Make Me Over!

Brown Eyed Girl….for now.

Do you ever wonder what you would look like with different color eyes? No? Ok, well I do. I have really, really dark brown eyes and as much as I love having a song named for my chocolate colored eyeballs, I’ve always wondered how different I would look with say blue eyes, or green eyes. So I got to work and started playing around with those online makeover programs where you submit a photo of yourself and play around with hairstyles, makeup and eye color. InStyle has a free program and so does iVillage, but they seem to have a few quirks to them and sometimes freeze up my computer, boo. The other day, however, I stumbled upon Taaz. They have the best online makeover program that I’ve ever used and a great eye color enhancement tool! So I set to work. I snapped a picture of myself when I got home from work and got to playing. Check out the results!

Look #1: Hazel Eyes

Look #2: Blue Eyes

Look #3: Green Eyes

Look #4: I like to call this the Breaking Dawn Bella Cullen Eyes. Creepy.

Ah, who knows. Perhaps I’m destined to be a brown eyed girl. But it’s so fun to make yourself over online. Some of the crazy stuff I’ve come up with is hysterical. I’ll have to post those pics later!

K: OMG. That is terrifying! It looks like my eyeballs could massacre a small village.

My coworker has one of these on her desk. I’ve given it several shakes this week at work. Ahhhhh!

Head Trip

Have you guys tried one of these things? I know it looks like an alien spider probe, but it is uh-mazing. It’s a head massager. I got one for both my dad and my husband for their birthdays and they love it. I love it. The dog loves it. Okay not really, he’s freaked out by it.

It feels like when people used to pretend to break an egg over your head with their fingers and it gave you goosebumps. Mmmm. When I’m stressed or have a headache (like all this week), I use it and it makes it allll better. See how happy this girl is:

I look more like this:

Check it out. They’re on sale on Amazon for like 7 bucks. Just make sure you search “head massager” otherwise you’re going to get a lot of vibrators in your search.

Third Grade Hate Mail

Remember when Pluto was a planet? Yea, me too. How weird is it that our kids will grow up learning that there are only 8 planets, not 9. What’s happened to My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas? What will our very educated mother do now?

My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nachos?

Or should we change it all together? My Very Exotic Mistress Just Showed Up Naked. Although, I highly doubt that my friend Ashley would feel even the slightest bit comfortable teaching her fifth graders this. Anyway, to get to the point of this post, I recently stumbled upon a group of letters from a third grade class expressing how upset they were over the fact that Pluto is no longer being considered a planet. These kids were legit angry; it’s hysterical. The letters were written to Neil deGrasse Tyson, host of PBS’s new show The Pluto Files which premieres on March 2nd and explores the rise and fall of our beloved Pluto. Here are some excerpts from this angry mob of third graders.

Will Galmot, future Leonardo Da Vinci.

See next photo for some amazing artwork!

Perhaps this next little tike should have considered notebook paper as a good choice? Or a ruler?

This is my favorite. Such anger. Such emotion. And the way they portray Saturn missing his best friend Pluto just rips my heart out. I want this to be my kid.

And of course you have that one kid who has to be the peacemaker. “I’m sorry we were mean. We’ll just have to get over it. It’ll be OK.” Haha.

ShadyURL.com

A friend of mine showed me this hilarious site called ShadyURL.com. It’s like Tiny URL but instead of shortening your URL, it makes it “suspicious and frightening.” So instead of sending someone www.2sistersblog.com I can send them this:

http://5z8.info/snufffilms_b5i0d_click-on-this-and-youll-be-taken-to-page-that-will-create-pop-up-windows-until-your-browser-crashes

or this:

http://5z8.info/dogs-being-eaten_a8i0m_stealgmailpassword–

or this:

http://5z8.info/serbian-brides_v0r9l_dogporn

Shady and frightening right? But they all link back to our site. Brilliant.

I bought these jeans from Forever21 a couple months ago. They’re really cute and fit well. But the damn zipper will not stay up for the life of me. Every time I sit or even walk too much it starts to come down. Why is that!? They’re not tight. It’s so annoying. I’m going to have to get it replaced I guess.

You know I always wondered why they had so many pairs left when they were only $9. Ah, right that’s why. Grrr!
