Showing Your Wobbly Bits

Friday, July 31st, 2009

The other day I was going pee and I didn’t shut the door. Paige saw me and let out a huge gasp.

“MMOOOOMMMM!!!!”

You would have thought that I had committed some sort of crime in front of her. And perhaps I did [in her mind]. For a few seconds before covering her eyes, she saw the side profile of my lower half sans clothing, while on the toilet. Apparently, that’s enough to scar a teenager.

I got to thinking about that moment and why she was so freaked out about it and it donned on me … I WAS NEVER NAKED AROUND HER. EVER. I chalk it up to (a) being raised in a conservative Asian family (primarily by a single father) and (b) weird body/self-esteem issues but I never want to be seen in shorts, let alone nekkid. It’s just the way things were. (more…)

Crikey …

I am always surprised when I get a comment like this (from Ferris) – even though I really shouldn’t be surprised at all, especially after the whole Susan Boyle debacle.

Honestly, I love it when I get comments – good or bad. At least he/she commented to voice his/her disdain. To me, it’s like a cheering section that says, “I hate you, but I am going to read your blog anyway!” That’s the kind of dysfunctional love that’s been haunting me my whole life. I am glad to know that the universe can be consistent.

Anyway, like it’s some sort of shock to anyone that I actually write about things like PMS. Or God forbid – relationships. Or mommy stuff, like breastfeeding or places that sag after having kids. Or egads! Stuff like telling people how much I actually weigh!! I HAVE CLEARLY CROSSED THE LINES OF INTEGRITY HERE. TMI! TMI!

So in celebration of being a woman whose completely bowled over by sappy television commercials right now, I thought I’d share this an adorable, swoon worthy wedding proposal. I totally started to cry. You know, cause I am PMS-ing.
