Relationships aren’t easy

But worth the effort (if I remember correctly).  Perhaps one of ye is bringing extra baggage to the table, be it in the form of kids, an ex, financial worries, or family issues.  Or perhaps you’ve been alone for a while and the transition from single to not-so-single is not an easy one. 
Whatever the reason, [...]

Movie Night………

Is back!  Ventured off with Eliza to see “No Reservations”.  I deliberately avoided all reviews for the movie and went in knowing sweet feck all about it.
Have to say, although I’m not usually a fan of C.Z.J., I thought she did a good job in this movie - the hottie working opposite her (Aaron Eckhart) [...]

The End of An Era :(

While perusing through the limerick blogs, I came across this tidbit of information from The Limerick Blogger and I have to say, I’m gutted. 
Myself, ReD & Bibs passed many a fun night there; ’twas the place I met & dated & dumped the idiot child and  ’twas the place where said idiot child then [...]

After having a heart to heart

with a friend yesterday, I’ve been reassured that I am, in fact, the wonderful, funny, friendly, sociable person I always thought I was!  :)  Which cheered me up immensely!  Fighting off the attentions of a young whipper snapper helped the mood too………ahhh the youth of today - you just gotta love their arrogance!! 
So, I hate to break [...]

Just friends………

Or more than friends?  What happens when you cross that line??  A once off crossing can be dismissed, swept under the rug, never to be mentioned again, right?  But what if it continues?  What if one of ye is having a bad day and immediately calls the other person for comfort, without hesitation?  Something that [...]

While at the Watering Hole today

Picking up my car from last night’s debauchery, I decided to have a quick drink (as you do!).  While I’m sitting at the bar with Knight Rider holding fort, in walks a trio and proceeds to discuss the IRA.  First off, it’s an Irish pub, and secondly it’s not a good topic.  I don’t care [...]

Why Why Why

Why does it take writing someone off for them to pop back into you life??  You give them the benefit of the doubt, you save their number.  Then enough is enough and you finally erase every mention of them from your day to day life.  And then, with no warning, they pop back into your [...]

Jersey Bitch commented

That it’s not hard to be happy.  Perhaps it is the sum of our life’s experiences that conspire to make us happy or unhappy. 
What makes one person happy doesn’t necessarily make another person happy - for example, if my ex got run over by a bus tomorrow, he wouldn’t be too thrilled with the situation [...]

Retail Therapy

What I wouldn’t give for some retail therapy right now!  I fondly remember the good ol’ days, full of exciting purchases and countless opportunities to show them off!  Oh the excitement of it all!
These days I’m lurking in dark corners, ashamed to be seen in last years stuff.  One TV comercial  is happily announcing it’s “shoe [...]

It’s been established

That I’m standoffish, unapproachable, and intimidating.  Now I get to add aloof, distant, and non-communicative to the mix.  Jesus, you lot really know how to cheer a gal up! 
Anyone else want to throw in their 2 cents worth???  Lets hear it now or forever hold your peace!  Anyone got anything positive to contribute?

Analysis

Today saw a very interesting conversation.  I was told I’m standoffish - polite speak for “get off your fucking high horse, bitch!”.  Nah, I jest - but it’s really not the first time I’ve heard something like that - I’ve also been told I’m unapproachable and intimidating.  All completely true.  It all boils down to my bitch factor - and [...]

I’m starting to think

After last night’s failed attempt at dating (Yes, another one!  Thanks for pointing that out!!), that it’s time to step back and lay low for a while.  Have some quality time with Wonderpooch and try to regroup. 
I’m not sure where my head’s at these days - I feel like I’m in slow motion while everyone [...]

Is it possible

To step into somone else’s shoes?  Step into their life?  And to do so in such a subtle way that nobody notices??  Suddenly you’re the one getting all the phone calls, text messages, and invites to this, that, and d’other.  The life & soul of the partaaaaaay! 
But does it tarnish you?  Are you still you or are [...]

Gray times

Do you ever feel like there’s a huge storm cloud right over your head and, no matter what you do, it’s just going to keep pissing down on ya???  Just once, you’d like to catch a break, find an umbrella………..something, anything to change things. 
Waiting patiently………..

Stressful

Scouse Bitch (beloved spouse of Mr. Manchester) has given us an insight to her job.  She was worried recently about a day’s work - stressing over it in fact.  When Mr. Manchester queried the cause of her stress, she replied “We’re going on a teddy bears’ picnic”………….and you thought your job was stressful.

Isn’t it amazing………

how two people can view the same situation so differently?  Goes to show how important communication is - no matter how uncomfortable the conversation might be at the time.

Worked at the Watering Hole last night……….

The future Mr. Limerick providing the entertainent for the evening - he’s still happily married to another and I’m still patiently waiting!!  A very very quiet night - which meant ample opportunity to drool over the future Mr. Limerick

Helpful hints for a happy marriage!

While checking on the new back home, I tripped across this article on www.independent.ie and thought I should share this nugget of advice with the world!  I know how much this will be appreciated!
DON’TS FOR HUSBANDS
● Don’t sharpen pencils all over the house. It does not improve either the carpets or the [...]

It’s ok, I’ll wear a condom

While joining Eliza and Mr. Last Chance in a game of “marry, kill, or fuck”, he answered each person with fuck.  Proving that all men are dogs…..and will nail anything, anytime, anywhere.  Which kinda bodes well for us less fortunate people….but I digress. 
His rational behind each statement (especially defending his desire to shag the arse [...]

I’ve had a couple of days

To take in the new test results, and schedule the next appointment.  I’ve decided it’s not worth worrying about - after all I had the same tests mere months ago and that was all fine.  Stressed for nothing then and don’t see the point in stressing now. 
I’ve also called a new doctor’s office and have [...]

Today’s horoscope……..

Pisces:
Things are well on their way toward gaining real momentum in one of your newest relationships — because this is a mature partnership built on mutual respect and a shared sense of how to treat another person. Get ready for some new allegiances to be made, all of which will be challenging but rewarding. This [...]

The R Word

I was recently asked what I was looking for in a relationship.  Hardly a profound question, but definitely not one I’d ever really thought about before.  I’d considered the type of person I’d possibly like to date but that was it.
So now I’m still thinking about it.  I know I’m not chomping at the bit [...]

I need to get better

About checking my voicemail.  If I did, I’d have known 2 days ago that the bloodtest results are back and once again I get the “elevated levels” shyte.  What does that mean, I hear ya ask.  I’ll tell ya what it bloody means!!  It means that shagging vampire of a nurse gets to torment & [...]

Blonde Moments?

I had another post in mind but can’t seem to get the wording right on it so we’ll just scrap put it aside for now. 
Does everyone have their blonde moments - my old boss used to refer to a co-worker and I as Mitzy and Ditzy; hardly a term of endearment I’m sure!  Today I was [...]

Kids are cool

Well, for the most part, kids are cool!  Take D’Niece and D’Nephew for example - the bestest kids in the world, ever!  Followed closely by my fav little man over here.  Plus my friends’ kids I don’t get to see as often but are a joy to be around. 
I’m all about people having kids if [...]

Attitude

We all try to have a good attitude, a positive attitude.  It’s not always possible - oh well, such is life.  But having the attitude that the whole fucking world owes you a favor will get you absolutely nowhere!!  But, once again, what goes around comes around!

WTF????

Home Shopping Network are already breaking out the Christmas ads.  Is nothing sacred??  Can we at least make it to Halloween without being inundated with Christmas crap??? 

Back to Chicago

Munster are playing in Chicago in August; I tried to talk Big Sis into taking a trip with me, but flights were too expensive and she doesn’t want to see Munster play anyway!
So I kinda put the whole weekend out of my mind when suddenly a friend e-mailed me about it, and has me thinking [...]

I’m sure you’ve all heard the phrase

“You should wear clean underwear in case you get into an accident”.  How come nobody ever said “You should wear (clean) underwear in case the shagging zipper on your jeans doesn’t work properly and keeps sliding down”????  Huh?? Answer me that!! 

Spank Bank

Judging by the topics being thrown out by Dark Knight Rider, his missus needs to get back to town really soon!!!  He’s blaming the show Rescue Me (aka the best bloody show ever!!!) for ever giving him the “catchphrase du jour”.   Now he’s not naming who’s in his spank bank (and for that I’m thankful!) [...]

Too Funny!

It’s amazing what you find, when you surf the net!!!!

Dark Knight Rider*

has thrown a question out there.  I don’t want to ask how long this question has been worrying him but anyway - he wants to know is there such a thing as too much masturbation.  And if so, how much is too much??
I need to clarify that Dark Knight Rider should not be confused with the Knight [...]

It just dawned on me

That in the past week, I’ve not heard/seen/read anything Paris Hilton related!!  Let’s all have a moment of silence to mark this moment!!  Long may this trend continue!!!! 

First impressions?

When you meet someone new, you spend time getting to know them.  You discuss family, friends, work, interests, etc, etc.  Is it possible to divulge too much information too soon?  Overload the system, so to speak?  Do you play nicer than usual, or act like yourself?  What’s the deal breaker for you?  What’s that one [...]

Uncomfortable situations!

When I was younger, if a sex scene came on tv my parents’ inital reaction was to jokingly tell us to go out for coal.  We’d give an uncomfortable giggle or leave the room.
To this day, I can think of nothing worse than sitting between the Parental Units watching tv when up pops a sex scene.  [...]

Lately, there’s been several reports

Of bears rambling into back yards and subdivisions around Atlanta.  It’s led the residents to scratch their heads and wonder why Mr. Bear is quite happy to pop in & visit so much more than usual.  I’ll tell ya why - it’s cos developers are ripping through undeveloped land, knocking trees, bushes and what not, [...]

Kiddie TV

What shows had you glued to the tv growing up?  Which theme tunes bring back fond memories?????  Which ones make you roll your eyes and wonder what in the name of Jaysus were we thinking????
I’ll start ye off!!
Skippy the Bush Kangaroo (Skippy can kick Flipper’s arse!!)
Wanderly Wagon
Fortycoats
Jim’ll Fix it (the bastard never answered my letter!)
The [...]

Health Insurance…….finally!

And how do I spend my first day as a newly insured person???  Getting poked, prodded, and enduring countless bloodtests………it’s not right!

Another weekend

Done & dusted.  But at least it’s a short week this week……….what are we doing for the 4th, people???  Although, if I have my way, it’ll be spent relaxing by the pool!!!  I need to keep working on my tan!!  I’m still a nice shade of pink - a far cry from the translucent person I once [...]
