WIW + Girl Crushes

Another week another loss.  Are you shocked as shit after reading my last few posts about my poor eating/drinking habits?  Yep, so am I.  It's a Christmas miracle!  Obviously I still need to work on cleaning that up, but it's still shocking to me.  Of course I'm excited, but I feel like I cheated on a test.  I'd be lying if I said I didn't text my closest friends and hubs this morning to share.  I'm officially out of the 150's and I don't think I'm gonna miss those sons of bitches, in fact, I kinda hope I never see them again.  Although, if I went back, I bet I'd find my boobs.  Lemme know if you see them somewhere.  Here's to trying harder next week so I can be a little more proud of what I post!

Seriously I need a fucking pedicure.

Now, onto a real phenomenon that deserves a bit of exploration.  Let's talk about THE GIRL CRUSH.  You've all had one, personally I've had plenty.  I remember my first one, do you?  I wanted a real definition of a girl crush so I turned to my most trusted source, urban dictionary (type your name in there and read around, shit's funny, you're probably defined as a whore at some point, maybe that's just me).  So the first definition that comes up (maybe written by a Brit) reads:

Feelings of admiration and adoration which a girl has for another girl, without wanting to shag (change to American English: bang) said girl. A nonsexual attraction, usually based on veneration at some level.

Then of course I had to look up the word veneration, because, whatever, I didn't know what it meant ok!  This one came from an actual dictionary.

respect or awe inspired by the dignity, wisdom, dedication, or talent of a person

So, that's all pretty accurate.  Admiration, adoration, respect and awe due to the dignity, wisdom, dedication or talent (sense of humor, sense of style, sense of adventure), yep, sounds about right.  Oh and it's always no homo.  Why do we develop these crushes so easily?  And I don't know about you but I always tell my husband when I have one.  I used to have a pretty massive girl crush on Mama Laughlin, that funny ballsy bitch.  I'm gonna ask a bunch of rhetorical questions, deal with it.  Do we develop girl crushes easier when we aren't happy with ourselves?  I imagine it's easier to swoon over someone else and want to be them when you aren't happy with what you have going on in your life at the moment.  Hence the "used to" up above, sorry Brandi…I crush no more, but I still love ya.

Do you tell someone when you have a crush on them?  Is that weird?  I'd totally take it as a compliment!  I had never been told I was being "crushed on" up until recently and holy shit I was flattered.  I was just talking to a friend about how all these blog/instagram/online ladies are so nice and encouraging and sweet!  Wouldn't it be cool if we were all like that all the time instead of being bitchy, moody, catty and all that other shit?  If we all just girl crushed on each other, oh the world would be a better place.  I think Big Pun said it best with this little gem from 1998…

I have a couple girl crushes here and there, they know who they are.  If you do, you should tell em, I bet it'll make their day, especially if you tell them why.  My all-time girl crush, Jennifer Aniston…sigh.  That one may break the rules a little bit in that I think she's ridiculously hot.

Happy hump day crushies.  Speaking of crushes, I want an orange one.  If you don't know what an orange crush is you're missing out.
