Love Your Body!
Victoria's Secret has launched their latest campaign: "Love Your Body." Ha! So funny. Of course you'd love your body if you looked like one of their models. But most of us don't.
Momlogic's Talitha: It's frustrating, but every time I see a Victoria's Secret commercial, I just cringe. The models are just beyond perfect with their tanned, ripped abs, perfectly round boobs, long limbs and flowing hair. It's enough to make a "normal" mom feel pretty bad about herself. At least, I do.
V.S.'s new "Love Your Body" campaign is promoting three new lines of bras and panties. But instead of choosing "real" figures, they've yet again picked several young girls to star in the campaign. (Only one is a mom: Allesandra Ambrosio, who has a 1-year-old daughter.) What's interesting is that it's not that I wouldn't necessarily buy the line, but that their slogan makes me feel the complete opposite of what it says. It also gives me anxiety: I worry that my daughter will have to look at images like these when she grows up, and, like many girls, will feel "less than."
I realize that they're selling lingerie, but if they really want to attract female buyers, V. S. should consider featuring some women we can all relate to. At the very least, their campaign could feature models "as is," without all the padding they admit that they use -- and without the fake tans and hair extensions. The campaign could say, "Look, these models aren't perfect, either. There's no such thing."
I'm no overweight, out-of-shape mama. I've lost all of my forty pounds of baby weight, I work out daily and I am healthy. And yet ... yuck. The "Love Your Body" campaign makes me feel bad for myself -- and for my daughter.
Is it me, or do they resemble flamingos? Look at their legs!
I don't know -these women don't make me feel bad about myself. I like my body - I'm healthy and I work out every day. Their job is to look and they do.
I agree. Some of those women are stick figures. And there's not much variety there. Change the skin color, but keep everyone with the same kind of hair and body shape.
Oddly, Victoria's Secret does carry lingerie for truly plus size women.
Lets see some beef wagons out there.
I agree with anonymous.
They're MODELS, newsflash, no one hires ugly models (for the same reason they don't hire ugly mommies) to front their campaign.
If you're unhappy because you're a frumpy mummy, well it's not the models fault… you chose your path, deal with it.
Oh, and I work out everyday also, and I see these bodies as a complete inspiration.
I'm not nearly as naturally lean as them, but I'm 6 ft and weigh 150. The more I work out, the more i notice my stomach and muscle tone resembling the same of the models. The only reason you couldn't look like this is if you were really short, but you could still have a banging body.
And honestly, these girls DO LOVE their bodies, look how much amazing great care they take of them. I think it's pretty obvious that these girls take the campaign seriously.
Lingerie is supposed to make you feel good and sexy and naughty, not make you feel better about your post-baby body.
Lingerie and these ads are about fantasy and sex, not some sort of scapegoat you can blame your own insecurities and wobbly bits on.
Get a grip.
One of the best ways to look great in lingerie (regardless of your size) is to have a beautiful, even tan. Of course, no one wants to risk their health for that perfect bronzy look. Check out Tan Envy at www.tanenvy.com and discover a safe and healthy solution.
I completely agree with Talitha. I'm a makeup artist in Los Angeles and I have seen up close how unfair the standard is. Most of these girls are in their late teens and live on cigarettes, not to mention the fact that they're photoshopped to within an inch of their lives. If VS really wanted the buyer to love themselves, they could have chosen a variety of body types to represent a wide demographic. I do believe that someone in the marketing department had the right intention, but in the end they chose to go with the "perfect" girls.
They look beautiful. It's hard to look good when you are a tall girl. I'm not tall thank goodness but you have to look at it in a different view.
NOT to mention REALISTICALLY everyone is addicted to beautiful things. Don't buy the lingerie if you don't want to feel pretty. No one is saying buy it or else! Maybe we can't wear every style of lingerie but no matter what healthy is sexy. That includes you eating well to maintain that luminous skin and a fresh face and yes go out and play, flowing locks and sun kissed skin :) not devoured, kissed!
Really gripping article. Proportion has been written in very city behaviour. I bask measurement this humane of squeeze. Thanks for intercourse angelic knowledge.
college stories
If I wanted to see flabby, doughy housewives in lingerie I wouldn't go to Victoria's Secrets. They employ fit, tight bodied sexy women to sell their clothes—makes sense! These women love their bodies (as the ad campaign says!) and there are MANY women in the regular world who do too…they take care of themselves, work out, eat well, and don't make excuses about their bodies. The only thing unrealistic is expecting sympathy because you're too lazy to take care of your own body. Ladies, give your husbands something that turns them on—work out and stay fit and lean. NO MAN likes fat women, no matter what they say to be politically correct.

Most Americans Ever Say Government Dysfunction Is U.S. Biggest Problem
October 9, 2013 by UPI - United Press International, Inc.
PRINCETON, N.J. (UPI) — A record level of Americans say a dysfunctional Federal government is the most important problem facing the United States, Gallup said Wednesday.
In a survey conducted Oct. 3-6, 33 percent of those questioned named "dissatisfaction with government and elected representatives" as their biggest concern, the polling organization, based in Princeton, N.J., found.
Gallup said that was the highest percentage of disaffection with government recorded since it began its trend survey in 1939.
Concerts about the economy ranked second at 19 percent, followed by unemployment, the deficit and healthcare, all at 12 percent.
During the United States' last protracted shutdown in January 1996, 17 percent of those asked said a dysfunctional government was the country's top problem.
Last month, 16 percent of those polled said dysfunctional government was the country's biggest problem.
Concerns about the government were voiced more by Democrats (36 percent) and independents (33 percent) than Republicans (23 percent).
Syria, which was mentioned by 8 percent of respondents last month, was picked by only 1 percent of those polled this month.
Americans' approval of Congress is 11 percent, "within one percentage point of being the lowest in history," Gallup said — noting that "trust and confidence in government was at record lows before the shutdown occurred, and the upheaval in Washington is causing Americans' confidence in the economy to drop precipitously."
Gallup polled 1,029 adults for the survey. The margin of error was calculated at 4 percentage points.

'Getaway' roars its engines but goes nowhere
By James Rocchi, Special to MSN Movies
"Getaway," which stars Ethan Hawke as an ex-auto racer forced to tear through Sofia, Bulgaria, at the behest of a master criminal who has kidnapped his wife, comes as a nice late-summer surprise. This year, we've been subjected to what seems like an endless wave of dreary, dimwitted would-be blockbusters with too many CGI creations and budgets north of $100 million. With "Getaway," it's nice to know that Hollywood can still buckle down, tighten its belt and make a dreary, dimwitted would-be thriller with too many practical car crashes on a much lower budget. "Getaway" wants to be "Taken" on wheels, as Hawke uses his very specialized skills to do what must be done. It winds up being a parody of itself, with vehicular mayhem turned into background noise and Selena Gomez as a car-loving gearhead and, yes, computer hacker forced to say things like, "Even if we could trace it, he'd just dump the IP"
Bing: More about Selena Gomez | More on Ethan Hawke
Directed by Courtney Solomon, whose previous films include "An American Haunting" and "Dungeons & Dragons," "Getaway" isn't just a cheap and lazy film -- what's worse is that it's written to be cheap and lazy. The action takes place in Sofia, Bulgaria, which is explained with a throwaway line, but you know that the real reason is because your dollar-for-destruction budget goes way further in Bulgaria than it would in the U.S.A. The car Hawke is forced to drive -- a custom Shelby Super Snake Mustang -- is festooned with cameras inside and out so our master manipulator (Jon Voight) can see and track what Hawke does and says in the car -- but also so that we can get the bumper's-eye view, grainy and video-bright, of all of its smashes and crashes and bounces. In the past, Hollywood car chases aspired to the level of "Bullitt," "The Road Warrior," "Diva" and other cinematic marvels; in "Getaway," the action aspires to the level of a YouTube clip some kid shot on his helmet-cam.
In a piece of casting clearly designed to get young people into the theater, it turns out the car Hawke is told to hijack belongs to Selena Gomez's plucky rich kid, who customized it herself, thereby giving her and Hawke something to bond over after she gets put in the passenger seat for the rest of the film. She also uses her iPad to rip off a plot point from "Speed." If you want to just mimic and mock other, better action films, well, it turns out there's an app for that. Writers Sean Finegan and Gregg Maxwell Parker deserve most of the blame here: Their film confuses velocity with vitality, thinks propulsion equals purpose and offers complication when it thinks it's giving us complexity.
The performances are a letdown as well. Hawke, so good in everything from "Before Midnight" to "The Purge" this year, looks like he's just waiting for a paycheck that will make up for playing a character named Brent Magna. Gomez, who proved earlier this year that she's capable of a real performance in "Spring Breakers," has to sit like a plucky robot spouting insults and exposition in between being scared of Hawke's driving and soulfully saying that she's along for the ride all the way to the end. At the tail end of a brutal and squalid summer moviegoing season that gave us "Oblivion," "R.I.P.D." and other expensive egregious failures, this final offering of bold, bad, budget-conscious action is like the grim chaser that follows up a sour-tasting bout of binge drinking. My advice for curious moviegoers pulled in by Hawke, Gomez or the unfulfilled promise of gritty driving action: Turn the title into two words, and then keep away, too.

When Tyler was a baby we bought some flashcards with a selection of baby signs and I chose which were most important to us and started with those. There's no magic list or order but we just went with ones that seemed like they'd be most helpful to us.
With both boys we started off with signing "milk", I'd show him the sign while saying "milk", then move his hand so that he was doing the sign then I'd nurse him. (You can also use the same sign when you're feeding the baby a bottle of formula or breastmilk.) I'd do that routine most times when I fed him during the days and soon he was doing the sign himself when he was hungry.
The next one I worked on was "all done" we did this once we were feeding food so that they could tell us they were full and had finished eating. This gives the baby more control over their appetite instead of just feeding until the baby food jar is empty.
Once they got those two and were eating more table foods we introduced a few more: "eat", "more" and "drink". We worked on only one or two for a week or so and then would introduce a new one, making sure to continue using the ones that we had just learned.
After we worked on those for a while I worked on the next set: "help", "diaper change", "please" and "thank you". With this selection of words Tyler could talk to me to tell me what he needed. And in the last 6-9 months we've continued to work with Tyler, adding "yes" and "no" so that when he's really upset he can at least answer easy questions. It really helps me to be able to communicate with him when he's in one of those "terrible two" moments. And he also signs "I love you", that's just plain cute!
We got Tyler to do a little movie to show some of the signs. Keep in mind these are toddler signs, just like toddler's words they are easy for parents to understand but might be difficult for others to understand.
If you're looking for a good place to find baby signs here's a Baby Sign Language Dictionary. When you click on a word there's a description of the sign and what it's used for, a drawing of the motion, and a video showing an adult doing the sign. This link is also on my resources page if you need to find it another day.
Have you heard of people using signs for babies and toddlers? Have you used or do you plan on using signs with your baby? I think they're very useful, even just the few that we know!

(#) DrT 2008-07-26 09:05:04 AMI thought you said Hermione killed Hedwig in an earlier chapter?
Since I didn't review the earlier chapters,I should say I find it unlikely that Hermione would have had that violent a reaction of doubting Harry unprompted, as she (and Luna to some extent) was the only student close to Harry who never doubted him before. Granted, I can see her betraying Harry like this if she was properly set up, but you haven't provided such a set-up yet (and why would she have even gone to visit the Weasleys after leaving Hogwarts? just to abuse Ron?)

Coco *loves* the hens….she considers them, "things to chase around" — the hens don't like Coco much and normally squawk, freak out and run away. Lately, Fireflapper, our golden sex link hen, created a new strategy.
"Aha! a chicken to chase!"
Chase! Chase!
Instead of flapping wings and running to the coop, Fireflapper steps aside, stays put, right where she is and lets Coco, who thinks Fireflapper is going to run, pass on by.
"Uh oh. where'd she go?"
Right behind ya, Coco!
Fireflapper chases Coco, pecks her in the butt.
"Hi hen friend! Wanna play again?"
"Wanna play? Wanna play? huhhuhuh???"
"Come 'on, let's play!"
"Yeah, chase THIS you dumb dog!"
It's really amazing how the hen protect her eggs/chicks. There's some animals really such as dogs love to chase them.
the chicken's mother protects the eggs from being stolen by a dog

This is a beautiful rug with a very thick nap, giving it a luxurious feel. The colors are more muted than what appeared on my computer screen, but still worked very well with my d�cor. Think tan and grey rather than gold and blue, with a few nice pops of ruby red. I�ve only noticed a small amount of shedding, which I would expect with any new rug. Don�t let the price fool you � this is a very good quality rug!
Don't get me wrong this rug is thick and substantial, but I expected a real handmade look to it with detail in the stitching and design. I guess I expected something along the lines of the rugs I bought in Morocco a few years ago, but this rug didn't have the patterns clearly defined like I expected. But for the money it is a great value--I was probably expecting the impossible, and it is difficult to tell from a picture what a rug is really like. You just should know that no matter how the picture looks, this is not an heirloom quality rug. Overstock was quick to deliver like usual, and everything was intact. Next time I'll probably spend more on a rug for the living room.
We have been very pleased with our rug since receiving the one ordered. The first delivery was not the item ordered, but overstock shipped us the correct one even before receiving back the wrong one. There was little "new" odor noticed. The colors were very close to those pictured--muted, but distinct. The pile is thick & has shed a moderate amount. We are pleased with the pricing and quality & would recommend it to others.
The only reason I gave it a 4 star is that the product had a strong oder to it when I unwrapped. So much so that I had to put it outside to air out. It is ok now after air out and some carpet cleaner.
This rug pile sheds a lot. The boarders are uneven in size. Some thick, some thin. I was happier with the 8 x 10 rug of the same make and style. Seemed like over better quality. The color is beautiful. Overall very happy with the rug. I wish it would not shed so much. I have to vacuum very day!
This is a very nice rug. Color was accurate, very thick and seems to be durable. Because it is wool, you will be vacuuming quite a bit the first few weeks. Glad I bought it!
I should not say that I was disappointed since I shop online enough to know the risk - the product may not look identical as appeared on the website. After reading through reviews other consumers posted, I decided to take a chance. The rug is nice and thick and great on the cold tile floor in the kitchen, just wish the color were a tad more vivid, closer to what had appeared on the screen to give it more details, instead of being so muted.

Saw the Peter Pan collar and wanted this.
Saw the buttons down the back…
…and made a beeline for the debit card.
Tinkerbell made me do it.
My life (much like the face of my blog actually) is currently under construction. And well, when you're not sure what to say I find it best not to say anything at all…so I haven't for quite some time. A little hiatus is always good for the soul. But at some point you have to crawl out from under that rock, put on your big girl panties and start taking on the world again.
So here I am. Back in action.
This is my official coming out…from under the rock post (sorry I couldn't resist).
If that was vague then mission accomplished.
Even if I could find an appropriate way to put everything into words I'm not sure I want to. I mean this IS the internet, people. Once you write it you can't neva take it back.
One thing I won't keep quiet about though is the Lord's goodness because His promises are true. I know this full well!
I know for a fact that when we are weak, He is strong and when we are brokenhearted, He comes close. So close that your heart stills and your mind rests and you know you are experiencing a peace that can only come from Him. Because when you are walking through what seems like the most difficult trial of your life the smallest amount of peace doesn't really make sense. And so I wake up everyday, tie my tennis shoes tight, channel my inner James, and do my best to consider this test of faith as pure joy because the race of perseverance is one I'm willing to run if Jesus' fingers are interlocked with mine. And you betta belieeeeve there will be a victory in the end because the God of peace doesn't do second place.
I mean…duh. He's God.
"She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future."
I want all of these please!
I love coming across a great look and challenging my closet to recreate it.
I went with pants because this Georgia weather will probably not permit shorts again until Spring. I also went leopard pumps because I'm a firm believer in a little outfit sass :) Add some simple gold jewelry and a great bag and I'm ready to hit the town!
Style-spiration success.
Pants-H&M, Top-Ann Taylor Loft, Poncho-H&M, Shoes-Steve Madden
Current listen:
Motown — Diana, Stevie, Marvin, Temptations…gangs all here!
Current read(s):
…for the second time.
And Psalm 42.
"As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God."
Current obsessions:
Anything and everything cheetah/leopard. It's the new black.
White decor. Obsessed. So chic. So serene.
Current joys:
3 years with Andrew! [WHOA.] Love you more and more everyday. (I spared everyone the PDA pictures. That's why the picture is of just me…you're welcome.)
The birth of sweet, sweet Turner Mark. Andrew's sister and brother-in-law's first little one. Love at first sight doesn't even begin to cover it!
Are they not the most adorable family you have every seen?? But seriously.
Amy and Mark are one of THE GREATEST couples on the planet and I know that they will be the greatest parents.
Now I just need to figure out how to steal Turner for myself…I mean…babysit him…
I mean will you just look at that sweet little babe. He's perfect.
And lastly, all of the sweet, intentional time unemployment allows me to spend with the Lord.
While sometimes I think I'm going to pull my hair out from frustration and other times I wonder if it's possible to cry one more confused tear I know that these days are precious and numbered. These moments should be cherished because they won't last forever. Soon enough the busyness of life will rush back in and I will desperately long for whole mornings/afternoons with nothing but coffee (more likely a giant glass of sweet tea) in one hand and Bible in the other. I am learning to be still and reminded that regardless of the challenges of life He is ALWAYS good and He is ALWAYS sovereign.
"God is good all the time, and when it appears he is not, it is be because he is Great."
I need this.
Ow and black python!
I die.
Fashionable and functional? Well done, Michael. Well done.
I know I dropped off the face of the earth.
My three reasons why:
1) I graduated college (fist pump) and have no idea how to sum that up and everything that goes along with it in one post. Soooo naturally I've been avoiding it hence avoiding this here blog.
2) I am computerless and have been since the day before my last day of college. (Fist pump again)
3) I am playing Mom 40 hours and week and it's mother stinking exhausting. Nannying full time = birth control.
Alllllllllrighty then.
I still don't have the motivation to attempt putting the 547589365 million thoughts in my head down on paper so that will have to wait until another day, but I thought I'd share some of the lovelies that have caught my attention recently.
Beach bag I just bought from Target.
Monogram necklace. One of my roommates got this as a graduation gift and I'm obsessed.
I think teal fingernails are, like, so fun right now-uh! I added Essie "Absolutely Shore" to my summer polish collection.
Want, double want, triple want this necklace from Anthro.
Loving everything Tory, especially these go-to summer flats.
Props to MCK for introducing to the beauty which is a full lace dress. Love this one from Ann Taylor Loft.
Also picked up this top from Francesca's Collection for my Memphis trip to see the boy+friend. I paired it with denim shorts and wedges, but seriously looks great with anything!
It already feels good to be back in the blogging saddle. More to come.
OH—and a special thanks to LB who doesn't know it, but I'm using her computer to write this post. :)
One project stands between me and the completion of college. WHOA.
But for some reason I'm lacking serious motivation to get it done today. So I have enlisted some help from Jessica.
This time tomorrow I will officially be DONE with school work!! PTL.
Unless I get crazy and decide to give grad school a shot, but considering my attitude towards school work today I wouldn't hold your breath. It's not looking promising. AT ALL.
Aaaaand now I've stressed myself out thinking about life post-college.
So now I'm backing up the train and only worrying about today.
"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34
Deep breath. One day at a time, Macy. One day at a time.
"The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory."
"Every wedding is a royal wedding because we are subjects of the King of creation."
Thanks to Vision Airlines I am packing my bags and hoping a jet (I like to say that because it makes me feel glamorous) to Destin, Florida tonight for $20. Yep. You read that right. One Andrew Jackson (plus tax) is all I had to pay to get my Casper-white body to paradise.
The Lord must have been smiling down on me because not only did the flight only cost $20 and some change BUT I also don't have class Wednesday or Thursday.
It's pure craziness I tell you!
I'm one online test and a few hours away from the sun, the sand and 6 of my best friends.
Here is a peek into my suitcase :)
I know it's not Easter yet so I'm not suppose to wear white but…whatever. It's the beach. Anything goes, right?
Bring. It. On. Destin.
Chick-fil-a is a gift from God. Never take it for granted.
I'm LOVE-ing statement necklaces right now. I'm one step away from wearing them with my sorostitute T shirts to class.
So naturally I would love to Live Colorfully this Spring with the Tutti Frutti Collar around my neck.
I want it.
I also want it to not be a bazillion dollars.
Someone call Kate Spade and tell her how much I love this. Because it's true. I do, I do, I do-ooo (as much as Kel loves orange soda). BUT, with that being said I refuse to pay $145 for a necklace that looks like gum from a 25 cents machine.
Other current KS obsessions:
Now taking applications. Are you my
mother sugadaddy??'
Remember when I showed you this bracelet from Charlotte Russe?
Ok well…I did.
And lookie what I found at Anthro yesterday.
Not an exact match, OB-viously, but same idea.
I'm getting good at this steep vs. cheap thing. Feel free to shower me with praise and adoration.
If you haven't noticed…I've been a bloggin fool this week.
It may have
something everything to do with the fact that my alarm clock was set for 6:30 a.m. every morning this week.
For you grown ups who are not currently squeezing every last drop that you can out of college this is totally normal.
You see 6:30 twice a day, 5 days a week. You wake when it's still dark outside. You're 4 hours into your day before I even wake up. To you I say, bless your sweet heart. You deserve cookies…or a cocktail. Whichever you prefer or your age allows.
The reason I've been up at the stinkin' crack of dawn everyday this week — LB and I were overnight sitting for family while their parents were in Bermuda, Bahamas, come on pretty mama.
I know. Us? Babysit? Shock-errrrr.
So here is what I've been up to (other than blogging my life away).
Monday: Happy Pi (3.14) Day! No luck finding pie so we settled for cupcakes and brownies from Canvas Bakery.
Tuesday: Skiiiiiiip. Nothing exciting this day. I took a nap because my body was in shock.
Wednesday: Kept the boys post church tradition alive with Chick-fil-A milkshakes.
Thursday: Happy St. Patrick's Day! We choose to celebrate with breakfast for dinner.
Yes, those are green eggs and green pancakes.
For dessert we headed on over to Chick-fil-A (for the 2nd day in a row…sorry I'm not sorry) and continued the celebration with green Ice Dreams.
Friday: I worked a 12-hour shift for the family I normally nanny. This is how I found Anna when I went to check on her taking a shower…
So then this convo inferred:
Me: "Anna, what in the WORLD are you doing??"
Anna: "What do you mean?"
Me: "Um. Well, you have lotion…in your pants."
Anna: "Oh…that. I was stretching out my pants so I could eat more at dinner."
Me: "Oh. Yeah, of course. Good idea."
Just a normal day in the life.
That night the boys stayed at friend's houses so LB and I had mommy-daddy date night (she's the boy because she's taller). Out date consisted of Steak'n'Shake followed by posting up on the couch to watch March Madness. The only time we moved was to our beds. Yep. We're old.
So there you have it. Life as a mother of two.
Call me a grandma but I don't think I've ever been so excited to sleep in my own bed again.
They say imitation is the greatest form of flattery.
J. Crew ($255)
Kohl's ($44.97)
Dolce Vita ($175)
Kohl's ($64.99)
I think it's good for my wallet.
So I dragged my sista to Charlotte Russe today in hopes of adding some of the jewelry I posted earlier to my current collection.
Guess I should have done some research before I started talking up CR because not one of the accessories I liked online was in the store. So sorry for leading you astray.
OH—actually that's not true.
I found the $14.40 "leather" clutch which looked exactly like that…a $14.50 "leather" clutch (if you know what I'm saying) so steer clear.
I did, however, find this necklace.
(My apologizes for the picture quality. The excuse I'm using is that they were taken with my phone. The real reason is that I am not a gifted photographer.)
Originally $8.50, I paid $3.71 thanks to the St. Patrick's Day Sale.
BAM. Thaaaank you!
I also finally decided on my Spring nail color thanks to Pintrest.
"Cute as a button" by essie.
I painted my left hand and then got lazy so I'm currently rocking one polished hand and one au naturel. Pretty sure it's going to stay that way too.
Nothing like a little shopping to make for a good holiday :)
Hope you had a fantastic St. Patrick's Day!
Remember when I posted this picture and was shocked the whole outfit cost less than $100?!
Well, after I learned she purchased her cute necklace at Charlotte Russe (Charlotte Russe of all places people!) I became curious. Sooooo I headed over to the CR website to scope out the scene.
I won't vouch for the clothes (mainly because I didn't really look at them), but their accessories were impressive considering everything below (with the exception of the clutch for $14.50) was under $10.
Not too shabby, huh?
And on top of it already being so affordable they are having a 25% off St. Patrick's Day Sale. Yay! But it ends at midnight so take advantage.
I guess I won't be skipping Charlotte Russe on mall trips anymore because you never know when you might find a (cheap) diamond in the rough.
I realized the other day after I blogged about this precious little one that some of my lovely followers may not know who LB is.
(That was my discrete way of saying I'm popular and people I don't know in real life read my blog…ok fine. I'm not really popular at all, but it makes for a good excuse to blog about my sweet friend!)
So without further adieu, Laura Beth.
Also known as Diego. That would be me, aka Boots, on the left. You know, from Dora the Explorer.
(Uh yeahhhhhh. Did I mention we both babysit A LOT?)
She loves me.
And I love her.
So much so that I dressed up like the 3 little pigs with her for a Halloween party.
(I won't embarrass the 3rd little pig with pictures, but let's just say their name starts with A and ends with ndrew…yep. He definitely took the cake for best boyfriend that Halloween.)
Complete with snout.
Oh and one time we wore prom dresses to a Miss America party. Just because we could.
She is another roommate of the infamous Brothel, but a whole lot more than just a fellow promiscuous girl [JOKE], of course.
We met freshman year of college and were instant friends.
Shank you, Phi Mu Fraternity. We had some rough days, [drama in the streets as the bf would say] but I will be forever grateful for giving me the greatest friends a girl could ever ask for! (I feel my new post coming on…)
Anyway, back to LBeeezy. I'm talking people thought we had known each other for a lifetime when we had only known each other a few months.
These pictures are just a few of hundreds (603 on facebook to be exact) that hold a million memories and inside jokes.
Today, almost 5 years later, she's still lucky enough to be my friend and roommate.
Just keeedding. I'm the lucky one!
In life you have silver friends and gold friends.
LB is what you call a top-of-the-line shiny, bling-bling gold friend.
Wuv you, Pebbles :) More than McDonald's sweet tea and red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting (and that's saying something)!
I don't know about you, but in my opinion the weather could not have been more perfect this weekend!
March is trying it's best to send the winter weather packing and I am definitely Team Spring. Bring on dat sunshine.
With all this fabulous weather I can't help but get excited about busting out the Spring wardrobe.
My current obsession: navy and white.
(I know this isn't a very Spring-y outfit, but I had to include it because the whole outfit costs less than $100…I was shocked. It's a combo of Forever21, H&M, Charlotte Russe and Aldo)
Oopsy…where did those come from?! This is probably my favorite of the color combo though. Blueberry pancakes…yum-o!
But seriously. I feel like the navy and white combo is simple, yet chic. Or maybe I'm just loving nautical style recently because I've been dreaming of being back on a boat…
I'm guessing it's a little bit of both.
I'm the king of the world, on a boat like Leo
If you're on the shore, then you're sure not me, oh
I'm on a boat, I'm on a boat
Everybody look at me 'cause I'm sailing on a boat
Now you know why I crack hair jokes.
Because this is just a typical day in the life.
Seriously. Look at this mess.
Once again I am waving my little white flag.
Hair- 564,678,356. Macy- 0.
Welcome to the fro life.
I have the windows open and my Pandora on the Stevie Wonder station.
My heart can't stop smiling and my toes can't stop tapping.
Whatever you are up to today I hope it's worth dancing about.
Now bring on the weekend!
Remember that one time I hated on using pink as your primary wedding color?
I might already be biting my tongue.
But just LOOK at this cake! Can you really blame me?
Obsession doesn't even begin to cover it.
Apparently when you hit over a thousand unread items in your Google Reader it stops giving you the exact number and only says "1000+".
Just in case anyone was wondering.
[Sidenote: If you love design and don't read Erin Gate's blog, Elements of Style, then your life is not complete. She's pure genius and easily one my top 5 fav blogs to read.]
In other news—
I have jumped on the iPhone train. Thank you Verizon for finally catching up with the 21st century.
Obsession is an understatement. It's like carrying a tiny genius (or something else that's really cool..it's late and I'm not feeling clever) around in my pocket. Pathetically, the new telefono has brought me great joy with all the crazy things it can do. However, what has NOT brought me great joy is trying to decide on a case.
Because I can't make a quick decision to save. my. life.
Seriously. I can make what I eat for dinner seem life altering. I can over-think, over-analyze and over-process ANYTHING. Especially when there are 346473829 choices, which is the "case" this time. Badum tish.
Initially, I picked a polka dot Kate Spade.
Because I want to be a charming girl who thinks understated is overrated, of course.
Then a series of unfortunate events took place and I decided my clumsy/scatterbrained self should probs adopt the motto "safety first" and go the Otterbox route.
And just when I thought I channeled Regis and had a final (not to mention smart/grown-up) answer Mary Catherine emails me an Etsy treasure.
These babies.
Aaaaaand I'm back to square one.
Dear Lord, someone help me please.
As of 10:45 a.m. this morning I am officially on my last college Spring Break. Yipeeeeee! (for SB, not so much that it's my last one ever)
And after all that big talk about leaving on the next plane for big adventures my responsible side took one look at my bank account and decided that spending every last penny I have on a ticket out of town miiiiight be a bad idea.
Sometimes you ruin all the fun, Responsible Macy.
But don't worry, I'm still scheming and will hopefully be partaking in Spring Break-y things that don't require an airplane.
And if not then I'm planning on having a whole lotta days that look similar to this…
On a different note—
I won't pretend to know anything about art, but I do know that I'm in L-O-V-E with Atlanta artist, Michelle Armas', work.
How could looking at a piece like this not add a little sunshine to your day?
Cheers to me and a week of no school!
(1. me no remember 2. bippityboppityboo 3. bippityboppityboo again 4.mckizzle aka Mary Catherine 5,6,7,8,9,10. Michelle Armas)
Unfortunately blogging has taken a backseat to this thing called life.
Need proof you say?
True Life: I have 902 unread items in my Google Reader.
And that's NOT even including all my Tumblr friends whose posts I need to catch up on.
My mother has been telling me pretty much my whole life that I do too much and go too much. But for the first time (at least out loud) I am admitting that "I've bitten off a little more than I can chew" sometimes.
This is me…
I'm telling you this to apologize for my absence up until now and unfortunately, but most likely, apologizing in advance for future absence.
Update on this life that is preventing me from bloggedy blogging…
School: Blah. Is it May yet??
Internship: I think the saying "trial by fire" pretty much sums up everything I'm doing.
Work: I love kids and I love dogs (really I do), but I can't wait for the day when other people's dogs/kids aren't my main source of income. I mean that in the nicest way possible.
Church: My 10th graders are the bomb.com. Seriously. Spending time with them is a highlight of my week/life.
(Here we are at a retreat 2 weekends ago. I know for a FACT I was not that cute as a sophomore.)
My own Bible study group is going through the book of James and anyone who has read James knows how straight to the point and convicting it is. Just trying to soak it all in and process right now.
Boy to the friend: Andrew got accepted into the Chick-fil-A Interim Manager class! Yay!
Not that I'm surprised because he's awesome but I'm still super proud of him. So he is downtown for the for the next 3 weeks being all businessman-y. Shaking hands and kissing babies. :)
Aaaaaaand on a really, really exciting note—a friend of mine is pregnant (yippee!).
But NOT only is she pregnant…she has asked MCK and I to decorate the nursery! We are ecstatic and having so.much.fun pulling together precious, adorable baby stuff. Tomorrow we are going to measure the room and take pictures so we can start creating inspiration boards. More to come on this and our adventures as interior designers I'm sure.
Well, that's the cliffnotes version of my life right now.
I'll admit to sometimes feeling overwhelmed, but as always the Lord continues to be so, so sweet in my time of need. He is always reminding me of His promises in scripture and surrounding me with encouraging family and friends.
Hope y'all are having a fantastic Tuesday! I mean it when I say I'm missing you!

The video and images coming out of Japan paint a horrific picture of devastation. The earthquake and tsunami have washed entire towns away and when the final death toll is counted, it will almost certainly be monumental. Besides being displaced by these natural disasters, thousands have been forced into shelters out of fear of radiation coming from the country's crippled nuclear power plants. People all across America and right here in the Tennessee Valley are looking for ways to help. Unfortunately, others are looking to cash in on this tragedy by posing as charitable organizations trying to cash in on your generosity. The Better Business Bureau advises you to only give money to reputable organizations. If approached by an organization you are not familiar with, ask them for more information, including a list of their board members. If they refuse to answer your questions, don't give them your money. For a list of local charities who are trying to help the people of Japan, go to the My Take section of WAFF.com. I'm Vanessa Oubre and that's my take. What's yours?

Grand Forks, ND – Looking at the stats this year, there seems to be a reoccurring theme, the Fighting Sioux get scored on first in most of their games and after getting the first goal in Friday night's game, the Fighting Sioux again added to their streak of having the first goal scored against them; after tonight's first Tiger goal, the Fighting Sioux have now been scored on first in 10 of 14 games.
This time that stat didn't matter, as the Fighting Sioux won the game in a gritty team effort, led by Fighting Sioux sophomore forward Brock Nelson (1g-2—3pts). The Fighting Sioux also survived a late surge by the Tigers in the closing seconds of the game, to hold on to win 4-3. Tonight's win, allowed the Fighting Sioux to get their first sweep of the 2011-12 season.
Much like Friday's game, the score remained 0-0 for a very short time, this time it was the Colorado College Tigers that got on the scoreboard first as they scored .40 seconds into the game. Tiger junior forward Rylan Schwartz scored on the first shot of the game, as he took a snap shot from the right circle that beat Fighting Sioux goalie Aaron Dell.
That would be the first of three goals on the night for the junior forward from Wilcox, Saskatchewan. Schwartz also had a hat trick in Friday's game for the Tigers. It's not very often that a team can have a player that gets a hat trick in back to back games, only to see his team lose both games.
Anyone that has watched the Colorado Tigers play, know that the Schwartz brothers are very good hockey players, dating back to last season, Rylan's younger brother Jaden Schwartz has scored (9g-22a—31pts) in the last 17 games he has played.
The Sioux would go on the power play at the 05:02 mark of the first period, with Tiger defenseman Aaron Harstad in the penalty box for roughing, the Fighting Sioux wasted little time cashing in on the man advantage; Brock Nelson took a pass from Corbin Knight and scored at the 05:07 mark of the first period, just five seconds into the power play.
The Tigers would get their first shot on the power play, when Dillon Simpson was assessed a minor penalty for delay of game, at the 15:28 mark of the first period. The Tigers not to be outdone by the Fighting Sioux, scored eight seconds into their man advantage as Rylan Schwartz scored at 15:36 mark of the first period to give the Tigers a brief 2-1 lead.
The Sioux would tie the game four minutes and six second later at the 19:42 mark of the first period. Sioux forward Derek Rodwell, who was camped in front of the Tiger net, tipped a Ben Blood blast from the point past Tiger goalie Joe Howe. The Fighting Sioux outshot the Tigers 11-6 in the first period.
Going into the second period of tonight's game, Tiger forward Rylan Schwartz had scored seven goals in seven periods of hockey against the Fighting Sioux, dating back to last season's semi final game at the WCHA Final Five. That streak would end during the second period of tonight's game as Schwartz was held off of the score sheet during the second period.
The Fighting Sioux scored in the waning minutes of the second period, this time with 34.3 seconds remaining in the period. Sioux forward Brock Nelson took the puck, raced into the into the offensive zone, passed the puck to Danny Kristo, who attempted a wrap around shot on the Tiger goal, that shot was saved by Tiger goalie Joe Howe, Knight picked up the rebound and shot the puck into the Tiger net, giving the Fighting Sioux a 3-2 lead. The Fighting Sioux outshot the Tigers 11-4 in the third period.
The Fighting Sioux got into penalty trouble in the early minutes of the third period and started a parade to the penalty box; with Mario Lamoureux already in the box for a hooking, Ben Blood was assess a two minute minor for boarding. The Sioux would kill the two man advantage, that penalty kill seemed to give the Fighting Sioux momentum.
Fighting Sioux goalie Aaron Dell was asked about killing the Tiger two man advantage in the third period, Dell said, "it was huge, we have had a hard time with five on threes this year, and that was the biggest kill of the game, it was a huge momentum swing there."
The Sioux extended their lead to 4-2 at the 06:09 of the third period with a shorthanded goal from Danny Kristo. The Tigers would close the gap to 4-3 at the 13:25 mark of the third period with "another" goal from Rylan Schwartz.
The Fighting Sioux would survive a frantic finish by the Tigers at the end of the game to hang on for a 4-3 win to sweep the Tigers. After the game Fighting Sioux head coach Dave Hakstol said, "that his team took a step forward tonight." Coach Hakstol said, "that he liked the overall play of his team."

Janelle Monae lets loose in another preview of her "Dance Apocalyptic" video. While Monae's first sneak peek offered a glance at the set (a stark striped background, back-up players in crisp white uniforms, bright stage lights), the new clip, courtesy of BET, shows that Monae refuses to stand still.
Instead of her usual pompadour — the Monae, as the singer once said — she sports a full head of crimped hair, which bobs as she flails around the stage. And the longer the preview runs, panning out to show Monae's backup dancers and studio audience, the more it recalls Andre 3000's "Hey Ya!" video, which was inspired by yet another iconic pop moment: The Beatles' landmark appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show.
Monae's "Dance Apocalyptic" video drops later today. For now, check out the preview up top.

tinypawpets's itty bitty ~2 week old rescue female. She had just been treated for lice, hence the white dots on her fur. I would have most definitely ratnapped her had she had the misfortune of being born a boy, but alas, she was a female & could not stay with me. I think Kaley named her Thumbellina, but I called her Paxina because she looked just like Pax when he was a baby (complete with squinty eyes!)
She fell asleep in my hand & bruxed when I petted her & I definitely fell in love a little.

From time to time Sky may need to update the software in the Sky Hub or router. This will be an automated process and you do not need to do anything. However, during the upgrade the Sky Hub or router must not be switched off.
- When will the software upgrades take place?
Remote upgrades are done during the night, as this is typically the period with minimal activity online from Sky Broadband customers. As some customers switch off their routers overnight, upgrades are sometimes also done during day time to ensure as many customers as possible benefit from the upgrades.
- Will I be able to use the internet during the upgrade?
No. During this time you will be unable to access the internet, and if you use an email program to check emails from your computer, you will not be able to access new emails or send emails during the upgrade.
- Will I be able to use my computer during the upgrade?
Yes. You will be able to use your computer for all other applications, except the internet.
- When will I see that the upgrade is completed?
Your Sky Hub or Sky router will reboot automatically once the upgrade is completed. After your Sky Hub or Sky router comes back on line, you will be able to access the internet as normal.
- How do I know if my Sky Hub or Sky router has been upgraded?
You can check if your Sky Hub or Sky router has been upgraded through the Sky router status page.
- Open your web browser, type 192.168.0.1 in the address bar and press Enter to access the router settings.
- Enter the the following login details when prompted: Username: admin Password: sky

- How do I know the upgrade has started?
Sky Hub
At the beginning of the upgrade the Sky Hub's power light will blink fast and the internet light will be off. The power light will then remain steady with the internet light off until the reboot completes. If you try to connect to the internet during this time, you may see a "no connection" error message on the following fault diagnostics page.
The upgrade will have completed when the internet light is on (steady white) and if you reconnect to the internet the diagnostics page will disappear.
Older Sky routers
At the beginning of the upgrade the Sky router's power and test lights will begin to flash. If you are using your computer when the upgrade is happening and try to visit a web page, you will see a sky router upgrade message on your screen.
- Will this message appear if I haven't got an internet browser open?
No. You will only see this message if you are using your computer when the upgrade is happening, and try to visit a web page in your browser window.
- How long will the upgrade process last?
It is estimated that this upgrade will take approximately between 2 to 5 minutes. However, sometimes the router may need manually resetting.
Sky Hub
If after 15 minutes the internet light is still not steady, or the power light is still blinking you can try the following reset procedures:
Soft reset: Press and hold the reset button on the back of the Sky Hub for approximately 2 seconds (the power light will flash amber once). The Sky Hub should reboot and connect to the internet.
Factory reset: If the first step does not work you can reset the Sky Hub to its default factory settings, which will also reset any changes you have made to you default wireless passwords, network ID, or other changes.
Press and hold the reset button on the back of the Sky Hub until the power light flashes on and off four times then remains on. This will take approximately 10 seconds. The Sky Hub should reboot with default settings and connect to the internet.
Your default network ID is printed on the back of the router. If you are still not able to get back on line please contact Sky Technical Support on 03442 410 515.
Older Sky routers
if after 15 minutes your Sky router's power and test lights are still flashing, turn the router off, wait 10 seconds, and turn it back on again. Wait around 60 seconds for the router to find the broadband connection. You should then be able to use your broadband as normal. However, if after completing this procedure, the router power and test lights are still flashing for longer than 2-3 minutes, or you are not able to get online, contact Technical Support on 03442 410 515.

Katie Takes Care of Business
by POPSUGAR Celebrity 55 Reactions 0 Shares Print
While Tom was off supporting his buddy Will Smith across America, Katie Holmes held down the fort in LA yesterday. She left her mini shopping partner at home this time around, but still took a page from Suri's book and got in the holiday spirit with some festive red pants. Tom and Katie looked like they were having lots of fun cheering on the Spice Girls last week and the two caught the show again in Vegas on Sunday. Now that Tom's away and Suri's at home, Katie has alone time to find the perfect holiday gifts for the family.

a garden variety dress
9 comments:
I am going through the exact same process you are right now...fitting a sheath dress.ReplyDelete
I've never bought one or made one because I can't get the fit right. :(
Interestingly I just blogged about how this would be a great sheath dress pattern! I went through a month-long process of fitting a sheath dress (detailed in excruciating detail on my blog). Seriously, it stunk. But I'm so excited to have a dress pattern that I can make 20 different versions of. And with all the work I put in, I plan to make about that many!ReplyDelete
Good luck with yours! Really looking forward to seeing this finished.
Once you fix the back, this will be a great pattern asset. All sewers should aspire to have a basic dress pattern that can be changed to suit the seasons or styles. I'm working through a number of projects at the moment, but high on the to do list is a muslin for my Simplicity sheath dress. I'm very jealous that you have a direct line to SK, the queen of thread.ReplyDelete
Good luck :) Good basic pattern. Once you get the fit right you will be able to whip up lots of variations.ReplyDelete
Good luck! You certainly will be able to use this pattern for all kinds of different things once you get it fitted. It is almost a "basic sloper" in that way. One thing that came to mind when looking at your pictures is that since you started out with a size 18 and then added even more length to it, maybe the bodice is too long in proportion to you. I will eagerly await reading about what you learn in your lesson...ReplyDelete
Wow...your garden dress looks awesome. where can I buy it and at what cost.ReplyDelete
Except for the back bodice the rest look really good. The back looks like you need to make a sway back adjustment, unless the side seams aren't where they should be either. It looks like the perfect platform for a tnt pattern.ReplyDelete
I just caught that you have lessons with Susan. Khalje? You lucky girl. wow am I jealous!ReplyDelete
Since I'm working backward I can see where you went with this, but am intrigued by your sizing and cutting choices as they are so similar to mine through the shoulder and bodice.ReplyDelete
I wish I could have a Camellia bush but I am just a little too far North.
Thanks for visiting my blog and Happy Sewing, xo

Vans Era 2 Tone Plimsolls – Black/Camouflage
Initially released in 1976, the Vans Era was one of the original shoes that was created for skateboarding because of their ankle padding and flexible sole. In the conventional Vans shoe silhouette, the Era 2 tone is an alternative to the very-popular Authentic trainer.
The easy lace fastening is central to the sharp black canvas that includes hints of camouflage to the tongue and heel, which efficiently contrasts and stands to attention. Sitting on a white vulcanised midsole, all the signature characteristics are included – a small label tab to side, an 'off the Wall' logo to the heel and a retro gum waffle sole.
Wear these Vans trainers with slim fit denim and an zip through hoodie to capture on trend military styling.

Posted July 21, 2012 on AP on Fox
PLAYERS: Brett Myers, Addison Reed
TEAMS: Chicago White Sox, Houston Astros
TEAMS: Chicago White Sox, Houston Astros
The Chicago White Sox have acquired Houston reliever Brett Myers for two minor league pitchers and a player to be named. Myers had 19 saves and a 3.52 ERA for the Astros this season and will try to bolster an inexperienced Chicago bullpen. Addison Reed, Chicago's 23-year-old closer, has 15 saves but a 4.24 ERA. Rookie Nate Jones has a 3.57 ERA in 35 appearances. The White Sox entered Saturday's game at Detroit with a half-game lead on the Tigers atop the AL Central. The Astros are in last place in the NL Central and had little need to keep Myers, a 31-year-old right-hander. Houston receives right-hander Matt Heidenreich and left-hander Blair Walters. Chicago also receives cash considerations from Houston in the deal.

GOP Congressman Steve Stockman says the use of executive actions by the White House to clamp down on gun owners is unconstitutional.
A Texas Republican congressman says he'll do whatever it takes – including starting impeachment proceedings against President Barack Obama – to counter the White House's use of executive actions to clamp down on gun owners.
Rep. Steve Stockman says the implementation of gun-control regulations without going through Congress infringes on "the God-given right to keep and bear arms protected by the Second Amendment."
He said he would lead the fight to defeat the president's proposals, including seeking legislation to overturn the executive actions and barring funds to enforce them.
"Now, I would hope those measures are enough to either deter President Obama or thwart his efforts. However, if they do not or are unsuccessful I will consider speaking with my colleagues and filing articles of impeachment," Stockman said in a statement.
"Impeachment is not something to be taken lightly. It is a grave and serious undertaking that should only be initiated in a sober and serious manner. It should be reserved only for most egregious of trespasses by the president."
Stockman's comments came after Obama announced on Wednesday that he has initiated nearly two dozen executive actions aimed at curbing the nation's gun violence, including steps to strengthen the existing system for firearms background checks and to improve mental health and school safety programs. The actions require no congressional approval.
The president also called on Congress to swiftly pass legislation to ban assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines for civilian use and to require universal background checks for all gun buyers.
The sweeping plan to battle gun violence comes in response to the school shootings in Newtown, Conn., last month in which 20 children and six adults were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Stockman isn't the only one to raise the specter of impeachment proceeding against the president. Edwin Meese, former U.S. attorney general under Ronald Reagan, told Newsmax on Wednesday that Obama is treading dangerous ground by acting unilaterally.
"It would not be legal. It would not be constitutional," Meese told Newsmax. "And, indeed, if he tried to override the Second Amendment in any way, I believe it would be an impeachable offense."
The House of Representatives has the sole power of impeachment and the Senate the sole power to try impeachments. Conviction requires a two-thirds vote.
Only two U.S. presidents have ever been impeached: Andrew Johnson in 1868 for, among other things, usurpation of the law after he fired his war secretary, and Bill Clinton in 1998 for allegedly lying under oath about his relationship with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. Neither was convicted by the Senate.

Kandel Lab Offers Insight on Learning Not to Fear Under Stress
Learning How Not to Be Afraid
Why do some people have the ability to remain calm and relaxed even in the most stressful situations? New experiments in mice by Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) researchers are providing insight into how the brain changes when the animals learn to feel safe and secure in situations that would normally make them anxious.
HHMI investigator Eric R. Kandel and Daniela D. Pollak conducted experiments in which they conditioned mice to feel safe in stressful situations. Their experiments showed that the mice developed a conditioned inhibition of fear, which Kandel calls learned safety. More...
