Picture it, the scene from "Jurrassic Park", when the water starts to move in the water glass...THUD, THUD, louder, and closer, THUD, THUD...I turn, not sure about what is coming up behind me...
Cut--music from "Psycho" shower scene....
OMG! WTF?! ripples of blubber, and globules of gelatinous cellulite, mixed with rolls of of fat tissue, covered with green and blue hues. Not sure if this is a strange sort of "Elephant Man" skin disease...what....it comes closer...THUD, THUD, OMG....those strange skin discolorations are tattoos, of butterflies, flittering around, in the gelatinous cellulite.
Cut to me trying to keep the bile rising in my throat...
Okay....now, you are "sharing". I am not sure writing portrays the true horror.
Gotcha. About like doing CPR on a bariatric patient.
Oh I finally figured out how to put a stop to that nonsense.
I just pull out the wrong power tool and say "honey, is this what I'd use to fix that???"
That usually gets him moving.
We have been talking about painting our bedroom for the longest time. I have color chips. This weekend I'm going to buy the paint and get it all set up...and I can guarantee you he will step in and stop me...and then he'll get to doing it.
My b-day is in March...it's usually an oversight. Honestly, most years it's a very, very last minute gift or cake and I know it was an "oh crap...we forgot" kind of moment. I'm guessing it makes me younger though, since we haven't celebrated ALL of my birthdays, right? LOL, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!
I've grown so accustomed to it that I just buy myself something nice. Best part is I always get just want I wanted
This year I'm going to Beaufort, SC for a race. Get myself a nice little room at a B&B and tour the area.
I am totally in favor of doing what we can to celebrate our own birthdays. I mean, who knows better what we like, right? Just wish I could take my son with me...he loves it as much as I do, and has been with me several times. Maybe when he is out of college.
My sister's birthday fell on the first too. I haven't been back to the city in over 6 years . But the heart of NY lives in me always. Most of my nephews and nieces still reside there.
I still dream of the city (my birth place,) and have many great memories of the state. I Hope you have a great time.

Only because I just shared that with you!
