Ladies, what are our thoughts on fleece vests? I'm buying work pants from Aeropostale online right now, and happened to see a kind of cute, off-white fleece vest for $12, and I'm thinking about buying it... I feel like it COULD look cute with skinny jeans/boots/bright shirt, but I can't decide...

My friend rocks a pricy Patagonia fleece vest, but she can totally pull off things like that, whereas I'm not so sure I can.

SCG, that is both the most exciting and saddest story ever, obviously! Why does life taunt us with beautiful male specimen flashes in the pan (of ugly)? IT'S SO UNFAIR!!!
You borrow that chair!
Murrrturtles, congratulations on the view.

Y'all, Nordstroms.com is the awesome sauce.

I just ordered some eyebrows (an eyebrow pen, that is) from them and when you order a beauty product you get three free samples PLUS free shipping and returns, no minimum! I had such a hard time choosing which samples to get because they were all so tempting.

It's the little things.

SCG, I vote yes on the vest because I think it would look cute on you, but then again I'm old and not the most fashion savvy so...

Oh my WORD. My eyeballs just popped OUT of my damn head.

Mr. Spring had to ask someone today what their ethnicity is and their reply? "Beaner."

What the hell. Who says that!

I'm starting to wonder if perhaps I imagined him. A man that attractive could not have possibly been at my school... Surely he must have been a mirage.

Spring, I ended up ordering it! For $12, I'll wear it around the house to get my money's worth if I decide I hate it!

I had a fleece vest I wore a lot when we lived in CT, I found it to be the perfect layer on days that were chilly but too warm to wear a full on coat or sweater.

Today was my first time driving by myself- it's finals week and since I'm at school at such weird times every day, it's easier for me to just drive myself. I think I understand now why people like driving. I didn't really get it before.

It's entirely possible. I still can't believe that my eyes saw what they saw. Unicorns, I tell you!

This is me and it applies to PMs too:

Such a great feeling!!!

If I'm having a crappy day, I'll grab Starbucks and just drive. No where in particulare, but after a few rounds of car karaoke I always feel better!

I do this all the time.

People hate me for it. Sometimes I'll even type a response and never press send.
Or I'll assume I tapped send then go to the home page quickly after and move on with life....not realizing I never replied.

I'm a horrible person/friend... My friend fractured her spine in 5 places last Thursday, and I sent her a text last night to check in on her again, because I knew she'd been in and out of the hospital. Anyway, she responded while we were making Sunday dinner, and I saw it, but didn't get a chance to respond right away... I totally forgot about it until this morning! Even worse is the fact that she was telling me she was back in the hospital!

No wonder I'm a foreveralone!

I called my boss out on being a jerk the last couple of months today. I've been biting my tongue for awhile, and today it was out if my mouth so fast I almost wasn't sure I had said it.

He was quiet for a sec and my stomach kind of sank, then he said his wife had said the same thing the other day and as much as he didn't want to hear it, he was glad for the feedback. He says he'll work on it....we'll see!

There is an economist who claims the washing machine changed the world more than the internet did. Yeah, that caused quite a stir.

Yeah, washing machines tend to churn things up a bit.

ha ha ha....I told you I do that sometimes.

that reminds me of earlier when I was trying to explain what a smoothie is:

"you know, a fruit drink made from fruits."

I have my genius moments and then.....

LOL, hours. I would consider that a success. I fail so badly at communication that things can get lost in the shuffle for WEEKS. How do I still have friends?

I actually lost sort of an NC.com pm buddy this way awhile back. Sigh.
