Sensational Shoe Sunday!!

Welcome again to another whimsical Sensational Shoe Sunday!

The first shoe makes me shiver in horror. The top fin makes me think an evil dinosauric piranha or some other oddly finned monster is about to swallow my foot, so there is no way I'd buy nor get near this one! Especially with my cute freshly pedicured toes (yes my toes are sparkly and cute!). This pair was found on www.makemechic.com

Now these were obviously made for my tootsies to adore. The leather ties make them dangerous and depending on the outfit slightly vixenish. Sigh! Want to catch a man? Try these with a sweet pair of Cuban hose and a pencil skirt. They'll never know what hit them! Also found at www.makemechic.com



Enjoy your fun!

Some saturday fun!

I love love love you, damnyouautocorrect.com !!!

It's time for Freaky Funtastic Friday!!!

Ok I saw this ad on lovelylisting.com and had to research it.

Yes sweetheart it's true! They do have a hat that will cover your bald spot and make it grow! Plus it looks like the Vatican enjoys them too.

4 year old Views of life

To those who know me I have a son, he's 4 at the moment, and a very wise woman told me that his views would make a very fun weekly topic. Thus Thursdays are now View Days!

Today Aidan and I had a nose fight. Some might call it Eskimo kisses but he calls it a nose fight and the winner is the one with the nose that has the least wiggle in the fight. Hey! I don't call the shots in this game I just nod and smile. (Plus I try not to let it get out of hand to avoid headaches!)

Yesterday evening though was a challenge to keep a straight face though. My son ran up to me as I was reading in my favorite chair, he kissed my arm then with great joy said "HA! HA! I kissed you Mom, now you have pooties(his word for cooties) and you are now a GIRL!"  I tried to cringe appropriately for his benefit without breaking from a solemn look. It was really hard though, I mean Hello(!) I gave birth to you sweetie I AM a GIRL, but whateve. :) So then I told him he should kiss his grandfather to make him a girl too since it would ever so funny to him. I love it when he gets the shiney-yeah-I-get-to-be-bad-without-consequences look.

And for those who know him, he normally has a mustache of some sort at almost all times!

Short story Wednesday

Wake Up Call

“Why is that fun things are few and far between for adults?” I muttered to myself on a dark dreary morning drive into work. I cleverly have renamed my current position title to Minion Peon of the Cubicle Underworld # 4, or MPCU4 for those of you who are so acronym-ly inclined. I sloshed through the parking lot of ice, snow and everything in between trying to paste a false smile that said “Yes! I love my job, so please don’t choose me for the big lay off!”

Slipping into my seat unnoticed I sigh with relief. I’m not the kind of perky bubbly morning person that most people want to run over in the street; however I seem to attract them. Before I hear the buzz of the coffee maker sputtering to life, I calmly type in my pc’s password M-I-N-I-O-N. As the pc decides to crawl out of its slumber, I grab my favorite mug and head toward the manna that holds life together, coffee.

The work day starts normally enough until we all get the memo, there is a mandatory “staff meeting” at 2 pm this afternoon. Groans of inevitability started a reverberation through out the building. As I listened to some people taking bets on who would go to lunch and never come back or those who would fake an illness at 1:30, I mentally kicked myself for not digging that escape tunnel under my desk. Feeling a migraine from stress start to bloom, I muttered “MPCU4 requesting entrance to Hell via escape tunnel 3, please”. That was when I started to fall.

So after like 20 minutes of falling, with my voice hoarse from screaming, I landed with a loud “oomph”. It was warm, dark and weird, because the groaning reverberation switched to a high pitched squeal repeating “If you never did, you should. These things are fun and fun is good”! After 25 minutes of the maniacal repetition of the phrase, I became certain Dr. Seuss was paid by the Devil in some way.

I turned to a shuffling to behind me and the right, there was a hallway, figuring movement is better than growing roots I quickly went through the hallway to the door at the end. Turning the handle as silently as possible I opened the door, into a well lit room. Stepping inside it took a minute for my eyes to adjust, it was a throne room and I knew I was in trouble. I started to slide back to the door, when I hit a wall. The wall was hot, I didn’t want to even peek at it, and I could feel the blaze of its eyes on my face.

“So minion, report” as a sickening stench of decay swirled around my head; I shook my head in an effort to find fresh air. Apparently that wasn’t my best idea, because the stinky breather wall was agitated and threw me to the front of the throne. I was still trying to get up when he grabbed me again. That’s when he spoke, a voice of dark chocolate, coffee with sweet cream, honey and ecstasy all rolled into one. He said just one word. “Enough”. I am pretty sure that’s when I fainted.

I woke up to someone shaking me roughly, and realized I was back at my desk, in my cubicle. I heard someone behind me asking if I was ok, it was him the one who stopped my torment in the throne room below. So I did the only thing I could I quit the job and ran as fast as I could, mumbling “If you never did, you should. These things are fun and fun is good!”

Exhaustion

Ok so today I am exhausted, not sure why but I think it's due to yesterday was the first day back to "real life" after the holidays.

Thus I shall revert to an awesome pick me up for the day. Enjoy!

Fate

Vincent Van Gogh once said “I am not an adventurer by choice but by fate.”

So this is my life, this is my adventure because by some twist of fate I was born and by a stranger twist of fate I decided to write about it.

If fate was weaving my life, what would the tapestry of my journey look like? I would hope it would have a sweet snowflake in it like the one above. I think I like this tapestry more than others because of the almost tribal sharpness in the ink and its Celtic flare.

I think I can see the spots where the pain pierced my heart and the places my tears of joy ran freely. The blue is almost the same shade as my son’s eyes.

Question for the parents out there: How do you think your children see the world? How do you think or hope that they see you and your actions? Most importantly have you taken your child on an adventure today?

Sensational Shoe Sunday

Sensational Shoes Sunday!!!

Each Sunday I will be showing the glory of sensational, seductive and ultimately stupendous shoes. Now granted I will show 2 types of shoes the amazing glorious and the startling scary.

Since it is winter and black is the utmost color to atone for all sins. I will start with this glorious little boot.

I like the look of almost construction boots but altogether a slender heel that screams “I could very well be a seductress”. Plus side it would look awesome with jeans or a shirt, at work or out to the movies with the girls. Another huge benefit is its price, which means you can have one in every color available if you wanted to (And really what girl wouldn’t want to?).

The second is ultimately a scary boot, well unless you like to fish in boots. Perhaps they were designed for the fishy set, I mean mermaids can not live on scales alone. They may think it’s fin-tastic! I guess it’s the mesh made to look like a fishing net that makes me cringe as visions of wriggling worms and slimy fish flop across the deck of my mind.

I found these two boots (along with many other lovely shoes) on www.makemechic.com.

Big Bang Theory

Big Bang Theory

I thought that since it is the brand spanking New Year, I would start off the new blog with a big bang.

So here’s a little trivia about the original big bang via the fabulous wiki.com.

“The Big Bang was the event which led to the formation of the universe, according to the prevailing cosmological theory of the universe's early development (known as the Big Bang theory or Big Bang model). According to the Big Bang model, the universe, originally in an extremely hot and dense state that expanded rapidly, has since cooled by expanding to the present diluted state, and continues to expand today. Based on the best available measurements as of 2010^[update], the original state of the universe existed around 13.7 billion years ago, which is often referred to as the time when the Big Bang occurred. The theory is the most comprehensive and accurate explanation supported by scientific evidence and observations.

Georges Lemaître proposed what became known as the Big Bang theory of the origin of the universe..”

Ok now on to the fun stuff!

No, I am not going to play Emeril and yell “Bang!” or “Biggety Bang” randomly through my post. Yes, I know some of you are now terribly disappointed.

Here are five fun filled websites to peruse this year:
