Smart(butt) Baby!!

Mia and I stopped over at a friend's house last night. I was bummin in a pair of jeans and my Superfan shirt. (All Bay High graduates will know that the Superfan shirt is a school spirit thing).

Rus' friend Steve commented on my shirt, and I said something like, "Yeah...it's super comfortable, I've had it since, like, 10th grade or something."

Amber's boyfriend Jason chimed in with, "Oh...since last year then?"

Before I had a chance to say anything bitchy back, Mia threw her head back and fake laughed at him.

Atta girl.

Thank you, Meghan.

Since your post started this "family holidays debate" my site has received an unprecedented number of hits from Ohio. My counter actually jumped from the normal 50-60 hits a day to 111 hits yesterday. I noticed some first time visitors, too. Funny how debates and things like this bring people out of the woodwork.

Anywho, WELCOME new people. Feel free to sign my guestbook :)

    Isn't that the way it always goes??

    Just yesterday I was thinking to myself, 'Wow...the commenting system hasn't gone down in awhile. I'm impressed.'

    And now they're gone. Hott.

    22.5. Wow. That looks old in print.

    As the new year approaches...

    I find myself

  • starting to look for a new template.
  • planning a New Year's Resolutions post.
  • mentally preparing to date things with an /04 instead of an /03.

    This post is pretty disappointing, actually. I'll be adding to it, maybe. Feel free to add your own thoughts.

    There comes a time in every young woman's life...

    Yeah. Not that serious. But I'm not going that in depth.

    What I've learned is this: If you want to make something work, the best thing to do is to keep pretty much everything to yourself.

    Miss Right...Later.

    Three years ago, Mia's dad told me, "You're the ideal girlfriend. And you would be the ideal wife. You're smart, you're hot, you're funny, my friends love you, my family loves you."

    Two years ago he said, "I wish I could just put you in some kind of freezer or something and keep you just the way you are. I wish there was some way to have you when I'm really ready for you."

    Two weeks ago, my first boyfriend SINCE Shawn told me, "You are the best girlfriend any guy could ever ask for."

    Six days ago he told me, "You're the coolest chick I've ever hung out with, but I have a lot of stuff going on right now and I need some space...blah, blah blah."

    Three days ago he told a friend, "She's a girl I could get into a long-term relationship with and I'm just not sure if I'm ready for that yet."

    So that's that.

    Good stuff.

    [Manager and I standing center stage, enter Hooters Girl stage left]

    Manager: Are you still back there?

    Hooters Girl: Yeah, I'm going back there to finish eating...but I'm checking on my tables because I'm a good waitress!

    [Exit Hooters Girl stage right]

    Manager: Good Hooters Girl.

    Me: Good Hootress?

    Manager: [rolls eyes] No.

    Me [as an aside to the audience]: What an a**hole!!

    What a miserable failure!!

    Home for the Holidays...my home.

    As much as I miss the snow (yeah, right)...I won't be coming to Cleveland for Christmas this year. My next scheduled visit to Ohio is July 30th - August 1st or 2nd. And when I say Ohio, I don't mean Cleveland. I will be in Columbus for the wedding of a friend from high school and to visit with Meghan and Brian.

    My school schedule doesn't really have many breaks in it...there certainly isn't one over the summer, d'oh. It sucks for traveling, but it will allow me to finish school in a little less than a year.

    We haven't been too healthy lately. Mia just got over two ear infections and is dealing with ALL-OVER eczema from her antibiotics right now. I had acute sinusitis...and now I have pleurisy (inflammation of my right lung)...not exactly optimum health for traveling...especially to Cleveland with its lake effect snow.

    On top of the health...there's the fundage issue. There's definitely a reason I was soliciting funds for car repairs and there's an even bigger reason I mentioned attorney's fees in Christmas list post...

    I'm sure everyone will understand and have a happy holiday anyway. I'll be looking forward to Christmas pic posts from everyone else.

    Grrr.

    It's really annoying how some people just can't bite their tongues and not say what they mean once in awhile...

    20 minutes of good, clean fun:

    Put mittens on a 15 month old baby. :) She thinks they're "OSS" (socks) for her hands and she thinks they're just the coolest things ever.

    Baggage...

    and I'm not talking about Louis Vuitton.

    I always thought I lived by the "Dance like no one's watching, laugh like no one can hear you and love like you've never been hurt..." rules for happiness.

    I'm starting to second guess myself.

    12.01.2003

    Bitterness abounds.

    Uh. Why all the hurt feelings? I had the (dis)pleasure of running into the 2.5th date guy at the Hooters Christmas (Thanksgiving) Party. I was with Rus, but there was more than one occasion where "2.5th" and I were in close proximity and neither one of us said hi. We made eye contact at one point and he quickly looked away. I shrugged my shoulders and enjoyed the rest of the evening with my honey.

    Then last night at work, "two dates is a relationship" came in with some of his friends. I smiled and said "hi" when they came in and he looked right at me and blatantly ignored my salutation. Whatever's clever!!

    I should note that BOTH of these "dating" scenarios were ended by me on what I THOUGHT was a positive note. Well not positive really, but not negative. I didn't avoid them. I gave them the courtesy of telling them that things weren't going to work blah blah blah. I was up front AND nice.

    Whatever. "2.5th" doesn't work at Hooters anymore...and "two dates is a relationship" is moving out of the area permanently on Friday. So. That will save them from future awkward moments.
