The Rachel Zoe of the Midwest

My husband often jokes that I am the Rachel Zoe of the Midwest. I take this as a HUGE compliment because I love the stylings of RZ and immensely enjoyed her show. I love to look for high end brands that compliment my Forever 21 accessories. I enjoy when people compliment me on an outfit that perhaps only cost me $25. I love to shop for clothing and accessories and nothing pleases me more than when I get something for 90% off. I mean people, I get seriously giddy!

I also have formed relationships with some of my favorite shop people around both Columbus and Lancaster. Sometimes they call me if something is on sale or marked lower. I also get giddy about customer service. I have been known to drop off sweets to one of my favorite cosmetics guy at CO Bigelow for being a "sweetie!"

So today, as my hubby and I were exchanging emails today I had to laugh out loud at this one:


Hey.. the mail just came & I'm curious... why does Nordstrom write you PERSONAL notes, now?? Should I be worried?

Love,
James

Part Time Lovers

I am currently listing to my iPod and right now Stevie Wonder's, "Part Time Lover," is playing.

I couldn't help but wonder if Tiger played this song for all his Ho's.

Sleeping Beauty

My hubby has gently made me aware of the fact that I might snore a bit. I am sure it is really more of a lady like snore than he has suggested. So I was thinking (being the amazing wife I am,) maybe I should try those nose strips that are supposed to alleviate snoring.

But then I became concerned that when pulling off the strips they would rip off my skin and in turn rip off my Victoria's Secret sunless face tanner. Well....that's a no-go....I do not work diligently to remember to slather myself nightly to have it ripped off in the morning.

Sorry honey....but it's probably separate bedrooms from here on out....But if it's any consolation, I will have a perfectly sun kissed face when you do see me....

Foul-Mouthed Flower

I firmly believe in having a solid night's sleep on Sunday. Too many times I have tossed and turned thinking about what the week has in store for me, or to do lists that I can do nothing about at 11:55 on Sunday night. Due to this I don't mess around on Sunday nights, I take meds that knock me out. What can I say, better living through modern chemistry!

So last night was no different, around 8:30 I took Mommy's little helpers as I like to call it. Around 9:30 I asked my hubby if he would like me to rub his back before I pass the f--- out. He tried to act surprised and appalled by use of colorful language....then he started dying laughing and said, "you have such a pretty mouth."

Skinny Latte = Skinny Me?

So my new obsession is the Skinny Vanilla Latte's at Starbucks. These amazing little drinks have only 90 calories and have captured my donut loving heart. I had one each day this weekend. I had one Friday night before hubby and I met my brother and his girlfriend for dinner....I knew I was in love then....
Saturday I slept in (which is pretty much my favorite thing next to donuts and shopping) and then the hubby and I went out for an errand run...and my first request was a stop at Starbucks for my new love.
Sunday I got up for my Hip Hop class (which I totally loved as well-Drop a beat!) and afterwards swung by Starbucks for my 90 calorie cup of heaven.
Monday rolls around and of course, I want some heaven to start my rainy week off, but I also want to be on time for work....which rarely happens these days. And I want to have a good hair day...I hadn't washed my hair all weekend in preparation for today and having an amazing hair day....

Then the alarm went off this morning and like a bad girl...I hit snooze...A LOT! So much so, that my hair is a complete floppy mess, my make up looks pretty blotchy, and I am not at all together...but I did have a Skinny Vanilla Latte....YUM!

Obviously I am going to have to work on my morning routine, if I want to include the latte!

Joan Jett Part Deux

So I need my haircut and since everyone except the President of the United States has told me my new haircut is amazing...I will continue to have it cut like this.

My mother is going to be insanely happy.....

Donuts are the new herion.....

In case I haven't blogged about it....and I know I haven't....I am trying to be a healthier person and quite frankly, it doesn't come easily to me. I am currently taking 6-7 group fitness classes a week and trying to curb my eating habits to only eat good things for my body. When I proudly announced to my hubby yesterday that I only ate 1 donut this past week, he looked at me and said, "how many had you been eating?"

The answer is around 4....And I don't think I had mentioned the addiction to the donuts to him...only my best friend. Drat I really need to think before I speak....I remember my mom always warning me about something like that...but I usually half listen...
