Marissa Miller.
So this is what 0% body fat looks like.

She’s been my current girl crush for awhile.
Sorry Giselle. The dream was broken when I met you and you were shorter than me. I COULDN’T BELIEVE IT. I thought you were a natural 6’0” amazon. Guess not.
Chanel Iman is also the cutest. But not a girl crush because…she’s like 15? Yikes. In person, she’s like negative size 2. Not even kidding.
THE ANNUAL VICTORIA’S SECRET SHOW IS MY FAVORITE DAY OF THE YEAR!

I would like to thank Maybelline for including 12 color shade samples in this magazine insert. About time. Not everyone is a standard classic ivory. Me? I’m honey beige.

Seven years I lived in NY, there were many times I just wanted a car…to not be limited by subway and bus lines. Now that I’m in a car city…I miss the subways. Traffic stinks! :)

I have to leave at 6:15AM tomorrow to get to a way-too early scheduled work meeting in another location from where I normally work.
But I am leaving work at 1p 1:30p latest. So there’s that.
I’m also wearing my black leather riding boots tomorrow with a rockin’ mini dress. Casual yet chic Friday? I say yes. They’re lucky I don’t stroll in wearing my Christmas tree sweat pants and glasses with velcro curlers still stuck in my hair. I mean really.

I’m getting irritated that people cannot pronounce my last name.
And the way they say it is completely unnatural. I don’t even know how they come up with the erroneous phonetic configuration that comes out of their mouth based on the mere five letters of my last name. Umm really? That’s how you think to say it? WOW. OK. HOW ABOUT NO.
What is the proper protocol for name correction? How many times until I’m allowed to bop people on the head with the nearest soft object? I say 3.

Today was my favorite day at my new job (thus far) because I got to interact with the students and talk to them about their college/career choices. This will not be the main component of this particular job but I will cherish the times I get to do it because ultimately, advising is where I want to to end up.
My favorite exchange of the day:
Student: “I am gonna open up a beauty salon so I don’t need no college.”
Me: “Ok, but what if we do a two year certificate in business admin so you can run your beauty salon and be fierce?”
Student: “Ok Kayla, I do that.”
—-Hi, I think I just planned a future. What did you do today? :)

You know what I think is so adorable? Kids wearing glasses.
I had a patient that was about 6 years old who needed glasses. He thought nothing of wearing glasses and was excited to pick out a super cool frame, until his mother said,
“Oh no, he has to wear glasses? That’s terrible. Everyone is going to pick on him.”
She said this right in front of him. He went from a bubbly happiness to extreme embarrassment in a matter of seconds. I was so angry at his mother, livid actually, that she would make her own son feel so inadequate.
So I’m trying to clear up this terrible idea that glasses make you appear weak or that they are nerdy/ugly/stupid. Glasses are cool people. Spread the word!!
I got glasses in second grade. They were pink wire frames! I suffer from the worst eyesight ever and I enjoy contacts but I love my current thick black framed glasses too! They’re…nerdy chic. :)

I ran to an interview after work today and with 4 minutes to spare, found myself in the CAR POOL LANE for afternoon pick up…with roughly 100 cars in line.
Fail.
Somehow I made it out of the line, to the right part of campus, into the building, into the right office at exactly 3p.
All this in the pouring rain while wearing 3-inch heels. My hair went limp n’ fuzzy but my outfit was fly.
Win.

HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY TO MY SISTER
You can now get a credit card, an ING savings account and go today to retake that hideous driver’s license photo from when you were 15.5!
Yay.com!

I like Megan Fox. I like her eyebrows, her shiny hair and her say-whatever-I-want attitude. Oh. And she’s hot. There’s that.

Vanity
When I accept a Facebook friend request, rather than going and looking at the person’s profile, I first go back and look at my own profile. I try to imagine what it will look like through their eyes. You know, what they’ll think of my pictures and whether the posts on my wall make me seem like a fun, funny person. That sort of thing.
Then, if I have time, I might go check out their profile.
Or not.
(via duplo)I thought I was the only one.
Ditto.

So here’s what I don’t get about suburban people:
They go outside and blow/rake/mulch/build piles with the fall leaves…everyday.
Why bother? You know the leaves will be back in 24 hours.
This is why I am a city person, I don’t do yard maintenance.
If for some reason I got permanently stuck in the Midwest (as I am temporarily here but only until I finish my Masters, tops), I would be the neighbor who never raked my leaves. Ever. I would just let them blow into everyone else’s yard. That’s right.
Battle with leaves: YOU CANNOT WIN.
