Naughty or Nice

Last year I was invited to a halloween party and was told I had to dress up. I was surprised that grown adults were actually going to dress up and go outside for others to see them. I was even more surprised that when I decided to go to the costume store that the store was pretty much sold out of EVERYTHING! I purchased my costume and debated all the way home and as I got dressed, was I really going to do this. Well of course I was I'm a good sport and I looked pretty cute. When I got to the party I was shocked to see that everyone in attendace was dressed as something. it was great! I saw Amy Whinehouse, the southpark gang, the disney princesses, Stewy, Lois and Peter as well as a sexy everything you can name. I had a good time. And today, I dress up again, proud this year that I still have the ability to dress up scantly and go to another party...to clean up in my sexy maid costume for my friends 6 year old halloween party.

Birthdays

WOW, OK so my EXhusband's birthday is today. And he asks me... "will you cook me something, for my birthday?" Is he serious? Yes, he is. Does he think he is still intitled? Yes, he does. Why? Why does he think that it's ok and appropriate to still ask for shit? Have I given him the impression that I still like him, like that? Why do men think that? And when do they stop thinking it? Or do they ever stop thinking it? Why is that you marry and have children with a man and they seem to think they still have some type of rights. As little as cooking a simple meal. Those rights ended when the contract of marriage ended. He still asks fro sex. And really thinks that I want to. I don't recall loving it with him then, so why would I even consider it now? will I cook him something? I LAUGH OUT LOUD!

Men...

But I Gotta go, I think something is burning.

Happy Birthday

I think I'm pretty good at remembering things. The basics at least...bathe, brush my teeth, do my hair, get dressed, eat...oh yeah make sure the kids do the same. Then there's the everyday mom stuff that you can put off till tomorrow...laundry, dishes, shop for toilet paper and toothpaste. But birthdays you can't forget! Family and friends won't say they're upset when you don't say something on their day, but deep down inside they're talking about you behind your back. LOL. And it's not that I really forget, I'm just known to kinda give them new birthday dates. So instead of the 24th, I thought it was the 21st. The problem with that is I still forgot to send a card. And honestly, there is no excuse. I can put the date in some kinda reminders system-they're everywhere...my phone, e-mail calendar etc.

HOWEVER....I still didn't send the card. Which leads me to my silly but real issue. I still like paper cards that come in the mailbox on my birthday. And I think some maybe not everybody else does too. BUT...you can send ecards cards to their "e-mail". And even then, you can put in the date to be sent. You can also send a text message or this one killed me..post it to their Facebook "wall", which will also send you a reminder. What the hell?! What happen to the thoughtfulness in going to the Hallmark store, perusing the aisle and selecting the perfect card (5 days before the persons birthday-because you remembered) and then sending the person their birthday card. And in it... would be a personalized message, pictures, money, gift card or something special. I would also find other cute cards for other occasions. I think everyone is just in a rush. A rush to get where is what I wanna know.

But then what happens to the card? What did the person do with it. Trash?! Well FYI...I've kept every single card someone has sent and/or given me....I suppose at some point it becomes hording but hey, I'm sentimental. I did hear that there is an organization that will take the cover of the card and recycle it for something. Maybe I'll research it more. Anyway...

So, if I haven't sent you a card this year, I didn't forget! I just gave you another birthday or simply wanted to send you a card that you got on your birthday. But check your e-mail or facebook wall post...Your HAPPY BIRTHDAY will be there...tomorrow.

Guess it's still the thought that counts

1st best friend

Added note for the day...
So, I really love my friends. But I have to say, with 1 e-mail to let them know I was blogging (LOL, that still sounds so funny to me) my 1st follower was a friend I've had for 25+ years. I haven't seen her in probably 20, but we still keep in touch. It's the coolest thing! Thanks for the support. Love Ya, CB.

Friends...no matter how far or near, they will always be dear.

Getting Started

So, a girlfriend says to me one day "Girl, your life is crazy. You should blog" And I was like,
"What? Blog? Blog what?" She said it didn't matter. The things that happen or have happened to me in the past few years, people would love to hear...They would laugh, cry, jump up and down and be sitting on the edge of their seats waiting for my next "blog". So, I thought about it. Did a little (and I mean little-lol) research and here I am.

She was kinda right, I don't know about the sitting on the edge of their seat part. But some crazy stuff has happened and definatley does happen to me. But I think I can jerk a few tears, crack a few smiles and maybe even get a few people out there to stop and go hmmmmm. I'll take it slow and when the good stuff happens I'll share. Or when I remember the great stuff, I'll be sure to post the memory.

But for starters...Thanks Nelly for the creative outlet.

*Thought of the day (I think I like that...I'm gonna do that when I "blog" LOL) Anyway, You never know which one of your friends will be that friend that makes you smile, brings out the good in you and earns their keep for the day or a life time. (Nel your a keeper).
