giving up

A couple of things have happened recently that make me think that perhaps - just perhaps - I've given up.

1) These plants currently greet any visitor arriving to our house. Because nothing says "Welcome!" like some dead stuff.

What is odd about this dead greenery is that despite our best efforts at making these things die (we've just gotten tired of watering them). We've got this one that is thriving on the same neglect (no water no love):

2) I have taken to wearing some basketball shorts while cleaning/painting. I will NOT be posting a picture of this. It does not need to be documented. But trust me - it's not pretty. A sure sign of giving up.

3) I have my hair in a ponytail. Again. The third (maybe fourth?) day in a row. If someone wants to come over and style it for me - that would be great.

4) Cereal for dinner. Again and again and again.

5) I laid on the couch last night and actually watched "Dancing With the Stars" (the term "stars" DOES NOT mean anyone famous it just means people you may or may not have heard of).

I need to up my game.

I am also in basketball shorts and a ponytail. And I watched some of Dancing with the Stars, until the baby started crying. Sigh...it might get worse before it gets better.

No worries; it's not giving up, it's 'taking a break' (for an undisclosed amount of time). I do all those things more than I 'should' occasionally and I'm learning not to care as much. :) Sometimes you 'feel it', sometimes you don't. Do you think I used enough 'rabbit ears' in my response? I'm not sure.

Kitty, I felt like you gave up a long time ago when you started wearing Danskos in public. Clearly we need to set up some fashion rules like they did in the hit teen film Mean Girls.
1) You can NEVER wear sweatpants in public
2) you can only wear you hair in a ponytail once a week.
3) hoop earrings are my thing so you can't wear them anymore.
These rules made Lindsay Lohan popular and they can do the same for you. Of course she also became a coked up convict so you might want to ease into these changes instead of diving in head first. I dont want to have to raise baby Constantine while you're in the big house getting your hair corn rowwed by your cell mate.

It about time you gave up! I never, ever lasted as long as you when I was pregnant. I would put some money down on you looking better in your sport shorts than I did in my gouchos in every color of the rainbow. And FYI...I "watched"(on FForward) the entire episode last night. I'm going to be real honest here...I freaking love the boy with one ear.
