Kick Off Your Sunday Shoes

Kick off your Sunday shoes. For me that equals heels, thanks to my overly stylish mother always challenging me to at least look good enough to be in the same room as her. And gladly will I 'kick them off'. After doing so, I'll dance.

Last weekend, I had a bestie (that's what Amy Farah Fowler calls her friends) come visit me. I took this opportunity to see a chick flick with a GIRL instead of my oh-so-patient husband. I figured it would be nice to see a movie without the incredulous looks at the screen from my tortured spouse, so we went to see the remake of 'Footloose'. (Spoiler Alert) Aside for the death race of school buses intended to be somewhat of a coming-of-age challenge, the movie got my foot 'a tappin'. And since it's still sunny, surprisingly, down south, I've been quite content. Content enough that I've been enjoying some of my schoolwork, and definitely content enough to be groovin' all over our apartment. People, I can't stop dancing.

I'm not sure if anyone has had this problem before, but I'll describe it to you in a bit of detail. Currently, it is quiet and still in our place as Ryan and I both pretend to be filling our minds with knowledge thrown at us by overdeveloped syllabuses and underrated professors, and yet, my foot will not stop keeping a beat. At this rate, I'll have cankles by Christmas. Also, I've had the same song stuck in my head for approximately 42 hours and I'm still not tired of it, nor do I quit dancing to it. And the final straw: I feel the NEED to learn a new line dance. Please, any suggestions to make it stop or at least limit it would be appreciated. I'm fairly sure our neighbours downstairs are done with the foot tapping and would show no sympathy for my swollen ankles.

Pick My Pumpkin!

Alright, I'm doing it again. You get to pick my pumpkin again this year. I've narrowed it down to 3; however, I'm definitely open for suggestions. So cast your vote on the bottom of this post or on the facebook link!

The Oilers logo. I've got a cool idea on how to do this one, not to sway your vote or anything.





                                                         Tink! She never gets old.







Or do I tackle a NEW Disney character: Rapunzel!

The Best Intentions

So I've been noticing lately how people have 'the best intentions', but it doesn't always work out. So let these few examples of 'The Best Intentions' be a lesson to you.

1. The Pumpkin Spice Latte.

Their best intention: For customers to feel all warm and fuzzy inside while they watch the seasons change and all the leaves disappear from the trees as a blizzard creeps in from the North to freeze them from the inside out.

The outcome: People are drinking milky gourds.

2. Charlize Theron's Red Carpet Look.

Her best intention: Draw attention away from her midsection.

The outcome: Well... I guess you could say she accomplished that with a little bit of coconut shell inspiration mixed in.




















3. Wii Fit

Their best intention: Get couch potatoes to exercise right beside their favourite couches using a television and a remote control. Seems practical.

The outcome: I now have a 'perfect' golf swing while sitting sideways with my eyes closed eating popcorn.

Case closed.
