So, as I have been chatting around and posting comments in forums and on blogs, I have made some great new friends, and I have been called 'Grace' (referring to the show Will and Grace) by Michael - so sweet of him- and I have a couple of new little brothers. All around I would say a pretty good way to spend a Saturday night. I am usually the one that people turn to for advice or for a shoulder to cry on. Maybe it is because I am a good listener, maybe it is because I have been through a lot of
Ok so some of you know that Chris and I have been viewing houses to buy.Today we saw two, one would have been a kinda total decoration project and the other is ready to move into. So ive fallen in love with the second house, Link to the house.We were going to ask our solicitor to make an offer for it. Now for the anger part.to make the deposit Im going to withdraw most of my savings. Chris was going to use money placed into a trust fund his Gran left him a few months ago. Now when she died she
Let's set the mood for this post by saying straightaway that I had a shitty day. Actually that's not true. I had a pretty good day. Everything pretty much went right, no real issues. I'm just in a bad mood and I don't know why. Maybe it's rainy and cloudy...that can make me melancholy...I could never live in Seattle, or Juneau. So I'm sitting at home reading papers (like I do) and my phone rings...it's my mother. We chat for a bit, and then she tells me that I really seem adamant and outs
OK, so I have been trying to decide what PMS means to me... it is something that I am usually lucky enough not to have to experience, or should I say my husband is lucky enough, but these past few days, ok, I admit it, I have been a big ol' B**CH!! Now I have wondered if it stands for 'putting up with men's shit', but now I think it might be ' putting up with MY shit'... I dunno. We officially had a fight over something dumb, since we were both saying the exact same thing, but what I needed or
Well, I'm hungover today, but I'm pretty sure I had fun last night. My bf and I got invited to this party, and honest to god, I wanted to be dorky and go to the museum today, so I said we were only gonna stay for an hour or so. Yeah, well. I think we got home around 6 am. That great dispenser of wisdom, the guy who made the previously mentioned Ninja Turtles remark, was there, but unfortunately I can't remember anything he said. I need to start taking along a tape recorder. I do know that a
Don't you just hate it when you pull up to the gas pump and turn off the car, get out to go pay for your gas and the credit card part of the pump is out of order and now you have to go inside and wait behind twelve people trying to buy a cup of coffee before work on your day off? Hmmmmmmm... I definately DO!! Oh, and I had to park my car on the grass today because it is street sweeping day so I don't get a ticket and so now my husband is gonna be ticked off since he is trying to grow new grass
I've been trying really hard not to complain about this, but I think I can either get it out of my system here or commit murder. Two of my roommates are absolutely great. They try to keep the noise down, they share food and stuff with us, they ask if we need anything, etc. The third, the one we share a bathroom with, is the world's biggest jackass. He's already given me several lectures for stupid little things (mostly him being a clean freak) but tonight he freaked out and started screaming at
Kanye west calls end to gay bashing!usa todayabc newsI applaud Mr. Wests comments on the MTV show all eyes on Kanye West. It's just one step towards an accepting community. To have such a high profile musician say something like what he said should serve as an example to all.Green
Today I was faced with a situation that I never hope to be in ever again. I was confronted by a friend of a friend asking me to stay away from our mutual friend. apparently this person thinks that I spend too much time with said friend. I was taken aback by this persons request as I havent seen our friend in about a week and before we only saw each other about once a week. It really bothered me and I informed this person that I hadn't seen said friend and that we barely talk now adays.Needless t
So, first I want to say that I stayed up LATE last night since the hubby was out with the guys, and I read a great story by a great writer... and loved it!!So on my day off today, besides the usual boring household chores and the new ones that I have acquired since the little bro has left, I went grocery shopping. Now I hate having to do this on my day off since I work in the grocery store I hate having to go when I don't have to. Anyway, I buy so much stuff that a clerk has to help me out to th
So, today was the big day!!! Little brother went off to college... all by himself... five hours away He came to have breakfast with me on my break at work since I had to be there at 3am and he had to leave before I would get home. He was telling me a story about how he and his 'semi-girlfriend/prom date' went out to lunch yesteday and how she was crying, so being the amazingly strong big sis/ mom figure in his life I waited till he drove out of the parking lot and then I had my breakdown... N
So you'll all be glad to know that I actually don't have much to complain about today. My bf and I had an argument this morning (big surprise there) but something productive actually came of it, for once. See, he has a college degree, but he works as a cook. This is a long story, but basically he couldn't find anything in the area in his field, and I was still in college, and so we couldn't move. He had a go at graduate school, hated it, and quit, which really confused me because he's a very sma

Well, I thought it would be interesting, since I have never seen any of you but I have a mental picture in my head of what I think you all look like to guess.Vic - I know you are filipino, so obviously olive skin, dark hair and eyes, I think slim since you exercise.Jules - Semi total long hair dark brown, and slim, kind of "punk" maybe... hmmSnowy - Medium build, great eyes that no one ever gets to see.Mark - Tall, dark hair, strong features.Dom - Dark hair and eyes, fit body, strong features,
There once lived a king, King Myron, who ruled over a large land named Gafa. King Myron's conquests were formidable. He had built his realm from a small fiefdom into a large kingdom, annexing land after land. There came a time in the history of Gafa where this growth had exceded King Myron's ability to effectively administer the kingdom. Gafa contained a diverse population, and the lords of the realm were a fractious bunch. In a brief border altercation, the Flower Lords were defeated by th
So, today as my husband was leaving for work he comes back in the house to tell me that I have to take him to work because he has a flat tire and doesn't have time to fix it before work. This means that I also then have to drive back at lunch time to take him to get some lunch since he is without a car and then go back when he gets off work and bring him home. Anyway, while we are driving back from lunch, I pull up behind this truck at the light and he has bumper stickers all over his rusty old
Hey,Isnt daytime Tv great. Today we woke up at like 8am, Weve sat watching American comedys on one channel then a programme called 'This Morning'. There special guest was Mark Owen of Take That fame, it's amazing to see just how shabby looking he's got over the years. Sadly though weve decided to get up now I suppose we will have to carry on painting today, im just wondering if i can pull the sore head from paint fumes trick again *sigh* better go and grab my roller or Chris will get moody th
For those of you who have kids, let me ask you this. Have you ever had one of those days where your kid does or says something so unbelievably out there that you are wondering if they have learned ANYTHING from you EVER? Well, my daughter, almost 10 and in the fifth grade, yesterday is telling me a story about how she and her dad were at the grocery store and in the checkout line she saw a magazine cover with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie on it. She proceeds to tell me that Angelina stole Brad fr
So it's 5:30 in the morning, I lost count of how many beers I had, and I'm feeling less long-winded than usual, but I wanted to write about two things just so I don't forget them. Apparently blue hair says to people, hey, I'm really outgoing, come talk to me about stupid crap. I was leaving my building at around midnight or so, and this 40-ish guy comes around the corner and gets a look at me and says, "Ooh, are you punk?" I gave him a weird look and mumbled something, and he started rambling on
I was watching my usual highbrow, intellectual television programming tonight and caught a South Park episode about dancing. "You got served" sums up the theme. Anyway, in that episode, Stan makes a comment to Butters: "You might as well go to France with all the other pussies." That comment struck me with the inherent bias Americans seem to hold against France.Bias, you say? Well, we like their luxury goods, as does most of the world. The French corner on that market was established by Lo
Ok, so I was at work the other day and I was behind a counter looking for something that I was not finding, (of course) and I made this whistling noise... anyway when I look up there is this guy standing there and I get a huge grin on my face because I am kind of embarrased thinking that he probably thought I was whistling at him which, of course, I wasn't. So, I ask him "What can I do for you?" and his reply to me was "Anything you want with that smile" Corny... anyway so my question for
