Funny conversation happened two hours ago. My sis Cindy and I had just returned from In & Out Burger and McDonald's for dinner and dessert (what a healthy lifestyle we do lead). I laid down on the chaise lounge in the living room, an exasperated, complacent look on my face...
You see, its Saturday night, and somewhere ingrained in me that means I should be doing something social. After all, I'm young, only 25, and single, but I've been living like a nun. I could have gone to one of my local hang outs, but am feeling lethargic. I hadn't showered all day (haha!!), and was too tired to do it now, and just thinking of the minimum hour process that follows a shower (what with drying my big pile of hair and fixing it up somewhat decent), exhausts me. Then of course putting makeup on and finding something clean and cute to wear is a new career in and of itself so I just wasn't feeling it. In addition to...
I woke up this morning with the stiffest lower back known to man (like I said to some e-friends, feels like I just moved a houseful of furniture). Can't figure out the culprit of my ailment but I feel like a geriatric patient, but without the jello (can someone get me some cherry jello in a dixie cup stat, puh-leeze? LOL). I think I need a handsome physical therapist (say maybe a handsome Puerto Rican with muscles and a nice accent, that would lift my mood tremendously, haha) Anyway, am going off on a tangent...so here I am, had just laid on the chaise lounge, was feeling somewhat comatose from my state of mind and stomach full of fast food, and I said...
Me: I'm feeling lame on a Saturday night.
Cindy: Hey we should invite some guys over.
Me: No, I look ugly.
Cindy & Jenny (our other roommate) in unison: No you don't.
Cindy (to Jenny): Does she look ugly? I don't think she looks ugly.
Me: Thanks, but I feel ugly. My hair is greasy. My laundry is dirty.
Cindy: You're being silly. You are so weird. You look fine.
Me(in a very serious tone): No, I don't. (Pause) And I don't want them to see me like this... because if I'm not glamorous then I'm not showing who I really am.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: I was of course, only half-serious. But don't you love oxymoron statements? I looked over at Jenny's face, to see her reaction, her expression read, "Are you kidding me?!". We all burst into laughter. And laughed for quite awhile. It was good laugh therapy. Now I feel a little better and had to write about it. I'm still not showered, not glammed up, back is still stiff as a board, but am feeling better somehow. Laughter truly is the best medicine and can be a girl's best friend (along with chocolate chip cookies from McDonald's drive-thru and "Pride and Prejudice" on DVD, which is like the epitome of a good night to me right now, hahaha ) Thanks for reading - Jess the Blog Authoress

Hey, we did the same thing! Adam's working out of town, so I've been lounging around all day. I did muster enough energy to get dressed so my stylist could fix my crazy blonde highlights she did, and to grab a burger, but I've been laying in bed since 8:30. Good times.
How did the new highlights turn out? Its been awhile since I've had a stylist do my hair (my old one thinks I've gone M.I.A., since the economy and financial struggles have had to dye and trim my hair myself.
Oh well, hoping for change! That all will improve.
laughter therapy is the best kind!
and free! yay!
and nothing beats pride & prejudice. did you watch the bbc version or the keira knightly version. (i love them both)
Well, actually I ended up watching "Dumb and Dumberer" and falling asleep, lol. Was going to watch Pride and Prejudice (Keira Knightly version, don't own the BBC one yet!) but then my sister had a couple free videos she got from the library. It actually was kind of funny (continued our theme of laughing for the night) although I ended up falling asleep at the end (really was tired).
