Pick ME! Agree with ME!

Remember when I talked about the new He Said She Said section for the blog? Well, here it is! The very first post! This is something The Boy and I have discussed, like, a bazillion times. He doesn't think sheets are necessary. I can't imagine my bed without them!

HE SAYS:
Sheets? Sheets are stupid. There’s nothing a sheet can do that a good comforter can’t replace. Those of you that like sheets probably enjoy having your shoe laces tied together while you walk, or wedgies. It’s just an unnecessary annoyance that can easily be avoided, like wearing boxers instead of nut-hugging tighty-whiteys to avoid butt flossing. To fully pick up what I’m puttin’ down, ask yourself how many nights you've gone to bed, tucked in all snuggly-wuggly in your sheet and comforter, only to wake up with a) no sheet, because you've kicked it onto the floor at the foot of the bed (probably because your sleep-self realized how stupid sheets are and did what you should have done a long time ago) or b) the sheet covering like maybe one nipple and your left elbow because you've somehow turned it over twice and it now resembles bow-tie pasta. BUT, how many times have you awakened to no comforter (unless your sig. other steals it, which is a totally different post)? NONE! Your trusty comforter is always there!

Poor Justin has to put up with my
mad bed-hogging skills that go
something like this :)

SHE SAYS:

Bed Sheets are a girl’s best friend.

I mean, really, sliding into clean sheets after just shaving your legs is one of the best feelings ever. A bed is not complete without sheets. Sheets are the perfect way to stay warm and cool at the same time. Too hot? Just use the sheet. Too cold? Pull up the sheet.

Can you imagine a world without character sheets? Kids would be so sad. I still remember my awesome Little Mermaid sheets. And what about the day you switch to flannel sheets every year…the first time you snuggle up with the windows open on a crisp fall evening….magical!

Plus – if there were no sheets, how would it be possible to build living room forts? Everyone loves a good living room fort! You know what else you can do with a sheet – Toga party. Enough said. Sheets are awesome.

So what do you think?

Sheets? or No Sheets?

 

Hot Yoga, Mojitos, and Spray Tans

How did I manage to get through the weekend without a blog post? I had more than enough free time. In fact, I spent more time on the couch than I did on my feet! Like, really, I watched 10 episodes of Grey’s Anatomy on Monday…lazy!

It’s all good though because I excelled at barely survived Hot Yoga on Saturday. A few fun facts about me: I’m not flexible, I have no upper body strength, and I have a very short attention span…so a 90 minute hot yoga class was the perfect workout for me on Saturday morning :) I was surprised. It was seriously one of the best workouts I've ever had. I woke up on Sunday and it was all I could do to get myself from my bed to the couch. My arms and shoulders took a beating...bring on tank top season!

On Sunday, I went to a cookout/bonfire/Memorial Day Extravaganza and had a mojito for the first time ever.  It's such a summer drink. Try it, you'll love it. 

All you need is: rum, diet sprite, splenda, lime juice, limes, and mint leaves.

Muddle the mint leaves, lime juice, and splenda. Fill with ice, add the rum, and add the sprite...It's so easy!

Then, after looking at all of the pictures people kept posting on facebook of laying out by the pool, I got super jealous. (It might look summery in that picture, but we were in jeans and hoodies sitting by a bonfire just a few hours later!)  After being jealous for 2.5 seconds, I got the brilliant idea to get a spray tan. According to the internet (and we know it's always right about everything), technologies have advanced over the last couple of years and you can now get a spray tan without looking like an oompa loompa. Count. Me. In. I gotta say, I'm pleasantly surprised at the outcome. For the next five to seven days, I will have the sun kissed look that all ginger kids dream about :) 

....My only issue is that my hands are darker than the rest of my body...so if my hands are in my pockets or you see me wearing gloves when it's 90 degrees out, don't ask questions! Any helpful hints/quick fixes? Fill me in people!

How did you celebrate Memorial Day Weekend?

What's your favorite summer cocktail?

Have you ever gotten a spray tan? Thoughts?
