who doesnt want to do that?

2 things that irk me terribly.

Thing #1: When you take the time, especially first thing in the morning, to run the water in the tub to get it to the right temperature and then no matter what you do, when you flip the switch to turn it from tub to shower the first blast is FREEZING. I absolutely HATE that. It actually makes me feel sick to my stomach for a minute or two. Ok, and yeah, I understand the reason WHY it does that...the water has been sitting in the pipes since you (or your roommate) last showered and that water isn't warm. But still. So you say "Why not flip the switch before you climb in?" Because, if you're like me either A) you don't think that hard in the morning or B) you have a shower that if you move the curtain just slightly, no matter what you do, sprays all over the floor and the only thing that is worse that that cold shot of water, is stomping around on a soaked floor while you're trying to get spiffied up. Or even still C) eve if you do do that, because of the way the shower head sprays, it's still freezing for the first moment it's on your skin no matter how you play your cards.

Thing #2: Grocery store parking lots. I won't elaborate, because I'm sure everyone has experienced this at some point in time. For one reason or another lately, every grocery store parking lot I've been to has been getting worse and worse. Fuck groceries, I'm eating dirt.

And something happy to make up for all the ranting gloom: Celebration of the curvy and voluptuous celebrity.

thats what you want in a...

My mom and I are driving home from doing some retail therapy (her choice not mine) tonight at Keystone. It's raining out and super dark. I'm in the straight/right turn lane and there is a left turn lane next to me. Light turns green. I proceed through the intersection. I'm like 2/3 of the way through the intersection and mom yells "OH SHIT" and I slam on the brakes. What else would I do??? I thought the jerk (I mean, you always just ASSUME he's a jerk) in the left turn lane decided to go straight and was gonna plow into me. I turn to look at my mom and finally hear/see a police car FLYING towards us so I get our ass out of the intersection. Mom starts to yell (not like made yell, just being obnoxious like we are to each other, all in good fun) at me "why the hell would you slow down?!?" "MOM! What am I supposed to think when you just scream OH SHIT at me??!!" It was really quite humorous. after we finished bitching at each other, I realized we could have died and wondered (aloud) if dad would be able to return the massive amounts of Yves Saint Laurent makeup we just bought and get some money back. My brilliant mother (literally, she's a certifiable genius, just not always real bright) says "well, probably not since it would have gone up in flames with us."

That's my mom and I for you :) She also tried to get into a dirty sexual joke banter with me at dinner (at McAlisters', btw) and honestly expected to win. Right. HA.

Also, bought super cute jean skirt at Old Navy today. The best part? More than a size smaller than the last pair of bottoms I bought there :)!!!

TOmorrow=B-town for Fur's birthday and to see his show. Hopefully it stops raining by then.

in which all were overjoyed

Here are some pictures of the new dress. I'm really excited about it. Especially the size part :)
