I have a tendency of saying “I’m old” a lot. I started thinking that people seem to get into that habit a lot earlier than they should. I remember my parents forever telling me they were too old to do many things. They told me they were older than most other parents and didn’t have the strength and stamina that my peers parents had. However, at 32 I find that I am often saying I’m too old for something. I am not old. So I think the “I’m old” trend is really people’s lack of honesty and vocabulary. In the spirit of my youth here is a list of things I should say instead.
When someone asks to go dancing/to a movie/or for drink and the answer is “No” and they ask why, instead of saying “I’m old” tell them the truth!
You are what you feel, but can become what you think. Think responsibly.
Why in the world are cable bills so complex? My husband and I just sat for about 30 minutes trying to figure out our bill. So much college between us, yet still so much confusion.
I have absolutely no direction for this blog except to do what I want. With that being said, I have a bone to pick. Recently, I have found myself between jobs. My job search has been uneventful, despite saturating my market with all things me. At one point I came across a job posting for Front Office Receptionist at a Chiropractors office. The job paid slightly better than minimum wage, but not much. This job is not in my area but I’ve been venturing out because any job is better than no job. While reading their requirements, they actually listed “head shot”. Why on God’s green earth is that important?! I honestly thought that as a society we were beginning to move past looks and embracing individuality and uniqueness. I am not naive and know that beauty is important to most people, but I thought as a people we were expanding what beauty means and what it looks like. How can a photograph accurately present whether or not someone is beautiful? It will only prove whether or not that person fits the employer’s preconceived idea of what they find attractive. That, honestly, is disappointing to me. We’ve all been in situations where we meet someone and over time their attractiveness flourishes by learning who they are as a whole. In my opinion, that’s one of life’s greatest experiences. Why would anyone purposefully limit themselves to only seeing the superficial? Maybe I’m missing something….
Would you want a head shot before an interview? What would you gain from that?
I am curious about everyone’s comments, struggles and tips etc for curly hair issues. I feel like this naturalista movement has really taken off. I had sported my natural locks for YEARS with no accolades but had recently straightened it for the past few months for work (much MUCH easier to do in the morning). However, I got some sort of urge to do the big CHOP. I cut off all the straight and left the curly.
So far it doesn’t look like much, but that’s because my hair has tight curls in the back, frizz on the sides and wavy in the front.
So my question is what works for you? Show me ur huuuuuur!
So it’s been a long long time since I’ve blogged. I’m a terrible blogger. I forget this place exists and tend to just have random posts in my head rather on the interweb. In these past few months…ok YEARS I have graduated and am now gainfully employed. Which means more time to post….shhhhh don’t tell. So enjoy the posts to follow.
1. After my shower I finally put on some lotion.
2. I have my own bowl of cereal all to myself.
3. Middle of the night heart attack averted as there was no child’s face inches from yours just standing there in silence.
4. I said 4 curse words and did not feel guilty.
5. I have not heard the word Mario all morning.
6. Caillou’s Holiday Movie is not blaring in the background.
7. My feet are up.
8. I do not smell poop or feel the need to sniff butts to validate an suspicious behavior.
9. I’m writing in my blog!
10. I feel no sense of obligation to post the expected, “I miss them.” or “I’ve never felt a love so strong.” I’m glad they are having fun with grandma and granddad and I’m more glad giving me a morning off!
I’m the worst blogger in the world. Not by content, but by frequency. Although I have not tried anymore new fads…..yet! I will be. To be fair no one has bothered to ask me to do anything…so my hiatus was really your fault. It’s okay. I forgive you. Tonight I will be making banana bread. That’s not so special because I’m actually kind of great at it. I’ll post pictures just to make you all jealous. And to show that I’m not always a f-up when it comes to domesticity.
