Goodbye my sweet Muffin....

Goodbye my sweet Muffin....
Current mood: numb

I lost my best friend today...
The one with whom I shared all my hopes and dreams.
The one who listened to my worries and complaints and never said a word.
The one who stood beside me through thick and thin.
The one who lingered in the garden with me and stayed right by my side whether the air was hot or cold.
The one who would wipe away my tears with her kisses of love.
As I whispered my love to her in her ear ...she slipped away quietly...ever soquietly to be earth bound no more.
I lost my best friend today.

Goodbye Muffin....Goodbye....

Dear Alcohol,

Current mood: amused

Dear Alcohol,
First & foremost, let me tell you that I'm a huge fan of yours.

As my friend, you always seem to be there when needed. The perfect post-work cocktail, a beer at the game, and you're even around in the holiday's hidden inside chocolates as you warm us when we're stuck in the midst ofendless family gatherings.

However, lately I've been wondering about your intentions. While I want to believe that you have my best interests at heart, I feel that your influence has led to some unwise consequences:

1. Phone calls:
While I agree with you that communication is important, I question the suggestion that any conversation of substance or necessity takes place after 2 a.m. Why would you make me call those ex-boyfriends when I know for a fact they do not want to hear from meduring the day, let alone all hours of the night?

2. Eating:
Now, you know I love a good meal, but why do you suggest that I eat a taco with chili sauce, along with a big Italian meatball and some stale chips (washed down with WINE & topped off with a Kit Kat after cheese curls & chili cheese fries)? I'm an eclectic eater, but I think you went too far this time.

3. Clumsiness:
Unless you're subtly trying to tell me that I need to do more yoga to improve my balance, I see NO need to hammer the issue home by causing me to fall down. It's completely unnecessary, and the black & blue marks that appear on my body mysteriously the next day are beyond me.Similarly, it should never take me more than 45 seconds to get the front door key into the lock.

4. Furthermore:
The hangovers have GOT to stop! This is getting ridiculous.I know a little penance for our previous evening's debauchery may be in order, but the 3pm hangover immobility is completely unacceptable. My entire day is shot. I ask that, if the proper precautions are taken (water,vitaminB, bread products, aspirin) prior to going to sleep/passing out facedown onthe kitchen floor with a bag of popcorn, the hangover should be minimal & inno way interfere with my daily activities.

Alcohol, I have enjoyed our friendship for some years now & would like to ensure that we remain on good terms. You've been the invoker of great stories, the provocation for much laughter, and the needed companion when I just don't know what to do with the extra money in my pockets. In order to continue this friendship, I ask that you carefully review my grievances above & address them immediately.

I will look for an answer no later than Thursday 3pm (pre-happy hour) on your possible solutions & hopefully we can continue this fruitful partnership.

Thank you,

Your Biggest Fan

Stuff...

Stuff....
Current mood: blah

I dont know...just stuff....

my head hurts, too much on my mind.

do you find it odd that my 80 year old grandma uses AIM? I do.

i miss my friends (love ya Pam, you kick ass) but I also miss my springfield girls. my heart aches to be with you girls...

why do guys suck so bad sometimes? and why are all the good men taken?

EXCEPT for my FRIEND ROB!!! he is awesome! he doesnt suck at all!!!!! Makes me smile on a daily basis...what will I do with him gone all week!!!

i could really go for some buffalo chicken fingers...why do i always crave them so much? maybe because i didnt have them for like 7 months while i was in europe, so that is all i eat now. Bobby knows all about my chicken finger craving...with a little beer...right Bobby?

we had snow cones at work again today...i had a lot of cherry ones...mmmmmm....so freakin good! they took the machine back to the rental place today...no more snow cones.

today was so crazy busy at work. why dont they plan the schedule for a holiday? the only time i stepped away from the returns area today was my lunch break and to get snow cones...mmmm SNOW CONES

anyone want to touch my snow cones? PAT??

single..that is what i am....thought maybe i wasnt going to be...but i am...thats me forever and ever and ever SINGLE. oh well, good thing I like myself and that I find myself highly amusing.

Mary finds me amusing too...no one else ever finds us amusing. we never understand this. we think that we are F***ing funny. but everyone always just stares at us.

i wish Mary was a boy. i think she is my soulmate, too bad she doesnt have a penis and that she has boobs. Mary can you have a sex change so I can marry you? Or we can just get marrried here in Mass like we always talk about and still have sex with men? I think that we just need to do it...

i have been on a country music kick lately....i think my roots are coming back to me....GOOD OLE IOWA!! nope...i thought saying that would convince me that i should move back there, but no desire...

GO FIGHTING ILLINI!!! cant wait for March Madness....mmmmmm....my favorite time of the year! ahhh the new polls are out...we moved back into the top 10...#8...not bad, not bad. But Villanova is now #2...man I am never going to hear the end of that from Steve...

Tim, if you are reading this...my boys are closing in on your Texas boys (i miss ya a little bit, just so you know)
alright...i have more to say..but no one probably cares and i need to go shopping to get my mom a 50th bday present.....with all the $$ I have, NOT!
