Born Again Barbie



How come 'Go to Work Barbie' has that same shit eatin grin as 'Disco Barbie'!? What is this girls secret? My 'Go to Work' grin looks more like a constipated Llama being force feed a block of cheese.

i have every intent to carry a positive attitude throughout my day but i tell yah, it is hard not to get wrapped up in the pressures and the relationship misfires with those around us.

Yesterday was my first day back to work after a lovely 7 days off, 7 days of putting together outfits, squeezing toothpaste, hair & body gel through miniature packaging. Generally i have found that the first day back is basically all the stress and pressure of the prior week crammed into 1 brutal day. however, going into this day, I had a pep talk w/ the person whom I like to call Vacation Todd.  

Yes! I have coached this man, to not succumb and breakdown to the daily minutia we call Life.  My goal for Vacation Todd is to stay put & to never meet the wrath of  Stressed out Todd, a nasty dictator of a man who'd cover a rainbow in oil if he felt it would dull the pain.

Stressed out Todd:

"submit Vacation Todd, you are powerless......ha ha ha!"

Vacation Todd:

"not with these Wonder Woman bracelets, I will Deflect , Stop, Drop & Roll....tee hee hee!"


Stressed out Todd:

"damn you Vacation Todd, your powers are stronger than i thought, i will flood your email and turn your office into a Merry Go Round of Problem Solving......ha ha ha!"

Vacation Todd:


"I'm taking a Me moment, going to walk these boots around the block.....Peace Biatch...tee hee hee!!"

I shaved off Vacation Todd's feeble attempt of a beard today.  7 days growth of facial hair being allowed to run wild. I began to like it....made me consider changing careers, by putting on a Mu-Mu and opening up a candle shoppe.  I think I would carry a miniature gong, and slap it every time someone would make a purchase........wouldn't that be fun!?

  1. the vacation beard is the ultimate symbol of the noose tied to the necks of the working class. Let it grow! or not, but allow it life now and again. Of course I prefer my partners clean shaven but I'm the beard around here! (read that however you wish.)

  4. I know exactly what you mean but Vacation Donna finally won and I quit that high stress job for one that keeps me from eating cat food and still leaves me with enough sanity to enjoy life. I highly recommend it!
