Re: Wacky Wednesday Poll

  • 1. This white short sleeve top with a bit of ruffles on the collar.  Um I need a nude bra, I broke the underwear in the one I did have, and darn it, Bras are expensive!

    2. Cinnamon Cherios with milk, and V8 fusion to take my vitamins.  I'm not a fan of the cherios, I can't wait for this box to be done.

    3. Morning!

    1.) I have a really pretty shift dress that I got on sale at the J. Crew outlet. It is the perfect Easter dress. I have never worn it because it needs to be tailored and I am too lazy to go do it. It was an awesome deal and I love the dress. It just doesn't fit properly. 

    2.)Ummm... some honey-roasted cashews and some iced coffee. Not the best breakfast this morning.

    3.) Any time we are both awake and DS is not.

  • 1) Describe a piece of clothing in your closet you bought, but never wore. Why did you buy it in the first place? Hm, I have a skirt in my closet still with tags. It's a cute grey and black pencil skirt. I loved it when I saw it, but they didn't have my size. I bought a size smaller and so it's just hanging there until I can squeeze into it.

    2) What did you have for breakfast? Chocolate Shakeology with almond milk and frozen berries.

    3) It's Hump Day - Morning, Night, or all the time?Whenever the mood strikes! :D

  • 1) Describe a piece of clothing in your closet you bought, but never wore. Why did you buy it in the first place? A dress and it was too small and my efforts to lose weight didn't work!

    2) What did you have for breakfast? whole wheat toast (typically I avoid carbs but I'm in no mood to care) with peanut butter.

    3) It's Hump Day - Morning, Night, or all the time? all the time

  • 1. I have a few dressy tanks that I bought to wear under cardigans, but I felt like I was too pudgy to wear them. So, they're still hanging in my closet.

    2. I had Captain Crunchberries. Real grown up. I know. :)

    3. Morning. That's when I have the most energy to do anything.

  • 1) A pink, short-sleeved shirt that buttons down the back. It's too casual for work but too fancy for laying around the house so I haven't found something to wear it to yet.

    2) Cherry Vanilla smoothie

    3) Morning

    1) Describe a piece of clothing in your closet you bought, but never wore. Why did you buy it in the first place? A pair of gaucho pants that I bought in like 2003.  They were "in style" (I use that term loosely), but I quickly realized that they were ugly and that they do not work on short legged people.

    2) What did you have for breakfast? Oatmeal

    3) It's Hump Day - Morning, Night, or all the time? Morning or Midday. Nooners! I hate being woken up for it or as I'm going to sleep.  Also, don't fucking interrupt my reading.

  • 1) Describe a piece of clothing in your closet you bought, but never wore. Why did you buy it in the first place? Cute brown keyhole skirt (i think that's how you describe it). Its got little holes on the top layer. Bought it because I thought it was cute and then I gained weight before I could wear it

    Ha! This makes me laugh because I just found my gaucho pants from years ago. I actually wore them last night around the house and they were pretty comfy! lol. DH looked at me like I was crazy, but I don't care. :) Don't worry - I would never go out in public with them on.

  • 1.  Cute green underwear that matched a bra.  Well, my old roommate STOLE the matching bra and the underwear really aren't comfortable enough to want to outside the bedroom, so they just never get worn.  But too cute to throw away.  LOL.

    2. Fiber One Granola bar and a diet Mountain Dew. Breakfast of champions.

    3. Eh, I'm really not in the mood today.  Althought we do celebrate Winesday at my house, so maybe my tune will change after a couple glasses of cabernet. :)

  • 1) Describe a piece of clothing in your closet you bought, but never wore. Why did you buy it in the first place? A cute summer shirt, blue and white pattern, it doesn't fit because I need to lose a few more pounds.  It will be there for next summer. 

    2) What did you have for breakfast? Coffee, I have a yogurt but I haven't gotten a chance to eat it yet. 

    3) It's Hump Day - Morning, Night, or all the time? Night usually but not tonight, my system is rebooting as my husband likes to call it.

  • 1. I have a couple of summer dresses I bought with the idea that I would wear them, and I just have not. They are cute and casual, but I just don't wear dresses that often. Perhaps if/when I lose more weight, I will be more comfortable in them.

    2. Ummm...a banana. I think that's it.

    3. It's been so long that I can't remember...actually, I was always more of a fan of morning action.

  • 1) Describe a piece of clothing in your closet you bought, but never wore. Why did you buy it in the first place?

    A pair of khakis. Khaki is not a good pant fabric for my ass and I have no idea why I bought them. Momentary lapse in judgement?

    Reese's cereal

  • 1.  I have a ruffle-shouldered brown cap sleeve shirt from H and M.  I don't wear it because it shows my fat rolls.

    2.  Steel cut oatmeal with dried fruit (a really good Weight Watchers recipe)

    3.  All the time!

  • 1.  A blue dress with a blue satin cummerbund type thing around the middle.  I bought it for my stepsister's wedding and then saw a picture of myself in it.  I looked like a blue brick so I never wore it.  I hate returning things so it's in my closet until such a time that I need it and can afford to have it altered.

    2.  I make a weird breakfast sometimes.  I had a wrap that contained a chicken tender and pico de gallo this morning.  I had two of them.

    3.  meh

  • 1) I have a super cute brick red sweater dress that is snug in the hips/ass that I bought on clearance last summer.  Then I got KU and wasn't quiiiite pregnant enough to look cute in skin-tight yet.  I'm hoping this winter it will fit!

    2) Still working on it... think I'll go for some cantaloupe.

    3) Generally night.  I like wake-up sex in theory, but bad breath gets in the way and by the time you get up to brush your teeth... meh.

  • 1) Describe a piece of clothing in your closet you bought, but never wore. Why did you buy it in the first place? A coral, navy, and nude colorblock dress.  I pulled it out a few weeks ago and it made me look a litle pudgy in the middle.  Hopefully I can lose some weight and wear it soon.

    2) What did you have for breakfast? Oatmeal and them a spurged on poptarts (so much for losing weight to wear the dress

    3) It's Hump Day - Morning, Night, or all the time? Night...although I wouldn't mind morning on the weekends.  It takes too much effort to kick the dogs out of bed though, and there's morning breath.

  • 1) Describe a piece of clothing in your closet you bought, but never wore. Why did you buy it in the first place?  I have a couple of shirts that I thought I would wear for work, but then realized they were a little too tight or too low cut for work, and they were also too dressy for regular all the time wear.

    2) What did you have for breakfast? Half an egg bagel.  I'm going to have the other half in a minute.

    3) It's Hump Day - Morning, Night, or all the time?  Whenever.
  • 1) Describe a piece of clothing in your closet you bought, but never wore. Why did you buy it in the first place?  Too many to count. Mostly shit that I bought a little snug and then wondered why the hell I thought I could pull it off.

    2) What did you have for breakfast? A Fage Strawberry greek yogurt

  • 1) Describe a piece of clothing in your closet you bought, but never wore. Why did you buy it in the first place? I've got a few pieces like this... most are dresses. Most recently, i bought a blue with white polka dotted t-shirt dress. I bought it because it was casual and comfy and I could wear it to work with a nice sweater. I never wore it because it's fairly clingy and since i have a tendency to bloat at the drop of a hat, I just never feel comfortable wearing it.

    2) What did you have for breakfast? A Nos energy drink.... epitome of healthy right here.

    3) It's Hump Day - Morning, Night, or all the time? anytime

    1 - A black dress with red flowers that I bought 4 years ago but felt like it made me look matronly when I put it on. It's still in my closet.

    2. Nothing yet.

    3. Crickets.

  • 1) I'm horrible about buying crap and then never wearing it. Usually because it's the wrong size (either a little too big or a little too small), but it was SUCH.A.GOOD.DEAL.OMG. I am fully aware of the fault in my logic, but I can do nothing to stop it.

    2) Nothng. I forgot my Belvita cookie thingies as I ran out the door. I have coffee, though, so the people around me are safe.

    3) Hubby is definitely morning. I'm more night, but we manage to make it work. Heh. Honestly we make it work by rarely bothering. We are both just too lazy.

  • 1) Describe a piece of clothing in your closet you bought, but never wore. Why did you buy it in the first place?

    I have a knee length black sweater dress that I think is adorable. But I got it home and realized I'm still fat, and it shows that all too well, so....

    2) What did you have for breakfast?

    A smoothie with banana, almond butter, chia seeds, and almond milk. Yum :)

    3) It's Hump Day - Morning, Night, or all the time?

    During the day- I have to have showered and brushed my teeth at least, otherwise gross.
