I always feel so thoroughly violated when I go the ob/gyn. It really helps that I go to a midwife who I have been seeing since 1996 so she knows me and I know her and it really is all good EXCEPT when she gets to poking and prodding. I suspect that most women feel the same way but it's such a necessary step in our overall health. One thing she said in regard to the size of the speculum she used on me was that 'tall women like you'... I thought OH YEAH I AM a tall chick and she knows!!! That was all the validation I needed. I've been calling myself a tall chick for a real long time and now the midwife concurs!!
This blog is gonna be all over the place because sometimes I want to say things to folks but I know it's better not to. So here goes...
What I've learned in Hampden - 1) MEGGINS!!! this is where I saw the young man with the zig zag man leggings and whose hair was also braided... he was a white guy so everything was a little extra about him. 2) you can buy shorts already cut off with stars and stripes on the pockets the show through ala Britney Spears. I don't why this senior citizen woman had them on as she went into the sebenelben (figure it out) but she totally did and that's what I learned in Hampden.
I wore these platform sandals that made me look like an Amazon (you know cause I already am a tall chick) to church this week. My biggest fear is that I am going to fall either walking down or up the aisle during offering. This week I was particularly self conscious because of my big ass shoes! So I didn't fall but I did drop my envelope. I picked it up quickly THANKFULLY my dress was long enough but I think if I had fallen I would have just laid there and let them throw one of those white modesty cloths on me until the end of service!! I am pre-embarrassed for when it hopefully doesn't happen.
This political ads are the worse. You never really know who to vote for based on the attack ads, so I will be happy when this season is over. I got a call the other day asking if I was going to vote for Anthony Brown who is the current LT Governor. I told the little boy (because he sounded young) that I honestly didn't know. I have a friend who posts pretty much everything Heather Mizuer puts on facebook, so I know who she is for. And Dough Gansler, I just don't know. They all sound like idiots but I guess I have to do my civic duty so we'll see. There is an ad for state's attorney general Greg Bernstein who since I don't live in the city this is not something I can vote for but he has looked like a crook to me. He, or his team, has this ad of 'regular folk' saying how good of a job he has done. EVERYTIME I see it I want both the black chick and the white chick to tighten up their weaves and put a little lipstick on. When I see fresh faced people on TV on there on purpose I always think, you did know they were gonna put you on TV right!??! I'm not saying you have to have a beat face but a lil lipstick and mascara aint never hurt no one!! Well you know except the folks who are allergic.
Speaking of beat faces, I swear I be doing something with my lil make-up until I see someone WHO really knows what the heck they doing. And then I have to reassess my skill!
I just did a quick break to look up Lil Kim plastic surgery and her new baby. I don't know why but that's how random I be sometimes!!
I need to get a shredder. I'm not sure why Capital One wants to give me a credit card so bad when I have been doing just fine without any major cards for years now! In fact I only really have my little Kohl's card (and I DO mean little since they have decreased my limit to $100), My Avenue card which I haven't used in years, and Care Credit (they too reduced me, but I need this one cause dental work is expensive and I just got my Obama Care!!).
I have a feeling if I go upstairs the FedEx dude is going to come to deliver my wine, and the roommate may not hear the door cause she will be taking one of her multiple naps and I will be pissed because I have been home and he will slap a notice on my door too quick. Oh yeah I'm home because my contract ended last month and even though I had a phone interview I have not gotten another job. I really do need a break! It's a lot of everything and I need a minute to chill. Last week I did stuff pretty much everyday and I was tired most days. It was a good week but I didn't really enjoy it like I wanted to. Yesterday I was committed to not doing anything. I had a bit of a sinus headache that was determined to not go away but it finally did. My goal in general is to clean my house. I am a serial pile maker. I make a pile for things that need to get filed, a pile for things that need immediate attention, a pile for stuff I just can't throw away right this second MAYBE next week but not today, and just piles and piles of STUFF!! I have gotten rid of most of the paper but even as I look down now I have a pile that needs shredding, a tax pile, and a pile of CD's. I bought a shoe bench thing to be able to take my shoes on and off when I enter my house and on top of that is the pile of magazines that I haven't gotten around to reading. Piles of shoes are in the cubby holes. I'm thinking about how I need to go clean my bathroom that has a massive amount of product (don't even get me started). I have made some progress in the kitchen and I have about 3 big black bags of trash waiting to be pulled to the curb. I know what have to do so thanks in advance for any suggestions. I saw a blog where they said 'fake clean' which meant put everything in a basket until you get a chance to go through it. The problem with that is you NEVER get a chance and stuff gets missed so that's good for temporary measures but I honestly have piles from last year when the lady came to help me organize my life and now I'm getting stressed out just thinking about those piles **sigh**. I joked on FB that I needed Zoila from Devious Maids to come clean my house but I can't even hire someone until I get it to a point where someone can actually clean. I am about to attack the pile of paper on the floor before Paisley my cat decides that is the exact spot she needs to lay. She always seems a little pissed when I shoe her away and she always decides the moment I need to go through it. And then the roommate will see the pile and then decide she needs to step right on it... REALLY LADY?!?! We have been doing well! I been trying not to disturb her routine to much and at the same time not get so used to just sleeping the day away because that can be so easy sometimes.
So yeah that's what's going on with me!
