Anticipation

Hey hey hey! So a short time ago, I wrote a post about preconceived notions and assumptions. Yeah yeah, we all have been guilty of them a time or dozen. Annnnd most of the time, they are wrong. Sometimes, they can even be put under the heading of a negative stereotype. But what about those times when your assumptions, what you thought end up surprising you? I'm talking about those times where they catch you completely off guard...Can't think of a time? Alright then...

Fellas, you're minding your own business - trying to find the toilet paper at the supermarket, giving up, you go over to the service desk. Why? Maybe you're hoping they will have a stash of a couple rolls they can sell you. So you go over and there's this beautiful lady standing there. Golden brown hair, shapely,  standing about 5'7" (ooh aren't you a connoisseur, lol). You're like yeah, I'm shooting my shot. You go up and you get ready to launch into your spiel and you notice two things right away. #1 she's got the most gorgeous hazel eyes you've ever seen. Just when you can manage to tear your gaze away you notice #2 she's not wearing a N95 mask and the reason you notice, she's got a full beard and mustache. But her name tag reads "Jennifer"... So while you approve her choices whatever they may be, you decide against asking for her number...


Ladies, you've accepted a date from a super handsome gentleman you met online. Tonight is date night. He's walking towards you (you're extra so you got to the restaurant first) He's 6'5, muscular/solidly built 250ish, groomed beard, beautiful eyes. That suit he's wearing ooohwee, fits him perfectly. He gets to the table and you stand to greet him and catch the whiff of the sexiest smelling cologne you've ever smelled (JPG??) And then he smiles and you're like aww hell naw...I'm in love. Look at his beautiful smile! You can't wait to hear his deep sultry voice and then "Hello, I'm Shawn..." And the super high pitched voice that emitted from the full lips of this demigod could have been from the throat of 5 year old little girl. Hmmm wonder how that convo over dinner is going to go?

Work It

I found an old photo of me from many moons ago. I'm talking acid washed jeans, big glasses, big hair - the whole 9 yards. It's just a casual shot - me and a friend chilling on the couch (uh, no I don't plan to post it LOL) - but it got me thinking about yester-year or days of old (sheesh, that sounds kinda knightly)...You know, those days when your biggest worries included "are the quarter pounder combos on sale this week? Is HE going to ask me out? For Prom??" (HE didn't but I went to prom anyway and had a BLAST!) This is also about the time I got my first taste of adulthood - A JOB! A real one! Like actually doing things for someone other than my parents and grandparents in order to maintain my allowance (yes, I was one of those kids). Employee ID, Clock-In/Out, an actual check - shoot couldn't tell me nothing. I was a working WOMAN after all (okay so a working TEEN but still, LOL)  Guess where I worked? No, go ahead I'll wait... Time's u...

You Don't Have To be so mean

Someone asked me the other day " hey, don't you ever get tired of being so happy and positive all the time? How can you be so NICE?" I was thrown! Ok maybe not completely since I've heard a little about this before. "You always have a smile on your face...you're so happy...you're so NICE to EVERYBODY...I really like talking to you...thank you for being so kind...-it's rare" Even though I've heard these comments before, it still surprises me a little. Not that people think I'm nice but that so many people experience the opposite - often enough that they are shocked enough to comment. Makes you, ok me, wonder why are so many people not nice? Just plain old mean? How do they get that way? Can't make me believe that people are born that way...hmm course i have a seen pictures of newborn babies with some pretty mean mugs. Looking like they've been here before and experienced all the atrocities of life ALREADY!  But really - why?  ...

Very Superstitious

Do you think black cats portend bad tidings? Are you triskaidekaphobic (fear of the number 13)? Growing up, I used to hear all sorts of things that were supposedly bad luck or could bring on something that you'd rather not, well, bring on. There was the one about walking under a ladder...or how many of you remember that little ditty about stepping on a crack and breaking your Mama's back? Yeah? I thought you might LOL  I asked a few people about any superstitions that they may have heard/been told. Not all of them are omens of doom and gloom. Some are kinda funny and some you might even want to have happen. Like this first one: If palm of your left hand is itching, you're going to receive some money.       Okay, that's a superstition that I can deal with. Now don't go rubbing your left hand on poison ivy to make your palm itchy to get money. The only thing you're going to do is end up with itchy palms that will spread and have you bathing in oatmeal and ch...
