Let the Maintenance Begin

I apologize for not posting in a while.  It is that time of year where I can't even see straight, so I certainly can't think straight.  I have a store for anyone who doesn't know me, which if you read this, you know me better than most.   Anyway, the other day I was getting ready to go to work and I realized that it is taking me a lot longer these days.   Who knew that to look "natural" could take so long!  I designed a greeting card in my head that morning.  "Happy 3_ ! "

 ( Whatever the year, you fill it in).   Then you open the card and it says "Let the maintenance begin!"  I think I am on to something... Then I started to get dressed.  Specifically putting on my bra, if you can call it that.  The brand name is Barely There and guess what!?  They are BARELY THERE!  Think training bra of an eleven year old.  Anyway, I came up with a million dollar ad campaign for a plastic surgeon.  We all have seen that DOVE commercial where the ladies sing the old camp song.  Well, if I was a plastic surgeon wanting to sell some boob jobs, my song would go something like this:

DO YOUR BOOBS HANG LOW?

DO THEY WOBBLE TO AND FRO?

CAN YOU TIE IN A KNOT ?

CAN YOU TIE THEM IN A BOW?!

CAN YOU THROW THEM OVER YOUR SHOULDER LIKE A CONTINENTAL SOLDIER?

DO YOUR BOOBS HANG LOW?

Can you imagine the business you would do!  If there is a great plastic surgeon out there, especially in Atlanta or New York City maybe we could barter boobs for the jiggle.  I got a sister too.  We could recover together in some swanky hotel...Hmmm. I think I'm on to something.  The fact that I would even half way consider BOOBS, that made me laugh too.  Well,  that leads to the last idea I had that morning-  A t-shirt design with a silhouette of a crow.  It would read, "EAT MORE CROW. "   Luckily, that is the upside of maturing, I am hopefully eating less Crow, but old/wise enough to know that I am still capuable of eating more.  Actually, I think CROW is good for your soul.  We all could eat more(CROW) and (soapbox) less.  Being humble and gracious is so much more attractive. Furthermore, the more successful you think you are or are, the more humble and gracious you need to be.  I really struggled with that notion growing up.  I was and can be very self-absorbed(EAT MORE CROW), and the reason for that self-absorption can come from many places. I know where mine stems from, but  I won't bother you with that dribble.   Life and living a good life is about personal checks and balances, and just not taking yourself so seriously.  When in doubt, EAT MORE CROW!  Hmmm, I think I am on to something.  Nan
