Hey I had a Birthday..........

and yeah I got to do some cool stuff, like I wore a sombrero and ate mexican food in the gaslight district of San Diego and I got to shake TC's hand at the Twin's game. What a birthday, heck you don't turn 27 everyday!

Sweet, I made another blog

Wowzaas was I surprised when I discovered my dress challenge and sweetwhitelady.com had made my friend Courtney's website. Courtney's blog, or in her case clog, has been around since blogs were few and far between. She has a really nice site, I check it almost daily and so should you, www.courtneyremes.com

You never know what you might see on Hennepin.

Extreme Dress Challenge Day #25 - FINALE

Well I made it to Day 25, YES!!!! My final offering is a beautiful little number, handmade by my friend Melita for a 4-H project, worn to a Broadway showing of Les Mis and now the showcase of my 25 dress collection. This dress also fulfills my obligation over a bet placed at dinner some weeks ago. Tami and Jason this is a shout out to you! I love this dress, perfect cut, perfect color, perfect bow and absolutely perfect sleeves. I give it a 10+. I did have a couple people ask me if those were darts on the bodice or if it was a bit chilly in here today. Come on people, that is part of the allure, not knowing. Quote of the day "Give me your number? Like I'd ever call you!"

Extreme Dress Challenge Day #25 - sneak peek

Extreme Dress Challenge Day #24

Do you have an appointment ma'am? Hmm I have never seen anyone wait in our waiting area before so I thought I better try it out. This dress is perfect for waiting around but kind of short for things like walking, bending over, riding bike, you know things that require movement. This polyester dress is full of rhinestones (cool) but also super itchy. I don't think I will be wearing this dress after hours. Quote of the day "I'm not mean you're just a sissy"

Extreme Dress Challenge Day #23

I am excited to cut paper, I love cutting paper, uh huh. I am starting to struggle with new and exciting photo opportunities, it is a good thing this extreme challenge is winding down. I decided to carry this dress to work today and then change, it was just too risky to try to wear it. This dress is a formal gown, I do not own a gown, I merely borrowed it from a friend and I have bad luck when it comes to other people's things, cars, clothing, toilets, etc. Quote of the day "Make the stupid people shut up"

Extreme Dress Challenge Day #22

I am wearing this lovely dress in front of 3 of enXco's wind turbines in Chandler MN. It turned out to be a beautiful day, it was so nice to be outside. The director of the wind tours took one look at me and said "aren't you a little overdressed for wind tours?" My reply "I was born in dress, I look like this everyday" On the drive down Anton swerved to avoid a porcupine and then a small bird and we almost went off the road, twice. Then a black cat passed in front of us and I thought, "this could be my day" Our fate was almost sealed as Anton pulled a u-turn in the middle of Hwy 30 and came 2 feet from broadsiding a hearse. I kid you not it was insane, all I could do was tap the window, I was speechless and Barb in the backseat was just yelling hearse, hearse. Quote of the day "me want hurt you"

Would anyone object.....

if I said I did not know this guy?

Extreme Dress Challenge Day #21

You want cream with your coffee? Yep, you can just call me Alice, I knew I could pull off the waitress look. This dress is great on the bicycle, perfect length. Quote of the day "It's not fair to you how cool I am"

Nice Catch Rick!

My friend Darcie's Dad caught this massive muskie in Mille Lacs Lake in August. We didn't have a camera with, but a couple of fellas stopped to help land the fish and then took a photo. I was scared of the thing, it looked prehistoric and had massive chompers. Still it was cool, something you don't see everyday.

Extreme Dress Challenge Day #20

Yes, I really look like this, I also feel like crap so I guess it makes sense. I woke up late which is not unusual but I also ran 20 miles and biked 40 miles in 90 degree heat which is. I am one tired chicka. This dress is long, biking to work was not easy. I even tried using a chip clip to keep this dress outta the spokes but ended up riding with one hand and holding with the other and then the rain came. Those big cold drops, I thought I was going to get soaked but it kind of held off until I made it to the building. Oh I have a case of the mondays. Quote of the day "You suck big time"

Extreme Dress Challenge Day #19

I don't think anyone has looked cooler with their tongue out since Micheal Jordan. Today's dress is basic black, nothing special but nice. Today I finally figured out how to zip my own dress. Why didn't anyone tell me the secret?? Quote of the day "not listening"

Extreme Dress Challenge Day #18

When one is wearing a dress such as this I really think a thumbs up says it all. Quote of the day "I love boys, they're stupid"

COOL but tell me I don't need one.

HAH - Take that L'equipe

Maybe I will get to see Lance ride another tour.

Extreme Dress Challenge Day #17

So this photo has alot going on. First off this dress is OLD, Barb borrowed it to me and can I say, WOW I can pull off vintage. Additionally I am holding a photo, some barbecue tools and also am wearing a blue ribbon. Why you ask, well my parent company sponsored the girl in the photo to bring a sheep to the fair. Her sheep was so nice she won a blue ribbon and the county fair sent us a copy of the ribbon to enjoy and then they follow it up with a really nice set of barbecue tools. Seems kind of sicko to send barbecuing stuff for having nice looking animals but whatever. Quote of the day "Hey you made me throw up a little"

Extreme Dress Challenge Day #16

Hmm, for the life of me I could not take a photo with my eyes open today. Maybe it is allergies or maybe my emotions are out of whack from yesterday, the worst day of the year. I hate Labor Day and always will. Goodbye Summer, we will miss you! Quote of the day "You smell like butt"

What a horrible start to the week. Pffffffffffft!

Extreme Dress Challenge Day #15

No mail, what a bummer. Yes this dress is S-H-O-R-T and not exactly flattering from this pose but hey it is day 15, I can't be too picky. I was going to ride my bike home over lunch because it has been sitting in the office for a couple of days but I can't decide if that would be possible or really a very good idea. I am ready for the long weekend, all the dress stress is starting to get to me. Quote of the day "hi, cram it"

I got a Blackberry, and you didn't!

Okay not really but my I am no longer being sued! The not nice man settled out of court for $4000, I hope that doesn't even cover his lawyer fees. JERK

Extreme Dress Challenge Day #14

Wow I think I would make an excellent teacher, I mean look at me, I for sure got the hand signals down. Here I am teaching a short lesson on geography using a map I made with GIS software. GIS is awesome! Today, I am styling, props to Nancy Munce Tronsgard-White for loaning this Jane Jetson space age ditty to me.
