To get the full effect of the bunch of baloney I'm about to tell you {full disclosure: your grandma and I are teaming up to bring "That's Baloney!" back as an expression} you must go back to the title and read it with ... I don't know ... about a 1 second pause in between each word.
Now you're ready.
So here's something weird. Apparently I only care about knowing the time in the mornings and the evenings. It seems I've recently developed an extraordinary knack for looking at the clock at exactly 9:11 every. single. day. Every day man! So I tell Tyson about it and he's all ... hm. weird. where's Everett? But inside I'm all !!!!!!!! What does it mean universe??
It's got to mean something terrible doesn't it? Like a parking ticket omen ...

Shoes + lipstick + hair perfection. Great outfit! I think your clock looking miracle might just be a reminder to slowww downnnn ;)
I have a friend who used to look at the clock at 10:06 every day, and after she told me I started to do the same. It was super weird... But gorgeous outfit! Love the hair.
I always look at the clock at 10:33!!! It's been happening for years and I'm glad to know someone else has the same thing happen to them. Maybe we're just special? :)

i do that too!! except it's in the morning right before my alarm is about to go off, so that experience isn't as enjoyable!
love the outfit!

I remember having that same thing when I was in highschool...every day in the same classes, I would look at the clock at the same time...totally weird and amazing, ha!
You look lovely, the usu.
xo! Taylor
I look EVERY DAY at 10:13!
I've been doing it for about 15 years - it freaks me out. Something big is going to happen at that time or on 10/13 or something.
I completely understand this because for me it's always 7:23!! Always. I never miss seeing it. It's really creepy. Especially because it's also my birthday date. It's gotta mean something...
I think it means it's SNACK TIME!!
yes?
No?
Have a snack, and think about it....

love the jeans!!
THE SAME THING HAPPENS TO ME!!! 9:11. EVERY DAY. No one believes me! I'm glad i'm not the only one.
You're not alone! My hubby see 9:11 all the time. I, on the other hand, always say 11:11, 1:11, and other variations in unexpected places.
Girlllll you look good. And it totally means something. Maybe something good will happen at 9:11 one day???
Ha! That happened to me when I was in 7th grade. Every. single. day. TWICE sometimes. 9:11...
I , too, thought the universe was trying to warn me of danger. I even thought out tons of things that could happen at 9:11 the next day and imagined myself coming to the rescue. Bah!
(pay the parking meter!)
Love your hair and sunglasses you look great!
love the way you did your hair!

My husband had a friend that did that at 9:11. I do it all the time with 6:10, which is my birthday. I was just talking to my husband about it the other day and he didn't think it was a big deal. Men.
For a long time my husband was seeing "666" EVERYWHERE. He was genuinely concerned by it. But I am one of those folks who believes that WE assign meaning to things, and sometimes it's simply the law of attraction or fear that brings certain recurring themes into our lives, so to speak. Don't worry about it, girl. You're all gonna be just fine. :)
The time I always see is 12:23. Kind of creepy, but I am glad to know I am not alone.
I NEED those sunglasses. You make them look so cute!
http://leeanderin.blogspot.com/
i do that too. 9:11. I think its a couple of things..first, its a pretty normal time to look at the clock - in the morning, its start work time..at night, its heading on towards sleepy time. Second, the numbers 9 11 obviously have a significant meaning to us, so we notice when we see them on the clock. We look at the clock many times a day, but we don't notice because the numbers don't mean anything other than time. If you happen to look at the clock at 11:11, you'll notice, because its wish time, right?
I used to freak myself out about this 911 clock looking thing, but its completely natural.
You want to know something even more strange? I do the same thing. Same time. 9:11.
Isn't that crazy?! I mentioned this to one of my co-workers about 3 months ago and then to my husband. It still continues to this day, though now I also look at the clock at 4:11.
I definitely don't like the 9:11.
You are not going to believe this, but it is ALWAYS 9:11 when I look at the clock. It's something that I have secretly feared for some time. I try to just ignore the meaning of it and just assume I am constant.
I was reading this casually thinking, how odd that she looks at the clock at 9:11 and I innocently looked at the clock only to realize it was 9:11.
I just about died.
Also, you look amazing. ;)
Ok, not to freak you out, but ME TOO! It started a few years ago, and happened almost every day. Every time I would look at the clock it would be 9:11! It would happen in my car, at home... it was the strangest thing. Now it only happens every once in a while. Crazy! I'm totally with you on the "!!!!!"!
That's great! And hey, maybe it's an omen of something good?
Giving away a gorgeous turqouise, lapis, and quartz necklace! http://modamama.blogspot.com/2012/02/scarlet-samples-giveaway.html
those SHOES! love!
love the pictures!!!!
Weird... I always look at the clock at 9:11 too. It all started when I was pregnant with my son (18 months). I told my husband too, and he was like "don't worry about it." Then I went in to labor at 4:30am and had my son at... you guessed it...9:11am! So with that being said it could mean something great!
you look great in those glasses! i want some!
gandacumming,blogspot.com
i do the same thing with 12:34.
it is crazy, and no one cares!!
upsetting.
i'm thinking it must mean something good though, like it's our own personal version of 11:11. so make a wish!
I think it's just that time/date is significant to us so we notice it more. There's probably other times you always look at it and see the same time but it goes unnoticed.
This makes me SO SO happy!! I see the clock EVERY DAY at 11:11 almost EVERY SINGLE a.m. AND p.m. and I FREAK OUT to my colleagues and my husband...whoever is around me. It drives me bonkers!!
ooo i love love your hair! also your shirt. thrifted things are the best.
Ha! If you live/drive in DC, everything is a parking ticket omen! Those things are awful but reliable!
OH MY GOSH!! I have this weird knack for looking at the clock only when it's 9/11 too!!! I am not kidding, it happens a handful of days a week, and I always thinking about it... like "seriously?!" That is so weird.
Ps. love the coat, and shades, very modern Jackie O. That's a style that fits me well, so naturally I adore!
Well now I'm hungry for a baloney sandwich!
Also,your hair looks gorgeous! Going to check out the tutorial now :)
Definitely weird...and definitely something that would happen to me, too...
EVERYTHING means SOMETHING...now we just have to figure it out...
Hahaha! I think you will be fine :) You're way to cute for the universe to do anything tooooo terrible. Maybe just a hangnail... tops.
Love this outfit girl, so cute! ♥
okay you're freakin me out....I look at the clock at 9:11 alllll the time! Can the creepiness stop now please?
I ALWAYS look at the clock at 8:17 and 11:11 ..... WHY? it baffles me too! let me know if you come up with a good reason! lol
Um, that is weird, my husband does the same thing. He thinks its a conspiracy. And I have the same reaction as Ty. I'm over it lol. Maybe yall can get together and find the meaning of it x-files style.
Find out the meaning. This has been happening to me for years, literally!
Cute! I love the last photo! You look so happy:}
Weird, that totally happens to me to.

Don't you just hate it when husband's don't care about crazy stuff like that? It's the worst! And then they just think you're psycho, lol.
Dude, you read my fashion mind again. I did a braid up-do like that and it's in my post today. You look great! Loving those glasses big time.

don't panic!
long pause.
ok. panic, but usually i try to go glass half full on this stuff and think it means something good. so that's worth a shot, right?
ha, you are too funny girl. but don't worry, i'm exactly the same. i always seem to look at the clock at 9:11 in the morning AND evening. i've done it for a full two years now, no omen yet. knock on wood.
xo TJ
LOVE YOUR HAIR - so pretty!!!!
You. Look. Adorable.
Seriously, I need those glasses.
So I adore your hair! The twists are awesome. And my boyfriend told me the other day that HE has been looking at the clock everyday at exactly 9:11! So I'm a little freaked out...
Anyhoo, just wanted to tell you I love your column in The Washingtonian! Keep up the good work!
-Dani
I always look at the clock at EXACTLY 9:11 too! Glad to know I'm not the only one :)
Ha ha I thought I was the only one who still said "baloney". I love those sunglasses!
I usually happen to look at the clock at 4:20, weird. But I am good at guessing the time if someone asks, I usually guess right on tbe dot or a few minutes before or after.
that is weird. hopefully no omens are coming your way ;) love the new hairstyle!
Haha. You are so funny! It always brightens my day to read your posts. I love those sunnies too by the way! :)
http://mereandthemr.blogspot.com/
Haha not even kidding for months on end the same thing was happening to me! AM, PM, doesn't matter- I could not NOT look at the clock at 9:11! So silly. And you look adorable!
i need a hair tutorial please ... yours looks awesome :)
That happens to me too - and has been happening for years now. 11.11 is the time I always see. Given that 11 is my lucky number I take it as good sign!
AH! The same thing happens to me! Only at 11:11. Which is kind of sweet because I never miss my wish. :)
But it's CREEPY.
so odd...you may not believe this but for a brief period of time I too would look at the clock at exactly 9:11 p.m. Somehow I stopped doing it and didn't even notice and nothing bad happened. So you're going to be okay :)
Love this look. So effortless and chic!
Look at you FANCY PANTS.
Great outfit... and fabulous glasses!

It could mean something amazing though like, i don't know finding $20; or a cupcake just being delivered or just something else equally incredible.
You made me laugh as always :)
Thats funny. I used to wake up at 3:00 am allll the time. I would occaisonally get scared that it was a bad sign. Luckily that passed. ;)
haha, I look at the clock every day at 9:11 too! I just take it as a great reminder to be thankful for life and freedom. God Bless!
Love this retro look of yours. Looking fab, Syd, I wanna steal those sunglasses right from ya!

I'm not sure it means something bad. : ) I wake up every morning around 3:15am. Now that may mean something bad. lol. After watching the Exorcism of Emily Rose, it freaks me out to wake up anytime in the 3:00am time frame. I just it's your body not wanting to sleep past that time, knowing you have much to get done. Well I hope. hehe.

i look at the clock at 4:23 ever day and the thing that freaks me out is that 4/23 is my birthday. i know what you mean- it's WEIRD!
(this sounds a bit cheesy) but maybe its God blowin a kiss your way sayin "hey you! stop. breathe. and look at all the love you got". maybe he wants you to have a blissful second at the same time every morning!
I absolutely love that Hatch jacket, I have tried to win it a few times and my love for it never dissipates. You look fab!
Maybe it's because I just finished rereading the Hunger Games with my husband, his first time through, but the title made me think of the second book. Hope you read/have read them, they're fun books, but depressing.
that happens to me once in awhile and i freak out every time. throw some salt over my shoulder, hail mary's whatever it takes, hahaha. :)
you are not crazy.
The hair looks good on you. Thanks for the link.
it happens to my sister all the time too. it's ALWAYS a number sequence when she looks at it. like 4:44 or 1:23.
Great outfit. Love that the shirt is thrifted!
I usually see the number 37 usually once or twice a day. You're not the only one with weird things!

http://theblankpagesblog.blogspot.com/
12:34 every single day. It's so weird!!! My hubs thinks I'm crazy....and he's probably right.
9:11 am does that have significance to you? hmmm, maybe its ominous. uh oh.
SO WEIRD! So...for like a year after I broke up with my first love, whose jersey number in football happened to be 33, 90% of the time I would look at a clock it would be 6:33 or 7:33 or 4:33 or 2:33! I just couldnt escape the 33rd minute of every hour!
You look So Beautiful!!!!!
Happens with me too! I have been getting up at 7:27 everyday, look at the time and sleep again with a smile!
www.maneetgupta.blogspot.com
Haha! You are so cute. It means that you will have to cal 911 soon. Kidding! That is totally what I would take it as. I'm paranoid like that. Cute outfit :)
Such a fun look! I am going to try your lovely hairdo.
That happens to me all the time! Mines like 5:43 pm. It's weird.
Style in the City
This is totally weird because my fiance and I have the SAME THING. For four years now, we always always look at the clock at 9:11....I have yet to figure it out!!! I always felt like it meant something but I still dont know what!! AGH.

My twin sister and I played on a very height challenged volleyball team and were the tallest at 5 foot 7 inches! Our nick names were the twin towers. One day we were subbing in for each other and someone yells from the stands "look at the twin towers numbers." Her number was 9 and mine was 11...What came of this you might ask? not really anything! Hopefully it means the same for you :)
Yes, it means you are a little bit nuts but very sweet! Love your hair today, hope you do a tutorial or show us a close up pic.x
The exact thing happens to me too! I always see 9:11 and then the date of my birthday 11:08. And whenever I mention it, people think I am weird... glad I am not the only one :)

I do the same thing and have for a long time. I used to think the same, is something bad heading my way. I still look at the clock at 9:11 all the time. Something did happen to me on 9/11/2007, my first son was born. So I do think there is something to it but I would get out of your mind that it will be something bad. Love your blog!
love your outfit girl!!
I know exactly what you mean about the 9:11 thing. That happened to me for a long time...could.not.figure.it.out.
Love your hair in these shots!
I think it has something to do with the number 11.
I just looked at your comment count.
one hundred.
and
ELEVEN.
Maybe you will have 11 kids??

my roommate always looks at the clock at 9:11 too! so far she hasn't had any freak accidents so it's probably ok.
I've heard it's the time you died in a previous life or the time you will die in the future... eek!
you know what? i had the same thing happen to me about a year ago, nothing really happened.. well something did, but i cant say that my clock showing 9:11 was warning me! I wouldnt worry..
Love the outfit!

I'm sure it means you'll get all the best things in life! Haha! I love this outfit and the glasses and your hair. Ok I'm done! :)
www.thesilverkickdiaries.com
My husband sees the exact same time!
Mine is 4:27 and it's been like that since...middle school. Strange. I agree, it has to mean something, right!!
ok first of all--you are ALL kinds of fantastic today. Quite honestly, a breath of fresh air. Your look is so unique and nothing that I've seen on anyone lately.
Second--I totally get you on the whole time thing. With me, sometimes I will just guess at any time of day what time it is and I'll be dead on--weird.
love your hair!

OKAY! finally someone understands! I kid you not almost every time it's 9:11 I look at the clock!! It scares me soo much!
I don't know if it's because I always look at the clock at 2:38, or I just notice it more when it's 2:38, but I do. And whenever it is, I will tell whomever is nearest (normally my husband) the time. I think of it more as a good luck number. :)
i have a knack for telling time by when i get finished with a subject in school. done with reading & history? must be 10:30. second lesson of math done? well, the day is gone. ;)
I think all of the United States see 9:11. everyday. At least I DO!!!!
You look lovely as ever! Girl, follow me on IG:) Pretty please with sugar on top?

HOW did you do your hair like that,
tutorial? pretty please
Who knows what it means! I like to think of that as just a coincidence!!
I see 2's constantly! It's either 2:22 (which I see at least once every day) or a license plate number, or whathave you (my employee number at work is even 222)
I then did some research and found out that my lifepath number is 2! I still don't know what it all means, but I feel ya is what I'm trying to get at!
simply lovely!

that is sooooo weird. Its 9:11 for me too!

Yes freaky weird but funny, need to get me some of that lipstick!
Looooooove the sunglasses!!

UHM! the hair. need to to this with mine... except i have excruciatingly thin hair.. so it probably wouldn't work.. BUT... i feel a tutorial coming on....
annnnnnnd as i wrote that i looked over to the side and your outfit pieces caption is at eye level with this comment box... found the hair tutorial.. bahaha :) maybe i should read a little harder ;)

I always look at the clock at 11:22 which also happens to be my husbands birthday! Its really weird. Subconsciously I must be thinking about him. :)
I have been DYING for that Hatch coat. It is so beautiful!
Present to me.
I love your hair today! I'm going to have to try that!
work-it-blog.blogspot.com
most people have this time thing. actually most people waking at night every night at the exact same time!
It feels weird but is totally natural.
It usually a good thing try and use this time for some time for yourself. a little yoga, meditation , a walk, a run or write something in your journal!
just discovered your blog, its beautiful.
I wake up (without an alarm) every morning at 6:43. I always look at the clock and it totally WEIRDS ME OUT!
Oh my gosh, ME TOO! I actually see the 9-11 combo a lot, it started with the clock but will see it in random places too. It freaks me out sometimes. Of course there's the association with the events of 9/11, and then a few years ago my divorce was finalized on 9/11 (why couldn't it be some random date that I could forget?). And for a couple of years now I have been seeing the 9-11 combo, one time I got a new credit card in the mail and the security number on the back was 911, but not anymore! It's very weird.
For the longest time, I was the same way. I saw the clock daily at 9:11. Sometimes in the morning, sometimes at night and it totally creeped me out! It doesn't happen as often anymore, but it's still weird!
P.S. I totally want to be able to wear red lipstick. I just haven't gotten the guts to get some yet! I want to make sure it's the right shade! Maybe soon! :)

about a year ago I had the EXACT same thing happen to me. every stinkin day..9:11am/9:11pm on.the.dot! It definitely weirded me out too.
I'm not joking you when I say I have that EXACT problem. I only ever look at the clock at 9:11am or pm. Sometimes...yep...it creeps me out a little. Actually a big bit. What does this all mean????
cute!

Hi Sydney, so I know that my comment is super late but I just recently found your blog and by the way I love it! I too have been seeing variations of the number 11 for years now. At first, I thought I was crazy so I googled this and realized that I'm not alone. Seeing the number 11 repeatedly is a great thing...actually like a spiritual awakening of sorts. It's like at that moment an angel has whispered in your ear for you to look at the time at that very moment to get your attention. 9:11 means to get started on your life's purpose without delay. 11:11 is the ultimate spiritual gateway. When you see it you should focus on your hopes, dreams and desires. At that time, the universe is open to receiving your thoughts thus making things come true. This might sound silly but I guess I choose to believe because what's the harm in believing?! Hope this helps you. You are blessed:)
Ok. I have never commented on a blog before. Ever. But I just read this and I am totally freaked out. For the past 5 years, both my husband and I have had the same 9:11 thing going on. Nearly every time one of us checks the clock or asks for the time, it's 9:11. What does it mean!!??
