O is for Oprah

The other day I picked up an Oprah magazine. I haven't read a girlie magazine in who knows how long, so I just decided to buy Oprah's. I have to support the sista. hee hee. Last night as Ed was flipping through tv channels I was reading an article(s) about 10 different women who decided to change one thing in their lives and see how it affected them. One lady was really negative, one was high anxiety, one was a big know it all, one was impulsive, etc..etc.. So then I got to thinking about myself and if I had Oprah pay for counseling what would I try to change. Obviously, I couldn't find anything to change (HA! It's my mother's fault for making me think I'm 100% perfect).

So then I asked Ed 'I have a good personality, right?' and he shook his hand and said 'eh' (as if it was so so). I said 'Thanks a lot, Ed. I have a really low self-esteem and when you answer a question like that it's not helping. The next time I'm drunk and crying it's because of your answer right now!' and I started laughing. He said 'I bet your self esteem would skyrocket if you put down that Oprah magazine.' He could say anything and I would go on thinking whatever I want to think. I guess that's good and bad.

I think those magazines can be good because sometimes there are stories that you can relate to, and try to get help if you need to, but other times, you see the models, and the people with the fancy perfect lives (Oprah herself), and you can start feeling down about your own life. I don't know why I picked it up. I guess I just wanted to read something new and see what people are talking about. The best part of the magazine, is that there are a lot of book reviews. Felicity Huffman does one, and many of the other authors mention books and their plots. So, I will be going to the library or bookstore in the near future. So much for changing my personality. Humph!
