Another long weekend

And I spent the first day of it laid up with a migraine.  Oh joy!!  It’s been a while since I’ve had a migraine; to the point where I’d forgotten how bad they are.  But I was reminded this morning!!
I’m starting to come out of the haze, but still have neither the energy [...]

Merry Christmas!!!

I’m not normally a festive person - mostly because, with the exception of 2 or 3 years, I’ve spent the majority of Christmas mornings waking up alone, which is the worst feeling in the world!  But not today!!!!  Today I woke and before dragging myself out of bed I called the Parental Units.  I made [...]

Mom, make it stop!!!

Wonderpooch and The Doo decided to take advantage of the down time during the movie.  Wonderpooch commandeered his couch, while The Doo curled up on the floor, using my slippers as a pillow.  It’s really a tough life!!
The Doo is a very vocal sleeper and while we were having a giggle at his expense, he [...]

Christmas Eve at Chez Limerick

Wonderpooch opened his home to The Doo and only spent the first 2 hours trying to hump him.  Quite a successful night!!!  Atlanta G and I have cracked open our adult beverages of choice, laughed our arses off at drunken animals, and not really mentioned the fact it’s Christmas - I did manage to give her [...]

The habit of suing people hits a new low!

While perusing the Atlanta Journal Constitution this morning, I came across an article discussing a lawsuit.  A 60yr old man is taking an 8yr old (and his father) to court over a skiing accident that took place when the boy was 7.  Apparently the boy collided with the man, who suffered a torn tendon in his shoulder.  [...]

Weekend plans……..if anyone’s interested!

It’s great to be able to catch up with old friends and the holidays seem to be the perfect time meet up with everyone.
So far this week, I’ve caught up with some of Big Bro’s old friends and tonight I’m meeting up with a few more of the gang.  Tomorrow The Future Mr. Limerick is [...]

Haha!

Last week I told Limerick Guy I wouldn’t laugh at him if Liverpool lost to United, but I lied!  I did manage to hold off for 4 days though - I should get some credit for that!!
He was full of the joys of scouseness last week, the anticipation of a United defeat and potential slagging was [...]

History

I hope I’m not shocking anyone here when I say everyone has a past.  (insert dramatic pause here)
It’s true!  I do and you do…………quit squirming!  Of course, my past is less tarnished than others!
To all the boys I’ve loved before - I’m glad to have had you in my life for whatever length [...]

Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday Mitch Bu’Cannon (Boom!!!)
Happy birthday to you!!!!!!!!!! 

Congratulations!!!

Congratulations, hugs, and kisses go out to ReD and her hubby, on the birth of their new baby girl! 

Ok so I’m on a roll!

I mentioned in my previous post that Dad only resorted to reddening my arse once; the restrain that man showed during my childhood should be applauded!  I was a little bitch - I’ll give ye a moment to allow that to settle in, I’m sure the shock is a lot to bear!
I tormented everyone and [...]

Convent education

My entire school years were at convent schools.  In primary school we had a uniform, but for the life of me I can’t remember what color it was - navy blue comes to mind but I could be way off there.  I don’t remember much about primary school.  Those must have been the years I behaved - aka I had [...]

Birth control anyone??

So I awake this morning to the glorious news that the Spears family is expanding once again.  Britbrit’s little sister is up the pole - isn’t that just wonderful?!  The news report has a comment from Ma Spears saying they’ll raise the child in normal, happy, healthy environment - what planet is she on?!
The announcement [...]

The Balance of Power

No matter what the situation, somebody always has the upper hand.  In work or in play, there’s always an edge. 
Take relationships (sorry Mr. M!); if one person cares for the other more, they’re at a disadvantage - unless they’re really good at sending the other on a guilt trip!  Though the ability to induce a [...]

Cliches

are defined on dictionary.com as a trite or overused expressions; talk about an understatement! 
When you think about them, they really make no bloody sense at all.  And yet we use them, constantly throwing them around to prove a point, make a (pitiful) attempt to reassure someone, or wish them good (or bad) luck.
When someone gets [...]

The lectures have begun!

Nagging me isn’t the way to convince me to decorate the house for Christmas! It’s my choice to acknowledge it or not………I’m choosing not! It’s a personal choice; one I’m quite happy with!
I won’t be alone Christmas morning and neither will Wonderpooch! Atlanta G is coming over Christmas Eve and bringing her dog; we’ll have [...]

Maybe Eliza was right after all!

She said I had a touch of the Christmas spirit in me!  Tonight, after babysitting and visiting Mitch Bu’Cannon (Boom!!!) for his birthday - Happy Birfday Ol’ Man! - I came home to watch the Bishop’s Wife.  Granted I’ve watched this movie time and again but tonight it actually felt right to watch a Christmas [...]

My father has no fashion sense!

He’s just informed me he purchased a pair of sandals - he’s quite chuffed with the bargain price he paid for them.  However, he’s now sporting said sandals with white socks!  He’s turned into one of those men!  I fear there’s no hope for him at this point!  I’m so glad it’s Big Sis that’s [...]

What lines have you used

To get out of a date?  You think with all my moaning and groaning in the past, I’d have been happy to have some fool ask me out.  But I really do have standards………..granted they haven’t been the highest of standards but I’m out of that phase now!
So here’s a small selection of lies [...]

Bock brought this to my attention

With one of his posts, which you can read here.  Having been through the wringer with medical issues over the last year, I know the worry that comes with dealing with health issues.  Luckily I didn’t have to wait any amount of time to go for tests, and the results were back in no time either. 
Bock [...]

Question for the guys!

Ok boys, you can have anything you want for Christmas.  Anything your little heart desires!  What do you want?  What’s catching your eye this holiday season?
Inquiring minds want to know!

Is meeting/speaking to your SO’s family

More daunting than meeting/speaking with their friends?  Newbie’s been on the phone to Mancy Bitch and Atlanta G numerous times - he’s chatted up a storm each time.  Himself and Atlanta G have discussed all sorts of stuff from religion to politics and other unmentionable topics. 
Big Sis took the phone from me the other morning to say [...]

It just dawned on me

That I was so giddy with the prospect of checking out the eye candy this past weekend.  I was anticipating oodles of military men strutting around the place!  The Gods didn’t disappoint - there was men to be ogled and then some!  Alas, I didn’t eyeball anyone, no sneaky arse checks or anything. 
One guy who caught [...]

Back to reality.

Fun’s over, back to work today.  But what a great weekend!  Just wish I’d known sooner I could have taken more time off, but I enjoyed the time I had. 
Wonderpooch was simply overjoyed to see me last night!  He spent the entire night glued to my side - tonight will be different.  Tonight he’ll ignore me.  [...]

First shopping trip was quite the success!

I scored new shoes…………….happy, happy, joy, joy!
I also got new duds that I’ve been told look great on my arse - first one caught checking me out will have the honor of buying me a drink!  The Parental Units keep complimenting me on my continued weight loss…….I’ll need an extra seat on the [...]

I’m here!

For once, my trip went off without a hitch!  Unlike the trip to England/Ireland, I didn’t loose anything or get caught in storms - what a wonderful thing!!!
Newbie must be missing me - he called right after my flight was supposed to land.  We actually arrived early so it was perfect timing on his part.  [...]

I found my Christmas gift!

I hate the thought of ye stressing over my gift.  So I’m here to help - told ye I was wonderful!! 
While surfing the net, I stumbled across a new site.  You can check it out here!  The perfect gift for me, don’t you think?!

After working late the last 2 nights

And not being here for the weekend, I thought I’d play the doting mother role and spend an evening with Wonderpooch.  I left work at a respectable hour and rushed home to take him for a nice stroll through the neighborhood.  Back home to eat, in front of a nice cosy fire.  Wonderpooch curled up [...]

Happy Thursday!!

Yeah  I know that it’s only Wednesday but, as far as the work week goes, today is my Thursday!! 
I’m not a huge fan of flying but the excitement of seeing the Parental Units will over-ride the flying issue.  The return trip on Sunday will be a different though; however, I’m not as bad [...]

People have told me before

That Big Sis and I sound very alike on the phone.   We’ve confused her hubby and father-in-law a time or two, unintentionally of course.  It’s got me thinking that this weekend would be the perfect time to wind Newbie up.  Then again, God knows what he’s capable of saying at any given time!  Censorship and subtlety are [...]

Brrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Fucking brrrrrrrrrr at that!  This isn’t funny anymore!  It stopped being funny when it dropped below freezing; even the dog doesn’t want to go out.
Of course it could be worse - I could have to work outside all day and that would just suck! Poor Newbie……….hehehehe
Oh well, roll on Spring!

All this Christmas talk

Is very depressing!  Again I’ll be alone for Christmas and, because of that, I’m not going to decorate my house or put up a tree - I really just can’t be arsed.  Newbie offered to decorate with me; I politely told him where he could shove the Christmas tree.
As Newbie has to work over Christmas, it’s [...]

I love lazy Sunday afternoons!

I’ve spent the morning relaxing with Wonderpooch; he took me for a stroll drag by the river and now is curled up beside me, happily snoring away. 
I’ve tried my hand at cooking and so far I don’t detect the distinct burning aroma that usually follows any kitchen endeavor of mine.  I’ve got a nice fire [...]

The brooding phase has definitely passed!

Last night I had to babysit for a family I’ve watched numerous times.  Three daughters, plus a friend staying the night after a birthday party. 
Sat them down in front of tv to watch a movie; everyone is well behaved.  All is right with the world.  The 3yr old falls asleep, so I carefully carry her up to bed [...]
