That thing called "Discomfort"

The following is a condensed list of things that...well....that make me uncomfortable.

Do you have an hour?

JK, peeps. I'll keep it to a minimal.

1. Is it sad to begin this post with Thanksgiving being the first thing on my list? It's not the holiday that makes me uncomfortable. It's certainly not the spirit of celebrating family and all the blessings we have been bestowed with during the present year. No, the thing about Thanksgiving that makes me horrible uncomfortable is.... the food. Don't let that statement confuse you. I LOVE food. But it is the PLACEMENT of food that I so uncomfortably despise. See, I have this thing. I cannot have most certain foods touch each other. So, Thanksgiving....it's worse than torture for me. Please, just throw the sack-cloth over my head and drown me in buckets of water. It's far less inhumane than permitting cream-corn to burst through the boundaries of my plate and barrage my dinner rolls.

2. Public restrooms that try to be original and find other ways to indicate the Woman's and Men's bathrooms. I get that you're attempting creativity and a sense of cleverness. But please....PLEASE try to understand that there are people like me who already struggle with the normal signs with pictures of the bald stick figure in the awkwardly-ovular pants and the seemingly identical bald-headed stick-figure wearing a triangular skirt. Heaven forbid I wear pants one day. The perplexity is too great.

3. The "Are you feeling ok today? You look tired" comment. Gee, I'm sorry I didn't wear makeup today.

4. Popsicles. How in the world do you eat them without (A) looking like you're in a really naughty video, (B) getting it ALL over you towards the end of it's life, or (C) looking like a sucker fish on the side of a tank?

5. Lastly, pictures. I never know what to do in them and I always feel SO awkward if I'm requested to do anything else other than smiling!!! "Now, everyone make a silly face!" <---stick my tongue out. That's the only "silly" face I know! Or the infamous: "Strike a model pose!" What the heck is that?!!!! I try bending my knee, resting my arm at a 90 degree angle on my hip, bringing my shoulders forward slightly, and tilting my head back.

What I think I look like doing the "model pose":

What I actually look like doing the "model" pose:

The single phrase: "you look like you have menstrual cramps" comes to mind.

I'm having SO much fun with Jenni 's challenge to blog everyday this month. She did an amazing job at finding FUN topics to do. I'm having a blast!

Until next time, fearless readers. Hugs, Kisses and everything that Glitters. xoxoxo
