Okay this is more for laughs but damn it, if you can't laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at?
Thank God my friends are such great inspiration for topics.
We were talking this morning about wanting things that are not good for you or things you cannot have. This is a rather broad topic don't you think? We decided that wishing for those things in your life is a bit like birthday cake. I don't know about you, but birthday cake is one of my favorite things. And my biggest dilemma is always the morning after the birthday when there is half the damn cake sitting on the counter.
I love cake on the counter because it makes me feel like a great mom. I always picture homes with great moms having tons of baking, happy kids, you know- Utopia. But that cake is always right there. Tantalizing, and tempting. You love having it around just for the enjoyment of it, but really, you just want to eat it. What would really work for me would be a 3D picture of the cake. Just so I could have it around but not be tempted to lick it.
Those of us who love "birthday cake", Okay, let's just call it that for now, either get very self destructive and want nothing but "cake" all the time or you slide that puppy right into the garbage and make sure you get some of last nights dinner on it so that you don't look like a character in a Seinfeld episode. Sometimes what we want, is not what we need girls, or if it is what we need, maybe the birthday cake actually belongs to someone else. And having it around staring at you all the time, not being able to enjoy it, is just another version of self torture.
So if you are lucky, you can have your cake and eat it too. Sometimes you just have to stand at the counter a while and check out some pretty tasty models, miss a few as someone ahead of you takes the slice you wanted. And then all of a sudden you spot the perfect slice. Or you summon up your willpower, grab a piece of fruit, walk and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine instead. Life is just a miriad of funny choices isn't it?
It doesn't all have to be cake, right? Have a fantastic Friday everyone!
In love and laughs,
Kathryn
