What’s wrong with me????
Current mood: depressed
Category: Friends

What is wrong with me???? why are people (men) so superficial???  why can't people just love you for who you are not what you look like, or what size you are or whether your hair is long or short? or red or blonde?  Why is it soooo damn important to men that all women (wifes) look like models and not realistically human???? 

Judging a book by its cover means a person can miss a lot of damn good reading!!!

Why am I upset? Recently it was brought to my attention that I am "not the person I was when we got married", "I have changed".   During a 20 year marriage what, I am supposed to be the same person I was when I was 38????  not grow, not learn anything, not expand my vision,  just stay the same???? So I am not as much fun as I once was or I don't do as much as I once did - I'm 20 years older, I have a 20 year old daughter, I have  more responsibilities than I once had - I am not the carefree 38 year old divorcee who can come and go as she pleases and with whom she pleases and do whatever she pleases. 

Did he age? did he gain weight? is he the same person I married 20 years ago? NO.  He's aged, gotten moody, gets tired quicker - hell, he's almost 70 - what do I expect?  Does that make me love him any less - No. Do I criticize him for his changes - No. Does his grey hair bother me - No.  So why is it so important that I don't change and he does????

Obviously, the person means more to me than the looks - so why can't it be the same with him???  What is wrong with me?????

Promises
Current mood: numb
Category: Art and Photography

She was drinking Baileys on the rocks.   I was drinking Jamieson & Ginger.  She had had two Baileys - me, probably 4/6 Jamieson & Ginger when she made me promise.

Everyone on the tour was going to go have it done - it was exciting - just the thought - oh, what a hoot that would be - wouldn't your father just die!!!!  I chickened out - two more jamieson & gingers would have done the trick but I chickened out!!!  She made me promise!!!!  Crossed my heart and hope to die promise. Now that's a promise!!!!  AND, in true motherly fashion I said, just like any other mother would,  we will do it "some day" and I promised!!! 

I mean, after all, it WAS St. Patrick's Day, March 17, 2006, and we WERE in an Irish Pub, and weWERE in Dublin, Ireland - so, what's one little celtic shamrock tatoo??  just to commerate our vacation in Ireland????  and I promised!!!!

Someday was yesterday!!!! After a grueling, upsetting two days of college advisory meetings, etc., someday finally came!!!!  and where oh where were those jamieson and gingers when I needed them.  Dear St. Patrick, let me give birth to twins, triplets, let me have six more children - but THIS??? NEVER!!!

She was laughing, giggling and was just uncontrollable (I really think it was a stress release for both of us after the two days we had just put in due to college classes, financial aid, etc.).  Anything the gorgeous HUNKY young guy wanted he could have had - but no, did he want anything else - no,  nothing could stop him, he just kept right on, paying me no mind.  Leon was cool - he said I wasn't his worst customer - he still had a jaw left, even if I was just WAY TO VOCAL.  Geeeeez, what did he expect as he inflicted pain on me!!!! It felt like he was cutting my leg off with a tiny little itty bitty needle!!!  and I - the fool - PAID him to do it!!!   PAID HIM!!!!!  What kind of idiot am I?? 

Her turn came and I had to teach her to breath through the pain - you mothers out there know - the Lamaze method - breath when the contraction is going on - nope, ladies, it didn't help!!!!!

Now that it's over, that little itty bitty celtic shamrock (in green of course) it kinda cute but to all of you out there that have tatoos' - you are F.......g crazy!!!!!  That shit HURTS!!!!!  don't tell me it's nothing, it's like a massage on my back, oh, I think it tickles, ahhh it's painless - NO that shit HURTS!!!!!!!  So, now whenever I go to promise anyone anything - I can take a peek at that cute little shamrock and remember LEON and his little itty bitty needle inflicting pain on me and PROMISE MYSELF it won't happen ever again!!!

good morning and what a nice day it is going to be - well, got the news back from the doctor about the stress test - NOPE it wasn't a heart attack I had - don't know what the heck it was but it wasn't 'the big one'.  So, what does that tell me - I have a lot of stress in my life!!!  Between work, work, clients, family - boy it's tough to handle. 

So, like I have to take care of myself, cause no one else is going to and no one cares as much as I do? (sometimes I don't 'cause I annoy people - so I am told but most often I care - I know my husband and friends care - alot - so I will work on it).  I am going to start working less (hahaha), worrying less (hahahahaha) walking again (Jamie's seeing to that - thanks sweetie) and then rest is up to me - hahaha.

well, got to do it - i am not getting any younger and it seems the age is starting to catch up w/me - i get home and do zippo - got to get mo-ta-va-ted!!!!

Current mood: crazy

so, like, okay it scared me!!!!  two days after my 58th birthday, it happened - what?  the chest pains - like not even indigestion - real pressure, radiating pain right through my chest (and what a chest it is) and up my neck.  Yup, called the ambulance - took a ride and spent the night in the hospital!  J stayed with me the whole time - luv that kid!!!! she's the best, J, is!!!  Sometimes I don't know how I get through the day without her - she's terrific!!!! I tried not to act scared, but I really was. 

So, like I am now supposed to be on the ls/lf/nf/nb diet - low salt, low fat, no fun, no booze - sucks!  but once in  a while I can partake - but I don't think I want to.  Ya, now 58 is not old - hell, 78 ain't old - if you don't feel it or act it.  When I got out of the doctor's office the other day, another patient and I got to talking - she thought I was around her age (40-ish).  what a compliment!  Good thing I dye the hair!!!!  

Well, folks, take care of yourself - it only takes a minute for something to happen.  I have to cut back on my 10-12 hour work days, get some exercise (ugh), eat healthy (which I thought I already did), and not get stressed out!!!! (ha).  

Glad to be here!!!! and plan to stick around for sometime to come - can't get rid of me that easy!!!!

parties
Current mood: ditzy

so,like I was told I had to do a blog about our Christmas Party the office had - what a hoot!!!

Now you have to understand, we don't live in the city so the nearest nicest restaurant in Wolfeboro,NH is Micky D's.  hahaha  Seriously, it is 51 Mill Street - pricey but nice.  So, like the boss took us and our significant others out to eat - food was excellent but the drinks were better.  All of us drinkers had our DD's for the night, so we were safe - but even so, we work for the best criminal defense atty in town, who's going to give US a ticket!!!!! 

Not sure but I think after the 4th or 5th long island ice tea, I started to get in the mood.  Jamie was on her 6th or 7th green drink, the boss on his second bottle of wine, the DD's were still babying their one beer and telling us we didn't need another drink!!!  Do they not know there is a difference between needing and WANTING!!!! 

We all survived the night and got to work the next morning BUT some of us had trouble working, Jamie!!!!, hung over!!!!!  oh well, isn't that what partying is all about - the hang over?

merry christmas, happy new year, happy St. Patty's day, etc. etc.

life, as usual

Well, yesterday I did spend some time on my blog - it was quite lengthy, telling all about my mood, how I was feeling about things, how my holidays were, etc.  But, after re-reading it, I figured it was NOT the way to start out a new year - I was depressed, upset, down, bitchy, and any other adjective you can come up with, I was it.  So, I did not post it and decided to let you all know you missed one hell of a blog!!!!!

But, today is brighter - it's NOT snowing, raining, or sunny.  It just IS!  Work is cool, the boss has left for court already - in a good mood - and all is well.  I feel better when I accomplish stuff at work - which I already have surprisingly early - things are good at the homestead - I have plans to go to my girlfriends house over my birthday and partteee on, so the fact that I will be 58 doesn't scare me one bit.

Actually turning a big "0" number, like 30, 40, 50, 60 isn't such a big deal - think of the alternative!!!!!  What choice do we have?  So, all you that are over 30 - think of 80 as 'naturally aged cheddar' or 'fine wine' or even 40 year old distilled scotch - the label may be yellowed and cracked but it's whats inside that counts and that stuff inside is GOOOOOOD.

have a great new year, all.
