Keeping up with the Jones.

Something has been bothering me lately. What is the deal with people who feel that the appearance of their reality is much more important than the reality of their reality. It is kind of like telling people "while I may have a rectum it is non functioning". Everyone has problems. No one is perfect.

If you are a normal human being you are probably not following my train of thought because to be quite honest it derailed a long time ago. Let me slow down.

I am not a person that gets all dressy matchy when I go out. I like to look nice and all but to be quite honest it just isn't very high on my priority list. I feel that if I have bathed and put on things that are clean, match and are season appropriate it is a great day.

Others would never dream of leaving the house without ironing their outfit and rolling their hair. This is not what bothers me. This is fine. If this is what makes you feel better and you enjoy getting dressed and fabulous then by all means go right ahead. The part that bothers me is when you have spent the 3 hours getting ready, weeks picking out the perfect outfit and when some one compliments you on your appearance you say. "What this? Oh, this is trash. I couldn't find a thing to wear. or Oh, I look horrible."

I shall insert a sound that my husband's family likes to use when they are wanting to be silly. It is kind of like when you pass gas and it sounds like your rear is asking a question. We will spell it Bwuh?

God made you the way you are for a reason. There will be things you have in common with people and you may be completely opposite on another topic with that exact same person. It is okay! You are you, not them. If you enjoy mayonaise, peanut butter, lettuce on white bread, be proud of that. Don't change your opinion for the people you are around.

I don't know who the Jones are, at least the ones that everyone is talking about because to be quite honest they have their issues too, and I can guarandagontee you they have to poo and it stinks. I'm just saying.

Please remember that it is okay to not be perfect. It is okay to not have done something first and it is okay to have problems. If you want everyone to assume you are perfect the only thing you are doing is creating a game where they find out how you're not perfect because none of us are!

Have a great day!
