The truth.. you can’t handle the truth

ha… great quote. Anyway… alot’s been on my mind lately. So this here might be the tangent to end all tangents. Which is saying alot considering I’m the rambling queen. Anyway… so today I’m 8 weeks and 3 days along. Which is actually really exciting for me. Lately I’ve been so focused on other things that I kinda forget about what’s happening with me as a person…. today I was reminded of it, when I had a crazed surge of hormones that rendered me totally irrational and lacking in self-confidence. Thankfully, I’m blessed with amazing girlfriends, who have all gone through this before.. so they walked me through it. The lack of self-confidence was a bitch of a moment for me, since normally.. I believe I’m pretty cool, somedays I look … Read entire article »

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday…

So… after all that procrastination, I didn’t have to work at the club last night. Money wise… I’m bummed but overall… I feel pretty lighthearted about it. It just wasn’t really right for me. Plus, I walked into chaos…. the two guys that I normally worked with- well, one wasn’t even scheduled, and the other was stuck upstairs in the room that basically does zero business until summer (rumor has it) and truthfully, part of why I’d stuck it out was because of these two guys… they made it fun, and worthwhile to go in. Plus, we’d all worked in the same room together for awhile now, and had a basic rhythm down… which is necessary for that bar since the way it was designed was more for visual … Read entire article »

Crock Pots (complete w/ typos)

Not the task to take on if you want to reap the rewards of your hard work…. sometime in this millennium. ha. Today… I embarked on aforementioned crock pot adventure… right now it’s merrily working it’s way toward an concoction of red bell peppers, garlic, lemon, chicken broth, rosemary, pepper, chicken and artichoke hearts. In another hour it should be done… ironically- now that I’ve waited a grand total of 5 hours for my experiment to hatch.. I’ve managed to eat everything else in arms reach… and quite frankly, if another food related item comes anywhere near me… I might explode. I have to marvel at the amount of snack food my (once) little body took on today… starting with oatmeal, moving into almonds, a hard boiled egg, snap pea … Read entire article »

The Year Of Upgrades

I’ll be right back, this is gonna need some liquid fuel. *commercial break* Ok… coffee in hand, music on, tucked into my favorite jammies- and I’m ready to roll. First, I have to share this horoscope……… it’s not mine but it’s still bodes well for me. haha “Leo -  December 25, 2008 The celestial configuration may bring you closer together to a certain person with whom you have recently become romantically involved. Neither of you has exactly rushed into the relationship, yet you both have the intuition that you are meant for each other, and so time is not really an issue. You both feel secure in each other’s company, and are very content to deepen the bond between you” Anyway, so I’ve been thinking alot about what I want out of 2009. Since I spent Nov, Dec & … Read entire article »

Merrily Unhappy

Yup. This is gonna be quick & dirty. I’m in a horrible mood and am having a hard time shaking it this morning. I hate those days that you simply wake up and want to rail against the world. For some unknown reason, I have zero patience with work, the family, the boy everything today… well ok, mostly work…. everything else is progressing at it’s normal pace and I guess it’s just frustrating since we’re supposed to generate revenue here- for this week, and I find it hard to even get a meeting set up. For starters, we’re out of the office starting xmas eve…. as well as the entire city seemingly being gone already for the holidays. It’s just a freaking battle with the only thing on the line, … Read entire article »

Cocaine Fiends

ha… the title has nothing to do with anything except it was the first DVD on my shelf that I saw, when I looked up thinking “hmmm… what should I open this tangent with” and voila… it was either that or Attack Of The Giant Leeches and/or Dead Like Me. All great films for various shoddy content. Well, the Dead Like Me series is actually amazing but sadly it’s no longer on the air… Attack of The Giant Leeches, is exactly what you would expect. Thin story line and weak special effects. I love it for all it’s cinematic Blob-like niche horror flick-ness. haha Odd sentence structure but just roll with it. This last week at work was insane. We’re all holding our collective breaths to see what’s going to … Read entire article »

Loose Threads

I don’t really know where to start right now. Do you ever have those days where the thoughts are running rapid fire around your mind, but there’s no structure to the thought process? If I could just get the ideas in my head organized, I’d be able to grab a string, and yank the words out. A proverbial loose thread in a conversational sweater. I want to muse about the act of falling for someone… the stress of work, the economical black hole, the budding hope of our new president elect, the fact that I’m still, selfishly, hiding from the majority of the world… it seems if it doesn’t involve one of my BFF’s (Alie), the paper, the club or the boy… I just don’t have time or energy to expend…. … Read entire article »

Walk The Line

Wow… where to start? I spent the majority of the weekend, either at work or in self-imposed social isolation. Which actually, was really needed. At the risk of sounding mellow-dramatic, my SOUL actually needed the quiet time. I read alot, which was great and I ended up finishing two books over the course of the weekend. I had to be at the club on both Friday and Saturday, which was fun… it wasn’t busy, so I got cut pretty early. Which I didn’t really mind. Technically, the club wasn’t supposed to open till NYE, but we were able to actually open the first week in Dec- so the way we look at it, is that all these shifts in between, are just an added bonus. I’ve been hiding from my family, … Read entire article »

The Wait & See Game

Recently I’ve done alot of thinking about relationships and have come to the conclusion that peoples ideas regarding them, are a little screwy. For one, relationships evolve through a process of getting to know each other, expanding levels of comfort and overall good times/ support/ emotional connection. The titles of boy/girlfriend- are irrelevant. Over the years, I’ve gradually relaxed in the relationship department. I used to have the same fears and moments of jealously, as anyone else. It’s a natural process that most people see to go through, until they (or at least me) grew up a bit, and not only set my own boundaries, but discovered that… I actually don’t mind having down time or quiet time to myself. There in was the first revelation, and the … Read entire article »
