Little Lessons on a Tuesday
by Kate Franco on December 13, 2011 · 9 comments
- Annual holiday party with the girls resulted in the most impromptu, legitimate, uplifting rendition of Wilson Phillips “hold on”. It was pure happiness. Girl power!
- 6 week shopping hiatus started last Wednesday. I usually do a 4 week challenge, so adding 50% to that should be interesting. Be prepared for a lot more lust lists as I ease my shopping woes!
- Avoid social comparison.
- Currently averaging 1 workout/week. Better than 0…
- Currently discovering a lot of new-to-me blogs through twitter. I’m loving it!
- I have *always* been terrible with change. Up this week: best friend moving, and a new roommate.
- I am overwhelmed with the show of sincerity, love and support from this weekend’s holiday party.
- Settling in to my new ‘d0 and loving it. The color makes my skin look warmer. Not washed out at all, the way I was feeling before.
- People who treat marriage as a secret society or a club make me crazy. {eye roll.}
- I don’t know why I lose respect for bloggers when they move out of careers into full-time blogging because you think it would be the opposite. I do find small business fascinating though, and sometimes it sounds splendid! I bet my blog would be 4 times as nice if I could spend 40 hours a week on it instead of 10. This is in direct conflict with #3. Oh, the irony.

Add to #9: having a kid. I feel this even more strongly after having a kid, as though I am supposed to feel like a completely different person who wants to talk about other people’s brats. Nope: still don’t care about your offspring. It’s as though they are trying to suck me into that “secret club” so I can judge everyone else and have no outside identity.
double ugh.
Yes to #10!!
Aww miss all you beautiful girls!!!
Kate, Skype will save you guys! You can still watch horrible lifetime movies together, just via skype 😉 XOXO
Love me some hot girls!!! Is that a matte sequin Audrey 3+1 dress I see someone sporting???! Loves.
Happy Holidays, my dear!!

I agree with #4 whole-heartedly! I’ve only worked out once this week too….

#1 and #7 – YES! Good girlfriends you trust in enough to be vulnerable around are so important. With all those women out there who try to one-up their girlfriends, it’s nice to be able to side-step that noise and find yourself in the company of ladies who are genuinely happy for your successes.
I feel the same way about full-time bloggers. I LOVE blogging, & it’d be amazing to make a life out of it, but… somehow it seems sort of insanely vain, too, right?!
PS: You & your friends are gorgeous. <3
