sorry i've been so quiet. guess i could lay it on work, or being tired when i get home, or trying to stay away from blogging long enough to finish reading a book i started weeks ago...this blogging stuff can become very habitual.
so here goes...7 random things about me (you may be sorry you tagged me)
1. i absolutely hate my skin at this age. it's not my face, 'cause i kinda expected it to get craggy and stuff...but it's the rest of the body that disgusts me! the saggy arms, the 36-long boobs, the brown age spots, and worst of all...the belly. always had trouble controlling the belly after kids, but this is ridiculous! 'course, if i'd get off my ass and do some walking/running/more bike-riding, it might help.
2. i was never racist until i lived in dc for 13 years. there's an attitude here that i never saw in California. i always thought african americans were intriguing because i really didn't know many. having worked with them the last 8 years has been a real eye-opener. i doubt there are many other places in the US where their attitude is so bad. seems they truly believe they're owed something!
3. i'm a glutten when it comes to potatoes. mostly mashed, but baked are a close second. guess i could be called a 'potato woman', as opposed to a 'meat & potato man'.
4. i generally thank God on a daily basis for stuff...for feeling good, for not hitting a pedestrian that darts out in front of me (happens a lot downtown), for not hitting the asshole who pulled out in front of me (generally a cab), for beautiful weather, gorgeous sunsets, spring...the list goes on.
5. i would like to date, but men my age are too old. it's funny that women younger than me date men my age...yuk! it would be difficult to date because i wouldn't want to lose any chance of my ex not giving me my due when he dies! not that he'd give a shit that i dated, but just that he's vengeful enough to make sure i wouldn't get his retirement or SS, even if i just dated. trust me, he'd find a way to cut me out.
6. i got 5 tickets from one cop in one stop. i beat all 5 in court, representing myself. the cop was a total dick! the judge must have known that. the judge was a woman.
7. i wish i had finished college, and gone on to become a lawyer. i would have only represented women scorned by their asshole husbands. i'd have been wealthy!

These are some of the best comments that I have read in a tagging!
The African American thing, yep, I agree. Sorry to ever is reading this. Well, not really.
Dick Cops? Glad to see that someone beat one out.
Your ex? Well, I wish that you could beat him out like that cop. He sounds like a dick too.
Thanks for doing the tag.
thanks, ma... i knew you wouldn't let us down. me and WM, i mean. heh.
#1 re: the belly. i remember you blaming me for it when i was a kid. "see this! this is your fault!" still love you tho.
#2 re: DC blacks. yup. we truly lived a sheltered life in socal.
#3 re: no shit.
#4 guess i need to start being more thankful and doing less bitching.
#5 i don't blame you. men are yucky. and i understand that about da, just had no idea that was a reason you didn't date.
#6 that fucking asshole. i remember that morning...
#7 yup. i wish i had GONE to college. i could have done something interesting with my life. however, i have always wanted children, so i would have had to take a break regardless of this one...
great one, ma! :)
Whoa! Thanks, WM and MOFM! Glad you could stomach some of that stuff...it's kinda fun dredgin' it up now and then.
Yeah, about the ex...had i had my wits about me when it all went down, i'd likely be a wealthy woman..either that or been in jail.
This is a great post!
