I love Betrayal

A soldier is fighting in the front. He receives a letter from his girlfriend telling him that she will marry a wealthy businessman, and that the soldier has to send her all her pictures. The soldier borrows about 20 pictures of girls from his fellow soldiers and sends them to his "faithful" girlfriend. When she opens the envelope, she finds a pile of pictures and a small note that says: "Please pick out your pictures because I cannot remember which is yours. Please be sure to send all other pictures!".


This was just too priceless not to share!

funny story

It's only funny now.
It was NOT funny yesterday when it happened.

Some of you may know from my other blog that I gave up Cokes.
All dark sodas to be more specific.

It has been over a year since I've had any.
It was a horrible process.
Caffeine is a serious drug.
(yes, I gave back in to that. just not Cokes.)
Headache for about 4 days straight.

I know Cokes were a serious issue for me.
About 5 a day to none, cold turkey.
I have avoided them like the plague.
I even almost choked to death one time because all that was in my reach was a Coke and I positively refused to put it in my mouth.

Well, I ordered a sweet tea from McDonalds last night.
The dumb bitches gave me Coke.
I didn't know until I took a sip. obvi.
I was driving. Almost wrecked.
Seriously had a mental breakdown.
It was like cocaine. In my mouth.

I was so upset and disappointed.
I had worked sooo hard. And it had been destroyed.
I know it wasn't my fault but it still stung. Bad.
I teared up and wanted to bawl my eyes out.

& OMG did I want to drink the rest of that Coke.
Marianne had to dump it down the sink when we got to her house.

My skin was crawling.
I was shaking.
I wanted to throw up and get it out of my stomach.

I am positively astounded at how I reacted.
It's actually quite scary to me.
I was not prepared for it to affect me that bad.

You may think I'm crazy, but addictions are serious.
Think of something you're addicted to.
Think about giving it up.
Think about being forced to take it back unprepared.

But I will not cave. I'm not giving in because that happened.
No matter how bad I want to...

Weakness Wednesday

Right now my weakness is Green River Ordinance.
Just watch/listen.
They are amazing!

Words of the Day

overload

It's been an overloaded day.
I've been pushed to my limits.
Too much to handle in one day.

First, I slept late.

Second, I went to get tags for my new car and the paperwork was wrong.

Third, I had to pay $23.50 to renew my license and they wouldn't replace my middle name with my maiden to make life a little easier.

Fourth, I freaked out on the way to work about having lunch with my spermdonor. Luckily, I had an old friend to talk me down from my hysterics.

Fifth, my best friend's husband got his orders and it's far away and I'm not happy for them because they aren't happy and it's just sad.

Sixth, lunch with spermdonor was heartbreaking. All he talks about is his son.

I want to go home and go to bed and start fresh tomorrow.

Weekend ReCap

Had a wonderful 3 day weekend.

Started off Thursday night at the Woppman's for Jersey Shore.

That's my spot on their floor. Mine.

Yes, I realize my tan is fading. oopsie

Friday was the Bon Jovi concert.

I suggest women buy their bras from Aerie. just sayin.

Green River Ordinance was amazing.

I suggest you listen to their muisc ASAP!

Of course Bon Jovi rocked the 35,000 people that showed up.

We had amazing seats. I literally teared up when they came on.

Jon was as energetic as always.

And Richie even had an Alabama shaped guitar!

Saturday I went to Aplin Farms w/the parents.

Are these piggies not the cutest hay critters ever?!

Yesterday the bestie and I went shopping.

Had dinner at Cracker Barrel.

And attempted to get the window chalk off my car. It didn't work...

Itty Bitty Edward

Jenny and I have made a new blog.

You must check it out!

Word of the Day

Well, I tried...

My washer decided to quit spinning/draining.

My landlord won't fix it.

I'm a single woman. No man in the house.

I have no truck to even take it anywhere.
As if I could load it anyway.

So, before dishing out money for someone to look at it and then fix it I decided to take matters into my own hands.

I found some instructions on the internet and went for it.
I ended up flooding my laundry room.
And couldn't even get the back off because the screws were rusted.
Between Marianne and myself we tried everything possible before giving up. And to be a fly on the wall during the whole situation would have made for good reality tv.

But, of course, we aren't washer pros and were not successful.

All I can say is I tried, and it feels good to not just have wasted money.

I'm already dreading the phone calls to repairmen. ugh

Dating Sucks

I've never really dated per say.

I've always jumped from relationship to relationship.

I am trying to do things differently this time.

But dating seems to be one viscous circle.

Guys dating the same girls their circle of friends date
becomes a little uncomfortable for me.

& ex girlfriends are just never fun to deal with.

With that being said I'm gonna try a new approach.

No more chasing and going after what I think I want.

No more going on Man Hunting Missions.

I want to be chased. Pursued.

Basically, I want a guy with balls.

Preferably a Gentleman.

Wish me luck!

Negativity

Everyone has their bad moments.

Myself included.

& I like to think I've been getting better at having a more positive outlook on life.

BUT so many people are negative, it's hard to do.

I had an amazing day yesterday.

An email from a negative person squashed that this morning.

No matter what I do or say, it's never good enough.

I only receive critisism, never praise.

I'd be happy with a "Good Luck!" Period.

I realize I'm complaining. But it hurts. stings. burns.

This person is supposed to be part of my support.

1. Growing up, what was one favorite item that you had to have with you at all times?

I have a bad memory. So this is kinda hard for me. But I'm pretty sure it was some kinda baby doll and my Nanny likes to remind me about a Glow Worm Doll from time to time

2. Being an adult, what is one favorite item that you have to have with you at all times, and what happens if you do not have it with you? Do you lose your sanity or just go back home to get it?

I hate having to say this but my cell phone. I'd be lost without it.

3. Where is your favorite place to be to just hide away from everything and breathe for a moment?

If I'm at home, a hot bubble bath. Otherwise the beach.

4. What is your favorite thing about your partner? (If you don’t have a partner, then someone who is very close and will always be in your life)

Eff this questions. just sayin. I think I'm officially sick of being single. blah 

5. What is your favorite thing about your job? (If you don’t have a job, then what is your favorite thing that you do during your day?)

The ladies I work with. They are like my family.

6. What is your favorite lesson that your parents taught you growing up? Looking back, is it something that you want to use to teach your children when they reach that age?

My mom didn't purposely teach me this lesson but by being on stepdad #3 says a lot. I learned men come and go. I don't want to have children, and this is probably a big factor as to why.

7. What is your favorite song, that will always bring a smile to your face and make you think of something happy?

Runaway, Bon Jovi

8. What is your favorite things about being an American? (If you not American, what are you proud of in regards to your country)

Fish sticks and mac and cheese. yumo

10. Name 3 things that other people would say are their favorite thing about you.

I hate these type of things. People don't really go around listing my qualities...

I would think they'd say I'm a good friend, funny and helpful.
