Hateration!!

I was at a party this past weekend and was so ready to serve up a smorgasbord of the above picture to the women in the house. Why? Because there was no need for all the visual hateration I was getting. I give props to all the full-figured women who sported their mini dresses, low cleavage tops, and very tight pants for their confidence. Hey, if you've got it, flaunt it they say.

Now, I'm 5' 7" barefoot. I wear 3-4 inch heels almost daily and 5 when I'm really feeling it. I weight between 145-150, have a 29 inch waist, and am considered fit by all health standards. I can comfortably fit clothes in single digits from the Juniors department and am damn sure proud of being able to maintain my body at almost 42 years old.

I don't make a habit of coming off as "all that" because I'm not "all that" as beauty is subjective, but let's just say, I; for the most part am not lacking for attention. I walk with an air of confidence because I am confident in myself, but am far from arrogant or conceited. Anyway, while at this party, the women looked at me like they wanted to throw me off the boat. Why? That's yet to be determined, but let's say it's safe to assume that my outfit was commanding all kinds of attention from both the men and women. I chose it because I was comfortable in it and also because I knew it would be hot on the boat. I didn't wear it because I was seeking attention as the haters might think.

My point of this is that I'm sick and tired of women giving me the side eye or mean mugging me because they think I think I'm all that. I also am sick of being visually criticized because I'm wearing something they wish they could have. Now, as I said before, if the full-figured women can sport their (sometimes inappropriate) outfits, then why can't I? I'm not going to start wearing a Burkha because someone is jealous or envious of me, my clothes, or my figure.

So, here's what I looked like...

Love to live; live to love!

the sound effects!

Using public restrooms is an activity most hate, but have to endure during the day to prevent the potential health risks avoiding them can cause. I'm not exception to the rule, and often wait until I'm damn near ready to pee myself before I go. I'n in; I'm out and I'm on with my day. But what is up with these people (namingly woman) who go in there and camp out just to take a piss or shit? This morning I went into the ladies room and there's a woman in there pissing and she's got all these sound effects going as if pissing was the highlight of her day. I couldn't help but wonder what noises she makes when she has to shit for all the noise she made over peeing.

Then I go to another ladies room to wash my hands and there's a woman in there taking a shit and she's grunting angrily. I wasn't sure if she was mad because I interupted her movement or if she's was angry because it was giving her grief. Either way, I didn't want to stick around to find out, so I washed and ran barely stopping to dry my hands.

I don't understand how people can go to the rest room in public with such ease and then add sound effects and such while they're in there. Even when I'm home, I go in; get out and get on with my day. I don't want to stick around and turn it into story time or show and tell event.

Does anyone else encounter this mess when they're at work?

Love!
