Just Remember....

Just when you think everything is going down the drain, when you think all hope is lost, when you're at ground zero and picking yourself up seems impossible, the weight on your shoulders seems unbearable to lift, remember there is someone out there who cares.  Someone who loves you. Someone who truly has it worse off than you. The "guests" on Jerry Springer are living proof. Call me when you don't think anyone will answer on the other end.  I will.

Go It Alone

I had such a hard time when I turned 30. There was something about leaving the comfort of my free-loving 20’s that scared the hell out of me. I am so thankful I am not in my 20’s any longer! What is it about those girls that still act like they are reliving their high school days???

I was at an event tonight where there were about 50 beautiful women, most of them in their 20’s. There were just a handful of us that were in our 30’s and you could pretty much pick us out.

I have to go on record and say that Texas has to have some of the most beautiful women out there. On occasion I have had men tell me this very statement as I have traveled the US. I have no idea what the Beach Boys, and later by David Lee Roth, was talking about! I digress.

So I’m at this event…..and a few “recently made popular” boys walk into the room and you would have thought that they were the Jonas Brothers. OK, so maybe not that young, but most of the girls started getting giddy and lost their sense of mind! WTH is wrong with you? That stupid, naive, blonde act will only get you so far. I am hoping the guys were not impressed by all of the stupid behavior, but were probably eating up the attention nonetheless. Who wouldn’t?

So I sit back with a couple of cute girls I had just met. We clicked right away because they were just like me; brass, independent, and confident as hell. It also helps that they live right by me in Grapevine! Yeah Baby!!! We were discussing that had we been in an appropriate setting, we would have had to let some of the girls know that their “styles” needed some help. I’m way off track.

I’m standing there and ask one of my new girls where the restroom was. Out of nowhere this high pitch resonating noise piped up, “I’ll go with you!!!!” “Um, no you don’t have to, I can do it alone.” I think I said this with a pretty disgusted look on my face. “OMG I have to go too, let’s go together!” Someone please shoot me in the head is all I could think of as she grabbed my arm. When is the appropriate time in your life when women do not have to go to the bathroom together? Seriously? I can understand meeting a girl in the bathroom to give her some desperate piece of information before continuing on with her evening, but other than that, lock it up.
Here’s my advice to you, ladies:

• Don’t act like idiots when a boy walks into the room.
• Don’t draw unnecessary attention to yourself.
• Learn to go to the bathroom without your entourage.
• Be confident.

Otherwise someone is going to have to take away my gun. And, of course, I mean this in the most loving manner.

Good night, my pretties.

Coincidence?

My car finally arrived yesterday!!! I've been using my dad's truck which I have decided that I think I want something big for my next car purchase coming up in February...anyway, I left Brandon yesterday around 11 or so so that way he could accomplish some work. He headed off to Denton and I headed off to meet my driver. I waited and waited and....I get a call from Brandon,

"Hey you still drive that Nissan right?"

"Yessssss."

"Charcoal grey?"

"Yessssss."

"License plate such and such?"

"OMG Brandon, WTF? YES!"

"Yeah your driver is going through your stuff right now, I'm watching him."

"HOLY $#&^%$*&I%! ARE YOU F-ing KIDDING ME?!?!?"

"Darlin' you need to be making a few phone calls to find out what the hell is going on. I'll stand here and see if he takes anything."

WOW! Immediately I was on the phone with the owner of the company based in Chicago. CHICAGO? How are you helping me HERE????? He immediately picked up the phone with the driver while I heard the whole conversation. He was screaming at this guy trying to find out what the #*&^$^%@ was going on. I loved it. The owner was mortified that it was happening and knowing I had someone watching the whole thing made it all the better! No one in their right mind is going to take advantage of me or peruse through my things! JERK!

Coincidence that Brandon just so happened to be the one to call an hour after I left him? Umm, not sure, I think it's a sign. I'm glad I could make him late for a reason other than sheer delight.

Everything happens for a reason.

The Over/Under Rule...

So I'm having lunch on the patio of a local restaurant with a few of my single girlfriends today discussing the big events leading me back to Texas when one of them pipes up with the "over/under" rule. In all of my innocence I was confused at what she was talking about since we weren't playing blackjack....Then it quickly hit me as the words were spilling out of her mouth, "To get over one guy you have to get under another one." Holy Whore, Batman! This is exactly what a certain ex-boyfriends best friend told me!!!! What is it with this advice? This is perhaps the 3rd time in so many days that someone has told me this. Is this what people actually do? Here is the innocent part in me...Sex is an emotional connection for me, not a physical fulfillment. Can someone tell me if I'm alone on this one? Apparently so because all of the girls agreed. Ladies...seriously, put down the margaritas!!!! Perhaps soon, I can take this advice, for now my stomach turns....BUT with staying with the bad girl guide, apparently this IS the way to get over an ex...after all, it is the way he got over me. Happy hunting ladies, play it safe.
