My Ads

Okay, so i am officially in love with ad sense because i only have to mention a topic in my blog....and then all of a sudden the item i mentioned is advertising on my site. I have two of my absolutely favourite new shopping sites. One is for nail polish and all this fun cool nail art stuff...which i love to do and keeps me entertained for hours....and the other...a vintage sunglasses site. Now i know earlier in my blog world i bitched about how the 80's are coming back and how horrible those sunglasses were...but do you know what doesn't suck...these glasses:

I almost forgot

I will also be taking like a kabillion books because we will be doing a lot of lovely beach lounging!
oh and i am also taking Lindsay in my back pack and mark as my carry on!

Goodbye Family Bingo

We have a tradition when it comes to family gatherings, we play bingo. It is a great time, mom's surprisingly competitive streak comes out. So every time we all get together, out comes the bingo set and we get down to business; Mom heckles the bingo caller, dad quietly wins all the prizes, and i wonder if anyone would notice if i read my book. When you win a round of family bingo you get to draw a prize out of our lovely bag of FABULOUS PRIZES (basically cheap crap from the dollar store, most of which gets put back into the bag for next time) But the real prize bragging rights that you beat all of your family at a game that is purely luck. But this weekend a strange thing happened.....my little sister got a Wii. Our family gathering turned into a fiercely competitive game of Wii bowling. Mom gaining the title "the legend" convinced that it was all in the form..and would lunge every time and hold that lunge until that ball hit those pins. Dad cursing the spin on his ball every turn. And Steph, by far my favourite of the forms we saw that night with what i won't be able to do justice by explaining...it was something you kind of had to see but there was a kick and she always ended with a statue of liberty arm. It was so much fun that we played competitions all night long.
So i say....Goodbye family bingo and hello to Wii family bowling! A new Tradition is Born!

Its in the bag?

Okay, here's the deal....can you tell who's bag is who's? I am hosting a little contest, guess who's bag is who and you win bragging rights. Here's a hint, one of them is my purse. And i have a special bonus round....Guess what items are in my bag, and i will blog about the topic of your choice...i am even willing to write a glowing blog about the winner. i will talk about how great you are and maybe i will even buy you a congratulatory slushie!
GOOD LUCK, and have fun.

A brave new world?

Okay, so i was gonna blog all about my love of slushies and how everything tastes better in slushie format....But then i found the craziest thing at walmart. Fake nails that are black a little white skull on each nail with rhinestone eyes. Now normally i pride myself on doing quite funky nails myself. I have never had fake nails and have only ever paid for two manicures. But how do you pass up skulls.....i know i am 27 and apparently skulls aren't for grown ups but WHATEVER WORLD, you can't control me. So i buy them and excitingly take them home and put them on...now i have those crazy long plastic nails that cashiers normally have and you wonder how they ever do anything in them.....well now i really wonder how they survive with them. Even now while typing i am having trouble. I took a pic with my camera to show all of you but i had to get my sister to open the usb port on my camera because with these talons it is impossible. I am gonna see how long they last, the box said that with the glue they should last up to 10 days. I am looking forward to 10 days of awkward nail fun. Especially since i type all day at work! I am betting that they won't even make it until bed time tomorrow.

The best thing about sundays....

A typical sunday for me is sleeping until about 1pm, getting up eating usually some leftover food from saturday and then......having the longest shower possible. See sunday is the time to make up for having all those unbarably short short showers during the week. I set up my ipod speakers, plug my ipod in, play my shower playlist, turn the shower on as hot as possible and then sing and dance myself clean. I know what you are thinking, dancing in the shower but it is fun.
And that is how i spend a large part of my sunday
