Septic Tank

So.....remember this?

Basically I had serious plumbing issues, and in the process of fixing them, my dad and I unearthed the old septic tank that was used years ago ( my house is 70 yrs old). The boards that were covering the tanks were rotted and my dad almost fell through them, which is why he decided we needed to recover them with weather treated wood, etc.

Well I haven't gotten around to it yet, so I have a huge gaping whole in my back yard. I have to dig out the rest of the rotting wood and frankly, I have much funner things to do. Besides this is in my back yard....so noone sees it.

The other day I was feeling ambitious and decided to bite the bullet and uncover the poo bin. 

Then I lost my balance.

And fell in.

Head first.

Into the poo bin.

Yes, I cried.

Times like these are when I decide I want a husband. So that HE can uncover poo bins and stuff.

Here is a war wound from the fall.

Stop it.

I was at the store today trying to look for a cute shirt. Failed. While I was looking, a dad was telling his daughter "Get out of the lady's way." LADY? When have I become a lady and not just a girl! I mean, I know I'm 29 and not a teenager anymore - but a LADY?? This also goes along with my hatred for people who call me ma'am instead of MISS. There should be rules for these titles, such as only using the title of ma'am to those awesome women who are over 50.

Why does this bother me so? I know not. I don't mind getting older. To be honest, its GREAT. I am able to be independent, have a career and be single - I can do what I want, when I want, with whomever I want, HOW I want. Maybe its the fact that I don't have any children, or a husband or things of that sort, so it makes me jump when I am called Ma'am or Lady. Or maybe its because I give my boyfriend wet-willies and bring whoopie-cusions to work that make me feel more like a MISS and not a MA'AM. I'm still young. I will forever be young - even when I'm 85.

I guess its undeniable. I must accept that I am a Ma'am. The below is what I found on wickipedia:

Usage of "Ma'am" is common in the United States and in Western Canada. In the past the term was in theory to be used only for married women, but it has become common courtesy to use this term for all adult women, rather than to attempt to presume a marital status based on age or other appearances. The term formerly in common usage for unmarried women, "Miss," is now usually reserved only for children and young ladies of school age, for extremely formal usage in which the woman's marital status is known, or if the woman in question has made it known that that she prefers said term.

BLAH BLAH BLAH

I guess there are a few other evidences of me getting older:

• I can't stand MTV anymore.
• MUST HAVE 8 HOURS OF SLEEP
• Don't find any of the below clothing attractive (these were all at a popular young adult store)

• Don't think he is cute at all:

• And I have Arthiritis.
