Thoughts?

Wife as a Verb...

Maybe we've watched too much Jersey Shore lately (moment of silence for season end, please!)

But for some strange reason, we're liking the use of the word wife as a verb.

As in...

Wife up.

or

If I'm going to wife you...

However, in concept, we'll never be your typical housewife. We hate to cook. We tried it again this weekend, and all we can smell (after scrubbing with soap, lemon, moisturizer) is garlic on our fingers! Not ideal for an early morning yoga class. Puke.

Though if you ever do wife us. (Strong hint incoming) Our perfect ring is above.

Stolen Words...

I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.

We Think You're Lovely.

It's called a compliment.

Now pay it forward.

DKNY Cozy..

All time fave!

We've wanted one for so long and so we finally took the plunge.

Absolute perfection.

And of course there's an app for that.

We could live in a dkny cozy, yoga jeans (could swear this denim delight had graced our fave's previously but cannot find for our life - next post, coming up soon!) and our fave sky high heels.

Heart!!! We want it in black and purple and pink and green... Christmas isn't so far, no?

ps. our faves are number #4 + #5 but we hear the boys fancy #3.

Use it or Lose it?

We can't lie. More often than not, these days we find ourself sitting back to thank our lucky stars for how amazing our life has been. Has become. Is becoming. Perhaps even awesome.

Whether it's while we cuddle up with a glass of Malbec, in our pj's and Uggs at the cottage, hanging out with les parents, waiting for a delicious steak + potato dinner.

Or the times where we settle down after a long day at work, in our beautiful apartment, with a glass of Shiraz.

And definitely the girls nights with our besties, either one-on-one or group events (and yes, lately our girls nights usually involve a boy - weird trend - another post for another day!) cheers-ing to good times with a glass of Pinot Noir.

(...okay, we sense another trend here - rhymes with fine... line... mine... and again, another post for another day!)

But back to our original train of thought, before tonight's crrent glass of wine derailed us, lately we've had a pretty great life.

We're thankful.

But we're thinking maybe it's not just enough to be thankful.

Are we supposed to use this thanks?

Pay it forward? Backwards? Side to side?

And if we don't, do we lose it?

How do you use it?

Happy Thanksgiving!

Breaking up is Hard to Do...

Y'all put up with multiple break up posts from us last year - this is a bit different. And it will only last one post. Promise.

We've been trying to break up with Extreme Fitness for a while. While we love the atmosphere at the Delisle (especially the sauna!). And they get bonus points for Sunday aft power yoga with Lori K. (though we hear rumours of a cancelled class). We have a gym in our condo. And many thoughts on how better to use our $80 per month.

We also have an on and off relationship with 889 Yonge. And it's looking like that one's made to last!

So, today we dragged ourself to the place where it all began, to cancel our membership. To break up with Extreme.

We'd put this off a while, as we'd imagined all of the push back we'd get on cancelling. If there's one thing we dislike. It's sales guys. Pushy, sleazy sales guys. Strong dislike.

But we were surprised in a good way.

We didn't get bullied, coerced or fall victim to any other aggressive tactics to keep us as members.

We got a compliment and a sheet to sign.

So Extreme Fitness, we have to give it to you for staying classy.

It's not that we didn't love you. It's just that we don't need you.

x's & o's,

Leslie

ps. Yes, kids. We do realize that it should be what you love and not what you need in real life relationships. However, a gym membership is entirely a different ball game!

pps. This is our 200th blog post - whoo hoo!!!

Well Suited...

No longer a fave?

We've been thinking over the past few weeks, that we're a little tired of the suits.

Not the working suits.

The pick up artists in suits.

The ones with lines like "you better not have a hot boyfriend." (lame).

And even worse are the ones that ask your boy friends if you have a boyfriend, pre-approach. (lamer).

While we will always appreciate a well put together gentleman - perhaps it's time to use your vacation time (wisely?) and investigate these day time boys?

Sharing is Caring...

Even though it's Saturday night...

And even though I'm on vacation...

See Jane Work.

Fave!

Whoever and wherever Pierre Belvédère is. Sir, I wanna marry you.
