Decisions!

To stay in a situation that makes you neither happy nor unhappy?  It’s just there and you wonder how long you’d have gone on, if it weren’t for the “interference” of someone else. 
Not a good interference, where they’re looking out for you.  It’s more all about them.  And had you not been in that situation [...]

Moving on?

Ok, so we’ve all got ex’s.  We’re all someone’s ex.  Some are able to maintain a friendship with an ex afterwards; I’m friends with a couple of ex’s and they are the best friends a gal could ask for! 
On the other end of the spectrum, you’ve got the ex that just won’t go away.  They [...]

When did it become ok

To publish pictures of grieving families at the funerals of their loved ones who were tragically killed?  To go so far as to publish pictures of the deceased laying in their caskets?  It’s not just in papers here in the US, I’ve seen the same thing in Irish and English papers also. 
How about a little [...]

Mind games

Having had the same conversation with various girlfriends over the last few weeks has left little doubt in our minds that we all come to the same conclusion - dating sucks! 
The mind game that is dating someone new includes the cryptic comments from guys, the lack of contact at times, the is he or isn’t he into me, the wondering if we [...]

Happy Day!

I have my car back!!!  Compared to the vehicles my friends kindly let me borrow over the last three weeks, it feels very light and zippy - many, many thanks go out to the generous (and brave) souls who handed over their vehicles to me! 
Things are really starting to look up for me - I’m [...]

A disturbing observation

An insight into the workings of a friend’s mind.  She says that a man’s index finger is proportionally correct to what he’s got going on south of the border.
You know what that means?????  It means I’ll be checking out the hands of every man I come across!  Friends, co-workers, neighbors, random potentials in whatever watering hole du jour [...]

Relationship post - consider yourself warned! :)

There comes a time in every relationship where the “talk” comes up.  You know the “talk” - it’s the “can I call you my boyfriend and will you forsake all others?” talk.  Or it could be “are we just friends with benefits?” talk.  Sometimes the talk is good, though it may tend to freak out the [...]

It’s all over!

What a weekend!  First off, thanks to everyone who supported St. Baldrick’s this weekend.  As far as I know, the fundraising goal at the Watering Hole was more than met!  It’s a great cause, one that’s near & dear to my heart because of my favorite little man over here.  He was diagnosed at 6 [...]

Another week over……….

It’s been a quiet week; not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing - it’s just a thing!  Once again, I’m feeling all sorts of blah but I’ll get over that.  No major plans for the weekend but that usually changes.  Mayhaps Fado tomorrow to watch the rugby.  Followed by a trip to the [...]

Moving on………

I shouldn’t have regrets - can’t change the past after all!  I can only learn from this, and move on.  Chalk it down to another of life’s lessons.
We ventured down to check out the new Fado on Sunday - it’s beautiful!!  It was a training day for the staff and was full of the old [...]

Regrets!

Isn’t it amazing how one incident can have such resounding effects?  Effects you never dreamed would happen?  Because of one thing, I have someone who is less than happy to see me now, he’s worried about a friendship and possibly feels that further contact with me might jeopardize said friendship, and he feels guilty about what’s happened [...]

It’s that time of year again!

You got it - St. Paddy’s Day is fast approaching!  And with Paddy’s Day comes St. Baldricks. 
The mission of the St. Baldricks Foundation is to raise awareness and funds to cure childrens’ cancer.  Please be sure to check out http://www.stbaldricks.org to see if there are events being held in your area or to make a [...]

Feast or famine!

All or nothing.  Why does it always work out that way???

Some good news!

Initial inspection of my car says it’s not totaled!  I’m so relieved about that!
The thoughts of going car shopping and starting a whole new car loan was making my skin crawl!  Still no major aches or pains from the accident - thanks to Dr. K for that I’m sure! 
I’m still nervous to drive [...]

I’m surprised!

Given the whole airbag in the face and all that yesterday, I’m not as stiff and sore as I thought I’d be.  That’s probably the only good thing I have to report.
Looks like the insurance company are going to total my car, because the airbag did deploy.  Crushie’s going to help me on the car [...]

Happy Birthday!

Did ye detect the sarcasm there???  It was a good weekend - actually it was a great weekend!  
It was all well and good until this morning - driving to work I had a car accident!
I’m fine, the person I hit (yes it was my fault) is fine.  I’m waiting on the [...]
