Twitter-sations

The following tweets earlier this week:





Resulted in this question:



And this response:



Some things just aren't as they seem and Twitter is FULL of TMI.

Happy Friday ya'll!

Photos, fuschia & flaunting

It's a rare occurrence that I like a picture of myself. Despite my multiple attempts at self-photography, they just don't turn out well.

And then out of the blue I find one that doesn't make me want to hurl...


This picture took on a whole new persona in black & white that I just couldn't believe. Dare I say that I actually liked it.

But I would be remiss if I didn't post the original since I had a legitimate reason for taking a picture of myself last night.


Proudly rocking the fuchsia and flaunting (yet again) that I never act my age.

Take that you whippersnapper biatches!

Summer Vacation-Part II...The Haunted Version

After touring the battlefields at Gettysburg (Part I found here) we went into town. We had dessert before dinner (YUM!) & then decided to do a ghost walk.

The Dobbins House tour was recommended


so at dusk this guy took us around town to different places, giving us more of a history lesson than a "ghost" story. (Obviously I do NOT recommend the Dobbins House tour.)



Even though it was pretty eerie walking around at night, his stories weren't doing much to scare me so I started taking pictures.

He had spoken about orbs and I was determined to catch some on my camera.

(Click to enlarge)




This is S walking away and you can barely see an orb to the right. But then in the next frame the same orb is still there but very bright.




I knew that some of my pictures had orbs, but it wasn't until I downloaded them that I saw how many. I would say 98% of my pictures had at least one orb in it.

How freaky is that?!

So tell me, do you believe in ghosts? How about orbs? Do you think they are spirits or "just dust" as some believe?

Provocative? Perhaps....

You may have noticed the new banner on my page for Sexis. (Or not, but now I'm pointing it out, okay?!)



No, I'm not promoting porn - although I don't see anything wrong with that. To each his own I say...but in this case we're taking about Sexis, an online sex magazine developed by our good friends from Eden Fantasy's.

Oh no! Did I just say the dreaded "sex" word?

Oh yes I did.

The truth is that sex is a part of my world; S maybe even wishes it were a bigger part. You know how that goes...

I'd guess that it's been a part of your world too and that is what makes this magazine relevant to everyone.

The articles are well written and clever, with topics ranging from sex during pregnancy to safer sex 101. And be sure to check out The Bloggess - she is a riot and worth the trip, all by herself. Sure, there are some risque topics but that happens when you're talking about s-e-x.

Don't be afraid to look.

The set up is very tasteful; the pictures are sexy, not trashy and the articles are interesting and fun to read. I promise you'll find something that pertains to you.

Eden Fantasy's has outdone themselves this time - Sexis rocks!

I know this is topic isn't for everyone but I want to encourage you to stop by Sexis and look around, so I'm doing a small giveaway for anyone that visits and then comes back to tell me your favorite part.

Just leave me a comment and I'll draw a winner from the comments on Monday. The gift is a surprise but you guys know I give away great stuff!

Pluck that!

As in eyebrows. I don't do the waxing thing, but I do pluck my eyebrows for fear of looking like Groucho Marx.



I've never taken the plunge into waxing and to tell the truth, I'm scarred. That's not a typo - I'm scarred because I've seen the bad side of waxing.

Wax on. Wax off.

My friend had her eyebrows waxed, for the first time, before her wedding. Apparently the wax was too hot, or she had a reaction to the wax but either way she ended up with a huge scab on her eyebrow 7 days from her wedding date.

Wax on. Skin off.

Thankfully the scab was healed enough that we could cover it all with a nice layer of foundation, but it has truly scarred me and scared me off from waxing.

Plucking works...



However, I'm constantly checking my eyebrows for stray hairs and I carry tweezers in my purse because the best light is often found in my car. It drives S nuts that I'm constantly in the mirror checking out my eyebrows and sometimes grooming while on the road.

Not to mention that I have curly hair. Curly HAIR. That means that my eyebrows also have a tendency to have a mind of their own and go astray.

And the nice ladies that do my pedicure are always asking "You want wax?" making me all paranoid like I may actually resemble Groucho.

So friends of the blog, should I wax? Or should I just say PLUCK THAT and keep on doing what I'm doing? If you wax, what do you love or hate about it?

Multipurpose Monday

As I was brushing my teeth today

I started thinking of how versatile a simple toothbrush can be.

Obviously the small size makes it perfect for grooming your eyebrows.


Or getting rid of those pesky rough heels. That is if you didn't just get a pedicure on Saturday where the girl already made your feet baby butt smooth before lacquering your toe nails in green.


Use it when there are unmentionables laying around that you would rather not touch.



But it's not just for the bathroom. Take it to the kitchen to help clean up small spills on the counter top.


Or cleaning the back splash that got grimy.


Finally, when you're done be sure to wash your hands and clean your nails.



Betcha didn't think a toothbrush could be used for so much. Hmmmmm neither did I, but you'll do just about anything to make sure you start off the week right with a semi-funny post.

I'd like to say that the toothbrush was not harmed in the making of this blog post, but alas it gave it's life for Multipurpose Monday. There was no way in hell I could use it again. For anything. Oh and all these pictures were totally staged so I really can't attest to whether they really work. I'm a fraud. Sorry about that.

Have you guessed yet? Theme Week is BACKKK! So go visit Denise and find out what's she's saying about Multipurpose Monday. And then come back tomorrow as we both celebrate SITS Spring Fling with a GIVEAWAY!

Lessons learned from FX

You always hear people say there's nothing on TV. Even though we have over 300 channels, including HBO there's nothing on. Some days I would have to agree, some weeks I would agree that the programming lacks any wow.

That's why I am so thankful to have titillating <--fancy schmancy word alert-- shows back on the air. Shows that may not be educational or critically acclaimed but they are "watch worthy".

Feel good shows like Gossip Girl, where the young upper crust East Coasters can be as bad as they wanna be...and yet still be fashion forward and likable. On the other side of the coast there's 90210. The new 90210 where moral dilemma surrounds them each week...and guest stars Kellan Lutz aka Emmett Cullen. A glimpse of him is enough to make me tune in.


I also watch a lot of reality TV. The ghetto, train wreck, you-just-want-to-bitch-slap-them reality TV that VH1 produces and ones with just a little bit more substance on Bravo. I know it's bad. I know it's trashy. But I can't help but watch. Those sneaky producers know how to draw us in with previews of girl fights, drunken stupidness and other questionable behavior.


Then there's FX. For those not familiar it's the basic cable equivalent to HBO. They have all the bad shows. And by bad I really mean good but naughty. Make sense? It's all about curse words, naked butts and overall bad behavior, with unbelievable plot lines to push it to the limit each week.

Over the years I've enjoyed Rescue Me, The Shield, Dirt, The Riches, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Damages, Sons of Anarchy and my all time favorite - Nip/Tuck.

Oh my beloved Nip/Tuck where the plot line has been at wonderful highs-the introduction of Kimber, Christian's son Wilbur, The Carver-all so good, but there has been plenty of lows too. Far too many to list here...the show isn't meant for everyone. Plain and simple.

It is however a learning tool. A learning tool? you ask. Well, yes.

I thought the best line ever was from Sons of Anarchy's first season and I've been saying it for months now-"Bad things happen to greedy whores."

How true.

Then this diamond sparkled in last night's episode of Nip/Tuck -

"Labels are meant for tuna cans, not people"

I say preach FX! Preach on!

Hello lovah.

Yes that's right I have a new lover.


It doesn't take much to turn him on.



He keeps me warm on those cold nights.



Makes me feel all toasty inside.



There were some chilly moments in the past, but we've worked through them.



And now he's got my temperature rising.





Ain't he cute?
