Muddy heels









I'm at a rare loss for words, and I think it's because I haven't gotten enough sleep. I always get weird when I'm tired. I screw up my sentences a lot. Words go where they shouldn't. Tenses change when they should not be changed. I talk like a caveman. No, really, I do. I also am extra sensitive and touchy and on edge, resulting in random bursts of anger, like this afternoon, when I was on the phone with my boyfriend helping him with a math problem.

Him: So, you add the sequence together, and what do you get?
Me: Lemme get my calculator.
Me, rummaging through things: I don't know...where it is...
Me: I don't know where the hell it is.
Him: It's okay.
Me: No really. I don't know where it is.
Him: ...
Me: OMG. These mother fucking...CRAYONS...Jesus Christ! I don't fucking have time for this. You know, I have enough to do without worrying about this shit.
Him: ...
Him: Whoa.

I've came to the conclusion that I'm what I absolutely never thought I'd be: a high-maintenance girlfriend. Pretty soon I'll be popping out babies and wearing stuff like this and DVRing Ellen so I can watch Oprah now and the other after the kids are asleep. I never thought I'd be one of those people, either, but you know what? It could happen.

Oh, and for those of you who were wondering, I curl my hair with a straightener, because I have no idea how to do it with a normal curling iron. I am smart. Clearly.

  1. haha I am so bloody high maintenance, it's insane. I don't know how my boyfriend puts up with me.
    also, I am impressed. I can't curl my hair with my straighteners to save my life. You'll have to teach me!!

  16. Your hair looks super. And social opprobrium aside, there's nothing wrong with being high-maintenance. Most interesting women are.

  19. I love how you earings look next to your hair!
    And I'm completely useless and highstrung without the proper amount of sleep, too. Please don't resign yourself to that scary existence you described just yet!

  20. Please oh Please for the love of God, wear that sweater. It's gorgeous.

    But seriously? I hear ya. I'm the same exact way. When I'm sleep deprived, like now, cuz twins, words are hard and I get super cranky with my lovely husband. When I hear "whoa", I know I'm in a downward spiral of shit.

    LOVE those shoes so very much. And that bag is yummy. Your hair is magnificent. I use a flat iron to curl as well sometimes. It gives a tighter curl for some odd reason.

    xoxoxo,

  26. May I borrow those shoes pretty please? I'm a bit of a high maintenance gal myself sometimes- I asked my bf if he loved me because I am so down to earth and he just laughed- hmph! Curling your hair with a straightener- what a great idea! (I have no clue how to use a curler either!)

    ReplyDelete

  32. I'm with Nnenna... super gorgeous pretty, even sleep deprived. Too little sleep makes me first weird, then depressed. How to get curls from a hair straightener I still need to figure out.
