My Vote for "Bitchy"

Backstroke about a year ago as me and my family are sitting around my moms house visiting. Being that we're by majority, a house full of girls, my younger sister Brooke throws out a suggestion...Brooke: "Hey family, I think we should introduce a new word to our family vocabulary."...Family: "Ok, what is it?"...Brooke: "Bitchy, you know, like, well, aren't you being bitchy today Kelli (HeeHee)."...Mom: "What is wrong with you child!?"...Brooke: "Well, I just think it's an appropriate word at times, especially when you're around a bunch of girls."......

Enter present day....

So, I woke up in a relatively good mood this morning. After my morning shower, I was my usual happy go lucky self, ready to tackle the day. Being that it's college week at school and today's theme is "Work it Out and Go to College", and our principal sent out an email saying we could wear tennies and workout clothes, I threw on my comfy White Rock technical T and running shorts (of an appropriate fingertip length might I add). Once I left my favorite local coffee joint, Roots, with a latte frappe in hand, I was on my way to work and good to go...so I thought.....

As I arrived at work, I noted all the teachers in their cute comfy work out clothes, a sea of velour and dry fit. I have to admit I was feeling pretty casual and comfy in my choice of workout clothes, after all, I am a runner and feel very much at home in a pair of running shorts. I was feeling good and perky after having drank my latte. I would classify myself at the time as being what you would refer to as a "happy, nice, approachable" person...my normal peppy self. So after our live airing of KJAG, that I thought went pretty well (more to come on this topic later), I venture out in the hallways to get to work......Duh Duh----Duh Duh---Duh Duh--DuhDuhDuhDuhDuhDuh (hopefully your getting the Jaws theme effect here). As I happily grace the school hallways, I spot a teacher decked out in her classic work out gear of what I would refer to as the "90's windpants look" and I nicely say "I like your work out gear!". She responds, "Thanks". Then...Then...Then...she reaches out to touch my running shorts as she simultaneously says in her most dissaproving tone "You chose an intersting outfit....hmmm shorts...". That's when I responded, "Well, aren't we bitchy today" and punched her in the face....JUST KIDDING.... I work in a school, where violence is frowned upon, but apparently bitchiness and back stabbing is a noteable and noble behavior. My actual response, with a smile might I add, was, "I'm a runner, this is what I work out in" and then happily turned around and walked off.

So, it is to all of you girls out there, that have in so many instances been completely wronged, backstabbed, frowned upon and dismissed, that I loudly and proudly proclaim the word "bitchy" to be deemed useable and free flowing from your lips, from this day on!
