I finally got a chance to see my new downstairs neighbors in the flesh.
Let's just say, I'm not impressed.
Picture, if you will, a younger, less sophisticated, non cartoon version of Sideshow Bob from 'The Simpsons'.
That is my new downstairs neighbor.
I happened to catch him arguing with his girlfriend at the door, apparently they've only been together for 6 months and they can't seem to agree on anything other than the fact that they don't know why they're still together.
She was a real piece of work, herself.
Neither of them looked showered, I have no idea what decade their clothes were from, and they both looked as though they just stumbled out of a hipster festival somewhere and landed in my hallway, stocking hats and all. I got quite the stare down as I headed down the stairs and breezed past them out the door.
I'm pretty sure they knew exactly who I was.
I give it 4 months and the apartment will be empty once again.....

Last week I dealt with 2 's birthdays, 1 Thanksgiving, 2 days of Black Friday shoppers, and the loss of my sanity....
What stands out in my mind most?
My downstairs neighbor continually banging on the wall as I tried to have sex.
WTF?!?
The sad part was, we weren't even being loud. No headboard banging on the wall, no moaning or groaning, we had barely gotten started. About the only thing he could have possibly heard was my creaky bed which, I might add, wasn't at all as bad as it normally gets.
I was being stealthy!! My were in the next room!!
The first time he banged on the wall, I thought to myself, was that what I thought it was?
The second time he banged on the wall, I thought, what a fucking asshole. That is what I thought it was.
The third time he banged on the wall I was pissed. I literally said aloud "I don't think so!!" and banged back.
I'm not going to stop living my life simply because some asshole living beneath me can hear my bed creaking while I have sex. I can't wait to see what he does when I don't have my in the next room and my full self comes forward.
I'm not that quiet.
He's just lucky I live alone, he could be subjected to this on a nightly basis.

Thank fucking God....
I have never been so exhausted, so sore, and so fed up with other people in my entire life.
Swear to God!!
The closer it gets to Christmas, the crankier the customers get. People are already bullying us retail workers around, getting bosses involved when they don't get their way and scamming on the newbies who may not necessarily know the in's and out's of coupons to get free product.
Here's the thing folks....
It's the retail workers who pay for the course of your actions.
That newbie you tricked into letting you incorrectly utilize your coupon will hear later from her boss, in a not so nice manner, that she has fucked up. Newbies are already on a 90 day probation.... Do you really feel good about yourself knowing you may have possibly cost a single mom her job because you scammed her into letting you get a free candle?
How about the mom who is struggling to make ends meet and knows the in's and out's of coupons and explained to you in great detail how you could use your coupon? You didn't like the fact that she wouldn't give you your way so you yelled, made a big scene, and got the manager involved so you COULD get your way.... That mom spends the rest of her day feeling like shit so you get get your additional 20% off your purchase even though the coupon had expired a week before. Does it make you feel good at the end of the day knowing you deflated that woman's self image so you could safe an additional $4.30?
Just, be kind, people. We are all out there in this world, doing our best. We make mistakes, it's not done on purpose. We want to be able to make your day, we honestly do. Everyone was a newbie at some point, keep this in mind.
I feel as though people have forgotten The Golden Rule, these days.
Do unto others as you would have done unto you.

5 Things I Learned Today

1. I don't really do it on purpose.... But I'm kind of a bully. A friend of mind told me he fell into a pile of stones today, I still can't stop laughing when I picture it in my minds eye. Who falls INTO a pile of stones?
2. Mustard is not my color, especially when I'm wearing it on the front of my white work shirt.
3. When my feet get cold, my nose gets cold too. This is just plain weird.
4. New neighbors have moved in downstairs. Ugh.... Let the fun begin!
5. There is a movie about vagina teeth. Really?! Who comes up with this shit?
On an unrelated side note: Could be kind of interesting to have a set of vagina teeth....

I had a rough moment earlier today.
I look at myself in the mirror every day. While I LOOK at myself every day, I don't always SEE myself every day.
Today was one of those days that I had the chance to SEE myself.
I had blown my hair dry and was about to smooth out my bangs, like normal, when I noticed a grey hair in my bangs.
Then I noticed two.
Before I knew it, I had tears in my eyes and my heart was about to beat out of my chest.
I know, sounds pretty dramatic, it's not like these are the first gray hairs to grace my head..... They are, however, the first few to sprout where people can actually see them.
I've always been one of those women who planned on growing old gracefully.
Dye my hair?! Pshaw!!
I earned those grays!
It's become completely apparent to me, though, that I don't THINK I can be one of those women. It BOTHERS me to see my beautiful hair color slipping away and I know that it's unique enough that I don't think it can be recreated by a colorist.
For now, I guess I grin and bare it.
At least I still look young. Most people think I'm about 10 years younger than I am.

It's a strange feeling having a in every stage of of life. I didn't really plan it this way, it just kind of.... Happened.
I found myself in a texting triangle this evening with my oldest and my middle . My middle was asking me if I could drop him off at my oldest 's job tomorrow after school and my oldest was asking me if he could take my with him to visit with HIS this weekend.
Yep, that's right, I am a grandma too.
So, there I sat, part of me proud that my 22 year old, my 14 year old, and my 9 year old all manage to be close even with the vast age differences, and part of me felt like, holy shit! I have a 22 year old, a 14 year old, a 9 year old, and a grandchild... When did this happen???
I can't help but think back to the days when it was just the oldest and I, he had been my sidekick from the start. Now he's all grown up and doing his own thing.....

Believe it or not, that's the number of emails I've received on this site just since I made my profile visible again in July.
Mind blowing.....
Granted, some of them are from the site and a few are from old friends I've made over the years but the vast majority are from guys who are desperately trying to hook up with anything containing a pulse.
Here's the problem guys:
If your entire email is a pic of your cock and nothing else, you probably won't hear back from a woman.
If you demand to see naked pics to prove someone is real, you probably won't hear back from a woman.
If you are unable to string 5 words together to make a sentence, you probably won't hear back from a woman.
If you insult a woman's profile pic then proceed to ask for more details about said woman, you probably won't hear back from that woman.
Just a tip!
I can't speak for everyone, but I can speak for myself. I can patiently wait for the right guy to come along, I've done it before. If you want to stand out from the rest, break the ice with an email about yourself and your intentions.
We'll take it from there.

You were sitting at the bar as I enjoyed my beer with my friends, snacking on hors d'oeuvres while we chatted.
Glancing in your direction I notice you, your confident smile, the arrogant way you brushed the hair back from your face with your fingers.
Oooh La La!!
You smiled in my direction and I found myself shyly looking away, drawn back into the conversation of the moment at my table.
Afraid to took back, but drawn to do so....
You are one of the most handsome specimens of the human race.
Perhaps one day our paths shall cross again.

The scariest thing to happen to me today?
Seeing my bathroom, for the first time in months, with decent lighting.
I wanted to die!
Like most people, I've been putting off replacing the burned out light bulbs above my bathroom sink.
When the first one burned out, I was like, eh..... Still have 3 more.
When the second one burned out I was like, eh.... I really should replace those.
When the third one burned out this morning I was like, crap. Now I have to replace those damn things.
Now, replacing the bulbs in my bathroom is a real pain in the ass.
First I have to take down the cover that conceals the naked bulbs from view.
This is a project, in itself.
Have you ever looked at the dust that accumulates behind that shit? I had to pull out the vacuum just to clean up the dust.
Once I have the bulbs replaced, I have to figure out how to get the cover back on without smashing the fucker to bits. It's an intricate process...
The scariest part of my day, however, was to come a few hours later.
Not really turning the light back on after fixing the bulbs, I continued on with my day of getting my ready for school and lazing around on the couch, watching missed episodes of my shows from earlier this week.
Then it happened.
I went into the bathroom to put the hair brush away and flipped on the light.
A beacon of light shown down from the fixture, revealing every disgusting nook and cranny in my bathroom.
Instinctively I shielded my eyes from the horror....
Then I wished for the days when I still had two burned out bulbs and my bathroom still looked clean and inviting.....
Ugh... Now I have to clean my bathroom on my day off...

Is all it took.
All the old feelings....
Love, anger, hurt.
We all find ourselves in situations where we may feel like we're doing the right thing, but we are in fact, making the wrong choice.
After I left my husband in 2010 I found myself in a relationship with a man who I was head over heels in love with. He was kind, and intelligent, and very hard working.
He was also married.
Although he claimed to be unhappy and had assured me many times he was leaving her, that day never came.
Cliche, I know.
Every woman wants to think she is the exception to the rule. The situation had caused me a lot of heartache, and depression, until the day came I couldn't keep my life on hold any longer and decided to make the break.
Those of you who remember my old blog know I blogged frequently about him and my need to let go of all those old feelings.
Days go by, now, without even the slightest thought of him. Most traces of him have long since been removed from my life.....
And then I see him.
I made a quick trip to the gas station to get a fountain pop tonight, and there he was. He had pulled up to a gas pump while I was in the store and had turned to look in the direction of the store as I was walking out with my .
My anxiety got the best of me and I immediately went into a full on panic attack, it felt like my heart was going to beat right out of my chest. Glancing down, I made a comment to my about making sure the lid was on tight to her drink.
It bothers me that I feel those hurt feelings all over again.

Anyone else remember that slogan?
Rock the Vote
Like most of the teenagers of my generation, I was addicted to MTV. The year I turned 18 it also happened to be an election year, I must have heard and seen that slogan on MTV a hundred million times!
I'll tell you what, though, it worked. I was excited to get out there and exercise my voting right!
I was ROCKING it!
I'm proud to say, I did get out there and rocked my vote today.
Speaking of the vote...
Anyone else out there watching the ABC news coverage of this? What's up with all the commercials?! Holy crap... It's like cycles of 30 seconds speculation, 6 commercials. And, where did they come up with some of these people?

One of my closers didn't show up for work today, which meant the rest of us had twice as much shit to do to close tonight.
A small part of me would like to drive bamboo shoots under her fingernails.
After the 4 mile hike to the bottom of Deadmans Hill and back to the top yesterday, the last thing I wanted to do was rush around hoisting cases of product around the sales floor tonight.
My body is screaming at me.
If I wasn't so lazy and tired, I'd probably run a hot bath and sit in it for the next hour...
I'll have to settle for collapsed on the couch with mismatched pajamas on.
I'm sure I'm looking all kinds of sexy....
