1. You look great. I love the boots especially.
2. Your co-workers are annoying. I hate it when people make a big deal out of things like that. I cringe on your behalf.
Girly(?) thing: I walked around the grocery store while breastfeeding! I'm so proud that I was able to do it. I had her in the carrier, so I was able to do it incognito and it was very liberating. I'm feeling proud of myself. Multitasking Mommy FTW.

And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see what you find there,
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.

I think you look great, and I'm thrilled my necklace was part of it! But I totally understand feeling awkward, too. Yesterday I put on a nicer top (remember the one with the bright colours and paisley?), and I kept getting compliments on how I looked. "Thanks, I wanted to pretend to be a human being today instead of a lab rat! Glad it's working!"

Agreed!You look great, Alea! You should wear dresses more often.
You know what makes me mad? I know a whole bunch of people that think breast feeding is gross and should never be done outside of the home. Instead, I think they should be applauding people like you for being willing to go through the effort to do the natural and beneficial thing, and feeling comfortable enough to do it in public while still being modest about it.Girly(?) thing: I walked around the grocery store while breastfeeding!

I just cut my own hair for the first time, other than bangs. I have a chin-length bob but there was the little chunk in the back that had grown longer than the rest and it was really bugging me. It had only been about 5 weeks since my haircut and I didn't feel like paying for another cut so soon. So, I just wet it and starting cutting. I think it turned out okay.

I'd love to hear your take on it.
I've seen the movie he referred to, Gaslight. It was chilling and disturbing because of how close to home it hit. Not at all in regards to my husband but the abusive relationship I went through a few years back. Gaslighting is probably a good way to describe one of the main tools that he used to manipulate my heart, mind and soul. Once he had me under control in those aspects, then I had nothing left to fight for when it came to the physical abuse. I was a shell.
I really thought the article made some great points. I don't think that all men do it, and I'm sure some women are guilty of it as well. But overall, I think that these are abusive trends that women have to deal with and overcome.
Also, I want to add...I have also experienced similar type of behavior from well-meaning family, including my mother. So, I definitely don't think it's exclusively men that do it.

Re: Girly Stuff
I wish I had more body in my hair, specifically at the roots.
Yay, I'm a llama again!

Re: Girly Stuff
For the record (although I think you already know this), that's never been why I call you crazy or weird. I have other (supposedly) more legitimate reasons.

I totally read that as, "I wish I had more body hair."I wish I had more body in my hair

Re: Girly Stuff
I also read it as more body hair. And I was like, what the heck? She can have some of mine! And then I reread it.

Your mother is one of the standby jokes for me and my brother.
