Hollywood Fashion 101

Blogger World, I'm going to declare today's post as a public service announcement. The picture to the left was found on People.com. I check it daily; sad, but true. When I saw this picture I thought to myself...GOOD LORD WHAT IS SHE WEARING! I know the citizens of Hollywood think they are above everyone else on earth, and I know they think they can wear whatever, whenever they want. I have one word for you- Lady Gaga. Ok, so maybe that's two words, but you get what I'm saying.
Now for the public service part....
Folks, this outfit is not good. It is not fashionable. It is not flattering. Actually, it's the ugliest thing I have ever seen, and I read a lot of People. com and US Magazine.com. My eyes have browsed lots of Hollywood gossip crap. I may not be Rachel Zoe, but good grief I can recognize an ugly outfit. SO the moral of this post- DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT wear tie dye leggings with a vest. I don't care what you think, it does not look good. On behalf of This is my world, I thank you for listening.

They have arrived!

Yesterday I was rooming the isles of Target, while drinking my Nonfat Chai, when I found these wonderful cookies. SIDENOTE: Why is it when I enter Target I feel the need for a Starbucks drink? I do not need a $3 Chai to help me buy apples and toilet paper. Actually, I find myself wanting to buy groceries at Target, because I know I can buy myself one of those stupid drinks! This is just another example of why I think Starbucks puts crack in their drinks.
ANYWAY, back at me rooming the isles at Target. I was killing time at Target when I found Tim Tams. I was SO excited. I immediately picked up 2 packages; one of me and one for my parents. My mom is a big fan of Tim Tams. I highly recommend that EVERYONE try these wonderful cookies. If you cannot find them in your Target let me know, I'll send you some. I'm being for real, I feel that strongly about the cookies.

Happy Birthday Sister #1

Friday was Sister #1's birthday! She turned the big 2-6!!! This is where I could crack a funny joke about how she's almost 30. But since I'm older and almost 30, we'll just obmit the funny joke.

Last year I wrote Sister #1 a Birthday Dedication. If you remember I mentioned she's cooler than me. This year she proved that not only is she still cooler than me, she is also the best person I know. You see, Sister #1 spent her birthday driving to Land of the Hogs for our Papaw's funeral. When we arrived (after 6 hours of driving) to Land of the Hogs, she was fed a cold turkey sandwich and rushed off to get ready for the funeral viewing. She received no birthday cake, no singing, nothing. All around I'd say she had a pretty crappy bday. However, Sister #1 never said anything, which is excepted because she's a rock star. But I hope she knows she was around people that love her and realize how cool she really is! And if there was ever any question, she proved her coolness this weekend. Sister #1, Happy Birthday! Thanks for admitting that you are related to me!

My family is cooler than yours

My aunt is making a video of my Pappaw's life, and asked everyone for pictures. This morning, my mom sent me pictures to forward to my aunt. Don't even ask why my mom couldn't just forward them herself. But two of the pictures made me laugh. I just love awesome 80s pictures.

Let's examine Picture #1....
My favorite part of this picture is the teenage boy in the background, that would be my Uncle Fred; or now called Uncle Taylor. I refuse to call him Taylor, because for about 10 years of my life he was called Fred. Anyway, I just love how he is sitting on the porch acting cool. What you don't know is he's waiting. He is waiting for my Mammaw and Pappaw to let go of Sister #1 and I. He's planning his next attack of torture, which I'm sure ended with me crying and tattling on him. Oh don't feel sorry for him, when Fred turned 16 he realized that kids are chicks magnets. His last two years of High School, he pimped us out so he could pick up chicks! Moving on to Picture #2...

Awww what a sweet picture. Isn't Sister #1 the cutest thing ever? To be honest Sister #1 and Sister #2 were the cutest kiddos ever. I don't know what the heck happened to me? I kid, I kid. Do you not love the wooden walls in the background. Awesome!
In this picture I want to point out my face. I would be the older kiddo in this picture, the one with the pushed down socks. I'm pretty sure my mom dressed me that day. But look at my eyes, the side look. Yup, I guarantee you that my Uncle Fred or my Uncle Bobby Don were doing something bad or funny off to the side. As you can see from my Mammaw's face, she caught whatever they were doing and wasn't impressed. See, Fred and Bobby Don taught Sister #1 and I bad things when we were young, or they would just be really mean to us. For instance, one time my Uncle Bobby Don introduced Sister #1, The Cousin, and I to a fun game. It was called chase hubcaps on all the passing cars. When you are 5, that sounded really fun. My mom was not thrilled when I told her about the new game. Next picture....

Now reading this you might think, wow it sounds like this family is really dysfunctional. Not true. My family has our ups and downs but for such a large family, we actually get along.
Obviously, this isn't a fun 80s picture. This is a picture of my dad, his brothers and dad, my Pappaw. The tall guy in the light blue shirt, that's Uncle Fred. See, he didn't turn out so bad? The guy that looks like he's been living in the tanning bed too long, that's Uncle Bobby Don. He still looks like trouble! I'm kidding....

Stay Classy Country

Last night I ditched church to clean my house and watch the CMAs. Shhhh, don't tell the Church of Christ police. Normally I forget about watching the CMAs. However, this year I remembered, and decided it would be good entertainment while I vacuumed- and it was. Pure, clean entertainment. I must say, the Country Music World has some classy people. Not only are they classy, they are hot! Allow me to introduce you to Motivation #1 ...

I'm not too proud to admit that after Carrie sang her song, I got on to the floor and did a 100 crunches. I'm also not too proud to admit that Carrie motivated me to run this AM. Hey, whatever works!

A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.

The Food Lady

Blogger World, let's discuss The Food Lady in my office. If you are not familiar with The Food Lady please feel free to review this post, and this post, and this post. For those of you who are too lazy to review the posts I recommended, The Food Lady is a coworker who brings food to the office. The following items are the goodies she has brought for her fellow coworkers....
Homemade pies
Brownies
Homemade cakes
Random (on sale) baked goods from Target
Halloween candy- that's expired
Candy in general
Amish Bread
Bread with Butter

I've come to this conclusion, The Food Lady is trying to make us all fat. I'm not joking. I've gained 5lbs from this woman. I refuse to buy new clothes because of her dang cakes and Amish Breads! I refuse. I know the Black and White Store would love to see me walk through their doors, but shopping when you've GAINED weight is not fun. It's depressing. It always puts me in a bad mood, which then makes me an unpleasant person. It's a big ugly cycle.

Since Halloween is officially over, my candy bucket should be chocolate free. I should not have Snickers, Twix, Hersey's, or any other chocolate product sitting in my candy bucket. Not the case. For the past week, The Food Lady has been bringing me large candy bags. The other day she brought me two different bags of crap. I swear if she brings me a candy bag today, I'm shoving it up her butt! I know, that's a mean statement. However, folks, I can't gain anymore weight. My butt is starting to jiggle when I run! This cannot happen!!!!
