There’s a newish meme making its way around the blogosphere and since this here blog has been nuffin’ but baby pictures and whining, I thought I might try something of substance.
At least we start off with something easy for me:
Day 1:: Something you hate about yourself:
I can be a pissy little bitch when I want to be. In my head, I am like that a lot of the time. People are standing right where I want to be in a store, co-workers come and go as they please with no repercussions while I have to be at my desk promptly, chances are good I’m using the *wrong* dish towel for someone in the house – yes, that’s a litany of thoughts in my head just today. There’s more, of course. But you get the point.
A part of me is *never* satisfied no matter what. It’s too much or not enough. Had my birthday come and gone with nary a comment from anyone, I would have been sad. People make a big deal about it and damn near give me a parade at work and it’s too much.
It’s all part of my perpetual “Can’t Win” Theatre. Table for one always available in the corner.
Here’s the list for the 30 days – Gal? Wanna play?

I am afraid of people's anger, even anger when it's directed elsewhere. Really afraid.
Something I hate about myself….I am tired but still haven't figured out how to say no. Even though time slips quickly, when I see something that looks like a good opportunity or something I "have always wanted to do", I say YES when NO should be the word. Then I get tired, and tired me is not a pretty site. I am learning, but…. (will I make all 30 days? probably not but lets give it a shot)
Becks, I saw something today in the blogsophere about saying yes when you want to say no and how it's disrespecting your own self by doing that. (Damn! wish I could find it!)
Taking care of what you need is really, really important.
This looks cool. I shall give it a shot. (I didn't know there was a "right" dish towel, but I love the imagery of "Can't Win" Theater.)
My recent post In my way- Ill miss Christine ODonnell
YEY! Gal's in and not only IN but in with a vengeance! She did 3 days at one time to catch up in November. Woot!
Yikes! Very brave to take this on! I could never.
Sure you could! Only a few people read here (heh) so feel free to jump in on any question you want to answer! :)
