But What if I Don’t Want My World Rocked?

Shatter your self-imposed limits!!! The process of change touches almost every area of your life and paradoxically challenges you to establish a long-term plan.

This is my horoscope for 2010. I’m a Capricorn, which means I’m not used to seeing horoscopes like that one. Capricorns are the Poindexters of the Zodiac. We’re practical, predictable. In fact, we goatheads are downright boring, astrologically speaking.

So, true to my Capricornian nature, I have no intentions of shattering anything in 2010. Baby steps, small improvements are my plans for this year. New carpet instead of a new house. Call people more, Facebook less. More yoga, less working through lunch. More vegetables, less red meat. Love more, complain less.

I am also completely ignoring a book I received for my birthday: “Skinny Bitchin’ – A Get Off Your Ass Journal to Help You Change Your Life, Achieve Your Goals and Rock Your World!”

I don’t want my world to be rocked. I like my world as it is. I also don’t want my ass kicked by a skinny bitch. FYI, the Skinny Bitches are two writers who look like Barbie dolls. Their claim to fame is a tough-love diet book. Here’s a pearly nugget from their latest tome: “Whatever you’ve been dying to do or try but have been too scared, today is the day! Carpe diem, bitch!”

Sooooo happy not to be sitting a cubicle away from this person. I’d be dying to kill her.

Corpus delicti, bitch!

Which ex-friend gave you that book for your birthday?

Actually it wasn’t an ex-friend at all. It was my beautiful stepdaughter, who thought I’d get a kick out of the book. B, if you’re reading this, I am getting a huge kick out of the book. I just thought the Bitches needed some backsass.

I am sooo NOT into self-help or inspirational books. Still have flashbacks of my dad insisting I read Og Magdino and Dale Carnegie when I was a kid. But that one you got has, at least, an amusing title.

Add Another?
