Keeping it Real.

A few things about me...

I cannot help but check out my butt every time I walk by a reflective surface. Narcissistic much? Maybe. I hate my butt so I am constantly checking out its status – does it look odd in these pants, should I walk differently or stand a certain way to make it appear less hateable in my eyes. Yeah I just made that word up. It doesn’t matter the source – I’m talking glass walls, bathroom mirrors, reflective windows of buildings – any reflection and I’m checking my butt out.

Sunday while putting together outfits for the week, I started hearing moaning noises and quickly determined it was coming from my neighbor. I ran into the kitchen grabbed a glass, stuck it to the wall and totally listened for over an hour. An hour plus of baby making was happening over there and I was pulled in. I miss Cowboy.

I’ve used the oddest objects to clean my teeth. Oh the shame. Anything from a pin, an earring, business card to tweezers have been in my mouth. Sometimes a toothpick isn’t always around.

I play photoshoot in front of the bathroom mirror. Sometimes! I don’t know what it is but I’ll sit there and make different mood faces and poses as if I was getting that direction from a photographer. You can always be fierce, no matter how crazy.

I have Real Simple’s Wedding Guide. No ring on my finger BUT have I told you my undying love for Real Simple? I love love love that publication to death. Don’t mess with me and my Real Simples. Its my best day of the month when its sitting in my mailbox. I take it in, hug it, unplug everything, ignore the phone, make a comfy spot, sit and enjoy every page of it. So when they came out with a wedding guide, well, you know it was no question for me to go buy it. And it is the bestest. No worries, it will safely be hidden in a drawer when Cowboy returns.

I smell markers. I cannot help it. Markers, Sharpies, dry erase markers and highlighters – I smell them before I use them. Each time I uncap it to write I must take a sniff. I don’t know what that’s all about. I’ve added animal crackers to my list of childhood eats. Maybe that’s the reason I’m not liking my ass.

CD Project: Oh what greatness today, I hope Twisted Panties pops in today. Today, ooooh I have a goody. When we were in college, Twisted Panties and I were in the same Campaigns class together. At the end of the semester we all had to get in groups and create a campaign for the GAP. Twisted Panties’ group handed out favors at the end of their presentation – a mixed CD chock full of the moment pop songs. I fell in love. This was my post workout daily dance CD for about 3 years. I could not get enough. It contains Destiny Child, Britney Spears, Christina Aguillera, Mya, Shakira and a couple others. My favorite track is Stronger by Britney Spears. But I love the entire CD.
