Very brief blog post tonight, since it’s really late and I have to work tomorrow, but haven’t posted anything for quite awhile!
I saw this photo a week or so ago and think it’s amazing, and really beautiful, but it’s definitely not something I would ever do to my own body.

Yep. This is exactly what it looks like Every character in Snow White & the Seven Dwarves, tattooed on a woman’s back! Whoa!
I don’t have any tattoos but am extremely tempted and may well get one in the future, if I can bring myself to commit to where I would like it (I’m fairly sure I know the "what"), and if it turns out to be medically safe for me to do. :)
So, a couple of questions…since I’m super nosey…
- What do you think of this tattoo? Awesome, or hideous?
- Any tattoos on you? Any planned?
Also, for those of you who are wondering, chemo went fine on Friday (although recently I have noticed I have gained a bit of weight – #grump), and photos of the wedding on Saturday will be coming shortly, possibly via a link from their photographer’s site once he uploads them. :)

I am currently trying to decide on a dress for the wedding of a good friend from high school. Thanks to Ezibuy, I have managed to narrow it down to four possibilities, but now can’t choose between them!
Size wise, I am a 12 – 14, which is not slim, but not plus sized either. I am 5"5′ tall and haven’t decided whether I will wear heels or not yet.
These are the four I am considering. If I decided on the first one, it would be in a dark grey/blue colour rather than red.
To be honest, I am leaning quite heavily towards one, but figured I would ask for some more opinions just to see whether I’m crazy or not.

So, what say you, stylish and fashionable readers….?!

A momentous event took place this evening.
I think I have officially found THE BEST teaching resource in the whole world – especially if I end up with a class of students who are 10+, since younger ones might be too young to appreciate this.
Without further ado, I present to you…

Yep. An Alot. This lovely hairy beast is a demonstration for why "alot" is not the same as "a lot". The space is vital. This mistake drives me insane, so I was delighted to find this hilarious (and child-appropriate) example for what we all ought to think of when we hear people use "alot" as a word! Ha!
Hypebole and a Half, I LOVE YOU (A LOT!). You are the GREATEST WEBSITE EVER.
Readers, if you have not yet discovered the genius which is Allie Brosh and her cartoons, I suggest you go and do so immediately, beginning with the rest of the post about the Alot! Go! Right now!
Once you’ve done that, may I also recommend…
♥ This is Why I’ll Never be an Adult
♥ Spiders are Scary. It’s Okay to be Afraid of Them.
♥ Sneaky Hate Spiral
What grammatical error or spelling mistake drives you insane?
Seriously. You better have some…otherwise it’s just me, and THAT wouldn’t be cool…?!
