I wish Aunt Jemima were my real aunt

Because in an it-seemed-like-a-good-idea-at-the-time moment that I am going to blame on pregnancy and hunger and low blood sugar and the current phase of the moon, I accidentally made 21 waffles tonight.

Am I the only one who was embarrassed to tell anyone they thought Legolas was hot when they saw the first Lord of the Rings movie?  Because I totally thought he was so attractive but it was a little weird because he... had long blond hair.  And then when I figured out he was a well-known actor that was widely considered to be attractive, I was super relieved.  And I kind of felt like I was leading the pack!

Speaking of leading the pack, I have zero fashion radar.  I think in heaven when they were giving out fashion radar I accidentally lunchtime-swapped my fashion radar for grammar nazi radar.  Apparently, not knowing how mortality was going to be, this seemed like a good idea.  I'm kind of mad at myself now.

So, occasionally I see something fashionable that I also think I would actually wear.  Then I either a) figure I'll get around to it the next time I feel like I can spend money on clothes, or b) worry that it will be gone by then and find a way to purchase it much sooner than that.  Usually a.  Curiously, every time I pick a, the trend doesn't hang around that long, and I'm out of luck (for clarity:  not because I wouldn't wear it if it were out of style.  HA like I care, even when I totally should.  Because it being out of style makes it much harder to buy).  But every time I pick b, I end up seeing these clothes (that I was so anxious to get to avoid an a situation) hanging around in stores for like years to come.  And cheaper than when I bought them.  How do people figure out this stuff, anyway?  What is wrong with me??  Is it because I swapped my fashion radar for a mess of punctuation, or should I be reading celebrity magazines?  Because I DO!  But only to see more pictures of Kate Middleton/the royal baby.  

Please let me know if you find an answer to this.  I'll be the one wearing sweatpants + no makeup at the grocery store.  (happysad that What Not To Wear is over.  I'll miss the free advice, but now I can stop living in fear).

In the mean time, I'll be consoling myself with my freezer full of homemade Eggos.

  1. I've got great news for you. I had a life-size Legolas in my room for the last 2 years of high school. My mom hated him because every time she walked into my room she thought he was an intruder. Every year I try to convince Caleb to don a long blonde wig, pointy ears, and a bow on Halloween. I kinda look like Liv Tyler, right? Anyways, when it happens we will be the costume duo of the year. And you are wonderful.

  3. You are most definitely not the only one who found Legolas to be attractive. In fact, on my parent's computer, there is still a file full of pictures I gleaned from the internet that I compiled during those early, formative years.
