I have so many thoughts that I could be here forever writing down them all down, but decided to be nice and spare you my mundane ramble. Well....no promises.
I want to start my stating, “Chivalry is almost dead.” With the exception of my brothers, and the Amen boys (shout out to Mama Kim and my mama who raised them so well), men really don’t treat women with respect and gallantry. It honestly breaks my heart. What happened to bring me such frustration you ask? Well, let me tell you a little story about a good looking…jerk. This morning, I was running two minutes late to work, and I was hurrying more than usual. Ahead of me was a guy that looked to be a contractor of some sort. I know he works in my building because I have seen him park his truck, and he takes up two parking spaces! Rude. Anyways, this guy is in his late twenties, and one would think his mama taught him manners, but he got to the door before me, and didn’t hold it open! I almost walked into it. Right behind me were a mother and little girl who were going to the dentist. They almost walked into me. It was like this falling domino scenario (but thankfully without the falling). I didn’t say anything, just rolled my eyes and walked into the lobby. As fate would have it, he missed the elevator and had to ride up with all of us. He got off before us, and I, in typical Mary Katherine niceness said, “Have a great day!” He said….NOTHING. The mom riding with me kinda shook her head, and I said, “I’m sure he at least thought about responding.” She then told me, “I had doubts about his chivalry when he didn’t hold the door open for you this morning, and now this had just added to my belief that he is not at ALL a gentleman.” I nodded and went on my way. However, this little situation really has had me thinking about modern day gentlemen and how much they are lacking. Remember Mr. Darcy?! Elizabeth said, “If you had behaved in a more gentleman like manner!” He then left and wrote her a letter explaining everything. (You have to read Pride and Prejudice!!!) My point being…her rebuke…though scathing…made him consider his actions, and he resolved to do something about it. Should I have told Mister high and mighty what we women were thinking? I don’t know, but next time I see him, and he asks like a twerp . . . there will be retribution, and I can’t be responsible with what comes rolling off my tongue (crossing myself.)

I went to the dentist. And because the dentist was so cool, he allowed me to take pictures of myself in various states of misery. I posted them on facebook, but then my sister called me and told me that the just were very attractive. She’s worried that some guy will be interested in me, and the up-close shot of my cavity ridden molar will be a big turn off. Go Figure. So, I took them down because she had a good point. But I can’t help it, and I have to post them here. I think it’s funny.
I have to say right now that my siblings complete me. Tuesday nights have been my night to hang with lobo (Laura Rebekah). She got married this past April and is very much enjoyed the newlywed life. She married an amazing man who treats her well. Makes me happy. Anyhoo...Ryan (her husband) is attending Bible school and while he is there, I come over and watch certain shows - Gossip Girl, Castle and Jeopardy. LOVE LOVE love those shows. Have I mentioned that I found my future husband......
Hello Chase Crawford. I think I love you. And your sparkly blue eyes. And your kissable lips. Sigh* Sorry for my wayward thought, but have you SEEN the man!?
I think I'm going to end with that. I believe that there really isn't anything I can say that will top the smoldering glare Chase is directing toward me. Good night my friends. Sleep tight and dream of large women. (NAME THAT MOVIE!)
