I do it all. Get my valuable input on everything from politics to music to movie quotes to my favorite tv shows and websites. I'll add some things about home, family, marriage, kids, cooking. It's everything you never wanted to know about my crazy life.
I'm amusing
Published on May 9, 2008 By Locamama In Just Hanging Out

My life has been like a horror filled version of the Calgon commercial; the kids, the bills, the job search, the hubby (or lack of him) etc.  I've just been a big ball of anxiety lately. 

It's funny how one little comment can just make your day.  I've already been going through major life um...challenges.  I know I have been overly sensitive and can get my feelings hurt if someone says boo to me.  Not to mention dealing with the trauma of a probable Obama nomination - lol. 

Today I went to the library and did my usual yakkity yak with the clerk and she told me that I need to come back because ...I'm amusing.  It sounded extra impressive because she has a delicious British accent. 

That's my story of how one little comment made my day better.

my story of how one little comment made my day better

Isn't it lovely when it happens.  A kind word costs nothing and can bring so much joy to a person's day.  Why so many folk choose to be nasty instead is totally beyond me.

What would be a close approximation of it? Some british accents are like nails on a chalk board, but you are right, others are gooey sweet like a good Texas Drawl.

You are amusing. In a good way.

I hope things settle down and go your way soon. It's your turn for the good life.

It is a great thing.  We should all take time to thank people and compliment people as long as its sincere.   Nasty people are just miserable themselves and have to spread the misery around it seems.

I would do my imitation but it would be horrible and you couldn't hear me anyway.  Maybe I'll speak in a horrible fake British accent all day today fur fun.  She sounded like a voice recording actually.  We were joking that people didn't want to talk to her because they thought she was a recording.  Very smooth and professional, crisp. 

I hope things settle down and go your way soon. It's your turn for the good life.

Thanks Kelly.  I feel like things will be getting better soon.  Cream always rises to the top, right?

Being nice is the best thing to do. You always get back what you give.

Being British might make the following statement somewhat biased however i must say our accent rocks!

 I think you are an interesting person.

As you wrote a long time ago, we should get together and do karaoke!

Actually that is a good description. At least I know she was not an Eliza Doolittle.

I personally think you're a wonderful person with many talents Loca!

Thank you, Donna.  You are sweet.  Whenever I need someone to say something nice to me again, I'll just post here.  ~smiles

"come on dover, come on, come on dover, move your bloomin' arse"

Totally, we'll have to arrange it if we're ever on the same continent. 

I think you are an interesting person.

Thanks.

I agree.  I used to have a British teacher in grade school and I loved her class just because of her accent. 

Being nice is the best thing to do. You always get back what you give.

Not always but most of the time.

How wonderful it is when a little something like that can make your day.
