Flashback: Fashion Fail Friday

In an effort to purge my mother's closet of horrifically old jeans.... I came across a few gems that surely brought me back to my childhood. Then, I was reminded....what comes around goes around. I found some of todays "fashion" that I would like to see abolished from the fashion industry....and until then, I will hold on to these gems in protest.

Take the "Romper" other alias' are "Coolots" "Shortalls"

Sure I know 2 people who look good in these...but the rest of the world...SORRY but no go is no go....So in PROTEST, I will be wearing these...

Secondly, this "fashionable" item has been attributed to the likes of Hilary Clinton among others who fashion these at local clubs....

The "Pantsuit" or more know to me as "Overalls" "Coveralls" or any type of clothing where the pants and the shirt are connected....

Take this picture for example....

Not looking so good is it? Well in PROTEST of these "gorgeous" items, I will be sporting these...

Now you see friends, not every item you find in Glamour is fashion-forward. I state the case that the above mentioned "Romper" or "Pantsuit" are not new and are not any better than the previously modeled items.

I will continue to protest the fashion flashbacks with my own renditions....

Just pray THESE don't come back..

DO NOT PROVOKE ME FASHION!!!!! ;)

NOT ME MONDAY!

Ever think you were Middle Eastern because you were Welsh? Ever dance around in your room and fall off of a ladder? Ever scream bloody murder because of a spider in your room?

Ok me neither....so this concludes this post. :) HAHA JUST KIDDING!

Here are the few things that my week did NOT consist of :)

This last week I did NOT accidentally "make eyes" with a guy staring at me while driving in my car. And because I was embarrassed I did NOT just calmly gaze above his head as if to be staring outside. In addition, I totally did NOT ask two of friends what the "driving etiquette" was while at church last night. No way, I know that you are not supposed to stare at people, but cant you feel when someone is looking at you? What do you do?

This past week my email did NOT get hacked and send out ads for Viagra in Canada to many people including pastors among the recipients. OOPS sorry:( And no, I was NOT forced to change my email account because of it. And if you are getting these messages still, sorry.

And lastly, the past few weeks at my Bible Study, the topic of poop was NOT on every one's mind. No way, we totally only talk about bible stuff all the time and NOT about exploding toilets or anything else that pertains to bodily functions. And furthermore, I did NOT almost PUKE multiple times because of this DISGUSTING conversation.

Ok now it is your turn....what did you NOT do?

Fashion Find Friday!

I have these cute shoes to show you this week! What do you think?

I got them at no other place but Target.

They cost me $6.74 but SHOULD have cost me $25.99

These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn....plus they are cute!

Note: Some life event blogs are on their way. I had a bit of a writer's block the last few weeks, but trust me...they are coming:)

Oh YOUtube!

Ever get bored? ME TOO, that is where youtube comes in.

One of my favorite college memories is sitting up late at night and rolling on the floor and peeing my pants laughing at the most ridiculous youtube videos EVER! To this day, my best friends still send me things to look up on youtube.

I thought I would share some of my favorites! These are the best things to quote later!!!

***ADDED JACKIE!


Bub Rub....and lil Sis


Gold at the end of the rainbow



Hide yo Kids


PFFT


In order NOT to overwhelm you with youtube, I will have to post another one of these posts soon, because I have so many!

Hope you enjoyed them!

NOT ME MONDAY!!!

WHEW!!! What a week! Here are my "confessions."

This week, my computer totally did NOT crash! I did NOT get it fixed and was NOT away from the blogging world for a whole week and dare I say I couldn't even check my facebook!

It was also NOT so ridiculously hot this week that my khaki pants turned into sweat collectors. I totally did NOT have rump sweat that I was lucky to have hidden due to a long tshirt! (This one I am NOT even embarrassed to put this.)

And finally, today at a stoplight I did NOT see a Border Patrol agent straight bust out of his car and pull someone out of the van in front of him and throw him in the back of his car! I was so awestruck that I sat in the car so confused....I did just NOT see that happen!!!

What about you? Anything you deny this week???

NOT ME MONDAY!!!

Ever do anything stupid that you never want to admit? Well this is the place to deny it all and live to do it:)

I will start....

This week I did NOT wait forever in line at Target to get a few necessities only to see the "10 or less" express lane open. I did NOT count my items determine that I had 12 items and decide to chance it. I did NOT attempt to avoid the stares from the people who I KNOW counted my items and were a bit peeved I broke the rule. I did NOT want to tell them to mind their own business only to think I certainly would NOT be just as annoyed.

On my way home from Vegas we did NOT stop at a place to get beef jerky and SF candy. The candy warns that "excess consumption may cause stomach cramping" but certainly would have been nice if they would have NOT said "minimal consumption may cause extreme discomfort." OUCH!!!!!

This week I met a friend at a coffee shop that had SO MANY sugar free flavors. I was NOT skeptical and did NOT grill the person taking my order to ensure that it REALLY was sugar free. After all that and him knowing I could only have sugar free, he did NOT ask me if I wanted a cookie or a pastry. NO DUDE I CANT HAVE IT! And he also did NOT ask if I wanted whipped cream! Clue: GET ONE! Thanks :)

And lastly, sadly I do NOT have another spider story to scream about. While talking to my mom in her room, she certainly did NOT tell me to stay out of her room because one of these....

A Wolf Spider...

Was in her room! OH MY GOSH RIGHT!!!!!?????!!! Well after spraying it, it certainly did NOT get away...so finding it again and spraying it, it did NOT get away again! So I did NOT attempt to help her. In the mean time, my mom was NOT on her hands and knees looking for this HUGE spider only for me to announce to her it was NOT crawling on her LEG!!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Well, so I survived my week....how did you do?

100th POST!!!!

Can you believe this is my 100th POST?!?!?! I am so shocked I have posted this many posts, but a lot has happened in my life that last 8 months!

June-Chopped the hair that was falling out
July-A bit of a plateau
August- 130 pounds down and feeling AMAZING

NOW for the fun stuff....."The skinny on getting skinny."

Preface: Getting thin and losing weight is a great thing, but there have been some interesting realizations.... I am sure that I will have more to come, but as for now....here is my list.

Getting thin is fun BUT it hurts to sit down on a bony butt! What used to be cush for the tush is now bones of stones. OWIE!

Getting thin is fun BUT you have to be more worried about the food you actually eat to keep the weight off. Fruity Sour Patch Kids have turned in to just fruit.

Getting thin is fun BUT you have now actually worry that the wind might blow you over. I used to be able to plow through a windstorm, but actually was blown backwards.

Getting thin is fun BUT people think that because you are thin that they can "squeeze" by you in a crowd. Lets get real....if I get another elbow to the head or run into, there will be serious consequences....busted lips and 'bows dropped. GOT IT? :)


Getting thin is fun BUT people insist on sitting next you because you offer more room. I can only assume that is how it will be on an airplane...so I have been practicing..."no sir actually someone(thing) is sitting here....my laptop, snacks, and pillow."

Getting thin is fun BUT people constantly offer you free samples of food at stores because the good Lord knows they don't do that to fat people or they might eat the whole tray of beans and weenies!

Getting thin is fun BUT it is IMPOSSIBLE to find a one-piece bathing suit that is cute, appropriate and comfortable! It just does not exist...unless it has cut outs on the size to display your still apparent muffin top.

And lastly....

Getting thin is fun BUT when you here the "thunder down under" you do not think about the Las Vegas show, but the thighs you are still toting around! :)

Well friends, that is it for my new realizations. :)

100 posts down and many more to come!!!
