That's What She Said
The only reason I am posting this picture of myself is because it is the first time in many, many years that I have not had acne. I have been plagued with acne since I was 13. That is almost 30 years! I started seeing a naturopath last month and I finally have mostly clear skin. I am at work right now in the creepy building and yes, I am allowed to be online. My job is very quiet when I am here. Anyway, clear skin. Something that everyone else takes for granted but I am doing a happy dance. There is still a lot of scars but I am OK with that. And, as I said before, my cravings for crap foods are disappearing and I am eating healthier foods. Though I have not lost any weight my clothes are fitting looser.
Do you ever have an alter-ego turn up? It doesn't happen to me often but she showed up tonight. When I work nights I often go to the grocery store before my shift. Tonight I grabbed my cart, did my shopping, paid and went to my car. The store was getting ready to close for the night so the cart guy was gathering the carts. I was bringing my cart to the guy and was just going to shove it at the end of the line. I said to him, "Does it go in backwards?" And then I said, "Ha! That's what she said!" The guy started laughing and said he can't say things like that. Then normal me came back and I told him I was really sorry and how inappropriate that was. That just made him laugh harder. I slunk to my car and offered another apology and got in my car. I could still hear his laughter after I closed the door. Ug! What was I thinking?
I have an alter-ego. But mine's the one who apologises:)
ReplyDeleteOkay, just shut up right now, because your comment to the cart guy was HI-larious and on point so don't even think twice about it. And the fact that he laughed too, you made his night, so pat yourself on the back for making someone else smile and laugh; that's what this life is all about. Love the pic of you; you look adorable. Now I must investigate what you've been doing because I'm still a slave to crap foods myself....
ReplyDeleteLOL! It's always about half a second later that you realise what you said, isn't it.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure he got a kick out of that. I wouldn't worry about it. I'm sure he just thought you were hilarious!
ReplyDeleteYour skin looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI had a moment like yours last week and I was in the grocery store too. The bagger asked if I'd like my beer put into a bag and I said,"No. I'm just going to drink it on my way home." I would never do that! I have no idea where those words came from. It was sort of funny.
Your beautiful clear skin is making you flirtatious, that's all!
ReplyDeleteHahaha.. you are really so cute!
ReplyDeleteMy skin is worse now than it was in high school. I always have zit cream in one hand and wrinkle cream in the other. It's awful.
ReplyDeleteI had salad for supper last night and I'm so hungry this morning, I could eat a bucket of KFC. Ugh. I'm cranky. Thankfully, your "That's what she said" story made me laugh too!!
I agree with Debra, your new skin is bringing out the new you. I would have laughed too.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see you and share in your funnies. That must feel good.
ReplyDeleteI'm just catching up. You should hear some of the things I say at work. It's funny what you said, the guy laughed. It's all good.
ReplyDeleteLookin' good Barbara...
ReplyDeleteSo what are you taking for your acne? Perrhaps you already blogged about it and I missed it? I am 42 and still have pimples! Ack! Help!
ReplyDeleteYour skin looks great!
ReplyDeleteHahaha! Love this!! I think I like you, Birdie :)
ReplyDeleteMy husband is always prepared to cringe when we're visiting friends because he's never sure just what might come flying out of my mouth. It's never really as bad as he thinks it could be... well, okay, maybe a few times. ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the Pooh shirt.
You're so pretty!
