Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Would someone please explain to me why it's easier for some folks to take family members for granted than people we've known for a short time? Don't give me that, "they're your family and know you'll love them no matter what" crap, either! I don't buy that for a second.


Seriously......why is it easier to be an asshole to someone you "love" than someone you you barely know? Do we try to look better to new people because we've accepted that the family member knows our flaws?


And, really if we have flaws shouldn't we try to work on them instead of embracing them? Doesn't Oprah or Maya Angelou or some freakin' 21st century guru always say, "when you know better, you do better?" Yeah, I call bull shit on that statement!


I need to go out and buy a punching bag today!

Update: I realized while getting ready for a business dinner that I've managed to lose a clothing size, so a punching bag will no longer be necessary (for today, anyway)!

2nd Update: NEVER bring your kids to a business dinner, even if the dinner is with your ex-brother-in-law and he insists!!

Thank you, HOJ!

Leave it to House of Jules to send me just the inspiration I was looking for.....




Hell yeah!! That's what I'm talkin' about.....welcome back Motley Crue. Where the hell have you been all my life? I felt like I was in middle school all over again when I saw this. All it lacks is Tommy Lee in some crazy harness drum thing twirling over the city of LA!

A call to Action!

It's been almost a week since my last post! Wow! I've been a busy girl. I got over strep by attending a Jimmy Buffet concert Saturday, and pics of that wonderfully fun experience are coming soon!

OK, now on to what's on my mind today.....and I warn you, it's nothing pop-culture-ish or funny. It's a call to ACTION!

I've been wondering for several days as I impatiently wait for my Jimmy Buffet pictures (you-know-who-you-are) what I could write about in lieu of a run down of last Saturday's concert. I kept coming up blank. Nothing. Nada! I had nothing interesting to say about anything.

I scoured different web sites, both funny and serious. Nothing! I even started two or three posts, but still.....couldn't begin to tie any of my thoughts together.

What the hell's going on here? I've only had this blog for 3 months. I can't be tapped out yet!

Then it hit me.....I've had someone very close to me completely betray my trust and make me feel so angry I could punch the wall and another friend that is so down in the dumps, it's making me wonder about his mental stability. In other words, I'm being sucked dry (and not in a good way)!

So, I'm putting the call out to all my blog friends: I NEED SOME POSITIVITY SENT MY WAY. I NEED TO BE INSPIRED. I NEED TO SUCK SOMEONE ELSE DRY (Hey Ohhhhh) FOR A CHANGE! ;)

SEND INSPIRATION ASAP!!!!!
