Return to Self…

For the past several months, I have been spending a lot of time with the BF.  He got a new job and he had to move, so I’ve been spending a lot of weekends at his house helping him finish his remodeling project.  Needless to say, I’ve been spending so much time with him that I’ve neglected my own friends and my life. 

Now it’s time I return to myself.  It started last weekend, Friday night I attended a friend’s 30th birthday party, solo.  Then Saturday night, I had a girls night out with a couple of my girlfriends from high school.  Oh no, firends, it doesn’t stop there…  This weekend on Saturday, I am going to have another girls day, with another group of friends.  The plan is to spend the day at a frou frou fitness club.  The kind that people spend the day at.  They have an on-site spa, restaurant and pool on the roof.  Then after that, we’re going out for drinks and then dinner.  A very excellent girls day out. 

I’ve also decided to go ahead and book my yearly trip to Greece, without the BF.  He’s been very wishy-washy about booking a ticket and commiting to a date range.  So, I told him the other night that I was going to book my ticket and if he wanted to meet me out there he was more than welcome, however, I wasn’t going to wait for him anymore.  So, THERE!!!

I see that my life is moving on, with ot without me.  I prefer it move on with me!  I’ve decided that I’m going to back off from seeing soo much of the BF.  This summer is my summer.  I don’t want to end my relationship with him, because I love him to death.  I believe that pulling back just a bit and re-entering my life, I’ll be more self-assured and therefore, become more attractive to my BF and myself!! 

Why I Love BBC America!!

Two Words!!! A show called “Transvestite Wives”!!! I’m flipping through the channels, following a day of re-cooperation from a nasty cold. As I’m flipping through the channel guide I saw the two most wonderful words that put together mean Blogging gold!! “Transvestite Wives”. It’s a fabulous show!! Basically it profiles men that are “normal” during the day and then at night and on the weekends they dress up as women. Oh, joy!!!! There’s nothing I love better than a Hot Tranny Mess!!

Here are a few pics from the show’s web site…

17 Weeks Later…

I just had lunch with one of my best gal pals, Z.  Z had a party last Saturday to celebrate her completing grad school, Congrats to her!!  Unfortunately, I had to miss the party because of my Maytag Man.  Since, I had to miss Z’s BBQ, we decided to get together for lunch today.  Every other time we plan to get together, she punks out on me because of some lame work stuff.  Anyway, Z told me today that she is expecting her first child!!  YIPEEE!!!  Holy Shit!!  Awesome news!!  Then I asked her how far along she was and she told me that she was 17 weeks along. 

17 weeks, I thought.  Let me do the math, that’s 4 months and a week!!  WTF!!!??  Thanks for telling me in a timely manner!!  Anyway, I’m extremely happy for Z and her hubby Y.  They don’t know what they are going to have, so we’ll just refer to the baby as X.  So, here’s hoping that X, Y, and Z will be a happy and loving family!! 

CONGRATS!!!  Love ya!

Happy Cinco de Mayo…

I have to mark the holiday and say Happy May 5, to everyone!!  I am guessing that May 5 is some sort of Mexican Independence day.  Whatever is behind the day being a holiday, good times!!  I’ll have a Margarita or a Tecate to commemorate the day.

In other news, I had a really great weekend with my BF.  I drove up to Michigan Friday night and spent a great weekend with my man!!  I drove up Friday night and attended one of my BF’s co-worker’s house party.  It was a good time!  We got drunk then decided to go to a bar called The Boathouse.  On our way out of the house party we (me, BF, Whore-hey, and Hairy Chuck) noticed that the garage door was open, so “the boys” decided that it would be a good idea to empty some of the contents of the garage onto the lawn, roof, bushes and trees.  Needless to say, the owner of the house was not happy and it was the best laugh I had had in months. 

The BF house “sprucing up” project is coming along quite nicely.  I have been driving up to Michigan every weekend for the past month to help move things along.  We have gotten the cabinets, doors and drawers primed and painted.  The walls in the kitchen are primed, sanded and ready for paint.  All the new appliances have arrived.  The stove was set into place and on Saturday we hung the microwave/oven hood combo.  (That was definitely a 2-person jobber)  We also went and picked up the new counter top.  So, yesterday, we pulled up the old counter-top (actually the BF worked on that while I touched up the cabinet doors).  Then we measured, re-measured, taped and measured again on where to cut out the hole in the new counter-top.  After an hour and a half of careful planning, we cut out the hole and safely inserted the sink.  PHEW…  We set down glue and quickly mounted the new counter-top on top of the old cabinets.  All that is left to do, in the kitchen, that is, paint the walls and lay the new floor!  I’m very excited about this, and it isn’t even my house. 

All in all, it was a great weekend with the BF, hanging out with his friends and making real visual progress on his house.  I look forward to having a kick-ass party when we’re done!!

Happy News!!

I haven’t told anyone this, so my friends who read this blog will be totally surprised!!  Last night, I got a surprise visit from my significant other, Paul.  We live over an hour from each other so we rarely ever see each other during the week.  So, last night he popped over with a surprise for me…

He proposed!!!  I said yes!!  I am now engaged!!  YIPPEEE!!!!

Weekend Drama Wrap-Up

This weekend was very busy in the the drama category.  There were 2 different episodes  of drama.  First being, the ever present rift between 2 of my girlfriends which came to a head Friday night, technically Saturday morning.  Of course, it was over a man!!  The second being, the long break-up sequence between my brother and his girlfriend.

Let’s examine episode #1. 

Here’s the looong story.  A little over 2 years ago, Thelma dated Ken for 3 months.  Ken dumped Thelma, because he thought she partied too much and spent too much time with her friends.  This totally broke Thelma’s heart.  Because they live in the same neighborhood, after several months they became friends.  Last February, Ken was hanging out with Thelma helping her with some home improvements, and he confessed to her that he was in love with her and wanted him back.  Thelma, quickly rebuffed his advances saying that she had moved on and it was too late!!! 

The very next night, Thelma had a party at her house, where Ken met a girl named Louise.  Louise and Ken went home together that night, and subsequently spent the last year together.  Here we are at the present time, last Wednesday, Ken admitted to Louise that he didn’t love her the way she wanted him to love her, and Louise ended the relationship. 

The issues at hand.  Thelma and Louise never became close because of this situation.  There’s always been a bit of tension between the two.  When Louise and Ken first got together, he asked her to keep the situation quiet because he was still working out his feelings for Thelma and he wanted to tell her himself.  After a month, she finally told Thelma because Louise needed her to know.  Thelma gave Louise her blessing to go ahead and date Ken.  Although, Thelma gave Louise her blessing, Louise has always felt that Thelma still had feeling for Ken that she never admitted to.  End of the situation!! 

Fast forward to Friday night.  Friday was set up as a girls night.  It was myself, Peaches, Louise and Thelma.  We were all drinking having a good time.  We first went to a bar called Krem, and it was less than fun.  I write about it in another blog.  After a bit, we went to a neighborhood bar called Loom.  When we got there, it was game on, the girls proceded to get trashed!!  I was driving home, so I took it easy.  I left the bar first.  Then Peaches left.  So, it was just Thelma and Louise.  So, Louise started bringing up the whole Ken thing and trying to explain it away.  She was trying to smooth things over with Thelma because they have several friends in common and they always see each other out.  Thelma, apparently, had no wish to discuss the past with Louise.  Of course they’re both drunk by this time.  And as I heard the proceeding details it got bad!!  Louise is talking to Thelma, Thelma interrupts Louise and says, “You’re such a liar, I went on vacation to Mexico, and while on vacation I decided I was going to take Ken back, then I come home to find out that you’re fucking the man I love!”  She pushes Louise and walks out of the bar, gets in a cab and goes home!! 

At 3:30 in the morning, I get a phone call from a drunk, hysterical crying Louise.  She was saying that all her doubts and fears were realized.  The whole time Louise was dating Ken she had fears and jealousy that Thelma secretly had feelings for Ken.  And Friday night, her fears were realized.  Now, she fears that Thelma and Ken will reunite and those feelings scare her to death.

Uggg…the drama!!!

Episode #2…

Coming Soon…I haven’t the energy to post any more about the weekend drama!!

Dear Abby…Part Whore, I mean 2!!!

Ok, this is just freaking funny!!!

Man cheats on wife and mistress

December 9, 2007

Dear Abby: I was the other woman for seven years, involved with a man I thought was perfect. His wife knew about me. It was never an issue until he fell in love with me. After that, things changed. He began making promises and told me as soon as his wife got herself together and found a job and a place to live, he’d divorce her and be with me forever.
Two years became three, three became five. Finally I realized he’d never do what he promised, so I ended it. The problem is, he’s my boss. He was my best friend, and I still had some hope. We see each other every day because of work, although I am considered an independent contractor.
A year after I called it quits he finally filed for divorce. A few months later he met this new woman. He says he loves her, but I still hurt. Every day is another day of holding back my tears, another day to hide my pain.
Today I met a woman who is a member of a group I belong to. She mentioned she knows a man who would be “perfect” for me. She said they had dated a few times over the years. Abby, the number she gave me was his. While we were together he was seeing this other woman! I am devastated.
I am still in love with him. How can I make myself forget him when we still work together? Please advise. — Weeping in Chico, Calif.

Dear Weeping: Forget him? People only learn from the mistakes they are willing to remember. Dry your tears and get out of that office NOW. As an “independent contractor” it’s time to declare your independence. Finding a job with better benefits should be a breeze, considering that all you have to show for this one is heartache.

Now, here is what I would have written…
You’re a stupid whore and you deserve what you get!! You were stupid enough to let him fool you for 7 years and how could you not think that he wouldn’t cheat on you too?? Move on with your bad self. You know you deserve better, you just need to believe that!!

Now here’s a blog with a lesson!!!
