Icky gross poo yucky house centipede disgusting creatures! ewwwwwwwwwwww
I am not a typically squeamish person, but these multi-legged fast moving crawly guys make me shriek, hop on one foot, cry, that sort of thing.
I hadn't encountered any yet in my semi-new apartment until tonight. Since my two cats were useless in capturing the intruder, I just dropped a large textbook on one... it did the trick. Does this make me a bad person?

SpF: GOD!
There is a Baptist Church near where I live and they often have quite "interesting" tag lines on their sign as you drive past.
Today it read:
"Avoid burning, use your SON Block"
(groan!)

I am my own best valentine
Happy Valentine's Day....
I don't really get excited for Valentine's, it seems like a bit of a silly day. What I don't like is the focus media places on this day being for couples. I always thought it was about love, and love is for everyone, whether you are in a relationship or not. But I guess any excuse to eat chocolate isn't a bad thing (was this holiday created by dentists?)
Today I was my own valentine, and I treat myself good!
Today I:
- bought myself flowers
- attended my weekly cardio kickbox class

My name is Soosan and I'm an informercial junky.
Admit it... we all watch them, we all get caught up in them!
I have a few favourites:
-the REVO spinning hairbrush (it's REVOlutationary)
-Anything by Ron Pompeil (just set it.. and forget it!)
Numerous others which I can only visualize but not remember the product name.. such as one from aaages ago that was used on coarse thick hair to smoothen it and actually ended up making everyone bald.
What I love are the fake actor ones...
I *love* this one.. it makes me laugh like... well.. it's memorable.
The funniest part of this informercial ARE the actors! Has anyone seen this one? They have really peppy people in their mid-30s (or early 40s), but then they have this out of place spinster lady "Ethel" with a cigarette hanging from her mouth the entire infomercial. She is wearing one of those floral dresses, her hair is all mega-permed, she has cat eye glasses. She reminds me of a character that Rachel Dratch would play on SNL. Who exactly ARE they marketing to..
I want to find a picture of Ethel.. she's too funny. My favourite is how grossed out she is by garlic, and broccoli. weird weird weird

Girly girl skin care tips
#1: under the skin zits
Lavendar Essential Oil! Apply directly from the bottle the moment you notice, and they barely develop.
(works like a charm! I am forever grateful to my friend who passed along the news)
#2: dreamy bath
Pretty much any bath product from LUSH. Recently I used this... I really liked it, but then I'm a sucker for citrus. If you go the bath bomb route, beware of the term "glitter" anywhere in the description. Yeah... I left a trail everywhere I went.
#3: smell like a baby (you know what I mean)
Again... LUSH. Another friend opened my eyes to dusting powders...
We all love this one: Silky Underwear

Cuuuuuuuuuute!
Looky looky what I made! It's for a co-worker's baby to be, and it's one of the patterns from Stitch 'n Bitch Nation. This was the "baby's first tattoo" cardigan, but since I am still fairly new to intarsia, I opted to leave the decals and instead make a more plain jane cardigan. Still... I think it turned out pretty cute! I love making things for people, it's so much fun.
Here are a few shots.... I'm quite proud! And look... snaps!

These boots aren't make for walking
A letter to my fellow ladies,
Why is boot shopping so hard? Why are they always sold out of the style that make your heart a flutter? Why do sales clerks make you feel like a twat for not being used to the "feeling" of heels?
I'm sorry, but if the arch of your foot isn't hitting the base of the boot.. it's not because you are used to the "feeling" of flats, it's because the shoe doesn't fit. If the shoe doesn't fit, don't wear it.
Sincerely,
Soosan

In the beginning....
...there was um... er... like... stuff.
First post at my 3rd or 4th of 5th... (who's keeping count anyway) attempt at this thing we call a "blog".
I won't bore you with the little things (like how awesome I am, or smart, funny, and incredibly beautiful, and how if you met me you would want to be me...).
Let's just start with the important stuff.
Take a look at these jeans! Who came up with this idea? Nothing against the worn in look, but you have to admit, this is a bit silly. What's next? Jeans that look like and feel as if you shrank them in the wash? riiiiiight.
On a more personal note, what's my new year's resolution? Learn how to crochet. (seriously)
