What do you do when you’re feeling so gross? Motivation can take a back seat when your feeling so run down.It’s important that we stop and shop a pantyhose sale once and a while… lol It had been so long since I had wore hose – the other day I slipped some on to see if I had a run in them… I did. But it got me thinking, “I need to clean this drawer out”… and sure enough, I started looking at all my clothes and wasting a whole after noon organizing them… which inspired me to think…. "I need to get out and STRUT!!
I have been feeling pretty “homely” lately. Three months of recovery has taken its toll on me. I haven’t “felt” attractive for some time now. I think this is because I have not been able to really get out and go full tilt GLAM like I enjoy doing once and a while… well, that time is nearing.
Looking over my MySpace page photos, I had to ask myself, “Where did all those fun times go”?
Question: What do you do to make yourself feel better when you do not feel attractive or at your best?
Me? I miss playing with my hair – seems everything has gotten so damn serious lately… I just want to paint my nails… you can have the drama world…
…and, any one that doesn’t like it, can hold my purse!
Photo Above – Me eating {gulp}, “Deep-fried Cheesecake” at the Erie Days fair in Erie PA. Whoever invented this stuff must have said, “Gee, I want to have a heart attack, but don’t want to wait in line…” The “evidence” was photographed by Laura Miller… Thanks girl… I owe you one…

Sometimes when we attain things we've strived for for so long, there can be a bit of a "let down", goal attained and all that. I'm so happy for you that you finally attained what you wanted for so long. Take heart though...it seems you're such an inspiration for so many of the other girls on here.-Matt FM

Looks like you are working diligently on getting over the "hump" of the let down that was bound to come with everything you've been through lately. Just get through each day as best you can. And I've had the friend cheesecake and honestly can't think of a better way to work my way through a problem! Keep smiling that pretty smile....-Debby

When I'm feeling down I tend to eat or sleep! Looking at the photo you've mastered the first one of those, and with that smile you look good enough to eat too!!-Davinia Hilton

My secret make-myself-feel-better activity? (grin) Coloring! Yep, I have the big 96 box of crayolas and my own coloring books. I happily discovered you can order beautiful more grown-up type coloring books off amazon. Mine tend to be girly, LOL...unicorns, fairies, carousel horses, etc.Whatever makes you feel better, happier, less stressed, and helps you be kinder and gentler with yourself is a good thing! :)

What can I possibly say? It's not going to be bliss every day; but that doesn't mean it can't be bliss some days. How's that?-Stephanie Yates

Today I did a great thing for lifting my spirits... went to the nail salon. A little pampering by cute Asian girls goes a long way! Tomorrow... shopping for shoes.-Angel

I can't say I've ever had the feeling of wanting to paint my nails...but I know that the fried cheesecake looks great. Longhorn has (or had) a pretty food friend cheesecake dessert thing that I'm quite fond of :)
ReplyDeleteJust a gentle nudge ... I know you're pulling cable, raising up those kids of yours and doing the things a gal about town does ... but it's been for you a bit of a spell between updates. BLOG Damn it!
ReplyDeleteChloe, I just read your story, "My
ReplyDeleteWife, Bob." Powerful stuff and something for all of us to remember. Ya, if that happened to me I'd be a bit put-off; and yet, that's exactly what I'm doing to my dear wife. I'm so fortunate that she tolerates it. Never mind supporting me in my Teri lifestyle - tolerating it is more than I can ask for.
