Inside Jody’s Head

A special report by Jody’s Brain

It’s pink in here. And warm. It’s cozy in Jody’s brain. Look, she’s thinking about getting out of bed and taking a shower. Okay, let’s jolt her awake. We’ll make her think that she has an early meeting that she can’t miss, even though she doesn’t. That usually gets her up.

Ahhh, shower time! It sounds like a lovely rainstorm in here. Let’s give her something to think about while she’s waiting. I love doing this. We’ll give her stuff that makes no sense. Check out THIS train of thought!

1. That new shaping/slip undergarment I bought yesterday is too tight to be comfortable. Maybe I don’t need shaping.

2. They had one that gave you an hourglass figure. That must be twice as uncomfortable. At least it was made of spandex or something like that.

3. In high school B.H. (or her mom) had something similar that you were supposed to wear around your waist to make you sweat off weight. It was made of rubber. How uncomfortable to spend all day with a tight piece of rubber around your middle.

4. I wonder why nobody on XYZ mailing list ever responded when I said that in high school I got stuck playing a boy in the dance scene of West Side Story. I had to wear B.H.’s rubber thing to flatten my chest. It was fairly humiliating. I can’t remember if I was a shark or a jet.

5. Was there a dance scene? I can’t remember West Side Story that well right now. There must have been some kind of school dance. God, those actors were playing high school kids and they already had crow’s feet.

6. Which of the two guys in Twin Peaks played Tony? Did Dr. Jacoby play Riff?

7. “…Always the population growing, and the babies crying. I like the island Manhattan…”

HA! By the time she gets to 7, she won’t remember why on earth she’s got the song “I Like to Be in America” in her head. I love when I do that!
