Re: Friday game: BK/AK
Very funny! Laughing at the "drinks at home daily"!
I need more time to come up with my own....but one positive:
BK: Looked good, but still wouldn't wear bikini AK: Look somewhat passable, wear bikini and don't care what it looks like. Could be worse. Everyone's looking at my cute kids, anyway (That's what I tell myself).
bk: work clothes were taken to the dry cleaner/ak: I'm lucky if they are clean, even luckier if they are ironed
bk: a rainy saturday meant a good book, a movie and a nap on the couch/ak: rainy saturdays means scrambling to find something to entertain the kids
bk: shopping for yourself was an all day event/ ak: shopping for yourself means running into a store, grabbing the first thing that looks decent and is in your size and throwing it at the person at the register all while hoping your child doesn't knock over anything
BK: going on vacation involved making sure I had all the vacation-perfect accessories, including sundresses, new bikinis, just-right flip-flops, trashy magazines, fun cocktail supplies. Also involved spa-like personal prep for careful hair removal, doing my nails, etc. Vacation began the minute we left the house with a relaxing drive and stops along the way.
AK: Vacation involves making sure the KIDS have all the right stuff. My stuff is thrown together at the last minute and I pack whatever I happen to have. Nails/hair removal etc. is often done in a huge rush on-location. There are no cocktails at all (see ticker). The drive is NOT a relaxing adventure.
BK: size 4-6
AK: size 10-12
Amen.
BK: talked to self in grocery store. AK: mutter same stuff, but pretend to be talking to baby and look less like a crazy person.
BK: scatterbrained. blamed it on work. AK: still scatterbrained. blame it on kids.
BK: traveling for work was stressful. AK: traveling for work more relaxing than vacation.
