ROOM FULL O'LADIES

CRAZY ADORABLE LADY THINGS

1. I can survive an entire weekend around strangers without drinking or stress-eating.
  1. (a) With difficulty.
  1. (b) And awkwardness.

2. Easy access to migas and queso is a privilege that should not be taken for granted. I know most of my readers are Austinites, so I really want you to think about this before you go to sleep tonight.

3. I'm a little nervous that years from now when I look back at this I will only remember not being able to eat a cupcake.
   3. (a) Or seven cupcakes.

I regret that I didn't get to know you guys better.

4. Meeting your husband online? Not that weird!

5. My blog is super ugly. I mean, no one said that to me, I figured it out on my own after looking at so many blogs that are not super ugly. There's a chance I'll actually do something about this at some point.
  5. (a) Not a great chance.

6. Raspberry + mint leaf + cute straw = bottled water that is slightly less sad.

Slightly. Okay, I don't know, maybe it's even worse.

7. Apparently an enormous round belly can elevate your Target/Old Navy sale-rack wardrobe and make it seem very cute. Most effective/pain-in-the-ass accessory EVER.

8. I seem to think that being early to things will somehow earn me extra credit.
  8. (a) It totally does!
  8. (b) In the form of standing around nervously.

9. My comfort zone is tiny. Being outside of it is stressful.
  9. (a) I want to go back next year.
