Going through old files from graduate school, I found an invaluable pamphlet. Be a Dedicated Neurotic Remember the Past. . . and Regret it. Abhor the Present. Dread the Future. 1. Become preoccupied with the body, and make a long list of symptoms. Make them sound very clinical and professional... 2. BLAME your boss, your spouse, your partner, your neighbor, your kid. THEY are responsible for your miseries. 3. Feel trapped. You couldn't possibly declare your own independence without hurting someone's feelings. 4. Overeat. Rationalize and eat! Eat an insulated wall around yourself. Diet for a few days and say it doesn't work for you. 5. Self-pity. No matter what, feel sorry for yourself. Agonize over things about which no one cares. 6. Don't ever try. That way nobody can really accuse you of failure. You can always say, "But I could have done it." 7. Stress how shy you are. Insist that the world must come to you. You're special. 8. Your agg...
If I loved you more, my heart would explode. (Messy.)
ReplyDeleteWho noticed first, you or someone else?
ReplyDeleteI'm always afraid I will go out wearing two completely different shoes, like one flat and one high heel.
ReplyDeleteI actually did this once also. I had 2 pairs of heels that were the same only one was black and the other navy blue. I didn't notice until we were at a fancy dress up dinner at the fancy hotel. I tried to keep my feet under the table the whole time and then run to the car afterwards. I feel your pain.
ReplyDeleteMy MIL used to do this all the time! Of course she had dementia. What's your excuse? Hahaha
ReplyDeleteI don't understand how that is even possible. I can even tell if my two matching socks have been through the was a different number of times.
ReplyDeleteI meant "wash"
ReplyDeletehee hee you cutie!!!
ReplyDeleteYa know...just look at the upside. At least you HAVE two pairs of shoes to pick from right?? I mean some people don't even have shoes...I'm not making things better am I?
ReplyDeleteHave you been losing weight?
Next time someone says to walk a mile in their shoes, they mean wear them both.
