And it’s my kind of Friday. I don’t work until the midnight so I am planning a day of housework, reading and relaxing. These days are so rare where there isn’t an urgent need to be places. So when comes along I’m loving it.
So what’s on my mind today? Relationships. As u know I was married once and I was married for a long time. Some of those years were great and some sucked. But it all helped shape my attitude towards relationships today.
1) Love and marriage are not the same thing. 2) True love means loving the whole person. Not part of them. 3) love isn’t about changing someone. Its about growing with them. 4). If someone truly loves you they will fight to be with you, fight to keep you and fight to keep you safe and secure.
The truth is next time there has to be all these things plus laughter and respect. I will settle for nothing less. I got 40 or so years left on this planet (God Willing

Happy Easter my friends well one day late but if ur like me u either have leftover food or candy to continue the celebration. I hope it was enjoyable and relaxing. The Cox family had me over for an early Easter Dinner and it was just yummy. Then with a full tummy and a smile I went into work.lOl. I must admitt the best part of my new job is how fast the day goes. I love all the energy I’m surrounded by and I don’t feel my soul is being sucked away. Lol.
Single life is good. I enjoy my time with friends but man do I enjoy my alone time. Not adapting to another persons schedule all the time. Sleeping when I’m tired and not feeling bad because I’m not giving another person quality time. I get more rest now, but is small doses.
I have a road trip planned to Ohio in the next couple of weeks. This is the year me and most of my high school friends turrn 40. So my friend. Sheri and I are road tripping it to help our old friend Kim. Celebrate.. it should be a blast. Well time to get busy friends. Hoping all is well with u!

One of the ladies that work with me is eating gluten free and I miss her eating with the rest of us on Tuesday night.  We eat as a family in the home where I work and just this month she celebrated her one year anniversary with us.  She is just a kid, really young enough to be my daughter but she is so responsible and so kind she is one of my favorite people to work with.

So for our first Gluten free Tuesday I found a recipe for a Mexican Casserole that I think we’re all going to love.  And there is a web site http:/www.momables.com where I found out a lot of great stuff!  I think in July for our birthdays (mine is the 7th and hers is the 141th) we will do the chocolate cake!

So what do you write about when you have nothing to write about?  The news?  Could be but I haven’t seen it.  The weather?  Sure if I want you to go to sleep.  So what?

The answer:  Fuck If I Know.

I’m at my folks right now just chillin.  Mom had surgery and got home today.  Want to see how she does on her own and when she needs help I am here to help her figure shit out.

Cut my hair.  Not that anyone gives two shits one way or the other but I feel much better.  Have to take my girls in for a bath and a shave.  Then they will feel better too.  Time for summer cuts all around.  Sheba and Cali look cute shaved. Meeya looks stupid but she will feel so much better.

Time to treat the house and the lawn for creepy crawlers on the inside and out.  Looks like they are going to be bad this year since its only March and they have been showing up in my bathtub.  I’m sorry I like to chose who I shower with! lol.

And other then that all is well.  Hope it is in your neck of the woods too!

Ever since I was a little girl I’ve had the unibrow thing going on. Because my hair was light it was difficult to see but as I aged it began to show. Then in my thirties my hormones changed and I started to get the chin whiskers. Those are great on a cat but not so great on a woman.
I have plucked and waxed but I always end up a big puffy mess. Then one day I went to a salon and literally stumbled into the idea of threading. Threading uses well sharp thread to remove and shape the eyebrows and make my chin as smooth as a babies butt. There is some pain when its being done but I don’t look like raccoon after and it lasts for three to for four weeks. I don’t talk much about beauty crap on here but man I love this shit. It helps me feel like a lady and for me that is rare.

I lack energy or wisdom tonight so I’m going to keep it simple.  You are loved.  By me, by your friends and people you may not even realize.  Every single day somebody wakes up because of you whether you know it or not.  So smile and just be you!

With my new position in my company I am meeting and working with new people. With some it flows like beer at a kegger others I want to shoot myself before the day is over. One lady and I have hit it off and she was telling when her little boy uses the restroom to poop he has to get naked. Doesn’t matter if he just got dressed for the or is getting ready to leave the house. I thought about it someone I lived with has to take off his jeans and underpants when he is home too. Is this a guy thing? When I use the restroom I just pull my clothes down and go. I’ve been asking around ladies don’t seem to undress to go but there are a number of guys who do. My question is why?

So what to talk about today?  Hmmm… Well lets see… My bed.  Yep I’m going to talk about my bed.  Why?  Because other then work which I can’t talk about I don’t have much else to write about.

My bed is a king size bed.  The one bought at Rent a Center for my husband and I when we were to damn poor to buy one outright and I got tired of sleeping on the mattress on the floor.  This is the same bed where my Kiya, Tyler and Baby slept many of hours with us until just last year when I lost them both to old age.  And where I slept almost every night my with my ex until about seven months ago.

Now its my bed.  Its has a sheet set not just the bottom sheet now.  It has two comforters because I love being cuddly warm.  It also has five pillows to fill what had been empty space for a while.

Lately I have been leaving my bedroom door open at night and the younger cats who would not have dared to try to share the bed with the older ones, the humans and the dog are snuggling up on the bed.   I have to admit makes me feel less alone.  For fact they will move pillows to where they want them for comfort and aren’t afraid to let me know when they think I should get up.  It’s like they are saying it’s alright Momma we’re here.

So now I have to wash my comforters a little more often because of the fur and I have to be a little more careful when I roll over in my big bed so I don’t bash anybody in the head.  But to hear Meeya snoring, Cali sneeze and mew before she falls back to sleep and have Sheba curl up with me its worth it.  King size beds aren’t meant for one person especially when the can be enjoyed by the family.

Ok folks I know the holidays are stressful, expensive, emotional and tiring but if one more person pisses on my attempts to get in the Christmas spirit Santa is going to be visiting me in jail. I just finished a seventy-five hour work week. I’m tired and sick and yet I still tried to put some fucking Christmas into my days. So what if I sing off key! Come sing with me. Who cares if my cookies are store bought. They are still cookies. Who cares if someone spelled your name wrong on a Christmas card. They took the time to send you one. And for crying out loud shut up about how realistic the Santa isn’t at Walmart. Some little kid could be listening. I haven’t got my house decorated other then a snowman in the front window and car repairs have left me broke. BUT I’m counting my blessings this season. I fixed the car, I have a job and there is a snowman in MY window. That along with love and friendship is a cause for celebration!

Its the very early morning hours of Thanksgiving Day and I’m at work. There have been some changes to my job that I would love to tell you about but I can only talk in general terms. Like I got my second promotion within the same year. I’m getting to experience different aspects to my job and yet I am still blessed with working with everyone that I love. This means I will be missing some holidays with my family but they understand. In the cheesy tradition of what I am thankful for I’m thankful for my family. My friends, my job, my pets and my home. Happy Thanksgiving everybody! And I hope this is a great start to the holiday season!
