iPhone Foto Friday

In light of recent zoo sightings at work, I have decided to dedicate today's iPhone Foto Friday to "bring your pets shopping day" - which I still do not fully understand.

The first bring your pet portion of today's post goes to the woman with the parrot on her shoulder.
I was in the back on my lunch when I heard a very LOUD squawking noise coming from the sales floor, and it KEPT happening, so finally I went out and saw that yes indeed, a customer had brought her stupid bird with her shopping. WHY on EARTH would you feel the need to bring a bird shopping with you? I just do not understand.

Next up: Mello Bello, the sweetest dog ever.
We have a lot of repeat customers, and Bello's Mom Heather always comes in to our store. He is so calm and always just sleeps while she shops, but yesterday Bello made a home for himself on our "husband chair" it was so cute!

Do you bring your pets shopping? I personally don't think that the mall is the place for animals, I say leave them at home where they can poop and pee where they should - not on my sales floor. If you are that concerned about spending time with your pet then you should take it to the park! haha but maybe that is just me?

Happy Friday Everyone! :)

My Wonderful Weekend Off! :)

Thanks to the scheduling gods, I lucked out and my weekend off turned out to be one of the most beautiful weekends this month! No rain and all sunshine! :)

On Friday night I went to the gym and then Josh and I hung out and relaxed because Saturday morning he had to get up bright and early to take the WEPT - an English test that you must pass in order to graduate. So I headed to the town of Sonoma to meet up with my good friend Lindsey for lunch!

The scenic drive!

The Sonoma Town Plaza

Lots of trees!

We had lunch at a really cute outdoor cafe and then walked around the plaza and looked in all of the neat little shops! It was so great to see her again :)

Then I came home and Josh and I couldn't decide what to do, but it was still SO nice out, so I opted to wash the Jetta! I don't even care that it is supposed to rain this week, the Jetta needed a cleaning bad!

Saturday night Josh's sister and some of their hockey friends came over to watch the Sharks hockey game. We made homemade popcorn and watched the Sharks win! I also decided to make some cupcakes and loaded up my Cuisipro, but little did I know the bottom wasn't on all the way so when I squeezed the pump the bottom fell off and all of the batter came out! haha

On Sunday morning my parents came up to visit! So we headed to Healdsburg!

We had lunch at the Healdsburg Bar and Grill and then walked around the downtown square.

Along the way my parents did some wine tasting, and we even came across a toad! haha

Then we headed over to Paradise Ridge, the winery where our good friends Stephanie and Anthony work! It had an absolutely amazing view!

The indoor wedding facility, so pretty! And I love those chandeliers!

Josh doing a little wine tasting!

My dad thought it was the funniest thing ever that I could fit my tiny fingers through the table

Josh and I :)

The view!

After relaxing on the deck at the winery we headed back to our place, watched a Food Network cake challenge and then my parents headed home.

Then Josh and I were off to a work party to celebrate Casy's last day! We even had a mermaid pinata! haha

Some of the girls!

All of the girls :)

Then we came home and got ready for bed! It was one of those great weekends where I got a lot done, and did a lot of fun things, but I never felt rushed or worn out, it was so fun and relaxing!

I hope everyone else had a great weekend too!

iPhone Foto Friday

As you all know I work in retail, therefore I get to come in contact with some interesting people. Recently a girl came in (on a weekday - before noon) dressed for the clubs.

Now just a bit of background: the town where our store is = a cow town. There is a slaughter house down the road, most of the people are farmers, and you have to drive a bit of a ways to get to any sort of legit "clubs". So needless to say when this little number came in, we were all having a field day...

Her dress was SO SHORT that she was leaning back a bit to sag in down. And the combo with the heels and all of her makeup and jewelry made the whole thing even more classic.

I don't mind if you dress up for the clubs, by all means - GO FOR IT! But on a Wednesday at 11:30am? really? I have a feeling you could have gone with a more appropriate outfit for a family shopping environment, but then again, I could be wrong.

Happy Friday! :)

The Romper: Love it or Hate it?

After a recent trip to Target which is always dangerous, I have been left with a question: To Romper or Not to Romper? For a very reasonable $19 any of the following rompers could be mine from the heaven on Earth known as Target, but I have a few concerns...

When I sit will it give me a big wedgie?
What type of bra can I wear with one of these? Because I hate strapless.
Will I look even MORE like a 12 year old?
And lastly, how flattering can these really be on? I mean it is just a sack with a cinched waist...

Thoughts and Comments much appreciated! :)

Fish creep me out...

Fish Scare Me! They are creepy, they are weird. When my family goes boating I'm always afraid they are going to bite my toes.

So when I came across this article I couldn't believe that their are women out there who are willing to let fish suck on their feet!!! EWWWY!

A salon in Arizon was offering these fish manicures to it's clients when the State of Arizona shut it down for uncleanliness because you can't sterilize the fish. But basically you put your feet in a tank of these tiny fishies who nibble off all of the dead skin - ummm sick!!

I apologize for all of the articles as of lately, but some of these things are just too crazy not to share!!

Would you ever let a fish eat away at your feet?? Heck no, NOT ME!

So long Cinderelly :(

A few years ago Josh's sister got me a cute little Cinderella picture frame for my birthday! Unfortunately the other day when I was getting ready in a hurry I knocked it off of my dresser and she broke! :(

Let's hope that with a little TLC and some Super Glue I can get her looking good as new!

umm can we say GROSS!

A friend of mine shared an interesting article on facebook this morning that got me thinking, and I couldn't help but to pass it on to all of you lovely bloggers.

Getting Off On Facebook

This article talks about how there are men who creep the facebook interwebs to get their jollies.

1. How Nasty
2. These people have access to your profile and are supposed to be "your friends" - even grosser
3. At the same time, if you are putting up slutty pictures of yourself then you are asking for that kind of attention, right?

What do you ladies think?
