Seriously. That looks and sounds disgusting. </div>
<br />
Bitches Be Lying.<br />
<br />
Ew that was so vulgar and unnecessary of me. But they are.<br />
<br />
If I see one more Pin. Or Instagram. Or Tweet. (ok not tweet because I don't know how to tweeter-but I'm thinking about learning-) {but then really, how CONNECTED do we truly need to be...? All this connectedness is great but then you run out of time to do the real stuff, right? Because some bitches be lying about THAT and filling up your feed with the fake stuff...ok totally 'nother topic I'll have to touch on later}<br />
<br />
If I see one more Pin. Or Instagram. Or Tweet. About this awesome fabulous delicious you just gotta try this wheat grass weight loss detox smoothie recipe--which just so happens to be just AHHMAAAAZING for desert and tastes just like marbled cheesecake without all the calories!-- I'm going to vom. Figuratively. Mostly because I do not actually use the word "vom" in every day jargon, just here, now, today for emphasis and dramatics.<br />
<br />
Now I'm not talking about eat clean eat right exercise and take care of yourself because yes, I do in fact, ride that bus and no, I do not in fact feel sorrow over self induced pre-diabetuss and high blood. {Hey whatevs, loose a leg, have a stroke, drive up health care costs due to long term care needs based on bad decision making we as a nation don't expect repercussions or consequences for our decisions... Off topic again. I think I may touch on that in the future as well.}<br />
<br />
But come on. Really. You do not love love love lahhhhve your most delicious sprouts and beets and mushroom sammie slathered in edamame kefir. So please stop lying. To the rest of us. Making us feel like we should eat a handful of bulgur wheat as a great "treat!" of an afternoon snack. <br />
<br />
Honestly-I just saw a recipe for squash and zucchini with the title, "Better Than Fries!!" Um. No they aren't. That's not even physically possible. Nothing is better than fries. Nothing. Consider re-titling, Liar. You don't have to use this one, but I think it's pretty good: <br />
<br />
"Better For You Than Fries. And Because You Are Grown and In Charge of Your Own Self and Your Own Choices, Here is a Healthy One. And it Actually Doesn't Taste Bad. Probably, You Will Like It. Definitely, You Won't Regret It."<br />

In December Whitten went to work in efforts to wrap up the <a href="http://merrimonwynne.com/" target="_blank">Merrimon Wynne</a> construction and landscape plan. {Because his daddy designed the landscape plan.} Thank the Lordt Jodi did not request his worker's permit.

<br />
There you have it. Get excited. Get crazy. Some things around here may be changing but that is not a bad thing. And I figured I'd keep on trucking with my writing and story telling and make changes as I see fit when I see fit because I am the boss here. Please do not confuse that with a reference to the irritating Ban Bossy Other B Word mess. Shug I've been over those "articles" since before they came out.<br />
<br />
So where was I, you ask?<br />

Ok hurr we go, I said I wanted to participate in the ORC-One Room Challenge-but I've already missed like three deadlines. Feels pretty...standard for me. Ok so to catch you up: I'm not going into the details, I wasn't invited to partake because I'm not a big wig lady-blogger decorista-but Linda at <a href="http://www.callingithome.com/2013/09/one-room-challenge-linking-event.html" target="_blank">Calling It Home</a> has allowed for others to LINK UP! And participate at will. So hey why not? I have to get this nursery done, I figured I'll put myself out there, try something new, etc etc.</div>

Ahhh this is truly an exercise in public humiliation. Guest room. Doesn't always have laundry and misplaced furniture strowed ever-which-way...but it does now. And that has to change.

Great read (to listen to, in my instance): encouraging and educational and touches on a topic I hold near and dear to my heart...that I have to say, I did not hold near and dear to my heart until after I had a baby.

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was after being told by one of my bosses, the day before returning from maternity leave (yes I was called at home on a Sunday) that the company no longer approved the new FULL TIME schedule agreed upon (which I requested and had documented approval of by my 5th month of pregnancy). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Alternately, I was also told (at 2 weeks post partum) by my casual employer (because up until that time I had CHOSEN to work 2 jobs that I enjoyed) that despite the fact my family medical leave of absence was approved for 12 weeks of leave, I would now be required to return to work 4 weeks postpartum. I was told that should I not be able to fulfill this commitment, my management would be more than happy to offer a positive reference to another department (with the clause that the department may not be hiring at that time). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you have or have not had a baby (or if you are a nurse) you know that no OB/GYN is going to approve of a woman going back to work at 4 weeks post partum to take care of total care patients for 12 to 13 hours at a time. When I argued this point, my manager at the time did verbalize to me that she understood and agreed. Honey, you're not dense-you get the picture-essentially I was pushed out of the latter position. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To say I was jaded and angry is an understatement. Excellent employee and peer reviews at both of my places of employment no longer mattered. My new role was more or less an inconvenience, really. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Long story short, I put on my big girl panties and went back to work, with little argument regarding the original approved work schedule agreement, as I never intended to stay home, I'd never identified myself as the "stay at home mom" type. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Returning to work. Was. Horrible.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To say I felt unwelcome is an understatement. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got wind of comments (from upper female management) like,<em> "Well too bad, if I had to do it, she has to do it."</em> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And (more female management), <em>"Plenty of other women work and have children, she can figure it out."</em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And (once again, female management), <em>"I'm sorry, I'm sure you understand, but I have to look out for what's best for the unit."</em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Or (from a man), <em>"Well, then you chose this profession, if you didn't want it to be like this, you should've thought about that before you decided to become a nurse."</em> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How about, <em>"How do you even know your role? When I was your age, we knew our jobs, I did mine, my husband did his, now, I just don't know why you girls do this..."**</em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I feel our culture encourages this attitude, and discourages a woman from repeating these comments to others, or confronting them because she will be seen as whiny and lazy. These comments were made in the work place. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Keep in mind I work in a very politically correct, all inclusive environment. People (multiple, without hesitance, on separate occasions) felt comfortable and justified in making these comments in a professional setting. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Also keep in mind I never asked (nor ever had a history of asking) for permission not to work or to be paid for work I was not willing to do. I asked to be treated as though I had just had a child. Which is not synonymous with asking for handouts, pity, special allowances or the like. That is how I was being treated. Josh never encountered any issues in returning to work-by the way.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
**I hate to say, (no I don't) this last comment started to sound like the most glorious music of the hills are alive. Anything to justify me getting out of this over-worked, over-tired, over-achieving, nonstop LIFE was something I wanted to, needed to hear. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have since made changes for my mental health and well being-not to mention quality of LIFE-that I question every week, but that's another topic. </div>

This is not a quest for working mothers only, and these ladies are not man-eater feminists. I am just sharing my personal experience as a woman in the workplace, and these women simply speak out the honest truth: We have been lied to. Women cannot have it all do it all be all and everything to everyone and do it well. I'm sorry. I'm not in the least bit sorry. Just being real.</div>

I have this guilt that we don't "do" and "go" enough. Then I go through my pictures and feel like we "go" and "do" plenty. Do you do this? I mean feel guilty, like you're missing out, you're not doing enough, you're not experiencing enough, you're not trying enough? You're not living life to the absolute fullest full potential and surely there's something you're missing out on something...? Too honest of me? Too transparent?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well how about this for transparency: We went to Josh's parents' house for the weekend. Which is wonderful. Riding in the car with an 18 month old for 2 1/2 hours on a Friday afternoon and then again on a Sunday afternoon, is no wonderful. People without small children. Do not understand these things. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I told you that story to tell you this one: We ran out of traveling toddler snacks {People without small children do not understand these things.} To keep the baby from screaming. Because he was hot and strapped down in a claustrophobic seat and bored out of his mind and hungry. Josh found the last thing left in the car. That an individual with only 6 teeth can only eat with assistance.</div>

So here you have it. I read somewhere to accent chairs with scarves if you don't need {or want to pay for} any more throws in your living area. This is a brilliant idea. Maybe or maybe not we will implement this permanently in our house.</div>

As you can tell. We still need that coffee table. Or ottoman. Or Both. Just kidding not both. But it has to be el cheapo. And I had the stupidest of ideas that maybe I'd DIY one...thanks pinterest for encouraging me to practice out of my scope...but no thanks. After thought and deliberation and remembering that my DIY interests and abilities fall short of spray paint...I decided to stalk craigslist, amazon, the maxximmista, and other el cheapo-cheaperton avenues of which I hate to admit to purchasing furniture from. I just ended that sentence in a preposition, I think. </div>

Very recently I was wasting time on Instagram and noted a fabby fab post by <a href="http://www.furbishstudio.com/">Furbish Studio</a> of a great Homegoods/TJMaxx/Marshalls {whatever they're all the same thing} accent chair find.

And yes this last image is in my home, so obviously it is a purchase that I don't regret. {Thank you Clearance Isle $23 Tortoise Hurricane Vase by Ralph Lauren Home.} So you can take your snobby snobbery decor attitude and kiss my grits or my great fat toe, or whichever you prefer. Because that "I think I'm the next Kelly Wearstler" tone just isn't working for me.</div>

<a href="http://ahighcottonstyle.blogspot.com/2012/09/suprise.html">Remember when</a> about this time last year we went to Charlotte to celebrate some great peeps' engagement? Well well well this past weekend we had no choice but to head to Belmont for an official engagement party! My only regret is that I didn't get more pictures, it was beautiful and wouldn't you know it, we had fried chicken and barbeque catered by <a href="http://www.deandeluca.com/aboutus/NorthCarolina.aspx">Dean and Deluca</a> and everyone raved on the organic kale salad. Welcome to the New South. {Do not get it twisted: the ham biscuit apps, chicken, que, baked beans and potato salad were on point.} Thank you hostesses for hosting us!</div>

There you have it. Kind of self explanatory.</div>

I don't think you need a recipe for reference for obvious reasons. However I will say it calls for a buttermilk ranch dressing that I strongly encourage you to decline and opt for a <a href="http://chobani.com/kitchen/recipes/herbed-salad-dressing-2/">greek yogurt dressing made at home by yourself or yours truly instead</a>-it's so delish and much more nutrish and I'm really big on minimizing the processed foods in the general public. So there's my philanthropic post for the day.</div>

So I'm overly proud of that ridiculous chalkboard thing that I made because it's so DIY of me. Thank you to my little friends who taught me how to do it aka literally had to explain step by step the paint to buy, how to disassemble the old frame {that I found in a pile of junk-us in the attic} to spray the glass AFTER REMOVING IT from the actual frame. And then to top it off I doodled all cute-say in chalk on it as well which is so <em>on trend</em>...chalkboard doodling, so hot right now. Ok for real though I'm going too use the hell out of that thing.</div>

Then to make me feel a little more like a reasonable, un-craft lady, I met a sweet treat of a friend at Ashley Christensen's new coffee shop <a href="http://www.wral.com/Raleigh/Coffee/JouleCoffee/9243619/">Joule </a>by the babe's new preschool. And she is right, we are so hipster now. {My gf, not Ashley Christensen. I mean AC doesn't know me, so we didn't joke about being 29 year old hipsters together over sinfully chic cheddar gravy biscuits. Obviously. Sheesh.}</div>
