My Pink Mission

Omg they are so adorable! And skulls too - the perfect combo of cute and killer! Mommy wants.

I've been on a matchy-matchy mission. Since I don't usually take much time to myself and I've been forced t0 do so by my graduation and current self-enforced unemployment... I have had time to think about what I really "like" and "want" out of life. This was per Jamey's request, of course. Whoa, how scary is it to realize that you don't REALLY know what you like? I had that realization earlier this summer. I'm so good at doing what I'm "supposed" to do and forcing myself to do unpleasant tasks, that I haven't taken much time in my not-so-long life to focus on myself or what I enjoy or even very basically... what I like.

Well I like pink. Not just any pink either... that almost hot-pink raspberry colored pink. Omg, it's soooo cute. Currently I have a water bottle in that color, several workout tops (some that I will only be able to fit into when I get down to competition weight again - incentive?), my phone shell, my phone case, my I-want-to-gouge-my-eyes-out-they-are-so-cute Paul Frank skull candy ear buds. I used to have temporary pink streaks in my hair for a little while there too. What is REALLY missing from my life is a pair of tennis shoes in this very shade of oh-so-happy girlified pink. Yes, I must find some - this is my goal.

I dunno where this pink thing came from - maybe it was spending the majority of my adolescence in my bubble gum pink room, or all the pink clothing that I begrudgingly wore per my mom's request. When it comes down to it, I've always shied away from girliness and girly things and colors. But, as Kim and Jamey quickly discovered at the Arnold earlier this year... I have a slew of "cute things," like my japanese froggie toothbrush holder. I'm also obsessed with the Pylones store in NYC. I can't help it - these things are soooo adorable.

But make no mistake. Although I am pinking up, I can still deadlift more than my body weight. RAWR.
