fashion makes me happy

I spent date night on the couch with my laptop. Tay was at his Nana & Papa’s and we were going to see a movie. Then I made a huge mistake. Jimmy, in all his glory, has been making an effort to cook (crockpot) healthy dinners for the last few nights. I don’t cook. I hate it, hate it, hate it. I can microwave though. Love that. And I’m good at it. Anyway, back to Jimmy. It doesn’t always need to be about me…
Um, yes it does. Who am I kidding?
Long story short, I didn’t make a big enough deal about his efforts. I didn’t cartwheel and do a cheer spelling B-A-N-A-N-A-S. And the big whoops is that I didn’t offer to take over his efforts because I was so inspired. I do not rock. Date night was ruined. It was just me and my Mac.
But my trusty Mac came through, and I spent the evening in bliss. Fashion Blogs. Ugh. Heaven. I love them, I love them, I love them.
In my dark days there are different things I need at different times. Sometimes I need a good dose of reality tv. Other times I need a lot of inspirational reading. But, apparently last night I needed fashion. And now I’m happy.
Here were my happy places:
….love Maegan (love her blog, fashion posts or not)
Okay, now I’m off to go practice my cartwheels while listening to Gwen Stefani. B-A-N-A-N-A-S! I want dinner tonight. If this is what it takes, so be it.

  1. ….love Maegan is such a cute blog. Sometimes date nights are just not meant to be. I’m so sorry Jimmy was bitter. When I’m having a bad night, I like to go fill up shopping carts on line just for fun. I go “buy” clothes I could never afford. It helps and is kind of like looking at fashion blogs which is also soooo fun and inspiring.

  2. i just hate it when the men in my life act like jerks. hang in there, honey… and if he doesn’t shape up tell him he can be replaced!!!

  3. Were we like sisters in another life? It’s crazy how much we have in common, I hate cooking, I love the microwave, I wish I had a Mac, and I love fashion blog…Love Meagan is one of my absolute faves EVER! She rocks! Anyhoo…Have a great Sunday…You are officially on my BlogRoll!

  4. I’m pretty sure I’d hurt myself if I did a cartwheel but the whole cheering thing? For dinner? Two nights in a row? I’d do it. Totally.

  5. daddy likey is also a cute, snarky fashion blog. i love go fug yourself!

  6. Hey, I saw your blog over at SITS. Sounds like we have a lot in common. I LOVE fashin and I LOVE reality tv. If it’s Reality and someone can get voted off, I am watching it!!! Anyway, thanks for the links!!

  7. I’m a huge fan of ….Love Meagan!

  8. I will totally never yell at my family again if they don’t make a big deal about my cooking! But I do have to teach them that cheer!

  9. we are so similar! ok, my bf got a crock pot and has made a few things in the pot (gets really obsessive/excited about it) and ive never done cartwheels at the outcome either and he gets all butthurt!!

    guess we need to tap dance after they cook? 😉 😉

  10. thank you for adding me to this list…i’m so honored!

  11. I think I would do the cheer for some dinner but only if he promises to clean up afterwards. Mine will cook but leave the kitchen a mess and act like he moved mountains for days afterwards. I’d rather order a pizza.

  12. Ahhhhh, but there’s nothing like kissin’ and makin’ up!!! That even beats fashion blogs!

  13. lol you are too cute 🙂

    I have no idea about fashion or fashion sense. I don’t have time these days. I’m lucky if my socks match! Speaking of which, I don’t recall the last time my bra matched my undies…ok tmi but whatever we are all ladies!

    Hope you managed to enjoy your dinner!!

    Oh and this is a great healthy crock pot recipe that tastes fantastic! You can eat it with black beans, corn or tortillas.

    Happy New Year!

  14. I’m pretty sure that it’s Gwen Stefani who sings the BANANAS song lol. (Is it sad that to spell Bananas, I have to sing that chorus in my head?).

    Someone once gave me a recipe book for the crockpot and it’s the BEST thing ever. Seriously if I can do it, you can and it takes like five seconds. Also I’ll send you some of my fave easy recipes. Like super easy.

    Fashion blogs are love. They just are.

  15. Hello Summer Dear!! Just saw your email in my inbox, so am stopping by to drop my new address! Well… not really drop it, since I don’t actually have to do anything but yammer on about whatever I want(aka:comment) for you to have it. If I were going to post it… I’d do it NOW.

    I feel like I should have done a National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation style drum roll right there or something… I’m such a let down.

    I blogged about shopping today… right up your ally!

  16. Yay! I’m so glad you enjoy my insanity!!! {some of the comments are super sweet too} Makes me smile!

    Onto the other topic: what is it with boys needing so much cheering when they do one thing? Seriously, my husband will get upset that I didn’t “notice” that he cleaned up his own mess. And I’m like …really? FINALLY!!! No one does cartwheels when I clean up your mess every other day!!!

  17. Although I jump in occasionally, my hubby is the chef in the family. A great on at that. I will do cartwheels, cheers, dances, whatever as long as he keeps cooking. I love it.
