rather piss you the f' off (not always but lots of the time)...
day 12...
do you like that there is no rhyme or reason to this blog...that i write whatever the hell fills the space between my ears...kind of like me, it is what it is!
so today boys & girls, kids of all ages let us began by talking about parts of my almost 30 years on life that i would leave behind...ready, set, here we go...
*disclosure -- this is one if not for the kiddos, it could get ugly, only kidding now read on, dammit! (please :)
--people that creep on you while standing in line (either at self check out or just in general) --> like really i haven't even packed my bags & you are literally all up in my shiznazzle! why? why? you are not going to get done any faster if you crawl up my a**
(wow actually had a moment where that was it, & i was like geez you are turning into a softie, or so i thought)
--those that cannot laugh at themselves...by nature i am irish, italian & lebanese as well as being a female...let the jokes fly & i will laugh...if one is not doing it out of hate but fun why not laugh, you know you want to, why might i ask b/c the S&^% is actually funny so laugh it up...
--people who ride in the left lane no matter there speed (ehmmm the entire state of michigan) or can't drive at any sign of precipitation (ehmmmm city of columbus)
--stupid, mean people b/c they are stupid (we all know who they are, they are just stupid) this also includes people who think that they are either above you or above doing some sort of task (cleaning, picking up, etc.)..last time i checked you were not God, so it does not exclude you...PS, if you fall in these categories you should not come out in public EVER!
(wow everything is revolving around people, maybe i shall become a hermit or become less social)
--the rules of boys vs girls (this is a huge can of worms i just opened & we shall revisit) for sake of this post...HATE the double standard (ladies its out there, we all know it is but it still kills me)...i also HATE the stupid dating rules or shall i say games...they are so dumb & pointless, you like her, she likes you, date already...if you don't like her/him tell her so we can all move on...& BOYS listen (read) very carefully, TELL the TRUTH always, please do not say "ohh i don't want to hurt her," guess what LIES HURT 10 million times more than the TRUTH (trust)...enough of that; we shall return to this topic, i have theories upon theories about this topic :) (get excited)
--people who do not say please, thank you & excuse me...what is wrong with those words they did nothing to you...& if you need a recap maybe you should revisit PBS, Sesame Street, or Kindergarten!
--coming from a former waitress background (professional server, yes that just happened)...people who cannot act appropriately in a restaurant, that comes from the moment they walk in the door until they leave...i know there are people who should not work in the industry BUT there are even more people who should never even be able to step foot in a restaurant (this goes along with the point above, please stay home, cook for yourself, & don't subject other people to you)
--those who b*&^#@ about life --- ohh wait that is what is happening here...my advice to them = SHUT UP!
& I'm DONE!

i have been thinking...scary thought huh?
day 11...
it has occurred to me over the past 11 days, many thoughts (yes i have a brain, do you think i just copy this s%$# from a text book)...do to recent events & the passing of a very cool man who was only 48 & realizing that life is precious (i know i said it before, don't worry this a different topic, i most likely will not repeat myself until day 102, if you are lucky)
...WHAT WOULD I DO if i knew this was it, that i had only a few hours, days or weeks before i said my good-bye...no, i am not trying to be all emotional & blah, blah, blah...& so many people ask that question but do you ever really think about what would you really do...i would not spend all my money (S&%$ i have none anyways:) & i would not go to some country or exotic place to bask in the sun...what i would do is...
...spend a moment (a moment is not defined by the actual time that goes by but rather what happens during that time) with some of the people who define my heart...my family -- i have 4 brothers & a sister, 3 sister in laws, 4 nieces, & 3 nephews, and my parents...that is a lot of moments & i would know that we got to spend them together...whether it be to play a game, watch a movie, talk, or just be with each other we would have those moments...
...i would also spend moments with those that have touched my life, my family may have defined my heart but i have many who have left their footprints on it...so many thank you's i would want to say, sorry's, & so many moments of emotion...
...food & eat = enough said...my fat a&% will enjoy every meal & then some probably to the point of fat breathing...
...Carey, OH -- sit one last time, & pray that someone discovers the peace, joy, faith & so many other feelings it has left me...
...dance, to dance as if it is my last moment (well it is:)...
...pick up a pen & grab my book & finish my story...write the letters that needed to be written, the cards that needed to signed, write so when i am no longer there, my voice remains...write my heart <3...
...look up & thank God, b/c the time i spent was wonderful, the people i was blessed with are/were AHH-MAZING....& for all the experiences that made me; ME...
...love -- tell that one person that they touched my heart in a way that i didn't think was possible...that they may have not known it but they allowed me to believe that hope in love was possible & that being a part of my life i could know what is to like & love a person...& most importantly thank them...
...say Good-Bye, rather i will see ya around & then throw the BEST damn going way party with all my family, friends, & quite possibly some randoms...(WHY NOT)...
if you knew that this was it, what would you do?

& the a*# shrinking continues...
day 10...
you know when you decide that it would be a grand idea to get in shape & lose weight...& then you get so far in to it (like 20 minutes) & want to call it a day...& think wtf is this all for..so i can look great in a pair of pants, so i can walk up a flight of stairs & not lose a lung...but really what is it for & why the hell & i am doing it...we do it b/c food is so freakin good & that s%$# don't come in diet & if it does you know it taste like a*#...so in order to partake in those said meals or to look good for a friday night, we call on our friend (rather enemy), the diet...& so it begins...
...well today is weigh day & i am proud of myself however not to sure how much was actual weight & how much was water weight, either way a loss is a loss, & i am totally taking it...so i am now 26 lbs. closer to 30 before 30...now i must say the highlight of my week was not the raw veggies i was eating but rather those around me sayin, "30 lbs, you will be way too skinny..." bless their hearts that they think that this body can't stand to lose that & probably a few more....
...i also went on a walk it is my third in 10 days, pretty good (your thought -- fat a$#)...i need to build up to it & i have to stay strong b/c the winter is the hardest...it gets dark so early & its mother f'n cold...side note, it has been beautiful which only means we are in for a s*#$ storm soon...so yippee for that & for me who will choose to go lay in my bed & snuggle b/c its will be too damn cold & then i will curse myself for not taking more advantage of these beautiful days...
...see the funniness came back as well as some anger...the dieting version of me is a smidgen angry, i stared at doughnut today & said no, you know what that does to a true fat kid (have you not been reading), let's just say it is like denying a crack addict, crack..not pretty :)...
i shall survive & hopefully survive a little skinnier (i have been on this damn diet like a bajillion times) maybe it will work, if not i am stickin' with what i know & that is being a true fat kid...
Cheers to being skinny, to being fat, to whatever strikes your fancy:)!

simplest of lessons to the greatest...
day 9...(yep 2 in one day, aren't you lucky!)
this could get way out of hand...so i am only going to touch on a few & maybe if you are still reading say day 56 or day 342, then we will revisit this...here we go & p.s. just bc i am turning 3 x 10, does not mean the lessons are over from a retired (ha retired) teacher's perspective, you should NEVER stop learning, it is one of life's greatest pleasures!
**side note, i know you are thinking what happened she was so damn funny now all this stuff about time, & learning lessons, & blah, blah, blah...don't worry the funny will return, some times i can be serious or deeply thought provoking, it has been 30 years, i had to have those moments (every once in awhile, just sayin')...**
1. -->one of my dear friends has been sick much of her adult life & she actually by medical terms should not be alive, but she is & is married & thank God doing well...she also has ONE of thee best outlooks on life....so after meeting her, getting to know her & eventually becoming friends i would often visit in her when she would make a frequent hospital visit...one time in particular, i remember looking at her & saying, how do you do this & still smile and be positive at the end of the day...she looked at me & said "there are so many people on my floor who no one ever visits, there are so many people who have no one, & are way more sicker than me...how can i not be positive & think how lucky & blessed i am..." & from that day on, no matter what (& there are days where staying in bed & pulling the covers over my head sounds way more fun) i always think about her & think, look at what i have and how much i am loved, how can i have for one second not be happy & positive (now if you know my family they will vouch i am not always the happiest clam); however if the majority of my days i am than it is an absolute tribute to her...
2. -->this story leads into my second one which was taught by mother (actually she has taught me some of my greatest lessons, i do not think she even realizes how vital she is on my outlook on life)...my brother decided to play with fire & accidentally cause a fire in our house, thankfully by the grace of God we were all fine, the little pyro went to fire prevention class, & we had to move out & get new s*%$, we were the fortunate ones...well i did not think so, when i stood in my grandmother's basement & i was b&%$ about something i did not have (no, this was not yesterday, i was in 4th grade; yes i was just as feisty back then)...my mom looked me straight in the face with a "did that just come out of your mouth", & said, "there are people in this world who have nothing & way worse off than you, so SUCK it up..." & i looked at her & said nothing (hell, i knew not to talk back)...but it was actually something that stuck with me & was reinforced by a friend so many years later...my mom thinks she was way harsh, HOWEVER i do not, it is something i have never forgotten, her words, her look, her passion that at that moment we were lucky we still had each other, we had a place to live & food to eat, we would be ok...so no matter what, life could be that much worse...thank you mom...
3. --> (put your hands together for the last lesson, well for now:)...life is way too short, each moment is so important, cherish it & use it...cause that maybe all you have...in my short little lifetime thus far, i have been blessed with many people who have touched my life, left their footprints on my heart & i am eternally grateful for them...in saying that some of these people have lost people in their lives who are their world, they have lost sisters, brothers, mothers, friends, and so many more...& i know each one of them would give anything to have a moment back with them...i would & my connection is only secondary...actually my heart still hurts & i think how am i going to go on knowing that their physical existence is no longer there to hold, to laugh with, to talk to, to just be with....so i cannot imagine how they feel...i know those people (no matter how long or rather how short) were in my life for a purpose for a reason, God knew i needed them...so for those that i have come in contact with after fully understanding & appreciating this great lesson, i relish in the moments i have with them, i want to suck up as much of them as possible...b/c you never know & i never want to say, I should have...
...recap for my 30's...life may be sucking but it could be worse, suck it up ;)...life is way too short, each day is a gift, each moment with another person is a blessing, cherish it & live as if this was it...:)

this is "technically" jan. 8 2011
...despite what the computer says...day 8...
so i know you were wondering what happened...she gave up after 5 flippin' days, really...no actually my modem died right before i went to post...not unplug yourself & then plug it back in & it works, nope completely doesn't work & they (at&t) now has to send me a new one which will not arrive for 3-4 business days....so where am i now you ask, at Sparrows (a coffee shop in GR, one of my fav places, super chill & very city like)...and i will blog from this remote location until thee modem dost arrives...
this is day 8, not my fault...so i did not miss a day, you doubting Thomas'...& what the hell, you think i am going to blog about, but technology...i was born in 1982, yes 30 from 2012 is 1982...i know i am almost there...& in 1982 i know there were computers but they did not exist in every ones homes let alone most people's offices...i know hold the phone literally, how did people function...well there was thing called paper & pen, been doing it for years and it actually is very effective...
& cell phones weren't even on the map...they later came into play when Zack Morris needed to call Belding to pretend he was his dad...i just dated myself again..people had these things called house phones...if you wanted to call someone you used that...& there was not a text in sight...
fast forward...2012, cellphones are on everyone, even 5 year olds (wait correction my 2 year old cousin can properly use an iphone) & computers, are everywhere...when was the last time you wrote a letter, hand wrote or typed on a typewriter...did you pause long enough to think she is going to b*&^# the whole time about how technology is the demise while she is probably writing on her apple mac book...shut your face...no i am not going to lecture...& yes i am on my mac book :), how do you think i can annoy this many people at once...
technology is beautiful thing however it must be respected (we can chat about that another day) & we must not let it run our lives...thought -- what the hell is she spouting off about & true statement -- i am as guilty as you are, trust me...my phone is in my pocket, i check it way more than i should & i text ten million more times than i should pick up the phone & call someone; and i shan't not think what i do if my mac book died...
so why the post...well b/c i recently as i am getting older (ohh s#&*, she is going to get emotional again, & i shall reply stop your face & listen or rather read:)...i realize the importance of time, if you actually stop & think we do not have that much of it & the people in our lives are not going to be there forever (when we are young we think they will, but they will not:(...& now you are inserting the statement, well hells bells, that is why technology is so important, you can email & text more people in 2 minutes than you can write a letter or have a phone conversation within an hour...
that my friend is the important part, you may never get that back that phone conversation or that moment where you heard that special person laugh, cry, or say what you needed to hear, & you will never know how much that letter meant because you took the time to write it...think about that...
am i saying swear off all technology, NO, i am just saying take the time to write a letter or a card, or pick up the phone, my goal as i approach my next decade is to appreciate & use my time to say my thank yous, to say i love yous, to say i am sorry, to say everything i need to say without using a text or an email but with time...& like so many have said TIME is the GREATEST GIFT you can GIVE SOMEONE!

lettin' it all go...
day 7 (so weird, kind of freaky my sister just texted me this, WOW)...
part of growing up you slowly (not always) realize that you do not have control over things & often times when it hurts the most you must let go of something or someone...there is this great story about a little girl who buys a fake set of pearls with her own money...every night her father goes to see her before bed & asks if he can have the pearls...& the little girl would do anything for her daddy but not give up the pearls...it goes for several nights & each night the dad walks away...finally the little girl sees how distraught her father is and gives up her pearls...in place her dad hands over a real pearl necklace to his little girl -- sometimes we hold on to the fake stuff, & once we let go we realize something was waiting for us that was so much better...
...God tends to do that, most often He has something waiting for us, we just don't realize it b/c we are not willing to let it go...it is probably one of the hardest things for humans (i know for me especially) is letting go, i always think what if, but maybe the what if is the letting go...He has a plan & it will work out in the way it should be...my goal for this year is letting go, a good friend of mine, told me it was time to let stuff go & basically just be...so i was saying it in my head but maybe this is the time to actually listen & do...
so in the year of 30, to letting go & letting God...bring on the real s*#@!

this is what happens when you get old...u pass out!
day 6 (i didn't forget, i had a little cocktail & took a nap)...
i am not a drinker by trade, so when i do drink i am a light weight...so usually i feel it after one drink no matter the strength of the drink...so if you know of someone looking for a cheap date (remember he has to have bank so i can volunteer for the rest of my life), give me a shout...so kidding (maybe not ;)...so after having a little sleepy mcsleep, i decided to roll out of bed & blog to all the beautiful people who read this (or the 2 who have checked it)...& tell you all the times over my numerous years where alcohol (thought running through mind--s%$#, this could go for days, pause--please direct attention back to sentence where i said cheap date, thought -- whew!) has played a significant factor...
i actually was going to have a new years resolution to drink more, then i decided i like my liver & i also prefer to go through life remembering how stupid i am...& i also remembered that i am pretty crazy sans alcohol so it wasn't a good resolution to keep :)...
liquid courage -- that it does for me, or at least when it comes to those of the opposite sex...first big drink time when i did the senior crawl from college (either i cannot remember before that or i choose not to care about them)...we all had dares that night (my sister & her friend) & i was the only to do mine...where i called a hot (not semi hot, but hot, he opened his mouth (southern accent) & i melted & his gorgeous a#*, can we say WOW) college football player & told him such or rather abridge version...i chickened out a couple of times & then a friend finished it with a voicemail (ps drunk texting was not around then, it was drunk calling, did i just date myself:)...you gettin' excited, thinkin' we dated for "x" amount of years & then he broke my heart....NOPE, he called back & that was that...i did not stand a chance but it sure was FUN!
21st birthday -- that is what you were supposed to do; i puked in the bushes & did 9 shots -- i was proud of myself...pretty good; no indiscrepancies...
few years back (ps if said events do not surround a major life event you most likely will not remember age or very specific details, especially when hittin' the ole' 30)...went to NYC (i am in love with the city, another post another time) to visit my cousin & we decided to go to the bar & have a few cocktails (beauty of NYC most of the time, don't need a designated driver); well i apparently had a few too many & gained my liquid courage & texted (it was popular then) a dear friend of mine (who i missed & semi had feelings for; don't get your panties in a wad i might tell the story) because i had not heard from him...& ask him why not this was occurring...of course no response, until the next day way late when this friend informed me how busy he was that didn't have time to talk to his parents let alone me (not the response i was looking for as well as feeling like S&*%...well sad to say we barely talk anymore...so my dear friend, my apologies & i do miss you...
recently last summer, i attended a fab wedding, & i didn't drink that much but at end of the night i felt the need (rather others did) to give me few so i did gain some courage & needless to say not one of my finer moments (more details to follow) & lastly tonight, nothing crazy (like i said light weight)...but i decided to drunk text (i think that is what the kids refer to it as now) a said friend & i shouldn't have...nothing major...& much to my dismay no response (probably better)...EXCITING stuff right?
so what do you (well ME) learn over the years, even though a sips of some bubbly are quite fun, not always your finest moments...good stories to tell the kiddos or blog about but remember the immediate ramifications will be there for the days or months to come...NOW don't get me wrong i am not saying don't EVER do it, you must live...& to live is to get tipsy every once in awhile (not sloppy, stupid drunk just a little to take the edge off); just do it responsibly by doing it in good company & handing that phone to a friend!
aren't you glad i drank, woke up & then blogged...all this helpful info!
CHEERS!
