Still Not a Fan

A while back I wrote this post, making fun of the shorts below:

"Rocco Slim Fit Low Rise Jean Shorts

I still think this trend is, um, feminine, for lack of a better word.


And then, the other day, I logged onto face.book to see new pictures uploaded by my brother's best friend, who is practically my bro as he as been in our lives for over 15 years. He is an incredibly successful model and really making his mark in the industry. So much so that he is the new face/spokesmodel for Lucky Brand Jeans. Don't believe me? Go to luckyjeans.com. The man in with the scarf is him (I'll keep my opinions to myself on this look). You can also click on the men's tab and up pops a picture of him wearing a grey shirt.


Anyway, here's one of the pictures for the summer campaign he put on the book.




You better believe I made fun of him. Sorry, there are just some things that should not be considered fashionable. Bermuda shorts that hit above the knee on men is one of them. Along with tighty-whities, shoulder pads, and acid wash mom jeans. No thank you.

Nonetheless, I'm happy for him... especially since he isn't the one choosing the clothes! But I'm still just not a fan of this new look...




But that look? Now that, I can appreciate :)

Hilarious!! My bitch sister once broke up with a guy in high school for wearing shorts like that. His name was Jeff (I think) and he called them his short britches. GAG!

I have to admit I'm having a hard time getting past that lovely face of his.

Uh, okay....with a face like that, he could be wearing pink shorts with fringe on them and I'd still be on him like Kate Moss on a crack pipe.

Just Popping In

I didn't intend to skip out for the past (almost) week, &, as a matter of fact, I actually HAD things to blog about (shocking, I know), but the end of last week was pure chaos and time did not allow for much of anything other than work/appointments/errands/getting ahead on school work/playing mom to three kids all weekend. And all of that running around & time spent with kids has left me with a terrible cold, intense nausea, and sleep deprevation. However, my flight leaves at 7:05 tomorrow morning & by 2 EST, I'll be in beautiful St Thomas with another friend visiting one of my favorite people in the world & for that, I am beyond grateful. Catch y'all in a week or so! Aloha. Or whatever the Caribbean equivalent of goodbye is.

Random Facts about Me You Probably Don't Care to Know.

Brown Eyed Girl Jenn did this post earlier today and I thought it was fun, I haven't done a meme in ages, and I have a handful of new followers who may like to know useless information about me, so I figured what the heck? Might as well steal it. Thanks, Jenn! The ABCs of yours truly! A. Age -- 23. I'll be 24 on May 20th (I love surprises in the mail, hint hint ;)) and some days I can't believe I'm that old, while others, I can't believe I'm that young. B. Bed size -- Queen and it's the most heavenly thing in the world, which is great, but also bad, because it is nearly impossible to pull myself out of bed every morning... or afternoon. C. Chore you dislike -- Cleaning the shower would probably be my least favorite. I have a shower/tub combo and I really just hate getting on my hands and knees and scrubbing the bejeezus out of the thing. Plus, I feel like I smell like Clorox for the next 3 showers. D. Dogs -- I have two fur babies, you can read about them

The Season of Giving... & Receiving

Read this post. Trust me, you'll want to. Christmas is my absolute favorite time of year. From Thanksgiving until January 1st, I forget about how much I despise cold weather and bask in the warmth that is Christmas cheer. Oh, Lord, is that cheesy or what? But I mean it. There's just something about all the decorations, the music, the preparation for the birth of my Lord, that makes me all giddy. But it can also be a stressful time with the end of school, shopping to do, letters to send, volunteer work, etc. I know I'm not the only person in the world who stresses. Kids, taking care of the home, jobs, finding a job, loved ones who are fighting for our freedom overseas, school, being a good friend and family member-- it can all be so overwhelming and take a toll on the body. I try to use homeopathic remedies (I think that's the term I'm looking for...) when I'm feeling incredibly stressed because Lord knows my body gets pumped full of enough pharmaceuticals as is
