sweet and sexy

I totally got a check for $250 in the mail today!! It was one of those really official looking envelope thingies. The one's where you have to tear the sides and the top and then peel it apart. It reminds me of carbon copy paper. Anyway, Mom brought it in and handed it to me and I said, "Oh maybe it's a check!" And then we laughed because of course it's not a check. I'm not nearly that lucky. But it so was! And a pretty big one :) It was just my pension cash out from my last job. I was only there like 5 months, so I didn't have much. Apparently there was a provision that you either had to contribute or cash out. I was just gonna let it sit. But a check it cool too! Too bad I have to be responsible and pay bills. Although, I might splurge a little bit to celebrate. It's not everyday you get a random check in the mail!

We watched "Gran Torino" tonight. It was awesome! I love Clint Eastwood. His voice makes my throat hurt though.

My Spoonful tonight is a cute and sexy little dress that I found. Stacy was wearing an awesome summer dress the other day and it made me want one. I don't do dressy a whole lot, so I wanted something pretty casual but still hot. I adore gray, so this little number was perfect. It comes from Young Monster.

I wasn't prepare for the mask, so it kind of startled me at first, but it certainly makes it stand out. I just love the dress though.

Oh and I'll have you know, they totally jacked a picture of my body and put someone else's head on it. Hate that. But when you're as hot as I am, sometimes you just can't contain people :)

Sleep tight ya'll!

back porch sweetness

Mom said the eyebrow doesn't look too bad. Said she probably wouldn't have noticed if she wasn't looking for it. She's probably just being nice. Haha. Oh and yes, I was laughing at myself for those who were wondering. If I didn't laugh at myself, I'd be crying all the time :) Everyone needs to be able to laugh at themselves.

I'm tossing around the idea of applying for a columnist position. I've never written professionally though, so I don't know. I'm afraid if they said no to my writing, I'd take it personally. We shall see. I've gotten some good support from my Twitter friends so far, so thanks for that ya'll.

I've never been a huge fan of gourds. They just generally aren't my style. I like more color. My Spoonful tonight changes all that though. It comes from Studio Tempera. They make the coolest gourd lampshades! I haven't a clue how they do it, but the end product rocks!

How gorgeous are those?!? I've never seen anything like it. But I want them hanging outside on my future back porch with my future cute patio furniture where I will have the best future parties ever in the whole world. And everyone will admire my awesome gourd lampshades. I cannot imagine how long something like this would take to make. It pays off in the end though! So go check them out and maybe get one for your current back porch!
