Things You Shouldn't Talk to Your Boyfriend About - Response

Disclaimer: if the words poop, tampon, or period creep you out...just leave this post now. (sorry Dad and Eric)

I recently read a couple articles talking about things you shouldn't talk to your boyfriend about. I couldn't disagree more, really.

• "I'm on my period or I'm about to start my period."
• "I'm so bloated."
• "I have to to go poop."
• "I got hit on today at work, school, whatever."
• "I hope to get married some day."
• "I need to go to the store for tampons."
• "I feel fat today."

Bodily Function Talk : Seriously. How old are we? If your boyfriend can't handle hearing about your bodily functions, maybe he shouldn't be your boyfriend. I mean obviously you don't need to go into super detail, but I feel like saying you are on your period or have to use the restroom are all normal things that one should expect to encounter when dating somebody. Boys know girls poop. If you sneak away for 10 minutes, do they think you're peeing? No.

Future Talk : As far as talk of the future, I think these things should be discussed even if it's only lightly. What is the point of dating somebody if you don't want the same things in the future? Do you want to find out 4 years down the road he never wants kids or never wants to get married? Doomed. Doomed I tell you.

Tampon Talk : Stupid. If I need to go to Target for tampons, am I supposed to tell my boyfriend to stay home? Sorry babe, you can't come with me. Yeah, that doesn't scream I'm guilty or anything.

Hit On Talk : It's all about security, people. Sometimes these stories can be funny. I've had a few encounters that were share worthy. I tell my boyfriend and he tells me. Is it really something to hide? If his ego can't take it...sorry not sorry.

Fat Talk : I am so guilty of this. Sometimes you just feel fat. Even if you aren't. I think it's okay to say it. Maybe you ate a huge meal. Maybe your food baby is feeling extra plump. Maybe you are going to start your period. Oops. I said the word. It doesn't mean you are insecure with yourself. It just means you are having a fat day. Throw on those leggings, girl.

My point? He's your boyfriend. You should be able to talk about anything. You could potentially be with this person forever. Are you supposed to never talk about how you are really feeling ever again??? You might as well not say another word to each other for the rest. of. forever... (draaaaaamatic)

What are your thoughts on this?

BTW : I'm guilty of all of these things. Oops. Sorry, boyfriend <3

Rants of a Receptionist Part 1

During the day, I am a receptionist. I work for an electrical contracting company that has about 150 people internally and even more people out in the "field." Let's say 350 people total?

When you call a business - of any kind - please for the sake of the receptionist's sanity...

1. say HELLO. Don't just rattle of a name.
2. know the last name of the person you are trying to reach. Oh, Michael? We have 21 of those.
3. no, I cannot track down the right Michael for you. Ain't nobody got time for that.
4. no, we do not have a paging system. We are not a grocery store.
5. if you are seeking employment, do not start with "hey yo, you hiring in dere?" No sir, we are not.
6. do not call back saying Michael didn't answer. Did you leave a message?
7. oh you didn't leave a message? No, I cannot go look for him.
8. do not ask for the personal cell phones & emails of the owner and/or managers. you're kidding me, right?
9. oh you're old friends? shouldn't you have his number then? do not make up some story of how you know the person you are trying to reach. we know when you are lying.
10. do not tell me to pep up. I was plenty peppy until you called 12 times looking for Michael.
11. DO NOT say "oh you're just the receptionist?" I am a lot more than a receptionist. Don't even start.

I feel a lot better now.

Have you ever been a receptionist? Share your stories below! I know you have some!

Five on Friday - Accessories

My very first Five on Friday. Woot! I am going to do mine a little different. Some weeks will be five thoughts or five favorites...five cupcakes or five pictures..etc etc. I want to mix it up every week. I can cover a lot more topics this way and it will be more fun for all of us!

I loved my accessories this week! I usually wear an armful of Pura Vida bracelets everyday. I never take those off, so they don't count.

Monday - red heart tights from Forever 21 a couple years ago

Tuesday - LC two finger ring from Kohls last year

Wednesday - Amy Cornwell heart earrings - Amy Cornwell

Thursday - scarf from She Does Justice

Friday - Galaxy Glitter Ring? from Plato's Closet. I have no idea what brand it is.

 

Well, there you have it! The picture of the Amy Cornwell earrings is from her website. Ear pictures always look so weird to me when I try and take them myself.

What's in a Name? (A Link-Up)

This is my very first link up!!! I hope I end up doing this right.

I stumbled upon Mackenzie's blog today and this link up was the first thing I saw.

So what's in my name? My blog name that is.

Well....

• I love the ocean. Ocean minded girl right here.
• I love mermaids. I would be one if I could.
• I make things - cupcakes, crafts, anything really.
• I try and cherish everything moment - the good and the bad.

So...
mermaids + making things + cherishing moments = Mermade Moments.

Oh! And my name is Miranda. Talk about perfection!

What's in your name?

30 Day Beach Body Challenge!

I have 124 days until I embark on my Caribbean vacation. I'm going with my boyfriend, my best friend Beth, and her boyfriend Evan. First of all, eeeeek! I've been working out sort of regularly for the last couple weeks and I've been eating a loooot better. Very minimal eating out at restaurants and water, water, water! I want to look good in that swim suit!

I like doing these challenges because they are quick, easy, and each day is already laid out for me.

This challenge works out all parts of our body, which is cool! All of the ones I see are just for abs or legs or something.

Care to join? It's only 30 days and the time will pass anyway. :)

What do you do to get yourself beach ready?

10 Reasons Why I Think Taylor Swift is Brilliant

I love me some Taylor. I guess you could say I'm a Swiftie. Did I just create a fan club for her? For the record, I am not a Belieber. Just no. I will say that her songs are not revolutionary in anyway, but they are good for some things...

• your 'i hate my ex boyfriend' moods
• you've just found out you've been cheated on
• you're in a cray cray relationship with John Mayer
• you left Taylor Lautner hanging and didn't take the roses he offered you
• you knew he was trouble, trouble, trouble
• or you are in fact...22

Here are the reasons why I think she is brilliant:

1. She's a millionare. Take that, heartbreakers!
2. She's dated some of the hottest men in show business.
3. She's used heartbreak to her advantage. No love handles or therapy sessions for her!
4. Jake Gyllenhaal. John Mayer. Tyler Lautner. #2 just wasn't enough.
5. Men still want to date her.
6. That hair. Those sparkly outfits. Girl please.
7. She made modesty work for her.
8. She had a treehouse in her living room at one point.
9. No jail time. No rehab. No DUIs. No peeing in airport plants. Sorry Biebs. You made it too easy.
10. You have never seen her undies when she is exiting a car. And that girl has some serious leg.

I would totally be her friend.

Here's this little gem for your enjoyment. *i found this on pinterest, the image is not my own*
