Things that it seems that everyone likes but me:

-Vera Bradley bags
-Pirates (of the Carribean, on a t-shirt, as a bling encrusted bauble, etc)
-Dancing with the Stars
-Iced Coffee
-Diet Coke
-Tweedy Bird/Mickey Mouse stuff
-Asparagus


I wanted to talk about the new Spoon album, an episode of Iron Chef America that I watched last night (battle Garbanzo Bean!!), my new tea maker, the fact that Jones Sodas are now going non-HFCS, and my favorite work messangerbag (a reused diaper bag).......  no one could relate....


we did find common ground on beer and quesadillas, though...

What's wrong with asparagus?

I hear you - I'm the most unhip early 30s chick that I know, and yet conversation topics can be limited with my (almost universally older, male) categories.

I didn't know that about Jones Sodas. Thanks!

I hate asparagus. Yuck. Although iced coffee was like crack to me when I was pregnant...decaf of course, so I wouldn't get beat down by other pregnant ladies horrified by my cravings.

I think Vera Bradley bags are really, really ugly. OMG, that felt so good to admit. Really ugly.

Yeah! Let it out! Share what you feel is too ugly for the masses!!

Hey, I was addicted to Coke Slurpees/Icee's when I was pg, and it was a struggle to limit mine to a small once a week..

That is cool about the Jones sodas. Have you ever submitted a photo for a label? I haven't, but I've thought about it.

I've never submitted a photo, but a friend of mine successfully did who was photographing all of the living Pearl Harbor survivors....I think it was 3 or 4 old vets who still kept in touch...this was YEARS ago when no one had ever heard of Jones!

Do you co-workers actually discuss Tweedy Bird/Mickey Mouse stuff? Was someone wearing said hideous t-shirt? Bizarre.

The skip hops last forever! Mine fits a laptop perfectly, but doesn't leave that much room for my lunch. If I leave the laptop, its got space for a weeks worth of gym clothes!

AND love how easily you can toss it in the wash and freshen them up!

Hee. Yeah. I work in such a stufffy industry. Whenever I let the conversation go into things that my husband does, I get some serious sideway glances.
