booing at the game
So as I was watched the NFL Season Opener on NBC last night, Pittsburgh vs. Miami in Pittsburgh, they announced that in honor of all the troops serving overseas Martina McBride was going to sing the National Anthem. What happened next? The stadium was overwhelmed with booing. I was in total shock!! Ok not to get into my politics or anything, but honestly that was AWFUL. How on earth can you boo the men and women who are fighting in wars! You might not agree that there should be a war, but there is NO EXCUSE to boo the people serving in it. NO EXCUSE. You don't know their circumstances! Many of them may not have had any choice in the matter! The army puts kids through college so they can get higher-learning, they didn't expect to have to fight in a war that is being called the next Vietnam War. It was so disrespectful and those thousands of people who booed that night should be ashamed of themselves. As a civilian not serving in any military capacity, i know i was embarressed.
sweating it out
so i have to say i miss those days in college when you woke up and didn't feel like wearing real clothes and could just throw on an oversized Insert College Name HERE sweatshirt and head over to class - rainy days, shmainy days. unfortunately in the working world, wearing a hoodie to work is not really accepted - much to my dismay. that is why i am excited that this whole '80s style of oversized shirts and spandex is coming back because i was able to find a nice oversized yet fitted sweatshirt at old navy that i believe I can pull off as work appropriate. I guess it does help when you can wear jeans and sneaks to the office too, but for some reason it is easier for the boys to pull that off than us girls. they expect us to look cute every day, but how can you look cute when you are running around outside or across the city in heels and your feet are in so much pain? therefore my new goal is finding fashion forward/cute outfits that are also practical for a job that keeps you on the go. i think a regular old sweatshirt would not be accepted, but a unique, slightly form fitting sweatshirt can definately do the job, and i can wear my comfortable shoes too!
