team momming.

I'm a professional team mom. I spectate and support and provide orange slices  like non other. 

A few weekends ago was the company picnic and volleyball tournament. 

The trash talk between the departments had been building for months previous. 

My department, the DLC, created an all star team and coined the slogan:

Dive Lunge Conquer. 

And boy did we. 

{Team mom and Carly}

{Karee bumpin it}

{Steve blockin it}

{Hope resting after a win with one of the personalized water bottles I made}

{the Champs, DLC}

And because we won, our department got a pizza party. We had the party last Friday. 23 pizzas and Space Jam on the projector, best work lunch ever. 

free?

nearly two months ago I ordered a swimsuit top from Vicky's. As I was checking out, I was asked if I wanted to open a Angel's card to pay for my purchase. I said,

Why yes I do. 

So the purchase was charged to my new card. A week later I got the top:

{imagine less curves, and less skin pigmentation}

Last week I realized that I never got the Angel card in the mail. And I just checked, it was charged to my VS account. Only problem is I can't log into my VS account with my Angel card number. So until I call them up,

 free swimsuit?

1950s.

The 1940s & 50s were such a classy era when it comes to fashion. Everything was very clean cut and simple making any woman elegant. I wish I had a full wardrobe of cocktail dress from this era. 

So far I have two. 

The first I got from a vintage store in London. It still needs a little work, a stitch here and there. 

Eventually I'll make a petticoat and bolero for it and pray I have somewhere to wear it to. But I couldn't wait and I wore it to a Halloween party last year:

Don't mind Kesha. It's tea length and I think, has great potential. 

The other vintage dress I have I got at a thrift store in downtown Olympia, WA for forty bucks. It fit too well to pass it up. I debuted this dress last night at a wedding. Who cares if the was a tad too overdressed?

I smiled real big for you.  This dress has pretty gold lamé  flowers on it and oops looks like it seriously needs to be pressed. Funny story, after the wedding Mike and I went over to some friends' and played poker, felt a little James Bond-ish. 

nyc.

I finally went to the big apple. It's always been at the top of my list. 

And it did not disappoint.

That trip solidified that I am a city slicker. 

Bright lights, places to go, things to eat and people to see, 

whilst surrounded by excellent architecture. 

I don't have to live in New York, but I would like to be somewhere with its essence. 

It most definitely doesn't even have to be in America. 

Now I just need to be whisked away.

the Last day.

As we all know, today is the day of the rapture. Its been a pretty good day thus far, and there's still a few hours to spare till *fingers crossed* I get caught up. 

I arose around 9, meandered around and got ready for the day. 

I did my hair is this great up do, I'm pretty proud.

It's a pretty day. 

I went to the museum and worked on the website. 

Then I picked up Monica and we went to the new crepe shop in Provo. 

Tip of my hat to them. 

We had a delicious ham and cheese crepe, it came with a shot of tomato basil soup to dip it in. 

Delish. 

Then I had a hankering for some bowling. 

Worst bowling ever. It was very obvious that I haven't gone in a long time. 

Monica had fun though:

[striked!]

[finger guns!]

stuff I do while getting paid.

Today at work, my boss Steve, who's three sided cubicle is adjacent to mine, popped his head around the corner to drop some knowledge. 

He frequently listens to the podcast Stuff You Should Know and shared his recent listen all about

Decapitation.

[Judith Slaying Holofernes By Artemisa  Gentileschi]

[I always thought this painting was fantastic, look at the blood spurts]

[Never scorn a lady]

[I have to admit I had to consult my giant art anthology for the name]

[You just got Art Historyed]

It lead to a two part argument, as in we debated for twenty minutes in the morning and revisited in the afternoon., about whether the unlucky soul, who's head is no longer attached, remains conscious until the residual blood and oxygen drains . 

I find it all to be quite fascinating and have since brought it up with two others. 

I like to confab about strange things and thanks to my boss, I can get paid to do so.
