Musings with OceanDawn

Whilst shopping at a self-proclaimed “galleria” I found the following – you decide your thoughts…

Fat people in clothes meant for models and/or slim women

Booty shorts with ashy black under the cheek – which also was nearly showing (some did show and I say barf)

Camel toe in twill shorts

Blue lipstick

Huge wedgies in large bottoms

Annoying Tweens with fart apps – even worse those that block walkways and are unruly

Tweens that dress alike

Six to eight inch pumps at the mall

Huge bottoms adorned in loud colors and prints

Skirts of chubby chicks that come a millimeter underneath the ‘cheeks’ – complete with awful tattoos down both legs and cellulite

Excessive tattoos on legs and arms (rather makes me rethink my love for them a tad) – you look like scratch paper because they don’t match and aren’t art

Very mature female with gold lame gilded looking pants and loud gold pumps with cleavage to her teeth escorted by what had to be her embarrassed son (she had to be over forty)

The invasion of weaves – the good and the bad

The dire need for Spanx in the general metropolitan area

If you are going to fund criminal enterprises and buy trademark infringing fakes – at least be intelligent enough to buy ones that look like what the imitated designer sells (and I say NO to fakes anyway!!!!) – you can’t just stick a Chanel logo on anything – DUH

The complete lack of grace and gentility in this supposed southern city

Few manners, even less class

The worst of breeding – even more, people who should never breed

Ostentatious with little if any substance

Loads of unseemly

Even more vulgarity

Horrible as it was – the big wedgie and several others had me in tears and unable to speak for a bit

I don’t understand – the world wide web to teach you how to dress yourself and you still fail…in such an epic way!

I’m being nice as this has not one picture! :)

Dorota

Dorota

Dorota is a servant to a rich brat.

She is the single pure character and my favorite…closely followed by Blair and then Lily.

She isn’t rich or well dressed – she actually is always in her uniform…at most with a coat – but her happiness and beauty show in her twinkling eyes.

I know it is a show but the scene between her and Blair on her wedding day was touching enough to key this soliloquy.

“I just want you to be happy Miss Blair” – I love this character. She does everything Blair asks – not because of duty but because she loves her. Purely.

I like pure and kind people. Everyone has an agenda that is seldom motivated by love or any noble purpose.

I have never been rich or had a servant but I have had many Dorotas. Kind women and men who were just kind to me – or no other reason than their hearts were pure and full of goodness God led them to pour on me.

In my past life – the majority of the kindness and favor was from the strangers…displaced from those closest to me, the Lord sent me a mighty host of wonderful people to minister to me as my needs were great…not just the traditional sense but also in the way the bible refers to angelic behavior…

A compliment when I was feeling low or unsure…

A tip when my baby needed diapers before payday…

A discount or special favor for being a good customer right on time…

Coworkers who showed me what a good spouse was like to a wife…

Brothers and sisters to confide in and who gave rebukes, consolation, encouragement, etc…

Employers who had no real reason to hire me…

Favor on top of favor…

Thank You Lord! :)

Grit

Grit

Firmness of character

Indomitable spirit

Pluck

I admire a little grit in a person.

It’s sad that young men today do not have the grit and determination of their forefathers.

My father has a reputation for grit and common sense. My grandfather was as well.

Protract

Protract

to draw out or lengthen, especially in time; extend the duration of; prolong

There isn’t a single person who wants a protracted illness.

His foolish antics were only protracting the timeline vice bringing about desired results.

Protracting can actually exacerbate bad matters and make them worse.

Can we protract the project life cycle beginning and ending dates so as to widen the scope and include more features required by the client?
