Wednesday!

I think Rebecca Black got her song idea from my post titles. Who knew you could write a song about days of the week and get millions of hits? Why does my blog not have 86 million page views?! I tell you the days of the week too :( I even tell you about eating cereal& driving in my car! Although, I do not write about partyin' or fun fun fun. Although, anyone interested in doing a youtube vid with me? Maybe we can reach the same level of views that way?! So, aside from my slandering of poor Rebecca, what else is new& exciting?

Sensodyne Iso-Active
Seriously. I know what you're thinking right now ..what the hell? Why is this woman writing about TOOTHPASTE? Well, let me tell you. I could never use another kind of toothpaste after finally purchasing (and by that, I mean Mom bought it) this gem. Seriously. I LOVE this stuff. It leaves your mouth feeling so clean, minty& fresh. It gets every single area of your mouth, it makes your teeth less sensitive (just an added perk for people like me) it's awesome. The only downside? The dispensing system really takes some getting used to. It's tough. The first time I tried it, I put toothpaste everywhere. Ooops. So, if you want a really clean feeling mouth / whiter teeth / less sensitivity? This is your go-to can of tooth cleaner! Allow me to include a handy photo for those who are leaving RIGHT NOW to go purchase some!


Jelly Shots
Those of you who know me, know I love 2 things: jell-o& alcohol. I especially love when they are combined. I will happily spend many hours making lovely shots for people to enjoy. I have been known to make these shots even when I had no plans of drinking. Something about them just brings me joy. It think it's the colors (I love color) and the fun of jell-o. Because truth be told, I even like non-alcoholic jell-o. So, you can imagine my sheer delight when I found a gem of a blog. I was casually doing some topical research for my own blog, when I stumbled upon the most glorious thing I have ever seen. It took the jell-o shots to a whole new level. It has merged jell-o shots with grown-ups with beautiful photography. Really, I'm just jealous I didn't think of all this first. Seriously, check it out. I spent WAY too long yesterday drooling over gorgeous alcohol-infused jell-o in striking photos. Love.

These are rootbeer flavored jell-o shots. Seriously. Let's drink soon.

Honda
My poor car is still broke at the boyfriends. At least, that's what I'm assuming since I haven't heard otherwise from him! Oh well, maybe it got to spend the night indoors in his garage?! One never knows. Hopefully, all goes smoothly and it's repaired and returned without any major obstacles. Also, if you're going to date someone they should always be beneficial. Doesn't matter if it's by being able to do your taxes, fix your vehicles, build a house, clean, whatever. Just don't date someone who is useless. Dating useless people is like an epidemic. One you don't want to be a part of. So thanks, boyfriend, for being beneficial in so many ways! Your usefulness makes me happy :)

Photos of the Day
So I owe you guys two photos of the day. I hope you're sitting down because these are going to blow. you. away. Or not. The first one is a photo of my pancakes cooking. Told you I was going to make them colored. Yum yum! They were SO good I think I might make some again today. And this is precisely why some lucky kid is going to have me as the best mom ever!


Next up we have some nail polish. It's currently on my fingers (lighter color) and toes (brighter color)! Cute. I love nail polish.


Now, I'm off to do lots of things. You should too ..I'm sure Dr. Seuss has a poem about doing lots of things. Pretend I wrote that here as inspiration! Hey, at least my laziness encourages your imagination. Don't say I've never done anything for you ..I've kept you young and peaking your brain functions :D

Sunny Monday!

Yes, folks .. the sun is shining! It is still very cold out there though, so it's not a completely spring day. Mittens& big coats are still a must if you're going to be outside for any length of time :( Oh well, cold& sunny is better than cold& rainy / snowy / cloudy.

Freakonomics
Last night, Momma& I curled up with the Mac to watched this movie. It was pretty good! It talked about parenting ..incentives ..crime rates ..choosing names &lots of cool information. Neat to see it from an economists view. I had always assumed they did nothing of interest for me, but I was wrong! I would definitely encourage watching it! We also had some peanut butter cups. YUM. Although, make sure you take off the wrappers first. Oops.

Eyebrows
So, this is an issue I've had forever. Probably because I weirdly notice eyebrows more than anyone else. I love good eyebrows and hate bad ones. I rotate between good& bad myself, so I'm not judging. It's hard to stay on top of those pesky things when you're busy. For a long time, I had really. bad. brows. I have conquered this. You should too. My main topic is this trend of over plucking. It started a long, long time ago back when I was a wee tenth grader. I noticed it then and am slowly re-noticing it. I really hope it isn't planning on taking over the world again :| Here is an example (cropped to protect the poor person who doesn't have strict enough facebook privacy settings):
Perpetual surprise?!
Please. Avoid this look at all costs. Thank you.

Weddings
So, all kinds of people all around me are either popping the question or saying yes to it. My mother is constantly amused by my aversion to all things wedding-related. Is anyone else in this age group (20 - 29) also amazed by the fact that people all around you (maybe even you) are growing up into adults?! Well this fact is one thing that always shocks me when my friends are tying the knot (ps, congrats all you guys!), there is another thing besides the sheer adult-like behavior. What, you ask?
THE PLANNING! Oh. my. god. It seems like it would be time consuming, exhausting and so not worth the energy& money. All of that effort for one day? Wowza. So, since my wedding would be so much different from a conventional wedding, I decided to show you guys how I would want mine to go. Don't get me wrong, I do want to get married. I would just prefer it not cost an arm& leg, involve lots of people looking at me and a lot of my time.

My wedding
So, here are the things that MY (because let us never forget, this blog is all about me!) wedding need:
1. A beautiful ring. Preferably from here. Nothing traditional. No plain white diamond for me. I like color!

2. Beautiful photos. I love beautiful photos (in case you couldn't tell) and I want some. Although I want them to be fun and funky. And not in a dress ..because I don't ever plan on wearing a white dress. Again, the whole color thing.

3. Elope. Yes, that is correct. I want to plan nothing. I'd love to wake up one morning ..get engaged ..get married a week or so later. I'm simple. I want to get married in skinny jeans& a cardigan. We can do photos another time. I don't need presents or money .. I don't need people to throw me all kinds of showers / parties. Which reminds me ..

Bachelor Parties
..you haven't been single since WELL before this party. Hence, my complete lack of understanding of these things. If someone can explain them to me, I'm willing to listen& try to understand. Overall, I think they are incredibly dumb, stupid and people who want them thrown tend to be obnoxious and overbearing. Sorry if that's you. This is a major pet peeve. And those stupid slogans:
My time to mingle, as it's my last night single 
Last fling, before the ring
One more night lets do it right

And others. Oh god, just kill me. So, moral of the story -I want to get married. I just want to elope with a beautiful ring, beautiful photo memories& someone who loves me lots! Since those are the only things that last longer than the days, anyway.

Photo of the Day
Okay, so longest post ever maybe? Sorry. I just had to get the eyebrow& wedding things out. Wedding turned into a rant, for which I apologize. I think it's all funny though. On that note, here is my photo of the day. It's jesus (I think?).


I hope you enjoy my day 60 photos. It's from yesterday. Perhaps later tonight, I will update with my photo from today :) Enjoy your Monday ..it could be worse, since it's almost over now!
