you really grind my gears
this friday is muchly needed. after a week of waiting with baited breath to hear back on a job....
i'm still waiting.
which really grinds my gears, peter griffin.
here's another list of things that grind my gears.
1. old ladies that wear tank tops
this is a phenomenon that was first introduced to me at usu. i had a professor. she loved tank tops. she loved tank tops in the winter. she loved tank tops in the spring. she loved them always.
it wasn't like she had a nasty body. in fact, she had better arms than most of us, but she was over 35. 35 isn't old, but for the love of all things sartorial, wear some sleeves. (cough...kelly rippa...cough.) and i find it's mostly business women that like to rock this style. and it usually involves a turtleneck. wtf? a tank top turtleneck? it's just unprofessional or weird or i don't know what--it's just...old lady arms. cover them up. especially in professional settings.
i can't find a good picture of a business woman tank top, but here's kind of what i'm talking about. it's just wrong.

***update! i found a picture!***

that is EXACTLY what i am talking about here, kids. there's no way you don't agree with me. no way.

pining for spring
it's time for spring now.
i'm sick of waking up to snow and clouds. i'm sick of scraping connie. i'm sick of wearing coats. they're too hot when i'm in the store, and i'm too lazy to take them off in the store because then i just have to put it back on again.
there are only 16 days until my birfday. make it happen, will ya, mother nature?
in the meantime, i will dream of these:

and these

and wearing this cute little dress

and convincing you to get one of these with me

do come swiftly, springtime. i need you.
