you'd think i would be happy for them

My sister-in-law told me yesterday that her father - Big Bill - has finally decided to marry his longtime girlfriend, over the Christmas holidays.

And these are the thoughts that immediately went through my mind:

1. It's about damn time, they only been together 6 years.

2. Where/when is this momentousus occasion going to take place?

3. I don't have anything to wear

4. I'm going to have to go to Macy's.

5. This blows my Christmas budget

6. Wait!! I have that black dress with the lace bodice and plunging neckline (yay for the boobies) hanging in the back of the closet.

7. But I'll need to fix the zipper which is broken because I tried to squeeze my fat ass into the dress.

8. I'll just have to lose 15 pounds by the end of December (munching on candy corn throughout this entire internal monologue.

9. Ah, fuck it. I'll just wear a girdle and the extra strong pantyhose that hold in the fat

10. But then I'll be uncomfortable and miserable.

11. I wish they had consulted with me first.


I share this to remind you that it is often all about me.

I really need to work on that.

Aaaaaannnddd, because I can immediately make it all about ME, I'd like to remind you that I have a marvelous little black number that I tried on in the aisle of the fancy-dress store, and subsequently bought, and thereafter kicked TOTAL ASS in.

I'd gladly ship it to you. No girdle or repairs needed. A guaranteed fit.

I mean it! It's...magical.

It's horrible to say, but my friends used to say my middle name was "it's all about me." Now, really, it's not but I completely understand your post! It made me laugh out loud. And personally, I would just use the girdle and be uncomfortable for the one night because that allows you to be comfortable for all of the other days during the holiday season and still be able to eat all the wonderful goodies rather than have to lose 15 pounds!

Get something hot to wear and go and have a good time! Hey at least she is making a honest man out of him! :-)

Hugs,

If its NOT all about you, then WHO will it be about?????? Those inconsiderate bastards. I mean, the NERVE of some people getting married and not giving you enough time. Fuckers.

I see your bestest friend is back to keep you company.

I'm pretty sure my thought process would have been pretty much the same. Sooo, go and buy a brand new dress and DON'T call it a Christmas present. :o)

Now pass the candy corn.

Ah yes. The selfish streak. Mine runs very strong...and comes out often.

Go to Macy's. That tight support choking hose will leave you cursing everytime you pee that night. I HATE that hose.

OMG, laughing my ASS off at this post!

I turn everything around to be about ME, too. :)

Might I recommend a good pair of Spanx? They come on several styles and colors. Klem and I are big fans.

Also, candy corns are tasty.
