I'm Not Wearing Pants!

First off, I'm guest blogging posting, whatever you call it at Becoming Bailey. Bailey's awesome and I love reading her blog, and we share a love of NCIS together. Check it out!

I finally did it. I finally jumped on the jegging train. Skinny jeans are in. And they look so cute! But I haven't been able to rock them since, well, my skater girl days.

My sweet sixteen. The only picture I could find of me in skinny jeans. Getting pop dumped on your head isn't as fun as it looks.

Skater days me.

So I've been a little sad. Because I have all these graphic tees, and I want to wear them. But I still want to look like myself now. And myself now does not look like that. Alas, I thought all was lost. Until Joice told me to try jeggings. I thought she was crazy! Jeggings, oh those mocked pants. I thought they would be even tighter than skinny jeans! And those are just unbearable! I gave them a chance though, and am quite happy.

I thought you all would enjoy a picture of the bathrooms at work. They're stunning aren't they? Sorry I got in the way of the beauty.

I felt super cute and confident in the jeggings. I got them a size bigger than I wear so they aren't stuck to my legs and look like pants. I love the color, I love the style. They make me feel like a woman, even when I'm wearing a shirt from the little boys section of JCPenny. Plus they slip so nicely into my boots unlike real pants. Oh jeggings, I'm in love! And when people compliment my pants I'm like, actually they're not pants. They're jeggings. The pockets are sewn shut. There's a difference.

Fake

I feel like a lot of times when going through blogger, I'm always pushing the boundaries a bit. A lot of blogs seem to always be happy and awesome and they just won this free product from someone and it's great! And then, I'm over here in my little corner of the blogosphere wondering, hey, should I actually write about this? Is this something that you just pretend like it never happens? Am I the only one this happens to? My favorite moments are when I find someone cutting down those walls and sharing what life is actually like. That they have zits. That they don't have the perfect relationship and baby. That they've struggled with mental health. That they're secretly gross like me. (I took a quiz on buzz feed about how secretly gross are you, and I got pretty gross. In the guise of not being fake, I am sharing this fact with you all!) When I find those blog posts, I instantly feel a connection with that person and will automatically follow them on their life j...

Liebster-ing it up!

Funny story. A few days ago I was reading all the blogs I follow like I usually do. And of course I read Jana's blog and read about how she had won the Liebster award. I had no idea what it was, so I read her post full of fun facts, and for everyone I kept nodding my head going, I DO THAT TOO! Then today I re-read her blog, and realized that she'd nominated me for the Liebster award as well! It was a very exciting moment. Thank you! So I guess this is how it works, I think, I'm new to this whole thing. I totally just stole this off Jana's blog ;) "The Liebster Blog Award is given to bloggers by bloggers. It is a way to acknowledge each other and say 'you're doing a great job.' It is for blogs with 200 or less followers, so it's also a great way to spread the word about smaller blogs & get them more readers/ followers! When you receive the award, you post 11 random facts about yourself and answer 11 questions from the person who nominated y...

Christmas Lights

It’s funny having a baby and then trying to do things. I’ve noticed over the last year that I’ve gotten an I Can’t do that sort of attitude. We can’t do that because Aaron will cry and we’ll get cranky and so on. I’m really trying to work on that. My anxiety out in public is much worse too. Now I have two people to protect not just myself. The library definitely changed how I look at places and I wish it hadn’t. Sammy really wanted to go to a Christmas village downtown but I was too overwhelmed by all the logistics. So we compromised and went to one near us. It was so much fun! It was cold out but not too too bad. Aaron loves looking at the Christmas lights at our apartments, and he really loved these ones. It was so much more fun trying to look at these things through his eyes. He was also fascinated by the mini Santa and Mrs. Clause at grandma’s house. I’m so glad we went and can’t wait to go next year when he’s walking:)
