update 08/18/10

So no much new has been going on with me. I could make drama out of some current events, but I prefer to just let them be and accept them and move on. But let me relive them once more:

(1) Some friends are calling me a sucky friend. I know I can be bitchy and mean sometimes but that is just who I am and I thought friends were suppose to stick by your side in the good AND the bad.

(2) Facebook crush of mine deleted me from his account. Ohh well, he was kind of a jerk to me anyways, so I will be over it.

(3) A pleasant blast from the past (my first love) IM'd me and we are talking again? but nothing more than just buddies. I cant deny the occasional jealous bug, but he has a girl and is committed. Im happy for him.

(4) My current "guy friend" is wanting us to quit seeing each other because it is too much like a relationship and he don't want that. Pfft...his loss! You don't get the cow for free here LOL.

(5) I'm breaking out. I'm 26 and I still have acne prone skin. It must be all this damn heat, sweating, and stress.

So basically that is most of it. Call it drama, call it whatever. Tomorrow I am taking my nephew who just turned 18 to a movie and some dinner. That will be a good break from all this. Plus, its almost the weekend again...means a check and shopping!

Until next time...

stay MERRY

boring clothes?

typical Monday-Friday, Saturday clothes

I have been told more than once by my nieces that I have a boring style. I would have to agree. I am very conservative with my clothes and it was only until earlier this year that I even began to shop more for feminine clothing and even wear dresses on appropriate ocassions. But even though I have cute clothes in my wardrobe, I don't wear them. Partially because I have to dress comfortable and able to run around and be able to bend down with out worrying about my feet hurting at the end of the day or accidently flashing some poor unsuspecting patient. See, I work at a medical office doing front office stuff, but I dont have to wear scrubs, so I dont. So monday-friday I wear my presentable/casual work clothes (always pants) and ugly (but comfy) shoes. I work saturday mornings too, so I wear the usual combo, and I just stay in that clothes all day to do my shopping/errands. Thus, sunday is the only day you might see me in a dress or pretty girly outfit in the morning, then I get uncomfortable and usually change by noon. I'm just not comfortable in dresses, short shorts/skirts, heels, or short sleeve anything. That is why winter is my FAV season. Sweaters, scarfs, pants, boots, coats...un-lucky for me though it never gets really too cold here in south Texas.

But I am trying. On the rare occasion that I have a date or somewhere to go, I will try to be more feminine and not always wear jeans/shirt or blouse/boots or sneakers when I go out somewhere. I do have a quinceanera (mexican equivalent to sweet 16th celebration but at age 15!) to go to this saturday and I'm planning on wearing the dress from the previous post. Then sunday is a family dinner, so I might dress up (I might be the only one there dressed up, but ohh well) since I would feel more comfortable around my family than anyone else.

It is a slow process...but baby steps, baby steps :)

Hidden Purchases

There it is...the hidden purchase. My guilty pleasure. The dress I had bought a few weeks ago (ROSS $22.95) and later felt guilty for spending money on a dress I had no ocassion to wear it to or any reason why I HAD to get it, other than the fact that I wanted it! I felt guilty about it and left it in the bag and put it in a corner of my closet. I think I wanted it out of my sight for a while so I wouldn't feel so guilty about it. It is not even my style of dress. I hate halter tops and would have to find a cardi to wear over it to hide my hideous arms. Ughh...This is not my first offense either, I have another dress also hidden away and some high-heel boots I have stashed away. Same situation, the dress is spaghetti straps (not my style) and the boots hurt my toes.

Why, ohh why do I buy items that are not meant for me or my body. Darn my female shopping gene LOL. But for real, I gotta get this shopping urge under control.

But I just found out yesterday that my family was invited to a Quinceanera this saturday and I might go tag along. Finally I will put a guilty pleasure purchase to use! I keep telling myself that I will eventually wear all my cute fancy dresses, even if it is to go grocery shopping :) or at least have a fake celebration/outing that would require me to play dress up.

But for now, I will probably keep my hidden purchases in that corner of the closet until I find a use for them. Isn't it really sad to buy pretty things and not wear them :( sigh
Any suggestions or stories to tell about similar situations. Please tell me I'm not the only crazy shopper out there.

IMPROVISE!

HAHHAHAHAH I LOVE MY MOTHER...SEE HER IMPROVISED BABY STROLLER! :)
