Hmmm said the doctor...

Look how cute we are! I found a whole ton of cute pictures of the three of us at my mom's. I thought this one was top notch. I was just waking up from a nap. Brett says I make that same face when I'm waking up. Priceless.
Whoa. It's 2:20 AM. Retched sleep. (Or the lack thereof...)
I continue to be sick. My symptoms are getting worse and tomorrow I go to see the doctor yet again. Maybe he will prescribe me 100 popsicles a day for a month and maccaroni and cheese. Excellent I say drumming my fingers together. Excellent.
The humidifier is humidifying alllll day and allll night. Sigh. Cough. Cough.
Mother's Day is coming very quickly. That means on Saturday Uke is calling!! (Luke, Elder Vanisi!) Annnd that moms are awesome! I'm excited to hear from the 1/3 of me on a small island. One more year and he'll be home!!
Leah and I knocked out our Mother's Day gift to our mom early. We got pedicures together. I am really so so very uncomfortable during the pedicure but I always love the outcome. Part of the discomfort is trying to keep an interesting conversation rolling with minimal awkward pauses. I would rather read my magazine in silence. Sue me. I feel like a lot of stylists/manicurists (what's the word for pedicure people?) thrive on the gossipy little details about random client's personal lives or which celebrity did what with who for how many skittles. Whatever gets you through the day I guess. Just don't drag me into it...
Maybe it's the humidity getting to my head or maybe just the Style channel I watch all day but the weird fashions here in the Happy Valley are catching my eye more than usual. Rissa had noticed this one as well;
  • Girls wearing those shade shirts under strapless shirts/dresses. Weird. While we're on the topic of shade shirts, don't wear a nude colored one by itself. Ever. You look topless. Weirder. Yes, weirdER. And don't layer three different colored shade shirts on top of each other. Pick one. One.
  • People, vintage does not mean you can layer mismatching random articles of clothing and top it off with a cardigan. No it does not.
  • The sweaters from your grandma's closet belong in her closet. ESPECIALLY if it has lace on the collar. It isn't cool. Give grandma back her sweater. She looks much better in it than you do!
  • Flip flops are meant for going to the beach, the pool, and sick people like me. Do not wear them with your dresses, skirts and skinny jeans. Do NOT, I say as I pound my fists on my imaginary podium. Doooo NOT.
  • When doing your makeup, keep in mind that your everyday life is not a musical, no matter how dramatic it is refrain from cake powder, aqua net, false eye lashes and essentially anything that could be recognized as stage makeup basics.
  • I know that a white camisole can do a gal wonders but it doesn't help you when you stretch it out to your thighs.
This might have been offensive to a few people. For that I am sorry. Ish.

I do not know you but this made me laugh so hard. I hate shade shirts and flip-flops and "vintage thrifters" more than anything in this whole entire world.
god bless your post for making me smile (i wrote a similar one last week. a little meaner, though.)
