Where My Heads At...



*Really excited about this! It'll be my first, but I've wanted to go to one for so long. It'll be awesome for sure!


*Finally bought the much talked about "Ruby Woo" lipstick by MAC. I've passed it up for many years, choosing Russian Red instead. And I must say... a little let down. I like Russian Red WAY more, even though it is rather dry. Actually it seems like most MAC reds are. I have MAC red too (less dry) and Dame (which I think was discontinued, much skinnier case and actually quite nice, but not as bright, more of a brick color).

*Getting greener. I already use reusable shopping bags, unless I forget mine at home :0 But now I'm buying little individual glass dishes to make my own microwaveable stored freezer dinners in bulk. Well like 5. So far, so good. But get back to me in a month when I might be sick of cooking so much!

*Trying to get more into photography. Just for myself. No business angle. I really want PhotoShop Elements!


*Roller skating! Rick bought me a pair of Riddells. And I'm in love! But still breaking them in- which sucks! I feel like an old lady always complaining about my arches hurting. I've only fallen once, but man did my ass hurt! It hurt a lot more than falling on skates at 10. Maybe cuz I got more junk in my trunk! Hahaha...but not too much junk, I am losing that baby weight. Not at my pre-Cashie weight, but I see my goal in sight. And Cash is 10 months old now. So basically it took 9 months to gain, and probably about a year or so to lose. Baby steps I suppose.


*Coveting these Vivienne Westwoods. I'm really getting into flats these days. I was against them for years, but now I'm loving just a select few. And actually surprised to found my faves at Target for $8.40? Score! Unfortunately I can't find anymore in my size to stock pile!

Farewell Beautiful New Shoes :(

I made an impulse purchase last night and ordered these...

I fear Rick will freak out when the UPS guy comes because I REALLY shouldn't have ordered them. I've had my eye on them for SO LONG! And covet them so. And they're sold out in almost every size except mine. Which almost never happens! But really- I don't need another pair of shoes. Even if I don't own booties. It's going to suck to have to cancel the order, but I don't want to start an argument with Rick. He says I need another pair of shoes the way I need another dress. Which is pretty true. I have a lot. It's time for me to cutback on my splurges :(

How a Ruca does a Baptism

We baptized Cash last month. I wore the same dress I wore when Seamus was baptized, but just dressed it up a little. I wore a white petticoat underneath and some Steve Madden two-toned saddle shoe-type heels. I forgot I even owned them until I started sifting through shoe boxes in my closet. I love my closet! It's like Mary Poppins infinity purse!

I did my hair a little different too. My mom asked me if I was trying to look like Snookie. Um, no. Who would ever want to look like her???


This was the only time when Cash wasn't screaming like he was having an exorcism. All the other parents were hating us.


My little boy looks so grown up here :`(


The back view of my hair...


The happy fam. Rick looked pretty snazzy too!

Me & Dita


A pic of me & the one and only Dita circa Dec. 2009. She's even more gorgeous in person- and genuine and nice! Me and my mom shared an elevator with her, her assistant and her Daschund to one of her book signings. She fawned over my little boy Cashie and said she loved his booties. (They were just from Target)

cute sweaters on the cheap

Yesterday I ventured out to Forever21 and found some cute stuff- on the clearance rack nontheless! I don't think I've ever scored so big there! If you live in so. cal go to the one at The Grove. They have a bunch of psychobilly stuff I don't even see online. Not all was for me, but maybe you'd like it :)

Bolero with bows: $10.99



red and black dots sweater: $19.99


I bought two other shirts but Mac Photobooth didn't do them justice. I'll repost with them later in the day...

Luckily they're all out of stock in my size, since I don' have the money anyway :)
