GARBAGE


This morning I woke up with a heartache.  It was a tough one to shake.  With a magnetic field between me and my bed, I spent the morning at battle in my mind as to whether or not I would return to slumber.  "NO!"  I shouted (in my mind).  "That's not for me!"  

I swung open the front door and charged up the hill like a maniac, running from the bed that called after me.  I was wearing my husband's tube socks and the pajama pants that always ride up my, ahem, crack.  Did I care?  Not today.  I know that it's part of the entertainment industry to give off the perception that I am always beautiful and put together.  But this morning I must confess to you that that's a bunch of garbage.  I hope that heartaches, tube socks and wedgies will lessen the virtual gap between you and I.  And just so you know, I feel a little better now.

    I hate heartaches. They hurt. I hope your heart is happy soon.

    However, I have to disagree with one thing. I would imagine that even in tube socks and crack-riding pajamas, you are still beautiful.

    Thank you ladies. My sister Amy just gave me a few suggestions to beat the blues, one of which was to go to my next-door neighbors and ask if I could borrow just a small squirt of hemorrhoid cream. That got me laughing.

    I love Amy...she's so funny! And whatever, Mindy...you're always beautiful. Wedgies and all.

    wedgies love it! I so identify with all your running tidbits. I fight every morning to run up my hills.

    You are perfect in your imperfections.

    what a talent, to make others laugh when you are feeling low. I can't believe how many times I've left your blog laughing! I certainly think you are great.

    Birth at Home Mom: I would love to talk to you sometime about your naturalist views. What's the best way to get a hold of you? Glad I could make you laugh :-)
