Red Flag of the Week

Karate

Now, nearly every guy I know will disagree with this flag, claiming its, "sweet" while most girls I know completely get it. I'm telling you honestly, there is an internal red flag that goes up when a guy tells you he is into karate, ultimate fighting, taekwondo...etc. Perhaps it's too foreign and therefore alarming for us. As much as I love Ralph Macchio and would have killed to go on a date to the fun zone with him, I'm not sure I could have agreed to it off screen.

things lost...

So here’s the spheel, I’ve totally dropped the ball on this whole blog thing. For my 3 readers, I’m sorry. I blame a mixture of 3 jobs, the 405 fwy, and a lack of Heather time. Yesterday, we came up with a new list:

Things that are actually amazing in their true form, but have become tackfastic due to certain people groups overuse of them.

dolphins

hibiscus flowers

sea shells

nautical stars

sparrows

butterflies

birds

Lighthouses

sunsets

sail boats

80's (an 80’s business party would be OK)

Fleur de lise

Tuscan decor

Things that are so misused, they have no chance at coming back in our lifetime:

sunflowers

roses

smiley faces

Yin yang

red and black

pink and black (plaid exception)

Paris

pirates

Uncle Sam Wins!
Did you hear we are going to shoot a missile at the moon on Friday? We are so stupid... Apparently we are looking for water.  Even if we find it- who says  we get it?  The last time I checked, we share the moon with the rest of the world.

Why doesn't the gov't look for my next job instead? And are my freaking taxes paying for this, b/c I need that money. Aren't we broke?  Is this a warning of how bad it is?  Like when I realize I don't have money and think, oh efff it,  "Where is my credit card and/or the nearest anthropologie? I'm off to shoot the moon."

Japanese Anime

It's strange, violent, and early 2000's- watch out for this one. I'm sorry there is no picture this week; I couldn't bring myself to have that crap on my blog....you understand.

**Disclaimer: Red flags are not always deal breakers.  They mean to serve as a point in which you should stop and ask yourself, “Does this signify a deeper problem?”  Red flags are also limited to things people choose to do, not things in which they have no control over.

Red Flag of the Week

                         Introducing with a nickname

It has been my experience that you should never spend too much time speaking with someone who has just introduced themselves by their nickname.  It typically signifies a social need you don't have the time or capacity to fill.  Also beware of people who give themselves nicknames... it's backwards and awkward. 

never trust a big butt and a smile

Cindy vs. Budget

Budget Wins!

Dear 80mph,

I miss you…65 just doesn’t feel right.  I feel so out of place in the far right lane- people over here are crazy and their license plates are from far off places.  My car feels tired and sluggish… I hate this, I hate myself.

Cut backs have to be made; I’m setting my cruise control so it’s out of my hands.  Until gas goes below $2.50, I can’t see you anymore… xoxo, cin

Red Flag of the Week

                        Highlights

I know, it's hard to even believe that there are guys out there who would still do this.  Weaving your hair with streaks is way over the top, and trust me, we can tell...don't even bother saying it's natural.  A general rule of thumb is that a girl never wants to feel like the guy is spending the same amount of time keeping up their appearance as she is. (this does not apply to working out, knock yourselves out with this one...we love it)
