Observations...& Pet Peeves

Today, Brady (the little guy i watch) and i went to The Shops @ Mission Viejo.  We walked around a bit and did a little shopping... As we did there were a few things i observed (along with pet peeves).

  • Women in adds: There ALWAYS skinny (unless its Lane Bryant or the like). Clothes this season are focused on "skinny", "slim", "ultra tight". EWWW. I'm a "big girl" and let me tell you, this doesn't fit me! I don't like it! While i want to slim down a size or too, my legs & butt will never fit into those short shorts, or ultra slim pants. They just wont! Why do commercials, media, shows, movies, adds, songs, musicians, allll have to fit the super skinny look? It's not practical. I read PEOPLE Magazine at Brady's house (i don't spend money on it!) and it's like EVERY issue they are talking about the latest mother who lost all 20lbs of baby weight in 6 weeks or whatever. WOW, good for them, but that's not all there is to live for in life! I don't have time to do a 3 hr work out a day and fix myself spiffy meals like that! I'm not saying that you shouldn't be fit or i don't like skinny people, i'm just saying that shouldn't be the standard.
  • I'm just fat... not PREGNANT! To ride on the tails of my previous comment, i know i'm not as in shape as i used to be. I do have some areas to work on. Especially my stomach. =) As i am in the mall looking around in a store, a lady asks me how old my baby is. Brady is in the stroller as i am pushing... I told her he was 22 months old. She then replied saying, WOW! And another already on the way? But you just look so young! ----- Thanks Lady. ----- i smiled and left. Don't people know they shouldn't ask things like that, or make a statement, unless it's OBVIOUS, like i'm wearing a shirt that say "PREGO" or something? Haha...
  • While i'm at the MAC counter in Nordstroms i am looking for a nice eye shadow shade. I have a gift card i want to use up. 2 or 3 girls are at the counter and tell me they will be with me in a moment. Great, as i am looking at colors trying to decide, one of the girls comes up to me, "Hi Hun, what can i help you with"? First, i'm probably just as old, or not far behind this girl. She looks about 20, but probably older. But NOT enough to call me HUN! She continues on by calling me sweetie and such. REALLY? I just don't think that's appropriate to call a customer... at least at the MAC Counter. 
  • While it's the end of the summer i'm sure a lot of kids are still on break and shopping for the coming school year. I was surprised by how many children i saw running around the mall by themselves! There were two little girls in front of my while i was walking around that seemed so young! Probably 7 or so. I couldn't believe they were by themselves! My, what is happening in this world.!?!!
  • tammy-knickerbocker-2.jpgLastly...  while Brady and i were leaving we saw Tammy from the Bravo Show "Real Housewives of Orange County". I don't mean the be rude, but she's really not as attractive as they portray he to be in the show.






That concludes my rant. =) I hate living in the OC... especially SO County. Anyway, i'm glad this isn't what is important to me!!! =)

so much anger.....lol....Deanna....Who says skinny is the standerd? It can only be the standard to those who have put those companys as their supirior. If you dont respect that company, or like it, or like those bands, or like that movie. Then who can tell you thats the standerd. Sure more people follow that, but who sets your standerd? If your standerd is set by something else, then so be it. We also must remember, this world has nothing to offer. If you are desperatly seeking to actually find some remote fulfiling long lasting happyness from earthly things or quotas or standerds.....get real....I know thats not how you think, merely saying.

Second, I bet those little kids were mexican, you are going to have mexican babies....dont let them do that...Ill slap the crap out of them until their butt holes cry tears and their faces take craps.,,.,

THIRD!......people are retarded....who gives a crap if they think youre prego.....next time they ask....throw them for a loop....tell them you have cancer, or that you suffer from a tape worm.....or that your intestinal wall is being eaten by a contagiouse funges......HAVE SOME FUN!......or just start acting paranoid......do something...dont be a lamo and just walk away....that is no fun at all!

$. of course the little froofy movie star isnt hott....non of them are...only chelsea is!!
