Punk Kids

Today outside of my work, I saw some punk kid bend down in the middle of the crosswalk.  I thought he was picking up a quarter he found on the ground.                              
By the way, this is totally me. I can't seem to walk past money on the street.

Anyway, I was wrong.  That little Chuck Bass-tard was placing a 2-inch nail on the street sticking straight up.

 

He was being mischievous and was trying to pop a tire.  I picked it up and almost yelled at him to not be such a low-life scum. 

I didn't say anything because I didn't want him to know where I work and try to rob me or pop my tire.  Even if he did slash my tire, joke would be on him because I have an amazing warranty on my newly-purchased Goodrich's.  

I just want to know what is wrong with kids these days? No respect, no consideration, always wanting free stuff (whoops, me again), always whining, yelling, cursing, getting pregnant, selling drugs, fighting, and being just plain rude.  Can we please go back to when kids had manners?

PLEASE!?

Whale or Mermaid?

I really love this story:

A while back, at the entrance of a gym, there was a picture of a very thin and beautiful woman. The caption was "This summer, do you want to be a mermaid or a whale?"

The story goes, a woman (of clothing size unknown) answered the following way:

"Dear people, whales are always surrounded by friends (dolphins, seals, curious humans), they are sexually active and raise their children with great tenderness.
They entertain like crazy with dolphins and eat lots of prawns. They swim all day and travel to fantastic places like Patagonia, the Barents Sea or the coral reefs of Polynesia.
They sing incredibly well and sometimes even are on cds. They are impressive and dearly loved animals, which everyone defend and admires.

Mermaids do not exist.

But if they existed, they would line up to see a psychologist because of a problem of split personality: woman or fish?
They would have no sex life and could not bear children.
Yes, they would be lovely, but lonely and sad.
And, who wants a girl that smells like fish by his side?

Without a doubt, I'd rather be a whale.

At a time when the media tells us that only thin is beautiful, I prefer to eat ice cream with my kids, to have dinner with my husband, to eat and drink and have fun with my friends.

We women, we gain weight because we accumulate so much wisdom and knowledge that there isn't enough space in our heads, and it spreads all over our bodies.
We are not fat, we are greatly cultivated.
Every time I see my curves in the mirror, I tell myself: "How amazing am I ?!

Fall is a Blazer

I have recently been really into wearing blazers. It's my new thing. I think because I don't have to have an entire new outfit to look chic....just a sweet blazer to top it off!  Here are my favorite fall blazer picks!

I am about to buy them all...
