Hey...I Know You From Somewhere...Oh Sh*t... We're Facebook Friends!

Not at all how I feel... but still hella funny...
I am trying to go to sleep early tonight so I'm gonna keep it short and sweet...

This past week my boo was recognized by an old family friend of mine - she had never met him in person but she still approached him and said hi because she recognized him from my Facebook... (Please note that I wasn't there when she said hi)

Now... I am the kind of person that will walk in the other direction if I recognize someone I know... not because I'm stuck up but because I am and can be awkward as fuck... and I like to avoid the whole small talk scenario...  BUT I will comment and/or like something on your FB because it's from the safety of my computer and/or smart phone...

Also, if you say hi, I am happy to oblige to social norms and exchange small talk...

And I have written about this in the past: I don't have many friends that I hang out with but I do have more than enough friends on Facebook... But how many people can honestly say they really "know" all their Facebook friends...??? 

And I get it, the intention behind Facebook is not necessarily "real" connection but what happens when some folks do see it that way and genuinely take the time to check in on you and say hi in person?

I talked to some of my friends and family about "FB friends" and it so happened that they have had similar situations where, they'll recognize someone but not know from where- And then come to find out they recognize that someone from one of their social media accounts...

The question remains: Do you say hi to "Facebook" friends, do you say hi to FB friends of friends or do we just say hi later on FB? Or not at all... hmm...I dunno... Curious to hear y'all's input...

That is all,

'Til Next Tuesday,

Toodles

FML... I Totally Forgot it was Monnday Today...

I hope everyone had a restful Memorial Day weekend. Mine was jam packed with major accomplishments and lots of love! So much so, that I forgot today was Monday and that I needed to write my blog... And for consistency sake, I am writing to let y'all know to come back June 1st for a Wedding Update...   And that I am thinking about adding some kinda fat girl's guide to feeling and looking good, at least once a month... Every 1st,2nd or 3rd post... I want to try out this challenge I found on Instagram from the Aussie Perth Curvettes! Check 'em out I love theirr Instagram and their blogs! I'm not becoming a fashion/style blog by any stretch of the imagination... BUT I do enjoy looking good and feeling good about myself. And I haven't lately and that is a major part of my anxiety these days. I have been beating myself up and I want to make sure that at least once a month I highlight my many positive attributes! I am also in the middle of planning another trip...

Fatshion 101: Return of National Polka Dot Day

Happy New Year's Y'all! I am happy to be back! I am happy that it's the beginning of the year when the days feel refreshed and reinvigorated. I am not so much of the "new year, new me" attitude BUT a new year does represent a much more glacier pace of life for me. I kinda fell off the face of the Earth or at least my blog since September 2018... October, our birthday month was superbusy, November at work is an insane time and December is for the holidays sooooooo by the end of the year - I am just waiting with bated breath for new years! Aaaaaaaand January is also home to one of my favoritest days of the year! National Polka Dot Day! In honor of the the Polka Dot Queen herself, Minnie Mouse! If it has dots! I want it! I got it! ;-) And dude!!! I celebrated in what I can only describe as pants sent from heaven! They are from Zara and I bought them ON SALE, maybe six months ago and they come in XXL! I fell in love with them the minute I put them on SO ...

EDC 2016: Modesty, nudity and feminism

Sleeping Beauty and Maleficent Give it to me to go to Vegas and come back more of an empowered feminist than ever! Damn right! First of all... (clap, clap) Let's get something straight! (clap-clap)) My anxiety/insecurity prior to this Vegas Wedding slash EDC thing had NOTHING to do with my body!!! (CLAP) I struggle with finding nudity an empowering source! And not because I'm fat but because I've always been a believer in less is more - in where, the less skin I show, the more enticing and the more empowered I feel. Yeah! Ladies and gents! It's possible! And an argument can be made of the same saying; Less is more - The less clothing you wear the more enticing and empowered you can feel! And I say "I struggle" with 'empowering nudity' because we are bombarded with nudity everywhere we look - We are meant to be made to believe that we should all be comfortable with nudity - well I hate to break it to y'all but - nah! I've written ...
