"She's so pretty.... why can't she find a boyfriend?"

Ok, I am so sick of seeing that!
First off, what does being pretty have to do with finding a boyfriend? Yes, you're bound to attract nice looking men if you are pretty, but, so what? Just because the man's hot doesn't mean he's Prince Charming.  Look at some of the men that get arrested for domestic violence! Some of them are quite hot! I personally think Charlie Sheen is pretty handsome but, hey, he apparently likes to slap women. You never know what you are going to get under those good looks.  Same for the not-so-hot guys.  They could be a dog but be the nicest person on the planet.  It just goes to show how shallow people can be.  I would rather be with someone not-so-hot and be treated great than to be with some HOT douche bag who uses me as a punching bag!!
I just logged onto MSN.com, and the first thing I saw was an article about clichés or over used sayings. The writer also agrees that this is a pretty stupid thing to say.
I have read this several times recently about Jen Aniston.  "She's so pretty, why can't she find a boyfriend?" Well, maybe under all those good looks, she's a raging, frigin' loonatic! I'm by no means saying that she is ..... I'm just saying.  Who knows?? Who really cares why she can't get a boyfriend.  Trust me, my day will go on whether she's attached or single. People only thought her and Brad looked great together because they looked like they were molded out of cream cheese (stolen from a GREAT movie, by the way!)! See where that got her? So, if I was single, I wouldn't care if my man looked like he was molded out of Play-Doh by a 4 year old! As long as he was sweet, honest and sincere.
So, for all of you shallow asses out there, get a grip! Better yet, get a life!

I needed to vent.....

MAGIC 8 BALL, are you a man?

"Yes, Definitely!"  Seriously, that's the response it just gave me.

I have become addicted to this stupid application.  Every morning, I get up before going out side and ask it, "Magic 8 ball, did my newspaper get stolen again?" Usually it responds with, "Ask again later." I've asked this stupid thing so many questions;  Do these shoes go with this outfit? Is my neighbor gay? Will I ever get paid to write (the answer to that is usually, " Reply hazy, try again")? Will the oil spill ruin my ten day beach vacation? Do you think I'm fat?
I had a real magic 8 ball when I was a kid.  I loved that thing.  I think my mother sold it in a yard sale, along with my sisters ENTIRE collection of the NY Yankees baseball card collection which probably would have been worth a boatload of money by now , all of my 80's concert t-shirts, my ENTIRE collection of the Smurf collectibles, Bryan Adams autographed concert ticket stub ( sentimental value only), and so many other things that I still wish I had.  Though, she did keep my Rubix cube and a Cabbage Patch doll........ whoop- de- shit!  Oh well, who knew, right? Anyways, just thought I'd share my Magic 8 ball addiction with you.

See, back then, we had a ball full of water, and usually full of shit, to keep us busy.  No computers, no internet, no Facebook (Spacebook, as my mother calls it).... no, you "went outside" to chat with friends.
Magic 8 ball, wasn't life better back then? "My reply is SHIT NO!" (this was one of my own responses I added to the list of possible responses) Go figure.........

You know you want me!!!

Ok, this is going out to any and ALL literary agents!!! Don't you want a writer who tells it like it is? Raw? "Can't wait to hear what rolls off her tongue next", girl? THAT'S ME!!  I'm in search of a lit' agent who is willing to take a chance!! You won't be sorry! It will be a win, win situation! Chick lit is where I want to be! I love to write! Obviously  not for the money but because it's what I love to do!!  I write bio's, blogs, resumes, short stories and very creative grocery lists! So, take a chance on me! If you do, I'll dedicate an entire page of my first book to you!

"National Hate on Everyone Day?"

I swear, everywhere I turn today, someone is hating.  It started on Face book and has ended with the National Enquirer at the grocery store.

First thing this morning while scrolling through my twitter page, people were hating on Tori Spelling because her new book came out today.  She was called home wrecker, horse face, anorexic and a slew of other names. Personally, I really enjoy her books and her show.  Yes, maybe she and Dean did get together before they were both divorced.... but, do we know what their "previous" marriages were like? I'm just saying..... people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
Next, there was the "breaking news" that Al Gore left his wife because he's gay. OK, where do people come up with this stuff? And so what if he is gay?? Is this going to effect you in any way, shape or form? The man invented the internet...... cut him some slack!! hee>
Hey, if that's his story, let him roll with it.
Then, poor little Gary Coleman.  Let the man rest in peace already.  Now we're hearing stories that his "surprise" will has shown up and he specifically stated that he wanted to be kept alive for 15 days before pulling the plug.  Two things here.... one, it's too late for that now and two, where was this will? Why did it take over a week to surface? They can't plug it back in and say, "oh, we were a little premature on unplugging him.  Let's start over!" He's gone.... he had no money... he was a sick man.  Let it go......
Then, as I was scrolling through face book, Barnes and Noble (yes, I follow them!)  posted a little something about Tori Spellings new book.  The people were just being so nasty!! I couldn't believe it! I think they ended up removing the post.  I did, however, put in my two cents! They kept saying that she's not a writer, she's stupid, etc.....  yeah, she must be really stupid.  This is the THIRD best seller that SHE'S written, she has a TV show, a children's  clothing line, a jewelry line and now she's becoming an event coordinator.  She may not be the sexiest woman in the world, but she sure does work her ass off! That's why she's probably so skinny!
I just thought it was odd that everyone is hating on everyone today!!
I guess I'll follow suit and go be nasty to my husband now.

Summertime Blues

Summer has just come in with a bang here in Nashville. We went from a few mild spring days to HOT, HOT and HOTTER days!! I believe the temperature today was 100 degrees! This is crazy!

Well, I haven't blogged in a few weeks because my computer was infected. Actually, it still is. I'm on my dinosaur laptop, which I really don't like because it's so big compared to my netbook  and it's harder to prop up on the side of the tub (since this is where I write my, "Confessions from the Bubble Tub").

So, let's catch up. It's hot. I'm disliking my job more and more everyday. I want my computer back. That's about it, really. Oh, on the positive side, I have been hula hooping for over a month and it HAS paid off! If I do say so myself, my ass, the backs of my legs and my abs are looking much better! The muffin top is slowing deflating, as well.

I'm counting down to my 10 day vacation on the beach with my sister in St. Petersburg, FL. I'm packing my bikini (main reason for hula hooping so diligently), a few shorts and that's it. I plan on doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING but laying in the sun and writing.

I'm leaving on July 2nd, the first full day of my being 40. I'm quite sure I'll be depressed so a long stay on the beach with my not-so-Jennifer Aniston looking body, will be JUST what I need. Turning 40 is really getting to me. My son graduates from college on June 24th and I feel my skin starting to sag just thinking about it. Seems like it was just yesterday that I was at his 6th grade graduation.

But, I have decided that this is the year that I'm going to turn over a new leaf. Reinvent myself. Live for me! I'm seriously considering quitting my job to write. Write anything.... resumes, bios, stories..... whatever pays the bills. I wish my blogging paid. I'd love to do nothing but blog ALL DAY LONG!! But, I'm going to start living to make myself happy and less stressed!

This is my plan, anyways......  Cross your fingers!
