My friends First Date...

My friend has been with the same man for the past 11 years. The same man who may I say did not deserve my wonderful friend. She truly is an amazing woman. Tonight she is going out on her first date in 11 years. 11 YEARS. Ack, scary stuff right there. I get nervous just thinking about it. I won’t tell you how she felt about it. Nervous would be one description, course it would be like calling a hurricane a bit of wind. Course I can tease all I want, Im nervous for her. This is a big step in the right direction.

I said, my friend if he can’t see what I see, then he doesn’t deserve someone as wonderful as you. I mean it too. She is intelligent, neurotic, beautiful, nuturing, amazing, inventive, creative and my friend. If he doesn’t see her for the amazing person she is, it’s so his loss. So now I sit by the phone and await news on how it’s going.

I said to R, could you imagine starting over again? Dating again?He said no.I said seriously though, it would mean we were split up, God Forbid, or whatever and having to enter the dating world. I said we have love but we also have a level of comfort after all these years.He said yeah. Then he farted.I said did you just fart?He said yeah but just a little bit.I said see, that’s what we have, comfort.He said yeah, we can fart.I said that’s an example, but we have that comfort level. He said yeah, cause I don’t want to give up farting.

Yes ladies and gentlemen that is my husband and I so wouldn’t change a thing!

Get out of your own head.....

I had all kinds of thoughts and plans for my future. Dreams of the life I'd lead and the places I'd travel. But dreams are simply mist, blown away by the winds of reality, and as a well-known movie of our  younger years taught us, 'Reality Bites'. Reality is a bitter bitch.

Monster Juice Spray pussifying our children?

Today someone posted a cute little story about a pharmacy that prescribes a Monster Spray to children that have monsters under their bed. They spray the spray before bedtime, under their bed and it makes all the monsters go away. A little six year old girl used it three times before she was sure all the monsters were gone. I find this story absolutely adorable. I think it's wonderful that this pharmacists does something so kind for small children with big imaginations. I think a little magic in this world is just what a lot of child need. The response from one woman totally had me stunned. She said it's crap like this that is pussifying our children. Really? Then she went on in another reply when asked what one has to do with the other to say her daughter was bullied and what are they going to make next, bully spray? (They do make a bully spray, it's called mace!)  Her daughter had to graduate early because of bullies. Okay, what does her daughter being bullied have to do...

Sometimes..

Sometimes the emotional pain becomes too much to bear. Sometimes the emotional pain feels like it's going to consume us. Sometimes the emotional pain is so overwhelming that we need a physical pain to release it before we lose ourselves and who we are in it. Not everyone can understand this, I get that. Not everyone can look at someone with scars that were self inflicted and say, I see your pain. Sometimes, we hide those scars under our jeans so no one will notice. It's not for attention, it's for release. Sometimes we dull the pain with alcohol, sometimes we dull the pain with drugs either prescription or illegal. Sometimes we smoke too much and talk to loud. But we find our release to keep us alive. We are survivors with our scars to prove it.
