Blood Cooties (Warning, Not for Men)
| March 31, 2006 | Posted by thatgrrl under Uncategorized |
Posting something for the sake of posting something may not be a good plan today. I’m on Midol and I have blood cooties. I am not comfortable in my own skin today. At least the Midol (sometimes Pamprin, sometimes Tylenol’s grrlie byproduct, to be fair in an ecommerce way) gets rid of the massive crampage. When I was younger I would just lift something heavy and that would get rid of the cramps. That doesn’t work so well any more. No wonder women get menopause around their 40’s or 50’s. I can’t imagine what I would have to do for cramps into another ten years.
I first began taking the Midol and friends when I was on cash, standing for a six hour shift. That was death. I could feel the blood pouring out of me, I really thought I was going to pass out or just puke right there all over the counter. I left and went home a couple of times before I discovered the Midol wonder cure. I didn’t mind being slightly spaced out. Heck, on cash it was a treat to not entirely be there. Just let the body do the work, it knows how. The brain can wander off and think about how nice it feels not to be doubled over in pain, trying to squish the blood cooties out of me.
I was really peeved that the whole thing started a week early this time. I’ve never been regular but really, it’s nice to have some kind of timeline on the whole thing.
Anyway, I updated the blog. Not quite sunshine and light. But… it’s here.

I like cats. I miss having them around. Not that I kept them inside but each time I was outside I could rely on having at least one cat there to follow me as I worked or just walked around looking at the garden.
Here is a site for people who need a taste of cats and kittens.

The Morning Catch 22
| March 29, 2006 | Posted by thatgrrl under Uncategorized |
I realized this morning, if I sell my car I could afford to keep it. Here I’ve been worrying and trying to come up with a plan for paying the insurance, license sticker, emissions test (and possible repairs to pass the emissions test) but all along the solution was right on the driveway. I can sell the car! Problems solved!
Now, where will I put the sticker?
Great Things Happened Today.. Somewhere
So how do you like the great new template? I slaved my fingers to the bone on this keyboard coming up with this latest treasure in blog templates.
What do you mean you can’t see anything? Are you the Emperor? Do you need special glasses?
Well, ok… I didn’t quite do anything yet. I thought about it however. Don’t think I didn’t. It’s the thought that counts. If only I made a dollar for every thought, I’d be worried about hiding all that money from the government.
I am tired. Why don’t I just go to bed? I know why. Cause bed is an empty wasteland. Sleeping is boring. Sex is becoming a bit too predictable when I’m the only one here. I’m beginning to tell myself I have a headache so I will just back off and leave me alone tonight.
Oh well. Good night. I’ll feel kind of stupid if I wake up here in a few hours. Not to mention the keyboard impression I’d be wearing all day.
Aren’t I Just Too Adorable?

The Sonnet
Deliberate Gentle Love DreamerRomantic, hopeful, and composed. You are the Sonnet. Get it? Composed?
Sonnets want Love and have high ideals about it. They’re conscientious people, caring & careful. You yourself have deep convictions, and you devote a lot of thought to romance and what it should be. This will frighten away most potential mates, but that’s okay, because you’re very choosy with your affections anyway. You’d absolutely refuse to date someone dumber than you, for instance.
Lovers who share your idealized perspective, or who are at least willing to totally throw themselves into a relationship, will be very, very happy with you. And you with them. You’re already selfless and compassionate, and with the right partner, there’s no doubt you can be sensual, even adventurously so.
You probably have lots of female friends, and they have a special soft spot for you. Babies do, too, at the tippy-top of their baby skulls.

Would you wear these shoes? Maybe you have to be under 30, but I do like them. I’m not sure I’d wear them. Maybe I’m just taking myself too seriously.

Some of them are pretty, way too expensive and fashion focused for me though. It was nicel looking. The pictures give me ideas for sewing my own new purse, with a little ingenuity.

I will do the template here. Eventually. I don’t actually mind the minimal thing now, it’s starting to grow on me. I’m not fond of the blue however. I really only like blue when it’s that blue and white dresden pattern. I think dresden is what I’m thinking.
If I could do whatever I wanted today it would be a ROAD TRIP day. I feel so bland and the weather is clouding over. Which is fine, I like a good storm and rain. I like being out there in them, feeling the wind and rain on me.
The idiot starlings are back. You may call them grackle, or some other bird name. Everyone seems to think of them as something else. They are like small crows, only the real crows would kick their butt, I hope. I don’t like the starlings. They are greedy, bossy and extremely territorial, on MY territory. Don’t they know they’re birds, I live here – not them. When they get to the egg hatching phase they will chase me each time I dare to go out of the house. They dive bomb my head 2 or 3 times while I make a jog for the car in the driveway. I loathe them as I loathe few of the animal kingdom.
I want to take a large sized badminton racket and whack them with it, take that birdie! I want to carry a big vacuum hose and suck them up, that would surprise them in mid dive. Damned birds. I’d much rather have the crows, they have dignity and wouldn’t be caught with their nest any where near a human house. I wonder if I could coax them into becoming trained attack birds, on the hunt for starlings. Rip their feathers off! Drastic.. maybe, but you haven’t had starlings attacking you every Spring for the last 3 years.
Don’t Feed the Animals, Stupid Girls

I always have a hard time deciphering song lyrics. I’ve heard Stupid Girls at least fifty times by now and still wondered just what the song was about. I had the gist of it so I didn’t dwell on it. But, Skye has a link to the lyrics in her blog post so I went to look.
I’m so glad that I’ll never fit in
That will never be me
Outcasts and girls with ambition
That’s what I wanna see
This was part of it. But the song is about what I have been thinking for years now, men are so shallow and only want the girls who fit into a size 4 and are stacked, blonde or beautiful in general. It is so stupid cause then women try to become that. Why?
I don’t have an interest in make up and clothes. I like a pink sweater, a red jacket, a smooth, silky nightie, but those are things I like. I don’t dress to look girlly and frilly. I wear what I like, what is comfortable and makes me feel happy and good about myself. I wonder how much money is spent on “beauty”. All that excess packaging for make up, filling dumps all over the world. All those shoes, clothes and accessories, what do any of them matter? Instead you could have bought books, taken a trip to another country or saved up and bought yourself a new car. What does another pair of uncomfortable shoes you look forward to taking off when you get home, really do for you? All that stuff is a trap, a rut women step into. It makes you feel pretty… but a woman can be pretty without covering her face with processed oil or spending most of her pay cheque to fill her closet.
As a woman, why she is getting breast implants. Some say it’s to boost their self esteem, but really…. you keep your esteem in your boobs? What if you get breast cancer, will you go into a depression cause you lost all your esteem to cancer? What about as you get older and your boobs sag, more? I’m 40 and they aren’t hanging the way they used to. I’m not all wrapped up in my own cleavage though. In those 40 years I found other things to like about myself. Try that sometime.
What are big boobs for? Babies don’t need D cups to suck on. Women don’t need D cups to haul around, it’s not good for us or our posture. But men think they are just great to see bouncing about and great to squeeze. So, who are the bigger boobs for, really.
I hate that women get breast implants. It is so backwards. It makes women more like robots and less like people. Stupid girls. Maybe he will call you back. But, do you really want him? After all, he doesn’t really want you, just your beauty, your big boobs, and so on. He doesn’t know you and he doesn’t seem to miss you. Don’t you want a whole lot more than that?
Don’t feed the animals.

How You Life Your Life |
 You are honest and direct. You tell it like it is. You tend to avoid confrontation and stay away from sticky situations. You prefer a variety of friends and tend to change friends quickly. Some of your past dreams have disappointed you, but you don’t let it get you down. |
