Should we expect politeness?

Earlier this week I was on the bus and the bus driver said:

"Excuse me we have a pregnant woman boarding the bus can someone in the priority seating section please give up their seat? Preferably a man."

I completely understand being asked to give up your seat for a pregnant woman. I guess what I don't understand is why the bus driver specifically called out all the men in that area. Is it really appropriate to expect a man to give up his seat to a woman? I am always grateful when a guy gives up his seat to me but I would never expect him to automatically give it up and I certainly wouldn't judge him if he sat down instead.

Girls:
If a seat opened up on a crowded bus/train and you and a guy are the same distance from it would you expect the guy to give the seat to you?
Would you offer it to him?

I asked my guy twitter followers earlier this week "Would you give up your seat to any woman on the bus/train?" and some of the responses were...


So guys what do you think, should it be just a polite gesture to give up your seat or should we expect it and be disappointed when we don't get it?

Lovin' this week

Few finds over the last few weeks.

Book covers that create a pixel like collage on your bookshelf. If Bryan was a dork like me I'd be all over this.

A ring that has a hidden message on the inside. This one has "Marry me?". This would be a really cute way to propose to someone. :)

Heinz ketchup finally embracing their product. I'm glad they finally switched from a pickle on their bottle to a tomato. Makes sense huh? You'd think, but it took them 100 years to figure it out.


via Advertising is good for you

Adorable needle felted bird from LaurenAlane. This photo is too cute for words.




Hope you all enjoy!

BRYAN DO NOT READ!

So as I said just a few posts ago, I love doing small things to show Bryan I love him. Well, Valentine's day is just around the corner and I have a few ideas but I'd love some input from my reader(s). I'm not a freak when it comes to v-day but I do like to show him how much I care (cheaply). Last year I decorated his room with about 50 hearts that all said a reason why I love him. When he came home from work that night he was stunned to find his room decorated.





Anyone have any ideas for me for this year?

Everyone needs a puggle day

I haven't seen grass in over 3 weeks. There has been this permanent snow/ice blanket over Chicago and it won't go away. As I walk to work everyday in my birkenstocks my entire life flashes before my eyes every time I slip on the ice (often). Today, I needed something to cheer me up and there is one thing that always makes me smile...my pugglez.
Enjoy I hope she makes you smile!

Her first picture March 2008 (she was always a slut)



One of her first walks...



Probably my most favorite photo of her



When I drive she sleeps on my lap and puts her face inside the steering wheel handle



Just adorable

Love is all you need...

I'm a big believer in doing little things to show someone you love them. To me the little things really go a long way.
Last night I made Bryan an amazing sandwich. I truly am a sandwich artist. Well, as if making him a sandwich wasn't enough last night, I decorated it with love flags. Now, some of you may not know what a love flag is (because I invented them) but it is a cute way to show you love someone when you make them a sandwich! Simply take a toothpick, paper, and a red marker and you'll end up with an amazing masterpiece like this:



TA-DAA!

Bryan also shows his love in amazing ways. He just got me a signed vinyl by my most favorite artist, thao nguyen, for our anniversary.



He scored MAJOR brownie points for this.

Where have I been?

I know, I know, I haven't been blogging recently. Well, I have a pretty good excuse. See, I'm a twelve year old boy. Not really, but I do play a lot of video games. Recently (this week), my addiction has been Fallout 3 on the PS3. It's not really a girly game since I blow stuff up instead of go shopping at the mall. It's not usually my typical game style but I do like (LOVE) it.
Before Fallout I was addicted to Little Big Planet. LBP is a marioesk type of game with level game play. My favorite part was my lovely little sack girl. I don't have a pic of her but here is a picture of a sack boy I'm sure she'd swoon over.


Adorable right?!

Here are my favorite games on each system I own: (Yes, I currently have all these systems because I am awesome)

PS3
• LBP
• Kingdom hearts for the PS2
• Resident Evil for the PS

Wii
• Super Mario Galaxy or Harry Potter

Xbox360
• Bully

Nintendo
• The game that was like the Olympics on the power pad. My brother and I used to play this ALL the time. On the event when you had to run we would sit on the floor and hit the pad buttons with our hands as fast as we could. Apparently, I have always been lazy. If you can figure out what game I'm talking about I'll give you a $1.
• I could also say the Little Mermaid here.

Super Nintendo
• Mickey's Magical Quest

Nintendo 64
•DUH...Golden Eye do you really have to ask?

So I think that I have proven that I am a giant loser. Now, it's time for me to take the bus home and go play some more Fallout.

Just so you know...

shhh...it's not true though...

Twitter Friends

I don't know what this is or what it means but it is pretty and fun. I'm obviously easily amused. I like my name in the middle of a crisscross of lines and a swirl of twitter buddies.
See what your charts look like at Twitter Friends.

Lovin' this week

I'm starting a new section of my blog called "Lovin' this week". I am a google reader sharing addict and because I share all my amazing items with about 5.3 people subscribed to my reader I figured I'd bring the best of the week here to show all my 19 readers. Hope you all enjoy!

Star Wars ABC cards





These are adorable alphabet cards. Who wouldn't want to bring their children up with wookies and storm troopers?!

Fuji Instax Camera



I'm a big fan of Polaroid cameras and it broke my heart last year to hear that Polaroid is going to stop making film. One of my hobbies is Polaroid transfers and I won't be able to do it anymore when I run out of film (only 4 packs left). This camera seems like an awesome alternative for all Polaroid needs.

Oui and Non necklaces



I really like these necklaces by trystbykerry ($22). I wish it was a reversible charm so I could answer questions with it.

The awkward life and times of Lovesfool

I thought I would bless everyone with a few pictures from my past. Please let me preface this by saying...I have always been awkward.
Me as a fat baby.

My brother as a ginge book reviewer.




Two of the MANY sibling portraits we have together. We HATED eachother back then.



And finally the family portrait where we look like the Addams family. Please note my father's semi-mullet.




Do you have any embarrassing photos from when you were a kid?
