Hump Day Distractions

Can you even handle this cuteness!?

I've been looking forward to this post all week because not to over-hype, but I've got some seriously awesome internet gems to share with you!! So let's not dawdle, let's get to the distracting!

* As a glasses wearer, NYC enthusiast and admirer of creative people's work... I love THESE.

* Looks like Sis got it right with the whole Dentist thing... 

* When moms send texts. 

* Theme of today.

* I didn't even know that it was happening but given my full blown OBSESSION with Wet Hot American Summer, I'll be seeing this movie asap.

* 8 interesting facts about Rose wine.

* I want to say my friends and I would never have done something like this, but... Poor kid.

* Must return to Morocco. Must go to HERE.

* As a collector of cards for every occasion, this is a great roundup to have on hand. 

* Way to go Barbie (and way to go Mattel!)

* This banned commercial is so freakin funny. 

* And finally, this guy is my hero... for how he handled the whole ordeal, how he managed to get it on film, how he endured that death stare and how he celebrated his victory. Way to go guy!

On "losing" things.

Where could it be!?

I am currently missing one of my favorite long sleeve t-shirts. A "must purchase" item from the sale rack at the Ann Taylor Loft Outlet (I don't think you can find a more satisfyingly discounted product than that!) the shirt bares a large eyed cartoon owl wearing thick rimmed glasses, which happen to be made of black sequins. As far as Merry Meri t-shirts go, this one's a home run. Problem is it's missing, as in, several weeks and 1 wash have gone by and I can't find my bespectacled, sequin owl anywhere. And by "anywhere" I mean, the drawer where I sorta looked for it.

I seem to always be missing 1 beloved or vital article of clothing. For example, there was a period of several months last year when my black bra was completely MIA. For most of this past summer, a favorite cream tank top was "lost and gone forever". Except "forever" turned out to be "until I cleaned my closet and found it on the floor in the back" and MIA was actually just stashed in an old gym bag. The problem is, despite my facade of organization and tidiness, my closet, drawers and hamper are black holes of disorganization and I have this terrible habit when something goes missing of "looking" for it the way your Dad/Husband "looks" in the fridge and declares the mustard impossible to find (and all Mom/You do to find it is move the milk). Instead of launching a truly thorough search for my missing items, I tend to lift a few things, check a possible location or two and then just wait until it eventually turns up. For an owl t-shirt this is acceptable, for your black bra it's downright idiotic (refusing to purchase a new bra, I used a black strapless as my primary black bra for months). So now that I've taken the time to write a blog post about a missing object I'm not putting in the time to locate, join me in the wishful thinking that this weekend when I empty my hamper to do laundry, I magically locate my long lost owl T... because it just might be trapped at the bottom of my hamper, under the giant elephant stuffed animal I also "put away" by storing it in there (don't judge:)

Laugh with me.

This image has been cracking me up for over a week now. I saved it to my cell phone and have text messaged it to at least a half dozen people. When I look at it, I cannot stop laughing... "THROW ANOTHER SHRIMP ON THE BARRRRRRBIE!!!!" HA!!!

hehe

Happy Friday Friends!
