Deceitful Sun

 I saw a butterfly today when I was walking Charlie! Do you see it? It was enormous, perhaps the largest butterfly I've ever seen. Good thing I had my trusty camera ready to snap snap away. Today was a beautiful day of quintessential San Diego cloudless blue skies after the storming and hailing and ridiculousness of yesterday's weather. Although it looked warm and inviting outside, IT WAS COLD!


Shortly after I took these photos, I changed out of the skirt into woolly mammoth leggings. Okay, so really I just put on my sweatpants because my woolly mammoth leggings are at the dry cleaners. Too bad I don't have two pairs. I am really kicking myself in the head for not buying the pair below when it came out last season.

I did a 45 minute workout on my new workout app yesterday (which is more than I did all last year), and today my thighs are in agony. I start crying just at the sight of stairs.

Hello Down There!




I know these are dark. But I'm still at my desk at work so that's all I got. 

Bored at work

It's only 10:30 am and I'm already bored at work. I had a meeting until 9:30 so technically I've only been at my desk for an hour. It may be a long day, OR it could be an extremely short one and I take off ridiculously early! Sadly, I think it will be the former. Tonight B and I (and J too!) are going to go to Urban Solace for some duckaroni! It'll probably be raining by tonight which in San Diego is a complete anomaly, and therefore people will be traumatized and instantly forget how to drive.
I wore red pants on Wednesday.

Nasty Filthy Home

Have you ever had dreams of covering your walls with designs by the names of "Slits 'N' Tits" "Dick Picnic" "Labia Labyrinth" or since minimalism is in this season, just "Simple Dick"? If your answer were "Yes, Yes, Yes, and Oh Yes" then I have the perfect site for you! Feast your reproductive organs on...http://filthyhome.myshopify.com/!
I have to admit these patterns are quite aesthetically pleasing and don't at all look like nasty filthy sex organs from a distance at all! I think simple dick is my favorite. I feel like it's something Cupcakes and Cashmere would like! Anyone brave enough to put this up in their house? 

Snowme

As you all know, I went snowboarding two weeks ago in Salt Lake City, UT. All was swell, and I was a snowboarding MASTER until the last day, when I inadvertently became a snowman or snowoman (snowwoman? snow-woman? snow-wowwowow-woman!). After tumbling in snow on my ass, my face, my back, my hands, snow down my chest, snow in my shirt, in my goggles... you get the picture. I broke down in tears and angrily stomped down the mountain, venomous board of evil in hand. Luckily, B was mostly patient with the pouty, petulant version of myself. We survived two more baby runs until my spirits were mildly recovered, and I was content to give up for the day. I don't think I even burnt that many calories. SUBTERFUGE!
Anyhow, here are some photos I managed to snap before my bones and ego were completely pulverized.


This is the part where the snowboarder breaks his/her dominant leg because the snowboard is viciously susceptible to the knee-wrenching effects of gravity. 
Here I am clutching the Board of Demise. It looks harmless enough, but you should know that my smile is completely fake! EVIL. Oh, that's my sister, Denise (which is spelled a lot like demise. Coincidence? I THINK NOT!)

Long lost

Some old photos from January before I went to New York, but I was in such a hullabaloo that I had completely forgot about them until I organized today. I have only worn my little furry leopard coat two or three times this season because I just feel silly parading around in enormous faux fur. This isn't New York girl! You can't wear whatever the hell you want unless your name is Rumi Neely and you just won best personal blog award. Is that me? Oh wait, no! 
Good news is that last night, I did 15 minutes of absercise! In addition, I also got semi-dressed today. Looks like this sloth is still not showing her true colors. I'm currently watching ANTM as I type this, and although I'm already annoyed I just can't stop! Some girl just said "I have natural swag." Obviously I don't because I don't even know what that means. Y'all don't know me, but I don't swag. 

From Me to B

Angry Birds! Who doesn't love angry birds? 

WOWOW HAPPY DAY

AM I THE ONLY ONE SUPER EXCITED ABOUT THIS? This further confirms my love for Amazon and it's free-shipping-tax-free ways.

Inspire

I find it beautiful that the word inspire means both to influence and to inhale. Here is my inspiration today.
I am going to attempt to put more effort into my life this week: as in my appearance, my work, my health. NO PROMISES THOUGH. If I return to my sloth ways after a mere few hours, I don't want any accusatory fingers wagging in my face. A sloth has got to start somewhere, and cannot be expected under any circumstances to transform into a lioness overnight. This is just wishful thinking that I'm semi-concretizing by telling you all about the fleeting thoughts that flutter through my mind as I sit at my desk.
By the way, this is what I accomplished at work today:
An excellent start to a productive week!

Glory Days

Going to Vegas this weekend for a friend's birthday and her designated theme is 1930's. After doing a little research, I have decided that what she really wants is actually old Hollywood glamour. The days of Greta Garbo, Katherine Hepburn, and Judy Garland. The days of furs, curls, and pearls. Red lipstick and body grazing gowns ruled the red carpet.
If I were to translate that to modern times, I would reference Anne Hathaway and Kate Bosworth.
And then... I found this!
Diane Kruger! So beautiful and undoubtedly glamorous! I must find a way to somehow channel this into something to wear to a Vegas birthday party, but I only have 3 days to do it!

Loading Dye

I have always liked the way dyes parachute into intricate balloons when they are dropped into water. This is my favorite part about loading a gel (lab colleagues, you know what I mean).
