chillin in a hotel

So today I just wanted to say a couple of things. First, don't flake on people. It's tacky. Also tacky: talking in an abnormally loud voice all the time especially if you already have a natural nasally tone, ripping people off, scamming people (oh dear me I have not even told you guys about the scam someone tried to pull on me, a $2000 scam...that is for another blog), slamming doors, and high waisted pants with high waisted shirts, like ew guys really? We are not in the 90s so take out that huge wad of gum you are chewing like a cow, let down that slicked back hair and give your face a break from the natural face-lift you've got going on and take off the choker necklace. Seriously you look like Renee Zellweger and it is not attractive. Second, I love making plans. Well ok maybe not. I love feeling like I've accomplished a lot during my day, and that usually means I need to make plans so I get everything done. P.S. I almost ended in a preposition, which is also tacky. Anyway, what I really love is to be spontaneous. But a lot of people aren't so spontaneous, it's quite sad. But whatever, some people are and I love those people. But I do enjoy making plans. Especially when I'm on trips because I don't always have the luxury of being completely spontaneous. Sometimes I do though and I really enjoy those times. Third, I really want to bring that whole cheek-to-cheek kiss greeting thing back into style. I know a lot of people do it at business meetings, but I think it needs to be mainstream again. Hug and cheek kiss thing. Ya I think that works. I mean in Europe they do both sides, we could at least do one. I think both is pushing it a bit much. And lastly for tonight, I really like shoes. I sometimes find it quite a shame that I have fallen into such a cliched womens obsession, but I have. It's just that I'm really into bright and bold colors and such, especially if the whole outfit is focusing on one bold piece. Many people do this with jewelry but I'm not too terribly much of a jewelry person. I can just rarely find that PERFECT piece. But not with shoes. Nope, shoes always come in exactly what I'm looking for. Except for heels. Though I did find some hot pink heels today for $50. The $50 part really turned me off though. Shame. This weekend I did finally find a good pair of black converse, and then these wonderful pieces below. Harajuku I pick you! I was quite frustrated because Nordstroms Rack in Portland, where I seem to be getting a lot of my best shoes, didn't have anything good. No good shoes, no good clothes. It was kind of a waste. Then I found these and my sister found a great outfit and then we got it in colors I would actually wear. Great. Let me tell you kids, my younger brother and sister know how to shop. Most of the time. But I have taught them well. Oh dear, I just have to tell you, we went to dsw, this shoe store that was supposed to be just 'so great' (it's where I saw the hot pink heels) and they were selling shoes for $50 that I would normally get for $18. Seriously, Sketchers, Keds, and Rocketdogs you can get for cheap! Don't by them for more than $22 tops! And the same goes for anything that looks like those brands. Seriously people wise up. Sheesh.

Anyway, Erin (the little sis) and I both compete in the feis (fesh, an Irish dancing competition) tomorrow. I guess I should pick a song to sing. But not now. It's 11 p.m. and I'm off to the gym and the pool. Hopefully everyone will finally be GONE and I'll have it all to myself. Lovely. Soon to come, a great blog I've been working on in my head. Great. Very involved. Multiple media to be used. It'll be just great.

have good days,
later
