Dog Days of Summer

While WHF has been living in up in California, probably not giving me a second thought, Atlanta G and I have been devoting our time to our doggies. 
Walks by the river, with Wonderpooch deciding to cool off by taking a quick swim, followed quickly by The Doo, who seemed concerned for Wonderpooch’s safety.  And back [...]

Helpful Hints!

After much begging & pleading from a friend, I’ve decided to humor her and once again give some much needed advice to the male species:

Anything purchased from Home Depot is not good gift material.
Promising her some wood and handing her a 2×4 is not funny.
Announcing on a Saturday night that she’ll be a golf widow [...]

Nationality traits?

Some friends have pointed out that, for the most part, the Irish are not an optimistic bunch.  It’s definitely true in my case; I tend to plan for the worst to avoid any huge disappointment.  If I turn out to be wrong, it’s always a nice surprise. 
And even when things are going well, I worry about all [...]

When are you too old?

At what age are you too old to go out and party it up like a 20-something?  Bar hopping and clubbing like you don’t have a care in the world?
I’m not talking about going to your local for a few scoops, or celebrating an event in your or a friend’s life.  I mean going out [...]

A Fantabulous Weekend!

There’s nothing better than a 3-day weekend!  Myself & West Ham Fan had plenty of quiet time & plenty of friend time this weekend, with the usual interruptions along the way. 
We ventured to Fadó to watch the rugby Saturday morning.  As a former Saracens player, WHF was not too impressed when his beloved team fell to Munster in the [...]

Woohoo!

 

What a storm!

Tornadoes, downed trees, scared puppies, trapped co-workers……….last night had it all!  However, I couldn’t get home to scared puppy and was properly berated last night when he refused to snuggle with me and instead sought comfort from WHF.  Trapped co-worker hunkered down in her garage, with periodic phone calls and texts to check on the [...]

And they say romance is dead!

I’m here to inform you that it’s far from dead!  It’s oh so very alive and kicking.  I’m the luckiest gal ever!
 
Yes I’m being sarcastic!

Breaking up is hard to do

It’s even harder when the person being dumped doesn’t accept that they’ve come to the end of the road.  Ladies, if your “man” is dating someone else, you can take it as a sure sign he’s not pining for ya.  Pitching a fit, stalking him, or using whatever other tatics you deem necessary to get his [...]

San Francisco

Hands down, one of the most beautiful cities I’ve visited!  It’s pretty much knocked Chicago off the top spot of “must move to cities”!  It’s such a bright and airy place, it puts Atlanta in the shade.  The people are so friendly - the only ones who had anything bad to say were the tourists, on [...]

Green-eyed Monster!

While I’ve been having a blast with West Ham Fan, being wined and dined, others around me are living the high life!  One such lucky lady has turned in her sassy red shoes, perfect hair and nails, and wonderful outfits all for the sake of lurve.  She’s gladly offered up her weekends to help her [...]

I was recently asked

That if i was to have kids, at that point would I consider moving back to Ireland?
Should I ever be blessed with struck down with pregnancy, I would probably seriously consider moving back to Ireland.  For the wonderful health care system?  Uh……no!  For the commendable education system?  No.  So my wonderfully well behaved little darling(s) [...]

Heading West!

Saturday morning, bright and early, I head to San Francisco!  Big Sis and The Parental Units have a very short layover in Atlanta, so any flight delay on the first leg of the trip will have them missing our flight. 
I’m going with the theory that I’ll probably be making the flight alone and just catch up [...]

Arsenal Fan v West Ham Fan

Where are all the United fans??   Why must the Gods mock me so??  Though I did get great enjoyment from United’s win over West Ham on Saturday!  Others didn’t appreciate my enthusiasm though.  If I thought he read this, I’d apologize.  But he doesn’t, so I won’t!  And we won’t tell him about it either!  [...]

Always the optimistic pessimist

I’m looking for helpful hints - given my upcoming trip to San Fran, I’d like to know what you’re supposed to do during an earthquake?!  Trips rarely go off without a hitch for me.  I’m not dismissing an earthquake as a simple hitch but I’d like to cover all the bases, just in case.
Not that [...]

Rational v Emotional

We let our emotional side override our rational side; we let the “what ifs” smother the facts.  Maybe it’s more a female trait than a male trait.  I know I’ll always assume the worst in a situation and often end up feeling like an idiot when I find out what really happened. 
It’s a hard habit [...]

I rock!

Oh yes I do!!!  While having dinner/drinks with a friend, he told me that I’m a beautiful person, inside & out (no he wasn’t drunk or stoned - as far as I could tell!).  I didn’t bother to tell him that he’d just made the biggest mistake of his life!  He’ll get to figure that out as time [...]
