I'm sick of bugs everywhere. Earrings, necklaces, sweatshirts, tops, ew. Go back to flowers or come up with something else. It doesn't matter if it's made of pretty stones, it's still shaped like a fly

My boy's 1st birthday party Sunday is all I can think about! I'm so undecided on what I want him to wear...and myself for that matter!
And I live in STL and the Ferguson situation has me very sad. My work is minutes from the heart if it and I am very thankful to have the option to work from home right now.

I'm really dreading going to my in laws. I never sleep well and they fail to realize why sleeping in to me isn't 8am.(I work second shift at a hospital) plus they are cheap and don't like to do anything so visits there are sitting around staring at the baby(aka my 2 year old niece) so I get bored fast.

i think a former coworker's nursery is HEINOUS. i'm also full-on green eyed monster that she's having a baby at all.
i have several crafty friends. some of them make really amazing things (ahem @natariru), but if you're rolling up on FB with your single crochet scarf and RAVING about how mad talented you are...i'm side-eyeing you. granted, this is mostly one chick who is hardcore in BEC territory.
Last night I watched a makeup tutorial in which the artist (gently) slammed the whole phenomenon of drag queen-level makeup among gurus on Instagram. Her complaint gave me life.
I also watched a tutorial by a professional artist who said that those with deep-set eyes really can't do a dark, smoky eye without looking like they've been beaten up. I always thought this but part of me wondered if perhaps I just wasn't talented enough to make this happen on myself. It felt good having confirmation that it just isn't right for my eye shape.
I wanted tunics for this season and every damn one I find that has a good shape and doesn't just hang straight has a cowl neck. Blech.
I tried on the most gorgeous, beautifully-fitted top at Ann Taylor the other day but the arm holes are cut so that my bra is showing under my arms AND on my shoulders. It's a dressy/formal top so this isn't right. So, so disappointing.
Ugh, I had a horrible dog morning. My American Bulldog slid down the steps. Then my Boston is acting off, my husband gave him a bath and brushed his teeth last night but he is still being weird this morning. He was all clingy and laying on the couch which is the total opposite of his normal.
My DH started a new job and his old job cancelled our insurance, it was supposed to go through the 30th and we never got shit on COBRA which I am pretty sure is illegal. Luckily, his new district waived our waiting period and starting us Dec 1. I know his final check is totally wrong. But we still haven't got the deposit summary from his last check on the 15th. Now I have to send him to the school to find out WTF is going on but he works for a school district so that isn't going to happen until next week.

I just found out that our new house made it through underwriting! I'm so excited! I want to move so bad and this house has almost everything. I really want the heated floors in our master bath right now since it's so cold here. We take possession 5 days before Christmas and I don't care if Christmas dinner is Absinthe and take out on the island with no decorations.
I spent half the day at the salon yesterday and about 80% of my hair is pink. We are going for coral in the Spring. I love my colorist. I give her inspiration pics and control and we end up with something better than the pics.
sierramist03, we went through the same mess with my family for years since DH works 7 on/7 off thirds. Everyone thinks he's magically going to be ready for anything Monday even though he just got home at 7:15AM and they want to hit Antique Malls at 8AM or go straight to breakfast eliminating his sleep entirely. I work on my stuff overnight so we can have time together. Houseguests now know that waking either of us before noon on his first day off will not get them invited back and when we go to see family we rent a house, condo, or grab a hotel room and unplug the phones.

pooh8402, mryrcn, and kris356, have you ever tried Hoiday Craft Shows/Bazaars for dog clothes. I think you could probably find them there or order somethng from somone who makes smaller dog clothes. I met a musician at a signing who did custon dog clothes to supplement her gigs and for fun last winter, but she is just finishing touring with Jenny Lewis and then hitting Europe on her own for a mini tour. If her clothes show up again, I can keep you posted if you'd like.

Have you tried this tunic at Target?
I have more of an overwhelmed vent. We went to the pediatrician yesterday and My Girl wasn't gaining adequately. So now we're on a combination of breastfeeding and formula - which is fine.
BUT, we totally failed to get flu shots and my husband has come down with the flu. So now I'm on exclusive baby and dog duty, all while trying to make sure that I don't get sick before my return to work on Monday. And really, I'm just really concerned about what his being sick will do to our Thanksgiving plans.
Flameful: I may run to Kohl's tonight to grab a blanket I've been eyeing. I feel like bringing the employees doughnuts or something. Yea, I'm part of the problem today.

PLEASE POST LINKS because I love bug jewelry!!!! LOL
I'm so annoyed with DH side of the family. I've finally come to the conclusion I have to stop putting in so much effort, but then I get so bothered by the whole thing.
