Spotted

I love all things Gossip Girl... and Blair is my favorite! In this week's episode, so looked FABulous at her birthday party. Love the hair. Love the blouse. Love the makeup.

If you have an extra $1,990, you too can look like Blair. BUT, if you are wanting the top to look just like hers, then you have to make a trip to the tailor.

But my main question here is how she got her make-up to look that way. It is absolutely perfect. I am going to be on a quest to perfect that look.... tips or suggestions?

A day in the life...

Sample phone conversation from yesterday morning:

Mr: You left the milk out this morning.
Me: Did you put it up?
Mr: Yes.
Me: Why are you calling to tell me this? Get back to work.

I am not the only one that gets these types of phone calls – right?!?

Counting down the days...

I am one of those women that does not like being pregnant. People are constantly asking me “do you just love being pregnant???” And when I respond with “no, not so much…” I think I throw people for a loop. They do not know how to react to hearing that. Don’t get me wrong – I am excited about what will be here in March, just not excited with what is going on right now. And this is why I am not a fan of pregnancy….

My feet feel as though they are being smashed into pancakes with every step I take and they are numb a lot of the time.

Heart burn. The only other time in my life that I had it was when I was drinking Diet Coke like it was water.

Clothes. Who exactly designs these things? They are hideous.

I limit myself to one caffeinated beverage a day… I want more.

And I want wine.

Just because my stomach is sticking out, that does not mean you have free liberty to touch me. Hands off.

I am big and I do not like it. Yes, yes, yes I know I am growing a human life, but I still do not like being big.


Any advice to help me make it through the next couple months?

With this ring...

Man / Woman.

Woman / Man.

Woman / Woman.

Man / Man.

Who cares?!?! Love is love and if 2 people are in love and want to spend the rest of their life together, then more power to you! Just when you think the country is moving forward, things like Proposition 8 in California (and likewise propositions in other states) get scrapped.

Maybe someday everyone will be free to marry the one they love.

Spring and Fall?

This may seem like a silly question, but I am going to ask anyway...

Do you wear socks with loafers? I have a couple of pairs that I like, but I am always conflicted on what I should wear on my feet. If you go barefoot, the shoes start to stink, plus that looks funny in the winter. And if you wear socks, well that just looks weird.

Right now, I am wearing these J Crew driving mocs, but since it is about 80 in Dallas, that is fine.

Body Shots

No, not those body shots. But, I really could go for a glass of wine right now....

Own up to it

Why do people hide behind the veil of “Anonymous” when posting rude and mean comments?Thanks to the joys of comment approval, none of these will see the light of day, but it just does not make sense.

If you have an opinion – stand by it. I have mine, you have yours. No biggie…. But, if you are going to say something rude about my husband or me, then take your comments elsewhere.
