Stuff & Nonsense, the stuff of the life of me.

Dearest My Peeps,

Howdy hey out there in the land of make believe. How goes it this fine night?? I'm doing quite well. I was maybe going to go to Pat's after work, and that didn't work out, but I suppose it's okay, mostly because it has to be. I've been working mostly days, so Mum and I have been travelling together. She got in the car tonight & asked if I was up for eating out. Of course I was up for eating out! She asked if I had any suggestions. Of course I immediately thought of Dairy Queen. It's been so long since I've eaten there. It was very good. I've discovered that I like Burger King poutine better, which almost seems like blasphemy, but ah well. It's all good.

Then we came home & I promptly had a pretty dose of the runs. Honestly. It wasn't even a half hour later. Well, I guess that old lady from church was right. She said that she could "never eat at Diarrhea Queen, the awful place". I can see her point. It's great food, and worth the pain once in a while, but not on a regular basis. It's the only place I am guaranteed to have problems after I eat there. If I frequent other fast food joints too often they tend to cause the same problems. But if I moderate properly, there's nary a concern. Dairy Queen doesn't matter how much I moderate. Tonight was the first time in at least 3 or more months since I've been there. Still, it was good. They actually give a decent amount of pickles when you ask for pickles on your grilled chicken. Burger King is cheap & only puts two on it. Ah well, c'est la vie. The fact that I can eat fast food as often as I do says something & I really shouldn't been complaining about it.

Honestly, it seems almost sacrilegious. God has blessed me with so much & I whine that I want more. It's disgusting, that's what it is. I don't need more stuff. I don't need more food. I get lots. I don't need more clothes. I have lots. I could definitely use a new pair of black dress pants for work, but I don't need them. I have 2 or 3 pairs of khaki coloured men's pants that I COULD wear if I wasn't so fussy. I have been wearing one of them on a semi-regular basis lately. But I just don't like them. I don't feel pretty in them. Honestly. I want to wear girl's pants that flatter what little figure I have. I don't want to wear men's pants & feel masculine. I'm not masculine, so I shouldn't have to feel like I am.

On a side note, lest I venture into areas of self-deprecation forbidden me by both Pat & Jacqui, (the smarties, I really need to listen to them more), I just discovered the spell check feature of blogger. It's great! I don't' have to worry so much about backspacing to fix my typos. I just have to hit the spell check button & it highlights my mistakes for me. Then when I click on the highlighted word, it gives me a list of appropriate options. It's amazing! Mostly. If I "hte" instead of "the" it doesn't give me "the" in the list, but it still highlights it, so it's still great.

Anyhow, I work at 9 am, so I'm headed out for bed. It's only 10, but I've been trying to get a decent night's sleep lately, so it's not so hard first thing in the morning. Let's just say it's a good thing that if I open it's usually alone.

So yeah, happy day! Cheers!
Do be safe!
