Lunch beeps

So, everyday at lunch I go for a walk with my coworker/friend. 
And we talk about life, love, and the pursuit of happiness. 
We "talk shop"- work related things. We "talk boys"- about my husband and her boyfriend. 
We walk, we talk, it's really refreshing. 

But (almost) every day we have a nice little awkward chuckle about one thing... people who honk at us as we are walking. Minding our own businesses. *HONK!* It usually seems to be some sort of blue collar workers in a truck or van.
And we have started coming up with reasons why they do this:
- They think we look good (obvs)
- They fantasize about a white-collar woman
- They think white collar women fantasize about the blue-collared guy who's going to fix all their 'problems'
- They're dirty old men
- They think it's the ultimate compliment
- They want us to know we were noticed

These are all legit reasons. We are still debating whether it's rude, disgusting, kinda funny, whether we are offended or feel appreciated, whether its uncalled for or just another stupid thing that happens to plenty of people every day. It's not like we are asking for it. We are wearing shift dresses, or dress pants and button up blouses, or maybe a sweater with a skirt- always with sneakers! We are not wearing short bodycon dresses with stripper heels. Some days it's hot enough to take off our sweater or blazer and show our shoulders- woohoo!
We have debated bringing gym-like clothes with us to change into so maybe we don't look so awkward. Because that's how we feel- we don't feel hot (except temperature-wise) or sexy when they do this, we actually feel awkward because we are wearing sneakers with dressed up outfits and it looks funny. So in a way- it makes us feel less self conscious (and more at the same time).

So, I guess thanks for the compliments. If you're beeping because you think we are fat or snobby or something negative than you can just f**k off, lol.

Would love to here come comments about this topic. Does this happen to you? How do you feel? Do you do this to people? Why? What's the motive? Any interpretations? Let me know!

Everyone's thinking it, I'm asking: Is today's left wing liberalism a mental illness?

This is a serious topic of discussion on 'the right'. Not even the far right... the center right. The " 68 % conservatives", the "Centrists", the "Young Outsiders", and the "Somewhat Liberals".  I don't know what the spectrum is for "political or world views" but I'd have to say I hang to the right and the conservative. Which sounds so weird, because CONSERVATIVE is not really a word I'd  ever  use to describe myself. But I talked about this in past blog posts... today's topic is, are people on the FAR LEFT suffering from mental illness? My psychologist sister would have you believe that everyone suffers from some form of mental illness in varying degrees. I suffer from anxiety which induces depression. FUN! The anxiety is inherited, the depression is what occurs when you stop learning how to cope with new or prolonged anxiety inducing situations. Anxiety is a product of chemical imbalance, it can be trea

Kevin Hart has said what every normal person feels/believes...

As I sit here in my pajamas, trying to finish eating cold oatmeal and drink cold coffee, with my 3 month old daughter fussing at my side- the little dictator that she is- I say to myself, "Wow, if only 20-year-old me could see me now". What do I mean when I say that? I mean I was pretty much hell on wheels until I was 28. A hot mess for too long. In no way a role model or even proud of myself for .... anything really. I didn't speak eloquently or smartly, I was often not a respectful person towards other, I was probably down right insensitive. And I was kinda a tramp. Not exactly the kind of person you'd want around kids or even to take home to meet Mom and Grandma. But, hey- PEOPLE CHANGE. In the words of Kevin Hart: "   If you don't believe that people change, grow, evolve as they get older, I don't know what to tell you. If you want to hold people in a position where they always have to justify or explain their past, then do you."   Can we all

Zoey Tur V Ben Shapiro... feelings V facts

There is a video of a Trans man (a man who charades as a woman of sorts?) named Zoey Tur (Inside Edition reporter) engaging in a conversation with Ben Shapiro (Breitbart News senior editor-at-large). It seems they were supposed to be having some sort of debate about whether Caitlin Jenner, also trans (a man who charades as a woman of sorts?), deserved the "woman of the year award" for 'bravery'. It erupted when Ben stated that Caitlin is in no way a woman, and neither is Zoey, because- FACTS. Fav line ever:  "Facts don't care about your feelings." Ben refuses to live in Zoey's reality. Ben refuses to accept things that are not based on facts. Ben sees the facts and will not be bullied into saying, doing, or believing anything illogical. At one point, the panel started getting raucous and off topic, so Ben Shapiro asked if the discussion was supposed to be on genetics and asked Zoey, “What are your genetics, sir?” (because, FACTS) Zoey proceeded
