Contrary

My name should be Mary as I am quite contrary this morning.

 

Today, I don’t like the color of my hair, my living room or my car.  I do not like that my hammock chair gets wet in the rain and my husband’s does not.  I do not like any of my clothes.  I do not like my unaffectionate cats, which prior to today I considered an admirable trait.  I do not like green eggs and ham, whatever the hell that means, Dr. Seuss, if that’s really your name…

 

I am in a mood for a rip-roaring, get down, lay it down fight and no one will oblige me!  I don’t like that.

 

I want to be mad at someone who has wronged me, but no one will accommodate me and I don’t like that, either.

 

I want to be huffy, puffy, and blow someone, anyone outta the water!

 

Unfortunately, today is peaceful though rainy, and just generally pleasant.  AAAAARRGGHH!!

 

How’s a girl (and I use that term loosely!) supposed to be a raving maniac when nothing will go wrong?!

 

Mary, Mary, quite contrary " how did you get that garden to grow?

[Gee]

Mary, Mary, very contrary
how do ya hormones flow
"As raging torrents
I'm feeling abhorrent
now f#€k off before I land a blow"
Hi Carol, hope you are well. I like a good rant and this is one. More expletives please...

[Carol Cashes]

Okay, ya Freak, here goes: Menopause came and went in 2004, not hormonal. I have anger issues, some I consider my very best friends - blood circulation and all that, you know. Today's entry that I'm working on is a cautionary tale: be careful what you wish for! P.S. Ranting is best when there is an object to target, which was why I was so "contrary" yesterday. Nothing, I mean nothing and no one would step up!

[Carol Cashes]

Oh! Forgot the expletives: Step up! You f******g asshats, I'm loaded and ready to go with more Creative Cussin' than a seminar for censors on the difference between and "R" rating and a f*****g XXX one. Today has given me every damn thang you can imagine to irritate a pasty, middle-aged white lady who threw away her filters when she realized she was f******g old enough to talk any damn way she pleases, and has more than earned the right to do so! (I know, kinda mild, but *Al Pacino voice in Scent of A Woman* I'M JUS' GETTIN' STAH-TED!"

[Gee]

Yeahhhhhhh, glad Im across the pond

[Carol Cashes]

BWAHAHAHA! Yaassss....be very glad. Especially after you read Contrary II.

[Jimmy Yetts]

Am all-too-familiar with this inexplicably unruly attitude; was married, once.
AAAAARRGGHH!

[Carol Cashes]

Hey! AAAAARRGGHH! is my line! Some women are naturally sweet...I am not one. As Menopause came and went in 2004, it's not hormones, but just my onneryness comin' out. My mother used to say "You so mean, you gotta peench yourself!" That is probably true to this day!

[Jimmy Yetts]

No, not "hormonal," Carol; my ex was often "inexplicably unruly."
"Contrary" struck me as almost nostalgic.

[Carol Cashes]

Diplomatic, much? I can tell by your response that you have had dealings with illogical and unreasonable bad moods and have adapted to survive. Well done.

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

Sounds very like you have a bad case of the screaming meanies!Some days, S___T just happens...or it doesn't but just feels like it. I feel your frustration dear girl. Just turn some music on really loud, close the door and SCREAM! Works for me! The neighbors? Nah, not so much!:):)

[Carol Cashes]

*laughing* screaming meanies, with emphasis on the "meanies"! I don't really have neighbors, I live in a semi-rural community, but B. sleeps when he can, and I, ever the loving caregiver, would not disturb that because when he's overtired, he's a real God Of Sweetness and Light! But, today's entry is a cautionary tale: be careful what you wish for! I knew that another woman would get it, and not immediately blame it on hormones! Menopause came and went for me in 2004, so...unless THAT is trying to make a come-back, it most definitely was just meanness tryin' to get out! I told another reviewer that my mother would say to me: "You so mean, you gotta peench yourself!" I came close...real, real close!

[Carol Cashes]

P.S. When did I start using so many exclamation points? Next thing you know, I'll be yelling/typing CAPS!!!

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

Like ME!!!:))

[Adam Light]

Very interesting! I think I get it, and I like it. I've never read anything quite like this. It oozes personality. Maybe it doesn't represent who you really are deep down, but I would never assume that it's supposed to. A piece of writing speaks for itself.

[Carol Cashes]

I wouldn't have said it oozes "personality": as my mother would say "You so mean, you gotta peench yourself!" If you read Know Me, then you understand that anger is an old friend and we have worked out a deal. Today's entry is a cautionary tale: be careful what you wish for!

[AcasualPawn]

How’s a girl (and I use that term loosely!) supposed to be a raving maniac when nothing will go wrong?!

Well isn't there something like 'husband' there....... Lol

Nice one, keep on

[Carol Cashes]

If only! He's being UNBEARABLY sweet and is even cooking today in spite of the fact that he had a very invasive back surgery July 21st. I can't catch (or give!) a break today.

[AcasualPawn]

Ohhh well, you are blessed......

But you got reason right there in your words.... To be maniac......

[Carol Cashes]

*snort* You mean like laugh maniacally? Got that down....

[AcasualPawn]

Not, i mean raving maniac...

You should help yourself by proving more caring.. That is the last clue..

[Carol Cashes]

I'm actually a very caring person. That said, I also harbor much anger (my depression "symptom") and need something to yell about. (See Creative Cussin'). Some days I jus' don't fit my own skin. I'll be fine, it's already passing. But I appreciate you wanting to help me...as my mother would say "Ain't no hep for ya". Some days, that's the truth of it.

[AcasualPawn]

Iam just saying your husband is struggling with health and still cooking well he is caring.....

You just yell at him in carrrriiinnnngggg way.....
To rest more let you do the chores......
There you got your wish.... To yelllllllll.....

[AcasualPawn]

Well iam a teenager with not much experience so dont feel ofended...

[Carol Cashes]

Oh, no offense was taken. And my husband cooks to feel better, as well, he was told by surgeon to start being more active. I was having a brief pity party. You know, I may just delete this as as it's not a real representation of who I really, deep down inside of this thumping gizzard I have for a heart, am.

[AcasualPawn]

Well masked faker like me understands it better.....
