The whole republican party is a joke to me. I really have not been paying that much attention but I do know that Donald Trump is not real life. He is going to be NO ONE's president and this is a distraction from something else. And then that idiot Sarah Pallin ( I saw on someones page) goes on to say she would be a good energy secretary but that she would let the states decide what they do with the natural resources. AND THEN Huckabee and Ted Cruz are just as big idiots supports that woman in Kentucky who decided to not give marriage licenses to gay couple because it is not God's will. I don't know what God she serves but clearly it aint he one I do. Not to mention it's the freaking law and that is your job so if you really feel that way, get another job!! It really would be interesting if she would have gotten the same 'support' if she was black or another religion.
I've said it before and I'll probably KEEP saying it. Teeth are important. If you smoke or do drugs or just don't do whatever it is that you need to do to keep your teeth and that leads to you losing your teeth, go buy you some!! It is 2015. My grandfather back in the 80's lost every single tooth in his
head but he went out and bought him some!! Same with my Aunt Lilly... she bought her some! Sometimes alls you need is a few teeth... so go out and get you a partial plate. Alls I'm saying is there is no good reason unless you are like allergic to the plastic or something drastic like that, that you should smile and not have no damn teeth. AND THEN even though you aint got no teeth, how is that you pull men/women?!?! **SMH** i just don't get it and I need for someone to splain it to me like I'm a 4 year old.
A few people have really disappointed me lately but then I have to take a step back and refer to my old standby, The Four Agreements. This little bit of literary genius is in my bathroom so I've been doing a little reading when I... uhhh... GO!! The main one i go to is 'Don't take anything personal' and i do try but that doesn't always alleviate the hurt feelings that as a human being I feel when someone let's me down or when I expect more from you. But that's MY expectation and you a grown ass adult just like me you should do you boo boo... just like I am so hard trying to do me.
Moscato is a real wine and it's okay for everyone to like it but me. I just got a bottle in my $99 box-o-wine and I am already making plans to give it away. It might actually be good but I will probably never know.
I need for the people to finish all the lines at the McDonough and Painters Mills intersection because mofos can barely drive as it is so WHY should I expect them to see the little lines drawn in? I find myself doing a whole lot of extra cursing at this stupid intersection like WHY THE FUCK DID YOU JUST MAKE A NEW LANE?!?!? Can't you see the fucking lines like I just saw them? WHY are you getting from behind me to make a new lane?!?! Oncoming traffic I know be saying the same thing.
About a week ago I went into my downtown Woodlawn braiding shop, ask the owner's sister if I could come back the next day at 4:30, she says no come at 4 cause a 1/2 hour makes a difference so that's what I do. I rush home, pick out my hair, blow dry it to make it a little straighter and go into the the shop. There are 3 braiders, 1 of whom is the owners sister who says to me, can I help you like she never ever ever saw me in her whole entire life. I was like YEAH I came in yesterday, remember? **blank stare** You told me to come in at 4. **more blank staring** UUuuuhhh so can you braid my hair or what?!?! At this point I'm thinking is she kidding, serious, or am I on punk'd?!?!? Cause I can carry myself and my freshly washed hair to the place up at Security and they won't give me no grief... WELL yes they will because ALL African braiding shops give EVERY black woman and child grief about something or another. SO I sit down and let her calculate time, money and effort cause I can see it on her face. She calls another braider but somehow I missed that step. So after about 20 minutes, it's now close to 4:30 to original time I said I could come in but SHE insisted I come in at 4 which I did so she gets hair and asks me what color I want. ALTHOUGH in retrospect if I had come at 4:30 she would said something stupid like come back tomorrow so yeah... 4PM
I almost cringe when folks ask how my mom is. I know I probably scared my co-worker today. I had the good fortune to call at the exact moment the doctor was in the front office and she answered a few of my questions and is going to refill my mom's prescription. She then says I'm putting her on hold to her assistant and then like lays the phone down and I can hear everything. Thank LBJ nothing real personal was said because that would have been several HIPAA (or HIPPA?) violations. I say hello HELLO CAN YOU HEAR ME?!?!? My co-worker comes over and says OH not to put any pressure on you BUT I NEED THIS TODAY!! I'm like ok let me look AND then she says Oh I'm sorry are you on the phone? I said yes but they have me on hold **air quotes** and I need to ask something about my mom. And then she says well is your mom ok? I say oh not at all!! People expect you to say everything is fine, and most of the time I indulge them because who wants to go into and even hear the gory details? Her face was like OH LAWD I'M SORRY I ASKED but then also, Well what is the problem? People want to know but not really. I don't take for granted the time I have with my mother. Both of my grandmothers lost their mothers at a very young age and I know it has to be hard to not have your mother around. But this woman is not the same woman I grew up with. The fearless do everything woman is now the afraid of the slightest touch and just leave me alone woman and it's hard some days.
Here's something funny/ridiculous... my evil neighbor (well her daughter and the band of thugs she runs with... thug is an accurate term here) has set up a used car lot in her yard. I am so tempted to call the county and be like Can someone please come out and look at this shit?!?!? My lawn dude and my handyman (oh yeah I had to replace my hot water tank... thank LBJ I could afford to do so) were both like, you KNOW that is illegal and you should call the county?!?!? I just want to see how long before it is closed down. My thought is that is really isn't a used car 'lot' but a holding place which I guess is still just as illegal. One day I saw one of them fixing one of the cars in front of my house. I stood there and looked at him until he saw me (bra-less with a scarf on... a sight I'm sure). I am that neighbor who will stand in her front door to see what's going on; that is the Ethel in me ( my dad's mom with her nebby self. GOD I miss her :) He got himself together real quick and the car was moved. I was also the neighbor who was hoping they lost their house when the whole housing crash was happening. I'm neither proud nor ashamed, but it would have been GREAT to have new and better neighbors. I know it could be much worse. But so that's that. Oh yes this is the 'tree' neighbor, which that fallen tree is still lying right where God made it fall.
You ever wear something and then remember WHY you don't wear it often? I have this cute little green and white print dress, which on the hanger it is the perfect summer dress. BUT ON, oh it's a disaster. I have boobs, big ones I should say. This dress has this little elastic... not elastic maybe gathered material that should hit the normal sized boobed woman right at her waist. Well it hit me not even below the boobs. SO I had to constantly pull down and check for correct dress distribution. And then I put a slip on even though Oprah said back in the 90's we don't need to wear slips, but with this dress I totally did need to. I was walking into work and the slip was hanging down almost to my ankles (ok not really LOL). It was just a mess and it has a lower than what I normally wear back so my braids kept hitting my back so now they are all up in a ponytail. The official end to summer was this past weekend so it can get tucked away only to be pulled out next year with, unless I lose like 500 lbs, will have the same results.
I'm convinced my sickly cubemate co-worker got me sick! She was coughing up both lungs last week and now I have a stopped up nose and a cough. It took a lot for me to not call out today because I need my paycheck to not look as minimal as it had been. speaking of which I need to put some kleenex in my bag.
I worked a 70+ year old birthday party this past weekend and insisted on taking the ice for the cookout that was supposed to happen on Monday that never did. Now I have a cooler full of 4 bags with water LOL
