Naomi=Common Sense Queen

Naomi is from The Knot San Antonio board, which seems to be how I meet most people nowadays…The Knot. I am not ashamed of that because the girls are amazingly sweet and nice. <insert awww>

Anyway, back to the point of the post, Naomi is the Queen of Common Sense, whereas I am the Queen of Make It Difficult.

Example A- This all started from my status message on Facebook (feel free to friend me by clicking on the link).

Monica: question for the Texas folks- as we all know, its hotter than hell outside. Does getting your car windows tinted help any in regards to not burning my butt everytime I get into my car or am I just screwed? Thoughts?

Naomi do you use a sun visor for your windshield?

Monica Naomi, I don't resort to such obvious solutions. :-P

Naomi  LOL...I use one and I seriously thinks that helps, i mean as you know it gets hotter than hell, so it won't work 100%, but it does help

Naomi  *think, I can't type today

Monica I will try the sun visor. It's weird I didn't think of that. I thought of the following solutions: tinted windows, remote start installation, and a personal slave to cool off my car and drive it to me.
Sun visor? Not on the list.

Naomi  think of the simple things in life :D

Monica Now I look bad for thinking of hiring a personal slave. Thanks Naomi. ;)

Naomi  LMAO! I don't even have a good comeback I'm laughing so hard

Monica LOL! I'm a dork, I know. *sigh*

Example B- She left a comment on my heirloom white spray paint post.

Naomi: “http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00176MX24
Just buy it there. It's much better than you looking all over town for it. lol”

And then I had to harass talk to her about it via GMail Chat.

 me:  Ok, enough of the common sense stuff...first the sun visor and now Amazon.
Naomi:  LOL
I'm just trying to help a sister out
me:  Daniel was like, "order it from freaking Amazon and let it go." 
Naomi:  dude I couldn't do the store to store thing like you
me:  but the retail value is only $3.99, so Amazon has hiked up the price, but when I factor in gas and annoying my husband, I guess Amazon is the way to go
I love the store to store thing!
Naomi:  well what i would do cuz it's a super saver shipping item I would just spend $25 dollars so I got free shipping cuz I'm a goof like that
me:  It's the thrill of the chase.
I would do that, too, and they have other colors I want.
Naomi:  Ya well you get some pretty good steals, you need to teach me your makeover ways
me:  Oh it's so fun!
I thought it'd be hard, but it's pretty easy once you plan it out.
wait until you see the tacky gold shelf makeover
Naomi:  ya i guess planning it out is my problem, i just want it already planned so i can do
me:  yeah, I hear ya. Pre-wedding I couldn't do it, but now that I am married, I have my brain back.

It’s good to have my brain back. Common sense will come later, I guess. I can’t have it all.
