Question

I love this…but I don’t think I’d do it!

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. :)

Calling all stylish bloggers!!

Clothes, Friends, Personal, Question / 18 Comments

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….?!

Alot of teaching resources!

Funny, Question / 8 Comments

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…?!
