- if I pick at a bump before bed, it will be a big honking zit on my chin by morning.
- a man’s electric razor is not meant to be used on a woman’s armpit, even in a rush. (Ow, ow, ow, OW my armpit.)
- not everyone loves shoes as much as I do. I cannot expect all seven of my bridesmaids to want to buy the same shoe. Even if they are purple and fabulous and on sale half off.

(Side note: they come in white too…should I buy them?)
- there’s only one person who can make me go to the gym. Me. So, um, self? Stop slacking this week.
- I should never doubt my reader’s taste in dresses. I’ll be ordering two to try. You’ll have to wait and see which ones!
- Cadbury chocolate mini eggs are bad for me. I need to stop eating them. Even if Michael’s mom gave me THREE BAGS for Easter.
- seeing boxes waiting on the doorstep from the store I registered at is so exciting. We are now the proud owners of a big bamboo cutting board!
- if my hair has the perfect combination of body and curl before bed, it will look like a clown wig when I wake up.
- if I get a text in the morning that says “there will be no heat at the office today…bundle up!” I SHOULD LISTEN.

I WANT THOSE SHOES! And yes, you CAN expect them all to buy the same shoes. That’s their job as BMs.
And sure, why not try them for yourself? At my friend’s wedding we all wore the same shoes and they were so comfy, she wore them too.
I still have them.

I LOVE those shoes. I found them and was SO going to get them to wear to my wedding, but of course, LIKE THE OTHER ONES, they don’t come in a size big enough for my clown feet. GAH.

some of these points can be summed up to say: always consult with and listen to ashley. she is smart. about some things. the end.

maybe i’ll buy them to make up for your BMs that don’t. those shoes are so pretty… and i love the shade.
and i’ve made the mistake of not putting the armpit adaptor on my own electric razor before… i feel (or i’ve felt) your pain, literally. it sucks. it’ll be gone tomorrow though : )
and as soon as you got that text message in the AM you should have text messaged back “sick. not coming in” because an office without heat? in RI? in March? no dice my friend.

3 bags? Ha ha, I think that is funny. I don’t know why but I do.

Dude, it kind of sounds like the future MIL is trying her hand at sabotage with those 3 bags…delicious as they are no one needs 3…1 works just fine

Put toothpaste on the bump instead of picking at it. I know it sounds weird, but it works.
And so does, uh, lots of concealer haha.

cute shoes! i think you should definitely get them.
and i think it’s the kid in us that still doesn’t listen or use common sense sometimes even though we’re 25. at least, that’s what i tell myself

My hair is the same way. Why is it that it always looks the best before bed?

those shoes are great.
and i have the same problem with cadbury mini eggs. i ate about one small bag this easter season and resolved to not eat anymore!

Get the white shoes!! So cute
Maybe they will be perfect for you.
Since I am finally eating again I am thinking chocolate before noon is perfectly acceptable, so I’m having a little. Moderation is key for me right now.
p.s. I want registry presents big time!

I LOVE cadburry mini eggs. I have to eat them 2 at a time for some strange reason. I guess I’m lucky I can only find them once a year, or it could get ugly!

Definitely get the shoes in white. If your girls don’t want to wear the purple ones, I will.
When I was getting married, I liked to check our registry just to see what people had purchased for us. Then I’d just wait for the funness to arrive!!

I’ll buy the shoes.
Yeah, what’s up with hair? Why must torture us so?

Uh, why must *IT* torture us so. Damn.

Oh, but the mini eggs, they are so damn good. And, um. razor burn in the armpit? only like the worst thing ever. ouch ouch ouch.

Dress #2! Dress #2!
Oh wait… that was yesterday.
I think that the Cadbury Easter Cream eggs are 154% more addictive than the Minis.

No no NO on the man’s razor! Woman! No! Well, I can’t yell at you since you already learned the hard way.
Love the shoes. Shocking, I know.

If I got a message that said no heat at work today, *I* would not be at work today!! And my hair never has the perfect amount of curl and body, even before bed–so I am ever so slightly envious.
March 26, 2008 at 1:01 pm

I still don’t get this whole cadbury egg thing.

That text would make me stay in BED!
Where I am today, by the way. All winter without a cold, and now I get one. On a scheduled vacation day. But at least I get to read blogs in bed.

Those Cadbury mini eggs are the best!! I’m so glad they make them for other holidays now!
And early wedding gifts? They’re the best!

Are You Willing to Change
I love the shoes! I’m addicted to the Cadbury eggs too! They are delicious! I’ve never tried a man’s razor! I can’t wait to see which dresses you chose.

Oh my gosh! You had me cracking up at my desk! The Cadbury mini eggs are the devil and I just asked my coworker not to allow me anymore! And I couldn’t agree with you more about presents at your doorstep when coming home from work, I LOVE IT!! Love you blog and shoe obsession – I feel ya!

Word on the zit, thing.
I love your shoe taste, Molly!
(And my hair is the opposite – when it is beautiful and straight at nights, the morning after I turn into a big, frizzy mess. Gah!)

Live and learn, lovey! (and then get Luvs? Whatever, ignore that part) and then keep on learning… and learning… and learning…

Holy shit, I did the bump thing last night and today it look like puberty hit me squarely on the cheek. Jeez. We learn too late, don’t we?
