vampires, mid-drifts, and other such things.

Because Justin and Jasper both go to bed early, I've recently taken to watching old shows while I do things for work. The latest installment I'm slightly ashamed to admit, is Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Can we just take a moment and appreciate how far fashion has come since the 90's? Remember the mini backpacks? And what about spaghetti strap mid-drifts, tattoo chokers and overalls? And the best, those black elastic sandals? You know the ones I'm talking about.

Aside from the amazing fashion, there also is the cheesy violence and did they really need to make the vampires so grotesque. Twilight has given me such unrealistic expectations about how sexy vampires should be. Because before Twilight, all my vampire expectations were so realistic.

Perhaps I should try reading at night instead.

let's hear it for the boy

It is weeks like this that make me realize how very very lucky I am to have such a wonderful husbad. For the last few months, I've been working on a team to restructure our entire training program at work. And it is a lot of work. Meaning a lot of long hours that extend late into the night, even once I've made it home.

It's times like these that I am so grateful for everything Justin does for me. I'm not sure what I'd do without him.

Actually maybe I am: the dishes wouldn't get done, the floor would never get vacuumed, I would forget my prenatal vitamin, and I would forget to eat. And drink. And I'd have to make my own popcorn. Which would be a total tragedy, because mine is never as good.

a fresh perspective.

So I'm sitting here and Heather hands me her laptop and says, "here honey you right me a post"

what?. . . .First I laugh. . . .then I think, "I can't write a post for her blog shes all witty and fun and I am boring she'll lose all her followers in one fail swoop". .. . .third reason I shouldn't be writing this particular post. . . . . ready for it. . . . I'm not a fan of the outfit. 

I told Heather that last one. (fill free to boo me ladies)

Now Heather is beautiful and adorable but sometimes she wears crazy things. 

At this point I've learned not to be the sitcom husbands that says, "you look great" when she asks, just because I think that's what she wants to hear. 

(Guy's if your reading) I've learned that quick honest feed back is the way to go or she will just keep bugging you  tell she gets it :P 

So I told her that I thought the green hat (though she looks awesome in hats)  paired with stripped shirt and blue skirt. mmmmmmm just doesn't seem to work for me. Feel free to comment away and tell me I'm wrong ;)

The great thing about it is no matter what I say, if she likes it she still wears it, cuz she is cool like that! 

Sometimes it even helps her figure out that she really does like it.  So every one enjoy, that is all.

You know you spend too much time at work when you start dreaming about work. You know you spend too much time reading science fiction when you start to have dreams of your work as the nerve center for the human resistance during an alien invasion.

Yes that was my dream last night.

Have you ever read The Host by Stephanie Myers? Before you judge (well I suppose if your going to judge, you’ve already done it so judge away), I really like it much more than the Twilight series. I feel like it is a bit more mature and well developed, which is perhaps why it isn’t nearly as popular.

Anywho, I’ve been listening to the book, so in my dream, alien parasites were taking over the earth, and my work became one of the last strongholds of humanity. Justin had been “taken over” by a parasite, so I had to flee, and ended up falling in love with this guy at my work that I’ve never even talked to. And our head engineer was the leader of the human resistance. And me and my boyfriend were in charge of the grocery shopping.

This raises several disturbing questions:

1. Why am I “in love” with a guy I’ve never even spoken to?

2. Should I be concerned that I am willing to put my life in the hands of our head engineer?

3. Why, in the event of an alien invasion, does my subconscious mind think the extent of my contribution would be grocery shopping?

I’ve decided that it will be best if I don’t look too deeply into the meaning of my dreams.

hard core.

Yeah I'm pretty much hard core. A couple of weeks ago, I got this awesome rock-star hair cut. So of course I need a rock-star outfit to go with it. Enter printed-t, pleated skirt and moto jacket. Now all I need is a tattoo, a wicked ax, and some groupies and I'm ready to hit the road.

Anyone else love them some "rocker" style?
