Cleaning Out My Camera

Pictures are a big part of my family.  My dad loves photography and at any family event, big or small, he is there with his camera.  Eventually, as I started loving photography too, he would hand me the camera and unwittingly I became the unofficial family photographer; a terrible thing for an attention-loving youngest child as I was no longer in any of the photos.  My sisters would probably say it evens out since my whole childhood was documented extensively. 

Do You Trust Politicians?

Do you trust politicians? 

I can’t help but smile when I type that title, and no, it’s not a rhetorical question.  Although it seems almost painfully clear what 99% of people would say: “FUCK NO!” or some variation of that. 

These Boots Are Made For Walkin'

Moving sucks.  But changing climates is fun because you get to shop.  I could go broke with all the winter stuff I want to buy.  Today I was looking at boots on Zappos, my favorite shoe website (free next day shipping and the easiest returns ever).   I want them allllllllllllllllllllllllllll!

What the #$%^*(@ is THAT?!

Look, I hate to be a bitch.  But this is terrifying.  I really can't stand Christina, never liked her, and as petty as this is, I love these pictures so much.  She looks busted.  And now I have to go do a good deed to fix my karma.

Morning Makeup

This morning I pressed snooze until it was 7:00am, the exact time that I should be leaving my house.  This is part of the reason that I might never let my hair get long again; all I had to do was throw on the clothes I had set out the night before, brush my teeth, and run out the front door.  And I totally made it on time. 

Laziness gets such a bad rap, but I like to think of all the ways that it helps me in my life.  Laziness drives me to simplify things and one thing that I have brilliantly simplified is my makeup routine.  I have gotten amazingly talented at putting on my makeup in the car.  I know that’s terrible.  But it takes me less than a minute and when I am able to put on mascara without looking in the mirror it really makes me feel like a woman.    

Compliment Vomit

I have a problem.  It’s called Compliment Vomit.  When I think something nice about someone it just busts right out of my mouth before I even realize.  I just spew my adoration onto unsuspecting passersby. “I love that sweater!”, “Amazing bag, love the sparkles!”, “Great Hair!”

I know what you’re thinking: doesn’t sound like much of a problem, Jen.   But that’s because you haven’t asked the tall, thin, redhead cashier at Costco if she’s considered modeling and she gets all uncomfortable and looks at you like you should stop hitting on her.

You Best be watchin' who you're callin' the Worst.

So, good ol' Gawker made a list of The Worst 50 States in America.  New York was 50.  Arizona was 1.  What the fuck.  Seriously, New York needs to lay the fuck off of Arizona or we are going to have some problems.  I feel like I need to start getting all spirited about AZ and stock up on some coyote and cactus T-shirts to rep in the City.  But I am afraid I will get things thrown at me.  Isn't NY supposed to be about openness and acceptance? Between Gawker and Morris I have had enough.   

Blogger's Block

Took a break from blogging while M was here, I have some stuff I want to write about but my brain is not working right today.  Hopefully I will be overcome with creativity tonight or tomorrow. For now check out some brain-numbing links.

Trying is NOT hot 

ew ew ew Don't get me started on the heels on the beach.  And is that not THE most padded bikini top ever? I can't take this. They are both horrible.

I like her, and it's mostly because she dresses like this.

DRIVE yourself to the theater and see this now!

Last night I asked Jason to go see a movie and then I took a nap before we met.  Some people might know how dangerous this is.  You would know this because at some point you made plans with me and I slept right through them.  I am an extremely talented napper.  Once I am down, not a lot can get me to stir.  I set multiple alarms, people will call, text, shine lights through my windows and I am still snoozing.  The movie started at 8:00pm, Jason text me at 7:56pm to tell me he was outside the theater; I was in bed.  Luckily I live close so through bleary eyes I threw on some clothes and ran out the door.  When Jason saw me he said, “Nice pants….I think.”  This cracked me up later; I knew he was going to say something about my pants.  They were tribal print leggings and I am so in love with them.  We missed the previews which is a totally bummer but we made it just in time for the opening credits. 

I am so glad that I pulled my lazy ass out of bed because Jason and I saw Drive last night and it was soooooooooooooooooooooooo good!  I absolutely loved it. 

Happy 77th Birthday Miss Bardot!
