Three Things Thursday

You didn’t ask for them — but here they are:  just some of the things I like to complain about.

1. I’ve ordered a few pairs of shoes from ShoeDazzle over the past year and I currently have a credit that’s burning a hole in pocket. However, sometime in the past 6 months ShoeDazzle decided I was lady of the night. Despite requesting flats, low heels, and “work shoes” (maybe I should have been more specific?) these are options I get:

Yes. They have REALLY nailed what I am looking to buy. 5-inch Hooker Shoes are exactly the things I wear at my desk job and when I run around after my kids. Thanks ShoeDazzle.

2. That commericial with Zooey Deschanel and Siri??? Bugs the SHIT out of me.

“Is that rain???” Seriously Zooey? You couldn’t look outside the effing WINDOW and see that it was raining?? And WHO orders tomato soup to go?? Order a pizza!! And seriously? Siri can understand you?? I ask her questions and she’s all “I don’t understand what you are asking, Michelle.” So unfair. {The Samuel L. Jackson commercial is only slightly less annoying.}

3. I have a peanut thing that makes my face blow up like I am a teenage boy going through puberty.

And last week, at the most fantastic dinner I’ve eaten possibly ever, I ate this salad that had a peanut sauce drizzled on it.

It was good at the time, but you can imagine how unawesome it feels right now. There’s only so much makeup I can wear. Hmmm…Maybe that’s where ShoeDazzle got their intel…

Three random questions…

Worst shoe purchase you’ve ever made? Favorite commercial? Things you think of when you’ve working out? You know, besides, “I’m going to die.”

  1. So I would wear all those shoes to work. haha. Except the ones with the blue heel cuz those are fug. Are you saying I’m a whore?

    • Yes, you are a whore :) Seriously those shoes seem pretty tame until you open them. They are a whole difference beast in person. I’ve ordered a few pairs and had to send them back because they are horrifying. And I’m not afraid to wear heels. Even if they make my feet ache.

  2. Yeah, I’m a shoe whore, so those are right up my alley. :) I, too, found it rather odd that she wanted tomato soup to go. Wha???? And how does benadryl work for those peanut reactions? There’s got to be something that can help!!!

    • She doesn’t strike me as a girl who lives on Tomato Soup – does she??

      Benadryl just makes me sleepy :( The peanut thing is weird — I eat it and it doesn’t bother me – but then a day or two later – BOOM. I’ve experimented and thought maybe it’s all in my head, but it’s definitely related to peanut butter. Sadz. At least I can eat Sunbutter!

  3. I feel the same way about that commercial! And about Zooey Deschanel in general. I do not find her adorably endearing, like everyone else on earth seems to. Glad I’m not the only one who thinks that commercial is stupid!

    • You are definitely NOT alone in your feelings on her. I like her in Elf — where her “adorableness” is minimal — and that’s about it.

  4. Yeah, I have a hard believing that Siri is that intuitive. And I completely support your whore heels. You have to have at least one pair.

  5. OK, I FINALLY got around to reading this and now I get the “lady of the night” reference. Sorry, long day yesterday. But I wish I would have read this before I saw you last night because I would have talked your ear off about all the ways I HATE that commercial. She just thinks she’s so damn “adorkable,” which is a word that needs to be banished forever. From her cutesy banjo on the wall to her stupid tomato soup. I said the same thing about the rain the first time I saw it. I put it up there on the same ridiculous level as people who can’t go to the grocery store without a GPS (and of course, I always think of Michael driving into the lake on “The Office.”)

    The Siri advertising people are idiots. This commercial drives me even more crazy than the first one where the guy had Siri read the 4 word text to him as he was strolling through the park. Lazy bastard.

    I’ll stop with the Zooey bashing now, but I truly despise that commercial. The Samuel L. Jackson one doesn’t bother me as much. Mostly because he’s so damn cool.

    I liked your red shoes last night. Very sexy without being whorish! A goal we can all aspire to!

  6. Sorry I actually signed in to your Shoe Dazzle account searching for shoes for myself.

  7. I have an EXTREMELYpassionate hatred for Siri. She is seriously the WORST. I finally turned her off to save battery life. I love Zooey but totally agree about that Commercial.

  8. And literally ONE second after I clicked submit that commercial came on….!!

  9. I don’t like Zooey either mostly because of her character in 500 days and also because I am a Death Cab fan and I have it in my head that she broke Ben’s heart. Ben is also a runner as we know so I have to support him there as well. I think that she thinks she is cool too, but I just don’t get her. The commercial is annoying. I thought, “who delivers tomato soup!”.

    I don’t know if there is ever a bad shoe purchase. Maybe not a very practical purchase.
