I have nothing to post

I was trying to think of something and I'm at a loss.  I have no idea what's happening with news, so no current events topics.  I don't have anything exciting planned this weekend except the hair removal.  And all I can think of for personal stories is that I had to explain to Twan what plaid was the other night (he had a plaid shirt that I referred to as "that plaid shirt" and he said, "this isn't plaid" which led to a side eye of epic proportions).

And I have to speak at a faculty meeting today, at which time I will probably be publicly slaughtered.  Higher ed faculty are Mariah-like divas most of the time, if you didn't know.

And someone help me decide if I should just get a few inches taken off my flowing, frizzy Janis Joplin hair if I should chop it off.  I have thick pube hair, so the chopping is scurry, but I probably have enough for locks of love.  what to do?

  • I'm running on empty when it comes to topics to discuss too.  My brain is too wrapped up in trying a work problem these days to think about much else.

    Mr. Spiderman heard the word "chillax" on NPR this morning and asked me if I had ever heard it used before because he hadn't.  When I laughed at him, he said, "How come I haven't heard this word before?"  And I told him it's because he lives under a rock.

    In order to weigh in on your hair, I need a picture of it as it is right now and a picture of what you're thinking of chopping it to.

  • Well if Christin would upload her pics like I asked, you would have something to look at.

    Speaking of which, she also tried to get me to come to Boston.  But that weekend is the exact same weekend as a family wedding in Florida.  I think we're bailing on the wedding, but oh my god, if my ILs found out I went somewhere else that weekend, the shizzle would hit the fan.  Christin is like, Oh your MIL will never know.  But I have been at too many family dinners where Twan blurts something out he wasn't supposed to tell them and I do that slow head turn with huge eyes thing at him....it's too risky, trust me.

  • me neither.  I'm achy and boring and entirely too wrapped up in the fetus in my belly to think of anything else or be entertaining.

  • Can't you invent a work related reason to come to Boston?  Twan doesn't need to know the truth.

  • If it was for work, wouldn't they pay the airfare?

    And are you suggesting I lie to my husband?  I would never lie to him, unless it's about my fertile time.

  • My psychiatrist thinks I'm a spaz. She noted yesterday that I was very animated and speaking much faster than "normal.". After that I kept trying to slow my speech, which felt really unnatural and funny.

  • And Fent, I did upload them to photo bucket last night. I'll share them this weekend. And for the record, you had your hair pulled back all night you tool.

  • See, this is why combining your finances is stupid.

    Groomz, it's not my fault you never check your email.  And that you assume you have any choice in the matter to begin with.

  • You'll be happy to know that Karma is biting me in the ass for making a stink about the comfort vs fashion shoe debate.  

    i bought a nice pair of strappy gold heels as per the brides request a couple of months ago (buy early for best selection, right?) but she sent me a very hinting e-mail the other day that the other two bridemaids had bought shoes together and they are bronze.   being an accomodating bridemaid (and shoe lover) i said I have no problem buying a second pair of shoes.  So she sent me a picture:

    http://www.feetfirstshoes.com/ca-eng/women/sandals/casual/68938994-niokiNY

    I HATE them.   a) they're plastic and it's a WEDDING

    b) they have no heel and I'll look stumpy and

    heelcorn) I BOUGHT BEAUTIFUL $100 SHOES

  • Those are flip flops not shoes and they are awful.  I would just tell the bride you don't want to make the flip flop sound all the way down the aisle.  If she is a true "bride" she will know that it would be tragic to do so.

  • The bride is wearing them in white, which i actually have no problem with as her dress reaches the floor.  Ours are knee length and I'm 5'2"...hello Dumpy

  • Well then on wedding day just pretend to have forgotten the flip flops at home and go with the first ones, or you could just say you tried to get them but they didn't have your size in the color she wanted. The shoes you picked are to fantastic not to wear and the flip flops look supa cheap I wouldn't pay $30 for them.
  • I like your shoes a lot better, obviously, but I don't know if it's really such a big deal for you to wear the same shoes as everybody else.  You can put your pretty ones on after the pictures.

  • I like her more than i hate the shoes.  She's the bride, I'll wear them.   I'll just slip into something more uncomfortable after dinner and pictures

  • Those shoes are fug, but I would wear them for a good friend. I'd grumble about it behind her back though.

  • I'd put up a huge stink if they were $60, but they're on sale for $30 so that puts them in acceptable-but-sulky range.

    There is no reason to spend $30 on flip flops.  None.  And this is coming from the girl who spent over $500 on a single pair of shoes.

    All this hair talk.  At my hair appt earlier this week, I got an awesome shag (yeah, baby).  I'm into it bc it the layers lighten up my normally very heavy, thick hair, and even when I don't dry it, it looks good bc it's got a little wave to it.  So, I recommend a shag.  The end.

    I am wondering this too.  Checks?

    Those shoes are something else.

    I'm channeling TSD today.  I finally went to the gluten/free dairy free bakery and bought some cupcakes.  I'm enjoying my second and last one right now.  I definitely should have gotten more, because they're awesome.

    Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
  • Those flip flops would look right at home around the pool of a retirement community.  They are truly hideous!

    Yeah that's right my name's Yauch!
  • i know.   I'm going to spend a lot of time untagging myself on Facebook after this wedding.
