Snarky Brides

There, I said it.

I think Tom's shoes are overrated and while the cause is good most of the shoes are ugly (I know, not the point) and I feel like a lot of people (not everyone, clearly) buy them because it's the cool thing to do. Plus I've heard they don't last long.

I could care less (or, could not care less? w/e) about the Royal Wedding.

I hate American Idol, The bachelor, dancing with the stars and all of those shows.

I don't like the saying "cray-cray" yet I keep saying it!

I realize this is like an UO and confessions. Oh well, I'm bored.

Re: There, I said it.

  • Tom's suck.  Just all around.
  • I used to think that Toms were the ugliest shoes around. Lately, though, I've taken a liking to them. I've tried them on a few times and I think I might actually buy a pair. From far away they look like most slip on shoes. The jury is still out on long-term comfort, though. That's good to know they don't last that long.

    I agree with all your other confessions, though. The only royal wedding aspect I'm mildly curious about is what Kate's dress will look like. Other than that, I don't give a damn!

  • I don't get Toms either. They're so expensive and apparently make your feet stink. (not the point but..at the same time, I don't think people would donate money to the cause without getting something in return...which is kind of sad.)

  • I am SO sick of my family telling me they want to  be grandparents, aunts, uncles ect...We are TRYING and don't want to tell you..but I almost do just to SHUT YOU UP!

    Ugh.  Ok feel better.

  • Toms are hideous! Ugh.
  • Aww Barb! That's got to kind of suck.
  • I don't want to get my family's hopes up by telling them we are trying for a baby.  We know it will take some time and I don't want to get stressed out even more.

    I wish I could just scream to them that we are working on it and these things take some time, but the last thing I need is more "advice" from my family about baby making.

  • I signed DH up for groupon today so he could 'gift' me a picaboo deal...he actually suggested it but I still feel like I screwed the system. 

    I have stopped being diligent about watching what I eat and I am starting to pay for it. Because I exercise enough I am not gaining yet but I def. not losing...and I am pissed at myself.


  • crash, that's the thing.  They aren't even donating money, they are donating a pair of shoes, which is so not sustainable.

    I think Toms are ugly too.

    I am actually interested in the Royal Wedding. We watched part of Charles and Di's wedding at MIL's today and I loved watching all the horses, carriages, dressed up guard and pretty much everything about it.

    I hate my lack of motivation to eat right and exercise. I have known about my upcoming vacation for 9 or 10 weeks, and planned on being about 5-10 pounds less than I am now and I haven't done a damn thing. It would have been plenty doable but I didn't even try.

    I was confused for a while and wondering "whothefuckis Tom??" until I realized its a brand.
  • I keep not buying stuff because I'm cheap and want to wait till we get married so we can register for it. I know it's pretty selfish but I don't care.

    I don't like Toms either.

    And I hate it when a business asks if I want to donate a dollar to whatever at the register and then the workers give me disapproving looks when I say no.  So what if I want to donate my money in a way other than $1 at a time at the checkout when I have no guarantee that it'll actually get to the organization. 
  • I have zero interest in the royal wedding.  In fact, I just told Jered that about 5 minutes ago and then noticed he was watching a special on it.  He goes "oh...yeah totally, me neither" and changed the channel really fast. LOL

    This is more of a confession, but ever since my friend basically said Im obviously not doing anything right and thats why im not losing weight, and then went on to brag about how easy she loses weight when she tries, im hell bent on busting ass and losing. Im not saying a WORD about it again though, because shes crazy competative and hates to lose and I dont want to deal with that, I might even pretend im doing bad things opposed to good to trick her. I kind of want a leg up on her.
  • Ha Nebb I love your attitude! I love me a good silent, unspoken competition.

  • SEWF, your grandpa wants you to be a baby in 9 months?  Like Benjamin Button?  ;)

    I so get that, Nebb.  That's how it always felt with the dog-abandoner.  She made me vindictive.

    To go with this. I hate that the company I work for requires us to ask for donations. I don't like being the to make someone feel bad for not donating. Plus it makes me feel like shiit as well because you shouldn't be made to feel bad while shopping.

  • Ciaram- I work for a medical office and my boss wanted me to ask all our patients for donations for a walk we did. I was like I am not doing that! That's so tacky. It's bad enough that corporate places do that but a small, private practice medical type office? no.
    p.s. I love seeing you and that bump over here.
