My dress is a shirt and I'm on a rant today.

Does anyone else think it's totally unfair how cute these girls are?! I was SO NOT that cute at their age. I had glasses and braces and thought my cheerleading jacket was the best fashion statement of all time.
Let's talk about this dress for a minute. Or shall we call it a shirt, because we all know it is. My sister (the older one, not the one pictured. I really wouldn't have an excuse if I borrowed a "dress" from Karianne!) told me this was a dress. Wrong-o seestor. This is a shirt. Whoops!

So I made my first hair tutorial video. And I can't get it off my phone. It's too large a file to e-mail or message, and Youtube is doing my head in with their new Google integration. I guess I'm going to have to give in and use the computer to download it, but it's just a bit frustrating that I bought a very expensive phone so that I could use it for everything, and now I can't use it for everything. Because Google has to put their big nose into everything and try to be the boss of everyone.

Does anyone else feel this way? Or am I ranting to crickets right now?

While we're on the topic of things that annoy me, let me just tell you a few more:

- DO NOT under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES pin an image to Pinterest from GOOGLE! That defeats the purpose! I can't find where you got that image from because you just google searched "hair" and find this awesome tutorial but I can't look at it because you were too lazy to give credit where it is due. Shame on you. Stop it.
- Weeds. Why do they grow so stinkin fast?! What is their purpose?! O that's right, they don't have a purpose, other than to annoy me. My front yard is seriously embarrasing. And my neighbor just happens to be a professional landscaper, which makes it even worse. I'm growing the next Amazon in my yard and he's got a bajillion tulips, perfectly lined up, all the same height, all fully bloomed, bursting out of his perfect flower beds, spilling onto his emerald green carpet of a perfect lawn. Don't be confused, I take pictures in front of his yard and not mine.
- When I order a vanilla Dr. Pepper from Sonic and they don't mix it up. So you get a huge mouthful of faux-nilla flavoring. NOT what I was expecting. So I've started to order like this: "I would like a large Dr. Pepper, extra ice, with vanilla, and will you please stir it before you give it to me?" So I'm pretty sure they hate me, and probably spit in my drink.
- HOW do I have ANY hair left on my head? You would think I would be bald when you see the amount of hair that accumulates in my bathroom. The sink, the floor, the tub, my hairbrush- it's EVERYWHERE. It seriously has to multiply as it falls from my head. And no matter how many times you sweep, as soon as you finish you will surely find another handful lying around.

Ok that's it for now, I think I've officially established the fact that I'm slightly unhinged and you guys are probably scared of me. Just be honest with yourself, because you KNOW you feel the same way! Some days you just have to rant.

Funny thing is I'm actually in a pretty good mood today. Chalk it up to being a girl!

  1. LOVE your post - so funny! And you are verbalizing what all of us feel at one time or another (unless of course life is perfect for "them"). Have a great day!

  3. Where to start…

    First, the cheerleading jacket was a staple piece in my wardrobe as well. I was never that trendy (actually I’m still not that trendy! Those girls have me beat!) Second, the phone issues. Totally agree. I also hate the blogger app. It is impossible to post a blog from the app (especially if you want pictures) Also, the hair situation…I’m right there with you. It is embarrassing and out of control. At least yours is blonde. Mine is black.

  5. HAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh I love you. :) And just so you know you're not alone, our neighbors DESPISE our yard. They all have beautiful lush pristine perfection and we have clover and dandelions...I'm pretty sure all our grass is now dead and gone. :) Sometimes they can't stand it and end up MOWING OUR YARD FOR US! Yes. I'm not lying.

    Also, the girl in the ruffle skirt with her awesome smooch pose...how cute is she?! All those girls are gorgeous!!!

  8. Oh my goodness. The girls have gotten SO big! Karianne looks beautiful with her short hair and perfect teeth! Ah, I can't believe how much they've grown.

  9. Okay so I might have been mistaken when I said it was a dress...however, before I washed it following not one single rule on its tag it did fit like a dress. Guess I should have listened to the Dry Clean only bit.

  13. "So I'm pretty sure they hate me, and probably spit in my drink." I am pretty sure ranting is in order for the day, and that when I eat out I need to take you with me. FOR SURE.

  14. haha Greg and Beccah!! Geno had an issue with some weed killer business, so now the grass between the curb and the sidewalk in front of the house is crusty and fried, while the actual front yard is lush with weeds. Also, there are still plenty of days when I'm not as cute as Karianne. Tell her she's got it made having such stylish older sisters to follow after. And then the hair bit.... My house is COVERED in little gray puppy hairs and long blondy-brownie ones. I'm. so. sick of it. I'm going to shave the pup! Also, your legs are at least 9 miles long and that color is delish. love you and sorry for the novel. :)

  15. Our yard is an embarrassment and Nanny Betty lives right down the street. :) She's so sweet she would never say anything, but I bet she wonders how on earth I can be her daughter. :)

    Uncle Keith and I are moving into a condo when the kids are grown. No yard work.

  16. Aw - those girlies are TOO cute! I was definitely rockin' a unibrow and probably some sort of hideous outfit at their age! Loving that shirt/dress, and your glasses are FABULOUS :) And if I didn't clean up the hair in my bathroom on a daily basis - there would be a carpet made of hair by now. Ew :)
