Copy cat

I can’t…
Change my own flat tire. Drink coffee without cream and sugar. Exist without coffee. Stay mad at my dog for more than 42 seconds. Resist drinking all the juice out of those lemon shaped things filled with lemon juice. Live without water, Jeff or chapstick.

I can..
Drive a stick shift car. Eat an entire frozen pizza. Sing that song that lists the United States in alphabetical order. Cook. Stand up for myself fairly easily. Be offensive with my outspokenness. Cook a mean pan of hashbrowns.

I won’t…
Ever agree with you that abortion is even sometimes OK. Believe you if you tell me you were using birth control properly and “just got pregnant.” Ever think Pepsi is better than Coke. Stand up for you if I think you’re wrong. Lie, cheat or steal to get ahead.

I will…
Always say what I’m thinking when I feel it’s important. Cry. Be loyal to my friendships and my relationship with Jeff. Smoosh my doggie’s face in the first 30 seconds I walk in the door. Again have a full time job, someday. Continue to volunteer for organizations I feel passionately about. Listen when people need to talk. Be the one updating my Twitter status far too frequently.

I shouldn’t…
Feel guilty or angry or blame the fact that I lost my job on myself; ever. Check the news or my email as frequently as I do. Get mad at Jeff for not understanding all things social like I do. Eat after 7, allow ice cream sandwiches in the house or drinks so much coffee. Be so gossipy. Stalk my old place of work’s website.

I should…
Get an oil change in the Mazda. Start writing a book. Be proud of myself more often. Work out (more.) Eat healthier. Enjoy this time without a full time job more. Always wear sunscreen.
