Secrets....

I would just like to say that I'm a really good secret keeper. This week I have had to keep so many secrets! I have done a good job so far, but I feel like I'm about to explode. I'm excited for tomorrow when one more will be marked off the list... and next weekend one more! But, that's my own secret having to do with Ben's birthday.

Fetish Friday

I figure it's time for something sensible after two sassy high heel shoes. Ben thinks I'm such a dork for always wanting shoes that could lead to a serious injury if I fall... I guess he just doesn't understand.
Today I'm featuring the Privo Trumpet. I recently bought the Privo Hops and they are pretty comfy, so I'm assuming these are also.
These Trumpets would be cute with a pair of jeans.... extra cute because they are brown and pink.

The Taking Tree

My Threadless.com Submission

Hey Everyone,

A few weeks ago Ben decided to make a Bucket List (the list of things you want to do before you kick the bucket). One of the items on this list is to sell a t-shirt on threadless.com. Threadless is a website where designers submit designs and people vote on them. If the shirt gets high enough votes, they will print and sell the shirt. It is called The Taking Tree, and is a take on the children's book, The Giving Tree. Please do us a BIG favor by registering and voting so Ben can mark one item off his Bucket List. If you like the shirt, give it a high score, and also hit the $ button.

It would mean a lot to Ben if this shirt sells. Oh... and it would also help us pay our bills!!! Thanks so much!

Baby Got Back










I got to watch a little bit of the Grammys last night, and I saw Tina Tuner and Beyonce peform. Being the girl that I am, I noticed that Beyonce is not a skinny girl like the rest of the women in the entertainment industry. It made me happy to see that Beyonce looks more like me, with her hips and butt, than say Carrie Underwood does. And no one ever says a mean thing about Beyonce and her body. Why is is more acceptable for a black woman to have curves than a white woman? Last year when some poor bloke allowed Brit Brit to perform on the MTV music awards, she was chastised for not only a horrible performace, bad hair, and poor decision making skills, but also for letting her body go. Now, if you look at her picture and forget about all of her issues and her dark roots, her body isn't what I would consider a bad body. I think a lot of women would love to have that body. She's still got decent abs. Sure, she gained a little weight, from having a baby and eating chicken fingers and fries, but who doesn't?
Anyhow, I just wish white people could show a little more love to the girls with the hips and butts. Thank goodness for Sir Mix-A-Lot.

Fetish Friday

This week I'm featuring this little pump called "Trip" by BCBG Girls. You can't tell me you don't think this little shoe is hot. I love it and I would wear it with a cute little black suit.
When I look at it, my stomach gets all tied in knots... kind of like when I was 22 and I first met Ben. Every time I would see him or think of him my stomach would get all funny and I would start jumping up and down.

Safety First


I had seen this video a few months ago, but already for got what to do in the case of a grease fire. I think it's good for everyone to watch.
The email said not to pour water on it for sure and not to put sugar or flour on it because it creates the explosive force of two sticks of dynamite.

Fetish Friday

I have a little bit of a shoe fetish. There is an inherent problem with a shoe fetish -- cost. One with a shoe fetish and little self control can easily find themselves in debt. Luckily, I have self control, but I still enjoy a nice shoe. And thank goodness my mother does, too, or I wouldn't own most of my cutest shoes.
Today I'm featuring these beautiful red Antonio Melani's. I already have them in black, but someday if they ever go on sale, I will get them in red too...
