Fashion Trends I can't keep up with

I'm slow to catch on to new fashion trends.
In other words, I'm not really a trend-setter.



Not at all.




I never had my haircut like Jennifer Aniston on Friends.






I wasn't sure I liked Uggs at first...and now I think they're adorable.





Although, I admit, I wear knock-offs.








I haven't bought any Ballet Flats yet
because I'm afraid my feet will look stupid in them.
But I do think they're cute.









I hated Crocs on site,
but eventually gave in to get some for my sons...
but I still haven't bought myself any.
Although now I think they're ok.






And I can't stand Jeggings.
But they might grow on me.










I just stopped using scrunchies a year ago...




What does that say about me?

Am I hopeless?!!

 

What trends do you enjoy?
Or hate?

3 Unique Gift Ideas

It's amazing what people come up with.
I really admire ingenuity.



My co-worker showed up this morning with a USB Humping Dog.





Only $14.95 plus shipping and handling.
It's hilarious.
And when you plug it in...it moves.
Disturbing.
But funny.





Next, I saw tweet from Kara about underwear that offers you privacy from the body scanners.
They're called Brief Blockers.

Sorry Uncle TSA.









They have them for men as well...
and they act as a radiation shield in addition to shielding your privates.





Finally, the third Unique gift is the Ultimate Football Accessory for Ladies. 
And I may just have to get one for my son's middle school team colors.







I love finding Unique gift ideas.  
Anything wacky out there that's you've discovered?

I'm thankful the Pilgrims destroyed all the Dinosaurs

We celebrate Thanksgiving because it's the day the Pilgrims destroyed the Dinosaurs, right?








I for one am super thankful they got rid of the dinosaurs, 
because can you imagine what Earth would be like with those big, ole smelly things running around?!  
Not to mention, we wouldn't have gas without their dead bodies decomposing into fossil fuel and all.









I think the government has tried to keep it a big cover-up 
because the Pilgrims killed the dinosaurs 
with mega-awesome, super-futuristic technology that they hid in cornucopias, 
because the Pilgrims were really aliens sent to Earth rid the planet of dinos and Indians. 







Oh, and the Indians? 
The Alien Pilgrims ate them.  






And did you know that we figured out Santa was an Alien also?!

Haiku for Change





Change is dancing near.
I beckon it eagerly.
Take a chance on me.

Numbers on the Brain

My boys love numbers.




They are brilliant at math.

I wasn't really into math at their age.

Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy math when I was in college, but not really on the elementary level.

But, my boys, they love math.




They love it so much, that it's a blast to them to throw out math problems to each other in the car while I'm driving.

And they give me math problems to solve as well.

It drives me crazy after a while.

Because a lot of these you really need pen and paper to figure out.

But, I feel like it's my duty to show them that moms can do math, women are just as smart and that I can take whatever they throw at me.

Do you ever feel that way?
What do your kids discuss in the car?

It doesn't work right


Look at this door.


It's my door.


Does it look normal to you?

Perhaps.






Let's take a closer look...


if you try to open the door...






The handle falls off completely.

It's broken.






Am I really talking about a door handle?
You be the judge.

Tangled

Last night, the boys and I went to the DFW advanced screening of Disney's new movie, Tangled.
We drove over an hour to Hurst, Texas to the Rave Theater.




It was fabulous!!  And Hilarious!

I loved the fiesty Rapunzel.
She takes the charming bandit Flynn Rider hostage,
they join forces and have an adventure.





And we get an explanation as to WHY she's in the tower 
that's different than any I've heard or read before.  
And we understand why her hair is grown to such lengths.


 

OH, did I mention it was in 3D?
My boys enjoyed it!!









The Rave Theater was a neat venue.





Disney did NOT disappoint.


Tangled was AWESOME!!


A huge thank you to Fellowship of Fools for the free passes!!





 
Go see it!!


***I was not compensated for this review or asked to write a favorable post. I won the tickets and loved the movie all on my own and chose to write a post because I enjoyed it so much!!
