Words of wisdom…..

from my big sis. 
 ”It’s better to have loved and lost, than to have spent my life with that loser.”
She got this quote from a co-worker who has the same shitty taste in men that I have.  Thank God I’m not alone - maybe we can start a focus group or something?!  Anyone else??  Come on ladies - [...]

Daydreaming

Pisces
Having a rich fantasy life right now will keep you energized and feeling positive. You can control everything in your imagination, so give it a try! Exercise your power by imagining yourself the way you want to be, with all the resources, money and attention you crave. Daydreaming is a very effective way to entertain [...]

Mr. Norway II

So, off we popped to see him, with chicken wings in hand (long story!).  I want some of whatever he’s on!  Course I’m not going to hurl myself off a ladder to get some; that’s just stupid! 
He’s got a chalk board in his room, which Jersey Bitch eyeballed as soon as we walked in.  Twas [...]

Mr. Norway

Poor Mr. Norway had an accident last week.  He fell off a ladder and broke his hip & his wrist.  Now he’s stuck in a position he’s probably not used to - flat on his back! 
Tonight JB & I plan to pay him a visit - who wouldn’t love to see the two of us [...]

I got tagged - thanks mt!

A-Z
1. A is for age: 32 on Thursday……
2. B is for beer of choice: Don’t drink beer, I drink cider. Bulmers when I can get it, Strongbow every other time.
3. C is for career right now: Accounts Clerk
4. D is for your dog’s name? Wonderpooch!!
5. E is for essential item you use [...]

Drunk Dialing

No, it wasn’t me, before ye start rolling your eyes!  It was one of the guys; he claims he was simply tired, bless him, but we all know better!  He had the girl; Jaysus, he had her hook, line, and sinker.  He told her he was single, he’d broken up with the girlfriend.  Fair enough, [...]

Bravery!

It’s been a while since we had a decent thunderstorm.  While leaving work last night, Sweetheart made the observation that it smelled like rain - oh could it be?!  No sooner had we started our cars when the first drops of rain started falling!  Oh joy!  So I scurried home to drag walk Wonderpooch through [...]

Bathroom Behavior

Ladies, we’ve all been there; faced with using a public restroom and opting for the “hover” manoeuver.  Fair enough, God forbid we sit on anything that could climb up our thigh and implant itself within us, to cause lethal harm! 
Saying that, I don’t think the hover is executed correctly if you have to plant both hands [...]

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday Big Bro
Happy Birthday to you! 

REWARD!

Missing: One roommate, male, 5′9″, short dark hair, tattoo on left bicep, muscles galore.
Jersey Bitch has lost her roommate.  She put him down and can’t remember where she left him; he’d just had a flea dip so wasn’t wearing his collar.    Answers to the name G-Money.  Very friendly, can be tamed further with treats.  Don’t [...]

Dogs!

And I’m not referring to Wonderpooch for once!  Since my last break-up, I’ve taken to wearing a ring on my wedding finger.  I’m at the stage where I’m not looking for attention from guys.  However, the ring on the wedding finger seems to have the opposite effect.  I’ve gotten more attention from men in the [...]

Wonderpooch strikes again!

Jersey Bitch popped by for a visit tonight - actually she’s using me for my extensive music collection but I digress!  So, being the gracious hostess that I am, I offered her a nicely chilled can of Bulmers - which is like gold dust over here so I’m going above and beyond the call of [...]

American Idol

Yes, I’ve resorted to watching it.  There’s nothing else catching my attention tonight - what the hell is up with Paula Abdul????  First off, she needs to get rid of her hair stylist - words can’t describe the “do” tonight!  Maybe she should follow Britney’s example and shave the damn thing off. 
There’s a nice change of [...]

Humor

Humor - do we use it to diffuse uncomfortable situations?  Today I was emailing a friend and found myself using humor in some mails.  I have yet to ask her if what I was saying was harsh - we’ll see what she says.  But is using humor something we all do?  I know I’m guilty [...]

News!

Ok, no news - I just wanted to make sure ye were paying attention to me! Ha!!!! 
I’m fielding calls from friends tonight, each call contains a different remedy for my cold.  From drinking hot water with pepper (eugh!) to hot tea with lemon to the old faithful chicken soup.  So I’m taking my own advice, [...]

Dear “Friend”

Are you clinging to the past? You’re certainly not looking to the future, like you claim to be.  Yes, you have some plans for the future, but those are dependent upon your actions now, whether your realize that or not. 
What are you afraid of?  Afraid of getting hurt - that’s a risk we all take, day [...]

The drive by!

Have you ever done the drive by?  You know what I mean - driving by the ex’s place to see if they’re home and, more importantly, to see if they’re home alone.
I did it with one ex; looking back now somebody should have slapped me but instead my girlfriends were right there in the car [...]

Monday Night…….

And I’m home alone.  Fairly typical of any given night here but tonight I’m sickly and driving myself insane!  Times like this, I realize it’s a good thing I’m single!  Of course, the one night I have neither the inclination or desire to get off this couch, my phone’s blowing up with invites from friends. 
 Got [...]

Dating 101

I feel obliged to help the guys out, after hearing some stories from girlfriends.

If you’re interested in someone, ask her out! Dinner, movie, happy hour at a wine bar, something………anything! She’s not sixteen; she doesn’t want to “hang out one afternoon”. That’s what her girlfriends are for!
Dating is “impress her” time; this is [...]

Decisions, Decisions

Please call me Dear Abby; I’m the go-to person for advice among my peers. While I’m flattered by that, I hardly think I’m the best person for that job. Have you seen my track record???So dilemma number one:Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool. (Not really, I just felt like adding that part). One’s [...]

Living Vicariously

Through Jersey Bitch; I take back everything I said about her not having game. She played me all along………I feel so cheap for having fallen for it. But now I know and I’m here to bring that knowledge to the masses! Don’t thank me people, it’s my civic duty!I don’t know if that’s how they [...]

Did you know

That it’s perfectly acceptable to hit on your friend’s ex or friend’s son’s ex - I never did quite figure that whole situation out? It’s quite alright to grab her and grope her and stick your tongue in her ear, after doing a sneaky approach from behind. The fact that you’re 30 years [...]

Ahhh……real men!

Real men can drink lovely green drinks - even when it’s not Paddy’s Day! It’s official; to hell with your pints of stout and shots of whiskey, a perfectly chilled, fruity green beverage is the way to go! Just thought I’d let ye know!

People Watching

Jersey Bitch and I ventured over to Watering Hole eile - just for a change of scenery. We were joined by Creepy Insurance Guy (I have to acknowledge him - he said I looked smart!). Anyway, isn’t people watching fun?!!A young couple came in for after dinner drinks. It was so obvious how enamoured she [...]

Self Defense

It’s a pity we don’t come with an alarm system to warn us of impending upsetting situations. Couldn’t you just imagine it?For the ladies:If a guy was attempting to play you/cheat on you/generally screw you over, the alarm would go off, triggering the built-in self defense device which would whack him over the head [...]

It’s over!

Wooohooo………Happy February 15th!So how was your Valentine’s anyway? Did the love of your life shower you with love and affection and gifts? Or did the love of your life fuck up and not show his/her undying love for you with a Hallmark greeting card???Or were you slightly bitter this year and decided not the celebrate [...]

What is it?

We all have that certain something - the thing that can make someone fall for us, or run screaming to the hills never to be seen or heard from again.Is it fair to say that “thing” is different for everyone. That certain “Je ne sais quoi” that we can’t identify but are so aware [...]

Question for ya!

Could you date someone who has a physical disability or deformity? Would that prevent you from even considering a relationship?Some say it’s the person they fall for but does personal appearance or ability still play an important role?

One Night Stands……again

Lets revisit this, shall we?! We’ve already discussed & defined a one night stand here. But I’ve got a different angle now. Is it easier to have a one night stand with someone you don’t know? Does that make it easier to walk away afterwards? And, are you crossing some line in the sand by [...]

A bit more about me! :)

1. MIDDLE NAME? Ann2. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? No……..well don’t think so3. WHEN DID YOU LAST CRY? Last week.4. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? No5. WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE LUNCH MEAT? Ham/Bologna6. KIDS? No!7. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU? Absolutely!8. DO YOU KEEP A JOURNAL? Not unless this [...]

Damn Taxes

I give up! I’ve tried to figure the damn thing out but can’t make head nor tail of it. Taxes were so much easier before I bought the house; now I’ve got a pounding headache and a growing stack of paperwork.Is there anyone out there willing to help out a friend in need? [...]

Can you tell it was another girls night out????

Can you tell it was another girls night out????

TMI?

Too much information - when does one cross the line when meeting someone new? If you’re sick, be it contagious or not, do you divulge that information early on or do you bide your time? How about a one night stand? Does that make the “issue” a non-issue, never to be mentioned?

Pregnancies!

Now calm down - I’m not pregnant! I’m happy to announce I’ve suppressed that emotion - I don’t want/need/desire to have kids of my own. But I have a friend who would give anything to be a mother. She’s single now…….Jaysus, aren’t we all?! So much so, she’s considered visiting the local sperm bank. So [...]

Anniversarys, birthdays, blah blah blah

While chatting with a co-worker, I casually asked him if he’d any romantic plans for the missus, tomorrow being Valentine’s Day and all that shyte. He said no but they might do dinner. That’s a brave man right there!

It’s no secret that to some American women (and you know who you are!), the lack of [...]

What goes around, comes back around!

So someone has royally screwed ya over. Words can’t describe how upset you are! You want to put the curse of a thousand camels on him, and pray that his left testicle will wither! Then, one day, you come to hear that you’re not the only one who’s sick of the bullshit and someone else [...]

I Love You vs Love Ya

Love ya/Luv ya: A term of endearment between friends. Just strictly friends, never had any hanky panky, no horizontal hokey pokey, just the bestest of friends. I have no problem telling my friends (male & female) that I luv’em. Mwah! I love you: Whoa! That’s a whole other kettle of fish there. Those 3 [...]

And I’m back……

So we now know that getting up at the asscrack of dawn, when there’s no freaking need, doesn’t do anything to help my mood! After a nice nap & riverside walk with Wonderpooch, I’m back & checking on the Husbands, who are up 1-0 at the half! Updates to follow.

The Perfect Wave

Surfers around the globe are forever praying for the perfect wave to ride in. How close is that to life on a daily basis - most of us pass our time praying for the perfect mate, perfect job, perfect anything and everything.On an unrelated note - Apparently I’ve been foul these past few weeks. [...]

Secrets

All you want is to keep one thing quiet. It’s nothing huge, or important, or even embarrassing. It’s just a fact that you want swept under the rug. That’s your choice, your right as an individual, that’s how you want to roll! You tell people, you stand your ground, you think [...]

Goodbyes

No, not goodbyes………more like see ya later! Yeah, that’s much better. Last night we gathered at the watering hole to toast Ms. Bliss one more time before she headed back to Texas. And with us being the kind, caring, considerate friends that anyone would love to have we tried to embarrass her [...]

BOOBS!

The one word that can get the attention of every man within earshot. Will someone please explain to me what the fascination with boobs is anyway? Really, I’d love to know! While lunching with two male co-workers recently, one was unable to contain his sheer awe and admiration at the size of another diner’s boobs; [...]

Crush Potential

What’s your crush potential limit? I don’t mean a future amour or possible stalker situation…….I’m referring to the weight limit you’ve set yourself for future hook-ups. Speaking from a big girl point of view (I used to be HUGE so trust me when I say I speak from experience), guys don’t mind gals with a [...]

A true love?

Another relationship post……sorry Mr. M!!
Is it possible to love someone but not be in love with them? I’m definitely not talking about a Significant Other here, nor am I referring to the love you’d have for a dear friend.
I’m talking about the person (who you may not see as often as you’d like) [...]

Trivia Night……..

last night with Mitch Bu’Cannon (Boom!!!), Bibi, and Jersey Bitch. We returned to the scene of the HeavyMetal Karaoke and I have to say I’ve never seen a place with such a diverse clientele. The people that were there last night will definitely not be rocking out there on Friday night. I [...]

Holding on to the past

Why is it that there are some things from our past that we just can’t seem to let go of? Maybe it’s a stuffed animal, a love letter, a postcard from exotic places. Perhaps it’s a best friend from your first day of school, and while ye no longer have anything in common, life without [...]

Bad Vibes

Ever get a really bad feeling about something and, try as you might, you just can’t shake it? There’s no reason behind it - there’s nothing unusual going on to lead you to think that everything is about to blow up in your face but you just have this feeling in your gut.
That’s how [...]

Changes……..

Tonight I had drinks with a friend of big bro’s, we’ll simply call him the Scary Uncle (for reasons only we know!). During our conversation, he said he made the observation to my brother about how I’ve changed in the years he’s known me. Now he’s known me since ‘94, when I was [...]

1 down, 11 to go!

So that’s January out of the way; what a shitty month! And I know I’m not alone in expressing those sentiments! But it’s over, done & dusted, finito, laid to rest, bye bye birdie! Lets count down the rest of the year, shall we kiddies??? For starters, Valentine’s Day is right around the fucking corner! [...]

Girls’ Night Out!

What is it about a girls’ night out that strikes fear into the hearts of grown men??? I’m sure you all need no reminder of my renewed single status, but even I’m fielding calls from guy friends where the conversations all run pretty similar; it’s amazing!Are guys that insecure when it comes to a group [...]
