For the past several days, there has been a "monkey on the back" of many of our blogville family. I'm not sure where this monkey started but the first I heard of it, Mr.Monk- GPs for the poor  was doing a blog and said the monkey wasn't his. Then someone said Mrs. Whatsit was the owner. Well, I kidnapped the little sucker and sent the following ransom message (made from magazine cutouts)  to Mrs. Whatsit and posted it again in Nada 's blog!Y-O-U-R__M-O-N-K-E-Y__H-A-S__B-E-E-N__N-A-B-B-E-D S-E-N-D__F-R-U-I-T__A-N-D__O-T-H-E-R__S-T-U-F-F L-I-K-E__I-C-E P-O-P-S__A-N-D__C-H-O-C-O-L-A-T-E Well, in the meantime, *Barbara Maria* went to the store and bought that kind of stuff plus some hienies... Mrs. Whatsit sent the ransom so I had extra  BUT Mrs. Whatsit said to send the dang monkey to bugzy is baaaccck!! . I did as instructed. She had no bananas, only lettuce and carrots and the thing turned on her. We received an urgent message yesterday that the monkey had a gun to her head! Later in the day, she was released unharmed but they were having trouble getting him through customs!!  Seems his passport was expired. Well, this morning I learn from Mrs. Whatsit that she now has HER monkey back. Oh, and she also says it's a pretend monkey. I think we might need to order some therapy for her. In other happenings, welkerdeb is deeper and deeper into the pumpkin addiction and is dragging everyone in with her! Even Mr. Wrong is questioning whether she is off the meds again! terryjroo is no exception and seems to realize that she is an enabler. Maybe the whole dang bunch of us need therapy!!!!!Luv ya, mean it  |
Yesterday, I did a blog on a bio I wrote about me. I received so many wonderful comments that I had to continue with the story. I started that bio as a list to myself. Who am I? Where do I want to go from here? What makes me tick? Then the list became it's own persona. It grew out of control and ended up being more true than I really wanted to believe.  Normally, when you make a great blog entry, someone will suggest making it a static item for your port. Well, seeing as how I am always a little bass-ackwards, it was suggested that I include the bio in my blog....... Without further ado (what is ado, anyway)The Me You May Never Know I detest Fake people, Bugs, Most vegetables and Those who make fun of my eating habits or my southern drawl I am Simple but elegant....... Intelligent but not cocky...... Not clingy but self-assured...... Not rich, but pay my bills on time....... Not gorgeous but proud of myself....... Not lazy but able to relax in my own company or that of others....... I am Fun loving with a sense of humor. Selfish to a point Fickle, moody and impolite Indecisive but sure Stubborn and opinionated Friendly, polite and socially acceptable, at times I am also A rebel with many causes A risktaker Mult-orgasmic; much to the dismay of most women and the delight of most men Delightful, angelic and personable The devil in a dress Loyal and crazy and A bitch with no regret I can be Energetic and enthusiastic Lazy and lethargic Compulsive or Addicted A fighter, a lover and a workaholic I have A passion for yellow roses, Mickey Mouse, rain and anything red... A very good job, my own house and car. A wild side but can be subdued A Forked tongue that will cut you to the depths of your soul Many close friends and even more close acquaintances I love With all my heart, soul and body; Passionately and deeply and hate with the same emotional response My own company but can be lonely in a crowd..... Good humor, good times and almost any kind of music. To dance, sing and enjoy life as an adventure. Drama, and get bored with the mundane I can Adapt to country bumpkins or Wall Street lawyers.... Usually get what I want…. Don’t always want what I get Be your best friend or your worst enemy; sometimes in the same day Seclude myself at the drop of a hat I can also Snub my nose at you Bring you to ecstacy Make you love me and hate me Make you want me more I enjoy life and all it has to offer. .... I Live to the fullest and portray a positive outlook I live for your kind words that console, inspire and encourage me. I laugh loudly and from my belly and sob when I cry. My eyes tell a story… full of laughter and sadness and pain When I’m happy the world knows; when sad, no one does You can bring tears with a mere slip of your tongue And delight me with the simplest touch I will protect you until the bloody end But drive the stake deeper if you prove my loyalty unfounded If I die tomorrow I want you to remember me And know, without a doubt, that I had no regrets………………… In the words of Duncan MacLeod, “IN THE END, THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE” There is no other like me; of this, I am sure! PS Thanks welkerdeb for the pumpkin. Now, I just need something PROFOUND to put on it! Any ideas? And be nice!  |
| Did you miss me? I took a few days off to really think about me and my happiness and where I go from here. I realized a few things about myself and decided to share them. I wrote somewhat of a biography to put in my port. SEE::::
Our happiness depends on us; not on those around us. I hope you guys have a great day!! |
| First I have to give you a little history before I continue with this entry. I am not a high maintenance woman. In fact, I have been told that I can be somewhat frugal. I think the word "tightwad" has been used more than once. I can stretch a dollar from here to tomorrow. I have driven the same car for ten years. I very rarely shop and shoes are my only real weakness. That being said, I will continue with the story.After the trauma of saying goodbye to Susie, I did something that I may latter regret. I doubt it, but you never know. My girlfriends and I have always said when you trade, you should trade up. This has proven to be wise advice whether referring to men, jobs, living arrangements or cars. After two or three years of indecisiveness, I bit the bullet! I am now the proud owner of this little beauty!  Beauty ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** And the Beast! ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** Ok, so now to name her!! Any ideas!! Something hot but with style. Something out of the ordinary but catchy. I had a tag on the front of Susie that had Mickey holding a yellow rose with the words "Class Act". Obviously, I can't put that tag on the front of this beauty. Whatcha think??? |
| There are times in your life where you are destined to meet a tried and true friend. A trusted steadfast friend you can count on whenever you need them. Susie is that kind of friend. She’s been my travel companion for many years, always ready to go at a moment's notice. I received word yesterday that she is now terminal and will not last much longer. She has been with me as traveled many miles from home to Charlotte to Oak Island and Oak Island to Charlotte. She moved many loads to my new abode when I ran away from home to venture out into the world. She carried me from Charlotte back home when my dad was so sick. She has lead me to Asheville a few times for some fun. We have been to the Raleigh airport more times than I can count. She’s been a true friend; by my side through thick and thin, ever ready, never failing. She has slowly gotten older and is failing at a rapid rate. You see, Susie, is my trusted car. Stop laughing! My trusted companion was born in 1997 and I rescued her in 1999. She has taken me over 168,000 miles! Now that, in itself, is enough to bond us to more than car/owner relationship. My auto mechanic has been telling me for months to find another. Several years ago, I tried. I couldn’t find anything to compare so my “friend” bought a new top for her and had some extensive work done and she has made it a few more years. Last weekend, she gave me signs that the end was near. She is now in the hospital. She is spewing fluids and drinking lots of oil. Susie has been a good friend. I’ll miss her!  |
| There is so much drama that goes on in our world that I had decided not to write about this situation and to try to deal with it on my own. I can't..... I need the moral support of my virtual friends who I know will come to my aid..... The story..... I have been dating a guy for almost five years. This guy will remain nameless. We have had some rocky times but for the most part a good relationship. We enjoyed the same things, had a physical and emotional relationship and both had similar personalities and quirks. The connection between us led to five years of bliss. Well, the time has come for that to end. It's hard to let go of the familiar. It's hard not being able to call and tell him about my day or listen to the chronicles of his life. It's hard to change things that we become dependent on. I wish him no harm and truly hope that he finds things that will make him happy and content. Sometimes, things just don't work out and even when you know it's for the best; the first few days, weeks, months are the hardest. He has released me from the emotional rollercoaster. The reason for this blog entry is so that you know that though I will have a smile on my face and a good joke or a comment that makes you laugh; I'll be a little sad at the ending of something good and the beginning of the unknown. The tag I sport on my car says "Time-4-Me". I truly hope that time is now. If you have any good advice as to how to make the first few weeks easier, please share them. I guess I stood on those tracks a while too long and the train came......but I couldn't move. Whew, I feel better and I will never mention this subject again..... Onward!!!!! Luv ya, mean it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUX2Xell30g Thanks susanL for the great reminder of these lyrics. Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming................ GOSH, I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I NEEDED THAT!!! Just keep smiling  |
** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** Anybody, seen this guy?? Bring him back to me..... Right now!!!! Luv ya, mean it |

Best in the world You're so fine, girl you're one of a kind Sweet Carolina Girls Carolina Girls Sweet southern pearls You're so tough, ooh I can't get enough of you Sweet Carolina Girls I love the way you walk (walk that walk!) I love the way you talk (talk that talk!)

Sweeter than candy, hotter than heat More precious than diamonds, girl you can't be beat.. OOOOOH!!; (beach music by Chairman of the Board) Oh hi, guys! I have been to a beach party.... Some of the locals decided to have a party to celebrate the near ending of tourist season. It was loads of fun. They even had a cookout and played bocci ball and horseshoes. It was all beach music so the crowd was older . They had plenty of umbrellas and everyone could hear the music. They even made a makeshift dance floor and had a contest. Tonight they have North Tower playing at the beach club. For those of you who don't know beach music or shagging, boy have you missed out. I have laughed so much my jaws hurt so I'm off to the shower to wash off the sun and the sand. I think I need a nap...... |
| I just finished reading an article online and had to tell you guys about it. It concerned ways that people stop seeing someone or breakup with them. Then I did a search and by the time I finished reading, I was laughing so hard, my jaws were sore. I started thinking about stupid ways that men end relationships. Most men have the common decency to do it in person but there are some that choose the easy way out. There was even an episode on Sex and the City where Samantha got dumped by a sticky note. She was highly upset. Anyhoooo, the article goes on to give tacky ways to break up. So, tell me...... What's the tackiest way you've been dumped? Did he send you an email? Did he leave you a sticky note? Did he send a friend to tell you? Give me your best breakup tackiness..... I need a laugh today! Oh, and here's the link if you want to read it...... http://www.askmen.com/dating/curtsmith_150/154_dating_advice.html or http://www.onlinedatingmagazine.com/columns/jennifersgems/05-breakupetiquette.ht...
