Dress-Up, Dress-down, Just Wear One.

So I decided to wear a dress today, and always, always you get the question "why are you dressed up today?" And I couldn't help but giggle inside, because really, I was more comfortable than an over-sized man sitting in a recliner. So I decided to put together a list, of why dresses are sometimes better than jeans.


Top 10 Reasons Why Dresses Are Sometimes Better than Jeans

10. You can ballet plie' so much easier
9. No elastic waistbands!
8. When you run, you feel like you're a victim in a thriller movie, just because you never plan on running in a dress.
7. You can trick people into thinking your pregnant by pushing your shoulders forward, puffing your stomach out, rubbing your belly, and walking on your feet like you just walked the Revlon for Cancer Walkathan. Fishing for compliments wearing makeup and heels is trite and overused I must say! Now fishing for observations, that's technique.
6. You can go bra-less and not look like a ho! Fuck you, not my fault this dress has awkward fitting criss-cross-halter-like-spaghetti straps!
5. No pockets! Wearing cargo pants is like an open invitation to hold random people's chap-sticks. No excuse this time! Looks like you're going to have to hold it, maybe then you'll remember how chaffed your lips really are, and quench your lips that are screaming "i'm thirsssty, rub that stick of wax on meh".
4. If you sit indian style, tuck your dress under your feet, you look like you're in a sleeping bag pouch. (If it's long enough)
3. Going to the grocery store wearing pants is a chore, going to the grocery store in a dress is productive!
2. Taking time to plan what pants you want to wear is time consuming enough, let alone worrying about what shirt to wear! With a dress, it's all-in-one! Why do you think parents love onesies so much? Minus the snaps of course!
1. They just are

Flight Write

Options of self occupying of five hours: voyaging the internet, taking advantage of the WiFi on an airplane- ... just because I can or... taking the five hours all to myself indulging in uncompleted projects? Final decision? Alternating between reading a non-fiction, and staring out the window to let my mind wander, of course!

Say you spilled ketchup on your favorite pair of pants- what would you think to yourself? Thought number one: Ughhh ketchup of course you would have to smother the fabric of my one and only favorite pair of jeans! Or, option number two: Whoops, at-least it wasn't bleach! Chances are, you wouldn't think either of those two, but what I'm trying to get at, by lollydallying around with words: do you look at the glass half empty- or half full?

Oh really? Yes, really! Throughout the past few years, realizing how your outlook on one simple thought "like vs. dislike", can really, well- change your life. Looking at things, people, places, events, ect- with a dislike vibe, is a scarcity mentality. We look at those things, in terms of what it lacks. Why do we invest our energy on the lacks instead of snacks? Are you a victim of the "only me" syndrome? "If only I had..."? That is what type of energy you are admitting to the universe- and that is what you will get back. Expecting to find happiness, by things "going right"- is only temporary. You are the person who decides is things are "going right" and you are the person who decides what is "right".

Think about everything we have- water, the sun, the blue sky... a spiral notebook. Give thanks. Send love, and it will return. Have you ever felt like you failed at something? What were you focusing on? What you did WRONG! Failure does not exist, but only opportunity to learn, and better yourself. Lastly, believe that whatever it is, that you desire, believe that you already have it, us humans are "more more more" machines, good and bad- good- it drives us; however, bad because we will always, always- ALWAYS want more more and more- where is the authentic happiness if we're always striving, and never arriving? Proof: remember when you were a kid, watching Saturday morning cartoons- and you witnessed a colorful, vivid, and enchanting commercial that some marketing major devised with every intention of getting an "I want that" response from every one in the age group the commercial was pitched to? Perhaps, that toy went on your holiday wish list, or birthday list, and if you were born after 95'- I'm assuming there is a Toys R' Us gift registry it went on. You would dream about the toy, picture it sitting in your bedroom with the access of holding it in your own very two hands. You finally get the toy, play with it- and then- you're done with it. Well- small or large items on your adult wish-list will have the same effect, unless if you really start to appreciate what we have without it.

If we stop focusing on what we don't have, and appreciate the things that have entered our lives, we are on a path of growth and fulfillment.

We're Not Talking About Vin Diseal Here....

ICANN the non profit corporation that coordinates internet naming systems such as .com, .net., .edu, ect- approved an internet domain ending for the porn websites. They really have to invest in a high tech virus scanner, as they're worried the website will be hacked and convert children's websites such as Disney.com to Disney.xxx. 110,000 websites are already pre-registered, the head of one company who will remain disclosed, quoted, "yeah yesterday was full of registrations, after I pre-registered my company for the .xxx domain name, I pre-registered my daughter for her ballet class". The changes should take place in 2011, online. They tried doing the switch forty years ago; however, no one knew what the internet was. They would change the .com to .xxx, as a way of easy filtering, so if you find your favorite website doesn't exist anymore, simply just change the .com to .xxx.

Neglected Passages

Yuck. Four months just blew by without writing here, somebody hand me some AquaNet, to get an extra strong hold on some self-discipline. We could all use some of that, right?
What is going on with writer's block, and a fear of writing, what in the world. Well, bad writing, is just plain bad writing, but it does not define how you are as a writer. You see the gold is there, you just have to dig for it. So here I am, a little leprechaun on a voyage for my own pot-of-gold. There would be no value to the gold if it was sitting right above ground, on a platform, with a gigantic arrow in neon lights floating right above, pointing to it. Point being, sucky writing, or sucky anything, is all apart of the process of getting what you want,

I guess we can say we always want more, more, and more- but we don't want to go through the obstacles of getting it, why? A fear barrier, perhaps, so we would rather not do anything at all, to prevent from failing. Well, wake up- failing is great. And there is no such thing as failing, but only opportunity.

Vitamins for the Mind- Another Quote

Dissecting Topics... Today's Topic is... Coffee!

COFFEE

Some people can't have a normal day without it. I can't function without it: "Don't talk to me I, haven't had my my.... oh man am I tired, what was I gonna say? Oh yeah, I haven't had my coffee yet". Last night it was my Ambien.

There's this type of coffee called "instant" coffee, we want everything instant- if I never had instant coffee, I would be a little disappointed when I found out you have to wait for the water to boil. How dare they lie, now if they would have called it "almost instant" coffee, I wouldn't care. But instant is such a demanding word. "Good morning, I need coffee instantly!" Immediately." No exaggeration with that one.

I feel they should call it desperate coffee "I need caffeine, don't have a coffee maker, give me my instant and hot tap water". Yes, desperate I was.

Always regretful when you drink too much coffee by accident. You can't go back. Especially if you have to get up early. "Tomorrow's going to be a long day, well there's always coffee!"

Coffee can be different flavors now, and I mean real different- " I need a caffeine kick and am craving KFC, oh perfect- I'll take the corn flavored coffee. Oh wait, you have dandelion, nah you know what? I'll have the french fry flavor coffee. I hope your to go bags are durable enough to double as a barf bag.

(What's hard) When you grab a cup of coffee togo, and you're running errands- some stores won't allow you in until you finish it. "You can't come in unless you finish that coffee" Their security is tighter on coffee policy's, meanwhile stolen merchandise is just breezing out the door. There's a decoy idea for you.

Not fond of when you buy a cup of coffee, and they won't let you fix it yourself. No matter how many times, I say "just a drop". I get a cup equivalent of a dairy farm. "How would you like your coffee miss?" "Oh I'll do it" "We can't do that ma'am" You can't do many things, such as customer service.

I hate when you goto a coffee shop, just want to relax and read the news paper while sipping on your over priced beverage, and you discover the coffee shop has turned into a library. Teenagers having environmental science meetings, people reading chapter books being read from Chapter 1 to finish. Waiting to snatch a table as with five other people is not a good situation for an unaggressive person like myself, and the coffee shop is certainly one place I do not want competition.

Now you would think the empire of coffee you know the place with the Medusa looking girl with the stars over her head logo- no not Seattle's Best, I'm talking about every single US and beyond metro area's best- don't you think they could be a little more generous with the bathrooms. A business once soly based on selling liquids- always seems to have just one bathroom. Maybe throw in an extra one- one that's not unisex.

I never understood when people said "I can make a mean pot of coffee" oh you mean, you know how to read directions? I didn't know I qualified then for praise. Good to know. Or are you saying you take vacations to Kenya, pick your own special coffee beans, and smash it up with your own method? Do let me know, as I will be very impressed with either or.

Sugar Rush

Uncle Ernie, so glad to hear you're following your diet... you diabetic!!

Being with someone who's stubborn and a type 2 diabetic is always a fun time at the grocery store. It's like shopping in a toy store with a kid (except a deli is involved).
"Put down the cake, no- no you're not getting the cake!! Okay, okay.... only if you promise- after dinner, you will shoot up. Your insulin, of course."

When you buy a dessert with a diabetic in the household, you need to place it in a secretive spot, almost like child-proofing the medicine from your home, storing desserts in a place diabetics can't reach; therefore, I made a list of tips on diabetic-proofing your kitchen:

* If you eat a dessert, do not eat in front of a diabetic. Diabetics love to mimic what they can't have.
* Dispose all desserts properly, not in the garbage openly, desperation causes drastic measures.
* And finally securing the cabinet with a lock, no not for them but for my emotional eating issues.


I wonder if bitter spouses use their wifes' or husband's diabetes to their advantage? I mean, I'm sure they understand the concept of a diabetic coma. "What's that Mabel? You want your husband's life insurance money?" ---- Just remember, Mabel, only fifteen peach pies, till you reach the prize!
