Opinion

So my new obsession, obviously, is what things I can buy for my house. I, also obviously, want everything. I'm trying to make a ranking lists of needs versus wants. Currently , I'm obsessing over what kind of kickass chandelier to hang in the dining room. I love chandeliers and I need a perfect one. My dining room is small, so it can't be too overwhelming. I'm eyeing this one. http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Fabric-Shade-3-light-Crystal-Chandelier/3672050/product.html What are our thoughts? It seems a little large. And I'm not sure if I want the fabric shade when I could get another one that's just crystals. On the other hand, the shade makes it a little more casual. I'm not trying to decorate a brothel, after all.

Well Kiss My Grits

I passed my CPON exam. Which is probably a good thing and a bad thing. Good, cuz I paid all that money to take it and it shows I'm halfway competent at my job. Bad because this will continue to enforce my belief that I can coast by in life, considering I went into the exam without cracking a book. The day I get my comeuppance will not be pretty.

Comments and Customer Reviews

I absolutely love them. They are probably the number one thing that keeps me at my computer for an extended length of time. People are just so excitable over the smallest things. iTunes reviews are the best. Folks get passionate about their music. But I read reviews about clothes, shoes (oh, I love shoe reviews), youtube videos, celebrity gossip pages, articles, everything. And what's funny is that I'm last person who should read them. I am so easily influenced.

YEAH!!!!

It's my birthday, it's my birthday!!! I'm buying everyone....Ugg boots!! I don't know why I get all excited over my birthday. I talk it up for weeks and weeks, then I never do anything. Let's see...I took a walk. Rode the bus. I went to the farmer's market. And I may attempt to study for my CPON exam (though why I think I'll be successful today when I haven't been all week, I don't know). Maybe I'll go to the movies. I might go to Sephora and get my free lip gloss. I should get official acceptance on my house today, so I guess I bought myself a home for my birthday. But, the day is still young! Anyways, everyone else needs to reflect on how much I mean to them and what an integral part of your lives I am. Deuces peeps and pimps!!

Geez O' Peets

I forgot how necessary I was to everyone's existence. Maybe I haven't posted cuz I have no life (though that never stopped me before). Well, here are some Erica life updates.

• My birthday is TOMORROW!!!! 27 baby!! And still act like a 7 -year-old.
• Though I shouldn't jinx myself, for all intents and purposes, I've almost bought a house. Just the financial stuff to get through, and I should close on June 30th. Yah!! Things to paint, stuff to buy!!
• I'm part bird. Not because I have hollow bone syndrome. But because I have trouble distinguishing between open air and really clean glass. Multiple times now, I've either avoided what I thought was glass or hit what actually was glass. Wow.
• My new favorite live journal is called FATShionista, and it's totally just entries from fat girls everywhere that love clothes and fashion. I feel like I've found home. Especially cuz every Friday people post 'clean you closet out' sales.
• I'm awesome. And gorgeous. And a breath of fresh air.
• This is my 93rd post! Will have to do something kickass for number 100!!

Those are my current updates. Hope you vultures are satisfied.

Boo

I put an offer in on the most perfect house ever, only to have some douche bag couple offer more and steal from me. Bastards. That was my house!!! I hope they both lose their jobs and can't afford to buy it. Well, that wasn't nice. But I'm goddamned sick of looking at houses.

Question

Do strippers really like clear plastic heels? Or is this just the stripper stereotype? And what's the appeal? If you're a good stripper and actually making some kickass dough, wouldn't you invest in footwear that's a bit classier? Or is that the problem, and there aren't a lot of classy strippers? They're all just trying to pay for college, after all. Anyways, at least get some cool non-plastic platforms or some peep toe pumps. And in case anyone pretends to be offended, I really have no problem with strippers. Everybody's got to make their money.

This Is Weird

So I've noticed that whenever I have to go the bathroom, as soon as I walk in the door, I take my glasses off. And I don't just do it at home, I do it at work too. I don't do it in public bathrooms though, for obvious reasons. Isn't that weird? Like, what correlation is there between sitting on the toilet, and not wanting to see? I guess it's just another Erica mystery we'll never solve.

Suspicious

I was out shopping today. And the sales people were oddly nice and talkative. It kinda made me uncomfortable. Why are you being so friendly? One guy actually told me that he liked my dress and it was so appropriate for the nice spring weather. And he liked how my sunglasses matched. Really? You're seriously saying this to me? And I'm pretty sure he was straight. Then the guys in Jamba Juice were all chatty. Let's bring it down a notch, shall we? Though to be honest, the chick in Little Luxuries was kind of a bitch. But they always are. I just can't be satisfied.

Why I Love Einstein Bagels

For many reasons. I love it even more than Panera. While everything is delicious, one new item makes me want to go there everyday: Bagel Poppers. Visualize, instead of a donut hole, a bagel hole. That sounds a little inappropriate. Anyways, they come in brown sugar & cinnamon, sweet cream cheese, and blueberry. I've tried the first two and I want to slap myself, they're so good. Snaps to Einstein's. Oh, and how's my diet going, you ask? Yeah, let's not talk about it.
