Here I am -

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You keep falling apart and getting put back together again. It takes strength to let go -- and also to reconstruct. That you're willing to do it means that you're really living life to the fullest.

**********

I am living my life to the fullest. I have fallen apart many times in the past few months. Honestly if you go back in time (through the life of this little blog) I have fallen apart more than one person should. Sometimes I think that it is weakness. Hopefully I am wrong, and it is really more a wonderful rich life full of highs and lows. Oddly, something about this horoscope cheered me up today.

I am a Friday's child giving apologies. I have been informed that I have been negligent in my Friday's child duties. I give and I give and I give and it is never enough. le sigh However, I will offer an apology to my cubicle mate for my negligent behavior. To appease her I am posting this little hunk of maleness (her choice). Of course, I am bitterly jealous at the moment - she is flying to Vegas for a sin filled weekend, I am unpacking. BOO! Wish her luck in her quest for misadventure.

Thursday Thirteen

I know that I have neglegected my blog a lot as of late. Things just don't seem to want to go right in my life. I am trying to stay upbeat and postive, so it makes it harder to discuss them. It seems to pull me back down. Hopefully things will turn around soon. I am trying to be positive.

Anyway, here are 13 things (good, bad and ugly) that happened to me this week:

1. Moved on Saturday, movers were 3 hours late and took an hour more than I had hoped.
3. Left behind moldy couches….
2. Air conditioner did not work, discovered Sunday.
3. Plumbing appeared not to work, discovered Sunday.
4. Stove does not work, discovered Sunday.
5. Ice maker does not work, discovered Sunday.
6. Landlady is out of the country.
7. Air conditioner repaired Tuesday morning! WHOOP!
8. Bathroom floods Wednesday, thank goodness I still have a shop vacuum left over from last apartment.
9. Bathroom issue fixed on Wednesday.
10. Landlady returns to country, very apologetic.
11. Promise of new stove and toilet, Thursday.
12. Half of my things are unpacked – that is a good thing.
13. I still like the place, it is cute, hopefully all well be better soon.

This week Friday's child is giving her old apartment the finger. I am moving on. Hopefully to a drier location. And in a startling turn of good luck, I had driving ticket that was dismissed this morning, no muss no fuss. Brilliant!

I would like to think that my bad luck has run its course. But as I pack my apartment, while listening to the sounds of thunder, I have to wonder.

Today has been a grueling day - thus here are thirteen reasons that I need a large cocktail, or even just some tail. (opps!)

1. Waking up this morning and having to move everything I own to high ground (i.e., couch and bed).
2. The DMV.
3. People that go to the DMV smell funny. I mean, not me, but the rest of them - stinkypoo!
4. The DMV computer system works through a satellite, and the weather today prevented it from doing its job.
5. The fact that this happened - ummm, about 2 hours into my wait at the odoriferous DMV.
6. I have a bump (nay, pimple) on my chin plus wet weather hair, and I had to take a photo that will haunt me for years. Peering up at me from my wallet.....
7. The fact that when I finally left the DMV - the sky was falling. Literally - vast amounts of water poured from the sky. Thus causing serious street flooding.
8. Leading to this little fact. My boss is a jerk. No really, he is. The police and a seriously flooded street stood between me and the office. His response. Circle back and try another route.
9. It took me 2 and a half hours to travel less than a mile.
10. Did I mention the hair?
11. Fear that I will go home to a flooded apartment.
12. Crappy bean soup, that I spent way too much for because it was "healthy," and I am trying to be the same.
13. The fact that I risked life and limb, well okay, my car to get to work, and I am sitting here with time to write my blog.

Hmmm.....I wonder what would have happened if my car flooded out in a icehouse parking lot? This post would have been a hell of a lot perkier that is for fucking sure.*



* Damn straight bitches, I have a mother fucking rating to protect.

For my Jade....

Let the jury decide.....

Friday's Child

Giving you something kissable.

Also I am going to share the story of meeting "the boy" (working title) at the request of Mailyn...so everyone gather around the air-conditioner (here in Texas that is much better than a campfire).

It was a balmy Texas night. I had just gotten my hair done (gotta love that Arthur!) My friend was insistent that I come out to a singles’ party with her. I did not want to go. I did laundry, I went to dinner, I wasted time, but she kept calling. Finally, I relented. To hear her tell it, he was immediately by my side and never left. I recall being introduced to him, and then wandering around with her. Later he was standing silently beside me. Not speaking. So, I mustered up all my courage and started talking to him, the rest is history.

Good Karma Days

An unexpected communication may come today from someone connected with your career, dear Pisces. This is good news, but it may be so off-the-wall that you might walk around in a daze for a while, trying to make sense of it all. Don't agonize too much! Whatever it is that's suddenly coming to you, you've worked hard for it, and you deserve it! Think of it as a karmic reward if you like! Take a friend out to celebrate. Enjoy your day.

I just love good karma days!

Thursday Thirteen

Yesterday was the birthday of "the boy" (working title). So in his honor, I think that I will post the 13 things that I love about him.

1. He is a science fiction nerd
2. Beautiful blue eyes
3. That whole sexy, intelligent glasses wearing thing. Purr….
4. He is the most positive person that I have ever met. I mean seriously, the guy is upbeat
5. He has the same quirky movie taste that I have
6. Lovely kisser
7. Barney Rubble feet – honestly, his feet look just like Barney’s
8. Loves live music; and is willing to go, and do and/or see just about anything with me
9. Boyish smile teamed with an infectious laugh
10. He loves to wear button down shirts and jeans. I mean really, how hot is that?
11. Appreciates the whole “wine glass on the patio with some funky jazz playing” scene
12. Thinks going grocery shopping with me is romantic (how cute is that?)
13. A wonderful sense of humor

Friday's Child

giving you words to live by.....

"If your day feels like a struggle, make it a double."

Come and rest your bones with me...

Sunday morning rain is falling
Steal some covers share some skin
Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable
You twist to fit the mold that I am in
But things just get so crazy living life gets hard to do
And I would gladly hit the road get up and go if I knew
That someday it would bring me back to you
That someday it would bring me back to you
That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on sunday morning
And I never want to leave
(Maroon 5)

I hear the front door open, and a soft voice calls out my name. I call out that I am on the computer. Silently he dips around the door and plants a kiss on my cheek, “You should tell everyone how our luck has changed.” Chagrined, I don’t even tell him that I don’t often blog about him. I guess perhaps it is time to discuss him. All the first kisses and such have long passed. I was scared to discuss first dates. As if the failing of each new relationship would be too much. So I waited. It has been quite a while now. But I waited. I guess now is the time to begin sharing.

So wish me luck……

Thursday Thirteen

I woke up feeling like I did not want to go to work today. It was a desperate and intense feeling, thus I did not go. Deep in the final hours of Thursday, I have been inspired to list thirteen places I would like to be -

1. London, England - Drinking an Old Speckled Hen and digging on those accents.

2. Hawaii - standing on the beach, staring at the surfers.

3. Italy - enjoying food and wine.

4. The whole state of California - stalking bloggers - mwah.....

5. Miami, Florida - stalking again.

6. Feeding jelly beans to my chubby pit bull on my ivy covered porch.

7. Floating in a huge hot bubble bath, glass of wine in hand, music blaring.

8. New York, New York - shopping, shopping, shopping

9. Las Vegas - Damn, I love those neon lights.

10. Wrapped in my beta boy's arms.

11. Austin, Texas - surrounded by funky laid back Texans, grooving on wonderful music.

12. Denver, Colorado - with my arms wrapped around my newly engaged hippy loving ex-roomie.

13. My childhood bed, with the blankets pulled far up over my head.

Woo Hoo

Mingle² - Los Angeles Singles

I guess all it took was a few good fucks. Hmmm....isn't that always the way?

I also think that Holly's racy comment helped.

PG? Fuck.....

Mingle² - London Singles

This is the third time that I have tested the rating of this little blog. Thankfully I have managed to kick up the racy topics a tad. The first time I was rated G. I mean seriously, G. I have discussed sex and porn. I have cussed and lamented about my broken heart. I am determined to make it a little more feisty around here. Fuck, fuck, fuck.....
