welcome!

Monday, March 31st, 2008

Welcome to the new home of The Introvert. I am still getting everything transfered over, so if my blog roll isn’t updated yet, don’t worry; I’ll get to it soon.
I can’t believe I have my own domain. I’m so legit now.

retribution

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

Lately, I have noticed that I have been getting upset over little things and stewing over them for days. This isn’t a typical “me” behavior. I am a pushover fairly laid back and can tolerate an enormous amount of BS. I won’t say I don’t get annoyed easily, but give me five minutes or distract [...]

never boring

Monday, March 24th, 2008

Y’all would be so proud of me….in an attempt to actually make my life easier, I’ve scaled back my commitments. I refrained from joining ABWA, I’m almost done with my provisional year in Junior League, I stopped volunteering at the hospital, and…drum roll…I’m down to ONE job now! (bows)

Now here’s why: in less than two [...]

rant

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

When I was a child, kids always played around the neighborhood without being under the watchful eye of a parent. We had been taught about Stranger Danger and Just Say No. We knew not to help some random guy find his lost puppy or let him touch us in our “bathing suit area”.
Now it [...]

new chapter

Monday, March 17th, 2008

Well, I guess it’s official: I’m entering a new chapter in my life. I am moving to a new town. I know, right?
Those who know me well know that I’ve lived in this town my whole life and that my family has been here since the dawn of time. But those same people also know [...]

After yesterday’s post, The Bloggess mentioned the following Tab ad from the 60s, so I had to check it out. Revel in its awesomeness.

Wow…so all I ever had to do to keep hubby’s attention is drink Tab? Dang. To think of all those hours I wasted at the gym. Let that be a lesson to [...]

the good ol’ days

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

Sometimes I forget how far women have come in such a short period of time. Then I run across vintage advertisements like these. We have it good, ladies.

My husband would love this one. (P.S. Is that Goldie Hawn?)
Well it’s nice to know we’re good for something.Vintage domestic violence is charming!Wow! You mean I [...]

temptation

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

Neiman Marcus is the devil. I once innocently went to their web site to enter a sweepstakes, and now I get daily messages in my inbox trying to lead me to temptation with words like “Roberto Cavalli” and “25% off”. Normally I laugh in defiance and hit delete before I even open the message. Nice [...]

famous

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

Yes! I am on two - count ‘em - TWO blog rolls now. Thank you to Tootsie Farklepants at Vintage Thirty. I am starting to feel a twinge of validation. And I will continue to maintain my delusion that these genuine bloggers with readers who comment don’t simply take pity on me. Admit it…you wish [...]

texas weather

Monday, March 10th, 2008

So it’s snowing on Friday, sunny and warm on Saturday and Sunday, and raining cats and dogs on Monday. You throw Daylight Savings Time in there, and apparently it causes my body to implode. I woke up with a head full of snot this morning. So in order to make it to work, I took [...]
