It’s Just Me

Our first week of summer vacation was pretty decent… we didn’t do anything so to speak. We had no plans other than one ortho appt. Our house guest is fitting in, possibly a little too well for some of us (me). He and my son have spent just about every evening together, minus one because of the movie the older boys were watching. My son then HAD to hang out with me in the other room… poor poor boy.

I found what I thought to be a very funny post today. VH1’s Best Week Ever with their post 50 Best Pun Stores. I must confess my 12 year old self laughed the most at this one. Which one did you laugh the most at? I also loved this post at The Consumerist, America’s Most Unhealthy Drinks.

There is this website I visit… well it is more of a blog I guess. The writer believes a woman should never leave the house without make-up. A woman should wear (painful) spandex undergarments to conceal her “Mommy body” or another term I just learned “Empty Baby house” gag. A woman should do her best to look good for her man. She shouldn’t wear tshirts, white pants or white shoes. A woman should wear slacks not jeans. The list goes on… I think of myself to be fairly old fashioned but I just don’t know about all that.

I don’t feel like everyone should wear make-up every time they leave the house. Men don’t wear anything to alter or improve their face like make-up (well, sorry but REAL men don’t) so why as women should we be expected to? I don’t wear mascara but once or twice a year, I do wear eye liner and try to remember the lip gloss but for the most part I feel comfortable without any make-up.

I also wear white pants and purple ones too. I don’t own high heel shoes. I don’t carry make-up with me other than chap stick, does that count? I own tshirts that I think are totally cute and not in the least bit sloppy. I also wear white shoes after labor day… well except I don’t have any but I’ve been looking for a cute pair for eons. Does this make me sloppy, lazy or frumpy or worse yet… do I look like a MOM? GASP!

Does looking like a Mom suddenly mean I am less attractive or less appealing? I don’t think so. There are plenty of days I leave my house without a stitch of make-up on, in my jeans or worse yet, my velour black pants and a tshirt with some smart-assed saying on it or even a polo (the first sign of a mommy uniform) and feel like one sexy Mom lady. There are also a few days when I leave the house feeling uncomfortable in my fancy pants with my itchy eyes and over-done hair sticking to my lipstick… yeah don’t I feel sexy? Not.

Funny…. I didn’t mean to go there. But I did and now I’m done.

I have got to get out of here. We need to do something different. I need to do something different.

I posted some freebies on MrsGroovy.com. I think I’ll try to post some daily or as much as I can find them.

I saw something on another website that was trying to prove there were just hearing aid batteries in a regular Double A battery. They proved it wasn’t so on snopes. So this could also be true of this as well. Someone might just have to cut one open to find out.
