You might think that not putting chocolate up inside yourself would be obvious ………..I’m a smart lady and that would seem like a given right? but I’m here to assure it’s not. When you’re young and silly, you are apt to try new things. This is good because new experiences help you grow as a person. This is also …
Mani-pedis Are a Waste of Time and Money on Me
I love being pampered, who doesn’t but I very rarely go out and pamper myself. It’s a waste of time and money. No matter where I go or how much I pay it never lasts…..not ever! Unfortunately I’m not wealthy enough to do nothing all day and the constant use of my hands ruins any work done within hours. Why …
The Step Monster lives…….
Today I’m linking up with They Call Me Mummy and her momfessionals. Here’s a story about a not so great step parent, Me.- Before I had any idea what I was doing, I was in charge of someone else’s child. It was tough and I messed it up, pretty badly at times. Do you think I damaged her much? …
Our New Best Friend
We bought a new coffee machine! Seriously, it was time….. the old one was killing us slowly. We had a system to limp our way to coffee in the mornings but man….. we worked for our morning coffee. Some days I just gave up and went to Starbucks!
The Luckiest Number
On this Nineth day of October in the year of our Lord Nineteen Hundred and Ninety Nine, I had the greatest honour of marrying a man who makes me laugh and cry, happy and sad and pushes me to do things I would NEVER do on my own. Hey I’m writing a damned blog aren’t I? And living in America!
I Survived My First ‘Real’ Subway Breakdown
I had my first bonafide, actual, stuck in the tunnel subway ride on the weekend. We were headed downtown for some awesome family weekend activity, when between 86th and 81st the train came to a screeching halt. Now I wasn’t too concerned to start with because as millions of strap-hangers know, the MTA sucks. Trains stop, then go and some …
Why I Haven’t Watched TV in a Week
We are a techno family, we’re early adopters of technology, we’re on the cutting edge. Ok when I say ‘we’ I’m totally using the Royal ‘WE’. What I mean is The King is a techno man, he’s an early adopter of technology, he gets all the beta tests of programs to try. I get the benefits of this by association. …
I’m An Excellent Driver
Back in ’98 we acquired a 1967 Red Mustang Convertible. I say acquired because around that time we had dealings with certain people who had abilities to make things appear. Not illegally, just unconventionally 🙂 It was an odd time, the late ’90’s, with private jets and long cars and hotel penthouses but that’s a whole other story……. The Red …
I Will Absolutely, Positively, NOT Talk About Sex……….EVER
This is not a sex blog, I’m not talking about my sex life, we’re not discussing sex, ok? I have no tips. That would just be weird. Sex is, or should be, a private act between 2 or more consenting people of whatever variety they subscribe to. We all get that. But it’s private and personal and not up for …
The ‘I Need to Fix This or I’ll go Crazy’ Projects List
I’m compiling a list of projects that I’ve been putting off for a long, long time. Whether it’s because I’ve not had the energy or the emotional strength, that time has passed and I am on a new path of clearing out my life and making way for new things to happen and dwell. So profound I know but I …
