Nothing too Important

17Aug10

The rain is falling and I’m waiting for my youngest to return from school. My youngest is napping, so I get a moment to myself. A couple of random thoughts.

I have never read, Eat, Pray, Love, but it strikes me as very self-centered woman and book. I’m okay with finding yourself, but shouldn’t you do that before you marry? Instead, she divorces, eats well, and finds herself. Also, I’m not sure why finding yourself you always end up with another man and great sex. This further enhances the stereotype of “great sex” fixing all of a woman’s problems. It helped Stella get her groove back, in the book at least. The real life “Stella,” not so much, but I digress.

Celebrities are really out of touch. It’s fine it you have money, I wish I had money, but some of the advice they give to the normal joe is out of touch. Most of the diets they advise I can’t afford. I’m trying to stretch my food budget, I can’t afford a totally vegan or microbiotic diet. I do eat local and do what I can, but salmon is an occasional treat, for example. Plus that, my kids don’t even like it, so it’s more of a treat for me. I also don’t cook it that well, I wish I had a celebrity cook, and a trainer, but I don’t. Until I can afford one I don’t need your advise about how to live better. I’m pretty happy, thank you. Don’t get me started on the parenting and breastfeeding advice, I’m doing mine without a nanny.

I think celebrities lose sight of the fact that when they do become household words they no longer relate to the rest of the world. It seems like the more famous they become the more normal they want to think they are.
