Shelly O'
I had to get up at an ungodly hour this morning because someone at my job thinks it’s a good idea to schedule training for 8 o clock in the goddamn gosh darn morning.
Outfit: I’m channeling our stylish first lady Mrs. Michelle Obama, except she would have worn pointy shoes with this dress. Do you notice that when those royal and presidential types meet, they always have their...

Karma
I’m having problems with a program at work so I took a screen shot of the error page, sent it to the help desk, my supervisor and the help desk person’s supervisor because I’m FRUSTRATED!! Very FRUSTRATED with this same issue this person has been working on since last week.
Except.
I forgot to close all my *ahem* “extra activities” tabs, like tumblr, facebook, perez...
That's my jam!
You’re alone in the elevator. You have your headphones on. Your SONG comes on…
Then the elevator doors open to let other people on.

Optimist
So how was your weekend? Ok, lemme stop, I’m only asking how your weekend was because I want so bad to tell you about my weekend and it is impolite to unload your weekend on people without asking about theirs first. And since no one, from when I woke up this morning to the time I hit post has asked me about my weekend, you all get to be first!
Sunday, my friends and I went to a singles...
Tumblr Obligations
When kids don’t understand our tumblr obligations, I mean what is their problem?
For instance, my son was seething eyeballing me in the corner going “like now, you’re taking a picture now?!?”
His impatience to go re-take the driver’s permit test this morning is annoying, right? Right?
Wish him luck!
Teenage Driving
The other day, when my son walked calmly out the testing room and told me he failed his learner’s test, I thought he was pulling another “gotcha” joke on me. His emotions were so closed that I almost wished the girl who came out the room before him and busted into hysterical crying was my daughter. Her grandfather (or father) just stood there not knowing what to do. Poor guy.
I opened my obnoxious...
Resolution
I promised myself that this year, 2012, I’m going to save, save and save but already, I’m doing it wrong.
See I went to my favorite “vintage store” the other day just to window shop, a terrible idea, and ended up leaving with this dress for a grand total of $0.75. A bargain! Yeah, except that I left with some other dresses that I had to have that cost more than $0.75 a piece.
But I aint goin’...
WWYD? (What Would You Do)
Would you…
open a checking account for your 15 year old?
Fix his kindle that was a christmas present from his church? (Scenario: Your child doesn’t read. Whoever thought getting him a kindle is an idiot. You are the one who has to produce your card number to BUY Ebooks he won’t read. And lastly, it is Jan 11, the kindle is broken already.)
Make a bigger deal about the mold in...
Who wore it better?
Can you help me decide who wore this dress better?
Me, June 28, 2011?
Or me, today?
Fact: My friend wore this same dress to a 70s themed Halloween party. I saw it on her facebook page the other day and it reminded me to wear mine. To work. Again. Today. The year 2012.
Amish Folk
Can you tell I was really feeling myself Saturday? (Below)
This is what I wore to run errands (Library, shoe repair, groceries).
I got the knitted top off ebay, it makes any baggy shirt conture the body to give it curves.
Today, I went for my ruffled top - and black slacks.
My weekend was fabulous! We went to go see this band called the Amish Outlaws. True story. Their shtick is performing...

PETA, look out.
See my precious cat in the corner giving himself a manicure with my furniture? “So cute!”
Yeah, that’s why I can’t have nice things in my home. (ANGRY face)
ps: I still haven’t lost these dayum 15 pounds I gained.
outfit: Blouse…who am I kidding, I’m broke, I stopped buying clothes and started reinventing the stuff I’ve owned for years. Nothing...

A Simple Life
I smell Fall in the wind, my favorite time of year.
Autumn, the season for hibernating for soul and sanity’s sake. From family, friends, tumblr, all that I hold dear.
My Loves.
Returning with a restful soul in Winter, bringing obscure love gathered in peaceful solitude and deeper smile lines to share.
xoxo with all my heart.

Throwback Thursday
I placed my order online on the Chipotle website because I hate waiting in long lines- especially at Chipotle where the lines are guaranteed to be out the door. I get to the store, bypass the long line and proceed to the register because I’m the smart one, lines are for dummies.
Fifteen minutes later, I was still waiting on my food and the line was gone- including the people who walked...

dresspants:
If I don’t answer a message, it’s not cause I’m a jerk.
It’s cause Tumblr is a jerk.

Good Intentions
My co-worker Chaka cornered me in the staff kitchen to ask me about another co-worker Zulu.
Chaka does not like Zulu. At all.
Zulu is intelligent, hardworking, and has saved my butt on many occasions. I interact with Zulu everyday, she’s one of the nicest people with whom I’ve had the honor to work.
Chaka spoke with Zulu once and formed an opinion about her.
You know, I’m not...

Blue
outfit: I’ve worn this blouse lots o’ times but not this way w/blue pumps. Makes it feel like a brand new outfit.
Sick of Drama
Omgawd! Tumblr and it’s drama - I wish this heffa would stop being a drama queen. Arrgh. Annoying. Unfollowed.
“I don’t believe in any gods or goddesses, because they are so obviously human...”
– Andrew Copson , Chief executive, British Humanist Association (via New Statesman)
(Exactly- religion/god has man’s grubby fingers all over it. ‘Indelible marks of human manufacture’ is SPOT ON.)
Parenting
My son has taken up cooking without my consent. Look up careless in the dictionary, you’ll find my son’s picture as the definition. I simply don’t want to come home one day to find all my shoes and three cats burned to the ground on account of him testing out his cooking skills, when he really has no reason to cook- there’s plenty of food in the fridge.
He’s 15, of...
War
So I stepped on the scale yesterday (bad move) to check on my 10 pound weight lose progress, my scale laughed and told me I gained 5. more. pounds.
I’m declaring war.
On my 15 pound weight gain.
This is ridiculous!
Don’t worry though, my ass is like woe! See, I’ve been doing incline running on the treadmill for the past few weeks- the highest incline is 15, I can do 12 at a...
Call Tyrone
outfit: So this is the dress I wore the freak ‘um way for my date last month. This is the dress I’m wearing the non freak ‘um way today.
Today, non freak ‘um
For my date July 6, freak ‘um

My Own FITSPO
Beauty is EVERYTHING
My date tells me he has 4 children; Adam 8, twins Cain and Abel 6, Eve 4. He also tells me that Adam had a birthday earlier this month and casually mentions that two of his kids were born this month and two in August.
I asked him; “which two were born in August?”
(filed under: why Abbie is still single.)
Tumblr, please assure me that my beauty is enough, intelligence is not that...
Rude a** Bitch
We all agree that it is polite to only fart when no one else is in the vicinity right?
Well this lady at my job wearing a multicolored blouse of green, brown and blue hues with jeans and green shoes learned the hard way, that farting in an elevator when you’re alone does not technically count as “alone” after all.
Because coming from the 13th floor, someone is guaranteed to get...

I'm Perfect
How do we feel about dating someone who makes us want to be a better person? Yes? No? Because I kinda don’t want to be a better person…crap!
We’ve been having weather with temperatures in the triple digits and I can’t run outside anymore so I broke down and joined the gym at work.
Now listen, I was in the military for 4 years where I shared berthing with over 100 women...
It's Friday, Friday...
Never been this relieved to get to Friday….this week kicked my butt- while my job is fun, sometimes it can get very needy and stressful. What keeps me going is Fridays, and the ability to live comfortably and keep buying shoes from my paycheck. Hey, we all gotta find something to make this life worth living.
So yesterday was fun! Fun that I had to go on FB to find out one of my great-aunts...
