I have no words for this one...
As quoted in Time magazine
Britiney Spears, complaining in Allure magazine about the responsibilities of family and step-children:
"I have to tell the maid to buy diapers and get the pool boy to walk the dog? Can't I just make out with Kevin all the time? Being married sucks."

I feel pretty!
Actually, I feel very very sick. But I look good! I am going through withdrawls from my anti-depressant. Out of money, no insurance. I weaned myself, but still having withdrawls.
So now Barbie can go jump in the lake! I am letting my hair down and lose today, I have a new little yellow skirt and white sleeveless blouse, no nylons, and my very high very sexy (in a professional kind of way) pumps. My daughter says I have legs like a model so fuck being comforatble. (how do I spell that anyway?) I have already had one proposition today: I think part of going throught these withdrawls is a tightning and tickling in my throat. I had a client in my reception area waiting and broke out in uncontrollable coughing. I had the water, cough drop, everything and nothing was helping. I excuse myself to go to the breakroom and get control. I come back and he offers me the heimlich maneuver. Unfortunately he looks more like Mr. Magoo than Brad Pitt, and I would not let him touch me with a ten foot pole, but it is an honor just to be nominated.

Barbie: A poem
My hair is frizzy
my face is fat
why does she
look like that?
This lady just walked in here and she is perfect. She obviously paid a lot for it. I am looking at her biceps - those take work- and she looks me in the eye and I smile and nod. WEll I know my fat face looks just awful, I have round cheeks anyway, so when I smile my eyes crinkle up nearly closed and my cheeks just get rounder. (I am totally comparing myself to her and losing big time). I try so hard to look professional! But I have this naturally curly hair and a "cute" style of face. Her hair is in a nice smooth ear length bob. I have a few suits but a lot of flowery skirts and pretty tops. My shoes are plain, I wanted to be comforatable. But I see these ladies with the new style of tiny narrow heel and very long pointed toes. They looked stupid in the store, but I see them at work and it kills me that mine are so dorky.
I am thinking she is just shallow, I am truly beautiful, in my own special way. Even my mom says I look pretty with make up on. She starts that sentence with the words, "Now I don't want you to get a big head, honey, but you look..." Thanks for the low self esteem mom.
I study this womans face some more. She is not a natural beauty, no more or less than me, but she has spent so much time and money on clothes, surgery, tanning, etc. that at first glance she does appear like a Barbie...

have flowers sent to my office
bring me flowers
(any time - day or night)
send me a card with flowers
tell me I am pretty as a flower
pick me flowers
give me seeds to grow my own flowers
ps
herbs and vegetables can be substitued as I love to garden
but don't tell me I look like a vegetable...
you get the idea.
Hey! I am a girl, if it looks pretty or sparkles, it's mine!

I am an ISFJ, smile when you say that.
Life as an ISFJ (Introvert, Sensor, Feeler, Judger)
People of this type tend to be: cautious, gentle, and thoughtful; hesitant until they know people well then affectionate and caring; very literal and aware of the physical world; uncompromising about personal standards and easily offended; diligent and conscientious, organized and decisive.
The most important thing to ISFJs is living a stable, predictable life and helping people in real ways.
How to Love an ISFJ :
Appreciate the many things (large and small) that I do to make my home a warm and comfortable place to live.
Appreciate my common sense, practical and steady approach to life.
Listen attentively and respectfully. Give me time to think about things before expecting me to respond.
Respect my need to spend time by myself, or to just be with you.
Be sensitive to, and don't force me to defend, my feelings.
Above all - Notice and acknowledge my hard work and commitment to my family's needs.
How to Spot ISFJs:
quiet, private and modest
hard working, conscientious and serious
gentle, thoughtful and sensitive
careful dressers with an eye for color and comfort
Tips for Communicating with ISFJs:
Speak clearly and slowly; respect their privacy
Be explicit and map out the steps and details of your ideas
Honor your commitments and be prompt and thoughtful

Girl and Father in Ohio need our support!
I am so freakin' angry about this, I can hardly contain it.
I have two aunts that are mentally handicapped and that only makes them more precious to our family. Our job has been to take care of them. I think I will go puke, this makes me so sick...

Confidence is Everything!
My little six year old daughter, Brandy, was cursed with her mothers slightly large and protruding ears. My head, thank God, finallly grew into them. Brandy and I have discussed how awesome and special her ears are. I think her teacher in kindergarten has also had this discussion with her. She truly believes God made her special. This is how I know:
The other night we were snuggling at bedtime and talking. Brandy says, "Mom, people have been saying really nice things about my ears." I reply, "Really? Like who? What did they say?" At this point I was worried, because they are big and they do stick out and people especially kids can be cruel. Brandy says, "Travis (he is the teenage boy that lives next door) said to me that I could fly anywhere with ears like that!" And my daughter was truly happy!! She took it as a compliment from a teenager that was actually picking on her. She giggled and grinned from ear to ear (no pun intended). I think this is one of the most awesome stories I ever heard! Maybe I am doing something right as a mother.

The Company Watercooler: A New Take
The company water cooler is known for it's reputation as a place to flirt with members of the opposite sex that you work with.
Get this:
I just started a new job in a newly renovated building. There is a water fountain in a corner between the mens and and womens restrooms. I bend over to take a sip, and right behind me ~ and I mean less than an inch of my butt ~ is the door to the mens bathroom. When they open the door to walk out, there is nothing they can do to stop from butt humping you.
I love my job!
I do not see a lot of men using this particular water fountain come to think of it...
Next week I am bringing my tape measure. I want the know the exact distance from the door way of the mens room to the edge of that water fountain.
