I’m feeling blah!

Can’t put my finger on the reason behind the blahness, so it’s kinda lingering over me. 
Can’t get myself excited about the weekend.  There’s a group of us going for Mexi tomorrow night and the prospect of me being the center of attention usually has me giddy but not this time.  Saturday night we’re going to [...]

I’m certainly having one of those weeks!

But it wouldn’t be my life without some bullshit popping up along the way!  However, some bullshit is easily taken care of and that’s just what I did!  Other bullshit not so much - if anyone knows of a good dog trainer, please let me know!!
And what’s up with the freaking weather this week???  Fabulous [...]

It’s been said……….

That you tend to date the same type of person.  If that’s the case, why bother dating?  Look at my track record for example - if history will repeat itself, then I’ll only date cheaters or druggies.  Isn’t that just a warm cheery thought?!!
So should I just look at Crushie and all other potentials with scorn [...]

What a wake-up call!

I awoke this morning to a quivering dog and a fabulous thunderstorm!  After venturing out with Wonderpooch, I’m wondering how my drive to work will be - I’ve spotted plenty of fallen trees just around my neighborhood.  And rather than hit the road, here I sit, wasting time! 
I’m in a very blah and fuzzy mood [...]

Speechless!

Why is it that I can’t speak to him?  The first time we met, I’d no issue talking to him!  I saw him as soon as I walked through the door and thought to myself “I’ll have that”.  It’s good to have a goal right????  And now I can’t speak to him!  I just sit [...]

Who knew???

Shocking moment of self-discovery this morning!  Get your mind out of the gutter, fecking perverts!!
I’m a girlie girl!  It’s awful!  Atlanta G is by my side, reliving the (as she sees it) funnier moments from last night.  Enter cute guy, who I’ve got a crush on.  Exit all my abilities to speak and have a [...]

I’m baaaaaaaaaaack!

Who missed me??? Anyone???  Hmmm…………fine then!  I’ll carry on regardless!
I had the best trip!  My eldest nephew has turned into quite the chatter box and his baby brother is full of smiles.  It was so good to be home and just relax.  I’m sure the Parental Units didn’t find it too relaxing with all their [...]

My last night….

My bags are packed and I’m ashamed to admit I’ve purchased nothing!  Not a new pair of shoes or a bag in sight! 
Just finished watching the football with Dad and wondering if I’ll be able to watch the game tomorrow - I should be back in time.   Though, having said that, the fecking train [...]

To appease the masses

Enough with such public tantrums - I haven’t abandoned ye!  I’ve just been having too much fun to give much thought to ye lot!!
Big Bro flew back to London yesterday, and tomorrow Big Sis heads home.  Tomorrow is my last day, and as predicted, the past few days have simply flown by.  This [...]

A weekend of surprises!

Who’d have guessed it?!  This morning, Big Sis surprised me when she woke me up!  I’d no idea she was flying in!  Apparently she didn’t either, until after she spoke to me on Thursday night and decided to book a flight!  Mum, Dad, and Big Bro knew she was flying in.  Baby Bro and Sis-in-law [...]

What a morning!

I’ve had a nice nap and am back, full of the joys of life.  I’m still waiting for my ears to pop after the flight and it’s driving me insane - obviously not a good idea to fly when you have a cold.  Live and learn, eh?!
My cousin flew in last night and Big Bro [...]

Greetings from Limerick!

Wooohoooo!!  I be home!
“That be the secret??” I hear ye ask!  Well yes!  That be the secret, and it was a secret because the Parental Units had no idea I was coming!  Surprise!!!
I’m amazed I didn’t break down and tell them; it took every fiber of my being yesterday not to grab the [...]

Eugh!!!!

I’m sick!
I’ve got a pounding headache, a shitty shitty cold, and I’ve spent the morning throwing up!  I think I lost a lung driving home from work last night and every part of me aches.  I haven’t been able to sleep for more than 4 hours a night this week and all the [...]

I have a secret!

And I wish I could share my excitement with ye but that would just ruin the surprise!  All will be revealed on Friday! Can ye wait that long????? 

Adventures in bra shopping!

I can’t believe I haven’t written about this sooner!  A prime opportunity for ye to laugh at me……….oh yeah, that’s why!
Last week saw me heading to the mall with 2 co-workers to a store that specialized in lingerie.  One girl loves the store and had raved about it, so off we popped.  Thoughts of new measurements [...]

Dude, go away!

Hehe, I said dude!  How very surfer-ish of me!
Have you ever met someone who just bugs the crap out of you??  There’s one guy who managed to accomplish that in mere seconds, and there’s absolutely nothing he can do to redeem himself in my eyes!  I feel so very sorry for his wife!
It [...]

Where’s your teepee?

Over the past few weeks, I’ve met quite a diverse group of people.  Some accepted me, complimented me on my accent, asked intelligent questions about Ireland and why I chose to emigrate.  Makes for a very nice conversation.
The others proceeded to bash foreigners of all creed and color, after hearing that I’m from Ireland, and [...]

Words…………

You’ve got your usual offensive words that people either toss around like pancakes or refuse to utter. 
For me, the most cringe-inducing word in the English language is moist!  What a horrible sounding word!  And that’s the only word that comes to mind; I’m fairly comfortable with tossing any other word around.  Unless ye remind me [...]

February 6, 1958

A broken heart
A broken dream
A broken plane
A broken team
No words were said
A silent vow
We loved you then
We love you now
The red flag will always fly,
For Man United will never die.
Never to be forgotten.  February 6th, 1958

Thanks R!!!

This whole dating lark

Is detrimental to my ego!  I’m a mere shell of a creature now!  I used to be bubbly and outgoing, but those days are gone!  I’ve worked the “please help me catch my dog” routine, I’ve worked the “oh woe is me, my car won’t start” routine, and I’ve sunk so low as to work [...]

When to talk to a friend?

If you know in your heart of hearts that a friend is making a mistake in matters of the heart, do you let them know or leave them to live and learn from their experiences?
Are you willing to hurt her feelings (it’s always a her who wants to have the “talk”)?  Are you willing to risk [...]
