Seriously, How Much Can 3 Inches REALLY Add??

I know that women are supposed to be mysterious, glamorous, and dressed to "impress," but this mystery is even beyond me.

As I walk around Texas A&M campus, and might I add that it is quite a large one, I see these girls who are dressed as if they are ready to go from class to prom. Okay so maybe that is a little of a stretch But nonetheless, they are in their tiny, two sizes too small jeans and their way too tall high heels. Yesterday, I saw a girl walking across the parking lot, and she wasn't saying it verbally, but everything else about her was screaming..."Please don't fall! Please don't fall!" She could barely stand in her heels, much less walk around campus in them.

I just don't get it. Is she hoping to walk into class and find some intellectual man that will just be blown away by her striking outfit...is she scared that by the slow pace of waddling to class she will be late and have to stand in the back row, so she wants to be sure to see over everyone....?? Not a clue. If you are one of these women, take a second and consider how this look REALLY makes you look. It makes you look as if you are trying way too hard!! Sure if you want to put on a cute pair of heels to go out on the town, well that makes sense, but not when you are heading to biology lab or accounting class.

Get real, nobody cares that you are 3 inches taller :)

A Moment to be Proud

Last Thursday night I was in my small 20x24 cube people like to call a dorm room while my entire family was at what would could be considered one of our family's highest moments. They were at the banquet where the award was being given not only to my hard-working mother, but also to my kind and giving grandmother. I wanted nothing more than to be there, and see their faces of shock. Because that I know they both were. Neither of these women in my life ever expect a thing, in fact they would rather give and give then to take any sort of credit for the amazing things they do.

I want to just note the main things about each of these women that I love. My nanny is : kind, generous, Godly, fun, opinionated, giving, and she has this air about here that when you are near her, your heart just simply feels warm.

My mother is : creative, driven, passionate, funny, artistic, loving, fun, and one of the most optimistic, faithful people I have ever met.

I wanted to start my first blog with this one because I am who I am today in large part due to these two women. They are both very different, and I think that a lot of who I am is me trying to be the women they are. I would be nowhere in life without either of them, and I want to start off my day striving to be more and more like each of them in my own way. If I could mix their traits....well..quite honestly, I'd be a hell of a woman. So rather than striving to be what they are, I want to take what they have taught me and become a woman that would make them both as equally proud as they have made me.
