Family Plans

My family is already talking about how soon they'll be able to come over and visit me in the Netherlands. I told them that they were welcome whenever they wanted to visit...as long as they were sure to make Hotel Reservations. Space is at a premium in most Dutch homes and the home I'll be living in is no exception to that rule. Not to mention I don't think my Dad will be up for maneuvering three or more flights of stairs...very narrow stairs at that. Irregardless, I will love having my family over to visit. It'll be great to show them all of the same wonderful sites I've been able to see during all of my many trips to Europe. Hopefully airline tickets will quit skyrocketing and mellow out a bit before that happens though. I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed on that one.

Changes...all for the good!

I'm trying to get better with my posting here. It's been a rough start to the new year as far as time allotments go. I've started school and that takes up more of my evenings that I thought. I'm also in the middle of planning a big move for June 24th. I will be relocating to the Netherlands. That's right. New life, new country, new city, new surroundings, old friends and new friends! I'm excited to say the least. Of course once I move, I'll be able to get a more up close and personal look into the latest European fashions in clothing and accessories. The good thing is, the clothing industry as a whole is becoming more and more aware of the fact that not every woman is a size 2. It's much easier to find plus-sized clothing lines now. Clothing stores dedicated to plus sized fashions are also more plentiful. I'm going to have to put myself on an extremely strict budget. Purses and shoes and clothes.....OH MY!!

Don't forget

When you're doing your shopping for your Valentine, don't forgot to use the online coupons made available to you at CouponChief.com Seriously, I learned at Christmastime just how much money I can save by copying and pasting a simple coupon code. I'll probably make my niece and nephews my Valentines this year. I can never go wrong when I pick them out something at KB Toys. They've often got great deals on the video games that they're so into right now. Of course if I pick up a few things for my mom and sister at Old Navy, I'll be sure to score a few extra points as well. I may not have a romantic Valentine's Day but that's alright. I'll still be giving and getting lots of love either way!

Sexy!

You Are Thong Panties

Woman, you are one hell of a ride! You're a total wild child - and you live for crazy times. Men are attracted to you like flies to honey, even though they know they should stay away. You need a expert cowboy who can keep in tune with your free spirit!

What Kind of Panties Are You?

I adore thong panties! No panty lines. What could be better than that? Plus, I think they make me feel sexy. Ok, so maybe I don't look like Heidi Klum in a pair of thongs but hey, we're all different. Sexy is a state of mind, right?

The day approaches quickly

Once again, it's about that time of year. The time of year where everyone gets all of the beautiful flowers and the chocolates and the valentines day teddy bear. I want flowers. I want chocolates. I want the cute valentines day teddy bear. I am so tired of not being in a relationship when Valentine's rolls around. I need to start making sure that my relationships last through December into around March. I can handle getting nothing on my birthday but the most romantic day of the year? Yeah, it's definitely not cutting it with me. Something has to change here! Oh and any men reading this.....DO NOT forget to get your girlfriend/wife/significant other/mistress... whatever she is, something great for V-Day!

Practice what you preach!

I have always been one to preach about skin care and the importance of washing one's face with a good face soap. I now know why. I have been out of my normal face wash for over a week now. I've just been washing with whatever I could find in the shower. BAD BAD BAD! I have had two zits in one week! This is unacceptable. Making mental note to self... GO GET FACE WASH NOW!!!!!

A Discovery Moment

Here is today's Great Discovery: www.ZenniOptical.com. I'm loving the selection of frames available to me at Zenni Optical. Zenni's low prices can be attributed to the fact that there is no middle man. They sell only their own frames direct to the customer. I don't have to pay every Joe Schmo's salary down the pike. Works for me. I've been in the market for some new frames for quite a while and so I think I'm going to have to see just exactly what Zenni has for me. You know me...any reason to shop!

Coming back

Yes, I know. I've been in a bit of a New Year's slump here at Embracing...

I'm working on some new ideas and new projects and I hope to do some great things with this blog. I took a bit of a beating from Google so it's a lot of work to get things back on track. I'm getting there though. Slowly but surely. Besides...good things are worth waiting for.
