Coming Soon!

So, my sister and I have had quite the upbringing and with time, it only seems to get more interesting. We've talked for years about putting our stories down on paper, and we've finally decided to start working on them.

We've created a blog to share these outrageous, but oh so true, stories of life.  Be sure to add the new blog to your reading list.  All 2 of you that read it :)

Tales of Two Twisted Sisters

No entries on there for now, but rest assured, we are working on them.

Enjoy the ride!

Coleslaw - the new way to dye easter eggs!

Hello blog world! It's been a while! I have so many things to update on but I only have a few minutes to blog before I head to a work happy hour thing. And the title, it will make sense in a second.

For your laughing/reading pleasure, some random thoughts from my crazy head:

• My work computer makes crazy sounds sometimes, and it kind of sounds like a Transformer, in particular, this transformer. Yes, I know it's weird that I know their different sounds, but I do. If you know me and you're reading this, it should be no surprise.  If you don't know me and you're reading this...I'm weird, and I love all things nerdy.
• I was approached about applying for another job.  I'm still on the fence about even looking into it, because yesterday I realized that I actually enjoy my job.  I'm great at it, and the people are great.  I just get frustrated sometimes, and I know that would be the case any where.
• Lately, I've been honing in on my own style.  For a plus size girl, it's hard to find stuff that isn't either slutty or old lady.  However, I had a thought yesterday that it might be coming off less "cool" and a little more "Feed the Birds" lady.  Strangely enough, I'm ok with that.  I'm dressing how I want to, so take that world!
• Funny story from my mom's birthday dinner last night.  We had some good ole Henry's BBQ.  My sister made the cake and baked beans, and I volunteered for the coleslaw.  I usually like mine a little more on the vinegar side, but I've been battling cold/allergy issues for months,and it's been particularly bad this week.  With that, my taste buds are a little off...therefore, I added a wee bit too much vinegar to my coleslaw.  I thought it tasted great, but alas, the rest of the fam did not.  So much so that my sister mocked me by saying you could dye Easter Eggs in it...sad but true.

Enjoy the antics.  I'll be back more regularly soon enough.

Until then ---

Design Gal's Holiday Swap

Hello blog world!  I hope that everyone had a blessed and peaceful Thanksgiving!  I definitely did, that is until my sister and I braved the treacherous Black Friday.  It's our yearly tradition and I always forget why we torture ourselves, until we are out and about.  We have a great time together, so I will take the day to recover each year to keep this tradition going.

Now that we are officially past Thanksgiving and respecting the turkey, I have my Christmas music blaring and am almost done decking the halls at The Abbey.  I am also participating in Design Gal's Holiday Swap. I'm super pumped about getting more involved in the Land of Blog and getting to spread Christmas cheer around and outside of my usual circle. I'll keep the gift contents under wraps for a bit, just in case my swap partner is stopping by the blog to see who in the world Whassy is :)

Definitely swing over to Design Gal and check out her blog.  Great read!

Until then blog world -

Pinterest is the Devil

I'm pretty convinced that Pinterest is the devil.  Don't get me wrong...I could spend HOURS on it, and believe me, I have spent hours at a time on Pinterest.  But why?  All it does is frustrate me because I don't have enough time to do the crafts/recipes/DIY/decorating that I have pinned or worse, I see a MAJOR Doctor Who spoiler because my favorite pin board to frequent is the Geek board.   And yes, I'm quite aware that the hours spent on Pinterest could be used to actually DO the things I have pinned.  Touche, my friend. Touche.

All of this frustration is coming to a head because I can't make the baby shower I'm throwing on Saturday actually Pinterest worthy.  I see all of these great ideas about themes, and party favors, and a great new way to use burlap(will they ever run out?) and I don't see that there is any way that my house will be worthy on Saturday.  I say all of this and hope to report back that it came off without a hitch and that everyone raved about how great everything looks.  But, what it really boils down to is that one of my best friends is having her first child and we are coming together to celebrate Baby B coming into this world.  I could not be happier, regardless of whether or not it inspires a Pinterest/Baby shower revolution.

Forgive my rant...just needed a second to vent and remember to focus on the simpler, yet more important things in life than pinterest.  I'm off to waste some more time :)

I Mustache you a question.

When did mustaches become the "it" thing?  I don't know and don't really care why, as you can see, I might like them a little :)

I'm entirely too bored at work sometimes, especially on Friday afternoons.  It's either feast or famine around here, and today I decided to update my blog layout with my free time.  Please enjoy my love of mustaches on the blog. 

And it's not just the blog where I show my mustache love.  On my Pinterest Dear Santa Board, several mustache items show up on my Christmas list.  Please feel free to send them to me :)  Or the 2 of you that read this, I will gladly accept either for Christmas.

Can you believe it?!

2 Posts in one day!
I know...hard to believe after a long hiatus, I have 2 posts in one day.  But, don't get your hopes up, this is just a small one.

Earlier this week, I won my very first blog giveaway!  What an exciting way to wake up on Tuesday morning, with an email from Sabrina, a FABULOUS photographer that goes to church with me downtown, letting me know that I had won! It's her birthday week and she decided to giveaway something from a company every day this week, and spotlight companies that give back. Monday's company was fashionABLE , an amazing company that I heard about a few weeks ago.  For the 3 of you that read this, go check it out and buy a scarf! If not, definitely read their story...very impressive. 

I cannot wait to receive my scarf!  I chose the ecru charcoal and will have to budget some more of these into my wardrobe.

Happy Friday - enjoy it :)
