HELP
EEEEE!!! i’m so excited!
i have a 2nd ROUND interview!!
BUT
as my husband said when i called to tell him… “you better start figuring out what you’re going to wear NOW!”
i love this man
when they called me for my first interview i FREAKED-THE-F-OUT. i broke my no buying apparel in March rule and bought up the BR Outlet and brought it all home to figure out what...
dress me
i have so many items of clothing i’ve never worn, and refuse to give up on, but have been in my posession for years.
i need Stacy & Clinton to show me how to wear it.
can someone please start this service? someone could come to my house and help me put outfits together from my wardrobe. or maybe just a place i can send a photo of an article of clothing with a quick caption of...
there are plenty of days i only leave the house to walk the dog.
sadly even on these days i just hope and pray that the WNTW cameras aren’t lurking around the corner.
then again, a $5,000 shopping spree with someone explaining to me how to look my best in clothes would be AWE.SOME.

I’m sorry, but WHAT? I am 5’7” and I weigh about 150 lbs!!!!! And I look very healthy( read: not fat)!!!! 115? What? That is all.
EDIT: Perhaps this young woman is VERY young and has just gone through a growth spurt? That is the only healthy way I can account...
how a clearance can break your heart
i went out on one of those errands the other day. it was a quick trip to get a $10 item that resulted in me hopping through 4 stores and spending over 20x as much.
i ran through Macy*s just to look at something. i’ve had a pair of TopSiders on my mind. but the store closest to me doesn’t carry them, they do however have a clearance rack up. a clearance rack that was 75% off of...
me: (on the phone) hi, i'd like to arrange boarding for my dog
girl on the other end of the phone: oh, we don't do boarding anymore
me: huh, what? i just boarded him there the other week. um, okay, well.. then...
girl: well, who is this for?
me: peanut [last name]
girl: what kind of a dog is he?
me: a lhasa
girl: oh, hold on a minute...
girl: ...yah, sorry, we don't do that anymore.
(i hang up the phone totally confused)
me: (to my husband) did our dog just get booted out of boarding school???
okay, so what happened in Russia is tragic. whenever something like this happens it’s tragic but that’s not my point here.
my point is that i’ve never thought about Russian trains, or trains from most countries for that matter, and i’ve never happened across a recent photo of Russian trains but all of the media covering in the past day has shown me Russian trains.
is it...

i could not agree more
good advice
never wear underpants with lace around the waistband to pilates.
your skin gets mashed into every little hole of the lace and it ITCHES! it’s super annoying, almost enough to make you leave class and come back commando.
i’ve learned this before but i somehow forgot in the gloomy skies and earlieness this morning

A Letter
Dear Girl in the ligth blue Tuscon,
It was not me that was driving in two lanes at once. It was not me who was too busy texting to watch the road or have the most basic amount of concern for fellow drivers on the highway. It was not me who was not aware of her speed and then hit the gas in a crazy rage when the people stuck behind finally began to pass as 10mph below the speed limit is...
watch it
what a fantastic evening in on a cold and rainy friday night. i could have pictured the popcorn too but i’m just so excited that our wedding video is FINALLY here!!
Disappointed Realist: Organ donation myths →
imnotthatkindofgirl:
Myth No. 1. If I agree to donate my organs, my doctor or the emergency room staff won’t work as hard to save my life. They’ll remove my organs as soon as possible to save somebody else. Reality. When you go to the hospital for treatment, doctors focus on saving your life — not somebody else’s. You’ll be seen by a doctor whose specialty most closely matches your particular...
movie talkers
my husband talks through movies
at home
in the theater
it doesn’t matter
i used to go to the movies with him and as soon as he’d start talking (DURING the film) i’d get all eye-rolly, slump down in my seat from embarassment, try to stuff popcorn in his face to get him to shut up, there were even a few times i SNAPPED and “SHHHUSH”ed him all loud like.
i wondered...

nice try FB
typically Facebook recommends a bunch of people to me that i don’t really want to be friends with.
it’s friends of friends of friends, or people i went to HS with, or someone who is related to someone i know. i get that. i don’t want to friend them, but i get why it might recommend that i do.
but Facebook is REEEAAACHING now. it now suggests entire lists of people i’ve...
so when you start your Tumblr and it walks you through each step there’s one place where it asks you to enter your zipcode, saying it’s so other bloggers can find you via region (i think).
what i’m curious about is… how do you find Tumblrs by region? i’d love to read other bloggers in my area but have no clue how to find them. anyone know?

as i mentioned we attended our first HOA meeting yesterday
and now i’m on The Board
i’m still not sure how it happened but i’m kind of liking it. does it make me powerful? or just old? that is yet to be determined.

grand slam
i get a few too many catalogs from retail outlets, most of which go in the recycling bin without ever being thumbed through.
so when this catalog arrived in my mail i was pleasantly surprised, i’d never seen it before
LL Bean Signature
and i have to say, for me, LL Bean Hit It Out Of The Park!
i normally skim through the Bean catalog and say “yah, cute, nice, maybe in 20...

Is Crisco better than Creme de la Mer? →
jesssica:
“At bedtime, I put Crisco on one half of my face (did I just say that) and Crème de La Mer on the other. (The creator of La Mer is probably rolling over in his grave right now.) Cut to 9 hrs later. The La Mer side was plumper, and perhaps slightly softer than the Crisco side, but in my magnifying mirror, the pores on the La Mer side looked clogged (bigger).” The Crisco side was much...

another notch in the “you’re a real adult” belt
isn’t this Oprah’s last season?
why does it seem like it’s all repeats? i swear i see a new week of episodes every 6 weeks. i don’t get it.
Oh Susana
i bought this Susana Monaco dress at the end of last summer in black as well.
it was an unbelievable deal!
and, as is a requirement for 90% of my dresses, it has pockets!
i’m excited for the summer so i can wear it but i’m still debating what to do with the belt (the one with all the bubble/baubles on it) because i think it needs some pop.
maybe a raw edge fabric underneath? in ivory?...
and why is it that the things you buy on a ridiculous deal are the things that last?
why is this?
i can spend $4 on something and wear it every day for 10 years but if i pay $120 for it it falls apart after the 4th dry cleaning
amazeballs
my goal is to incorporate this word into my speaking life. it rolls off my fingertips to type but i find it more awkward to actually say.
maybe i should refocus on trying to lead to life a life that makes saying “amazeballs” fit.

missin'
why is it that the things you’re so excited to use, that you just bought, go missing?
i swear that if i buy something awesome and wear it once, it disappears!
on a related note: i’m currently searching for a pair of DKNY underpants that i wore once and LOVED. last time i saw them they were headed for the wash… i’ve been searching for 2 months, this may turn from a search & rescue to recon...

“MTVSUX”
– license plate i saw the other day. really? THAT’S the message you want to put out there as your first impression with complete strangers?
i mean i agree (except for 16 and Pregnant, oh and The Hills) but i guess they just feel more strongly about it than i do.
