World According to Shia

So my Monday is starting off crazy ...  I left 5 mins late which then turns into 15 mins late because of traffic. My parking spot was taken in the garage.   I forgot my phone at home. I forgot my ipod touch in my car ... okay going to get it ... hello no windows bashed in for me! Annoying co-workers just seem EXTRA ANNOYING on Mondays ... am I right? No Starbucks because of the whole leaving late ... tried to drink firm coffee ... OMG DISGUSTING!!!  I just had to chew two pieces of gum to get rid of that foulness! I just noticed that I am missing the little plastic part of my heel on my shoe.  GRRRR!  I hate when you finally get shoes "broken in" and then you have to buy new ones because they start falling apart or smell horribly bad ... come on admit it ... they do! Silver Linings.... BIG bag of candy in the firm kitchen and I walked away ... yes AWAY with NONE!  I am so proud. When I go back to the parking gara...

Hermes Pencil $95 You know me I am all about stationary stuff, back to school sales on pens and paper and super cute office stuff but come on a pencil that costs $95 for ONE!!!  Hello you sharpen it and it gets SMALLER!  Also, it doesn't even have an eraser!  That is the sole purpose of a pencil ... you can ERASE your MISTAKES!  I can kinda see an expensive pen set but one leather bound pencil?  When would there ever be a moment when you would need an $85 pencil that has no eraser? So what do you think?   Is this the most ridiculous thing you ever seen?

Nicole Kidman wore this My Fair Lady inspired outfit to the Melbourne Cup, a major Australian horse race, at Flemington Racecourse in her native Australia, where the entire crowd was decked out for the 2012 AAMI Victoria Derby Day.  The fab outfit featured a white lace dress with a black and white striped bow, black peep-toe heels, and a matching handbag by her favorite designer L'Wren Scott, all topped off with a dramatic hat by Stephen Jones.  "It is such a fun film and it is a fun day, and we just wanted to have some fun," Kidman told The Australian newspaper . "It's one of my favorite movies. We decided to do something that was fun and a bit different." I absolutely love her outfit.  Where better to rock the Eliza Doolittle but at a horse race.  I just hope she yelled (in a cockney accent), "Move Your Bloody Ass!"  I think the hat needed to be a bit more elaborate but hey she still rocked it. What do you think of the outfit?  Don...

Click HERE to visit Adventures of Newlyweds and link up! Okay so I've seen several bloggers do this so today is my very first one.... Dear Friday, Thank you for FINALLY arriving!  I haven't missed you this much since LAST Friday! Dear Starbucks, Thank you for brightening my afternoon with my my first "red" cup.  However, I have a little bone to pick - why no more free soy for registered card users?  I mean you give out like EVERY kind of cow milk for free??   Dear Halloween Candy, You are evil ... why won't you die?  GO AWAY!!! Dear Neighbor, Now that Halloween is over you can take down your ghetto Halloween decorations.... trash bags in trees do not yield ghost decorations ... especially when you don't cut the red pull tie out! (Okay you can't see from the cell phone pic but trust me they don't look good in person!!) Dear Debra, I know I am the best sister and Auntie in the entire world for suggesting you...

It's that time of the week don't forget to link up with  Amber  &  Neely!! It's okay ... ~ that I hate listening to one of my loud coworkers on her PERSONAL calls that I plug into my ipod on shuffle and nothing but 80s Madonna shuffles along.  What can I say ... there are a LOT of Madonna songs on this thing! ~ that I think these are the cutest trick-or-treaters EVER! ~ that I seriously am having a hard time crawling out of bed when it is 55 outside.  I know - I am telling myself the same thing - 55!  Try -5!  Seriously though ... will I be able to adjust if Paul and I move out of Florida?  Also, since we live in Florida this time of year is when the electric bill goes down because you don't have to use the A/C.  So it's like a game at our house - how long can Shia go before caving and turning on the heat.  Last year I had to draw the line at 65 inside.  Since when we do run the AC we keep it at 75, I say 65 i...

As if getting married wasn't the highlight of my trip, I finally got to go to LUSH! I went to the one in Portland in the super hip and cool area of NW 23rd Ave. Here's the stuff I bought ... Trichomania - Solid Shampoo LUSH WEBSITE LISTED FEATURES: · Encourage better behavior: Perfect for gaining control of dry, curly, and frizzy hair once again.  · Coconut crazy: We love the way that creamed coconut gives moisture to dry, out of condition hair.  · Calming vetivert: Your frazzled hair and mind will thank you for using our solid shampoo made with vetivert oil. SHIA'S THOUGHTS: Let me first say that this and the solid conditioner were the two items I was super excited to try, also, knowing that I was visiting Lush early on in our trip, I packed minimal shampoo and conditioner.  With that said, I just have to be honest.  This stuff is HORRIBLE!  Luckily I didn't use this until AFTER the wedding.  It doesn't really soa...

Okay so I just did this fab post about my first trip to Lush and now the post is GONE!  What the heck? Anyone having issues with Blogger today or is it just me?
