Boycotts

Since I married Wes I have joined his world of boycotts, as though the stores we're on the outs with will miss our business. I guess it becomes more effective when we share our problems with the evil conglomerates with the rest of the world.

1st Blockbuster: this one is really Wes'. Something about unreasonable late fees. But I am grateful for Redbox. After years of not renting movies, we're back in the game.

2nd Motherhood Maternity: these people are truly evil. And the lady that works at the Fashion Place location is very snippy. So first of all they don't carry all sizes. This is my main complaint. The snippy lady said it's because people wanted to return them because they grew out of them. Well for their information, I never grew into their smalls even 9 months pregnant. So what about the little people?! Doesn't anybody care?! Secondly, I don't know who designs their clothes, but have they looked into modern fashion? I know they've come a long way from the tents that our moms wore, but does everything have to have a bow that ties around your back. Sometimes they would have a bow in front and it tied in the back. Now that's just silly. Anyway, their lack of smaller sizes and ridiculous bows really limited my maternity wardrobe. Old Navy was my life saver. Also, I went back there to buy a nursing bra and again they don't carry smaller sizes. I may think I'm large from what I used to be, but I'm no 46H. Any small chested nursing mothers should check out this store on 9400 S and 700 E. lots of sizes and very helpful.

3rd Eddie Bauer: This one goes back to a few years ago when I was looking for a jean skirt. I don't normally shop at Eddie Bauer, but I thought "What the hey, maybe they'll have something." Again they don't carry anything smaller than a 4. How rude is that?!! I'm tired of size discrimination. So they made my boycott list meaning anything that says Eddie Bauer on it is forbidden. This includes all their baby gear. So eat it Eddie Bauer! I found a skirt at Express on sale for $6 because they make sizes for everyone.

As far as our celebrity boycotts, Wes is stingier than I am. He avoids Adam Sandler and Chris Farley types and I think their hilarious. We agree on Ben Affleck, because he's been retarded since JLo. Who believes he can save the planet. The only good thing he's ever done is Armageddon and it's mostly Bruce Willis who saves that one. Sheryl Crow is out since she used an award show to state her political beliefs and she ruined Lance Armstrong. I think that if you have that much money, call a press conference and tell the world what you think. Don't try to slip it in while you're supposed to be reading who's up for best ____. Cameron Diaz is just annoying, and not so attractive as most people think. I would avoid Nicolas Cage like the plague if I could get away with it. But sometimes if I want to go out with my husband I have to deal with his lack of personality. He just looks and talks like the elevator doesn't go all the way to the top. We listen to country music and the Dixie Chicks apparently forgot what gun-toting-red-white-and blue genre they're in. So I was forced to walk out of their concert. Those are all I can think of right now. Really it's the stores that fire me up.
