Weekend Joke

Zack P and Ted D decided to hold a competition to see who the better man was. After much discussion they finally decided on a week-long ice fishing competition as it seemed the most sportsmanlike way to settle things. The person that caught the most fish at the end of the week would win.

There were to be no observers present, and both men were to be sent out separately on the isolated lake and return at 5 P.M. with their catch for counting and verification by a team of neutral parties. At the end of the first day, Zack returned to the starting line and he had ten fish.

Soon, Ted returned however he had no fish. Well, everyone just assumed he had had a bad day or something and hopefully, he would catch up the next day.

At the end of the 2nd day Zack came in with 20 fish and Ted once again came in with none.

That evening, Ted's wife Bearnice got together secretly with Ted and said, 'Ted, I think that Zack is a low-life, cheatin' son-of-a-gun. I want you to go out tomorrow and don't even bother with fishing. Just spy on him and see just how he is cheating.'

The next night (after Zack returns with 50 fish), Bearnice asks Ted, 'Well, tell me... how is Zack cheating?'

Ted replied, 'Honey, you're not going to believe this, but he's cutting holes in the ice.'

It's the Weekend!!

I have decided to do my wardrobe truck again. Meaning everything I wear goes into a special pile and I'm not allowed to touch that pile for two weeks. This may or maybe include pants, because what I wear on my legs is all dependent on my comfort level. Though I probably have enough pants, dresses, skirts, and leggings to make it 3 weeks.

When I am wearing something I am not 100% sure on I really depend on comments on whether the outfit is worth ever doing again. That includes comments from all you awesome people patient enough to read my blog and comments on co-workers. I always seem to ask my co-workers if I feel something is to short or to low.

One of my co-workers, the gentleman helping us with our budget, asked me the other day what religion I was. He want to know because (as he put it) "You dress modestly and decent compared to 90% of the girls here, why is that" he complains its from religion. He's partly right, it is because of my religious upbringing that I'm not comfortable dressing with tons of skin showing. But its also because I hate getting stared at because I have big boobs. And certain shirts accentuate that particular area, so I avoid those styles. I also like dressing up and looking professional you don't look professional when your falling out of your shirt (no offense)

Un-a-bra. I first heard this tern on Nick and Norahs Infinite Playlist(great movie BTW). And the awesome cute gay guy was right. One boob doesn't look right. I really need to find a bra! One that fits! I actually should just get professionally fitted! That would be a dream. But I have no idea where to go.

I got told today that my hair looks green. And after taking a closer look in different lighting, I totally have to agree with her (she freaked out later, thinking she had offended me, and came over to apologize and say "as your friend, I just wanted to give you an honest opinion"). I really appreciate her telling me. She then gave me the name of a salon she recommends to go too. Which is totally awesome to have a recommendation because then I don't feel like I am going in blind and guessing. Plus her hair is totally awesome! That's a bonus!

I am super excited for this weekend. Mr has Saturday and Sunday off. Plus Wednesday is a holiday and he also got it off!! Bonus!! So tomorrow we are going to the Alberta War Musuem! I am so EXCITED!! Mr has never been and I haven't been for years! Plus its six bucks a person and we got a coupon!

I did another Book Review!!! I also post my outfit posts on my Shop Til I Drop Blog. And I am starting to really fall for Jane Austen's Character Catherine Morland in Northanger Abbey, but I HATE her friend! :)

And as always

Good Morning!!

Well, I slept good. Actually I slept pretty much all day yesterday, was barely able to stay awake through any TV show or Movie I watched, slept through them all. Sometimes it's nice to have a sick day like that were all you do is sleep. Sleeping that much didn't ruin my sleep last night. I also slept through the entire night and only woke up after the alarm went off.
Mr was such a sweetheart yesterday, he took me to the Dr. dropped me off and picked me up an hour later. (an hour wait is doing pretty good too) He also made me this yummy meal. It was super easy for him to make (his kind of cooking) Just pasta noodles and pasta sauce!
Mr works at 8 today so I am leaving early, I of course work at 945 on Fridays. Fridays seem to be the only time Mr gets a morning shift! So I am going to be hanging out in the car until I work. Probably will read Jane Austen and maybe do a book review on City of Ashes.
Today's outfit post.. Must be comfy. So I am wearing my new Suzy Sheer Pants, Shirt from Winners, and a Necklace from Ardenes. Oh, and boots from Payless (I wish they still made comfy boots like this). I blowed dried my hair this morning, something I never do, so today it is natural poofed instead of backcombed!!

Happy Friday!!

One-Minute Writer

This weeks One Minute Writer, I had some fun with. The Question was

You see a "WANTED" poster with your name on it. What does it say you are wanted for?
Yesterday's Question
Most major news events in 2009 are filmed by someone (or many people.) What historical event do you wish you could watch on video?
I would love to see Queen Elizabeth the first crowned.

See One-Minute Write to Participate!!

SIDE NOTE: I am not feeling well today. I think it's per exhaustion, finally catching up with me. But it totally freaked my boss out and she had to report a possible H1N1. Which I think is silly. I did go to the doctor, but just for more painkillers and a doctor's note. I shall be feeling better after a good nights sleep.

5 Things I am Thankful For

#3 A Creative Mind. In this case,

my mind. I created these letters. The Wall of Wow is a work Project.
It's where my co-workers are to put up notes
about positive things other co-workers have done for them.
And I was put in charge of creating the wall.
I still want to add something, but I'm thinking... :)

Outfit Post

I am super tired today. So not much of a post. I am so behind on commenting! I hate being behind. Mr works at 8 so we are leaving extra early but for once I am ready on time, which is good because I don't like making him late. Shirt from Sirens

I am going to be wearing my Nine West boots.

It's hump day and I am definitely ready for the weekend. This is about how I feel today. ♥ Namine ♥

Work Project

Here's the beginning's of my work project. My hand is super cramped from making these. Mr helped with the orange and I still have about 31 to go in blue. My first idea didn't work out, but I have another one in the making and I shall figure it out. The Wall of WoW!! AND I am totally loving my hair!! I got a PUFF and Bump and it looks totally awesome!! I get a ton of compliments on it!! I totally want to go blonder!! Not wearing anything spectacular today. Just boring old sweat pants from Wally world and a shirt from Sirens. Have a fabulous Tuesday!!

FFM and Oufit

Today's Friend Making Monday held by .{aefilins}. is about Halloween Candy... What's your Favorite Halloween Candy. My parents didn't celebrate Halloween in the Traditional Sense. We never were allowed to dress up and our door was never answered for Trick or Treaters. We usually headed out to Banff hit up the Candy Store and Hot Springs. Where we hung out as a family for Halloween. It was always a treat and felt more special than trick or treating, though really I will never know if there was a difference. But a Hot Spring sounds better than going door to door in the cold!
Anyways onto my favorite Candy!! I LOVE Caramel Candies!! and Salt Water Taffy!! The Candy Store we went to had everything! Including all the old candy no longer made (like Popeye sticks)!! For some reason, we never really got chocolate at Halloween.
So What's Your Favorite Candy???

And a little outfit post. I feel rather comfy today. Leggings from Fairweather,
Skirt from Fairweather too I think
Shirt from Sirens (yea you can't see the stain!!)
Shoes from Payless (Mr hates it when I wear my shoes around the house!!)
Belt from Ricki's (came with a dress)
Necklace (Mr and I actually bought it in banff!! While there for Halloween two years ago)
Bracelets from Ardenes

Have a Fabulous Monday!!

Awards

I feel like the luckiest girl around!! Nicolasa from Low Expectations has bestowed two awesome awards on me!!

The first goes to all loyal readers out there! And all the awesome people who leave comments! You gals/guys make my day brighter.

The second has some rules. The rules are...share 5 things that you are obsessed with and then pass the award along to 5 of the most fabulous blogs you read:
I am obsessed with finding creative outlets, this includes
1. Blogging! writing down my ideas and coming up with creative things to post and a positive attitude is an obsession!! a good one too!
2. Bloggers! I can not stand missing a day without reading everyone's blogs and see all the fabulous things they post! It's my daily dose of happiness
3. Shopping with Mr!! Yup I love shopping with Mr!! He has such an opinion now!! He loves watching Project Runway and America's Next Top Model with me! It makes my life easier knowing he's gonna tell me when I look fat in something (and generally always says it in a sweet way!)
4. Makeup, Perfume, Hair, Nails, Image... it's all an obsession. I am not a fan of my body currently, but at the same time, I love dressing in ways that enhance what I do have! Like my awesome boobs!! Mr 's sister hates my boobs, because I have them and she doesn't!! (that sounds really mean, but even if boobs are a pain in the ass sometimes, I like having them!

and sorry that was a little off topic!

Link List!!

Once again my folder is FULL! It's crazy how many links I have saved.

So we shall start with FOOD!! I love food, I love cooking and bringing treats for everyone and seeing as the Cupcakes with Coffee Icing went over so well at work, I am on the search for a new recipe to take! Peanut Butter Pie, sounds AMAZING!! Except that I would probably have to make 2 or 3 to feed everyone!! I got this recipe you see in the picture from a Friend of ours who we met at J&J's wedding. Click the Picture to make it bigger. Please note that I just copied the recipe from his email, so it's all in his words. If I made these it would be enough for everyone, plus Mr and I could each have some and that's kinda important to Mr! :)

Project Runway is one of my favorite shows. And ever since seeing Love Maegen's tutorial for a Faux Fur Vest and Irene's Winning Design on episode 10, I have been craving a fun Vest!! But I really want to MAKE it not just go out and buy it, though I did find some HERE at some pretty good prices. I found the perfect fur at Fabricland the other day, but it was only 65 bucks per meter!! So that's out for the moment! Plus I really want to make a Crinoline Slip, but do you think I could figure it out in my head!! I tried when making my costume, didn't work. But I did find this pattern. Think I need more crinoline!!

Other Links... think my apartment manager would let me paint our kitchen like this?? I am in love with black cupboards!!And I am thinking I should purchase this book, it looks like a fun read!! And speaking of reading check out my Books blog... I will be doing another book review, I hope I am getting better at reviewing.

Need a drink?? Try this one, sounds soo yummy!!

Here's a pretty picture!

Novelista Barista is throwing a Secret Santa, I am thinking of joining, but I need to talk to Mr about it, he gets mad when I give out our address... or I just might tell him when the gift shows up....

And in lew of Halloween a funny video... :)

Things like this make me wish I had some time to watch random shows like Ellen and Oprah (BTW Have you seen the Black Eyed Peas and Oprah video?? It's interesting). Most of these video's were discovered with co-workers while working... Yup we work HARD!! :)

And because I am on a video roll. This is very ... incentive I think is the word I am looking for. I usually take the stairs anyways, but it's fun.


And as cute as this is, I think I would probably flee this grocery store and never return...


And these shoes are totally awesome!! I just need some cute black heels and I would totally do this. Found them HERE (there's others too)

and as always

Weekend Joke

Little Tony was 7 years old and was staying with his grandmother for a few days. He'd been playing outside with the other kids for a while when he came into the house and asked her, 'Grandma, what's that called when two people sleep in the same room and one is on top of the other?'

She was a little taken aback, but she decided to tell him the truth. 'It's called sex , darling.'Little Tony said, 'Oh, OK,' and went back outside to play with the other kids.

A few minutes later he came back in and said angrily, 'Grandma, it isn't called sex . It's called Bunk Beds . And Jimmy's mom wants to talk to you.'

My Surprise!

I had a TON of fun with this.

I've never dressed up for Halloween before.
Work talked me into it, so I tried to go as creative as I could think
Mr helped me pick out the fabric and this is what we came up withI then looked up a TON of makeup videos
and was able to create my face
It was so much fun!! I don't think I'll ever wear this much make up again! :)But it was totally worth it!!
Dressed up like this for work yesterday!!
Now if only I had a halloween party to go to today!!

Happy Halloween!
Don't party to hard! :) and Drive Safe
