Turtlenecks and pancakes and one short poncho…thing.

Eeeehyeahokay. That’s how I feel today.

Couldn’t you tell by that bright smile on my face, ready to greet the day?

Turtleneck, Old Navy

Poncho, TJ Maxx?

Jeans, J Crew

Boots, Ebay

I don’t know what I was wearing when I tried on this poncho, but it must have been something fabulous, because I can’t remember for the life of me what would have compelled me to buy it. I mean, I like it. I like the way it hangs on my rolling rack, looking all pretty and warm and inviting. But on me…eh. It hits at a really weird angle and I thought I had a turtleneck that was extra long to compensate for it (hint: I apparently don’t).

And did you know that you can not find a single turtleneck in a store right now? I asked an Old Navy employee to point me in the right direction on JANUARY 2ND and he looked at me like I asked him to make me a pancake. So I had to leave turtleneckless (and pancakeless, come to think of it).

Anyway, maybe you don’t even see the problem with the lengths of my tops. Maybe I am still self conscious about my grandmother telling me I had “good birthin’ hips” when I was but a MERE CHILD OF THIRTEEN and maybe I just think I need long shirts that cover them.

One thing I do know is that I need a dang pancake now. Or maybe Cinnabon. I haven’t had Cinnabon in YEARS, omg. Cinnabon helped me pack on the Freshman 15 (plus 15). Maybe I should stay away. Or MAYBE I should shoot for triple Ds and eat some.WHO COMPLAINS ABOUT BIGGER BOOBS?

I love my logic.

The Bad in Goodwill

It’s a funny thing, but in my experience people who have lived here in Tallahassee and have since moved away don’t really like to say they’ve lived here in Tallahassee. I mean, just saying “Florida” gives an image of beaches and sun and basically any town besides Tallahassee, and what’s the harm in that? Or if you’re Creed, you say Atlanta.

The only exception is someone who likes football. And who is really dang proud of Florida State Football University.

One of my best friends went to UF and when I first met her she actually asked if I went there as well because I looked so familiar. And even though I DO NOT CARE FOR FOOTBALL AT…it kind of got me. This college rivalry is branded into your brain whether you like it or not. Just because you have no idea who the quarterback is does not mean you don’t know better than to ever date a guy from UF. As alumni of our respected colleges (and the fact that we both don’t care for football at all), any sense of rivalry is long behind us. Though we still have a hard time wearing opposing team colors.

Anyway, Sharon must have died or married a UF alumni (she later told friends she couldn’t see the difference) because I found THIS in Goodwill:
