Status: happy… and trimming the relationship fat

Posted by Mel on Feb 13, 2008 in This only happens to me! | 7 comments

I casually mentioned that the next time My Man (M², his new nickname) and I head to Sam’s Club, that we HAVE to load up on some sugary sweets. The cupboards are currently filled with everything of the cracker and tortilla chip variety (and he just eats up those cowtails too quickly). He asks what I have a craving for and my response was "strawberry wafer cookies" (random, right?). Out of nowhere, he grabs his wallet and LEAVES!

Not only does he return with the aforementioned wafers-of-goodness, but a strawberry milkshake from UDF (my new hangover cure, although I haven’t been drinking), a bag of frosted animal crackers, three frosted kruellers (for breakfast) AND a box of butterscotch Krimpets. Surprisingly, I slept rather well.

The boy, he wants me happy… or he wants me fat. Or he’s completely off on the PMS portion of my cycle.

In other odes of awesomeness to M², he hung up my list of 43 Cleveland+ on the fridge to cross off in completeness when we have "nothing to do."

Reading: the Britney Spears article in Rolling Stone (with no thanks to VH1 last night showing in obscenely old program on Britney and her subsequent crazy status). This article is so incredibly sad — with her story being gruesomely addictive. What caught my attention most, was the mention by the author how attractive Britney (still) is in public, regardless of the "oops" moment she recently experienced on that used-to-be-music channel. The very fact that she’s probably my size (and beautiful) just kills me thinking there will be no progress with women in regard to body image.

Esteban, gearing up for spring training, is hearting: "R U Experienced" by Stylophonic (yeah, I know you’ve all seen the D&G commercial), "Make Me Sweat" by Basement Jaxx, "Fuck You" by Ottorongo.

Aaawwww… how sweet of your boyfriend! I can’t wait to hear what he gets you or does for you on Valentine’s Day. He sounds sweet.

As for the Britney article, I read it too and it WAS very sad. It pointed out that she has always been pretty low on the self esteem and has always used guys to dictate what she does in her life. It’s like she needs to be told what to do. She started out in show business SO young that she really doesn’t KNOW how to be a normal person.

And as far as the body image comment – I agree. The actresses and models that are deemed “beautiful and thin” probably look like walking skeletons in person.

Right there with you re: body image issues.

Also, the Grapefruit Gal had no interest in the Grammy Awards, so we spent the night watching HGTV. I would have preferred to watch the Grammys (Grammies,) but I tend to defer to her on these issues, at least at her house.

If I had known I would be missing an unannounced cameo appearance by Daft Punk themselves I would have demanded we stay on that channel (she changed it after Prince’s appearance, saying she doesn’t like Prince, and giving me at least half a reason to break up with her). Grapefruit Gal is an indie-rock queen, and even my mentioning that our own local indie-label stars Paramore were nominated for best new artist wasn’t enough to sway her. Though seriously, the circus that was Amy Winehouse’s private little party would have probably driven me to cutting myself long before Kanye showed up. I’m not a rap fan, but I can appreciate talent in any genre, and Kanye had it GOIN’ ON Sunday night.

WOW. Your boyfriend is just sooooooooo great. God you are so boring. Who cares. You’re happy, that’s great but you drooling over the boy makes me sick. You used to be interesting. And Brit is way skinnier than you and much better looking. I have seen both of you in person.

Yes! It’s been a while since somebody ripped on me. Damn, feels good.

Me, being a size 4, well, I am not sure how Brit can be “way skinnier.” But I digress… As for better looking, I could care less about the way I look (or what you think about my looks); life is how you treat other people — to which I treasure and value and live by every day. One day you will realize there is so much more to a person than being a “pretty face” or a “nice rack” or “sweet ass.”

BTW, if you think you’re hurting me, think again… I would choose “boring” over being offensive any day. So please, go elsewhere, and read about somebody more “interesting.”

Sorry, I have the name “M squared” trademarked with the vanity plates to prove it.

Hah! Ok, then it will have to be M², II.

Back to the drawing board…
