The Joy of Being a Female

For the most part, I like being a girl.

Ya know, the cute stuff, the pretty stuff, the glittery shimmery sparkly stuff, the fru fru stuff… I like it.

But then there’s this horrible part, the part that no one likes… no male no female… we’re all in agreement that it sucks!

and this tweet says it all…

I woke up this morning and stared at myself in the mirror, and it looked as though I had been crying all night in my sleep, and I felt like I did too. I remember my dreams though, they were about Timon and Pumba! Granted they had weird googly eyes that were all psychedelic and B was yelling at them, but nothing tear worthy at all!

So I put on a pair of my favorite shorts, my favorite shoes, and my favorite sweater. If I’m going to be emotional I might as well be comfortable. And then I made a big ‘ole chai latte. Might as well be comfortable and warm in the soul.

And then I cried.

So this is me this morning, and probably all day.

Emotional… crying… being a Debby Downer… for absolutely no reason at all.

And yes, you can totally laugh at those pictures because I did too! And then when I started uploading them and looking at them again, I started crying… I cried at me crying!

 

Isn’t being a girl just grand?!

    You should have seen my tweet last night! I talked about the food I was pinning on Pinterest because of my own “girl moment”. I went to the store and bought things I NEEDED……which was everything to make Banana Pudding AND Cake Batter Rice Krispies.
    Sad thing is….I’m pretty sure I have 2 more weeks of this. (PMDD just sucks)
    I have been moody, emotional, tired…..
    Loads of fun. :/
    So, I’m right there with you sister.
    Keep on keepin’ on.
    PS: go to the beach alone today. I have a feeling it might help. Sending hugs your way.

    I’m sorry, I hate days like that! Mine was yesterday when I was emotional about literally everything…at least we know to expect it sometimes!

    Um, so … while I was confusing you last night with my tweets about Gordon Ramsey, I was also eating a big hunk of raw chocolate chip cookie dough. Emotionally eating? Yes, ma’am.

    *sigh*
