New Year with new promises

So here we are, another New Year's Eve and another chance for the proverbial "fresh start".  We'll see how this goes, how it all plays out, how long it takes me to break every last resolution I make.....we'll see.

Callin' the shots

Just have to get this day off my mind, move on, put it behind me....Ok, I can't!  Here's the thing, a fully grown woman is running around "tattling" on people (we're all fully grown and professional types) and creating a great deal of consternation among everyone.  At first this seemed funny, off-putting perhaps, but still funny to watch from the outskirts of this car wreck.  But as time rolls on and more drama unfurls, it has turned into a quick check behind your back to see who is lurking and a desire to remain as far away from the drama as possible.  This woman has taken brown nosing to a new level and has split people into a grouping of her team and the rest of us.  I'm going to the back and staying there.

Keeping it real

On the radio this afternoon I listened to a huge debate about whether or not plastic surgery was a good option for people trying to find a job in our troubled economy.  I am completely supportive of people doing whatever it is that makes them feel good about themselves.   What a disturbing trend (in my opinion) for people to think it's the reason they will or will not be hired.  I don't think anybody is ever truly "fooled" by even the best plastic surgeon. Okay, maybe men are easily fooled, but most women are very good at scrutinizing their fellow females.  Here in sunny Florida,  I've had more than a few of my friends bump up their boob size and plump up their lips.  C'mon, really? Ummm, who thinks this looks good?   "I'll take NOBODY for $800 Alex."

The Eyes Have It

It's getting harder and harder to go anywhere without my Stein Mart designer reading glasses.  At first I thought they were "a help" from time to time, but now I've crossed the line from "Where are those little reading glasses," to "Where in the hell are those glasses so I can see something?"  The progression from one extreme to the other has actually taken a couple of years, but all of a sudden I am absofreakinglutely blind without these things!  I now use them for the computer, to read, to shop, okay, it seems as though I use them for everything except while I'm sleeping.  That would be about right.
