Thoughts of the Day

| 1 Comment

One of my biggest fears in life is “we”. I like being “I”. Simplistic, salubrious, untainted, fresh, clear “I”. No mess, no fuss, no drama, no we need to talk or ‘me-me-me’ – just “I”.

“We” is too messy…. And yet “I” have such a dirty mind…

I want a tee-shirt that reads, “Please remove your label from my relationship.”

“So THAT’S your ex-boyfriend?”
“No”
“Then which one is he?”
“The one standing over there talking with his hands and looking important.”
“Yeah, that’s who I was talking about.”
“But he’s not my ex-boyfriend…”
“Huh!?!”
“I don’t do ‘boyfriend’ or ‘dating’ or any of that social b.s. that people use to squeeze relationships into a box that ends up getting tossed down the stairs and kicked a couple of times anyways.”
“You’d rather be tossed down the stairs and kicked without the box?”
“Hell yeah! It gives me the chance to fight back.”
“So how would you describe him?”
“That’s the guy I was sleeping with until I stopped.”
“That’s romantic.”
“Yeah, I know.”

Sabbatical... but I'm back

| 2 Comments

I have taken a bit of a sabbatical from the blogging world. I needed to take a break, get caught up on life, date a couple of boys to give me something more to write about, and gain some perspective. Now that I have accomplished those goals, I am ready to share with you my unique perspective on the dating world again.

Thanks to all who have kept in contact via e-mail, pushing me to keep on keeping on, it was nice to know I was missed. I am also looking for someone to write He Said, She Said with me again – so if you know anyone who is interested please let me know.

So, without further excuse, I will post something brilliant (or at least entertaining) in the next day or two, and I will be around two or three times a week to add some humor to your life.

Luv y’all!

Broken Record

| No Comments


Life is like a broken record at times. We listen to the same notes play over and over and over, and no matter how annoying the song can be, or how badly we want to change the tune, we never get up and switch the record.
Is it laziness, or is it that sometimes listening to the familiar old scratch is more comforting than the idea of learning new notes? Can I brave a new melody and take the chance of being happy, or am I happy being miserable?

Quotable Thoughts: a look at the words of wisdom from other’s, with a twist of personal commentary, appears right here at

We were here; we are human beings; this is how we lived. Let it be known, the earth passed before us. Our details are important. Otherwise, if they are not, we can drop a bomb and it doesn’t matter.

My Life Story in 15 Words or Less

| 2 Comments

A couple of years ago I was at a writing conference, and they were going over the importance of not rambling on when telling a story (kind of like I'm doing now). Anywho, their challenge to us was to write our life stories in 15 words or less.

Yes you read me right, 15 words or less. But don't worry, I have a large vocabulary, and am able to find concise words that describe my life perfectly - I even did it in a mere eleven words. That's right eleven.

So without further ado...

ICE - In Case of Emergency

| No Comments

This was forwarded to me, and I think it's a wonderful idea!!! Please feel free to pass this along to all your friends and family!

Most of us carry our mobile phones with names & numbers stored in its memory but nobody, other than ourselves, knows which of these numbers belong to our closest family or friends.

If we were to be involved in an accident or were taken ill, the people attending us would have our mobile phone but wouldn't know who to call. Yes, there are hundreds of numbers stored but which one is the contact person in case of an emergency? Hence this "ICE" (In Case of Emergency) Campaign

The concept of "ICE" is catching on quickly. It is a method of contact during emergency situations. As cell phones are carried by the majority of the population, all you need to do is store the number of a contact person or persons who should be contacted during emergency under the name "ICE" ( In Case Of Emergency).

The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that when he went to the scenes of accidents, there were always mobile phones with patients, but they didn't know which number to call. He therefore thought that it would be a good idea if there was a nationally recognized name for this purpose. In an emergency situation, Emergency Service personnel and hospital Staff would be able to quickly contact the right person by simply dialing the number you have stored as "ICE."

For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3 etc. A great idea that will make a difference!

Let's spread the concept of ICE by storing an ICE number in our Mobile phones today!

Please forward this. It won't take too many "forwards" before everybody will know about this. It really could save your life, or put a loved one's mind at rest.

ICE will speak for you, if you're not able to.

The Singing Revolution

| No Comments

I received an e-mail this morning, and thought it was worth sharing:

I just heard about this amazing new film titled "The Singing Revolution." This documentary tells the extraordinary story of the non-violent path Estonia took to free itself from Soviet occupation. The movie will soon be playing in select theaters.

The producers have a special opportunity: If there is enough demand, they will screen the movie in our area. Let's bring "The Singing Revolution" to a theater in Chico , simply sign up on their website: http://www.singingrevolution.com. Those areas that have at least 1500 requests will get a screening.

Most people don't think about singing when they think of revolutions. However, in Estonia , song was the weapon of choice. Between 1986 and 1991, hundreds of thousands of Estonian people gathered to sing forbidden patriotic songs and rally for independence, risking their lives to proclaim their desire for a free Estonia .

"The young people, without any political party, and without any politicians, just came together - not only tens of thousands but hundreds of thousands - to gather and to sing and to give this nation a new spirit. This was the idea of the Singing Revolution." - Mart Laar, Singing Revolution leader and first post-Soviet Estonian prime minister.

All you need to do is click the link www.singingrevolution.com . At the top of the page on the website you will see a statement that says "sign up to have a showing near you". Put in 95926 and your email address. You will receive an instant email to confirm your sign up. In order to complete your signup, you must reply to the email confirmaton.

Please forward this to everyone you know and have them put in 95926 so we can bring it to Chico .

I am a complete dork! I set up my blogs to manually publish this week, becuase I knew I was going to be super busy at work. Silly thing is, I thought it was still March... ay ay ay! So I am fixing them all, to post today, and for the rest of the week. I am a natural blonde, just in case anyone was wondering!
