Silly, Silly Susan!

At yoga this morning my friend Susan set up next to me because she was concerned about last night's post and wanted to discuss it while we stretched. I immediately started running through the evening in my head...let's see; I worked on the pictures for my newest collection, got distracted in Photoshop, created and posted my prancing pic...was it possible I had posted some ridiculousness after that?


I thought hard for a bit, really straining my brain while waiting for class to begin. Nope, I decided; unless I have suddenly developed a crazy sleep blogging disorder, I posted the prancing picture last night but nothing else. Whew! But what was Susan concerned about....Oh dear, I love Susan dearly but sometimes I really wonder...

Me: So, what's up Suz?

Susan: Well, I don't know how to say this, but I'm your friend and....okay, here it is...

Me: [super worried I was about to get into some sort of intervention scenario...sure, I drink sometimes but not nearly as much as those kids on Jersey Shore...]

Susan: [blurting out super fast and extra loud] I think you have a delusional self image! [everyone in class paused mid sun goddess and stared]

Me: What in the world are you talking about Susan?

Susan: Well, I saw your post last night and I'm really concerned. I came this close to calling Dr Em about it.

Me: Are you talking about my Princess Prancing picture? The cartoon I posted last night?

Susan: Yes, Princess WeeWee. I'm very concerned.

Me: [pulling into tree pose] The cartoon?

Susan: Well, first there's your body - it's not your body! You're not that tall!

Me: Well, right. It's a cartoon.

Susan: And then, even more disturbing than adding a few inches to your height...You're cheerleading!!!

Me: Well, okay I get that...it's just that I have issues with hands and pom-poms cover them up so nicely.

Susan: You do remember that you have never been a cheerleader, right?  I don't want to sound mean but you know you could never pull off the routines, right?

Me: Uh, yeah I realize I'm not the most coordinated gal out there. [of course we're now moving into Half Moon pose, as if to underline the point] but Suz it's a cartoon...really I just chose a clip art figure that would be easy to put my head on and edit in some fun prancing moves.

Susan: Oh, WeeWee you are in such denial. Maybe I should call Dr. Em.

Me: Okay. Good class, suz. See you next week.

Susan: [shakes her head as if she thinks I'm doomed]

  1. Now show us Half Moon pose. That sounds interesting.

  2. This is funny! Of course, it's rather difficult to relate to your post because, unlike you, Princess WeeWee, I look just exactly like my cartoon self. ;-)

    1. Really? All your personalities look the same? If I had cool multiples like you I'd totally make them all different...like one would look exactly like Magic Johnson circa 1980.

  3. You were fabulous in synchronized swimming, very coordinated, and you remembered all the routines perfectly. If it weren't for the sinus infection you would have been a star.

    1. Well of course...the whole trick of that sport is to move verrrrrrry slowly and there's no evil gravity.

  4. *chuckles* Next time twitch and smile and ask "Why so serious?" or something equally creepy.

    I've discovered answering strange questions (or even normal questions) with odd answers makes life more interesting for everyone! Like when I took a day off for a doctor's appointment, and a co-worker asked me what I was going in to have checked, and I explained that I was having issues with some of the circuits in my back panel, and I might need a hardware upgrade.

    1. Yes, people often find my delusions entertaining. It's a good thing they make me giggle too. :p
