I’m Kristen. Welcome to All In My Twenties, my place to pour my little heart out on the daily!! This is the world just as I see it. Why dont you kick up your feet and stay awhile?!
Dear Rocky: You may be the cutest little thing Ive ever seen and I wish you lived closer to so you could be best friends with Tugger Bear and Lilly!! I know they would LOVE you just as much as I already do! If your Momma doesnt bring you to Texas with her in March we are gonna have some problems. I know you agree so tell her to make it happen! XO
Dear Anyone Who Has Ever Made An Account On Get Off My Internets: You are adding to the problem that is known as the worst website ever. If youve never heard of it, YOURE LUCKY!! Its basically The Dirty .Com for bloggers where trashy, MEAN people with nothing better to do create forums to talk shit about innocent people. Ive read some of the most cruel evil things ever on that site and I refuse to ever go back simply in hopes that it will go away. Its BULLYING in its worst form. And have no doubt that I will probably end up on it just for standing against it. BARF.
Dear All You Northern Ladies: Seeing yall all dressed up in your adorable boots, sweaters and scarves has this girl 17 kinds of jealous. And we all know jealousy looks good on NO ONE! So Im gonna need Fall to go ahead and get here already!! I have a pair of boots and quite a few sweaters that Im dying to get on!!
Dear Snooty Mrs. Im Too Good For You "Fashion" Blogger: Just because you choose to spend your money at overpriced stores does not mean you are better than anyone else. Clearly Target isnt Nordstrom and to be honest Im completely OKAY with that. Thats actually why I take my happy ass to Target. Because its NOT Nordstrom and 9 times out of 10 I can find something just as cute for a fraction of the price. I call it being SMART and I choose to spend my money on other things that make me happy like vacation. So dont you dare talk shit about us "less fortunate Target people".
Dear So Shay: I love our chats!! Hearing your laugh always brings a smile to my face as does your sweet spirit! Im so glad we've become such great friends and I have no doubt that we will be friends forever! I just told Christopher yesterday that Im so excited to have a photographer BF cause someone I know and love will be photographing all of our big moments in life and that makes the memories so much more special to me!! Thanks for being you bug!
Dear Kelly Ann: I am DYING in anticipation to see what ideas you have for my blog design! I know you just got back from NYC, only cause I Instagram stalk to shiznit out of you, so Ill leave you alone! But Im seriously waiting on pins and needles to see what you have in mind! Thank you for rocking and thank you for working with me!! I love you already!! XO And I promise this NOT a "hurry up already" shout out!! Take your time dear!!
Dear Steph: You building that big ole house has me wanting to buy a house so bad! Im seriously considering skipping the whole engagement/marriage business and jumping straight into a mortgage. I kid you not. And thats the last thing I need to do! Ive already got things all kinds of backwards by asking Chris for boobs instead of a ring and now Im asking for a house instead of a marriage. What the hell is wrong with me?? Dont worry I promised to live vicariously through you for a while!! Oh and love your butt. k. Bye Bears!
Dear Diehard Breast Feeding Bloggers: I have nothing negative to say about you nursing your children past the ago of one. I can even look past the photos of you nursing your toddler cause whatever works for you works and Im just happy youre taking care of your kids. Lord knows there are too many who dont! What really weirds me out is when I read how heartbroken you are when your child stops wanting to breastfeed. Maybe this is because Ive never experienced this but it just creeps me out when I read about women who are having breakdowns over this. Should that be a good thing?? That may be one of those things you keep to yourself cause it seems a tad weird to me.
Dear Erin: I think I should win your group giveaway. Why? Because I read your blog every day and I laugh at your crazy shenanigans and because I entered that bitch like 10 times. I also want all the things youre giving away and my birthday is coming up soon. So try and pick me. If I was having one of those big giveaways I would try and pick you. Just try, okay. Either way we are still friends. Duh...
Dear Blogger: Thanks for keeping up with my shit every day. Youre always here to let me talk even when no one else wants to listen. You rock and thats why I keep comin back!
Killin' me with this post, girlfriend. Tell me you feel better now!
ReplyDeleteI have a thread on get off my internets and its awful. The day I found out about it cried for hours. I will never understand how people can be so awful.
ReplyDeletei'm a new follower to your blog and i love it. especially this post today! you crack me up!! and i'm [secretly] dying to you know who "Little Gossip Blogger Clique", "Mrs. Im A Perfect Christian Blogger", and "Snooty Mrs. Im Too Good For You "Fashion" Blogger" are!! haha
ReplyDeleteshelley
littlemidwestramblings.blogspot.com
All I can say is...YOU CRACK ME UP!!
ReplyDeleteNever fails. Hahaha, have a great weekend!! xo
You bash GOMI (a horrible, website, yes) but then you talk negatively about other bloggers passive aggressively on your own blog? You're angry at a Christian blog, you're angry at a gossip-y Twitter clique and you're mad at fashion bloggers who can afford expensive clothing? And yet, you get mad when others talk negatively about you? And then say "How dare they!" but come right back around and do the same thing to others on your own blog?
ReplyDeleteIt's your blog, you can do whatever you want, but by definition, it is the pot calling the kettle black. You're doing the same thing here that you accuse others of doing on that awful website.
First, don't you feel like you just unloaded so much - and is it funny that I just fist pumped during it?
ReplyDeleteSecond, I will never ever be a fashion blogger. I am a mess most days. SO they can judge me.
Third, I'm sorry that people judge you. I'd never ever judge you, in fact, I kinda wanna be like you : )
Love all these! I'll never understand the people who bring negativity into blogging. Isn't the fun part that we all get to be ourselves and laugh WITH each other's crazy shenanigans??? Some people really need a reality check!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness I made it in not 1 but 2 pics. even though technically the Rocky one is for him, I'm still there. LOVE LOVE LOVE it lady and you! you made my DAY! :-)
ReplyDeletePS email me. got a question.
CAN'T WAIT to come there and finally hug you! and Rocky is excited too!
Hahahaha.....thanks for the subliminal message there. Every other blogger may just hate you when I announce that you randomly won this giveaway now ;) You crack me up lady. I will do what I can do. Only for you. Okay and your boobs. So I was thinking I probably need to come to Texas. Preferably with Katie. And Rocky obvs. Or you can come here so you can do something really exciting like wear a scarf ;)Either way I love you girl. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more with your GOMI thoughts. I just went to it for the first time... what is WRONG with people?! They all have no lives and are clearly jealous of those who do and are genuinely happy living them. I couldn't believe all the crap that was being said. I mean, it makes me want to nit-pick their lives and blogs. Who the hell cares what people blog about!? Ugh, I'm so annoyed right now with what I just saw... so this is me venting; with you and FOR you :) I think you're goregous and an amazing blogger so don't let those nasty people get to you.
ReplyDeleteThis post was too funny!! I love the part about Target!
ReplyDeleteWait, wait, wait...somebody actually used the term "less fortunate Target people"?? I feel sorry for anybody that actually has that mindset. Target is THE shit, always and forever.
ReplyDeleteThis seriously might be my favorite post that you've ever written. You called it like it is in every way. I love it. What's that saying.. "Your beliefs don't make you a better person, your behavior does"?
Have a great weekend girl! :-)
Girl, I'm so intrigued by someone who hates Target. Is she a commie? Wtffff
ReplyDeleteHaha this is cute. I know. Those fashion bloggers bug me too. I love Target clothes too.
ReplyDeleteOh girl, this post made me laugh and maayyyybe do a mini fist pump at my desk.
ReplyDeleteGlad you keep it real...

ReplyDeleteDude..some commenters should just stop reading your blog if they don't like what you say. Judgmental or not. Yes, I see the irony in some of your letters, but you know what? Who gives a shit? I'd like someone to point out a person who has NEVER been a hypocrite - passive agressively or not...
ReplyDeletePS dot com: if you wanted someone to proof read your posts to make sure you don't sound like a bitch, or wanted someone to be brutally honest with you and point out when you look like a hypocrite...I'M SURE YOU WOULD ASK!? Am I wrong?
THINK CLASSY, Kristen! This was your best Friday Letters to date! :)
Dear Bridget @ Think Classy (commenter from above): it's not the "pot calling the kettle black" here...it's called HONESTY and being REAL. Knowing Kristen personally (for many years now) and knowing exactly who she's referring to in each one of these "letters" is nothing but truth. She's as real as they come, which is why most people appreciate her so if you don't like the truth she brings to the surface, do ME a favor, click that little red "X" in the corner and find another, non-negative, non-passive aggressive blog to read.
ReplyDeleteKeep it classy, my friend. Tata!
Oh! And in addition to my comment above...thanks for reading and commenting on Kristen's blog! Sister just got PAID even more, thanks to you! ;)
ReplyDeleteOhhh goodness! This is what I love about you Kristen! 100% real and nothing else! Although I am dying to know who you're talking about.. I'm nosy like that, I'm glad you were able to get it off your chest. For people that don't like it aka miss mean comment up there.. I'm sure you don't mind if they don't read if they don't like what you have to say! It's funny that she doesn't like what you have to say but then chooses to spend her time reading and commenting. I wonder if she knows how many of us have your back?! Keep being you sister! Have a fabulous weekend :)
ReplyDeleteI love this. And Target. And your blog. Who cares what anyone else thinks, do you.
ReplyDeleteBest Friday Letters post ever.
I love your honesty and I also love how you don't put the actual person on blast. Props to you girlie, even though I am dying to know WHO you are talking about!
ReplyDeleteI love your Real Talk moments, keep it up!
xoxo
Love this whole post. & I'm super jealous of all the girls in the north that get to wear their cute boots & scarves too.. Us Texas girls still have a while to go!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I can't get past someone hating on Target. I take that attack personally, HAHA! And, Second of all.. I love you girl, you are so honest and real! Don't let haters bring you down!
ReplyDeleteKristen, I have been reading your blog (found through Pink Lou Lou's) for a while but this is my first post. I just wanted to tell you I LOVE reading your blog because of how clear your voice comes through and how honest and truthful that voice is. I can't stand the blogs that make life all Nordstrom and roses, great for whoever can afford that but the majority of us ladies have a one up on them because we CAN shop at Target (and Old Navy, Forever21, TJ Maxx, etc) and still look beautiful AND "on trend" (although those words sort of make me feel bleh). The occasional splurge is awesome, but AGREED on rather spending that money on a vacation for me and my hubzy rather than on a $130 sweater!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog, Kristen!
I wish I knew who you were talking about! I freaking love Target. It is NOT Nordstrom and like you said, that's okay with me!
ReplyDeleteoh shit..I need to put my boots on up in here shits getting kinda deep..... You speak your mind and I love it....I'd rather someone be real and thats what you are... keep rockin it sista!
ReplyDeleteYou have NO idea how happy this makes me!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am going to send you SO many pics of me breastfeeding! LOL!
And sorry I didn't respond to your boob e-mail....SO EXCITING! I totally put it on my calendar so I can remember to send you hugs. :)
p.s. WTH doesn't like TARGET
ReplyDeleteIt's unfortunate that people can't see the difference in bullying & the honest truth. I can't stand judgmental people at all! There is only one person that should be judging anyone... THE MAN UPSTAIRS! I don't find what you've said today offensive or rude, it's the honest to goodness truth. The only reason people get in a tizzy over it is because they know it's the truth. I say if anyone doesn't like what you say or finds it offensive, they need to move on! Why would you continually come back to visit a blog that you don't like?? Makes NO SENSE to me!
ReplyDeleteI have to say, I'm jealous of your upcoming boobs - I had a consultation about 1 1/2 years ago & financially, I just couldn't do it. I hope everything turns out great & that you're truly happy with them! Happy Weekend chicka!!!
Amen to all of the above!!! You are always spot on and I love you for it :)
ReplyDeletewell said! Had me nodding my head and laughing the whole way thru :)
ReplyDeleteHI Im new to the blogging world. I have been reading a few blogs and have to say yours is by far one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteI full heartedly (new word.. maybe?) believe that there is a difference between speaking the truth and being honest and being a bully. Thats why I love your blog your REAL, your honest and you don't sugar coat at all.
Go One and get your boobs, nothing wrong with a little upgrading!!!
Oh and whoever doesn't love them some TAR-JAY is crazy!!!
Definitely one of your best posts...ever...and you have LOTS of gems!! hahaha.
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of the 'Dear gossip blogger clique' and 'Dear Mrs. Im a Perfect Christian Blogger'...I'm dying to know who these gals are now!!
Is it wrong for me to want to know who 'Dear gossip blogger clique' , 'Dear Mrs. Im a Perfect Christian Blogger', and "Dear Snooty Mrs. Im Too Good For You "Fashion" Blogger" are?
ReplyDeletei just wanted to tell you that this post makes me love you more than i did before, which is hard to imagine. that is all. have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteOh man your letters have me busting up. I am definitely curious of who those bloggers are. I think getting a boob job is freaking awesome, in fact if I had the spare money I would be walking my happy ass right into a consultation too! :D Can't wait to see your new boobs (hope that didn't come off creepy..)!
ReplyDeleteUgh! i hope people aren't being mean to you anymore! Haters are my motivators!
ReplyDeleteAmen to the fashion bloggers letter! Target allllll the way! Heck, i've found some way cuter pieces or some very similar ones, for a fraction of the ridiculous price those people paid!
ReplyDeleteOk! So I'm reading blogs post a few margaritas ... My opinion- this is your piece of Internet say what you want!
ReplyDeleteAlso I love hearing about your boob job ... Since I'm dying for one!!! Hopefully in my buzzed margarita state I get knocked up and can get boobs shortly!!
Enjoy your life! Who said you have to get married then buy a house then have a baby ... Do what makes YOU happy
I'm so ready or Houston to get a old front so I can bust out my boots too! So if the could hurry up iw would be great!
ReplyDeleteClarissa
Get it all off your chest because that's what keeps me laughing!! Hope you're having a great weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteWow sounds like a lot of &^%holes on the internet these days. I'd never heard of that internets website but I check it out and just wow. That's horrible.
ReplyDeleteI've never been able to breastfeed but I can understand people being upset when their child stops. Once babies stop being all cuddly, breastfeeding is probably one of the only times that the little one will be still and cuddle. It's an intimacy/bonding thing I think.
1 - Who hates Target and what is wrong with that person?! Target is the bomb.com!
ReplyDelete2 - Count me in the group as kinda jealous of your upcoming "enhancement"! My friend Lauren just got it done, showed them to me afterwards, and now I have serious boob envy.
3 - I'm also dying to know who these people are you're talking about, haha. Sorry, I'm nosey :P
Girl, you are truly one of a kind! Not everyone would have the guts to say something like this! I think you are awesome and those mean people can kiss your ass! (Actually, no they can't because they don't even deserve that!) Target is the bomb and they suck for not thinking that.
ReplyDeleteAlso, to those people who say that you're doing the same thing as that stupid website obviously doesn't get it. Kristen is attaching her name to her complaints and she isn't using their names so why is it a problem? I don't think it is!
K, you ROCK.
haha love this post. and i completely feel you about wanting fall to get here like yesterday. it's been in the 90s-100s in la lately :( i want to wear my boots and scarves!
ReplyDeleteI love you honey boo boo child! :)
ReplyDeleteI am LOVING the boots in that photo. Where are they from?!
ReplyDeletesimplylowcountry.blogspot.com
I just found your blog and I love it :-) I'll admit I do love my designer goods, but I also love Target and F21 and h&m too. I love anything that is pretty. One thing I dislike is people who think they are better than others.
ReplyDeleteAawww, YOU'RE AMAZING!! At this VERY moment I'm putting some finishing touches on a design idea for you, my dear :) Think: white, grey, pink, clean, fresh, BOOM. Sending it your way tonight! XO!
