perfect strangers

Last night Rob & I were reminiscing about shows we watched as kids.

I remembered this show and started hysterically laughing.

Rob had no idea what I was talking about & all I could remember is that it was about two Greek guys & one was named "Balki".

I remember loving this show as a kid, it was ridiculously funny.

Did you ever watch it?

today's purchases

I bought these two shirts at Anthro today, it is actually the first purchase I've ever made for myself there!

Better yet they were both on sale and I had a 15% off coupon for my birthday.

You know how I LOVE coupons :)

I think I'll wear the one on the left with my blue skirt this weekend!

p.s I tried on the Prada shoes at Nordstrom today...... ohhhhh man

pretty, pretty on a Tuesday

ooooo ooooo oooo How pretty is this??

I desperately need to find a shirt to wear with my blue skirt b/c i have a bridal shower this weekend.

I came across this shirt on the anthro website, it doesn't go with the skirt but it is quite lovely.

I think i need to do a bit of shopping tomorrow, only b/c i don't want to go topless to the bridal shower! ;)

DH

Desperate Housewives has quickly become my favorite show.

I only started watching it 3 years ago so i had no idea how it all began.

I got the 1st season on ebay for $9!

Rob and I may or may not have spent 6 hours watching it yesterday. :)

I kinda wanna move to Wisteria Lane.

It's addicting.

What's your fave show?

Despicable Me

Have you seen Despicable Me???

Rob and I saw it in 3D this weekend & we LOVED IT!

My absolute favorite part:

"I shrink the moon, I steal the moon, I sit on the toilet.... WHAT???"

hehehehehehehehehe :)

the lazies

Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.

-Jules Renard

I have recently come down with the absolute worst case of the lazies.

I work in the evenings and most days i don't have very much to do.

and that's exactly what i do...... not very much.

Many times when I'm bored I'll go shopping, but i can't exactly do that everyday.

i think sitting around doing nothing makes me even lazier, if that is at all possible.

I've been blaming it on the heat.

The heat makes you sleepy, right?

Perhaps i need a hobby?

Other than reading, which i love, but lets face it, it's a lazy hobby.

I'm pretty sure you will all be envious...

i have my very own personal eyebrow shaper.
His name is Rober. :)

Last night Rob and i were lying in bed, as he lovingly gazed into my eyes (ha) he decided it was time to pluck my eyebrows. It was the very first time he's ever done this for me and it was actually quite relaxing, except for one tiny little pinch.

I must say, he did an excellent job.

photo

He also informed me that i had one little "whisker" he could take care of for me.

Now if that's not love i don't know what is.

be flexible

Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.

cookieeeeee monster

Black & White Cookies

Are all kinds of wonderful

just out of reach

I love this blouse & i think it would look super cute with the blue skirt i bought at f21 last month.

But for $128.... i have to pass.

If you've got buckets of extra $$, you can get yourself one here

(come to think of it, if you've got buckets of extra cash, maybe you could get me one too!)

* spotted on cup of jo

no fun

Do you know what is really no fun at all?

Being really bored :(

Deciding to bake oatmeal cookies :)

Taking out all the ingredients and spreading them on the counter :)

Planning to bring the cookies to work for happy bellies all around :)

Realizing my oven has not yet been fixed :( :( :(

i feel sad like this droopy flower

New Shoes

New shoes are always fun, but i think these are really fun.

My friend Melissa is getting married in less than 3 months and i just realized i didn't have shoes & we are being fitted for our bridesmaid dresses soon!

I just ordered these on zappos & i can't wait for them to arrive, i hear they have really fast shipping :)

Aren't they super duper pretty??!?!!

something blue

I guess i've really been liking blues lately.

I want to serve a srumptious homemade cake on this cake stand

I'm dreaming of wearing this dress to a day wedding.

I think this pillow would look perfect on a bed with solid, pale yellow sheets!

All from ETSY :)

the cigar song

Every single time i listen to this song it makes me crack up.

they say it's your birthday

Today is my birthday! I have officially passed over the hump and am now closer to 30 than 20, I'm not sure how that happened so fast?

Holmes on Holmes

Would your significant other mind if you told him you would love to hop into Mike Holmes' overalls?

Thankfully mine doesn't mind one bit.

His closet must just be one loooong line of overalls.

i wish i had a home renovation disaster he could come fix!
