True Confessions: I wear Uggs in public.

Love 'em or hate 'em, Uggs are STILL everywhere. They're possibly the most debated pair of footwear out there, with Crocs coming in at a close second. I don't own Crocs, but I do own a pair of Chocolate Uggs. Actually, I'm wearing them right now!

I wear them with tights. Or leggings. And a dress. Leggings are not pants, and they never will be! (Totally a favorite saying of mine, by the way.)

I love wearing them with jeans, and sometimes it can even look classy. Yep, I just called my Uggs classy. Don't worry, I don't wear them with denim skirts. I have in the past, but I'm trying to forget about those days.

This is really hard for me to share with y'all, but I also wear them with black. You heard it, I mix brown and black. I read in a magazine a few months ago that it's okay to do that now, so please don't burst my bubble.

One thing though, I don't know about you other Ugg owners, but mine are freaking smelly! I'm not saying my feet smell like roses, but even my gym shoes aren't this rank. Is this a common Ugg thing? Punishment for rebelling against fashion common sense? Well, I guess I won't be wearing these boots on a date. You know, just in case. Mood kill!

Okay. Fess up. Who else owns Uggs? This is a safe space, and I won't hate. Or, are you a recently converted anti-Ugg gal? Have you shunned your pair in favor of a more fashionable boot? I know nothing about the boot world. Please share!

True Confessions: Bite me.

I'm a huge True Blood fan. I love Bon Temps, I love puppy dog Sam, I love the everchanging Cajun and Southern accents, I love Anna Paquin. Hell, I even love it when Bill says "SOOKEH IS MINE" in his cheesy old-fashioned gentleman accent.

If you've never seen the show (or read the books, I suppose), here's a pretty accurate recap:

HBO, I want to thank you for providing us with gems like True Blood and Entourage. Keepin' it classy, like always.

But seriously. True love for True Blood. Season 2 may have turned into a hot mess, and some people stuck around for way too long (Maryann, I am looking at YOU), but I'm still so excited for season 3! If you haven't seen the show I recommend starting with season 1, since you really do need to be up on your back-stories for things to make sense. Don't stress though, you've got until June of 2010 to catch up!

And for the record: I'm NOT a Twilight fan. At all. 0%. Don't even get me started on the craziness of 'Twihards' and Stephenie Meyer. And if you are a fan, please take your sass pants off before commenting.

Anyway, how are we all feeling today? I don't even want to think about how much I ate yesterday. Pretty sure I managed to eat half of a pumpkin pie. Totally worth it!
Today's a long run (as in 2 miles), and I'll do a recap of that and a few other running related things tomorrow. Happy Friday! What are you doing this weekend?

True Confessions: I was a Facebook Addict.

Yes, it's true. Somehow I found myself sucked in to the world of wall posts, bumper stickers, and status updates. Luckily, I managed to escape before I fell down the Farmville hole. I've heard there's no hope for recovery once you've hit that point.

As much as I've loved having a Facebook for the past 4 years, I've decided the time has come for a break. Did you know you can deactivate your account? That way everything will still be there next time you log in (friends, pictures, wall posts, etc), but until then you kind of just…disappear.

Staying in touch with everyone from school last year is something I probably wouldn't be able to do with Facebook, but at the same time I figured out that I was in a way stuck in the past. Seeing pictures of the weekends I missed and getting invites to formals and parties I wouldn't be able to attend is not beneficial when you're already missing something!

It all started with a one week FB detox, and when that ended yesterday morning I was totally back in the saddle! (Or off the wagon?) Either way, I spent a few minutes online before I redeactivated (awesome new word, thankyouverymuch) my account again. Such a tease, I know.

Don't worry, I'm sure I'll be back. Just not yet. I think I need some more time. I'm working on other things right now, like fitting in to a new school and an entirely new world in a way.  And until then, I can always waste my free time on twitter!

Take Two.

I'm baaaaack! It's been so long. True confession time: I get performance anxiety when it comes time to writing blog posts. Weird, right? I overanalyze things and obsess and it just does not go well. That's probably not so weird, but it's definitely a pain in the ass. So from now on I'm going to quit worrying about it and let my freak flag fly (thank you Crosby, Stills and Nash). Which means? Uh well, I'm not sure yet. We're just gonna keep it real.

So what have I been up to?
