The Avengers: Observations, Questions and a Three Word Spoiler
Observations Captain America needs a cooler secret weapon than a giant frisbee. I love Ironman. Tony Stark such an awesome smartass.

Why Do Women in Real Estate Flipping Shows Wear Stupid Shoes?
In just the past couple of weeks, I’ve seen a stiletto go through a rotted floor, a platform sandal slip off in a mud puddle and a pair of leather pumps ruined my red clay. Why would anyone turn up at a construction site in frivolous shoes? They should have been wearing steel-toed work boots. […]

So instead of updating my blog, I spend my days posting or “pinning” pictures of pretty clothes or purple hair or cute puppies to a virtual bulletin board. I have a variety of boards which I’ve titled things like Awesome Hair […]
