Technology Blues

I was the first girl in middle school to date someone off the internet. Maybe not really that impressive today with all your matchme.com and e-hitmeup.love, but back in my day it was taboo! Of course in middle school dating was taboo. I use to be with the technology times. I was the one that turned of the dial-up modem sound on our computer so I could sign-on at night after my parents went to bed! I'm the reason you have parental controls everywhere on the computer.

Today I found out that my Dad joined Twitter, which I refuse to use. His first tweet was, "I have to go pee-pee." Also, even though I knew about it, it scared me when an unkown bell sounded from my computer with a pop-up. My dear best friend from Atlanta Katie Johnson sent me my first "G-Chat." Its like Facebook chat, which is like AOL Instant Message which originated from Chat Rooms, and those were created by perverts. Well maybe perverts weren't the first, but chat rooms are like a blue light outside a swamp house and flies are the pervs.

I don't know if I am behind the times, or if I'm sticking my heels in the ground and letting the times go on without me. I'm scared to think about my kids laughing amoungst each other one day:

Mom's just changed her manual door locks to the new retnal eye scan! Remember growing up when we all had keys and would lose them? Then all the effort it took to turn the key and the knob. Sheesh, I wonder if Grandpa Stan and Grandmema had doors with keys or if keys were invinted back then.

mormon much?

 Okay so here is the description: 

-Enjoy a departure from the norm with this fabulous short sleeve knit dress featuring a wild jungle floral and wildlife print, a deep back keyhole opening, back toggle button closures, and a contrast woven floral cutout neckline.

- 32" approx length from shoulder to hem

-95% rayon, 5% spandex, Hand wash cold

okay but where in there does it mention the collar that is clearly from the pattern of one of those I-made-it myself-because-I'm-in-a-weird-religion dresses?

come on folks. let's call a spade a spade. 

Knuckle Sayings

I really want a knuckle ring that says something. I always think of Gwen with her Rock Steady rings (there are more than one set). I don't know what mine would say. The first thing that came to mind is Eggs Benedict, interesting.

were these the betseys you were willing to kill for?

they are on the list baby. maybe we should go in on the three for 99 shoe sale. smartbargains.com, folks. i am ADDICTED.

so let's just say my love life is complicated...

...and let's just call him Agent 99 from here on out. 

the mom shirt

i like to call sarah and explain to her why i look like a crazy person on any given day. today i had on a high waisted black skirt, grey over the knee socks and brown moccasins with the shirt above, affectionately nicknamed "the mom." A dollar never bought so much happiness. There are brick fire pits and picnic tables with bottles of ketchup and even a fly with that little loopy dotted line behind it to indicate it is being rendered in mid-flight.  

Let's start thinking about our mothers. let's not wait until may. what was your favorite of your mother's shirts? have you come to identify it as a mom shirt, when really it was just a shirt before you were her kid? or does a mom shirt really only become so when it matures into a  blouse?

Have you seen this Chloe shoe?

Have you seen this Chloe shoe in a size 10! I am desperately seeking this shoe. Does anyone know the name or what season it came out? I am pretty sure it was fall of 2007. I first found these pieces of heaven on Gala Darling .com for Fabulous New Year's Eve Outfits 2007. I fell in love with them again from a small picture featuring The Cherry Blossom Girl on page 30 of the Feb/March issue of Bust in the article "from paris with love." It would make sense that she owns them because she interned at Chloe! After looking up her blog, The Cherry Blossom Girl: One, I want her everything, I'm assuming her accent too if I heard it (each blog entry is in English and French) and Two, They have this awesome shoe in a heel and a wedge. I will find you!

The Two Best Friends

Tonight in discussion of thetwobestfriends.com. Kathleen brought up one of the reasons why we are so close, it was one of the reasons we didn't talk for a year. It does crack me up just a little that Kathleen was so visibly mad at my leap freshman year of college from shoulder length hair to a buzz cut. After she jokingly chided me about that "haircident" (hair plus incident), I thought it was very appropriate to create this visual interpretation.
