Cousin in England has some really cute clothes

My cousin that lives in England came for a visit and I swear she has some of the cutest clothes I have seen in a long time.  You know how us girls are about clothes.  We had a blast going through each others clothes and sharing them just like we used to do when we were teenagers.  Luckily we are still the same size just like always so I got the pleasure of wearing some of her clothes.  I had to ask where they came from so she got on my computer and brought up Plus Size Clothing where she shops for most of her clothes.

No neither of us are what you would call ‘large ladies’ but we are built a bit large with broad shoulders so plus size clothes fit our shoulders and body type better than other sizes.  The ‘Homespun’ collection is my favorite.  It’s sort of like back in the 70’s type styles and I love those style of clothes.  They’re comfortable and have a ‘free’ look to them if that makes any sense to you.  The ‘Bohemian’ collection is perfect for an evening out or for work too.  My cousin and I have the same taste in clothes so she let me purchase some of her clothes and she’ll buy them again for herself when she gets back home.  I really need to learn how to convert their money into ours so I can buy from their site too.

The IRS does not email you so beware!!!!

Do not fall for this.  The internal Revenue Service does not email you even if you have e-filed your taxes.  It’s just a scam and they’re trying to steel your identity.  I got this in my email and now I’m scrambling to make sure I didn’t mess up by not realizing this was a scam.

Sorry blonds, I just couldn’t resist!!

I just heard the funniest blond joke I’ve heard in a long time and had to share it with you.  I don’t know why they pick on blonds like they do because I know some very intelligent blonds and some brunettes that are dingy so  I guess it could be any color of hair but the joke is still funny!!

Blond and this could be me ..because I think it could really work!!!

Yesterday I had a flat tire on the interstate. So I ease my car over to the shoulder of the road, carefully, get out of the car and open the trunk. I took out two cardboard men, unfolded them and stood them at the rear of my car facing oncoming traffic.

They look so lifelike you wouldn’t believe it! They are in trench coats exposing their nude bodies and private parts to the approaching drivers..

To my surprise, cars start slowing down looking at my lifelike men. And of course, traffic starts backing up. Everybody is tooting their horns and waving like crazy.

It wasn’t long before a state trooper pulls up behind me. He gets out of his car and starts walking toward me. I could tell he was not a happy camper!

“What’s going on here?”

“My car has a flat tire,” I said calmly.

“Well, what the hell are those obscene cardboard men doing here by the road?”

I couldn’t believe that he didn’t know. So I told him, “Hellooooo, those are my emergency flashers!”

Mom’s treating us girls to a spa treatment in NY

My mother is really going all out with herself and including us girls too.  She’s been doing a lot of redecorating and remodeling and now is thinking about doing a little upkeep on herself.  This time, she has decided to make it a family thing.  She just called each of us and told us that she’s treating us to a trip to New York for a laser hair removal holiday and shopping spree. She said that she was checking out some places online and came across this site.  This place uses state of the art technology and a highly skilled cosmetic staff and provide permanent hair removal solutions to thousands of satisfied customers in each of their modern clinics. You can even contact them today to schedule a Free complimentary test patch and receive a price quote.

Mom must have liked the price quote they gave her because she went ahead and scheduled appointments for all of us for next Friday.  We will all have the treatment and then get the whole weekend with Mom in New York City.  We used to go there at least once a year for different shopping excursions or spa treatments.  It’s Mom’s way of still spoiling us and she does a great job of it.

My friend is so very into this game

I have a friend that is so very into this game called world of warcraft battle chest that it’s his main form of entertainment.  I personally don’t get into games but he sure does.  In fact, he’s always playing battle chest it seems.  To each his own I guess.  But he’s been looking for a wow cdkey and I found where he can get one online a lot cheaper than he’s been able to find.  Now I am his new best friend.

Speaking of security

Since we are talking of security, I had suggested Mom get a dog for protection.  Well I got some pictures of some poodles that were in an ‘Extreme Grooming’ contest.  After seeing these, I’m not so sure they would provide much security other than making the intruder laugh and therefore incapacitating them until the police could get there.  See what I mean?

But now these two might provide some securtiy, don’t you think?  Maybe not!

New security system for Mom’s house

I’m surprised that Mom didn’t think of this earlier but she’s having a Home Security System installed in her home and at the beach house too.  Since she lives alone now and is having a lot of work done around the house, she decided it might not be such a bad idea to have a little more security around the house.  Dad was the security system before but now that he’s gone, I think it’s a great idea.

She’s decided to go with an ADT security system.  They really do provide great security to home owners as and are considered to be the # 1 home security system.  That tells me that they’re doing something right them.  If not, they sure wouldn’t be considered #1, right?  They also provide security to a lot of the Fortune 500 businesses too.

I know I’ll sleep a lot better knowing that Mom has a good Security System watching over her.  In fact, I just might have one put in my home too.  You just can’t be too careful these days, especially if you live alone.

Looks like Mom’s remodeling more than the house

Like I have been telling you, Mom is doing a lot of new things to the house like new blinds, new furniture and even some remodeling of the beach house.  Well it seems that she’s even doing a little remodeling of herself too.  She started complaining about having some discoloration on her face.  I guess you would call them age spots and she’s not liking what she’s seeing.  Daddy was always telling her how beautiful she is and now all she gets to hear is how she thinks she looks and she’s starting to think she looks old.  I think she looks great for her age but when I said that, she didn’t appreciate it.

Next thing I know, I find Obagi Clear in her bathroom cabinet. No I wasn’t snooping, I was looking for a bandage. In wanting to make sure my mother had bought a good product, I decided to check it out. She couldn’t have gotten a better product after what I read. It’s clear so you don’t look ‘made up’ when you put it on or chalky like some creams and it is a prescription products for fighting wrinkles and age spots.  I also saw where they will send you a free gift on orders over $60.  Mom did good when she found this product.  In fact, she’s looking younger already.

I just couldn’t resist!!!

I heard the cutest joke yesterday.  Now before I put it in this post, let me explain that I have a family member that is a Priest so please no hateful comments, deal?  Anyway with that said, here it is:

A little boy got on the bus, sat next to a man reading a book, and noticed he had his collar on backwards.                                                              The little boy asked why he wore his collar backwards.

The man, who was a priest, said, ‘I am a Father.’

The little boy replied, ‘My Daddy doesn’t wear his collar like that.’

The priest looked up from his book and answered, ”I am the Father of many.’

The boy said, ”My Dad has 4 boys, 4 girls and two grandchildren and he doesn’t wear his collar that way!’

The priest, getting impatient, said ‘I am the Father of hundreds’, and went back to reading his book.

The little boy sat quietly thinking for a while, then leaned over and said,                                                                                                                              ‘Maybe you should wear a condom and put your pants on backwards instead of your collar.’
