Or should I say frump! I woke up feeling that I wanted to be a dog, or a cat, or my snake, anything but me. It's hot and my hair is frizzy, my make-up melted off as fast as what I put it on. My noise shines like a brand new car. My size 10 pants that I bought as my "fat clothes" are too tight and I am very uncomfortable. I have been at work for 6 hours and haven't so much as lifted a finger. I cant stop yawning, or running to the loo. My coffee burnt my tongue and my salad tasted like cardboard. It's a Celine Dion day on the radio and they have played nothing else. She is starting to sound suspect! I submitted my medical insurance plan for next year and it is costing me almost a third of my salary each month. And all that for some pills that *might* work.
Anyone want to swap with me?

Frumpy is as Frumpy does...(I say in my best Forest Gump voice)....been there done that.
I'll trade with anyone for a day.
Take a walk in my shoes baby.
Take a walk on the wild side.
Now, I realize that you meant what you said in your post, but darlin, you are not a FRUMP. Far from it. Go home, and wash that slip sliding makeup off, put on something comfortable and hug the dogs......please keep the snake away from me though.......YIKES that is scary. I find it interesting that someone a tad bit afraid of spiders has a snake.......interesting.

wish I was warm...
all my jeans which were bought for fat day are tight- thanks, EfexxorXR for the 15 lbs in five months- glad I'm off you now...wish the weight would go back down...
dropped my Jeep off at the dealership last night (damn "check engine" light keeps going on and off) am supposed to be working from home on my laptop... got up this morning to plug it in and realized it is in the backseat of the Jeep. Had to admit it via email to my boss who surely thinks I'm a nitwit if not totallly insane by now.
am now using my last non-scheduled day off available 'til end of year...
hair so thin from old Depakoate use and last Efexxor XR use that I have to find a short hair cut to try...
should be cleaning house for SO's dad visit on Wednesday- Friday... too tired and fed up with myself over whole laptop/lost vacation day fiasco to lift finger one...
Add me to the cranky list...

Hi Sabrina,
I'll trade.
Please note my husband is away at a conference, so you don't get him. ;)
Good stuff
Two cats, one gecko.
Chilled chardonnay (not before dinner time, I promised my pdoc and T that I am cutting down- ha)
Size 6 or 8 pants, depending on the brand.
Over 180 channels of satellite programming, including Celine Dion free music.
Depression is in remission, so to speak.
Not so good stuff
No job. Yet another interview on Monday. Number 19 if the count is correct.
Pills that do work, but it's a massive dose of Effexor XR (300 mg, yikes!)
Bulimia. You must weigh yourself twice a day. The scale is balanced each time with a five pound weight.
Twice weekly water aerobics, including using weights. You don't have to use the five pounders, I also have three and four pound available. There is also an exercise bike in the basement that you can ride while doing laundry.
Dirty hair and body as I don't feel like showering and my husband won't be back for two days. Talk about frumpy.
Chilly, rainy weather.
Let's do this, I need a job so bad that I'll do yours. My brain is slowing dying from lack of use. I will even put up with Celine Dion.

Eww, what is with those days? I know exactly what you mean, right down to the running to the loo part.. and I get so cranky I almost wish someone would pick a fight with me so I could be justified in being so irritable
When I'm feeling like in tune with the universe Gabbi I use clary Sage, which really works! But when I'm not - so - in tune gabbi I smoke and take ativan and sleep through it :(

> A little hope for you, Effexor XR was the ultimate uglification pill for me, I gained 30 lbs in 3 months, but it came off really quickly after I stopped it, even though I switched to Paxil which is supposed to be worse for weight gain, a lot of the weight from effexor was water I think.

My sweet husband called it EFATSOR. I have been off of it for about a month now and my weight is still increasing. Uglification pill? Now that just made my day.
Had a screaming session with my mirror reflection this morning. Very bad! Called myself terrible names. Really know I am not supposed to do this but reasoning and logic were squashed by my fat. (This version's more gentle AdaGrace).
I have a colleague who is quite attractive (she is also the office sl-t). Now she has some serious image issues of her own. This morning was just the last straw when she strutted into my office, flicked her pretty hair over her tiny, toned shoulder and said "I feel so fat today". She caught me on my most acid side. I told her she doesn't know what fat means. I grabbed a handful of my underarm, almost the size of her thigh, shook it in her face and said THIS IS FAT and that when she looks like that, she can talk to me again.
Good grief, didn't know Sabrina could be such a b1tch.
Thanks all, for feeling frumpy with me.
Ada - you remembered I'm scared of spiders, when did I say that?
Poet - I'll trade with you gecko too - they are beautiful creatures and my next reptile pet.

Laptop was fine- in a reputable car dealership that was two miles away from my house! Jeep's fine- laptop's fine...
SO is just short for Significant Other. At 37, I feel REALLY strange using the term "boyfriend" and "sperm donor" or "salami slider" feels a little coarse (!!!!) Sorry, sick mood today !!
Have you got a better term???

SO will do. I used to say partner with my husband. Also didn't like boyfriend.
I call my son's biological father sperm donor because the only father my son will ever have is my husband.
But salami slider, now that cracked me up.
Thanks for the laugh ........ still feely soooooooooooo faaaaaaaaaaaat!!

lighten up, chiquita... and I DON'T mean on the scale...
Scales are a punishment from a media-driven society... don't believe the hype !
