Salad Nazi

I just found out that the school where I work, teachers can order custom, super salads for their lunchtime pleasure. I was in the lunchroom and asked the lunchlady for a salad.
"You have to order the salad," she said.
"That's right and I'm ordering the salad," I replied in a jovial, fun-filled voice.
"No. You must order the salad 24 hours before picking it up"
"24 hours? But...it's a salad. Chopped vegetables and other stuff"
"We have to call it in to the central cafeteria and they make it up and send it to us."
"Oh. You don't have the salads. Okay..." I say lightheartededly and added,"Well then, I'd like to order a salad for tomorrow."
"It's 11:30 now."
"And, I'm ordering a salad for tomorrow's lunch" beginning to grit my teeth.
"You have to order by 11:00."
I died. Pick up the phone and call it in, lunchlady. It's not like there's a million salads flying out of here. ONE SALAD. I saw one teacher leave with ONE salad today.
I went over to Jack-in-the-box and ordered a salad and had it placed in my hands within five minutes. And we wonder why our school systems are not working well.

Color me psychic

If you remember months ago I posted "Called It" which introduced you all to Leanne...what can I say? I'm available to go to horse races, choose lottery numbers, and break wishbones.

Oh.My.God

Rachel,Rachel,Rachel. What are we going to do with you? Take off the f*ckin "sunnies" babe when you're wanting to have a heart-to-heart with employees. You slay me.

Fun with Fall Fashion

Just got these vintage style pumps with three buttoned straps in a fabulous, ever-so-fashionable purple with the perfect heel for my work and play at Nordstroms. Is anyone else in love with purple this fall?

From TopShop (which is just so fun ) a perfect heel height for work and I love, love,love all the buckles. The only drag with TopShop--although they do have the US website and you pay US$--you have to return to London...total buzzkill if your purchase does not fit (from AZ to London with insurance--$30+)

Lift and separate

I've been wearing invisalign for approximately 6 weeks and I swear I can tell a difference already. You change your tray every 2 weeks (that is, if you've worn them 22 hours a day for the last 2 weeks...I usually have to add a day to make up for my hours missed). When you put in a new tray it's amazing how snug, firm, and supported your teeth feel...like a really great bra. Too bad the bra can't change your breasts like these are changing my teeth.

Renaissance period

I've come to realize at this time in my life~ as much as I want to look like this~


I'm definitely more in a "curves ahead" zone...my "renaissance" period if you will (the painters would be begging for a nude of me). Although, Christina Hendricks (MadMen) curves are fabulous and in all the right places.

and we are loving the "real woman" interview with Christina:

I should enjoy it...in a few years I'll be in the middle ages famine period...and that won't be too pretty.

Tummy tuck? Face lift?

Some people might look at these two ladies and think the two are in need of a nip and a tuck. I look at them and swoon. The faded velvet, the worn trim, the stories they could tell.
