CALIFORNIA LIVING, CANADIAN MADE
Overheard by my Mom in the car the other day. She wasn’t even talking about me.
(Ruairi is the little guy wearing the cape/mask that I bought them both lol)
Ruairi: Nancy is my best friend!
Kelan: No Ruairi, Nancy is your best girl friend
Ruairi: Yes. That’s right, Nancy is my best girl friend!
SO ADORABLE!!!! I can’t wait to see them over Christmas! Eeeeeee.
Despite my blogging marathon this weekend, I did do more than just sit on the computer and write! In fact I finally did my laundry. Can you just take a wild guess at how many loads I ended up doing? Seriously, I told my Dad this and he just laughed at me.
Eight loads of laundry, washed, dried, folded and put away within 3 hours. I love having access to so many washers down in the apartment complex’s basement. I have to explain this to you though, because it wasn’t all clothing.
Sweet moses, I can’t be leaving laundry this long, if/when we move into a place where there is only going to be one washer, and one dryer!
We also spend $300 on groceries last night. I know. How is that possible? Even when I went grocery shopping with my parents we never managed to spend that much with a family of four. I have to say, I haven’t been using my coupons all that often and we were out of EVERYTHING. I’m talking no meat, no parchment paper, no sugar, milk, you got it? Bare bones people. That’s what happened when we tried to clean out the fridge and some of the cupboards before going on vacation to British Columbia.
Our freezer won’t fit anything else. Everything falls out when you open the door, so it’s a bit ridiculous at the moment, but much welcomed. So I have desperately created a menu of the week:
Not the healthiest meal plan, but it gets a belly full and the job done, especially when you have a rushed week and have to work on a Saturday. Boo!!
Soon I’ll have to send out little doggie 1st birthday invitations for Alfie’s friends. HAHA. He’s almost a year old, can you believe how fast that time flew for me? Zippaahh!!
Lately I’ve been loving the slim slender lines that skinny jeans, and pants give me. At work I tend to wear wider looking pants and not liking the style very much and keep trying to remember to get them hemmed to have a more straight leg, than a boot cut or even wider than a straight leg. Know what I mean? I like them to fit more snug in the thigh area and maybe a bit tailored looking towards the calf too.
I do like my work pants however, they just don’t look like they fit me all that great. All of my work pants seem to come from one store, Mexx. I have one pair that fit like a charm that has never been tailored or hemmed. Perhaps I should wear that pair into my tailor and ask the little Italian man to make all my pants fit like that. I’m sure he can, right?
While I was shopping at the West Edmonton Mall, taking advantage of their 5% sales tax (13% in Ontario), I decided to try on a very expensive pair of jeans. Apparently they’re Justin Timberlake’s line? Who knew.
They’re called William Rast, and in the style JERRI. Which I had no idea was “so last season” because I can’t find them anywhere (cheap) online as they’re all sold out. Lame!
Aren’t they wonderful though? I loved the subtle green stitching on the back of the pocket.
While I was on the hunt for those William Rast Jerri’s, I found another pair of WR’s online that have the same flattering back pocket, but just above the pockets on the style above, you see it’s shaped like a “v” that goes all the way around the hips. Well the one’s I spotted online are almost exactly that style, but the “v” is turned upside down.
See? Ehh ehh? This is the Savoy Trouser, and I’m not sure if it’s a skinny jean or not. But I love the arse on it. I need these.
Did you know I only own three pairs of jeans? I know!
