HI friends! Happy Tuesday!!
Sorry I’ve been MIA for the past couple of days…despite all of my healthy eating attempts/working out efforts, I’ve had a bad cold for the past week or so with basically no voice, and no hearing ability in my right ear, which is super annoying.
Everyone keeps asking me if I went to the COLTS game on Sunday and screamed my voice away, which is irritating for two reasons: one, I’m reminded every 5 minutes that I have not, in fact, gone to a game at all this season, and two, I still sound like Lindsey Lohan attempting to sound like Marilyn Monroe. Not even my old friend, the Outback cheese fries, helped me feel better:
They photograph so beautifully. 🙂
So right now, I’m sitting on my couch watching American Idol and hoping this will cheer me up:
I’ve never tried this wine before, but officially decided it might be my favorite wine ever. This stuff is awesome. Maybe it’s solely because it’s called Cupcake. If so, kudos to you, marketing people.
So I was shopping (more like wistfully wandering) today at lunch, and I have to ask this burning question that has plagued me all afternoon. It involves this thing:
What are you looking at, you ask? Why, that strange flower-patterned garment is what’s referred to as a playsuit this season (I kid you not) due to some ill-fated attempt to make them look youthful and fun.
Before I make fun of this too much, however, I have to admit that I tried it on. And it did, in fact, look like the “playsuits” of yesteryear, like I wore back when I was five and walked my bike down the street instead of riding it because it was out of the question to actually ride that terrifying thing.
So anyway, the point of my posting on the playsuit is to ask your opinion on them. Is this thing cool? Is it flattering? Is it going to make me look like I’m wearing a tube top+CULOTTES made out of the same fabric for a 4-H sewing project? I need some help here.
Moving on to picture number 2 I snapped today while driving through the gray slush that has taken over the great state of Indiana:
Ok. I am the only one who finds this humorous? I’m not trying to be judgmental and/or snobby about Valentines Day, because I am aware that a fancy-pants dinner does not necessarily a happy V-day make. But White Castle, come on. RESERVATIONS? I’m just trying to help when I say that any boy who is reading this, PLEASE resist the urge to write down that number and proudly whip it out on Feb 13, in plenty of time to secure your coveted table. Your girlfriend will thank you.
I’ve got to get back to American Idol and watching Katy Perry stick it to these crazy contestants. LOVE her. Talk to you soon!
That White Castle sign is hilarious! Valentines… Really? Too funny!
Hope you feel better 🙂
That playsuit is just…ew!
White Castle reserrvations? HILARIOUS. And so pathetic
i know im kind of weird, but personally, i think i might really get a kick out of a White Castle Valentines Day dinner! Its kinda funny and makes for a pretty good story.
the playsuit…… YES! but, be careful, if not treated carefully, this could become a fashion misstep. haha. I really think you can pull it off though. Floppy straw hat, several long necklaces, bangly bracelets, or big sunnies….not all at once though!
Anyway, I think it could be really cute!
Sooo..funny story, we did the Valentines Reservation last year with the kids!! Haha, no laughing! They loved it!! They had tables all decked out and heart hamburgers..AT FIRST I called about it, because I was laughing when I read it..but I decided to try it, and it was kinda cute for the kiddos!!
Hmmm not really flattering on me, but I think they look cute on others!
I saw that sign today too! what the heck is that about!?
and cupcake wine is awesome! 🙂 and so is that dress!
Almost hump day!

Sorry you’re not feeling well! Hope it clears up soon!
Not sure about the playsuit – I think I’d have to see it on someone first. I can say with absolute certainty that it would look awful on me though.
I am laughing so hard about the White Castle billboard. We don’t have them in CT but I am sure it will be full for V-day!
I am also battling illness right now. Get better soon 🙂
Haha, I think that’s hilarious too!!!
HAHAHHAH that is hilarious that there are valentines day reservations at WHITE CASTLE. what the efffffffff? those cheesy fries look great

I can’t really pull off the rouching deal on the top of that playsuit, but I’m all about rompers!
The White Castle billboard is ridiculous! How funny!! Can you imagine the poor girl who’s boyfriend will take her there on Val’s Day?
Two of my favorite things in one post – Outback cheese fries and Cupcake cab. Mmm! Can we trade places? 😉
Haha, I have bought that wine, it is great marketing. I don’t really remember what it tasted like cause it was over my homecoming weekend… whoops! Maybe I’ll try it again 🙂
All I know is my disco party in February just got a TON easier to find a costume for! Hot pants and a tube top all in one? check and check. ;P
yumm… cheese fries…
I have yet to try the Cupcake wines. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Today happens to be wine day at the wine store I like. Hmmm…..
hahaha that is really funny!!!
I am not sure about the suites.. I don’t think I would wear one!
hahahaah I have never been to a white castle but its a burger joint right?? thats TOO FUNNY! you should send that into some website to be published!! mmm cupcake wine sounds great!
It is sad (the White Castle thing). I am not snotty about fast food joints (I love Taco Bell, no matter how much it is bashed in the blog world), but when my friend and I were taken to a McDonalds before a winter formal in college… well, I was not happy about it. There is a time for McDonalds and a time for a fancier place – I didn’t get a kick out of the formal wear at a fast food place 😛
The playsuit is all good! If you can wear it without looking like you have a bubblebutt in the bad way, do it for all the rest of us who can’t (because we’d look like we have bubblebutt in the bad way) 🙂
hahahha that is HILARIOUS w. white castle! how ROMANTIC. lol 🙂 thanks for your sweet comment! just getting caught up on ur blog..that pizza you made looks FAB!!
you’re hilarious! that wine is definitely great, and I don’t even love wine! that one is great for sipping on the couch with a great movie…ah, weekend, where did you go?
I called and made my reservation as soon as I saw that! I couldn’t risk not getting a table! 🙂
Hope you feel 100% better really soon!

hahaha you should have taken a picture of yourself IN the playsuit! Then we could judge it with you! But Im going to say it would definitely make you look young. Maybe not in a good way, but young.
You are hilarious!
And I need to get myself a bottle of this cupcake wine. With such a cute name, it can only taste good!
Where’d you get that wine? I’d love to try it!
not sure about the outfit – i’d need to see it on? it looks cute the way it’s hanging there but i am getting the impression from you referencing the awesome ‘culotte’ that it has 2 holes for legs?
too funny about white castle. haha. i better call before they are booked up!
Hey!
I just came across your blog the other day and I really enjoy reading it!!
