Tip of the week: Subscribe to the Parks and...
Because it looks like they will actually mail it to you. I’m going to see if I can subscribe for Julie. Don’t tell her – I know she won’t read this - and that way, when it arrives it will be a happy surprise! http://www.pawneeindiana.com/parks-and-recreation/newsletter/ Parks and Rec is by far my favourite show of late, I like even more than Modern Family but it’s close. Since Michael Scott left...

This is funny.
Some people have funnier places of employment that others. Like my place of employment. Today, my boss stopped us all in our tracks to show us her new wallet by a rather hilarious little comic strip company called Angry Little Girls. Well, I think it’s funny. But this e-card takes my Tuesday Cake.

Did you notice?
Baby’s blog got a brand new outfit this weekend. Normally, I am not a fan of patterns. I am just not drawn to them – I like things that are clean, uninterrupted. However, sometimes you have to break out of the old, you have to challenge yourself and force yourself to a new place. Alas, the brand new look! Happy about it – I like the colours, I find them calming. They half remind me of a bathroom...

Tonesies–I’m a sucker
I love pop country – when it comes to a country song that I can sing along to, I sing it endlessly. I play it on repeat. My friends all want to punch me in the face. I bob my head to them during business meetings – but that’s part of my charm, I figure. This one takes me back to high school – I feel like I’m drunk on half a Rev, swaying in a corner. I am going to teach this to myself on ukulele,...

Tip of the week: Feel grateful
I’m feeling really grateful lately – finally. On Thanksgiving weekend, I was snot feeling grateful – not for the chance to spend the weekend with my wonderful family, not for the beautiful wedding I had just had or the fantastic honeymoon I had just come back from. Not for the dream house we just bought. Not for the great job I have and the great people I work with. Not for the success of my small...

Um, as if this doesn’t make your Friday that much better.

Shut up, we have a problem
Okay so it’s not secret that my number one fav store of all time is Baymart. As in, The Bay. I love it, and I can’t understand why more of you don’t! Actually – yes I can. The Bay can be messy. The Bay is a hunt. To me, The Bay is like a better Winners. I can’t stand Winners – all the hunting through racks and then when you finally find something you like, one sleeve is longer than the other or...

Drawn to creams
I love creams – “winter whites”. I also love buttons and I also love booties. Hence why I am drawn to this, albeit Prada, not a design house that I would normally give a second glance too. What caught my eye was that purse, with it’s hand strap!! Um, okay well I love that. If you need me tonight, I’ll be sitting in front of my TV, shortening the straps on all my fanny backs and dreaming of these...

Music Thursday–Junior Boys, In The Morning
Is that a thing for me meow? Maybe. Probably just music any day. I am not into music as a part of my identity like a lot of people are. I don’t live or die or breath by music. I just like to listen to music and def to sing along. I knew a girl once upon a time (who is actually a total sour puss, but whatever) who told me she thought that people who don’t sing along with music have something wrong...
Tip of the Week: Start watching Survivor
Because we can’t go back and do high school all over again, and even if we could, it’s not the mind fug everyone wishes it were, like Gossip Girl. It would still just be a bunch of kids running around with awkward clothes and attitudes. However, on Survivor, the popularity contests and the mind fugs and the backstabbing and the lying and the drama is real and dirty and it’s the end of the world as...

Music to my ears
I love Big Wreck. Hard alternative rock, with catchy powercords. Why does no one slag them like they slag Nickelback? Don’t get me wrong – Big Wreck > Nickelback. I’m just sayin, is all.

How can I love them? How can I not
I do. I love them. You hate them. Probably. Most people hate them. I think most people hate them like they hate Gwyneth Paltrow. And some people just love to love Gwyneth. And so maybe that is the only analogy I can use to describe my love for them. I love them like people like Gwyneth. For the GFY. For the fact they are totally opposite of Lindsay Lohan. For their sense of style and their sense...

You don’t say…
Modesty blogging. Hm. So I was reading this post from StyleLite about Mormon fashion bloggers, a microcosm of fashion blogging that never even occurred to me. Understandable, I assumed it was Mormon’s who were keeping the tapered jean industry alive but me thinks, perhaps I was wrong. These are images from ClothedMuch, a popular Mormon fashion blog– and may I just say, if this is how the...

What I Wore Part Deux
Last week, when The Cpt saw my first “What I Wore” post, he was, of course, less than enthusiastic. My first clue that he was passively trying to tell me he thought it was silly was when he told me his brother thought it was stupid. This isn’t my first rodeo, Captain Sketpical. I have been playing the Blame Thy Brother game since I was born. Nice try, nerdo. Of course, if I...

Tip of the Week: Get a dolly
For a long time, I’ve been attached to an illusion of what I feel is freedom and my personal definition is ability to do what you want when you want too. Freedom is freedom from others and from yourself – your own physical, mental and emotional limitations. And you know what has recently given me a whole new understanding of the word freedom? My dolly. And dollies in general. Stop for a moment and...

The Williams take San Francisco, or What I Wore,...
So the fat lady has sung. The wedding was a success, the honeymoon was amazing and nesting begins as of right meow. Part of me feels like I should be in a wool sweater making apple butter in a crockpot. For our HMooney, we went to Northern California. Shit son. After spending a tiddle and a taddle of time in Palm Springs, we were excited to see a new part of the sunshine state. We did three days...
Airport favourites...
My favourite part of air travel is deboarding. You get those bizarre people who race. They race to be first off the plane, they race to customs where they can stand in line while the rest of catch up. Then they race to the baggage claim and stand there waiting for the luggage to start while we all catch up and wait together. They stake their spot at the carrousel and elbow anyone who comes near...
