HALF E
MPTY OR HALF FULL?I would like to take this opportunity to introduce a new feature that occasionally will be appearing:-
WARNING: For those of you eternally positive the glass is half full types clad in your rose coloured glasses humming 'The sun will come tomorrow' this is not for you. You may stop reading now. You can still save yourself. However those of you who occasionally like to embrace your inner petty cynical side, please read on. You know who you are. Most people do.
This new feature will be called Cathy's Complaints and in effect I will share some things that annoy the hell out of me. Sound like fun? I am very good at this: just ask my kids. Apparently my general skepticism and cynicism is alive, healthy, and quite active. And lucky for you, I feel the need to share such observations with you. You are welcome to add your two cents worth in the comment section although only if you either commiserate with me or add your own new personal complaints. Whining and bitching quite welcome. Encouraging and proactism; not so much.
Look for this exciting new feature coming soon!
Let's face it: it will probably rain somewhere tomorrow. And there's a hole in your boot and you left your umbrella on the bus. And singing 'The sun will come out tomorrow' will not make the rain dripping down your neck feel any less uncomfortable.

CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS EXCITING NEW FEATURE!!! (HMMMMMM, BUT I HAVE BEEN WAITING.....AND WAITING.....AND WAITING....
Does this absence of posting indicate you have been complaint free of late? ;-)
Do you take suggestions? An inventory of irks? A conglomeration of complaints?
=)
Kate!!! You have made my day! No my entire week! I cannot tell you how wonderful it is to see you here!!!! I feel freshly inspired and will have a new update soon. I LOVE your 'inventory or irks and conglomeration of complaints.' I take and all...........
....and hahaha on the absence indicating a complaint free Cathy. Not this girl...there ain't any 'Secret' pop-positive Oprah-esque self-help rosy affirmations coming from this mouth, mind, orvcomputer........nope....just plenty of cynical eye-rolling observations and whining. I was at the doctor's today and get this...in his waiting room was a magazine entitled Skeptical. I kid you not. In the DOCTOR'S OFFICE. The one frigging place I want to be deluded into thinking everything is fine. Okay I'm now rambling so I will go with the promise that there will be a new post in the next few days.
Kate's here!!! :) :) :)
well, better to have "Skeptical Magazine" there, than "Malpractice Digest", I suppose :-P
and awrrr, I'm glad you are pleased to see me here =) I finally got a chance to catch up on my emails and saw your blog link in the email you sent me last month ... I figured it was time for me to invade, erm, visit your blog ;-)
Oh, btw, when I read your comment "there ain't any 'Secret' pop-positive Oprah-esque", for some reason I saw it as "pop Secret" and I was momentarily confused about how microwave popcorn became involved ... *sigh* that's what happens when I come online late in the day ... brain drain meets eye strain :P
Pop secret? You thought of microwave popcorn....not pop tarts??!!
I see what you mean regarding brain drain meets eye strain (especially aging eye strain) when I reread over my last comment to you and saw all my errors.
Anyway have any idea how to edit comments? Anyone? Anyone?
Cathy...can't wait to read this latest feature!!!
I am also pleased to see I am not alone in neglecting to post anything all summer. :)
