Game Update! and Proud of my Size

Hello all! Here we go with me showing off my Utah sweatshirt, which makes the GF extremely happy (Its even Utah Utes colors ;) ) For those who Arn't aware, Proud of my size is the brainchild of the beautiful and amazing Rachel over at the Near Sighted Owl. Be bold! Be beautiful! and Don't let someone elses opinion of your size, be it big or small, bring you down. I actually had a moment this week that made me think of Rachael and her movement. Im a good Size 10+ these days and one of my favorite work outfits is a very little black dress. at my job we are allowed to be a little.. trendy? and I have been trying to push things a little lately for my own asthetic, and get out of boring Izzy mode. So its VERY short, but paired with opaque tights adorable as can be, and covers everything. Also, I have been wearing it atleast once a week, and even to meetings with the managers with no comments what so ever. So I was just getting to work, and got on the crowded elevator with fellow co-workers. One gal, a larger gal who looked like she was having a rough day was giving me dirty looks, but I ignored her, as I work with a lot of asshats. As I got off on my floor, I hear her say to the rest of the elevator "That dress is SO inapprorpiete, I hope she gets written up." Really? Is it jealousy? Then later 2 other associates stopped me and asked if I had been warned about this dress yet. All of these are either new folks or seasonal hires because I havn't seen any of them before. Old Izzy would have been crazy embarressed or asked to go home and change, but new Izzy thought, Suck a bag of hobo penis. I get plenty of compliments on how cute it is, and the Gentleman Friend is a HUGE fan of this little lacy dress. Love yourself! Love your choices! Im guessing one of the lower level managers is pushing dress code and has the ready to wear people on edge. Im in shoe's guys, suck it. :)

Ok, so its been a crazy long time since I have done a gaming update. Its been a long time since I have played my games!! But this week Pokemon Black/White 2 came out! OMG! Yes, Im 27 years old and play pokemanz. and Im DAMN good at it. Anyways, I picked up White2, figuring most people will get Black2, as past experiance has taught me that everyone like the black dragons. Therefor I have trading fodder :) I also picked up the limited edition, hard cover guide, and splerged. OMG its soooooo pretty!! It came with a holographic plate, and its so amazing. 

I started with Snivey, as he's the only starter I havnt tried yet. I was up till midnight playing and am not to far yet, but OMG its great!! I am dissapointed they kept the same starters, it could have been cool if they gave you something else, maybe a throwback to one of the older games. Oh well. I looked into the VGC's (Nintendo's Video Game Championships) which I attended a few years ago, but they are Sunday. :( WHY??? We just got the game???? Well, MY regionals are sunday. Eastcoast doesnt go till APRIL. Not cool guys!! Anywho, sorry for the orientation, but computer and blogger are not in aggreement. But here is a shot from the game. WTF is up with Bianca's Face?

OMG my nerdyness knows no bounds!! Does anyone else out there game? Whats your system? and your game? Im a handheld girl myself. I currently play a DS Lite (not on board with the 3DS yet :( ) I have other systems but my favorite is for sure my Gameboys. Aside from Pokemanz, I also enjoy Teenage Zombies Attack of the Alien Brain Thingies, Orcs and Elves, Zelda, Harvest Moon and others. 

Have a GREAT day all!! :D Im going to ignore homework and murder pidgeons with a lizard. 

Proud of My Size

Hello all! Once again its that time of week to join the lovely Rachel over at the Near Sighted Owl  for the proud of my size link up! Im not very fashionable today. Honestly I feel horrifying today and laying there with my iPod and kitten are about as good as it gets. I missed class earlier because I couldn't stand, and couldn't stop vomiting (not even from distain!) But doing better and made it to the school, as I still don't have interwebs at the house. but ya, Kitler and I hung out this morning! Back to the proud of my size, its all about self love even when your sick as Kitler after eating a pound of frozen chicken. (true story)

So I realized that I never shared pictures of my little unnamed goldfish! Sadly right before I left for Utah Jellybean fish passed away. So about a week after I got back I was missing a cold water carp in my life and picked up a 15 cent common who is adorable! Help me pick a name.

How cute is that?!?!

Also just for an update, check out some of the lovely bruises I got from the raging narcissus' 

Shoulder and Thigh

So because I feel like a pile of cat vomit, I'll leave you guys with some lovely shots around town!

Oracle is in town, the epic software developer

Hello all! Once again the Fantastic Rachael over at the Near Sighted Owl is promoting positive body images!! and general fashion awesomeness! So here is another one of my little work outfits. Why do I always post work pictures? Well, the cute dresses! and they have a full sized mirror..... lol! Anywho, please everyone go out there and love yourself. As someone with low/no self esteem its a hard way to live.

PS, lets be friends on Instagram! Im UntidyVenus

Proud of My Size

Hello all! Its been a little while! Just got back the Utah trip with Gentleman Friend, schools starting, and things are getting chilly. For this Proud of my size link up Im showing off one of my favorite work outfits! The dress is from Forever 21, Wrap from my place of work, tights are clearance Target and my crocks. Yes those are crocks! Increadibly comfortable too!! Also you cant see, but I wore my Giraffe pin. I heart giraffes!! So the proud of my size link it is something the AMAZING Rachel over at the Near Sighted Owl does every week, helping to spread body love no matter how big, small, tall or thin you may be. As a midrange curvy lady I have always been right in between my heavier friends and my thin friends, and while people think this is a great place to be but its unnerving for an insecure gal growing up. Now I am learning (slowly) to love my body as much at the GF does ;) lol and I should.

Im normally a bit of a tom boy but at work I like to girl it up some. Infact I dont think I have worn pants once yet! Lots of little dresses and skirts.... lol, its fun to be a girl every once in a while!

So the trip was AMAZING!! I'll so a full recap but as a teaser, it involved TWO dinosaur museums, camping in the desert, mountain trips, sushi and AMAZING food. Plus a good looking male companion and a trip to Temple Square. Dear Goodness it was a load of fun!!! :D

Proud of My Size #2

For those who don't know what this is, the lovely and amazing Rachel of The Near Sighted Owl is running a fat acceptance, love your body no matter what your size campaign. I have had a lot of body issues in my life, and my sister had as well. She's a 00, and for her people calling her skinny, bean pole, anorexic, etc are just as painful as calling a heavy person lard ass. Especially those who accuse her of having eating disorders. Sorry guys, turns out chasing horses for 12 hours a day and owning 3 large dogs will increase your calorie burning immensely.

So here we are, my sister and I, at one of her horse shows! she is a Riding instructor for a large barn and was taking her students. I'm in one of my favorite summer dresses, from Target a few years ago! Super fun!

So I have been commissioned for my first mural! :D Hurray!! I'm really excited! I'm going to be painting an 8'x40' wall for a local alarm and stereo company. In exchange the guy will do my alarm and kill switch!! :D WOOT!!! So rad! So there will be pictures and updates on THAT shortly.

Also signed up for twitter. I dont know if I'll actually be using it much, but I'm untidyvenus. We will see :) It will prolly be much like my facebook and just random comedic quote from Adam Carolla, Christopher Titus, Alison Rosen and the like.

So the plants are doing REALLY well. I discovered that putting red pepper flakes in the pots keeps the squirrels out- mostly. also the tomatoes are so close!!! Finally!!!

And kitten went for another walk yesterday evening. He also climed his first tree, and fell out of his first tree.... He's my special little guy ;) lol poor dump kitten

Pickles felt left out
