RnR @ TnT

I can't believe I forgot to share this here last week! Sometimes when I do my choreo, I find myself either making up a story or to go with it or I envision a specific locale or outfit. This one stemmed from the boy in the song being 17 (which at 36, I find hilarious). So as I describe to my class the imaginary scene at the bar (I chose the bar in Top Gun) trying to get the attention of this young pilot (let's call him Val Kilmer). My favorite joke is that even if there were 2 of them, I'd be older than their combined ages. ugh :)

But without further ado, here's your regularly scheduled program of cute butts clad in Victoria's Secret pants. Also, this dance is super fun.

ROWR!
What did you do to that poor cheetah?
Nice Leopard :)

It's kind of fun when an outfit solicits a bunch of comments, even if they're snarky. I recently got these boots in black and brown since my standard winter work outfit pretty much equals this look: skirt/tights/boots/hat. I have lots of hats and I like that, at least with long or longish hair, you can still have hairstyles (pony(ies), braid(s), down, up) and still keep your noggin warm. While I am comfortable in and like my winter dress code, I was just at the mall yesterday and it made me lust for the outfits of spring and summer (colors! dresses! no sleeves!). Until then however, I will cozy up in one of the best resale finds of all time. This Michael Kors jacket for $60. It's so soft, it's like wearing whipped cream.

Wordless Wednesday

Li.bar.y

I have a book club with a guy I met in a bar.  It's a guy John and I befriended and almost immediately, he and John deep dove into smart guy stuff and I had to go shop for shoes to avoid sitting there and smiling politely for hours.  However, after a couple times hanging out there and becoming FB friends, there was a time when he said something that made me bring him a book to read.  When he returned it, he brought one for me.  This weekend, I stopped by the bar after a FB message from him and asked "Did Nathan leave anything for me?"  Behind the bar are two books (the last one I gave him plus a new one for me) with a sticky note and my name on it.  I will read it and carefully select one for him, and send him a message when I've dropped them off at the bar with his name on them.  It's pretty fun.  I hope neither of us get a Kindle or stop drinking.

Minnow.

I've waited a long time to replace my beloved Zu, and when I was finally ready, it was the off season and there were some regulations limiting how many could be shipped in. I was told that I should expect to get a call around March, but it cam a bit early! I was hoping to get a small one so that I could have the same bonding as I did with Zu. My rule with minnows is that you have to live a week before you get your name. Baby Ahzi has been eating worms like a champ since last Saturday. The little swimmer starts out the size of my pinkie, but I look forward to little buddy growing into a delightful big fish and being my pal for many years.

Aloha, Maui

I am probably going to be a light poster this week because we have our big Sales Kick-Off. That means a week of meetings and events and general business-y shenanigans. But to appropriately wrap up our Maui trip, here's our last night of fun in the sun(set).

Sand raft!

?? :)

Thanks Maui, we had a blast!

until next time, lovely beach.

Fashion Friday

On the second or third day we were in Maui, we woke up to a very rainy day. While the prospect of sitting in the open air bar all day and watching it was kind of appealing, we decided to make an adventure out of it and drive around West Maui. It was a beautiful drive. We were an hour or so into it when the road narrowed. and narrowed... and narrowed....

There were some pretty sketchy corners and thankfully the only traffic coming from the other way occurred when there was an extra couple inches and allowed us to get around each other without backing up. In some places, that would have been the only solution. After our spring adventure, we were both a little nervous.

After we made it safely back to town, we cleaned up and headed out for a drink. I have had this dress for years and although I don't wear it often, I absolutely adore it. Adding the hair flower made it perfect for happy hour in Maui.

After happy hour, we took a drive out through the sugar cane fields.. It was still a bit windy :)
