You know that part in my tagline under my blog’s title where it says, “a little bit funny”? Well, tonight I feel like being funny. A while back, one of my most favorite blogs, Moms Without Answers, had a post called “Stuff N Things” talking about pesky, trivial things that plague your mind just before falling asleep. Channing was totally on to something. So thanks to Moms Without Answers and their constant inspiration, it had me thinking about my own stuff and things. You know, like hard hitting questions that fill my brain for no reason. Without getting too political or philosophical, let me tell you what keeps me up at night (besides my iPad and asinine reading material). It’s always the little things. And just to clarify, we’re not talking about real problems here, people, because Lord knows we have enough of that going on in the world; right now I want to talk about those silly questions that make you go hmm.

| Hopefully this picture won’t keep you up at night. Ha! |
1. What’s the deal with Birkenstocks being back “in”? I think I want the black patent or gold metallic ones.
2. Why are cropped tops a thing again? Thank God I’m not JLo for once so that I do not have to wear those things. I think that trend is way too young for this mama.
3. Which brings me to: Why did Anna Wintour (because we all know that she decides what is in and what is out in her land of Vogue) decide that 90s grunge fashion needed to make a comeback? It is making me feel way old. I distinctly remember seeing images of sunflowers, Dr. Martens, and ripped blue jean shorts in my Seventeen magazine when I was a 90s teen and thinking grunge-wear was so amazing. But I like to leave the past in the past. Next thing you know, Revlon’s Rum Raisin lipstick will be back in…wait…Good, Lorde.
4. What is the deal with my gray hair? They are like weeds that never go away. I would have to dye my hair every day to cover them at all times. Sigh. Highlights? Maybe they’ll be in my future again. But will it really help?
5. Why can’t I have Alessandra Ambrosio’s long legs? Or long torso? I wish I were a little bit taller. Oh, how I miss that Skee-Lo song.
6. What did Solange really say to Jay Z in that elevator? These are the things I need to know.
7. Why did John Mayer and Katy Perry break up? I liked them together. Maybe I’ll have another dream about him tonight. I love him.
8. Why are the Real Housewives of (fill in the blank) still relevant? And better question, why do I follow some of them on Twitter and Instagram?
9. I’m kind of over the Kardashians (except maybe for Khole) and KUWTK; are we ready to move on? Yet I still have not stopped my DVR from recording their show. I think their “new” season starts sometime this month. What an anomaly.
10. And (because of #9) does Beyonce really like Kim?
11. Did I put the clothes in the dryer? Dang it. I’ll have to do re-wash them. Again.
12. What are we having for dinner tomorrow night? Did I defrost the meat?
13. It’s already 1:30 a.m.?! I need to go to bed.
These are the things I need to know. If any of you have the answers to any of the questions above, please let me know. I’d be forever grateful.
Oh my gosh you're so funny! I think I need to follow you now! I often ask myself why do I follow the Real Housewives on Instagram? But yet I can't stop. Don't stop. Won't stop. Found you on the linkup.

You are too sweet! Thank you! I'm so glad someone besides my family gets my humor. :)
But seriously, I follow Kyle, Tamara, Caroline Manzo, and Alexis…and probably more than that. Lol.
And please do follow! I just followed your blog as well. Your little boy is precious!
hahaha loved this! I love hate the Kardashians, but I think Kourtney should have another baby.
My husband will be so pleased that birkenstocks are back in but I am not a fan, ha. I actually really like the cropped top with high waisted skirt look, not something I'd ever pull of but I like it when I see it on the young. I too was bummed to hear that John Mayer and Katy Perry broke up, shoot. I thought they'd be good together.
Isn't Kourtney having another one or was that not a real story today? I can't keep up. See what I did there? Lol. And I'm so glad someone else understands these things! :) Thanks for reading, girlfriend, and thanks for the follows!
I just laughed out loud at this post….I need to know these answers too, haha!
Thank goodness I'm not the only one! Ha! :)
P.S. I absolutely love your blog and being a follower. One of my favorites!
