The “Skinny” on your man

Skinny Jeans Man

What do you all think of this?

I think it’s a bit much.  I can see a “slim” jean. (below)

But “skinny” or “girlfriend” jeans on your man?  No.  I mean, some women might like this, but I think if you can see the guy’s “twig’n'berries” it just ain’t cool.

Agree/Disagree?

Anger

April 4, 2009

Do you ever get SO angry?  You just don’t know what to do with yourself.  Somethings are so out of your control, or at least they are now, and you just can’t do anything but be angry?

I’m so angry, I just want to destroy something, only I don’t know what…so the anger sits inside, and it just festers into further ugly bitterness…

Flat, Sparkling or Blinged?

Would you pay $55 for a bottle of the good-stuff?

This.is.not.a.joke.

Driving

April 3, 2009

When I first started driving I LOVED driving.  I still loved driving for most of my life gaining a small interest in cars even.  But I just HATE driving now.  You know why? Traffic.  It’s so ridiculous I just want to move somewhere where there are NO people so there are NO other people on the road.

Traffic and the idoits on the road have really ruined driving big time for me.

Now instead of my car symbolizing freedom for me, it only feels like like a sentence to spend time trapped in a small space.

The other day I was watching the news and there was a headline “kids trapped in school bus for 3 hours” all I could think was “why, were they on the highway trying to get home?”

Seriously.  I gotta move to the Country.

Summertime and the livin’ is easy…

April 3, 2009

Or IS it?

As a North American that lives in a 4 season zone….I always look forward to Summertime.  At least I always have.  I trudge through Winter just “making it through” every year until Patio Season, what living is really about.

But you know, as much as I STILL hate Winter, I can’t say I’m entirely looking forward to Summer anymore.

I think looking forward to Summer is lost on me now.  The only plusses are that there’s no snow to shovel and I don’t have to bundle up when I go outside.  Because, it’s HOT, it’s HUMID, it’s generally unbearable for most of the Summer.  I don’t go out in the sun very long, since I’m fair and deathly afraid of skin cancer.  I don’t go away much to the cottage or the beach on the weekends, since that’s what everyone does, which means enduring 4 hours in traffic on the way up and 4 hours on the way down at least every weekend.  Which, frankly, does not appeal to me or make it worth it.

So what good is summer anymore?  Combined with the pressure to look good in a bathing suit and the skimpier clothes that you wear, doens’t make it any better!  Then there’s the money spent on air conditioning.

I think looking forward to Summertime was more a thing left in me from childhood.  Where you’d look forward to summer because you could play outside, not have to go to school and there was more sunshine.  But I am always working, so no vacation there, and I don’t play outside, and I try to avoid the sun in general.

I guess I’m just an “indoor” girl.

Can anyone tell me any plusses about Summer?

Sick & Tired

April 3, 2009

Argh. I woke up with a scratchy throat today.  You know what that means!  I’m getting SICK.  Or should I say already sick!  It’s a rainy day, and I’m sick with cold, and bitter now.

I have to drive an hour to go to my mom’s birthday lunch I’m throwing tomorrow too.  Tomorrow’s going to be JUST peachy!  All I want to do is sleep!

That Dog!

April 2, 2009

I love my dog to bits…

but does anyone elses’ dog keep them up at night?

Constantly licking his lips and walking around pacing the room and randomly whining to get in bed with you?

Harem Pants, a.k.a. ‘MC Hammer Pants’

April 2, 2009
Harem Pants a.k.a. MC Hammer Pants

Harem Pants a.k.a. MC Hammer Pants

Okay, so I was reading Vogue or some fashionista magazine of mine this winter and they were featuring harem pants as a “back in” style for this spring, and the forseeable future.

I giggled and choked a little on my wine whilst reading this amusing article.  Because, Vogue is Vogue.  In all is fashion forward artistic wonder.  I am ME.  I am NOT Vogue.  BB (does not equal sign) Vogue.  Sometimes things that are in “en vogue” never make it “en my closet.”  Or of the closet of any other fashion accepting citizen.  Some trends catch, some don’t.  Some REALLY don’t.  Anyway, you get the point.

WELL…..folks.  I was in my suburban mall today looking for some new jeans.  Skinny jeans infact, of which I ALSO said I’d never wear when they first hit.  I’m a pear, I didn’t need to look like an upside down icecream cone.  But alas, they’re my go-to jean now since I can tuck them into my boots, so you MIGHT see a post on her about the acceptance of these Harem Pants.  I jest.  Moving on, low and behold – in my suburban mall – I see Harem Pants! On the rack with all the OTHER pants, just like they BELONG there or something!!! Ach!!

You realize once the virus goes mainstream, we’ll all be infected, right?  Be afraid, be very afraid.

What do YOU think about Harem Pants???

What do you think of these???

It’s Hammertime! (i had to)

Tired

April 2, 2009

Do you ever feel REALLY tired? I mean REALLY tired.

This is how it started:  One weekend you felt really tired, and so you went to bed at say 10pm, and you caught up on your sleep.  Then the week came by, you were tired during the week too, but you were working, so it made sense.  Then comes the next weekend, you’re still tired.  Same cycle.

All the sudden, it’s three years (plus) later and you’re like “I can’t remember the last time I had a good night’s rest?”

Then we wonder how it is we seemingly wake up one day and “boom” we’re old….

I’m SO tired, it’s really showing in my face.

How do you stop yourself from getting so tired all the time?

I’m a Winner

April 1, 2009

Winners.  Winners sells AWESOME stuff, for really GOOD prices.  And there’s not a big chance you’ll see other people wearing what you’ve got from there.

I’ve been completely obsessed with shopping there lately.

For my American friends, it’s TJMaxx for you.  Same thing exactly, even same company.

It’s completely freakin awesome!

And I just entered to win the Jessica Biffi (From Project Runway Canada) spring dress.  Green’s not really my colour, but it could be FREE!

And Free is my favorite word.

Bad economic times mean that I simply can’t pay full retail price for items, and Winners is really working for my budget right now, without making me look cheap.
