Leggings are NOT pants

That was a quotation from The Blair Waldorf herself (extra bonus for knowing who I am talking about)….which obviously explains that Gossip Girl is not on here in the UK. I mean really, everyone thinks that LEGGINGS are PANTS – but leggings are not pants they are actually just the equivalent of wearing 5 pairs of pantyhose so why do girls insist they are pants. This actually does not happen at work , as everyone at my work dresses very conservatively, but on the streets the leggings are EVERYWHERE.

*Side Note 1 – Of course.... I did purchase some leggings this weekend so I could be “in” but, I will be wearing them with dresses not just little shirts!”

In the office this morning I say this post-it on a heavy-duty stapler “Why do we have this big stapler if we do not stock proper staples for it!!!!?” - This is a perfect example of a couple things.
(1) The English are soooo passive aggressive, I mean they right a mean post-it instead of just complaining
(2) Our office must spend all our money on HUGE flower arrangements every week so we cannot afford such essentials as staples or to even give a stapler to the new girl

*Side Note 2- Yes, I’m still mad that I cannot have actual office supplies (see previous blog)

(3) The word “proper” is used everywhere – do you have a “proper bag?” “ I need a proper chair”, etc. etc…..and the bag question is what the grocery store man asks me because every bag is .05£ (basically 7.5 cents a bag in the US equivalent) so its better to bring your own and not only save the tiny but of money , but better is not to get the TERRIBLE looks people give you when you have not in fact brought a “PROPER” bag – hhmmmph!

Tonight is my first Junior Leauge meeting and its in-house, meaning I get to go to someone else’s house in London and see what it looks like and everything – I’m SO excited. I used to LOVE these in Charlotte because they are always in some fabulous place…and get this….this one is literally down the street from us too! Of course the meeting was “full” but I emailed the host to tell her I was new and asked her if I could “squeeze-in” She emailed back and I said I could in fact “squeeze” in, but I think she might have been mocking me, because I’m pretty sure no one here actually has to “squeeze in” anywhere….

*Side Note 3 – Here is another phrase I must stop using in addition to YUMMY! So, from now on no more “squeezing”

More later
MUUUUUAAAAWWWW (More kisses)!
