I'm in the midst of the crazy work schedule I mentioned a few weeks ago. Only 5 more weeks of craziness to go.
Although I can't give you any details, since I last posted I:
came out of the blocks like a bitch from hell and really shocked some folks
worked 18 hour days 8 days in a row
lost my cool with a jealous friend
met a woman who lost 365 lbs
got lost in bfe and turned a two hour trip into a four hour trip
got to see inside my first smart car convertable
received another apology from the man that insulted me a month ago
played rock star for the first time .... or maybe it was rock band....
drank too much hoegarden
built up my biceps toting around boxes and boxes of documents
showed some leg
crashed from exhaustion and,
made myself a delicious martini
I am sooooo glad to know that Congress is worried about Monkey bites

Oh my God! I'm litterally rolling around with laughter. It reminds me of "New Kids on the Block" or "Backstreet Boys" trying to get all edgy and shit. NSFW, or at most workplaces anyway.
My best friend E is not talking to me anymore.
Sug and I had lunch with her about five months ago. She asked me/us what we thought of her potential new boyfriend she had been seeing all of two weeks.
As I had always been honest in the past, I told her that I really like him, but that I was concerned about a few things. I told her that I didn't know him well enough, but that I thought he might be really possessive and controlling and that she should just watch out and listen to any red flags if any popped up.
I back tracked and again highlighted that I had only met him once. (For the record, I have no doubt he is an absolute control freak - an isolate her from her friends and totally control her kind of guy. But I didn't say that.)
Anyway. We used to talk once a week and see each other once a month. We haven't spoken in five months and she has given me no reason for not returning my - now 3 - phone calls.
THIS IS WHY I DO NOT HAVE WOMEN FRIENDS!
I thought we were supposed to look out for each other. If she were strong, I would have not been so concerned; but she has been through two extremely violent and abusive relationships AND she was going through hell with her son at that moment. I thought she needed the tempered truth.
I guess I was wrong.
Men - you totally would have listened to me and, perhaps, decided to disregard my advice - but we would have still been friends.
What is it about women that there is no room for mistakes? How do you know when a woman wants to hear the truth and when she wants to hear a polite lie?
*I know I am generalizing - but seriously - sometimes the only way to have a dialogue about generalities is to generalize.
Guess who called today? This Guy. He called to apologize for his egregious and inexcusable behaviour. He wants me to call so he can apologize "in person" rather than to my voicemail.
Only took him 13 days......so he might actually mean it. Or not......
I'm in no rush to call him back.
Ordered the hottest little red corset last night:
CAN NOT Wait! I'm trying to put together a concert outfit in honor of Only Ten Ribs*, the performer. I'm thinking white or black blouse under the red cincher, black pencil skirt, thigh high stockings and some killer red or black pumps.
What do you think? Will it be hot?
