Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween everyone! BEE safe!
Yeah, we all know I'm THAT person that dresses up their dog. And I still love it, every time. There's nothing funnier that a dog in costume, and when it's Tucker it's just funnier for some reason.
And now the costume comes off and we sit in the basement in the dark hiding from trick-or-treaters. Yep, I'm THAT person too. I'm assuming next year will be different when I have a little human to dress up, but for now I'll ignore the holiday.

Am I getting old or what?
That was a rhetorical question jerk, you didn't have to answer yes so quickly AND laugh.
So I'm wondering when that "momness" is going to set in. You know, the voice that tells you to shop at age appropriate stores and to listen to age appropriate music.
I recently downloaded some new tunes and burned myself a little ass shakin' CD for the car (see I'm old, I burned a CD because I can't even find my ipod right now and of course it wouldn't be charged if I did locate it). Now I realize that while my ass is shaking, so is this baby's. And I hope she's just moving around and she's not fist pumping in utero. Right behind the new Enrique Iglesias song is a little tune I can't help but rock out to: Sexy Bitch by David Guetta and Akon.
She's nothing like a girl you've ever seen before
Nothing you can compare to your neighborhood hoe
I'm trying to find the words to describe this girl
Without being disrespectful
Damn Girl You's a Sexy Bitch, a sexy bitch, a sexy bitch
What? Those lyrics aren't appropriate for a pregnant lady to be listening to, but I can't help myself. I mean, shouldn't there be some little voice in my head saying "that sexy bitch is someone's daughter, turn that crap off!" But no, I just hit repeat.
And then, the shopping at appropriate stores part. It's a little hard to ignore the huge bright shiny sparkly wonderland that is a brand new Forever 21 store in our mall. I get it, I haven't been 21 in, well Forever. But the store is just too enticing with its totally cheap duds and accessories as far as the eye can see.
I will say that the only thing worse than shopping at Forever 21 at age 29 is being the latter plus pregnant. But, I figure accessories and cardigans always fit - but oh what did my little eyes spy - only about a dozen tops that will be mine once I'm back to my fighting weight.
So while my shame almost stopped me from entering, my desire to be hip pushed me right through those doors. And there's nothing more hip than using the word hip.
Maybe that momness IS starting to set in.

Change.
I adapt well, but I don't have to like it.
Case in point this week. I've been in meetings all week. You know when you get your first big girl job in the real world and it's so cool to add a meeting to your calendar and then six years later the meetings generally lose their sparkly excitement? That's where I'm at right now. Meetings aren't cool. They're a pain in my ass. And totally mess up my routine.
These meetings aren't even held at my office, I spend the day (starting at 7am btw...umm...it's still nighttime, why am I driving to work?) at the Hilton with absolutely no routine I'm used to - aka get to work, check my email, check my favorite blogs, have a bagel, you know...really ease into my day.
I feel so out of sorts.
Thank god I took Friday and Monday off huh?

Addicted.
My name is Kelsey and I have a serious problem.
I am absolutely addicted to online shopping.
It's the thrill of regular shopping - the high of finding something amazing and swiping the old credit card - PLUS the excitement of the package arriving! And I have everything shipped to work which is a double bonus, because not only do I get something fun delivered to work, I have numerous people to show my new fun things to.
I don't even know when it started exactly and I think that's a bad sign. It was something for the baby I'm sure. But it's been a slippery slope since then.
And I'm a sucker for free shipping which is fine if it's a great website that always offers free shipping (shout out to Zappos, Piperlime and Kate Spade)...but I fall for the spend $50 get free shipping "deal" well, every time.
I've recently brought my online shopping international with a fun new website http://www.asos.com/. My new dress arrived (because of the free shipping to the US) and I love it.
So obviously the online shopping addiction isn't a bad thing for me...just maybe for my marriage.
**Love you dear. We NEED all of these things I'm purchasing and I'm getting REALLY good deals on it all!
