No Grudge in QUOTIDIEN

For those of you who don't know me - the past two entries were written with my tongue firmly planted in my cheek. I find humor in the potentially offensive - and just have to share.

Often, I find when I post such things, noters come back with reassurances - as if, in the reading of such entries, they have detected some self-incrimination that must be fixed rather than seeing the humor of it all.

Having had my uterus par-broiled more than 5 years ago, my luteal phases mean very little me. I do, however, realize how some take this sort of thing very seriously - and DO see it as the end of the road. I, however, choose to poke humor at such things - especially since being menopausal, or even POST menopausal is an inevitability for all women.

Jeans - I HATE seeing butt-cracks, period. Seriously - recognize how much junk you have in your trunk, and purchase pants with enough material to cover that thang up! Further - all public places should be WHALE TAIL FREE zones. Reminds me of a man-mountain I saw at, you guessed it, WalMart - who stooped to pick up a child, revealing his hairy tramp-stamp. I'm guessing a lost college bet! Nobody should have to see that sort of thing.

For me, low-rise/hip-hugger jeans actually come up to my belly-button - something I should have taken into account when I was trying on jeans the other day.

In other news, we finally got rain! After days of drinking the air and sweating from the effort required to breath through that stuff, it rained. We are expected a few days of cooler weather with enough wind to dry that all up before the temp heats up again. Hallelujah!!!
