dear jcrew,

i bought the destroyed jeans last season now you are offering repaired ones..this outfit is 100% me, love the blouse..
motivation...but i will say thank you for showing a girl with some curves..i know she is uber-skinny buti like to see a butt and boobs..
this is so elegant, she could walk into a party wearing that!
going to a wedding in charleston in april and i am thinking i should get this..thoughts?
head to toe..a cotton ruffle dress, love the layering and the cleo sandals!

dear jcrew,
sometimes i am looking for you to slip up..but you've done it again-- across all categories..
time to get the body in shape for all these looks!
love,
me

ommmm.....euwe....

image from here

in my yoga and as i was doing my downward dog, stretching out my hamstrings, glad i made it out in the pouring rain to this warm cozy incensed filled room, things were doing good, then all of a sudden.....another student behind me started HACKING up her lung..literally...every time she went upside down the coughing started and the teacher even said "wow" and she replied "i promise i am over the worst part"...thats when i almost chimed in with .."are you kidding me??!?! please leave --yes you..leave! there isn't enough purell in the world to keep those germs from getting to me" ...i even gave the instructor a disgusted face!
well none of that exchange happened, unfortunately ...but if you are one of THOSE (you know who you are)..that still goes to work, yoga, coffee shop when you still obviously are ill, please know that it is just gross..go crawl back under the sheets, we don't want to see you until you are healthy...ommmmmm now i feel better getting that off my chest!

sunday sentiments pt.2


image of lil drama here

so.. after killing a million ants, vacuuming, doing dishes, loads of laundry, 4 bags of clothes for goodwill, 1 bag of clothes for 'dress for success', gave jumby a pedicure(clipping her nails), changing the sheets even the headboard cvr, and finally cleaning out my hall closet..i was still having a HUGE case of the winter blues..and i was thinking i am such a sensitive girl..until a close friend sent me this article...kind of made me feel better to know that this was the reason....(however i know i will always be a sensitive girl)..

sunday sentiments

pretty image found here

coming out of a fog of sniffles and countless hours of sleep...my house has fallen by the wayside- jumby's hair balls everywhere, dirty dishes piled up, desk a mess, files unfiled, ant issue with all this rain, dirty paw prints on the couch, hall closet has coats thrown in it, expired food in the fridge, laundry clean but unfolded in the basket..the list could go on and on, but i am afraid i have already disgusted many of you..once this caffeine kicks in I am going to spend my sunday DEEP cleaning. New week, hopefully not sick, a clean house will help me be clear for the adventures of the new week....have a happy sunday

i wish being sick in bed looked like this..

ohh bollocks!

well its friday..long week and long weekend in store for me..still sick with that darn cold everyone has..
this made me ccry with laughter i saw this report on this guy last night from England who talks in his sleep, and his wife records him and started a blog with his jibberish..it had me in stitches! literally some of the funniest stuff, they are adding audio soon to the blog, but in the meantime they have made up some of his quotes on shirts..its so good..his voice while he is sleeping is very ricky gervais..please share a laugh with me..this is what his wife wrote from the other night after listening to him

Jan 17 2010

"Cake. Mmmmm. I want one more piece. Just One. More. F*$&##. Piece."

"Look at me. Yes, you heard me, look at me. Don't stop."

"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"

"Jump. You can jump with goats. Boy does he jump high. They jump really high."
