would you...

this has relation to social boundaries-- but at the same time its totally lefit!

would you....

• wear a shirt to the place you are traveling to? (ie... wear a shirt that says LA while boarding the plane to LA)
• tell someone their button on their bust is unbuttoned?
• tell someone there skirt is tucked in their underwear?
• wear denim on denim?
• go up to a stranger in restaurant or airport and tell them how attractive they are?
• let the person in the dressing room next to you that the outfit they are trying is not good looking?
• read the tabloids in the grocery line?
• lie that it is your birthday just to get a free ice cream at a restaurant?
• i could keep going and going......
• use the bump -it?
• buy something of an infomercial?

Facebook Friend-aholic

Ok, it's been a while, but hopefully we can get this blog back on track. So...I've got a new one for you. You know those people on facebook, who are pretty much addicted to adding friends? You know...you meet someone at a party briefly, and that night you get home and they've already added you as a friend on facebook? What is the deal with that people???? Are you so desperate for real friends and looking popular that as soon as you come into contact with any human being, you have to go and add them as a friend on facebook?



I can't even tell you how many friend requests I've gotten from random people I don't even know. Just this week I got one where I had one mutual friend with this person, and I'd never heard this persons name or seen this person before in my life. Do people just go through other peoples' friend lists and decide, "oh...I think I'll add THIS person today!" I seriously don't get it.



Then, this morning I awoke and checked my e-mail, to find that I had a friend request from my brother-in-law's, girlfriend's, cousin. Whom I met once about 6 months ago. I thought she was the most annoying person in the world then...so WHY would I want to be friends with her, 6 months later? Please tell me this??? Does she just want to spy in on my life now that I've decided to actually talk to the brother-in-law's girlfriend? (I'm sure there have been some stories about me shared). Sorry honey...you're not having any part in my life!!!! And neither are any of you creepers who I have never met in my life, so stop trying to add me as a friend if you don't know me! Thank you!

social boundaries

it has been a long long time! i don't think it is for a lack of things to say, but really a grand decision of what is qualified to go on the blog.

but i have come to realize a couple of things when it comes to boy/girl socializing and dating. i don't know if it is just a type of people or what.....

we were in a social setting of boys and girls. as a group of single girls, we were getting to know one another. and then suddenly there was a girl that asked about how this guys line of work. ok typical. then did you get your degree to do that? ok, still ok grounds. then the bomb... how much do you make?

SOCIAL BOUNDARIES????

ok scenario two. again in a social setting to get to know other people. specifically a bon fire. a lot of people didn't know each other. so i believe the purpose of these gatherings are to meet new people. but again, there were several people who just sat there and didn't say anything. i don't understand? lets get over ourselves and meet people!

and i guess the last example i saw lately was restaurant etiquette. i don't know if this is social boundaries, but i think it is most definitely related. i think just the way people act at a nicer restaurant (ie... not applebees). just the constant sigh because of the high priced plates. or the dumping of the butter onto the table in order to use the dish to eat off of. i don't know what it was, it is just so interesting to me.

i guess we were all raised differently, but at the least, you think we'd know our social boundaries!

i think some people get to tied up with trying to impress the opposite sex, that they forget their social boundaries.

could it help?

is dating really a game? i think it kinda is. oh till the day that the game is over.

but until then.. maybe this handy dandy worksheet will help us out!

Why Didn't Anyone Tell Me???

So...I went to Subway yesterday (inside a Walmart), and while listening to some girls behind me talk about dating, I thought to myself...why didn't I ever think of that??? So, here goes. Girl #1 is talking about who knows what. The guy she likes doesn't like her back, she's been pursuing him, he's not responding, yeah yeah yeah, we've all been there, right??? So, girl #2 starts to talk. She's telling this story about the guy she's dating. He's great, he's wonderful, she loves him, the whole she-bang. But, when they talk about "the relationship", he says, "I love you, and I love spending time with you, but I'm not thinking about marrying you anytime soon". She says ok, that's cool. But she wants to know where this is headed, and he says he'll think about it. So...instead of sending him on his merry way after "the talk", and allowing him to think about things and figure it out (which is what I would think to do)...nope! Not at all! He stays the night, they sleep together, and in the morning she says, "so...have you figured things out yet?" I've been doing it all wrong! Apparently you don't do what I've been doing! You let him tell you he doesn't even think about marrying you at that moment, sleep with him, and then hope that by doing that, he'll have the answer that he wants to be with you and marry you. Makes perfect sense, right??? Right....

the center of life

you can't live with out it of course. it always seems to become the center of most things. firesides, social events, linger longers, or just even the movies, or when you hang out with people. FOOD is like a necessity of almost every aspect of life.

so when it comes to dating, eating in front of boys always seems to be one of those situations that you think twice. what do you order? you go to a place you really really like, and you want the full meal, with a big sandwich (that probably could feed two, but lets be honest it is so good that you want to eat it yourself), a side of fries (bottomless), and coleslaw, and of course you need a good diet coke to take of the edge of the first date.

but then you think about who is sitting across from you; mr. beautiful. what would he think if you ate the entire plate of food? so... the girl opts to eat a salad.

and dessert.... OF COURSE, you are starving. a "love it" size from coldstone ice cream would be right up your alley, but again, you gotta be modest. i'll take a kids size with one mix in. at the end of the night we all know, that we'll go home and scrounge for something to eat.

WHY? why do we do this to ourselves? i saw a girl take an entire pack of starburst, and down every last piece in a 2 minutes flat. but you know if mr. beautiful were sitting next to her she totally would have rationed her pack of starburst over several hours, or at least half of the pack, and the down the rest in less than 45 seconds.

i would love to say that i love food to much that mr. beautiful wouldn't interupt my eating habits, but i think it is part of being a girl. LAME!

food is good, appreciate it! don't be ashamed of eating. i figure the bigger the girl, means that she either cooks good or knows what the meaning of good food is. therefore, mr. beautiful will know he won't be eating ramen noodles for eternity!

don't be ashamed of ordering what you want, eat it!

Braids galore!

So, I've recently become a huge fan of the braiding of the bangs. It's something simple, takes just a few minutes, and just adds that cute little feminine touch to your hair! I think I don't go a day without seeing some girl with it in their hair now, and I have to admit, atleast 3 days of the week I, too have one in my hair! Here's a few examples!
