If I had a million dollars...

Well, the writers' strike is over. Am I glad? Yes. Did I miss my shows? Yes. Was it the end of the world that there weren't any new episodes on? No. I actually got some stuff done around the house instead of plopping my butt in front of the TV.

This strike was a bit interesting to me. People got so irritated that their shows weren't on, there were constant reruns, and we were bombarded with some (awful) reality TV. It's amazing how self-centered our society can be. On the message board I frequent, I was a little saddened by how many people were saying to just get it over with so they could watch new episodes again. Um, what about the writers? They were the ones getting screwed...

Fashion Don'ts

I can't help but people watch when I'm out in public. We just got back from our 3rd cruise and for some reason, I thought it was blogworthy to note things that should never be done again when it comes to fashion.

Here it goes...

-Fanny packs. Dude, they're out. Sorry.
-Men with shorts, black dress socks, and bright white tennis shoes. Sorry sir, you scream Snowbird in Florida. Did you forget your white socks in Wisconsin?
-Matching his/hers outfits. Please shoot me if you ever catch me and my husband doing this.
-Men with two pierced ears. Especially older (read: 70+) men with bigger diamond studs in both ears than what most engagement rings have.
-Women in matching tops/bottoms. You know what I'm talking about. Those outfits with the huge flowers, usually with shirts that don't fit (usually those unflattering draping shirts) and the elastic banded pants. No one needs that much going on in an outfit.
-Women's jeans with no pockets on the butt. Trust me. Your butt looks 100 times bigger without the pockets.
