My Neighbor is Perfect ~ Hooray

It is 12:14 pm (around noon) here, this really is not a real blog post or serious writing, but it is worthy of a post (maybe).

Just woke up and sitting outside drinking my coffee, and my neighbor is outside.

My neighbor is fully dressed, tan, perfect shape, perfect make-up and hair, and even perfect shoes on while mowing grass. Her home is perfect and the grounds.

Liz just woke up, hair looks like birds landed in it sometime, no bra on (come on, I just woke up) and my grass needs mowed severely. I also refuse to cut down the corn stalks and wild flowers that are growing in my front yard for no reason.    :)

Frustrating that she is already so busy and has everything done in her yard, and I must have (4) cups of coffee before I can begin such work.

Hard for me to type right now because only had a 1/2 cup of coffee. Check back in later, have to try to catch up with “Mrs. Perfection” over here somehow, well probably won’t (what for?). It is making feel a bit tense, like I should get up and do some work or something.

Gets on my damn nerves when people try to act like they can “walk on water.”

Here is the kicker: She is about 15 years older than me. Am I jealous?

Yes, jealous of her time management skills and her perfectionism.

Please keep in mind I live in a subdivision community.

What is the point of this post?

Perfectionism vs. realism

The First Love: Heartbreaker

Why is it that young love is so different for older people?

Perhaps due to the fact our hearts were mangled by loss, grief, and crushed to dust?

Speak to a person in the beginning stages of young love, it is such a serious emotion.

Just unsure why after a person gets older (like myself) that the love emotion fades, drastically.

Speaking of love for a partner, boyfriend or husband.

Older women like myself, we seem to not carry this same need for acceptance or love from our partners in order to feel secure.

I would feel fine without the justification of my husband, at this age.

However, as a teen or during my twenties such a lack of attention from a boyfriend or spouse would have driven me nuts.

Older women we just simply are secure and seem to not need the validation from our lovers/spouse to feel good about ourselves. Unsure why this is, but it is nonetheless.

See young men and women have much grief over a break-up. I remember the horrible breakups (boyfriends) of my youth and it was terribly emotional.

Women of my age and older, we have confidence and are secure in ourselves without the need of constant reassurance that we are pretty, loved and wanted by our lovers or spouse.

Would have been nice to have the same knowledge of the strange emotion of love during my first true love, as I do now being older.

First true love of life seems to be the “one true love.” This person is typically the one who breaks our hearts in our teens or twenties.

People of a certain age tend to not allow the love goggles to blind them in regards to dating or marriage, as young men and women do in the teens and twenties.

The first love of ones life, is never forgotten, but does often time cause scarring from a broken heart.

Women of a Certain Age

Why does society seem to shut the door on older women? (more…)

Suburbitches: Round Two

Well readers, let’s just get on with this rant. Straight from my mind to the paper. Someone had the nerve to say the following words to me yesterday, (more…)

1935 or 2012? What year is it?

Rant straight from my mind to the paper….no rough draft.

You talk too much.” Three different people I know have told me this over the past week. These were all men of course. This phrase has me so agitated. (more…)

Miss•Demeanor

Are we still in the 1950′s? Time to get rid of the word ma’am. Don’t you agree?

Why do we American women dislike the word “ma’am?”

I hear that ear-piercing word each time I go to the grocery store. A young bagger or cashier says, “thank you ma’am.”  My husband does not understand why I return home in a bad mood.

It is a huge faux pas to call any American women “ma’am.”  We will not say anything hateful back to you, if called that evil word.  However, our thoughts scream, “I am not old enough to be called “ma’am.”  We also think to ourselves, “do I look that bad?”

Miss = single
Mrs. = married
Ma’am = Erase from your memory of words, please (thank you, kindly)

“Ma’am” should be removed from the English language.

What are your thoughts on the subject?

Is the word “ma’am” used in your country? If so, is it thought of as a positive or negative word?

 

 

Women: Not Good Enough?

“It’s not vanity to feel you have a right to be beautiful. Women are taught to feel we’re not good enough, that we must live up to someone else’s standards. But my aim is to cherish myself as I am.”

-Elle Macpherson
