  1. OMFG im dying of laughter
    you internet peoples are so mean to her!!! leave her alone!! she’s just trying to find her place in the world..

    ****

    I had no idea that the blog world was such a cruel place to be. Gosh, I’ve never been on a ‘blog’ except to see my friends kids and check out the latest Park Slope Parents classifieds. I did not intend for this to be a big deal. I had no idea what I was getting in to. I feel like I have to clear some things up, because a lot of mean things are being said about me.

    As some of you have pointed out, I am not a writer. I graduated with a Bachelor’s in Psychology. After that I went to Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM). I didn’t feel that I was fulfilled and proceeded to get my Masters in Social Work (MSW) at The University of Southern California (USC). I was lucky to meet some really wonderful friends while I was there. And yes, I miss them. After working for a non-profit organization for children in threat of being taken from their home for a couple years, I decided to go into fashion again. I worked retail for a few years at two women’s boutiques. I loved both of my careers and miss them terribly.

    I am now a stay-at-home mom, recently transplanted from The West Coast to be closer to family and for my house husband’s job. I love my son more than anything in the world and would gladly be his pillow for the next ten years. I take him to music class, gym class, and play dates. I am not just a shopaholic that sits in her closet all day. I am a mother, a wife, a daughter and a friend. Those classifications are the most important things to me.

    This however, is not that important. I had no idea that people would reach out just to brutalize someone they don’t even know. That people actually spend their time criticizing others publicly. My original post was a stream-of-thought that I wrote for ParkSlopeParents.com. I was the one who was feeling like I didn’t fit in, not the other way around. I am in no place to pass judgment on others. I am a mom who understands what it’s like to not sleep all night and feel like all you want to do is wash the peanut butter out of your hair. I know how it feels to not be able to do anything for yourself. That’s why I started this blog, I thought that it would be something fun that I could do for me. Not to fight, or start a ‘blog war’ (with someone named sassy?).

    Yes, I love clothes, and bags and other frivolous things. Seems like that’s all you blogger critics are focused on. Please, if you don’t like what I have to say move on. I don’t expect everyone to like the things that I talk about. If you don’t, engage me in an open and mature discussion. The thing is, I just moved here, I wasn’t trying to ruffle feathers. I’m just trying to find my place. I hope you are happy in yours.

  2. “rob, whenever I hold the door open and someone with an obvious bitchy face (male or female) doesn’t say thank you I automatically say “You’re welcome.””

    Sometimes I do that, too, Dave. Usually makes their sour puss even more sour.

  3. Everyone in Williamsburg IS vapid and douchey.

    I’m a quick learner.

  4. dibs,

    I’m surprised. I thought the Bellagio was beautiful, if a bit loud and busy. They currently have the entire main hall/atrium decked out for the Chinese New Year (^5 to M4L).
    It looks awesome with red lanterns and a golden bed of flowers.

    kens,

    yeah, the monorail system is confusing, there is the city monorail system which is a bit run down and doesn’t really get you around town well.
    then there is a new monorail system just for Aria-Monte Carlo-Bellagio. It’s not part of the city’s system, it’s private.
