Just Cool

I was playing on Etsy with some spare time I happened to get and found something. Remember Rizzo's dress in Grease? Here's a Barbie to remind you...

Okay, now take a peek at this pretty thing.

I think it could work if you wanted a similar dress. Or if you wanted to be a ladybug for Halloween. I'd rock it.

Random Things...

Seeing as how I'm in Las Vegas this week (darn), I came up with some easy-to-write fluff before I left. So here's some randomness for you... having to do with the gym.

• I know I mentioned wanting to look cute at the gym last Wednesday when I made my wish list. But don't go thinking I get all made up and make my hair look perfect too. The only time I wear makeup to the gym is if I already had it on and didn't have time to take any of it off. So I can't help but laugh at the women that come fully made up to work out. Honey, if you are exercising correctly, you should be sweating. Sorry, but the gym isn't the place to look ready for a beauty pageant.
• Along the same lines, the girls who check themselves out amuse me. Not the ones who glance to make sure their form is correct when they're lifting weights. I'm talking about full-blown checking themselves out and fixing their hair. And I've seen it. It just looks ridiculous.
• Maybe I'm weird, but I absolutely love when the treadmill tells me, "Great Workout!" after I'm done. It would tell me that whether I finished a thirty-minute mile or a ten-minute mile, but I like it.
• I get really annoyed when the cleaning staff cleans around me. Like, they are vacuuming within centimeters of my feet or wiping down the machine that I am using. Seriously. Could you wait? Or maybe just leave me alone? I don't know about the rest of you, but my allergies make the smell of most cleaners almost unbearable. So I don't want it sprayed that close to me while I'm breathing heavily. Too much to ask?
• I always laugh when someone races to take the parking spots right in front of the doors. I've seen people get cut off several times. Because God forbid you have to walk more than six feet to get into the gym... WHERE YOU ARE GOING TO WORK OUT. Um, walking is free people. Park a little farther and call it your warm-up.
• There's a woman I've seen at the gym a couple times and I think I have a gym crush on her. She has amazing arms. And she is HARD CORE when she works them out. I want to be her best friend.

That's all for now. There are other little things that irritate me. Like the guys that stare and such. But those are just random observations about the gym. I think my favorite is the treadmill complimenting me on my workout. Seriously, I wait until I see those words to move on with my workout.

Why I'm a Jerk

That's right. I admit that I'm a jerk. Especially when it comes to spelling and grammar and such. I'll totally acknowledge that I'm not perfect all the time, but don't ever make a sign with a mistake on it. And if you made a mistake, don't put that sign up in my presence. I'll totally pick it apart.

So today's fluff... I mean post, is a random smattering of photos I've taken involving something that made me stop. For one reason or another. Enjoy.

Yes, I paused the television so that I could get this picture. I'm still trying to decide if a sunny ho is more or less desirable than others.

Even in the mountains. *shakes head*

Mom was with me when I spotted this one. Why? Why would you want your license plate to say THAT?

I had my parents laughing when we saw this one. I know that someone just forgot to finish that final "F," but now it says "girts." And that's just not a word.

I think I've shown this before. It's a two-for-one. They can't spell "patchy" or "Santa Barbara."

Okay, I'm really a jerk for this one. I know these people. And I know that "being" is simply a typo, but I can't let it by.

These are those magnetic words. They were only a dollar, but really? That's pretty bad.

And the teenage boy in me giggled at this. There has to be a better way to abbreviate "homogenized."

There you are, evidence that I'm a jerk. But I'm going to keep doing it. Everywhere I go. So spell carefully America...

Woohooooo!!!

I'm off to Las Vegas friends! I've written posts to magically appear while I'm gone (the resort charges for internet, lame!).

I'll be back with pictures and hopefully some good stories (from Vegas and the wedding).

It's Finally Here!!!

Praise the Lord it's finally my sister's wedding day!!!

There was a lot to do with this wedding so I'm really relieved everything has been done and we can finally enjoy a day. And I'm REALLY thrilled that hubby and I leave for vacation tomorrow.

But I thought it might be fun to celebrate the day being here in some way. Preferably an odd way. So off to Etsy it was, to look at vintage bridesmaid dresses. Because I could really be unlucky and have to wear one of these babies...

There's just no way this can be flattering. No way. (via TimelessVixenVintage)

This made me laugh. It's like, Little Bo Peep's wedding dress! I understand this was the style, but I'm so thankful it's not anymore. (via differentHues)

I think this one could almost be cute. Almost. (via TimelessVixenVintage)

This one popped up on my page and I immediately thought of a space-themed wedding. Doesn't it look kind of futuristic? Click on the link to go see the bodice up close. You must! (via TimelessVixenVintage)

And this... well, there are no words. Except that I think a couple of my aunts have worn a version of this one. I want an "outdated dress" party now. Hmmm... my birthday is coming up. (via differentHues)

So happy Saturday, and happy wedding to my sissy. Feel free to send good vibes all day. Good vibes are always welcome on a wedding day.

Random Amusement

I've been sitting on this for awhile. I saved the page in my "favorites" and ten forgot about it. But I thought maybe everyone could use some random amusement today. So here you go.

So the story is that this woman wanted a picture of her with her husband so she set her camera timer. And this little attention whore of a squirrel popped up at just the right time.

If this had happened to me I'm pretty sure I would have peed my pants laughing. What are the odds??? Enjoy, and happy Friday.

My First Giveaway Win!

Okay, instead of making this one of those posts that takes up a full front page of my blog, I thought I'd condense the pictures into one slideshow. That's a whole lot less scrolling for you! And on the chance it doesn't work (which would totally fit with my life right now) I'm sorry. I'll attempt to fix it if y'all let me know.

So I was lucky enough to win...

• my magnet that went up on my fridge right away, I love it!
• my geisha girl postcard, which I mentioned will be framed like a little piece of art
• stickers made my Less apathy. More cake (I think the puppies are my fave)
• my girly skull charms
• unbelievably cute charms also made by LAMC (I'm thinking cell phone charms?)
• that sweet apple comb
• my miniature cakes (also by LAMC)
• that adorable juice glass that is sitting on my mantle because it's pretty much perfect for fall
• and my sweet mini desserts!

I think now I need a little shelf/cabinet/display for my baby desserts. Wouldn't they be cute on a little shelf in my dining room? Maybe displayed by cookbooks or something... hmmmmm.

Thanks again to Melanye for the awesome giveaway! And if you haven't already clicked on one of the links to her blog, I suggest you go do so now. Or visit her super cute Etsy shop!
