I Confess - Oh My God Becky, Look at Her Butt

Why not have the world's most random post title?

I Confess- I am the oldest person (other than my boss) and only girl that works in my department. It's a good thing I have the same sense of humor as teenage guys ; )

This picture has absolutely nothing to do with my job or the guys I work with, but you're welcome

I Confess- When someone is practically riding on my bumper in an effort to make me speed up, I sometimes start driving REALLY slow. Hey, if you can be a jack hole, so can I.


I Confess- I'm somewhat convinced that a random person sleeps in my car at night. It's the only plausible excuse for my car smelling like cigarettes when I get it in some mornings.



I Confess- My initial reaction (in my head) when someone compliments my outfit is always "Dang! I should have taken a picture for my blog."
No one told me this outfit was cute, but it was the only pic I could find that I hadn't posted already

I Confess- I got really into and really over "Word With Friends" in approximately 2 minutes. Apparently I don't know that many words.



I Confess- I was pretty convinced the song "Rack City" was a commercial. I changed the station after 5 seconds every time it came on then saw it on a top 40 list... oops. But honestly, it's not the most creative song in the world. Maybe I'm just not gangster enough.



I Confess- I'm nervous that Bethenny Frankel is going to end up divorced... just because it seems like that's what happens to EVERYONE on reality tv. I've been watching too much "Newlyweds" recently.



I Confess- When someone told me I "come across as very young" on my blog, I wasn't sure how to react. I mean I knew she meant it as an insult, but I wasn't really offended. I am young. I try to keep things light, happy, and most of all funny around here. So sue me.

Psh what could she possibly be talking about?

A Few Thoughts on Fashion Blogging

I love a good style/fashion blog.

I follow a lot of them.

But some I love much more dearly than others... and here's why.

I think that style is something very personal. Your style is something that is completely up to you. What shirt and pants to wear, what you pair with what, how you accessorize are all decisions that we get to make on a daily basis. The combination of those decisions says to the world "hey, this is me."


My Original Fashion Board

I love that some pretty cool ladies are posting those looks on the internet. However, if your look is basically just a combination of a bunch of overpriced designer fashion, I probably won't be following your blog. I mean if you have enough money, it's pretty easy to walk into a store and drop some dough on a shirt and bottom meant to look great together.

My Spring Fashion Board

The bloggers I love are the ones who can make 100s of outfits out of their own closet full of moderately priced fashion. Of course, I like many of you, LOVE



Sydney of the Daybook.

But here are a couple other ladies who make fashion super fun...




Ramsey of Love,Ramsey


And, I'm including Sabrina of SabrinaSays even though she doesn't claim to be a fashion blogger

Are there any fashion bloggers you think are truly fab?

P.S. I in no way, shape, or form meant to offend anyone.

When You Take Muscle Relaxers- A Cautionary Tale


When you take muscle relaxers...

... the pain in your neck will be a distant memory as you slumber like a baby.

... the alarm you set will not disturb your peaceful rest.

... eventually rolling over and glancing at your phone and noticing the numbers have somehow reached 7:05 without you knowing will jolt you out of bed.

... you will throw on the clothes you haphazardly "picked out" the night before and run out the door praying you didn't forget anything.

... you will become enraged when a white van makes you drive 55mph for 20 minutes of your drive to work.

(you will embarrassingly have to admit you flipped off said van)

... you will text your boss to make sure walking into the class he signed you up for 20 minutes late isn't totally horrific.

... you will still be ashamed when everyone gives you that "where have you been" look.

... you will be very curious what you look like for the rest of the class since glances in a mirror didn't fit into the schedule that morning.



... you will leave the class feeling very relieved that 1. you didn't miss much and 2. other people showed up much later than you.

... you will hesitantly accept when your boss asks you to watch the sales floor while he seeks nourishment since the opener is still recovering from surgery...

...even though you are wearing this



... you will say little prayers no customer sees you before your boss returns.

... you will finally leave work realizing wearing no make up wasn't so bad, you woke up with no time to even think about being tired, and still have the whole day ahead of you to accomplish stuff.

Oh and you will take muscle relaxers before bed again, because you got some really awesome sleep ; )

Valentine's Evaluation


I have to know...

Was Haterade being served at your local Starbucks yesterday instead of coffee??


What do I mean? Well...

If I saw one Facebook status, tweet, etc. along the lines of "quit posting your Valentine's Day stuff!", I saw ten



Isn't social media a place to share the things that make us happy? the things we'd like to save somewhere?

If that is in fact the case, you better believe that when I am happy in love, my social media outlets will reflect it.



So why aren't we happy for the people who were celebrating and sharing their love on February 14th? I know, I know... "It's a Hallmark holiday" and "people should show the people they love how they feel everyday or just because."

I don't disagree with those statements, but I am still a big February 14th fan. Isn't there something nice about a whole community sharing love?? I think the day has a warm, fuzzy feeling, and what's not to like about that?



So how did I, a single, working girl, spend my V-day? At work- duh! But don't you worry... I wore a big fuzzy pink sweater, gave cards and candy to my parents and grandfather and a chocolate rose to my boss to prevent any "Hangriness." I asked most of my customers about their love-ly evening plans, and if that wasn't enough...

I spent my evening watching the Newlyweds (Nick and Jessica) DVDs that I ordered from Ebay (this counts as a confession), and indulging in a bit of chocolate. And you better believe I had all my John Mayer jams on repeat as theme music throughout the day.


So... keeping with the theme of loving LOVE, what is your favorite love song??? Mine is this...

(eeekkk look how young and innocent Mr. Mayer looks)

Spread the Love y'all.

P.S. one of my best friends became a fiance on Sunday! Congrats Lauren and Brendan!
