I'm Drooling Over this Outfit!

I want this outfit ...

Street Fashion in Japan

Always loved looking at Japanese street fashion, so naturally this is one of my fave sites to visit.

Need a Tan

I received these shorts and tried them on last night and boy I need a tan. Know of any good self tanners that I can purchase? I also ordered those sandals ... full on adorable. I'm under the disillusion that if I order the same items in a photo that I'll look like the model in the photo. Shhh! Don't tell me that that strategy doesn't work! To quote my oldest son ... "Not listening!!".

House Cleaner Whine Post

We've had the same house cleaners for a few years now. You'd think that after three years they would know what to do with their eyes closed. But that is not the case. Found out that our main cleaner has other people working for her so she's not here all the time. So things don't get cleaned the way they are supposed to. That's one problem. Here's another. They break things. They've broken our child-proof gates, special photo frames, cabinet doors, etc ... I kid you not. We pay $100 a week for a once-a-week cleaning. But I figure with all of these f*&k up's it's actually costing me more.

These people serious lack common sense. Common sense is not expensive but their lack of it is costing me. For example I use a bath sponge ... came home to find that the sponge was on the floor of our shower. What?? WHY?! Why would one leave a bath sponge there? So it could collect all of the dirty soap water? Mmmm ... NOT!! My husband failed to notice that it was wrong to leave a bath sponge there and proceeded to take a shower with it still on the floor ... again why? So I have to throw that sponge and get a new one ... extra $$ spent again.

There is so much more to tell but I can feel my heart rate escalate when I talk about it so I'll stop.

Ugh

I'm sick. Been sick for the past couple days and it's horrid. I hate being sick. Whine whine whine ... bitch bitch bitch ... well that's it ... for now.

Merry Christmas!!

My Wishlist

... includes a couple of these adorable pandas!

Whee!!

The boys had tons of fun playing with this toy at a local indoor play place. It's the Up & Down Roller Coaster from Step 2. Hmm ... this would have made a terrific Christmas gift.

Chocolat

Always loved this movie. Everytime I see it I want to drink a steamy hot cup of chocolate, not the hot chocolate with marshmallows, but the rich sipping chocolate. Sinful!

Pricey Postage

Postage is so expensive lately. What a ripoff ... one of my packages costs as much to ship as the items I sent. It would be cheaper to move to my shipping destination than to ship something.

To Yell or Not To Yell

I told myself this morning that it will be a "no screaming" day. I made a pledge that I will not yell at my boys and give them that extra ounce of patience. Well suffice to say that I didn't even make it to 9am. Ugh. I'm not much of a drinker compared to my college days but boy that wine bottle on the counter looks especially tasty.

Breathe deeply ... deeeply ...

Snow in Vegasa!

Wow! Wish I was there.

Too Cute!!

You have to see them to understand ...

Moscato

Forgot how good a bottle of Moscato is. So sweet ... like dessert in a bottle.

Ah-nold

Tempted to get me one.

Some ECards

Love these!

Sweetness

My children's fave shoppe of the moment is the Powell's Sweet Shoppe. A new one just opened up not too far from us and wow, talk about Wonka's Chocolate Factory. I could spend hours in this place just browsing. There are so many sweets to choose from, from the new to the classic oldies. Of course my boys wanted everything they saw, of course. A kid would definitely go nuts in this place, grown-ups inlcuded.

Matt & Nat

Thinking about adding this bag to my existing Matt & Nat collection. My faves are from their vegan Japanese Paper collection and this pewter color is delish.

Bite Me!

Saw the movie Twilight this past weekend. I read all the books and loved each one. The movie was so-so but who cares, right? I mean just to see HIM on the big screen ... who cares what everyone else thinks?
