Work, work, work

Today is my "monday" and so I am back at work at the baby boutique I own here in Vancouver.
Boomba Toomba, which is a silly nickname for my son, is what consumes my work week.
Sadly, this is a rough economy and I don't really make any money owning a brick and mortar shop, so I sell on ETSY to make spending money, a.k.a. money that goes to bills.

I should actually get some work done today, so I am off. I will however, leave you with an image of my hair du jour, whilst sitting at my desk at work. I am queen of the working slackers.
Sorry for the cruddy webcam quality, and the wonderful flourecent lighting we have in the shop.
I hope you all are enjoying your work week, or week off, how ever it may be.

My Husband Calls Me a Crazy Lady

My son held his very 3rd birthday party on sunday. Like any self respecting mother I was running around frantic tying together loose ends all the way up til the first guest showed up.

Leave it to me to wait til the day of to bake a cake and set my hair! Oh what was I thinking?

In between making pasta salad, frosting a 2 layer cake, and trying to drink a cup of coffee, I was parked under my bonnet dryer desperately trying to get my curls to set, which as you can tell by pictures did not work. I ended up with Faux bangs and rolls, with pigtails.

I tell you ladies, don't procrastinate on birthday parties, it ends with un-curled hair!

So I present to you my "daily outfit" complete with apron and sponge rollers:

I forgot to share that Miss Rosina Lee presented me with a Blog Award! So here you have it darlings, someone out there things that I have "One Lovely Blog"

Tidal Wave

Upon becoming a blonde woman, I find myself very cartoon-ish.
Actually, if you know me in real life you know I am quite silly, and I am often not too serious.
Sometimes I find myself with the strangest hair-do's because of this.
My husband hates when I have a "cartoon" hairstyle, but for the sake of only living once, I dont try to correct these hair mistakes:
This was the other day, and sadly, the original attempt for this hair was a forward roll Faux Bangs sort of deal, and after much cussing and brush throwing, this is how I left the house.
To add to the silly party, my son was showing me his pin-up face! Too comical!

Confessions of an Irish Catholic?

Here is a quick sampling of my St. Patty's day outfit.
Its not really anything too fancy, as I had to work all day.
The Blouse is the green blouse I made a few months back.
The Skirt is the beautiful black 6 gore skirt I ordered a week ago.

I made sure to top the outfit off with victory rolls, seamed stockings (with a run, argh!) and my favorite pair of shoes..
My black I. Miller peep toe sling backs.

Hope you had a lovely green day too!
