Petite Insanities

1. twattergun when a woman gets a tattoo of holstered guns on or below the pelvic bones, pointing to the twat. "YO! That bitch is packin', check out those twatterguns!" Hilary , an awesome co-worker of mine, and I  invented the above word the other day and submitted it to  Urban Dictionary . They totally published it! I love the internet.

Want to hear a great idea?  Pinkberry for lunch... This week flew by and I'm very much looking forward to a couple of relaxing days with my honey and our pup a nd ... a trip to the  Tim Burton Exhibit  at the LA art museum. Blogland: * Totally feeling this very personal  post  from the veda house. * Not sure if you want kids? Go  here ... you'll definitely want to  dress  one. * I knew I loved  mustaches  for more than just their aesthetics. * Totally forgot how funny  david thorne  is... Thanks, honey. * Why I must have a  vintage caravan  in my life. *  HELP  Janee find her long lost print! I sent a little message of encouragement to the lovely Katie of  Hazel & Mare  when her brain was "mush" and she didn't feel like writing her daily haiku. It was the first haiku I've ever written... I think. Your brain is all mush Just in time for halloween Zombies can eat it And remember when I did...

We had a wonderful day at the LA County Fair last weekend. Crazy food, fun rides and games and quality time with the hubs. What more could a girl ask for? Except for maybe some more funnel cake. xoxo

Saw a funny post over at The Perfect Pear today and had to try it on my husband. He totally took the bait. :) xoxo

Everything tastes better when it's wrapped in bacon and these are no exception. They're awesome and super easy to make. Thanks,  Salad in a Jar , for a yummy football snack. ingredients: -chicken tenders, flattened and cut in two -whipped cream cheese -1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped -bacon directions: 1. wash chicken, then *tenderize between two pieces of plastic wrap 2. cut each chicken tender in half 3. dab about 1 teaspoon of whipped cream cheese in the center of each tender 4. add desired amount of chopped jalapeno to each tender 5. fold chicken tender to enclose **cream cheese mixture and wrap each roll with one piece of bacon, securing with a toothpick 6. grill until bacon is brown and crispy on both sides what i learned: *really flatten the chicken when tenderizing. it will be easier to roll and will help keep the cream cheese inside. **it might be a good idea to add salt and pepper to taste or even a little garlic salt to pump up the flavors a bit. E...

Now that we've cleared out the reading room , it's time to decorate and I can't get over Urban Outfitters' apartment decor. Lots of must haves at affordable prices. I'm particularly drooling over that sofa. It's a convertible sleeper too. 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 xoxo

The other day I received the 615 page,  FALL 2011 Source Book  from Restoration Hardware in the mail. I can describe it in two words . . .  vintage bliss .  I want to curl up with a good book and a glass of something sweet in every room. I'm especially in love with their reproduction pieces ranging from a  19th Century French Baroque Chandelier  to  World War II Celestial Binoculars . Even their 20th Century Factory Shade Lamps complete with  filament bulbs  in all shapes, sizes and degrees of loops are fantastic.  The best part?  A new store, I mean  Gallery ,  the first of its kind , has just opened in Los Angeles. See you there. xoxo

Abbey from  Aesthetic Outburst  has  set up a   fundraiser   to benefit Owego, New York flood victims. This is the town she grew up in and this disaster has devastated their community. Her goal is to raise $5,000 and they've already raised over $1,100.  Every little bit helps no matter how small. Please click  here   to donate. xoxo

1. front tuck when a guy tucks in only the front of his shirt; a mullet for your shirt. "hey look at that guy's front tuck." "yea, he looks like a white trash douchebag." { urban dictionary } This is my first pseudo "what I wore" post!  Not just for guys, women can pull this one off too and perhaps make it look even better. Think it emphasizes the skinniest part of the waist and makes you look thinner? That's my excuse. Even though my friends make fun of me, I still do it anyway. What are your thoughts on the front tuck? xoxo
