Eat, Eat, Eat................

Do you what I noticed about working in the office environment? People eat so much take out.  If your not careful you could gain 20 pounds in no time. Someone is always bringing in snacks or they have their little stash in the drawer and everyday it's fast food. Someone always says "I'm hungry, let's eat." I made the rule for myself this time, I will only get take out if it is salad or something non-fattening. I am seriously trying to lose weight and fast food everyday will do the opposite. The food they order are meals. You got your chicken, fries, salad, coleslaw and Pepsi or pizza, bread sticks and salad. Except for the occasional time where I am just about starving and want that greasy fattening food.  I really don't want my ass to spread as wide as my chair and have clogged arteries. Then there's the women who eat that food everyday and don't seem to gain a pound. How do they do it? I want their metabolism, I want to be able to eat anything I want and not gain weight. I laugh because those are the ones who are always hungry. I go home everyday on my lunch break to get a few things done and to avoid falling into the trap of eating take out everyday. As soon as the kids are back in school, I'll be off to the gym everyday working out while they are enjoying their take out.  I am truly lucky  though, I work with some really wonderful people who treat everyone in the office like family. God bless their hearts.

Personal Dilemma

I will never truly understand human beings.  One situation I came across today was someone who purposely with held information from someone that they needed, because they don't like them.  I was told to with hold information from someone today and was really uncomfortable being put in that situation. What do you do? Do you go behind your bosses back and give the information or do you just do as your told?  I just did as I was told but wasn't crazy about doing it. The professional world can be insane and cut throat sometimes. I don't think I would ever do something like that to someone even if I wasn't too fond of the person.  Now, with holding the information wasn't going to give her a step forward in the profession.  She simply with held the information because she didn't like her and wanted her to look like an ass by missing a important meeting. Not even thinking that if it gets out that she asked her for the information and she refused to give it to her, she will be the one looking like an ass in the end.  I really hope she doesn't put the blame on me, because if it comes to it, I may actually say, she told me to "Only send her the information for one meeting and not the other because she is a bitch."

2010 Fashions

These are a few selections from Glamour Magazines

"Fall Trends: 12 Styles You're Gonna Want to Wear This Season"

It should be 12 Styles You Should Not Wear This Season.

What's up with clothing designers? Have they run out of ideas?  As a woman shopping in the clothing retail stores, it seems difficult to find something cute to buy.  You can find a few things, but today's fashions are just plain ugly. Not everyone wants to wear the super snug shirts that make you look like your going to pop out of the shirt or the 80's shoes that should have stayed in the 80's.  They just are really not that cute. They are taking all the fun out of shopping.  Shopping is becoming more of a frustration trying to find something that isn't just plain ugly. I'm a girlie girl when it comes to dressing up, buying cloths with all the stripes and ugly prints or the shirts that look like they are too small for me just isn't my thing.  They are making the shirts smaller. I find myself buy larger sizes than I used to buy just to make them fit. Even then sometimes the shirt just doesn't look right.  My 9 year old buys a junior small in some of her tee's and she bought a sun dress from the junior section that was a small.  She is not a big girl by far. She is actually kind of small. Since when can a 9 year old fit in to a junior small. There's something wrong with that picture.

Bedbugs

What is it with the new phenomena of bed bugs? I know they have been around for years, but they were almost unheard of 5 years ago.  Bedbugs are becoming a nationwide problem. They seem to popping up everywhere, even in clothing store dressing rooms. You may want to wear that adorable little outfit you just bought, but they are suggesting you wash or dry clean it first and avoid laying your clothing or purse on the benches in the changing room. In recent weeks several New York City offices have been shut down due to bedbug infestations. According to the National Pest Management Association, bedbug related calls have increased 81% in the last 10 years and 57% in the last 5 years.  Where the hell are these little pests are coming from and why such a increase in the last 5 years?
Bedbugs seem to come from unclean or unsanitary conditions and clutter.  That's pretty scary. The most infestations come from hotel rooms. That means they are not cleaning the rooms the way they should be. International travel and immigration, these bugs symptoms are making a comeback. But people don't detect these symptoms until someone complains of excessive itching and has oval-shaped insect bite marks which are often mistaken as mosquitoes or dust mites bites. Small crevices and cracks are the best hiding place for the little pests. Heavily infested homes will have a sweet musty smell. The odor is secreted by the bedbugs scent glands. Look for fecal or excrement stains, egg cases, and shed skins of bed bug nymphs in crevices, cracks or holes on the bed or near it. Furniture near the bed should be checked also. Bedroom wallpapers, bed springs and clothing in your dresser, should be examined closely for these reddish brown stains. Bedbugs have become more of a problem than cockroaches. These little pests hide in unsuspecting places and get you when you lease expect it. The problem has become so severe, a woman in Michigan has trained her dog to sniff out bedbugs. Okay..... I'm itching now and the next time I stay in a hotel room or use a changing room I'm going to be paranoid.

Is Sexting Cheating?

Today at work, some of my co-workers and I were having a discussion about "Is texting someone of the opposite sex and having inappropriate conversations with them cheating?" From a woman's point of view, it is cheating. Five out of five woman all agreed it was cheating as opposed to a one man's point of view that it is not as long as you were not having a sexual relationship with them. But, isn't that what it is all about and what is the point of doing it if it is going nowhere? If you want to do sexting, then why not do it with your partner?
Men or women who feel the need to cheat or string along others has a lack of self-esteem. The attention they are getting from someone else only builds their ego. A person should be confident enough in themselves not to need the attention of others to feel good about appearance or their ability to be physically attractive to others. You are sexting as a prelude to a sexual relationship with that individual.  By saying, I'm never going to meet with this person is a line of bull, because you know the first time the conversation gets all hot and bothered you will be running off to have sex with them. If you are willing to cross the line of sexting, you will be willing to cross the line of having a sexual relationship with that person too. You don't have to be having sex with them now to be cheating if you are sexting. Eventually, things will lead to a sexual relationship with the other person. It's considered cheating because you are talking sex with another individual while you are vowing to be honest and faithful to your partner.
You have to look at it this way... if you are texting someone and hiding it from your partner, then you know deep down what you are doing is wrong and your partner WILL react negatively towards you and most likely dump your ass when they find out. Saying you don't care if they were doing it is an excuse to validate your own behavior.  When you know deep down, your heart would drop to your stomach if you happen to find out your partner was sexting with someone.
So do yourself and your partner a favor, save them the heartache of your betrayal and be faithful.  You really have to ask yourself the question "Is this person worth losing the one I love?" Apparently not if you are not willing to leave your partner for them and have a relationship with the person you are sexting.

Brothers & Sisters

What is it between brothers and sisters that they want to drive each other crazy?  My son is 10 years old and my daughter is 9 years old.  All they do when they are around one another is argue and tell on one another for everything. They have some major sibling rivalry going on. It is a constant competition for everything. My son loves to do things to make his sister mad and my daughter loves telling on her brother for EVERYTHING. God help us when there is a friend over, because then it's double trouble. It has gotten so bad over summer vacation they can barely be in the same room together to watch television.  Yesterday, my son had a friend over and thought he was being funny by running his little spy car around and spying on everyone. My daughter put a crayon box on the floor to keep the car from coming in the room and he pushed it out of the way with the car. They were arguing over who was going to put the crayon box back. Now, is she wants to block the car from coming in the room, you would think she would get up and put the box back. No, she comes upstairs to say his crayon box is on the floor and he won't pick it up. Okay, so I'm thinking he left his crayon box on the floor. That's not what happened at all. I'm surprised the babysitter doesn't quit on me. Two more weeks.... am I going to make it?
