I have to admit I've been pretty lackluster in my topics. In fact, I've hardly written anything over the past two weeks. I'm just so busy doing things that you probably don't want to hear about that I haven't been posting.
So, I'm going to just give you some of my thoughts from the last week. And, yes, I'm probably over sharing.
1) When did it become so hard to find boots to fit your calves? I measured my calves at their widest point and they're 15.5". I guess that makes me plus sized. Whatever.
2) On that note, why is a 5'8" woman who weighs 153 pounds considered plus sized? Gasp! Yes, I did just put my weight on the Internet. But, only to show you that I'm a normal size. My BMI is 22.8. Right in the middle of the normal weight range. So, why is it that I have to wear a wide calf boot and double digit clothes? I mean, I tried on a t-shirt the other day and only the XL fit me. Wha-huh?
3) I know I might offend some people here (event hough I hope I don't), but am I the only female the has zero interest in a Louis Vuitton bag or Tory Burch shoes/bags? My co-workers all want them and my JL friends all seem to have them. So many of you have been tweeting about them lately and so, I have to ask, "Is it just me?" I just don't get it.
4) Why do people always want to offer up medical advice? Clearly, I mean people not in the medical field here. It seems like every time I tell someone I have Migraine they ask me if I've tried this or that. (Fellow Migraineurs, I do not mean you, as you have actual experience here.)
5) Why are moms so hard to shop for. Well, maybe it's only my mom. I mean she has WAY too much stuff in her small house and she doesn't use the nice things we give her. (Read: Coach bag for Christmas last year? I've seen her carry it once. She says, it's too nice and she doesn't want to mess it up. Gah!) Anyone have any suggestions for gifts?
Anyhow, that's my brain dump for the day/ weekend/ past week. I really don't have much else... Sorry...

No, you are not the only female that doesn't care for LV or Tory Burch anything. I have never understood the obsession.
I have similar issues with clothes because I'm busty and I have hips. I swear, clothes these days are cut for women who are not-so-curvy. (Though I mean no offense to not-so-curvy gals; it's just frustrating when nothing fits anywhere you shop.)
I have absolutely no interest in LV...but I would like a pair of Tory shoes. Or maybe I just want to try on a pair of Tory shoes so I can see if they are really worth all the mania that surrounds them.
I guess I'm really lucky. My mom is sooo easy to shop for. It's my dad that mystifies me.
You and I have the same calves. Mine are horridly large. Although I do have like, negative six inches and plus thirty pounds on you. So I think you're a skinny minny! :-) My LV obsession - and no, you're comment does not offend at all - comes from my mom always telling me that if i worked hard enough, i'd have one one day. I've worked damn hard. So now I want one. Lol.
Loved your brain dump! I want to hear more about culinary school. Or about some fabulous original recipe of yours? got any? :-) xoxo!
I'm with you - I actually think Tory Burch shoes are kind of ugly!
My mom is really tricky to shop for, too, but she usually gives at least 1 good suggestion. We bought her a bike one year, and this year she's hinted that she wants a new, fancy GPS. Makes it much easier!
Oh girl. I *hate* the people who try to recommend things to me for a migraine - who have never had one before. Um, hello, after 8 years I think I know what will work and what won't. I mean, when I have a problem that doesn't even have a medical cure yet, I do not want advice on what to take, I want you to leave me alone!
Hm. I just went on a little rant there. :)
Hope you are doing well!! xoxox
I love this post and your honesty! I am with you on the LV thing - I just don't get it. I like Tory Burch stuff but absolutely refuse to pay $200 for the flats. I get so frustrated clothes shopping. I think you are a great size and the fact that the sizing is so weird is really annoying.
Moms ARE impossible to shop for. I have no ideas either, my mom always says she has everything she needs. Maybe some TB shoes? ha!
I don't own anything LV or Tory, but I am interested in some Tory flats. Only because so many people seem to love them, and I continuously wear through (read: HOLES) all my flats. I wear flats all the time at work, so I would actually benefit from a good pair.
And I feel ya on the migraine business. People just don't understand and always want to give you their two cents. Every time someone tries to tell me about how they take "this many whatever and an excedrin migraine and that always knocks it out" I just want to punch them in the face. Then when I inform them that I have to take a daily pill to prevent them, it's always fun to see their reaction. It's like yeah... YOU have no idea what to recommend to me because I promise I have tried everything! Hopefully people will leave you alone!
I hope you have a good weekend! :)
How has your week been? I hope you are doing well! Have a good Friday.
