Well aren’t you looking marvelous today, Jack!

First off, I’d like to say Happy 28th Birthday to my best friend Jenna! We’ve been great friends since as long as our older brothers met in Kindergarten. I don’t get to see Jenna much, as she lives 6 hours north of me, but when we do — we know how to have a good time. The last time I saw her was when her and her boyfriend came to visit me in May. Look at all the silly things we got ourselves into:

I remember when my Mom first taught me how to play Jacks.

(Gee whiz! This is such a random post.)

This set of fashion jacks is finished in silver plate, detailed with crystal and comes with a pink rubber ball and everything you see below.

Sigh. Everything neat I find on the Internet never allows shipping outside of the U.S. Time to think about relocating? The cold dry–eczema–inducing–winter is coming you know. That’s a great excuse too! I think it’s time to take out my old winter jacket. It totally needs replacing though, it’s not nearly warm enough for these bitter dry winters. ANYWAY. This post wasn’t about winter, nor the cold. Let’s get back on topic.

If you have a jack playing diva that you know of and wouldn’t mind dropping sixty friggen bucks on this set, you can purchase it at the Neiman Marcus online store. Isn’t it fabulous!?

End random. (It’s Monday, forgive me.)

I wish I lived in candyland!

First off, I’d like to say I am dreading winter. It’s achingly cold outisde today, and I’m still wearing my big huge sweatshirt.

A lot of people think that I’m a super health nut. Which isn’t a bad thing — I eat well at work (even though my co-workers know that I have a drawer full of goodies and snacks), and I only know how to cook healthy! But, we all have our guilty pleasures. I’m not always a great eater, just talk to my boyfriend! ha ha. Living with a triathlete has its ups and downs when it comes to snacking ;) I’m always craving food at the apartment: I WANT ICECREAM, I WANT CHOCOLATE AND CANDY! He has those cravings too, which is perfect. Then we go to McDonalds and grab a big ol’ greasy burger. Hehe.

Luckily though, I do have a high metabolism for my age and won’t be needing Phentermine. Eating right, and exercising frequently keeps a person at a good healthy weight range. Sadly, my year gym membership will expire on November 2 and I haven’t been whooping myself at the gym like previous months. Now that indoor soccer has started up again, I shouldn’t have a problem getting a gut or anything ;) I just can’t afford a new gym membership right now since the place I go to, kinda wants the money up front. Blah!

Dead plant, beautiful floors, and some swank shades

4 Comments

Awhile ago I bought a really pretty bamboo plant, in Toronto. It was my third plant I’ve bought for myself. The other two (bonsai) died. Thankfully they were ‘cheap’, meaning $20 a plant, rather than the $180 ones I’ve seen online somewhere. Anyway, I managed to kill my bamboo one too. I don’t know how, but I’m disapointed. Aren’t those impossible to water too much/too little? Shouldn’t they be happy with whatever cliamte they’re in? I don’t know how I did it, but it’s in the garbage now. “Three’s a charm” my butt! Eventually I’m pretty sure I’ll buy my 4th plant. What is easy to take care of?

Speaking of bamboo, I was checking out La Petite Chic’s website this morning and saw that hubby and her have miraculously put down brand new bamboo flooring, themselves. Very impressive! Beautiful flooring which I definitely don’t have the craftsmanship or patience to do that, I think I’d have a meltdown as well, moving all of our furniture in the small cluttered apartment. And while she’s on it, she should think about installing some swank bamboo shades! That might be too much bamboo though. heh.
