Desperate Housewives????

Let’s start with the Buckhead Betty’s - I’m talking about those women who give the rest of us a bad name! You know the sort; ye’ve all seen them! Those SUV-wielding creatures, “multi-tasking” on the road - smoking, chatting on cell phone, applying mascara, all while painting their nails and eyeballing the next future ex-husband. [...]

Ex-girlfriends

A question for the ladies who are in relationships!
Ladies, are you concerned about your guy’s relationship with an ex-girlfriend? Do you get concerned if they speak? Is your guy able to be honest with you regarding his friendship with his ex? Or do your feelings of jealously/insecurity/paranoia upset the apple cart and throw everything out [...]

Ending a relationship

Breakups are almost always inevitable. Sometimes a breakup is very amicable. Both parties see the cracks in the relationship and chose to end it, then & there. It all comes down to who makes the first move. Usually the couple can still remain friends after such a situation.
Then you have where one wants to break [...]

It would appear………..

That I have angered some of my readers; those who hide behind their anonymity to posts their comments - though, I should add, I’m not referring to all of my anonymous people! You know who you are!
Yes, I work in a bar and that’s my choice. I like working there; I have close friends I [...]

Flu shot, my arse!

I feel like absolute shite! I think I lost a lung on Roswell Road this morning. But there’s no doubt in my mind that our resident super-sleuth, PC Plod, won’t be long retrieving it for me!
I’ve been awake all bloody night; Wonderpooch got so pissed off with me, he went & slept in the other [...]

A fun night!

A fine dining experience with Jersey Bitch, followed by the obligatory visit to the Watering Hole. I picked up my schedule for the coming week - for those eager to have the pleasure of my company, I’ll be slaving away Saturday & Sunday. Feel free to pop in & see me either night; feel even [...]

Tattoos……

I think it’s high time to add another tattoo. I’ve been wanting either a celtic knot or celtic cross for quite a while now and I recently happened across a design that I like. See pic below. So now it’s just a matter of when & where.

And so the debate begins: Jersey Bitch seems to [...]

Lady Luck………

Is smiling on me this week! I won the 1/2 time football pool at the Watering Hole - wooohoooo!!! I’ve forgotten my numbers already so don’t know if I’m up for the full time score but am slap happy right now. The savings account is getting extra padding this week!! Perfect timing!
A very quiet day; [...]

A very relaxing day

Football & a 3 hour nap. Then off to the watering hole for dinner. Ms Butt Floss was kind enough to grace us with her presence again. Fully clothed tonight, she still managed to display her butt crack & floss - that, folks, is a God given talent. I’ve come to discover her friends find [...]

Christmas List

Mr. Sligo won the dice roll the other night; to help him out a bit I thought I’d get the ball rolling on my Christmas list. I’d hate to think of him wandering the aisles trying to figure out what to get me!!!! Feel free to posts your lists here, and I’ll make sure they [...]

Full Moon???

Just home from another interesting night at the Watering Hole! Once again, it started out as a very quiet night and after last night’s festivities, I wasn’t in the mood to work but work I did. The Future Mr. Limerick was our musical entertainment for the evening. The only obstacle to our potential happiness? He’s [...]

A great day at the watering hole!

Over 50 people for dinner, plus other guests throughout the day. Everyone was in great spirits and the live music sounded great! Ended up being a bit of a late night, but that was due to us looking to have a nice quiet relaxing beverage after everyone had left!
Today is Black Friday; I should be [...]

The tree is up!

Quite impressed with myself; It’s a mixture of silver & pink baubles, more silver than pink but that will be corrected. Jaysus, the hormones must be in overdrive today - I’m sounding quite girlie! So far it remains untouched by dirty paws……long may that last!

Watched some of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade. Felt a [...]

Happy Thanksgiving!

A nice relaxing morning. Woken early by Wonderpooch, although Big Sis almost pipped him at the post! Nice walk by the river and home to relax for a few hours before heading to the watering hole for dinner. This weekend marks the 2 years since I got Wonderpooch! 2 years full of destruction & doggie [...]

Relationships

Those of us not in a relationship seek (maybe crave) the feeling that can come from having a significant other. That reassuring hug, relaxing back-rub, the comforting knowledge that this person in front of you cares about you and your feelings, and will do anything to protect you from anything they can.Then there are those [...]

Definitions of a stalker?!

We have your celebrity stalker; the type who’ll follow you home, actually break into your house and rummage through your underwear drawer, looking for a souvenir. These usually end up getting arrested. We have your pseudo-celebrity stalker; the type who’ll follow you home and hang around outside like a stray puppy. These will usually move [...]

So, Circe’s given me a topic. Qualities; I’ve never given that much thought before. I mean, who’s thinking about qualities when checking out someone’s ass? Unless, of course, it’s a quality ass! I guess I could say all the usual stuff - good sense of humor, honest, kind, witty, etc etc. [...]

My hair………….

Is falling out. I don’t mean a strand here & there. I mean clumps of it. No wonder the shower keeps getting clogged! I’m going to look like a cancer patient if this keeps up!! Umm……should I be worried about this???My American sis, Ms. Bliss, is on her way to town! Now she gets to [...]

It’s happened!

I’m getting into the Holiday spirit! I’m ready to pull out the Christmas tree, dust off the cobwebs and start decking the halls……….
I don’t know what to do; maybe I should just go with it! The parental units arrive in a little over 3 weeks and it’d be nice to have everything looking all festive! [...]

A lovely Sunday

Awoke early and headed off to the dog park with Wonderpooch. I’ve found a fully fenced, off leash dogpark where he can run & frolic & play & harass other dogs! After that, it was breakfast with Mr. Norway and his daughter. Back home to do the usual boring weekend routine…..laundry & cleaning. But now [...]

Oh, what a night!!

I worked last night at the watering hole. A quiet enough night, the regulars were few & far between. But, little did we know, there was entertainment to come. It all started with the arrival of a young couple and his mother. Before you could say WTF, the young lady was on stage with the [...]

The Husbands……

Are playing Sheffield United right now. Gillespie (not a husband) was just on the ground, writhing in agony - I still say he dived. He had a miraculous recovery cos he just scored a goal. Not a great Saturday so far. And I have to go to work soon, so I won’t get the final [...]

What a horrible feeling………

To wake up and find someone staring at you. That’s what awaited me this morning, when I awoke from my slumber. Wonderpooch scared the bejaysus out of me, the little bastard!!

Decisions

I’ve decided to make things easier for my family and make a living will. It’s all very well and good to talk about it, but I don’t want anyone to have to decide whether or not to pull the plug in the event something should happen to me. I’m going to give Power of Attorney [...]

Wonderpooch!

Happy Birthday!!!

Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday Big Sis
Happy Birthday to you!

Brrrrrrrrr………

It’s bloody cold out there today. If I wasn’t going out on my “hot date” tonight, I’d curl up in front of the fire with Wonderpooch. Oh well, there’s always tomorrow night! We found out today we’re off work the Friday after Thanksgiving! I’m so happy; there’s nothing better than a [...]

Ghosthunters………..

Tonight I had the girls over for Ghosthunters night; a night of food & drink. My first social gathering since the housewarming party and I had so much fun tonight. Hopefully they feel the same way!!!!The series finale for Ghosthunters was set in Ireland, in Leap Castle. Very interesting, very spooky! I found out my [...]

It would appear……..

That there are some among us not wise in the expressions of the world. Try as you might, you can’t blame everything on the generation gap! You may be old but you’re not that old!! And you can’t dismiss everything as a European thing either; we’ve been gone too long!! We’ll have to work on [...]

Marie Antoinette……..

Was woeful. Decent soundtrack but that’s about all it had going for it. Circe owes me bigtime for that one! Blood Diamond is definitely on the list. As is a new movie we saw a trailer for last night - The Invisible.

Acutally managed to sleep through the night last n…

Acutally managed to sleep through the night last night! Finally! Not even the destruction of a pair of shoes woke me up……..more’s the fecking pity! Still no test results but that’s ok. No news is good news, right?! I’ll keep popping the happy pills and working my way through the mood swings until I’m told [...]

I had to practically learn a whole new language when I moved to the USA. The first time I heard a grown man say he’d fallen and landed right on his fanny, I wondered what sort of country had I moved to at all!! My sister was the only person within miles who knew what [...]

Stating the obvious……

1. Please don’t click your fingers at your waitress, bark your order to her without a please or a thanks, and then expect her to be at your beck and call like you are the only customer in the place! You’re not, ya tosser! 2. It’s also not acceptable to shout her name across the [...]

Craziness……….

I can’t believe the fact that Angelina Jolie travelling on a Mumbai train is breaking news! But there ya go; they’re discussing it on the radio, it’s on every news site I’ve seen. To hell with the wars and the murders and rapes and robberies and the tragedies; lets take a looksie at what [...]

I’m not having fun anymore!

The meds I’m on are giving me more side effects than I anticipated; I can’t sleep, I have the shakes, my skin is crawling, I can go on & on. But if the final result is a good one, this will all be worth it. Or so I keep telling myself. I’m off to watch [...]

Some friends are just plain mean!

While sitting with Circe in the watering hole, chit chatting, burning cd’s and the like, I get a text from Scouse Bitch (loving spouse of Mr. Manchester) cheering on the team playing against the husbands today! How rude!

Following the mindset of retailers here, I feel it…

Following the mindset of retailers here, I feel it’s only fair to warn people that Valentine’s Day (bah freakin’ humbug!) is right around the corner!! I’ve penned a little verse which, I’m sure, will be snapped up by Hallmark in no time at all! Roses are red,Violets are blueNot talking long-termBut how about a [...]

More Thoughts

Say I decide I want to have a baby. I’m single, as ye all know. So single it hurts! How would my family react to me being a single mother? Would a wedding guarantee a happy family? Would a wedding guarantee I wouldn’t be a single mother? What if [...]

Feelings

So I spent tonight taking in the news, talking to friends and trying to figure out life. I start my hormone treatment tomorrow, so let me apologize now for anything I may say/do in the future! My news today was greeted with several emotions; some laughed, some hugged, some didn’t know how to [...]

Reality Check

There are some things you can control in life and some things you can’t. For example, my decision not to reproduce. Why? Because that’s my choice, my decision, my control over some aspect of my life. And everyone was quite content with that. Until that bitch, Mother Nature, decided to mess things up! My doctor [...]

2 thumbs up!

The soundtrack to The Departed has arrived and it’s bloody brilliant!

I had a dream last night that I had a baby. Not my baby, someone had just given him to me. I kept dropping him on his head. I think my older brother might have dropped me on my head once when I was a baby – that explains a lot! [...]

Update!

Flight’s been booked! Off to London May 11th, and then on to Limerick! Comfort food, here I come!

Over the weekend I got into cleaning mode; kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, floors, windows – there was nothing safe. The best attire for such a task? Pj’s, sloppy t-shirt, absolutely no make-up, and pile your hair up into something that could resemble a bird’s nest. While finishing the outside windows, a little lab [...]

I’m going home!

It’s been decided. Hopefully by next May I’ll have been back in Limerick again. Get your drinking shoes on girls…….we’re going out! I’m long overdue a trip back home and I’m getting all excited about planning the trip back. Stay tuned for updates!

Puppies Vs Babies

Last weekend, some scut of a fella told me I was a fine healthy Irish girl with child-bearing hips; read fat girl with a wide load! Jaysus thanks! May your left testicle wither and drop off! Yer wan from Waterford wants me to take on a puppy………um NO! But let’s compare, shall we?!
Pros [...]

Dear Wonderpooch…….

You have wormed your way into my life and my heart. However, I feel the time has come to address some issues with you.
1. It is my bed, I allow you to sleep on it. It’s not the other way around - quit growling at me!
2. Leave my stuff alone! You have destroyed countless shoes [...]

Guessing Games!

Since I added the e-mail address to my profile, I’ve been in touch with several people back in Limerick. One of them I went to school with; though I doubt she’s put it together yet! There’s another guy who probably works with some friends now, and may have even worked with a brother at some [...]
