Monster of Recession!!!

The article is describing the recession I guess. I just looked at all the graphics and giggled.

 

Off to study for my Mid-Term. Only a few hours to go and I have yet to study… bad.

Can Men Not Drive? Or Can Women Not Shut Up

What is it about women that terrifies them about letting a man silently drive between two white lines on the road?

Why do we nag them in ways that would make us pull over and kick them out of the car if they did it to us?

My husband tell me it’s because of the curse of Adam and Eve and that it makes me want to rule over him. Personally, I do not see how ruling over him applies to pointing out how horribly he drives everytime we are in the car.

As I nagged my hubby on everything from how he should be shifting, to the fact that the bumps on the road are to keep you in the lane not to drive over PLUS his constant looking over his shoulder for long periods of time and not at the stopped cars in front of us, I realized this would be a long 1 hour drive in traffic this evening. It took 5 minutes before I began to listen to myself and another 1/2 hour until I was sick of hearing my own voice.

Why am I incapable of shutting up and letting him drive? He’s tried a variety of tactics from having me tell him who is the property management company for each building we pass to having me read him the billboards, yet I can’t seem to keep my eyes off the road. I am afraid that if I dare to not critic him on his driving he might ____________? What am I afraid will happpen? A fender bender? A sore neck? Increased Premiums? That a crazed gorrilla might jump in front of us during those 4 seconds that hubby is looking back to see whose driving the minivan???

For my own sake  I need to quit.   The last time he was in an accident was 8 years ago and he was barely 20. He is supposed to wreck multiple vehicles at that age. Not like he doesn’t survive daily without me telling him how to drive either.

Regardless of why I do it or what I can do to silence myself…. my heart can’t take this much more and I”m only 28. Overpasses with him driving shouldn’t cause my heart to nearly fail.

My Hubby frequently tell me to  ”Put on your big girl panties and get over it” I think I will try that.  Either that or maybe a blindfold and a shot of vodka will do the trick.

Fabulous Flattering Retro Swimwear Choices ‘09

I am excited to announce that there are some fantastic retro One-Piece choices for summer and I am actually overwelmed with which to buy first!

Last summer I watched actions on Ebay on Genuine Vintage 1950s swimwear because I wanted a more modest swimming choice. Being 5′10″ that didn’t really work. I had finally given up and found a few I liked at Urban Outfitters and as I went to buy them I noticed that they had completely sold out… Bummer.

My obsession ended with the Decision to just splurge and buy the “Vamp” Swimsuit by Jantzen in Yellow and Gray

available at www.laraines.com

Then Today I stumbled across these at www.Delias.com – a complete DREAM because I’m tall and I was afraid that the vamp wouldn’t fit me well enough:

this one isn’t retro, but I love it’s sporty cute look:

Now, I can finally go back to Salt Creek Beach and drink my Mike’s Hard Cranberry and eat my frozen watermellon balls….. all I need is to wait for summer…. should be here in a week or so.

PS If you can fit in them I still recommend you purchase a true vintage swimsuit with a firm fabric and a zip up back…. it can’t be beat and you will never worry about another skinnier girl wearing the same suit.
