I hope Santa has got Internet access...

I know I told the kids that you wouldn’t be coming by our house, but just in case, here is my letter to you:



Dear Mr. Claus,


I hope all is well with you and that you are not behind schedule preparing all the gifts for Christmas. I know you recently received many kids' very extensive and detailed list of demands, but I'm wondering: What about the parents? Don't we get to ask stuff? Listen, Santa (I hope you don't mind me calling you Santa?), my friends and I, we harbor desires no mere mortal could fulfill. You, however, are clearly no mere mortal. If anyone can do it, Santa, it's you! (Yes, I am kissing up to you and I’m sure You probably get that a lot.) So here you go.

All I would like is a joyful holiday for everyone, and a happy new year, and actually while you're at it could you eradicate all sadness?


Love and Merry Christmas to you too!


Joy

PS: I have been really good this year so if you have more time to go shopping (and this is where Internet access could help – you know shopping on-line is totally OK, you don’t need to go out for me to show you care), here a few things that have been on my Wish List.

Link can be found: HERE

(This would just go perfectly with my new sequin skirt :o)

Link for this one is HERE

(Well, because I'm simply not getting any younger! Can you believe I'll be turning 31 next year?!)

Link: HERE

(Yeay, this would be so Sex & The City!!!)

Link HERE

(Because one can't have too many shoes and these would be perfect for next season!)

Hopefully, I won't get this answer in my mail:

I am so Happy!!!

Just as I was pressing the button « publish post » for the last one, I got a text from My Dear Brother telling me he’s getting out of the hospital this afternoon!!!!

Oh My God! Oh My God! Oh My God! I am SO SO SO HAPPY!!!

So now I can be my normal self again and just start annoying him again!!! OK, OK, I’ll be good for a while (just enough time for him to fully recover), then this is what I’ll tell him:  

I AM SO HAPPY I COULD PEE IN MY PANTS!!! SERIOUSLY !!!!

Dear Santa Claus...

... hi there! How are you? I know, I know, it is still only September, but do you think you could bring my gift a little earlier this year? I know I’m being unreasonable, but I have been a really good girl, trust me! (Minus the way too-much-spent-shopping mishap at Zara, but sure what's new?!) It's sold by Asos, and I HEART this warm color! It would complete every outfit I have planned for the next few months! Of course I would need both the small and the big size.

Also, because it’s on the Asos website, you wouldn’t even have to go out. You could just go on Internet…

And just in case you feel really generous, I am madly in love with this bag too:

It’s the "HERMES Birkin 50 Crocodile Look Leather Dark Brown handbag”, and the great news is that it’s on sale!!!

From $1,398.00 it is now  $339.80!!! Isn’t this a bargain? See I’m even saving you some money…

Anyway, I hope you’ll give in to my request as I really, I really would be taking very good care of my gifts and I’ll promise I’ll behave well for the rest of the year.

Love, 

Joy

And if all the cupcakes looked like this...

In reference to a post earlier today…

... I wouldn’t resist indulging on these and would die stuffing myself… Oh, dear….

If hamburgers looked like this…

… even I might have bite from time to time !...

I swear I won't ask for anything else!!!!

Ok there are still:

277  Days

14  Hours

and

9  Minutes

before Christmas, but…

I REALLY NEED THIS!!!!!!!!!!!

And by this ---- I meant "THESE" !!! Yes the IPAD AND the Velcro!!!!

I’ll be good I promise….

Please, please, please

Oh My… There is going to be some damage!

I am planning a little trip into what my Other Half likes to call his hell on earth: IKEA J

ME  + Other Half or things I told him yesterday evening:

·         But Love, we really need to go…

·         Yes you have to come with me

·         Yes I really need that stuff

·         And that one too

·         No It can’t wait

·         Seriously, if you love me, you’ll just say yes

·         Stop that or I’ll cry

·         You’re wonderful

·         I love you

Here I go again....

I want to be in my car, all windows open, my aviator glasses on, driving straight to nowhere, listening to this full volume…

I know, I know I need to grow up J

Can’t wait to watch a new episode of Glee tonight J

Feeling like a teenager again…

OK I have a confession: I HAVE A HUGE CRUSH ON MATTHEW MORRISON!!!! I feel like a teenager every time I see him on GLEE… If I had gotten this type of teacher while in high school, I would have been a straight – A kid!

Love the way he dances, sings, even the slightly curly hair! He makes a guy in a vest look sooo sexy…

I torture my husband and make him watch GLEE as well— now, if I could only make him dance and wear a vest *Insert Naughty Naughty Thaughts*

Below, he’s new single, oh sweet words to my ears…

OMG!!! I need one of those!

I can’t even remember the last time my boobs looked great! Since I had the kids, my boobs have fallen and they can’t get up. This video really illustrate how I feel sometimes:

I’ve tried everything except this:

Who knows? Miracle do happen right? :o)

Prayer of the day...

New week, continue with resolution to lose weight…

Prayer of the day:

Dear Lord,

Please help me resist:

1. The little pieces of chocolate that my colleague just put in front me.

2. The left-over caramelized juice ribs awaiting in my fridge

3. The un-opened bottle of red wine  that has been by calling me for weeks now

I have been trying to lose the 5 last pounds that keep on cringing to my hips… I’ve done it all, the gym, the Tracy Anderson DVDs, the eat only one slice of apple a day (which is clearly crazy! But as I am slightly stupid at times had to try for half a day, before indulging in a HUGE Big Mac!), and I finally managed to shred 4 pounds. I need to resist temptation if not I will have to go up a pants size, then I will really have a break into the forbidden red wine bottle! (Ok now, I sound like an alcoholic, so I’ll stop)

Besides, I really need to lose those last pounds because I can’t wait to buy the super cool leather leggings I saw a week ago at ZARA. I already have the Rocking Tee and the super high heels to go with it! Yeahaaa!!! Hot Momma in becoming!

Anyway, pray for me as there is a reason why SHRED rhymes with DEAD!

12 Steps Program ? Hum, let me think about it…

Hi. My name is JOY. I’m addicted to ZARA. It’s been 2 hours since my last shopping trip. I went to ZARA for a little top and leggings, but in didn’t end there alas. I just could not stop myself. I was just out of control. I also bought some earrings, I justified it by telling myself that I had no jewelry that would match my new top. But did I stop at this? Nope! Like a real addict, I went to take more. A new sweater because you know, the 15 others that I have in my closet were not exactly this type of black.

I think I really hit rock bottom when I stopped at the silky blouses and just started talking to them. All this beautiful fabrics got me all giddy. Shopping is a real treasure hunt for me!

ZARA, you lure me with all your trendy clothes and accessories, I always come back for more, I always need something from you and I never leave empty handed.

I guess admitting I have a problem is a first step. I’ll get to the other 11 some other time. I just remembered that Morgane needs a new coat and Arthur a new pair of pants.

What was I thinking ?!?!?

Like the usual shopaholic, I found myself every now and then itching to buy a few things for parties where other half and I have been invited.  The next one is supposed to be "chic", so that was the perfect excuse to go to Zara again :-)

I have been wanting to try a leather dress and I found the perfect shoes to wear with it. I headed to Zara during my lunch break and grabbed several items to try on while I was there. I had very limited time before I had to go back to the office, it was time to play "beat the clock"!

So I scanned the items that I took into the dressing room and settled a time efficiency strategy. I tried a striped navy blue and white top with some dark blue leggings. These were great and a definite "must buy".

I decided to try the leather dress last since it intimidated me for so long… I glanced at it and realized I had grabbed a size small. Because I’m some sort of stubborn shopaholic, I decided to try them any way…Not realizing this dress was made of some sort of skin sucking fabric hand-made by Satan’s slaves themselves!

I struggled to get the dress pass the boob part (Hell! I can hear my dear brother saying: "Really?! Did you inflate them overnight?") I knew I was screwed when I could barely pass the dress over my "almost" flat belly. This dress made me look like an S&M mistress gone wrong! So, so, so wrong… This dress was the equivalent of a girdle on steroids!

I felt like a leathered sharpei, all I need was the collar with spikes on it as an accessory! I managed to get the dress off me, but not without looking like a lobster trying to get out of a boiling pot! I still have super red marks all over my body. The phrase "One must suffer to be beautiful" takes all its meaning in this situation!  But this time, I will not take it in!

I believe the temptation of buying this dress is definitely gone, I had right reasons to be intimidated by it, I learned my lesson but not without suffering!

I did consider buying the dress but just to take pleasure on setting it on fire!
