Fifty Shades of Grey

No not the book.

Although from what I've heard a lot of women like the book.  I read on wikipedia that it originally started out as Twilight fanfiction.  I've also heard that after the first sex scene the rest of the sex scenes are repetitive and boring and you are better off reading the trashy romance novels.  That's ok I think I'll stick with my free ibook novel I acquired recently titled "How to Marry a Millionaire Vampire" by Kerrelyn Sparks.  Here is a just a taste of how awesome this book is:

"Hey, Doc." Tommy sauntered in with a grin. For the last two weeks, the teenager had made a delivery every night, and Shanna enjoyed his adolescent attempts at flirtation as much as the pizza. In fact, this was the highlight of her day, Jeez, she was on the fast track to becoming pathetic.

"Hi, Tommy. How's it going?" She went to the office counter to locate her purse.

"I've got your giant pepperoni right here." Tommy tugged on the waistband of his loose jeans, then let go. The jeans slid slightly down his narrow hips, revealing three inches of silk Scooby Doo boxer shorts.

"But I ordered a small one."

"I wasn't talking about the pizza, Doc." Tommy gave her a big wink and set the pizza box on the counter.

"Right. Well that was a bit too cheesy for me. And I don't mean the pizza, either."

"Sorry." With pink-tinted cheeks, he gave her a sheepish smile. "A guy's gotta try, you know."

"I suppose so." She paid for the pizza.

"Thanks." Tommy pocketed the money.



I told you it was good stuff!

The real reason for my post tonight was that I saw Jaime posted on FB that she has applied for 30 jobs in the past couple of weeks and I just hit 50 since I first started looking back in October.    The past few weeks I've just been feeling unwanted and heading towards the depressing side.  I don't want to leave the house at all, it seems like too much work to leave the comfort of my home.  So feeling like that I knew I had to do something.  I started looking at volunteer sites and although my first choice would be to volunteer at the Humane Society I don't think that would be good since there are a lot of cats there.  I contacted the volunteer contact at the hospital and they never answered my email so forget them. I then found a posting by the Tucson Audubon Society and sent in an application for that.  They are looking for volunteers to do a ton of things from working in their gift shops, data entry, calling donors for fundraising, bird surveying, teaching and so on.  The gift shop and data entry caught my eye.   The other reason T.A.S caught my eye was because the building is on University, down the street from the UofA and is in a building that I always thought was beautiful.  If they let me volunteer there I'll be able to go inside and check it out!  I'm expecting a phone call from them tomorrow so hopefully soon I can work on something that will make me feel useful outside of this house.

Yard Sale awesomeness!

Today we went to a Memorial Day service at the cemetery.  My dad was in the National Guard as a youngin and even though he never really mentioned it much while he was alive the fact that he served became a big deal when he died. Last Wednesday or Thursday my mom saw a flyer at work that had my dad's name on it as one of the few buried in the cemetery that would be honored.  So naturally my mom wanted to go.  The service was short and sweet and I even chatted with a girl I knew from high school. After the service we went back to my mom's house to eat breakfast.  We noticed the neighbors across the street were having a yard sale and after breakfast we went and checked it out.  My mom said the stuff has been sitting out for 5 or 6 days and all the plastic bags that the junk was in all flew over to my mom's yard. 

We went over and were looking at the books then I started looking through the clothes.  I found a brand new Adidas jacket for Zac and then I found a Louis Vuitton purse for me.  The purse was only 50 cents so I snapped it up.  I'm 100% sure it's fake but that is ok with me.  It's still neat and it's insurance for the next time we get robbed. 

A few years ago I received a LV wallet/purse thing as a Christmas gift.  The wallet was wrapped lovingly in kleenex and I even got a free bobby pin.  I figured that was fake and because of its odd shape I never really saw myself using it.  I stuffed it away in my sock drawer.  When our house was broken into and our bedroom was trashed I thought immediately of my little authentic Coach purse I had bought myself.  I checked through all the damage and I was happy to see the Coach bag still there but then noticed the box with the  LV wallet was missing.  The thieves went for the fake over the real thing.  If we ever get robbed again I hope this works again! 

Why won't you just tell me?

So I kept asking Mr. Katohater what he was doing yesterday, mostly to bug and annoy him, and he kept avoiding my question.  He said he was working and when I asked him what he was working on he wouldn't just tell me.  At some point later on when I got bored again that I wanted to annoy him I tried to get a picture of him and his mustache.  This is what I got:

Later I checked out his blog and that is when I found out what exactly he was working on.  NERD! 

Lets all blog about dresses!

I've been wanting to blog about dresses for a while but everyone else beat me to it!  My main reason was with prom happening last month I've seen a ton of pictures posted. Normally I love prom dresses but it seems the fad this year was SLUTFEST 2012!

When I was growing up I fantasized about prom this is what I remember:

Metallic colors, crushed velvet with huge bows.  Whatever the color of dress there had to be a huge bow somewhere on the dress.

I don't have pictures of when I went to prom but the popular style of dress was:

I just grabbed this pic off the web.  Dresses were somewhat simple maybe with some soutache or sparkly adornments.  Dresses that looked like different shades were also popular. 

Then I remember when I was student teacher and chaperoned a prom I was amazed at how tiny the dresses became.  This year I saw a few pics of girls going to prom and in each of these pics the dress was equally as tiny!  Why wear this:

The pic is from Forever21 and although it's on the cheap side and probably proper for clubbing it won't forgive any curves a woman might have and yeah some women no matter their body type like to rock it.  I get it.  But why wear skin tight mini dresses when you can wear this:

Ok so maybe I personally wouldn't have gone so pink...or so frilly but I definitely would stay away from these outfits....it's been done before get over it....stop with the starburst, gum, soda pop, and duct tape dresses!
