I stole this from a MySpace headline and thought I would share. Reminds me of something I recently said to someone. Not my exact words, but pretty freakin’ close!!

“A pessimist is one who feels bad when he feels good for fear he’ll feel worse when he feels better. -Anonymous”

PS I’m anonymous

I hope everyone had as good of weekend as I did!! This is the brief of it:

Friday- Long, but interesting drive. Keep in mind, signs that SAY rough road, mean HUGE 6 in deep potholes that will tear your car apart. Almost died countless times due to semi drivers who don’t check lanes before switching. Saw a deer smashed on the road by a Tahoe. And that was just the drive to Tara’s house!! Met Tara’s family (super cute, btw), got tattoos, had dinner, and then we went to bed.

Saturday- Hung out with Tyler all day. Less than ‘magical’ Magic Hill, ice cream, saw ‘the shit’ and boiling, cold springs, partied, and again, went to bed.

Sunday- Spent time with my family!! Helped clean my brother’s awesome new home for the parade. Just really enjoyed my family. Headed home rather late. Pretty good drive until I didn’t take the toll road in Indiana. Yeah, remembered why I should have when driving for 45min through the ghetto of Chicago at midnight. Oh and then in Chicago, a fellow Wisconsonite FREAKS out on me!! I switched lanes to pass a slow car and didn’t realize the car behind me was going 80mph!! He zoomed up on my butt and I got back over after passing the car. He honks and passes me. Well he couldn’t keep a constant speed so when he passed me later, he made all kinds of nasty hand gestures and just pretty much was freaking out about it!! CREEP!! Okay, so he was total WT with his wife and 3 kids in his Chrysler LHS with paint scratches all over the back end. Hmm? Wonder if that was due to the fact that he drives like a complete ASSHOLE? Best part, I smashed a deer 45 min from home My car now has issues and I’m praying that the impact killed little bambi.

Monday- Woke up LATE (got to bed at 2:45am). Went to the beach and chilled for about 3.5 hours until I got a most unexpected phone call. Yeah, said person SHOCKED me, but we ended up having dinner, so that was a nice end to a fabulous weekend!!

Again, hope you had almost as much fun and excitement as I did.

Today is the start of my first week of vacation from school. Already don’t know what to do with myself. Had some errands to run, so first stop: Kohl’s. Pretty normal, just made me want a house REAL bad. All kinds of fun outdoor type stuff that I wanted, but can’t buy. After that, a trip to Fleet Farm. Now this turned out to be kind of interesting. I was looking for break pads for my car, they need to be changed out, and I FINALLY found that area and the book to look up what I need. Well there was no nice young man to help me find what I needed on the shelf and I didn’t really know what I was doing, so that was a bust. Guess I’ll go to the parts store and have the nice man behind the counter get them for me As I was walking out of this fabulous store, out of the corner of my eye, what do I see? None other than…iodine utter wash!! I was like, WTF is that for? DUH, the cows, but still!! I have never seen such a thing in my life and was a little……shocked by it. Gets even better!! In the parking lot, a sweet ass mini with duct tape ‘bondo’ on the back end (at least it was all one color). It was then that I realized I need to find a new place to live Oh and I had to stop at Wal-Mart, but I don’t think there is any explanation required on that one. But while at Wal-Mart I decided to buy a Mt.Dew, yeah, reminded me why I don’t drink soda very often!! May as well drink sugar mixed with Karo syrup or something!! ICKY!! Anyway.

I guess it takes all kinds of special to make this world work and where else can you find THAT kind of special? Only in B.D., WI?

Oh and the school that my ex husband wanted my son to go to, drove by there and what do I see? A shit ton of short buses? WTF is that? My child should NOT be on the short bus!!!

Try, try, again……right? I decided to jump right back on the frisbee train today and it went much better The only water my disc hit was in the mushy grass!! It was a lot of fun even if my son and I are not so good. No water for either of us, but I did see another ‘golfer’ fish out his frisbee!! Almost asked if he would mind going in and getting mine, but decided against it. That’s all I have to say about that

This evening I’m using my new mini grill and it’s GREAT!! I had to assemble it, but no problem for a super woman like me Yeah, so I did put a few pieces on wrong, but I figured it out right away. HA!! I had this charcoal bag and you just light the whole darned thing and set it in your grill, right? Well it was a wee bit windy, so we had to light about 800 matches to get the thing going, but we did it. My son was ALL about lighting the matches. Get the thing lit and he’s giggling away saying, “I wanna watch it BURN!” I think he might be a pyro, but I’m not sure just yet. He was ALL about watching the flames and as soon as they died, he lost interest. He kept saying it was a building, boat, or whatever burning. Made me a little nervous that he’s going to be a fire bug like my brother, Scott. Oh well. As long as he doesn’t start torturing small animals!!

Another highlight of my day, going Frisbee golfing. Yeah, that was a disaster!! We started off just fine….for the first two holes. My son warned me that the third we were going to have to make it across the water. I thought, I can do it. That was my first mistake! No, I could not do it and my frisbee tanked right in the middle of some weed filled ick. We pondered for a few as to how we might get it out without actually going IN the water. I finally said, screw it, I’m going in!!! Take my shoes and socks off, roll my pants up to my knees. Now, I knew the water was going to be cold and mucky, but I wasn’t ready for what happened next. Step in and OH SHIT, sank in up to my freakin’ knees!! Yeah, my ass climbed out real quick like as I said goodbye to my pretty pink frisbee. Shoot, that thing was $7 and that was its first and last use Oh well, better luck next time.

Now that everyone has had a good laugh at my expense, I’m going to get back to grilling. Hopefully I won’t burn the place down. Of course with my luck as of late, don’t be surprised if my next blog includes a new house and the fire dept!!!

PEAS!!!

I recently discovered that this woman is just about as jaded as me BUT, I do loves what she has to say!!

ENJOY some lovely words from Ms Dorothy Parker:

“Four be the things I’d have been better without:
Love, curiosity, freckles and doubt.”

“By the time you swear you are his, shivering and sighing, And he vows his passion is infinite and undying- Lady, make a note of this: One of you is lying.”

“This wasn’t just plain terrible, this was fancy terrible. This was terrible with raisins in it.”

“The first thing I do in the morning is brush my teeth and sharpen my tongue.”

“It serves me right for putting all my eggs in one bastard.”

“Love is like quicksilver in the hand. Leave the fingers open and it stays. Clutch it, and it darts away.”

“You can drag a horticulture, but you can’t make her think.”
on being challenged to use the word Horticulture in a sentence.

“I shall stay the way I am because I do not give a damn.”
