I am stubborn.
Maybe it’s all that irish blood cursing through my veins, inherited trait from my mother or just good old fashioned pig-headedness. Whatever the reason or source I am as stubborn as they come.
What makes it worse is the other charming characteristics I team my stubborn side up with. There is complete and utter lack of patience. This little beauty runs rampant at work. I can not fathom why it takes someone 2 days to respond to my emails. So, I carry on without them. Cause let’s face I am always right so there is no need to wait for them to confirm my suspicions. The reason diets don’t work is not my love of all things carbohydrate by my impatience. If I decide to lose weight, the next morning I step on the scale and shock, horror I am not at my goal weight. I console myself with a bagel.
If stubborn and impatience weren’t the perfect couple, I invited don’t-tell-me-what-to-do to make it a happy threesome. This one is probably the worst. Even when I know something is not going to end well, I am not backing down. I’ll prove you wrong even if it takes me 10 years. I’ll be right eventually.
Luckily I was given a wicked sense of humor, great hair and amazing gift picking ability to counteract my dark qualities. Otherwise, quite frankly I won’t be cute and funny but a bitch. There are people out who are shaking their heads thinking cute and funny? Ah, haven’t seen much of that. Well, to you I say, try returning an email in a timely fashion. If it wasn’t for these three pesky traits I could have (you are welcome) been perfect. But no one is perfect, I sleep easy each night knowing I come damn close.
When someone points out a grammatical error on my blog, my first instinct is to use it like I did hairspray in 1987. Then I took a deep breath, a big swig of gin vodka, slapped my ass and thought what would CJ Cregg do?
I am not changing my blog, using spell-check, proofreading or checking facts. I like all my little errors, they add character, make me endearing and what’s a blog without character? Well it’s boring.
You wonder what CJ Cregg would do?
I never liked gin.
Can we make it vodka?
P.O.M
CJ Cregg is a character in the West Wing ... if that's what the ? was for, it is for my choice, I was feeling underpressure and impatient to pick someone. I was going for witty, smart and female. I drew a blank!
CJ would kick marny's butt! did i spell that right?
I read the part about your blood "cursing" through your veins and laughed out loud. Then I read about you refusing to use spell check and decided that your blog ends up being even more fun that way.
:)
Someone dared to point out an "error" ?? HORROR. What in the world are they thinking?? I was also born with that not backing down, I'm always right gene. Thank God I have great hair too. :D
LMAO at your response. I wood of dun the same thing.
People pick out grammatical errors in your blog? Ummm... have a life much? (&& love the hairspray part!)
you only have 3 bad qualities...god you're amazing, I have like 10 but will only admit to about 2...so maybe that makes me more perfect than you? YES! wait maybe that's the overinflated ego problem...hmm oh well.
