buxom. or not.

Main Entry:	buxom

see that bit at the end? you got it! and i know it is an alphabetized list, but still, does flat really have to be first? must it be there at all?

let's investigate that entry, shall we?

Main Entry:	flat
Part of Speech:	adjective
Definition:	level, smooth
Synonyms:	collapsed, complanate, decumbent, deflated, depressed, empty, even, extended, fallen, flush, horizontal, laid low, low, oblate, outstretched, pancake*, planar, planate, plane, procumbent, prone, prostrate, punctured, reclining, recumbent, splay, spread out, supine, tabular, unbroken

i'm liking pancake*. and after that list, i completely understand depressed and deflated. thank you Thesaurus.com. as if the world wasn't full enough of big boobied women stuffed under my nose on television or in various other media venues, now i get to read about them during my studies. look at this! even the less physical entry lends itself to a poor reflection of self:

Main Entry:	flat
Part of Speech:	adjective
Definition:	dull, lackluster to the senses

we start off grandly with dull and move right along to some winners: banal, blah, bland, and boring. how about stale? or tedious? and vanilla*? i don't even like vanilla, thank you.

oh! let's make sure to get that last line in. we non-buxomettes are definitely not bubbly, effervescent, or sharp!

and to think, i was just looking up a synonym for plump.

a few of my favorite things...

specifically, this post is about two of my favorite things:
socks.




and vegetables.










no, no, no! not vegetables in socks. that would be gross. and probably rather messy if you didn't use raw ones. (raw vegetables, not raw socks. although, since i have never cooked my socks, i guess they are raw as well. but i digress...)

my favorite things are best enjoyed separately, however i have been known to simultaneously enjoy the wearing of raw socks while enjoying the eating of vegetables, raw or otherwise. again, back to my point...

i cannot remember how long ago i came across the website Sock Dreams, but i keep going back. they really do have great socks. well, great socks for people who hate plain old white socks. people like me!

see, those are good for the gym. (afterall, why would you want to stinkify your Fantastic Socks?) but as a wardrobe choice...??? how good do a plain old pair of white socks look? with anything? even gym shoes? now, don't get me wrong. white socks can be fabulous. for instance, these:




are all good examples of UNplain white socks, the charming, sexy choices which highlight the femininity of your feet. some women like sexy panties. or striking lipstick. i like Sexy Socks.

onward to vegetables...

when you live in a house of carnivores, convincing them to try the bounty from the earth can be quite a harrowing experience. (i have even had broccoli thrown at my head!)

so rarely do i get to indulge my passion of consuming exquisitely prepared vegetables, i have had to resort to window shopping. i can often be found in the produce section caressing cucumbers while eyeballing eggplant, tickling tomatoes while surveying spinach...(i'll stop. sorry.)

i fantasize. i live vicariously through various websites i have come across looking for recipes on the rare occasions i am alone and can cook a meal of my choosing. such as VeganYumYum. i actually got a chance to make the lasagna a month or two ago, and i have to agree. YumYum!

there you have it. one day, i am sure you will find me happily preparing some exotic vegetable something-or-other while wearing Sexy Socks...you know, when i am 60 and all my kids have moved away.
