Some people are inconsiderate asswipes!

Yesterday evening saw me partake of my favorite activity - I had to go grocery shopping.  It’s amazing the gobshytery you see going on there!  Though this particular gobshytery isn’t just associated with the grocery store - it’s anywhere you find a car-park and a kid’s activity center/class/gathering point.
Yesterday I watched an elderly woman park in one of the [...]

Why are single people labeled “incomplete”

And why do married people act so smug and consending?  That was the topic being discussed on the radio this morning. 
Now I’m not saying that all married people are smug and consending; just the majority of ye……….oh I jest - get off your fecking high horse!!  But some of them are guilty; the rest have just given up on [...]

Ye lot are hopeless!!!

Where’s the outpouring of grief, the public beating of breasts, the picket lines, the begging and pleading that I write a new post???? 
I feel so alone and abandoned!

I got nothing!

No witty banter, no words of wisdom, I haven’t even found a shocking news article that’s pissed me off enough to write about it. 
Blogger’s block and a shitty case of insomnia will do that to a person!  But rest assured I’ll be back - the Christmas music blaring around me is bound to get me down sooner or later!

Ok, I wasn’t going talk about the religious thing

But then I read this article today and I just have to say something.  Just my opinion - feel free to add your own. 
Catholic groups all over the US are screaming at the top of their voices for the total ban on the books “Northern Lights”, as well as the new Daniel Craig (swoon) movie. 
They claim [...]

Hannah Montana

WTF is the big deal about Hannah Montana?  I had the pleasure of being surrounded by a gaggle of 10 yr olds last night, screaming their little lungs out over the fact that they’re going to see Ms. Montana tonight. 
I’ve got a little nugget of advice for any adult misfortunate enough to be going tonight with [...]

It’s now 1am………

And I can’t sleep
I worked late last night and while I was exhausted when I got home, I only managed 3 hours of sleep.  I thought tonight would be different and yet here I sit!  I went to bed early - by early I mean before 10 and after 3 hours of tossing [...]

Boobs!

Yeah I said it - Boobs!  And I’ll say it again - boobs, boobs, boobs!! 
Guys, please tell me what the attraction is!  And what guy approaches a random girl, in a supermarket, to tell her that she’s got nice boobs?!  I want to know! 
I see mine every day and I can safely say they [...]

While I’ve yet to find the humor in doggy farts

I’ve definitely found the humor in doggy hiccups!  The big eyes, the look of fear and bewilderment, the jumping 2 feet off the ground………..ahhh that, dearies, is humor at it’s finest!
He got his own back on me later - he pulled a Wonderpooch Special!

While out and about

I ran into a woman I’d worked with a few years ago.  She enquired as to my marital status and whether I’d “been blessed with little’uns”.  When I replied in the negative, she quickly patted my arm and said “There, there.  No need to fret”.  Uh, hello?!  Who’s fretting?!
Why do women who are married with kids [...]

Why are dog farts funny?

That’s the question a dear friend posed to me today via e-mail.  Honestly I don’t find them funny - at least not in Wonderpooch’s case; in his case, something crawled up his arse and died!  However, I find the fact I’m dedicating a post to doggy farts slightly humorous! 
Guys usually have the monopoly on finding [...]

Hero or Not??

Last week in Pasadena,TX, a 61yr old man saw two guys break into his neighbor’s house in broad daylight and attempt to make off with their loot.
Mr. Horn (now there’s a name!) called the police and informed them he was going to kill the two guys.  While the dispatcher listened, he stepped outside his door [...]

If I knew then what I know now!

I wouldn’t have:

Mentioned a 3some to Newbie - jokingly or otherwise
Allowed a friend to inform Newbie I was smitten with him
Allowed friend with “sexy English accent” to call Newbie “Dahlin” on the phone
Waited so long to put foot down & insist Newbie meets friend(s)
Allowed the friend with the kinkiest sense of humor to text Newbie over drinks [...]

Huh?

Pisces
Your heart is drawn to music today — but not just through your iPod. It could be bird songs, highway noise or all sorts of other kinds of sounds that put you in a more spiritual frame of mind. (www.ajc.com)

Back to the simple things. Today, simplicity is your key to having the most successful [...]

The Phantom Theory Rejected?!

Newbie officially met Atlanta G today - that was after spending countless hours on the phone to him yesterday.  As far as first impressions go, apparently I’m dating myself - which cannot be a good thing!  But he’s gotten a seal of approval - high praise indeed!   

Happy Thanksgiving!

I’m off to eat, drink, and be merry!
Be safe and have a great day!

Oooh the pressure!

I feel sorry for guys - I really do!  I feel even more empathy for guys in serious/long-term relationship around the holidays.  Because some random person decided that this is the time of year when every single man should be proposing to his girlfriend! 
Listening to the radio station this morning, they had several women calling [...]

Those invited to my gaff……..

For Thanksgiving have been spared the horror that is my cooking!  Count your blessings!  I’ve got a dodgy element (no comments please!!) in d’oven (again, no comments please!) and dinner plans have been cancelled. 
But all is not lost as M just called from the Watering Hole with a dinner invite!  Great food (cooked [...]

Dreams

Are weird.  Sometimes they can be so real, I wake up cursing the person I dreamt about!  Other times I wake up and wonder wtf is going on inside my head!
But where do they come from?  An extension of our day to day thoughts?  An underlying fear of something?  Either way, I’ve got some serious issues…………..but [...]

It started out as fun and games……..

Picking on Newbie, telling him I was getting broody, watching the panic set in………..oh it made me laugh! 
Well I’m not laughing now; the fecking joke’s on me - I think I am getting broody!  This morning at the grocery store a little boy tripped and fell in front of me (no I didn’t push him!) [...]

August Rush……..

Opens on Wednesday.  I’ve been waiting to see this movie for months!  And it’s got nothing to do with the fact that Jonathan Rhys Meyers is in it………….honest!! 
So, who would like to accompany me?  Given it’s a holiday week (hurray for a 4 day weekend!!!), I’m thinking of going next week.  Any takers?? 

Never call someone’s bluff!

You’ll get an answer but it’ll never be the one you want to hear. But, in the long run, it’s better to know than to carry on oblivious to stuff.

I was very upset

To hear that sales of Bulmers in Ireland have dropped.  They’re putting it down to the lack of a summer ye poor feckers had to endure this year.  But I’m here to tell ye that’s no bloody excuse!!!
Here I am, in a far off land, gasping for a can of Bulmers (subtle hint!) and ye [...]

At what point

Are words just not enough?  When do you know it’s the right time to just move on?

Before I offend anyone else……..

Let me reiterate that I 100% support the troops, both here and overseas.  Now, more than ever, do I understand the enormity of what they do.  While I’d already known people who have served their time (and then some) in Iraq, my current situation has certainly opened my eyes to it more than ever.  That doesn’t mean I [...]

Random Happenings In Georgia

The drought issue hangs over us, with no relief in sight.  Desperate times call for desperate measures, and so our valiant leader, our Governor, organized a prayer service to pray for rain.  So much for the separation of church and state.
During WWII, a 19yr old German trained attack dogs for prison camps.  In 1955 he moved to the [...]

Just for Sol!

Here’s my boy, my pride & joy (sometimes), my faithful friend (when we’re home alone) - Wonderpooch…….

Wonderpooch Strikes Again!

I usually work late on Monday nights.  Last night was no exception and when I finally arrived home I was greeted at the door by Wonderpooch, who should have been safely gated in the kitchen. 
A huge search for damage ensued; my search was futile.  It would appear that Wonderpooch had behaved perfectly and was rewarded [...]

There’s nothing better…….

Than running into an ex on the same night you put some effort into your appearance.  Especially when he does a double-take and admits he fucked up! 
I love nights like that!

A new way to freak Newbie out!

Saturday night I had to babysit.  Connor is the most adorable child I’ve had the pleasure of watching.  A little blonde haired, blue eyed bundle of joy! 
So I (having a bitch tendency) told Newbie I was getting broody.  That text prompted an immediate phone call!  He’s running scared!!  It’s very funny!
I know I [...]

BiBs is the bestest!!

I have Wispas!!
And I’m not sharing!
Except with Big Sis. 
BiBs, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!  You are the bestest thing since sliced bread!  Love ya!  Love ya loads!

Let’s sum up my shitty day!

Woke way too early
Fell over the dog
Tripped over same feckin’ dog going down the stairs
Spilled a bag of dog food all over kitchen floor
Stuck behind school bus on the way to work - 5 mile drive took 34 minutes
Snapped at Newbie via text message
Spilled tea on my lap
Snapped at Newbie on phone
Big Mac for [...]

Friday Blues???

Yeah, Happy Friday!
Another weekend upon us and with the exception of babysitting and doggysitting, I’ve got zero plans!  I’m fielding emails from various friends who actually have a life, which involves having numerous plans for the weekend.  Newbie’s working all weekend and, given the conversation we just had, would probably opt to stay well out [...]

I’ve had some chocolate……..

And I’m in a better mood; though I still don’t give a shit about J-Lo being knocked up!  Or Christina Aguilera for that matter (thanks Eliza!). 
So what do I give a shit about??  At this moment in time, sweet feck all!  I’m tired & cold!  And that’s all I can think about!  I keep forgetting to get [...]

J-Lo confirms pregnancy

Well whoopdeefuckingdoo!  Forget the fact there’s a war going on, forget the fact Georgia’s got drought issues going on, forget the fact there are teenagers being imprisoned for having oral sex, forget the fact that the economy is in the shitter.
Oh, it’s all about J-Lo getting knocked up!  Every radio station and news site is [...]

A friend of mine…….

Upped and moved to Denver.  Three days ago he snuck away and is just now texting me, informing me of the move. 
Do you know what that means????  It means he robbed us of a going away session for him! Inconsiderate bastard!
Update: I’ve spoken to him and made my feelings known!  Apparently he got the same grief from his [...]

Can friends abuse a friendship?

Can they take, take, take, to the point where it interferes with your own life?  I understand you should be there for your friends; that there’s going to be a time when you will need them too. 
You can rely on friends, but can you really expect them to be there for you 24/7?  No matter [...]

I’ve been told……..

I should put plastic lining/weather stripping on my windows during the winter as extra insulation.  No offers of help, you’ll notice - just instructions!  He’s getting all brave in his old age, telling me what to do!  Let’s see how long that will last!
Tonight we have the first freeze warning of the season; here’s hoping [...]

You know it’s cold………

When you wake up and can’t find your little dog, who never leaves your side*.  A quick scan of the room leaves you wondering where he is, until you spot a lump under the covers, all warm and toasty!  Talk about making yourself comfy!
*Never leaves your side, unless you have overnight guests.  Obviously they’re more fun to [...]

How long………

Do you allow a friend to have an emotional breakdown before saying enough and showing some tough love?
Is is different if it seems like the hits just keep on coming for them?  That every day there’s a new dilemma to deal with?  How about if it’s the same issue over and over again, and somehow you’ve been dragged [...]

Yesterday I had dinner with a friend……..

Nothing romantic; just two friends enjoying each others company.  He’s recently divorced and trying to get his head around his new single status.  We’ve been friends for about 6 years.  Not the type of friends who see each other all the time, but we know we’re both just a phone call away when necessary. 
Half way through [...]

Apologies in advance to Mr. Manchester!

Another interesting article from a friend had this tasty line “Don’t squander your time on a man who can’t love you the way you deserve to be loved“
So how do I deserve to be loved?  In return, is there a certain way I need to love him?  Is there an “Idiots Guide to Expressing Your Love”??  [...]

Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday, Mr. Manners,
Happy birthday to you!

Happy Friday!!!

Woohoo!!
I’m feeling 100% better!  Yaaay!!!  I’m well rested, Wonderpooch is well rested, and the weekend is upon us. 
Tonight The Future Mr. Limerick is at the Watering Hole.  Tomorrow The Husbands take on the Arse.  I’ll be up bright and early to catch that.  An Arse massacre would be wonderful! Hmmmmm, upon re-reading that [...]

Irish accents as portrayed by Hollywood

Everyone seems to love an Irish accent - when they’re not busy confusing it with a Scottish/English/Australian/South African accent that is!  Most every American I know attempts to give me their version of the Irish accent - sometimes I find myself praying I’ll go deaf! 
Let’s start with the worst Irish accent I’ve ever heard!  That honor goes to [...]

Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday, Mr. Manchester
Happy birthday to you

A friend sent me a link

To an article she wants me to write about.  You can read the article here. 
Why do women insist on settling??  Honestly, they view being single as a fate worse than death.  It’s not, truly it’s not!  Take it from me, The Eternal Single One!
First off, if you’re with someone, you’re reducing your chances [...]

I went home early yesterday

To medicate with cold & flu crap and get some much needed sleep.  However the bloody trick or treaters and my own over-active imagination had other ideas!  But I did manage to squeeze in several hours of rest. 
Did it make any difference???  Did it fuck!!  I feel like arse!  Blogging will be resumed when someone [...]
