Friday Favorites-

Ostrich-like:  one who attempts to avoid danger or difficulty by refusing to face it

http://jfxblog.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/ostrich-head-in-sand2.jpg?w=228&h=221

First off. This is coin marked by Roxy. She has accused me of being in “Ostrich-mode” on numerous occasions through out the years. I am the ‘stick your head in the sand, enjoy the situation/life, not wanting to know all the details because they might upset/bother/stress me’ chick.

It’s bad of me.

I admit on most days, I live in ‘pretty pretty spoiled princess land’. Where there are no problems or issues to deal with. Ok, except for the occasional hormonal imbalance. But over all. I am taken care of.  I am coddled.  I make no bones about it. I love being taken care of. I love being spoiled. I love my life.  Once upon a time I kicked ass in the- no one else is going to do it for you but yourself, you’re on your own sweetheart- business.  But these days, problems arrive in my/our life and PC swoops in and takes care of them for me/us.  PC= Prince Charming…..  *swoon*

But.  Occasionally things arise that I need to take care of myself.

Such as. A frank discussion I needed to have. It involved me and a certain someone and I have put it off too long.  *ducking* Far too long. But I was having too much fun! I didn’t want to talk about it. Bring it up.  Risk hearing things I didn’t want to. *she says in an annoyingly whiny voice*
(I did at least take care of this)

Or my Dr’s office that keeps calling me. I need to talk with them. Take care of it. What is the saying- just do it?

But I suck. I hate confrontation. I love everything to be peachy and fabulous. I thrive on it.

Ostrich—->Me

*shrugs shoulders*
  Hey. The first step is recognizing…..  ~wink~

    Well, you’re definitely not the only one. I have a propensity to be in ostrich-mode too.

    I love you so much!

    Well, as long as you’re not laying eggs, there’s hope for you yet :D

    PC- really? I hadn’t ever thought of you to be that way. Hmm…. :)

  4.   VixenNo Gravatar Says:

    Roxy- *snort* Nope. No eggs yet ;)

    I’m with you – much prefer peachy and fabulous to anything involving conflict! I want everything to just be easy… sigh…

    Thank you for the link love, gorgeous, sexy thing!

    I think we all have our ostrich moments, even when we’re being fiercely independent. There are days where I just need everything to be the way I want it to be. Is that so wrong?! ;)

    Thankyou for making me swoon worthy :)

    I can be an ostrich too.. Though, never as much as I would really like to be! I tend to be the one that pushes for things to be sorted, so I can deal with less confrontation! hehe

    GREAT choices!!! Oh, and you’re my choice this week :) If you’re interested, and just so you know, my pick of the week gets to choose one product out of three from my store. So, if you want to do that, let me know!

    Happy weekend!

    Hot pics, those girls are always hot though, aren’t they?
    And the Ostrich ie. fear of risk, you’re the third (including myself) who have written on this within the past week. Isn’t that weird?

  10.   EmmyNo Gravatar Says:

    Yeah, I think everyone has been known to ostrich on certain things – things where they don’t necessarily want to hear the answer about.

    Great choices this week! :)

    I wear the tiara in this category- love to avoid until I have to go head on. honestly. not people rather situations or things like bills, money, homework, etc.

  12.   Barefoot DreamingNo Gravatar Says:
