Hiya sistahs.. I just couldn’t resist a weekend sneak peek.. Ya I know I am mean LOL but you LOOOOOOOOVE me anyway no?

Meet senior-ita MAGDA. I just love saying M-A-G-D-A… I know you’re all saying it out loud..LOL MAGDAAAAAAAA

My mom is of Hungarian descent and I just remember her saying MAGGGGDAAA (ok I just wanted to say it again) alot… So I had to name this SENIOR-ITA “you know what” (magda).. lol

I won’t take up much of your time today.. Nothing interesting to report aside from the fact that I washed and cut up red/yellow and orange peppers and celery an put them in nice transparent containers for me to munch on. blech LOL. I’m exciting right?

So here she is… MAGDA (hehehe) in ALLLL her glory. I love the quote I paired with her too. Did I ever tell you my story about my Kate Spade purse? Ok hold on a second. I will tell it to you..

doesn’t she look like a Magda? LOL.. and her squooshy boobies? LOL. Thank you Elaineabella for your colouring WIZARDRY.. I mean really.

Ok so quick KATE SPADE story (not random.. it’s her quote above LOL)… So Ryan took me to New York many many years ago.. (Have I mentioned that my favorite place in the world is Manhattan?).. Anyway of course we are on the street and of course we were solicited by many vendors and of course we succumbed to temptation… I NEEDED THAT BLACK KATE SPADE PURSE!!! So we bought it. I know.. so bad.. feel terrible.. it’s so not the right thing to do.. I mean do you think MAGDA would buy a purse ON DA STREET in NYC? I think not! LOL

ANYWAY… I get the purse and I am PREENING… thinking I am THE COOLEST SISTAH on the planet… flashing my Kate spade purse everywhere I had a chance to FLASH it. So I show my friends my AUTHENTIC kate spade purse and they start laughing UNCONTROLLABLY. First of all, the purse no longer had the Kate Spade label on it.. you know why? cuz it UNSTUCK from the purse.. AND ended up on the sleeve of my jacket. and guess what it REALLY said (the label)… Kate SPAT. Can you believe it???? (omg I am actually laughing my head off writing this). I walked around PREENING.. thinking I am so ALL THAT and a bag of FULL-FAT-NON-WEIGHT-WATCHER-CHIPS.. and the label.. on my bag.. said Kate SPAT. HMPH.

Have a PHENOM rest of da WEEKEND sistahs.

and PLEASE PLEASE note.. these stamps are NOT YET available. I am simply being CRUEL and MEAN and TORTUROUS. But I promise you it will be all worth it for you in the end. Trust da BELLA.

Don’t forget to leave a comment on this post or ANY of the other sneaky peeky posts for a chance to win M-A-G-D-A or any of the other Senioritas or Uptownie.

Mwah to da sistahs who feel so sorry for my purse and me.

Wow a DOUBLE whammy sistahs… have you been spoiled this week or what? LOL

So now that the kids are settled in school and I have a bit of time for myself and lots of time for my sistahs My BFF and I decided to start Weight Watchers.. (AGAIN. hmph).. this time though I will do it..LOL (if you scroll back far enough you will see that I have done it 687 times already LOL).. but this time….. So if anyone would like to buddy up, I am sharing my journey on Instagram and FB as well.. but I love me my Instagram :).. you can find me under this handle @stampingbella. I know.. it’s a REHEALLY creative name..LOL

so here is my BFF Melissa walking in… she was SO mad at me taking this picture LOL… but hey that’s what friends are for, no?

So our journey begins. Any great recipes, ideas, blogs, websites, foods etc would be SO appreciated 🙂 or any inspirational stories too. I read EVERY SINGLE COMMENT and will start responding within the thread.. so stay tuned.

Ok so the reason I tell you this story is because I have another seniorita to introduce to you… You ready?

MEET….. senior-ita GLORIA

Now Gloria and her sentiment can be interpreted in many different ways :)… Like.. “ech screw it, eat the piece of cake …LOL”… or “YOU CAN DO IT” and still succeed… or simply, do what makes you happy :).. the image and the sentiment don’t necessarily have to go together. She so makes me laugh as I feel like her every day.. like “will it show on the scale if I am standing and eating?”.. sitting is a different story ..LOL.. I just love these characters because not only are they amazing Senior-ita images but they also bypass age.. doesn’t EVERYONE step on the scale with one toe? Doesn’t EVERYONE eat cake? Doesn’t everyone SHOVE CAKE DOWN THEIR THROATS WHILST STANDING UP AND KICKING THE SCALE OUT DA WINDOW? LOL.. I know I do 🙂 do youuuu”?

So there you have it. My Gloria 🙂

And now for BELLARIFIC FRIDAY!
