Happy New Year! It's been a while...The holiday season is over and it taught me a lot about myself. Here are some take a-ways from all that this holiday season has brought to the Anthony household.(well mostly just me):
1. I HATE dressing up.
What is it about dressing up that just gets me all sorts of frustrated? I am constantly looking and shopping for these cute jumper thingies and fun dresses and I NEVER wear them.
Here's why:
- Footwear-I am not really into wearing heels anymore so it's hard to find shoes to compliment "dressing up".
- Tights- Is this foreshadowing? I friggin HATE them. They sag, they rip, they suck!
- I'm too short- My height hinders my likeliness to dress up. Dresses are too long, jumpers just don't lay right.
SO ...what do I end up wearing this holiday season? PANTS, Wamp, Wamp! I go to holiday events looking like I'm going to my teaching job. There are times I do dress up in "my way". If you know me, then you know "my way" is a little edgy and sometime inappropriate for a Christmas family dinner at my in laws.
Anyone else with me? The thought of dressing up throws me into the biggest anxiety fit of my life. I can't even have by husband in the same room as me when I try outfits on...one wrong look or comment from him and I'm attacking him like a spider monkey. My mood goes from happy to "look at me wrong" and I might hurt you.
2. Another thing the holiday season has taught me about myself is, that I am a big, fat, liar! All year we, (Paul and I) talk about how we don't need to buy each other anything for Christmas. We are grown ass adults, when we need or want something, we go get it. Well....I lied. I say I don't want anything for Christmas, but I really do. BUT I'm not gonna tell you what it is because frankly, I don't need anything, but you do NEED to get my something. As if women weren't complicated enough! So poor Paul, lost in the midst of holiday shopping at the mall with no ideas but great expectations. Oh the pressure...because once again folks, I don't need anything.
Any other ladies out there that have high expectation but provide little to no help? Are we just setting ourselves up for failure? I think our significant others think so. We can be very impossible sometimes.
That's my mini holiday rant. For now, Happy New Year and I will be back soon!
Till then,
-Deena
