Ladies In Waiting

Becoming beautiful from the inside out...

You think?!


Okay, deep breath here.

You know what I hate?! When someone who (...how shall I say this?) has many lbs. on them tells me that I need to lose weight, or work out more, or stop eating my McDonald's!

I mean, "Hello?!"

Something Dark and Dangerous takes over in my mind...

No matter how small you think someone is, most females tend to be somewhat sensitive about their weight. (and I stand to be corrected on that) There are some Awesome Women who are very comfortable in their own bodies and I applaud them, seriously! BUT, why is it not okay (universally) to tell an overweight person that they need to lose weight, or joke about their weight or "rolls" but it's okay for an overweight person to tell someone else that they need to lose weight or say something like, "Yeah, you need to hurry up and tighten up that belly!"

Once again, Something Dark and Dangerous threatens to creep in...

Can we not learn the concept of the Golden Rule? Treat others as you would like to be treated?

It works the same for say, an outfit, or shoes! If you would not like someone to tell you that yours are ugly, why tell someone that their shoes look like someone's grandmother's? Hypothetically speaking, of course! (Not the first part of this ranting and raving session, that really did happen!)

I just don't understand Life and What is Accepted. Because, I think that my view of What Should Be Accepted is vastly different from others. Maybe I'm just not normal. Me and my fat self. LOL

Anywhere...But Here


The wind in my face,
The breeze in my hair
How I long to be anywhere but here!
The sand in my toes,
The sun on my nose
Oh! To be anywhere but here!

Or the be on a plane
Far south is my aim
Heading far, far away from here.
The colors are so bright!
And music fills the night
How I only to be anywhere but here.

The stones are so grand;
So proudly they stand
In a land far away from here.
A land by the sea
Where ancients roamed free
Far, far away from here.

I realize I'm just dreaming
Just staring at the ceiling
But my heart has bid me adieu!
How I long to be there
It doesn't matter where,
As long as I'm far away from this room.
