Halloween Crazy

One word: crazy OK, two words: and drunk. If one ends up walking around in their underwear on Halloween (and not in a room with a bed in it) does that mean they’re having fun? Yeah, you might’ve seen me running around with flames on my butt. Oh, and apparantly I found it necessary to let everyone KNOW I was in my underwear (just in case they couldn’t tell…). Ah, another crazy-ass...

Non-Negotiables

There are particulars that a person has when they’re dating: I won’t date someone who does this, looks like that, wears THAT… but rules are consistently broken, or what most consider to be “compromise.” You meet someone, start to have feelings and learn to accept those little differences and begin to coo over each other’s bad habits. And then there the non-negotiables....

Go together like a… wha?

I woke up and thought it was Monday morning after a long and drunken weekend. Then I realized that it’s only been Tuesday and Wednesday. My fake-out-of-town husband leaves on Monday. He’s a little nervous on whether or not he’ll see me again for the holidays. Last night we spent an early Halloween at Blind Pig to watch THE game and pretend we were Pig employees for the evening. I’m...

Sleepless Night

I still cannot believe last night happened. Ever have one of those mornings where you try your best to separate what is fact and what is dream? I never expected my night to begin as it did. (Most would refer to how the night ended…) This is only the beginning… I think I’m still shaking this morning. There are so many more things I wanted to say to you… and yet, even for how hurt I’ve felt...

“Hey, You’re that girl from the blog!”

Hi, Lakewood chick! It was awesome meeting you. I’m sorry I didn’t get your name. I hope you find your phone! Thanks for checking out the site. Meanwhile (back at the ranch we call home), what do you get when you have 4 drunken chicks and 80′s music blaring and the need to dance like idiots at 4am when the bars close? Yes, you get the Lakewood Police Department in pursuit of a noise...

A night in Roma

Never…again…going…out…until…4am…on…a…school…night… again. Ice Cream Sandwich flavored ice cream at Rosati’s today. I must be getting lonely or incredibly deprived because every man on the TV, at the bar, in the ice cream store is hot. Perhaps I’m overloading my senses with male-dominated sports (Baseball, Football, Nascar AND Professional Bull Riding in one day—the WORK!)...

On a Need-2-Know Basis

Pamphlet picked up at doc’s office, titled 10 Things You Need to Know Before You Date an Older Guy (No, really. This is seriously printed in paper in my hand. No doubt, geared towards younger adolescents.) Subtitled: Consider the Risks 1. It’s normal to admire older guys Guys your own age may seem immature. And an older guy has car, money, his own place—it all sounds good. But dating an older...
