Forgot to mention, I went back to Marshalls in search of dressy clothes (because my half of the closet is empty, for real), and I found a dress. I began trying on 12s, because my jeans are size 12, but they were too big. So I tried on 10s, and they were too big. So I found a couple of 8s on the sale rack, and whaddya know? One of them fit ( Read more... )

Our AC hasn't worked in at least two days. No matter what temperature we set, the house is still 80 degrees. My face is all shiny and greasy and broken out. Yuck ( Read more... )

I only bought my new underwear in mid-March, and I've not done anything particularly strange to them. Today I noticed one pair has a hole.

Rants:
*People who call my cell phone, don't realize it's a wrong number, and call back ... three times in three days.
*That scrumptious-looking mac'n'cheese at the Whole Foods hot meal counter isn't scrumptious. And the sweet potato casserole is pretty awful, too. :(

Raves:
*My husband is buying me a custom earring holder from this Etsy store ( Read more... )

A Whole Foods store opened here in Nashville on Thursday. Last night, after dinner, Bear and I checked it out. OMG, I am in love! I never loved the Wild Oats store here--their parking lot sucked, their customer service sucked, most of their checkout clerks had attitude problems. Seriously, some of them seemed to have been hired because they ( Read more... )
