My wife desperately wanted tickets to Garth Brooks in Vegas, which went on sale today, so we got up early to hit the computers and the phones. The result? Third row center on Saturday night the last weekend in February. I'm not a big fan of cowboy music, but getting out of here in late Feb to go to Vegas sounds like heaven. February here is dark, cold, and wet/snowy. VEGAS BABY! #openthread
@Ailatan: you're so cute! also we have the exact same hair color, it looks like. except i only have a big patch of that color, at my chin, no matter what the length. does it look redder in person? #openthread
@roslyn taber: it looks similar a bit darker in person, it's so nice to find someone with the same colour! My skin is not that pale for the hair, so it's a nice contrast and most people think I dye my hair (I wouldn't, it's too much of a hassle)
Do you also have freckles? Cause if anyone's interested I could start exporting them ;) #openthread
@Ailatan: i WISH i had freckles. the top of my hair is super dark brown, and the bottom gets almost peroxided orange when it's long/summertime, so i'm kind of all over the place. i'm fairly dark-skinned, which goes with the darker parts, but people have def. asked if i dye my hair (which i have, but what they're asking about is natural). #openthread
@sarasasa: I bite the sides of them, but wear my nails very very short, I wear contact lenses and I don't want to poke my out, also I have a policy for nails as well as hair: If it's not well kept, must wear it short. #openthread
I caaan't laugh and I can't sing, I'm finding it hard to do anything! You see I feel sad when you're sad, I feel glad when you're glad! If you only knew what I'm going through!
My mother in law is a super fan of Elvis, so much so that she was close to naming my hubs "Elvis Aaaron" luckily she only named her daughter Lisa Marie, and my husband got a regular name. #openthread
I just found out through facebook that an acquaintance of mine (and good friend of my husband's) died last week. Through FACEBOOK. I'm a little weirded out by that. #openthread
Good Morning Jezzies!!
I went to a friend's house yesterday and on my way I got distracted by a nice pair of sandals. They are Hush Puppies and very comfy. #openthread
@boobookitteh: I'm the same, I love shinny things, but these are comfortable and I have to do a lot of walking (I live in a big city) I also tried on a pair of leopard print flats, they looked cute but I felt guilty of purchasing so much in one day. #openthread
@Ailatan: Uhh so pretty! I gave in to the fashion world and bought a pair of gladiator sandals the other day. Don't you love that comfy shoes are fashionable now? #openthread
@Ailatan: Ha, that's how I feel about drapings on my body. I think they make my feet look bigger though, I don't really mind because I'm a 35 and with most shoes I kind of look nailed to the ground.
I don't know if anyone is still up, but I just wanted to say that I finally got an interview! I'm freaking out slightly though because I was told that there would be a math portion and I'm terrible at math. I'm fantastic once I'm behind a cash register (I can make change and whatnot) but that's because the register does all of the work. If I have to do a bunch of math problems then I am pretty much screwed. Ugh, I'm super nervous and afraid I'm going to psych myself out before I even get there! #openthread
Oh man. My mother just got home from a wedding, kind of tipsy, and made me play "that 'she got low low low low low' song... it talks about booties", by which she meant Flo Rida. Which I took as an opportunity to introduce her to the wonderful world of T-Pain.
And then I showed her the video for Blame It on the Alcohol and she thought she hallucinated both the panda and Ron Howard.

@Rose.Selavy.Needs.A.Drink: Oh thanks! now I'll forever be seeing Glenn Beck peeking out of my closet watching me sleep! Or trying to sleep as I may never sleep again with that image in my head. #openthread
I'm posting this tip via the open thread because it looks like it worked last time (typo and all) - so long as someone "promotes" it.
Jordan Reid, the actress who originated the role of Sweet Dee on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, wrote about the experience in her blog. The basic story is that she was dating Mac (Rob McElhenny) and ended up getting squeezed out when they broke up.
Not necessarily a gripping tale, but it's well written, and this section in particular was what made me think it'd be a good topic for discussion on Jezebel:
"Around that time, my relationship with Rob began to unravel, and I started to sense that I was on unsteady footing on the set, despite our "all for one" pact. I was surprised to learn that Rob, Glenn and Charlie had all been made executive producers, while I simply remained the lead actress. I went very quickly from being at the center of the project to standing on the periphery, and…truth? It felt like it had everything in the world to do with my gender. To me, FX felt like a cigar-smoking, whiskey-drinking old boys’ club. I was welcome when I was the girlfriend of the creator, and once I wasn’t…well…I was persona non grata – and my role in creating their new pet project was forgotten."
I was just talking to one of my very close friends and it's so interesting how our body images are based not only on what the media feeds us, but who we grow up with. I'm overweight and I'm comfortable discussing my weight and body issues with her because we're so close, and today she was just like, out of the blue (after almost 2.5 yrs of friendship), "ab33, I know you say you're fat, but I don't consider you fat. I never knew people were this skinny till I came here [college]. I think you're beautiful!" She's stick skinny and quite tall, and she grew up around larger women with big boobs and big butts and always wanted to be like them, and I grew up in an area where everyone was super fit and I always felt like the only overweight one and desperately wanted to lose weight and hated myself and wanted to look like her because I think she's beautiful! If only we could have switched bodies or surroundings, huh?
No one's ever told me I'm beautiful before, at least not out of the blue like that. I don't know if she knows how much I appreciate it. I had a really rough week and an even worse one's coming up, and that just made my day. #openthread
