Things have been out of control crazy around here. I usually put in about 30-35 hours a week at my company, but the the last couple of weeks, we've been rolling out a new internal CRM design, which has left me dipping into overtime.

A lot has been happening though. My family came up for a visit from Texas, Jasper turned 1 (trying not to think about how fast this year has gone), and school starts for Justin in a couple of weeks (also trying not to think about it).

I blinked, and suddenly summer is over, and I have a one year old.

How did this happen?

magic pants.

These shorts, use to be pants. Now they are shorts. Just like magic. Magic pants...or shorts. 

Either way, betcha want some yeah? All you need are some scissors, and some iron on seam tape and WHABAM. 

Insta shorts. 

Don't even need a sewing machine! How you like them apples?

sometimes...

I wear blue pants.

I make up songs about my favorite cereals.

I wish I could fly.

We eat pizza two (or three) times a week.

I get sad, and don’t really understand why. 

I want to drive really really fast.

I spend far too much time watching old sitcoms.

I hate wearing bras, and shoes. and socks.

We stay up waaaay to late, just so we don’t have to go to bed. 

I don’t shower every day (or every other).

I like jedi (what is the plural of jedi anyway?) and ninjas, and pirates. A lot.

I like the smell of a skunk. Not close up, but when driving, and I smell a skunky skunk smell, I kinda like it.

I like showering in the dark. I find it soothing. Weird? Yes...until you try it. 

If I use a public bathroom, I generally like to use the third stall. A little ocd? Perhaps.

I really love young adult fiction. And any fiction in general.

I love wheat toast with an over easy egg on top, dribbled with honey. Delicious. 

I can't be the only crazy person in the world right?

I also find this video, very funny.

I use ridiculously too much:

Serious/Seriously/Serious right now, or any other variation of the word serious.

Ridiculously. Which is ridiculous. Because I can’t even spell it. Seriously. I have to usespell check every time. Don’t worry guys. I went to college.

Poop stain. Gross? Most definitely. But does that stop me from using it? Most definitely not… which brings me to my next overused phrase…

Most definitely. (Alright, alright, we get it already)!

Friggin. I know. My mother would be very disappointed in me right now. Sorry mom.

And Babe. I hate this word, yet I continue to use it. All. The. Time. Serious right now. I just need to stop.

They say that admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery, but somehow, I don’t think my vocabulary stands much of a chance.

Have a ridiculously lovely day! Seriously.

Me, trying to examine my buttocks. How embarrassing. 

I flossed really hard this morning...

And it kinda hurt.

Remember that little rant I had last week about embracing your natural beauty? Well I’ve decided that I want to continue that by doing a post every week about natural beauty. The idea is that at least once a week, I will do a post where I only wear only one item of makeup (or none, depending on how I'm feeling). Today is the first one. I got up this morning, washed my face, put on moisturizer and lipstick, and I was set to go! How liberating is that!?!

  

I really think that the general standard for beauty in our society is really damaging. Even among the blogging community, who are the epitome of honestly in the fashion world, a lot of the blogs that do really well, are written by sweet darling girls that 99.9% of girls in America will never look like, nor should. So. Here is to us girls of all shapes and sizes. I'm a 140 pound, healthy, happy girl who doesn't need makeup to be beautiful. Doesn't that just make your heart sing?

So I'll be posting an "I'm a natural Beauty" post every, and talking about healthy body image. I'm thinking about making it into a weekly link back post where others can join me in shedding their masks if anyone is interested. Which you should be. Because we can change the world gals. So grab a button, and spread the word.
