Early Christmas Present

Blogger World I have an awesome Thanksgiving post for you, but sadly you will have to wait until tomorrow. Today, I received my first Christmas present, and I must post about my first Christmas present!

It's no secret that I get cold at work. I usually walk around the office wearing a fleece jacket that is four sizes too big. And the days I wear skirts, I always have my legs wrapped around my fleece blanket. I'm basically the office joke.

Today, I walked into my office to find an early Christmas present waiting for me. A Snuggie. The Food Lady, who I love again, bought me a Snuggie. It's not just a Plain Jane Snuggie, it's a fancy Snuggie. The Zebra print Snuggie. I love it! I love it so much I'm wearing it right now.

I'm thankful for....

Well, it's that time of year again, Thanksgiving. It's the time of year when people self evaluate and give thanks. In pure This is my world fashion, I present you with my Thankful List.

1. Family. Of course, my family is number 1 on the list. We are one big happy family! We love each other and we enjoy being around each other. We only drive each other nuts part of the time. Kidding.
2. Northwest Airlines. Heck ya I'm thankful for these people! I'm thankful for Northwest getting me safely to and from my destinations. Also, if everything goes to plan this summer, they will give me a free airplane ticket.
3. Starbucks. I'm still thankful for my Starbucks Friends. Blogger World, I think it would be easier if I let you know when this changes. As long as they keep producing great Nonfat Chai, we'll be friends forever.
4. Apples. Lately, I've found a deep love for apples. They are cheap and tasty. Also, there are so many different apples out there, I never get tired of eating them! FYI- I think Target has the best apples.

So there you have it, my Thankful List. I hope everyone has a wonder Thanksgiving. By the way Blogger World, I am very thankful for you too! Thank you for allowing me to blog stalk you.

Lookin' Good OK Chick, Lookin' Good


It's not often I own clothes, accessories, or shoes that famous people are currently wearing. Ok, let me rephrase that statement. I NEVER own clothes, accessories or shoes that famous people wear. NEVER. So you can understand my surprise when I noticed super cute actress Reese Witherspoon was caught wearing shoes that I recently purchased. Please notice Reese's shoes. I even drew a jacked up arrow for you guys. Yes, I am fully aware it's a bad arrow, but I'm not good at the whole editing pictures thing. Deal with it.

A month ago I purchased these shoes at Payless. I paid $7 for the comfy shoes, which is a great bargain. Blogger World for today, we are going to pretend that Reese bought her shoes at Payless too! Isn't it fun to play in pretend world? Shhhh I don't want to hear about her shoes being Ugg or some other ridiculously expensive brand. Shhh...today they are from Payless.

Adventures in Redbox

A few months ago I wanted to rent a movie. It was a Friday night, I had no life, and nothing was on TV. If you ask me, components for a movie rental night. Upon renting my movie at Blockbuster, I was informed that it was going to cost $5 to rent the movie. FIVE DOLLARS! Folks, I was renting 17 Again. I was 100% sure 17 Again was not going to be worth $5! But since it was a Friday night, I had no life, and nothing was on TV- I chalked up the $5 for 17 Again. Oh and by the way, 17 Again is not worth $5!

Ok, so fast forward to Friday night. I decided to rent a movie for the evening. Since Blockbuster has decided to start charging an arm and leg for renting movies, my only option was Redbox. It was my first time to experience the Redbox. The experience went like this:

I arrived at Walgreens to check out a movie. I waited patiently in line for my turn. While in line, I watch the people in front of me so I would know the Redbox process. It was finally my turn, after 5 minutes of waiting. I approached the screen and touched it to start the movie deciding process. I looked over the first page of choices, none sparked my interest. Next page. Wait, how do you turn the page? I look for an arrow. Nope. I look for a button that says next, no luck. Heck, I even scan the screen with my finger like it's an iPhone, no luck and I looked stupid. I began to panic, people started forming a rather large line behind me. I turned to the woman behind me for help. She looks at me like I have three heads. Finally, a woman my mom's age ask if I needed help. Sheepishly I reply yes. She helped me find Ghost of Girlfriends Past. Please don't judge my movie selection.
After the work of finding a movie I was ready to go pay and leave! I punched the check out button with my finger. I tried to scan my credit card but Redbox would not except my card. I tried again, and again, and again. Finally, a rather good looking guy, from the back of the line, came to rescue me. He must have had the magic touch, because he was able to get my credit card to scan. I thanked him and went back to looking at the ground, or the screen, basically anywhere but this guys face. Did I mention I looked like death because I had just finished my 3 aerobics classes. Single ladies, never go to Redbox without applying make-up! NEVER! When my movie spit out, I quietly thanked the guy and I rushed away from Redbox machine.

All-in-all an ok Redbox experience. Ghost of Girlfriends Past was alright, but it was only a $1!

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.
