Winner Winner + Worlds Collide!

First giveaway ever, yay!  Annnnnd the winner is…Heather G!  I emailed you to get your sizes and mailing address.  Congrats!


And for those of you that didn't win a sweet housecoat, head over to CIS Clothing and pick something out for yourself.  If you enter GI at checkout you can get 25% off!  I didn't win, so I'm heading over as soon as I'm done this post.  I haven't decided if I'm getting the Chicadora Vee or the Anchorette, maybe both?  What're youuu getting?

Speaking of shopping!  Yesterday after work I went to LOFT.  I hate the person that put my work and the LOFT shopping center so close together.  I also hate the daily emails I get where everything is fucking 40% off all the time.  As the hubs would say, "I couldn't afford not to do it!"  Haha so that's what I told him last night when I came home with an outfit a pair of jeans (which were a single digit size, yessss) and three shirts.  I also went and shared a couple Blue Moons with the BFF because who doesn't like an impromptu beer?
Fruit + beer = win
Soooo I think it's official.  My worlds are colliding.  My secret-ish blog world is colliding with my real life and I don't hate it.  I started this blog in an effort to open up and put myself out there, to inspire other people, to meet like-minded people and to try to be almost as awesome as some people that inspire me.  So for the most part I've kept this "new me" to myself.  The worlds started colliding when I got the text below from a friend after Brandi (aka Mama Laughlin) whored out my blog…

Notice she says, "And now I love you too." Whatever bitch.
Since then I got an email from a Maryland reader who happens to live like 10 minutes away!  Holy shit!  I was am slightly nervous about that one, especially since I'm meeting her for dinner and drinks tonight.  Ahhh blind-ish date.  It's not gonna be awkward, it's not gonna be awkard.  She's gonna read this, hi :)  She also promised not to shank me, and we're meeting in public so I think I'll be alright.  If you never hear from me again, it's because she lied about the shanking.  Next world collision came when I was introduced to another Marylander through a friend.  Turns out this one knows my soon-to-be sister in law who knows nothing about this little world (nor does my dear brother).  She'll find out eventually.  Let's keep that one our little secret for a bit, shall we?

Remember those couple Blue Moons I shared with the BFF?  Welp, on my way home from that I called my parents.  How many beers does it take to give your parents the url for your blog?  The one in which you gratuitously use the words fuck, shit, bitch, asshole, whore, pussy and dick, yep, that one.  Answer is ahem, two.  Yeah ok so I was nervous, and I warned them about the aforementioned words and the case of sailor mouth.  You know what though?  They're the most supportive people in the history of the world and I don't think that'll ever change.  They're also really forgetful – both have already texted this morning to ask for the name of the blog again.  That was my way out, shit, I blew it (twss).

Look how fucking cute they are!

Well, if this is what it's like when worlds collide I think I'm ok with it.  Happy Thursday and wish me luck on my notsoblinddatethatsboundtobemoreawesomethanitisawkward.

  7. I am on my third blog as the first two blogs were found out by a certain person in my real life that I didn't want knowing about it. Bah. If this person wasn't such a bully and obnoxious I wouldn't have cared so much. I am glad the peeps who are finding out about you are cool peeps though! :)

    I am still trying to figure out if it is even worth reading. Your totally is!
