I've developed my self a new term....
I'm not High Maintenance in that I don't have to have the finest clothes, I only get my hair really cut when there is enough to donate to Locks of Love and I only where makeup if my skin is too horrible to show. You won't find me getting a pedicure because I don't want people touching my feet, and you won't see me at a massage parlor because I don't really like strangers touching me. I'll wear the same shoes till they have holes in them and can't stand paying more then $10 for just about anything.
My house has simple things, I only wear simple things, I only eat simple things.... I don't like fancy pillows (I'm allergic to them).... I like everything Unsweetened, nothing Spicy... I don't need bells and whistles on a car, but I want a safe reliable car. OK, you get the idea... I'm pretty basic. Pretty Simple!!!
But then why is everything I want so darn complicated.... You have no idea how many times I end up with sweet tea instead of unsweet.... feather pillows instead of plain boring pillows....Spicy foods instead of plain, or Meat instead of non-meat.... I have discovered that being simple can be even more complicated then being high maintenance. At least high maintenance is accepted and more the Norm these days. Just being simple has become the new difficult....
So I'm now calling myself Simplistically High Maintenance!! And heck, if nothing more, it makes for funny travel stories.... What would an adventure be without some kind of humor attached.
