Random Thought For The Day.

I was in the shower this morning, where I do my best thinking, and I came up with a question. 
Why do guys find it mortifying to purchase feminine hygiene products?  I don't understand where the embarrassment comes from.  Everyone who sees them KNOWS the box of tampons they are carrying are not for them!  The truth is that carrying around a box of tampons, or a bag of maxi pads makes guys look like a superstar!  All other guys who see Maxi Pad Man are thinking, "Rock on, Bro!"  And all the women who see Mr. Tampon Guy think, "Oh he's so sweet!!"  It's a win win situation for any guy on a tampon/pad run.
If you want to talk about purchase embarrassment, try being a woman buying Monistat, or Vagisil. 
For some reason, this is always the day when Super Hot Cashier Guy makes his debut appearance.  Where was he last week when I was buying party supplies for a friend's birthday??  We could have had check out chitchat like, "Hey, we are having a little party tonight.  You should stop by after your shift."
But no, he is here on Monisat/Vagisil day, when the only possible check out chitchat would be, "Hey, I have crotch rot.  That's hot, right?!?"
I don't know why I was thinking about these things this morning.  No, it's not because any of these situations just happened to me.  I guess that's just where my kookie brain is pondering around today.  Isn't it fun being me?!?!

The Antidote To My Pride

My last post was a rant, and I have to say that it did what it was meant to do.  It gave me an outlet, and I felt MUCH better about life in general after I blew my steam.   I joyfully resumed my position, and all was good in my little world.  :-)

My dear friend, Ginny, sent me this video yesterday.  Above the link she wrote:  Made me think of you. 
I won't lie, it made me tear up.  It humbled me.  Most of all, it made me feel like a super hero!  (How can you be humbled and feel like a super hero at the same time??)   Everyone who is privileged to know Ginny, knows that she is an amazing woman.  Full to bursting with kindness, wisdom, and love.  Always seeing the bright side before anyone else does, and always accepting of others.  (I'm not saying she's perfect, none of us is, I'm just painting a picture.)   For her to watch this video, which has a message that is beautiful beyond measure, and think of me... WOW!  I am a humble super hero!  :-)

I encourage everyone to watch it.  It's less than six minutes long, so it's not going to eat a chunk of time out of your day.  Who knows, maybe you will find your inner humble super hero here too.
