Summertime...

and the living isn't much easier than it ever is but... the beautiful skies and gentle breezes sure make it seem so. I've got the lawn mowed and my tomatoes watered and now I'm taking a lunch break. Ham sammich and chocolate milk... MMMMM, good! :P

Thought I'd share a couple songs I've been doing laps on the yard to! I felt the funk coursing through my body!

I knew I wasn't done...

Whew... okay, I'm just gonna say it! MEN! Damn it! Why are all men nuts? Honestly... I know everyone has nutness within them, but I can hide mine pretty well and deal with it on the side. Why is it men get to display their nutness openly and freely, without consequence? I'm sorry, I can no longer accept this!

I am 42 years old and I'm done dealing with "boys". I'm talking about fully grown men, old enough to have kids with kids. Does it ever end? I was hoping that I'd get one of those men who finally understood that they really can't keep up with those young things they desire so much! I'm a patient person, and I own a vibrator... so... I thought I could get through the rough years. I think I'm screwed, and not the in the way I had hoped. It seems the older men get, the bigger the male ego becomes. Perhaps they've retired "comfortably" and they have money to lure these young things their way... Christ, I don't know. Apparently, men do not mind if girls are only with them for the money. It's a hard spell to break.

I can't help who I am, any more than anyone else can. I know there is a real human being out there somewhere! I just know it! I have a lot to offer the right person. I'm fun, I'm fairly intelligent, and I no longer care if you grow hair out of strange orifices. THAT has got to be a plus! Come on, I'm really trying to give here!

AND! I don't care what anyone says, this song says what I mean!

Long time, no see...

I say that as if people have been anxiously awaiting my next blog! Bah...Haaa...Haaa!
Oh well... I can live in this fantasy world if I want to!

The reason I haven't written lately is because I've spent the last couple weeks being pissed off, and who wants to hear about that? You do? Okay... well, here goes.

I spent last Monday waiting in the most ridiculous line you have ever seen, for a semi-famous American Idol runner-up. We arrived at the venue about an hour and a half before the show, and the line was already ridiculous. By the time we parked, walked over to the venue and went to the bathroom... it was unreal. We walked at least a half mile to the end of the line. It was hot, everyone was on edge, and we were waiting in a line, in the grass, right on a freeway. I'm not kidding... we were on line on a major freeway! Doors were supposed to open at 6:30... the line did not move an inch until 7:00. To make a long story short... this was the worst show I've EVER seen. DO NOT go to an American Idol's show. It's horrible. I took my daughter to this, thinking it would be a great first concert. WRONG! She's probably scarred for life, and has no desire to see live music again. We did not see anything on stage the entire time. BUT... we did see plenty of things we didn't want to see. Anyway... I'm just glad it's over. I guess, after all the wonderful concerts I've seen in my life, I was due for a bad one. I just wish it hadn't fallen on my daughter's first concert.

Adam Lambert... please get better management!

On a good note... my daughter made the All Stars, and I could not be more proud of her! The tournament is this weekend, wish her luck! She is so cool, and I can't wait to see her shine!

Also... I understand that a person I care for has fallen ill. Unfortunately, we don't really speak to one another anymore. If he is as passive-aggressive as I am, maybe he's reading this... if so, I have something to say. I think about you daily, and I KNOW you're going to be okay. It's a hurdle that you'll get over, I know it. Also... I'd like the name of your physician, because I think he's an idiot. :)

Okay... I think I'm done for now... but I'm foaming at the mouth, so who knows?

That which does not kill me only makes me stronger...

God, I hope that's true. Honestly...it's been a rough week. Why is it you can trudge along and get by for ages, but when you really need things to work out... that's when everything goes haywire? WHY?!?

My son moved out a few weeks ago and used up most of his resources in that endeavor, that's when his car decided to act up. He's been treading softly with it, and it seems to be going okay... for now. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I've finally had to accept that my father probably has Alzheimer's disease at the ripe old age of 65! 65... I never thought I would consider 65 young, but the older I get, the younger it seems. I hate the fact that he'll never be the same. I hate the fact that he won't get to participate in his grand kids lives and that they won't get to have the real him in their lives. They'll never know his keen wit. They'll never understand just how smart this man is. They'll never understand that a lot of who they are, filtered down through him. I'm in mourning for a living person... and that just sucks. Alas, that is way things are, I suppose. Knowing that doesn't make it any less of a bitch.

My car... by the way... has also decided to be an asshole. Right after I had written my checking account down to about two dollars, my brakes decided to go out. I decided I'd rather go down in a blaze of glory, rather than stop... and drove it the rest of the way home. Obviously, I made it... not that anyone's doing cartwheels over that. :P

I'm always aware, though, that there are people in this world going through far worse than I am. My problems are petty and few, but they are mine, and I only bring up the ones that affect me the most. My heart goes out to those with health woes and those that are victims of natural disaster, or any disaster... for that matter. What ever you are going through, I hope you come out okay. The only advice I can give is... take a deep breath, count to ten, and know... this, too, shall pass.

Thought I'd post some music my son and I recorded. I'm hoping we get to do another couple songs this month. :D

Can you use that in a sentence, please...

Sexy. How do you define that? It's a quandary, isn't it? There are many things that make make a person sexy. Looks, especially... but everyone has their own opinion of that, huh?

There seems to be a universal appeal of some, such as Brad Pitt, George Clooney, and of course, Johnny Depp. But, of course, we live in the real world. So... we are left with, if you will, average looking fellows. So... what is sexy in the real world?

If you're like me... it's a great sense of humor, which indicates intelligence. You simply can't have humor without intelligence, you CAN have intelligence without humor...not good.

Confidence is a very attractive quality as long as it is backed up with ability, otherwise, it's a joke. There is nothing more sexy than a man who knows what he can do and proves it. Period.

If he's good in bed, he must be a player. Totally wrong. It's as simple as this... there are people born to be lovers, and those who are not. If he is good in bed, just be happy, it's a gift... be gracious and accept it. Quit questioning everything. If you are a good lover, why can't he be?

Sex and sensuality... it's what keeps us up at night, isn't it? I love and live for it. I'm in my forties and the need for it is as strong as ever, maybe stronger than ever. I love it, to me... it's vital. It IS life. It's what keeps me from jumping off a cliff. That's all I need to know.

I'm born again...

That's right, I'm a born again Reds-lover. I absolutely love this team. After a ten year hiatus of baseball, I'm into the thick of it again. It just took one game, and I was hooked. The Reds have a rookie pitcher named, Mike Leake... and OHHHH! What a pitcher he is!

He's such a great player! He catches more balls and participates in so many plays that I'm just baffled! Why aren't there more players like this guy? If I was ten years younger, I'd be a roadie for the Reds just because of him.

Phillips... wow... I love this guy. He has speed like I've never seen and makes phenomenal plays. He's just incredible.

I love Rhodes, I'm just frustrated that they don't let him pitch more. I love his beginning stance... the way he lets that arm hang down. It's so exciting to see him throw.

Arroyo... is awesome. One of the best out there.

Votto.... Mmmmm, I just can't wait for him to come to the plate!

The new Big Red Machine? If there ever was a team to come close, this it! GO REDS!!!!
