just saw a girl walk by me in acid-wash leggings, those pointy cowboy-boot-shoe things that were popular in the 90s, and a COLOR ME BADD t-shirt (not even joking).
i have a feeling what is in reality super out-of-touch, just came off looking like ironic hipster.

the hard stuff
you know what will probably never cease to amaze me?
the absolutely crazed-to-the-point-of-making-myself-sick state i manage to work myself into when i’m inventing things to worry about.
like not knowing what my friend will say about me maybe not taking the job he recommended me for …
…until i sack up and just freaking email him and ask. and he says, “no, of course i...

it still hurts
just as i was begging greg to stop dancing like such a maniac because we were on a really small dancefloor…
“please chill, you’re going to KI-” …<swift kick from his foot to my shin>… “someone.”
i do love his animated free-spiritedness, and the fact that he’s willing to dance at all (i count myself lucky for that)…
but the big...
homeward bound
we’re waiting for our flight to take off.
i can’t wait to pass out. it’s been a looooong weekend. (very, very fun though.)
there is an absolutely precious three-year-old in the seat in front of me. he intermittently blurts out, “hey mommy?” … pause … “i love you.” so freakin cute.
i’m SO very excited to get home and scoop up my own...
wedding weekend
which wedding is this? i’ve lost track… i think we’re on the fourth one this year so far.
the trip has gone extremely smoothly so far. g wasn’t too thrilled with the timing of the flight i booked, so we decided to show up early and attempt to fly standby on the earlier flight out to dtw, which was successful.
i hadn’t made a rental car reservation b/c i felt...

just how many bibs you need for a baby.
i was given a 10-pack of brightly colored bibs at my baby shower, but then i ended up getting so many (or so i thought) others that were even cuter (2 3-packs, 2 that came with outfits, 6 that came with other gifts - for a total of 14 bibs) that i figured i had plenty and returned the 10-pack.
it turns out 14 bibs? still not enough bibs for my...
awesome response to the post about 'the game'
lauren: that is a terrible game!
lauren: but i was totally just playing
lauren: and there were a few people i was happy to find had duplicate birthdays just so i could choose to not save them ;-)
lauren: but ps. other than extreme circumstances, people with children were saved over people without.
lauren: so maybe i should say... thats kind of a great game
an email from a friend
Judi and Tricia, This morning, I was playing a game. I was looking through my facebook friend’s birthdays. If people had the same birthday I would decide which one I would save from a burning building. Then I got to October 15th. I had to stop playing. I couldn’t choose between you, and somehow thought you would both like to know that. I made some “tough” choices before...
since i know i'm not the only one
not the only one with an allergy to listening to my voice mail. i’m so glad i can share that affliction openly, now that i know i share it with others.
apparently the company i phone-interviewed with almost 2 weeks ago left me a voice mail about coming in for a follow up.
but i didn’t know that, so last night i told my friend that i hadn’t heard from them at all. he just...

this weekend was all about ...
downtime
greg had expressed some, uh, mild frustration (ok, fine, serious displeasure) for my constant need to FILL our weekends with plans and never sit still. he had a point - when i looked back at the calendar to see when was the last weekend we had no plans, it was in april. so this weekend, we made no plans.
reconnecting
as if being in constant motion wasn’t a problem enough,...
"what's in a name?"
my mother-in-law paid me a really lovely compliment the other day.
we were on the subject of ‘the second kid’ (which came up b/c we just found out a friend is pregnant w/ her 2nd - NOT because we’re anywhere near there yet)…
and she said to me, “you’re going to have a challenge coming up with another name as cool as harley’s. we all just love it so, so...
how i wore it
this is way overdue, but here it is anyway - the follow-up on my request to jaclyn for how to style a pretty casual jersey skirt in the office.
i had been sitting on the skirt for a while even after i saw what jaclyn put together, b/c i really liked what she picked out and i was waiting to pick up some of those things, or pieces like them.
but one morning in a desperate search to put something...
proving he's (sort of) listening
greg just called me to tell me he just walked SARAH JESSICA PARKER around his building (he’s building a high-end residence on the UES).
apparently she’s thinking of buying it, and she’s only one of the rich-and-famous that have come through recently. last week he met a saudi prince.
anyway, he’s telling me how nice and pleasant she was and how she told him his cast* was...
Georgie Girl: 10 Things I've Learned Since... →
7. It does not matter if you wrap your daughter in a pink blanket, stick her in a pink flowered stroller, and write “GIRL” on her forehead with Magic Marker — a stranger will still come up and say, “He is so cute.”
THIS. arrrgghh.
one forty plus: Soap Operas →
In the fictional universe of Soap Operas, do you think Soap Operas exist? Most movies acknowledge that movies exist. Most TV families own a television. So do Soap Operas play against a backdrop where somewhere in their universe on television a Soap Opera is playing? And if so, don’t you think at…
haha!!
jason, would you care to weigh in on this subject?

a toms follow-up to come...
georgiegirlnyc said: Hmm, I was considering buying a pair because they really do look like a perfect summer shoe. Might hold off. Will you give us an update once you’ve worn them a few more times?
sure, no problem!
ps - reply to a reply! huzzah!!
the TOMS review
upon opening the box:
wow, these are a lot brighter yellow than i thought they’d be - but that’s fine.
after putting them on for just a few minutes:
hmm, yea, these definitely do run kinda small. these are definitely …snug.
after wearing them out for the morning:
whoa, apparently toms are made for people with NARROW feet. where the fabric ends to create the open toe...
my blackberry is not cooperating and has been out of sync with my yahoo and gmail accounts for about two weeks now.
anybody have any suggestions to fix this?

did anybody see that episode of grey’s where karev figures out that this chick (demi lovato, what the hell was she doing on grey’s? go back to the disney channel!) has, like, a hole in her ear drum so she hears everything SUPER LOUDLY AND IT’S MAKING HER GO CUH-RAZY?
i feel like that girl!!

to follow up...
i wrote the thank you note, i ignored the gaffe (though i apologized for my phone cutting out during our conversation), and my friend apologized to me.
i haven’t gotten a response yet, but the inside story (from the friend) is that i was liked, and they plan on bringing me in for a real interview.
so, more to come on this subject…
(p.s. i really love the word gaffe.)
future employment gaffe
alternatively titled: in which i freak the fuck out
so i just had this phone interview/screening with a prospective employer. i wasn’t really looking, but a friend of mine (who has been speaking highly and enthusiastically about the project he’s been working on for about a year and a half), just found out that his company got a big cash infusion for his project, enabling them to beef...

I kept looking at Charlotte on her birthday finding it hard to believe that this entire human baby was INSIDE MY BODY only hours before.
