My real UO. I don't like all these books and seminars about people's success stories. At work they're having a seminar about this guy who had a career, a family, kept it all balanced and managed to competitively play chess. It's supposed to be inspirational and offer tips on how to do all that. Good for you guy. But I'm practically bleeding out my ears trying to keep my life together.
I know some people are successful and have it all, but man, I need a few books and seminars that says it's ok to not have it all. I need the book, "Happy with your mediocre life"
I'd bet money that man had an amazing and understanding wife.
I'm the opposite. I'm wearing pants today for the first time since early May because I'm completely out of passably clean skirts/dresses, and I'm not happy about it. Dresses rock! You don't have to worry about anything matching because it's a one piece outfit. Love it.
I didn't know thighs sweated. I get feet, armpits, lower back, and forehead sweat, but how do thighs ever get hot enough to sweat? I feel like mine have no sensation of hot/cold.
Well, not only am I on the curvy side, but I'm also knock-kneed. So my thighs, if I'm not wearing anything under a dress, are constantly touching, thus creating sweatiness for me. Ew. ;0)

I like dresses because you only have to pick out one thing. And I also never wash dresses. Is that gross? Nah.
Welllllllll kinda. I mean it depends how long you wear them for. I sweat and spill stuff so I have to.
Lol hot.
My the only time I'm not in a temperature controlled enviroment (in my dresses) is the walk from the house to the car then the car to the office. Not much sweating!

Very true. But if I think about how much I spend on clothes in a given year and invested that money instead, then its value would increase significantly over the course of 15 years. Like I said, I harbor some guilt, not that it stops me from getting the pretty dresses.
Totally not picking on you, just trying to reduce your guilt
Aren't interest rates still less than 1%? I don't see them sky rocketing anytime soon. How much money are you spending that that interest rate -even after 15 years- is going to matter?
Put your kid in whatever you want while they let you and tell your friend her purse is ugly and to mind her own business.
I appreciate that, really. It's nice to have someone or several someones to help me rationalize. You're right, too. Her purse is ugly.
anyway, everyone has something they spend money "unnecessarily" on. Somebody may judge you for buying nice dresses but if they took a good look at themselves and their finances they would find things that they spend money on that they don't truly "need". That's just life and being a human.
OH NO, But you don't understand. I NEED to have an expensive car. We can't live without cable! Of course I have an iphone,duh, I have three. And two ipads. Childrens clothes are silly though and a waste of money
Since we are talking about clothes and college......
I can guarantee that what I spend now is MUCH less that what I will be spending when the boys are teenagers. And they are BOYS. I can only imagine girls and the $$$$ spent on clothes and make up and tampons.
So, I feel like I'm getting a bargain now no matter where I shop.
***I know I don't HAVE to buy name brand stuff (or make up or whatever) for my toddlers or future teenagers one day, so don't flame me okay?
You're probably right on this, too. But since I actually like baby clothes and dislike teen girl fashion, I wishfully think that maybe I'll spend less.

The Outlander dislike is making me feel a little better. I'm having a really hard time getting into it and I feel like there's something wrong with me.
I love wearing dresses ever since I bought this spray at a Pure Romance party. I don't know what it's real purpose is, but the only reason I'm spraying it in between my thighs is to prevent chub rub.
ME TOO! Whenever they are oohing and ahhing over granite (especially ones with high contrast veins and flecks) I gag over how ugly it is. Especially BROWN GRANITE!
I have concrete countertops and they make me want to jackhammer them. They were great pre kids and I love the modern look but they piss me off with their maintenance. Anything acidic - lemons, vinegar an orange- etched them and it's a serious ordeal to fix.
I have to seal them often and wax them by hand because we actually use our kitchen. Sucks.
We will likely switch them to white Corian before we move.
I love white marble, but it isn't practical for counter tops.
I love the granite my parents have, but it's an exotic with very visually interesting shading and veining. It's a golden honey color. Seeing the whole slab of it was like looking at natures version of a subdued, tonal Pollock.
I have no qualms about plastic surgery. In fact, I'm envious of the people who are brave enough to have procedures done. I'm chicken shit.
I'm planning on getting one line in my "11" botoxed next month and its making me anxious. What if I'm that .00001% that has an adverse reaction?!!
I really want to try the freeze lipo procedure but I'll wait until my 40s. Or something to get rid of my c-section lip. Its not awful but it bugs me.
You'll love your lack of 11s. I have made it to 6 months between visits, and I love it. Photos look so much better too, without looking ragey all the time.
