Just popping in to say "hi" and tell you all just how much I've been missing you! While I'm still on a bit of a blogging hiatus, I thought I'd take a break from my glamorous life of scrubbing toilets and making grocery lists to let you know what's been rocking my world these days...
- 'Magic Mike'. I never understood the appeal of Mr. Tatum... until now. ooooh that boy has moves like Jagger. Yes I went to a movie about male strippers and spent a good 2/3's of the show hiding behind my hands {prude alert}.
- weddings. If you don't follow me on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook you may not know that my big sis got hitched last Saturday. Excuse the poor iPhone pic {I forgot to turn my oompa loompa filter off}. Just wait until to get my hands on some of the pro shots because Jill-bird was STUNNING... most beautiful.bride.ever {brought legitimate tears to my heavily make-upped eyes}.

- shirts that go a bit longer in the back - I can't get enough. I've been calling them upside down calla lily T's for lack of a better name and I'm particularly fond of the beige one I scored with subtle knit polka dots... thanks H&M, I heart you and your little boy's section too.
- hot tubs turned into mini-infinity pools. Becs & I pretended we were the newest Laguna Beach castmates 'laying it out' in our chilled, overflowing hot tub. It's been H-O-T up in these parts so when I'm not huddled over an A/C vent, I'm living under a beach umbrella and/or cooling my ogre toes in the lake {some bullies nicknamed my piggies Fiona feet due to their uncanny resemblance to the stubbies on Shrek's wife}.
- pineapple. I've never loved the tropical fruit more and I owe it all to my new $10 corer. I'm a firm believer that every household needs one of these so if stores near you don't carry them, shoot me an email and I'll hook you up.
Is anyone else ridiculously excited about the Olympics?!! Eeeee! can't wait! Fingers crossed Canada wins something and that I get a Gabe update out soon, but until then... stay cool my friends ;)

| an example of what I mean |
- mad men. I'm mad about Mad Men, Trev too. We've burned through the first 3 seasons faster than you can say "secondhand smoke" and I'm quite certain I never would have survived the 60's as a woman.
- free time. The spare moments I used to spend blogging are now being allocated towards other fun ventures like Pinterest projects:

Your sister is stunning! But you look equally as beautiful in that pic my dear.
ReplyDeleteI love your painted wooden utensils! You gotta share this tomorrow in my Make It Monday! :)
Your toes are cute! Screw the haters.
ReplyDeleteAs far as Mad Men...Im so with you. I would HAVE NEVER survived such arrogance!
I did miss you. For real. I look forward to a Gabe post soon. Until then, enjoy your break!
ReplyDeleteI totally miss you!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on shirts that are longer at the front. Anything that will help me from potentially flashing a plumbers crack!
As for Mad Men - season 4 starts slow, but then episode 7 is amazing. AMAZING.
yes! Totally excited about the Olympics. Also? That pineapple contraption... so cool!
ReplyDeleteI'm super pumped for the olympics! and um hello pineapple core(er) or whatever its called...i need to get it :D
ReplyDeleteFor the record, I totally hid behind my hands through Magic Mike. oh.my.god.
ReplyDeleteHope you're enjoying your bloggy break, if I was out in the okanagan there's no way I'd be sitting in front of my computer either this summer. Hope the kiddos are doing well :)
oh my gosh can i have that mustard tee?? it looks so comfy and easy to wear and look super cute in. i love the longer back too but as long as it isn't too long
ReplyDeleteThat tee is so cute. Unfortunately, I am WAY too chicken to try the mullet trend (in clothing... and in hair, but we're talking clothes here).
ReplyDeleteI wanted to see Magic Mike, but I would have done the same thing, so I think it's probably a good time that I didn't waste the $13 to stare at my hands for an hour.
I can't WAIT to see these wedding pics, you looked AMAZINGGGGG. Like woah.
