Helllloooo Loverrrrrssss!

So got Second Cup today (obvi). This whole getting coffee before work thing started because my travel mug died. SO obvi Dave bought me a new mug for my bday (much appreciated) with some deeeelish coffee to make at home. But it's just not the same is it? Seeing as I only have 3 days left of work, I assume this "am treat" is going to come to an end, nevertheless Kris left a thermos at my house on my bday. I washed it and had it all prepped to give it back to her, but she told me I could keep it... forever! Now I know you hear thermos and think lukewarm soup at lunch in grade 2, but this thing is PIIIIMP. It's so pretty. So today, I got the SC in it and the coffee is still going and it's pipin' hot!!! You should all buy one if you love the coff. The sweetest thing about it (other than the girliness and the fact it is still hot 3 hours later) is the fact that the seal is sooo good I can toss it into my bag and nothing leaks. I LOVE IT!

Other than my sweet new thermos (thanks Kris) got to read on the way to work... all I want to do is curl up in my chair and read... hence why Dave and I are jetting away next week to the cottage. You know those days, coffee, read, hammock, swim, read, swim, read, eat, swim, read, sleep. Soooo lazy, but sooo productive! Right now I am sneaking in pages at my desk... and by sneaking I obviously mean blatantly reading and showing no interest in my work.. at all! Yay for rebellion! I'm so BA (bad ass... or badass as Mar likes to say). Loving this book so far! Ann is reading it too so I have someone to love up on it with me! yay for book buddies!

Hills aftershow with Kathryn and Charlie tonight. Going to try and kiss Levy for Jill... even if it means me getting kicked out!

Too-ta-rooo!

Link of the Day- Cake Wrecks

You know when you see a really beautiful cake and you think "how the hell did they do that" OR when you see a horrid cake and think "really? REALLY?". Well this site is just that! And yes that is supposed to be Mickey Mouse. People send in photos of professional cakes that are great or horrible. The editors of this site compile them all into categories so you can compare just how bad (or good) they are! Look through a few pages, you'll get the hang of it and LOVE it!

Business Sexi/ Business Frumpi

Different functions require different dress codes, and we agonize over what to wear to each. Some you may be familiar with include: Black Tie, Semi-Formal, Business Casual, Casual etc... However, as I am entering into the wonderful world of business I have been fortunate (?) enough to discover 2 more; Business Sexi and Business Frumpi.

Business Sexi was a concept spotted by the Posse at a conference in Montreal in late 2009. This dress code (for women) requires typical business casual wear, that is a little bit tighter, little bit lower cut, much shorter skirt (with a gargantuan slit of course) and whole hellofalotta higher heel. You can find these sexi fashionistas shopping at stores such as Le Chateau. The outfit can best be imagined as a halter top suit with platform 6" heels. Accurate depiction here

Business frumpi has been around for decades, but most recently has been brought to my attention by Mary. The 2010 version of BF for women is skater shoes, oversized pants, a cotton t-shirt with either a hoodie, windbreaker or fleece. Other items included in BF wearers closets include numerous ill-fitted wardrobe items, leisure wear and ripped anything, also wearing these with anything.

Now don't get me wrong- I am no fashionista myself, but I believe that it isn't hard to look respectable at work- even on a low cash flow. Here are some words of wisdom I have learned K.I.S. (Keep It Simple) with a hint of flair. Too much flair= Business Sexi, too much K.I.S= Business Frumpi. I know we can't look our best everyday, but please try to stray away from this two REDIC codes.

gLee Tinite!

gLee is on tonight... I'M SO EXCITED! I'm going to have to timeshift but I am staying up until 3AM if that's what it takes! So many people want to be on gLee - Karen (from Will and Grace), Brit Spears, every-freaking-body! But they are all hilarious and therefore I want them on. Esp. Karen! Can you imagine her sassing off Sue- too good to imagine!

I've seen it twice and I'm going to see it again and again until I die.... which hopefully is 30,000 years from now... not literally- ew imagine the wrinkles! Anywayssssss Idina Menzel is ALSO on gLee now (she plays elphaba in Wicked)! Wicked and gLee this is too much! I bet Menzel is going to end up being Rachel's Mom... they look sooo much alike.

Of you are pick up a copy of the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo! Now when I say book club, I obvi mean "an excuse to drink copious amounts of wine and gab my face off with my bitches" club. I think I may have more people interested now? Lol.
