I think I’m PMSing, so you’d better watch out. I get pretty volatile. And right now I’m ENRAGED. It’s not my fault, though. Some horrible things have happened to me. Instead of exploding, I’m sharing them with you now. Hold on to your fedoras....

First, I sat down to read the comics this morning and Sarge beat the living snot out of Beetle Bailey AGAIN. I’m sorry, but the humor found in the cyclical abuse of a defenseless underling by an authoritarian figure is lost on me. People living in abusive relationships must really yuck it up when they see that, huh? I mean, jeez! If I wanted to get depressed I’d be reading Funky Winkerbean. Throw the handcuffs on Sarge and lock him up already. Sheesh!

Later, on  Who Wants to be a Millionaire, Meredith Viera was  so much more sadistic than usual. She did the whole, ‘I’m not sure if that’s the right answer’ frowny face thing, only to morph into a giggly grin and say, “That’s right!” thing almost every single time. For God’s sake, woman, stop playing with our emotions! My sanity is hinged on the knowledge that Damascus is the capital of Syria. Don’t mess with me!

Then there’s my microwave. 4 minutes and 23 seconds to reheat four ounces of pasta primavera? Really? Either the special heating sensor fairies think I have a steel - coated esophagus or they’re out to get me. Strike that. I KNOW they’re out to get me.

Then to top things off, that stupid 1980s Pantene commercial featuring Kelly LeBrock saying, “Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful” keeps playing in my head. I didn’t hate her because she was beautiful. I hated her because she was narcissistic enough to say that in front of a camera. Have some humility, will ya?

BTW, that Eighties hair doesn't look so beautiful now, does it, Ms. LeBrock? I bet eight or nine squirrels could live in those massive curls of wonder. 

Whoa. Sorry. That was really snarky. Blame in on the PMS...

Anyway, now I’m sure you understand why I’m a little off today. There’s only so much riciulousness I can handle. Now I going to scoop some peanut butter out of the jar with my bare hands and dip it into a bag of chocolate chips.

I wish I had read this BEFORE I went to the hairdresser and asked her to give me a “Kelly LeBrock Perm.”

I am SO there with ya, lady! Every month I fly into fits of rage and indignance and I believe I'm entirely justified.

Then the next day I get my period. And some perspective. :)

There's a reason they call it 'the curse'! Being female can be such a pain in the butt.

I'm smiling as I recall what PMS was like. Thank goodness I no longer suffer from it.

You know, families, boyfriends -- they are the real victims here. Poor things. I'm going to go yell at them now... ;)

Janene, leave it to you to find humor even in PS. Hope you're back to your usual, cheery self today.

Without humor my life would be a sorry state of affairs. I'm sure it will be back on track soon. Thanks!

I wondered how many guys would brave through the whole post. Count yourself as one of the brave ones!

I hear you...its amazing how much havoc a little hormone can do. I slow down on days I am not feeling up to it.
BTW, I love the photo ;) I hope you are feeling better soon!

Amazing, indeed! And totally unfair. BTW, I love that photo, too. Yowsers!

My Dad used to say this (old saying) "You wouldn't be happy even if you were hung with a new rope". Which I thought was a very terrible thing to say, but he made his point. It's days like today where nothing is going to get by you and you won't be pleased. I think a good old fashioned beer or soothing music or a good belly laugh can help dispel you blues.

PMS is no laughing matter. Your hormones are all a rage and your balance can be thrown off. Soothing comfort food would be nice, macaroni and cheese and chocolate milk. Give it a try.

Feel better. But you do make some valid points in your post. Cheers!

So true, Theresa! Those are all good ideas, too. I have to confess, I over-exaggerated my symptoms a little. Could you tell? ;) I also confess that the whole Beetle Bailey getting beaten up by Sarge always struck me more as creepy and sad than funny.

Ack I always hated that silly Kelly LeBrock commercial.

You are right, her hair does not look so hot now, as a matter of fact, it kind of looks like Broccoli, Kelly LeBroccoli?

Kelly LeBroccoli?

YES!! You are a genius, my dear!

Don't fret about Kelly LeBrock. 7 years married to Steven Segal have given Kelly her 'just desserts' and triple helpings by the look of it. Just click my name to follow the link to a picture of Kelly, NOW and back in WEIRD SCIENCE.

Alas, she has put a few pounds on over the years. I have, too. The biggest shock for me was how creepy Steven Segal looks now. I always thought he was a bit 'off.' (Still watched his movies, though.) ;)

I used to watch his movies to. :)

Guess age gets to the best of us.

Ian, I was thinking I couldn't decide which one looked better today. Segal or LeBrock and your link helped me solve that one. lol

Very cute post Janene and can relate!

Segal vs. LeBrock. Can't say either brought their 'A' game. Doubt I'd measure up well against my 25 year-old self, though. :)

Glad you liked the post, Angie.
