Thursday Confessions
For those of us that want the shake up, but don't want to mess with politics.
Mine is that I totally give the side eye to girls wearing Uggs or other furry boots in post-75 degree temps. BUT I got a pair of fake Uggs a couple of weeks ago and they're on today. It's 90 degrees outside and I'm wearing fur boots. In my defense, I haven't left the house.
Next?

Re: Thursday Confessions
::hangs head in shame:: I'm in Uggs right now. In my defense I'm at the airport and flying to Chicago where they are expecting a foot of snow, but yes it's 90 and I walked out the door in Uggs. I am not however wearing them with shorts or a skirt.
I *hate* any wintry fur-lined boots with a skirt/shorts. For fashion, that is. At home? Do what's comfy.
Confession: my as of yet unborn child owns TWO pairs of fake uggs. And no, I did not purchase either one.

If your baby* turns out to be a girl I have some leopard print fake uggs to pass on to you
Confession: I'm wondering if DH would buy that I have to work late tonight - and get a pedicure instead...
ETA: My grammar is awesome.
TOTALLY acceptable. I'm constantly in Uggs at the house.. my tootsies get chilly!
While I was in Austin, DH pretty much completely packed the entire house on his own. Couches, beds, closets... etc. I'm appreciative, and feel bad he had to do it on his own.. but he left the kitchen for me since we're taking it with us instead of shipping it.
And I've been procrastinating BIG TIME on it. He's totally going to end up doing a lot of that as well. In my defense, I'm really slammed at work. And I'm tired! Its been non stop for weeks around here!
I'll back you up on working late!!! He HAS to believe me.

I don't "get" pinterest. Tried it for a couple days, I just don't understand the fascination.
My dog did well in surgery but has to be fed one spoonful of food every 30 minutes or so for a couple days. I have people who could watch her Saturday but I want to watch her. This means my shower in Dallas can't happen. Which means I get presents without having to play shower games. Um I kind of feel bad but kind of don't. I'm a horrible person but eh.
I got a new car this May and the plan was for my H to keep driving his car for three years until mine was paid off, and then he would get a new car.
Well, he got hit last Monday and we're 99% sure it's going to be totaled. Although it ran really well, it was old and a piece of crap so there's no way that we could get a semi-reliable car for the amount that the insurance company will give us. So it looks like we're going to have two car payments - whipppee! I'm scared about how this will impact the mortgage we were planning on getting later this year.
Ditto. I refuse to join.
I always thought the name "Uggs" was slang for "Uglies." The company who makes those shoes is totally laughing all the way to the bank, right?
Actual confession: When I started dating again (late fall, like Octoberish), I was. . .let's say. . ."matched" with a fella who I like to call Captain Awesome. He is totally dreamy, and he seems like an idea candidate for the future Mr.GuavaGuy. Literally, he seems to have everything I'd put on a list.
Naturally, I emailed him right away and he didn't respond. Not "no thanks," nothing. I don't even know if he received my note. Not long after that, I realized I was not presenting myself in a way that really reflected myself, so I made some changes. And I recently made additional changes.
I have also realized that Captain Awesome seems to be involved in two groups (one fun-related, one business-related) where I have some contacts and could possibly maybe sortof track him down. Well, at least I could make a good effort in the fun-related group, if he actually is a participant. The business-related group is trickier, since I don't want to out myself as a stalker to any business associates. But I don't really have a plan for what happens if some six degrees of separation person ends up knowing him. The group is not one in which I would participate.
And there it is: I am considering stalking a dude. Because emailing him the original way I got in touch with him would be weird?
I am actually blushing in my office right now.
Rarely Updated Blog
I didn't have a confession before...but now I will confess that I LOVE Guava stories!
I agree, another email would be weird after he didn't respond previously. Better to have a not-so-unexpected meeting through the fun group and then come dish about how it all went down!
I guess I can also say that I don't like Uggs, but mainly because they are completely flat at the bottom. I think the lack of any lift/heel makes them look incredibly stupid, although they do look super cozy regardless of the stupid flat bottom.

I can't wait for DH to go play soccer so I can catch up on DA instead of having to watch ESPN. I'm over basketball.
ETA: And I love my fake Uggs. But it does get freaking cold up here, so there a necessary evil. I definitely didn't understand the appeal when I lived in AZ and TX.
Are you working on your "surprised face" in the event that you do run into him through your friends? It should look something like this:
