Remember how I said this blog would have rants from everyday life? Well, today is one of those days. This has been your warning.
So, I was driving through town after visiting my local Starbucks. I'm stoked as I sip on my coffee frapp...stoked until a moron pulls out in front of me, going less than 5 miles an hour, then after I blow my horn at this idiot for a full minute, he continues driving 5 miles an hour for the next few miles.
It was dark, but believe it or not, my car has these things called headlights and yes, they can be seen from a distance. My car also has this fantastic feature called a horn, and this girl right here knows how to use it. Actually, I'm surprised it still works since I have to use it so much. Hey, it saves my voice since I don't have to scream at the aforementioned morons.
Other drivers are my biggest pet peeve, following stupid people. My city has the WORST drivers ever. Most of them either don't know how to use their blinkers, or they saved a couple of bucks and bought a car that doesn't offer blinkers as a feature. They drive dangerously fast or slow. Yes, driving slow can be dangerous. They stop at green lights, and fly through red lights. I know this happens in every city, but my city just seems to have a huge amount of horrible drivers.
My rules of the road:
Don't pull out of people when they're close enough to plow into you.
Don't drive 5 miles per hour in areas with set speed limits.
Don't get in my beloved fast lane on the Interstate and slow poke around, because I will blow you off the road. The left lane is for faster moving traffic. That faster moving traffic is me in my silver Camry.
Don't let the 4-door Camry fool ya. It goes way faster than you think, and the driver of said car is very skilled.
This has been a rant.

It's called fashion
Ok, so I went on a shopping trip Friday, and I found and bought lots of things (go me!). However, when I was looking at clothes, shoes and bags, I was also doing a bit of people watching, which we all do. In watching these people, who were also shopping, I noticed that most of them looked like they rolled out of bed, fell into their closets and left their homes without even stopping to look in the mirror to see what they looked like.
Why someone would do this is beyond me. Call me pretentious, call me a snob, call me whatever you'd like, but deep down, you know I'm right.
The biggest fashion crime I'm constantly seeing is baggy sleep pants with Uggs (or Ughs, as I call them), topped off with a huge sweatshirt, sweater or t-shirt. No sweetie. This is wrong on so many levels.
IF you're going to wear Uggs, please pair them with a well-fitting pair of skinny jeans, topped with a cute sweater or cardigan. Please make sure it somewhat matches the color of the Uggs.
The next fashion crime I see TOO much of is t-shirts that are too tight on top of skinny jeans that are too tight on girls that do not dress size appropriately. Call me snarky, but it's not a good look. Since when is it ok to show a muffin top? NEVER. That is your answer.
The moral of this story is to wear clothes that fit. Wearing the proper size flatters the body. Clothes that are too big make the wearer look larger than they are. Clothes that are too small also make the wearer look larger than they are. It's a no win situation.
And wear clothes, not sleep pants. I mean if you're rolling out to the drugstore at 2am, then sleep pants are perfectly fine, but during the light of day, keep your sleep pants/Uggs combo at home. Just because you've seen a celebrity wear this in a magazine does not make it ok.
This has been my rant of the day.
As I mentioned in the first post, there will be rants about every day life, and things like that. I will also post nice things from time to time.

Greetings and salutations
Welcome to my blog. I promise it will be a wild ride, as I will blog about happenings, life, crazy things, stupid people and horrible drivers.
I'm pretty opinionated sometimes, but I will do my best to behave. No guarantees though.
I will also change names to protect the innocent or not so innocent if need be.
So, get comfy, grab some coffee (or your fave beverage) and enjoy.
