What I'm Wearing To Work

Thank you Express for suggesting a completely work appropriate outfit for me.  I look to your style to maintain a youthful vigor at work and now realize that I've been silly wearing anything under a blazer.  You really are an inspiration to me and my wardrobe.

Now seriously - why doesn't Express give actual outfit ideas for people to wear to work?  Why not a skirt and cute top with a necklace or something?  Who in their right mind would wear an entirely white outfit to work (Dr.'s who wear white robes aside).  Especially women - for 2 reasons.  The first is because white is a notoriously unflattering color.  The second reason you can figure out on your own.

And not to be weird or anything, but Express is super freaking expensive.  I understand that maybe if you're in college and just looking for a way to be trendy and cute you MIGHT wear this, but without even checking online, I'm guessing that blazer is at least $150 and the pants are $60.  Unless you're parents give you lots of money for clothes then it's kind of silly to expect a younger (read: broke) girl to buy stuff like this.  You need a job to buy their clothes, but if you wear their clothes YOU. GET. FIRED.

Random Thought Du Jour

Whenever I hear someone describe something as "boring" I always think of the smell that boiling water and noodles makes when you're making Kraft macaroni and cheese.

Ok - I've officially run out of thoughts.

How is a girl to get any work done

When it's so pretty outside!  The thick flakes make my inner child want to run outside and stick my tongue out to catch the biggest, fattest snowflake. 

The still picture doesn't capture it as well as seeing it in person... here's a video too.

 HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!

If I had a dollar...

This is something no one talks about, but I find it to be super amusing.

I absolutely get a kick out of it when I enter the bathroom and notice that someone is in there... you don't hear anything though.  Just silence.  Their door is locked while other, vacant stalls, are open slightly.  You see their feet underneath the door to their stall.  You know what they WANT to do, but can't because there is a guest set of ears in the bathroom.  Yes, you know what I'm talking about.

No one wants to make that sound with others present!

We've all been there, you're just hoping/praying that you're in there alone so you can do your stuff and be on with your life.

This isn't a perfect world though is it?  Especially when often times you'll find bathrooms that have multiple stalls in a room that echo's with silence and sound.  I understand that financially it makes sense to throw a bunch of stalls into a room - but really it's so much nicer when you're at a place that you don't have to share walls with another.

One story I can say, that isn't too vulgar, is one time I had to go number 1 (yes, this is quite appropriate and accepted among many a'bathroom goer).  Us girls are used to hearing that sound.  Hell we all go in packs - well I don't usually, what is that about? I once had to pee for so long, that it actually sounded like it was an inappropriately long pee.  I cut myself off, mid-stream, because someone else was in the bathroom and I was for some reason worried about being judged FOR THAT!  Well, I walked across campus to another building and finished my business.

Nowadays, I don't give a crap (pun intended).

But speaking of restrooms and saving money - can someone please explain to me why this is a regular thing at bars?

The Double-Seater

We may never be fully free to "go" with others in the same room.  But dammit if I don't find it amusing whenever it's not me locked behind that stall.

NOTE: I am aware that I have some new readers/co-workers to my blog.  Is this TMI?
