a little more. But for now here is my how to:

Things you will need:

The case of choice
Electric Knife
Organizer (I chose the tackle box due to the inside can be customized any day!)
Cloth
Measuring Tape
Hot Glue Gun
Scissors
and a marker

Step 1: Measure Everything!

Using the measuring tape, measure all dimensions of the inside of your case. Then using the electric knife cut your foam to those measurements. Remember foam is a squishy material it doesn't need to be 100% perfect but the more perfect the better it is! SAVE ALL SCRAPS FOR FUTURE USE OR MISTAKES! Make sure you also take that foam and test it inside your case!

Step 2: Measuring your container/organizer!

Place your container(s) on top of your foam to decide where you want everything to be placed. Trace the bottoms onto the foam with marker. Take legitimate measurements and redo your traces so you know you will not make any mistakes when you cut.  

 STEP 4: Cut out the center!

Using your electric knife, cut the foam again and remove the unnecessary foam. Again just place on the side for possible later use on this or other projects.

STEP 5: Notches

If your case has notches or latches of any kind now is the time to use the electric knife or scissors to help make them accessible and give your case the ability to close and latch so your makeup doesn't go flying everywhere during travel.

STEP 6: Fitting In Check!

Make sure all your pieces fit! And check to make sure you can easily lock and unlock your organizer's lid!

STEP 7: Cloth


Spread out your cloth, plan how you want it to look when you wrap it over the foam. I didn't do great planning on that but I am hoping you care a little more than I did. Also plug in your hot glue gun! You will be using it soon. Using your scissors, cut out the material to your personal pattern for your foam!

STEP 8: Covering your notches!

If you had to cut notch areas cover them first with excess fabric. You want to make sure they stay smooth and it helped with the rest of the fabric coverings. At least for my design it did.
Then proceed to cover the rest of your foam as planned! Be careful not to burn yourself! And do not hot glue the foam into the case! This case is meant to be able to change at your will (and work!).

STEP 9: Put it together!

Assemble your makeup and what nots inside and make sure it all fits nicely! Enjoy your new personal case! Decorate it how ever you please and etc! Oh wait! I did do something else special check out my next step to see my personal touch instead of glam!

SPECIAL SECRET MY CASE HOLDS IS....
A MIRROR! Behind the removeable brush (technically wire holder) holder is a mirror. I took some excess foam and used the hot glue to secure it in place to ensure it was glued well and would not break easily! Here are the photos for that part of my case!

 TA-DA My Makeup Case! Completed!

Let me introduce myself!

For my first blog, I decided I would just tell you want you will find on here and what you should expect. You should find many repeated things through the websites I have listed on my page. But not everything will have all the same things.

The first notation I'd like to emphansize is this is a blog about me and my creations whether it be modeling, crafts, makeup, my life, and anything involving myself. You will hear and see my latest bitches and moans. The style of this page is also purposely done. As happy and go lucky all my other pages are or down right personal they may be, this is the one site I chose that I won't watch myself and tip toe around anyone. I plan on being myself completely. And when I say myself I mean you will read all my happy go lucky bull but you will also see me being sarcastic, mean, and maybe even brutal.
The second notation I would like to share is I am looking for comments and critiques. I may use some of your advice and I may not. It's a choice- don't get angry over it. I'm sure we all have better things to do. Also, I am my own worst enemy. I will always be my worse critique. You may try to trump that woe but I'm telling you now- you are on the losing side.

The third notation I have is don't take offense. EVERYTHING in life is BEAUTIFUL no matter how many times one may put anything down. If you don't believe you're beautiful then find a way to prove yourself wrong. If you don't believe the sky is beautiful figure out why and fix your damn problem! If you want change don't rely on others, get off your lazy ass and do it yourself because in the end that is the only person you can rely on- YOU!

The fourth and last notation I must include is I am blunt, honest, and even rude but if you show me respect I do return it with smiles, laughter and a not so cynical twist. This is the side of me many do not see because they always trip the wrong wire, dwell on my negative moments, and then stalk as well as try to ruin my good name. If you can't handle me just ignore me! If you can't dwell on my positives then you shouldn't waste your time dwelling on my negatives. If you don't like me then throw me away like a cap in the wind!

Now I tip my hat to you all and I will continue on editing my blog and other web pages and projects for the time being.
OH! And I will post some of my older things just to get this blog flowing with my creative and positive waves!
