Ridiculous Girl

I'm sick. I have a cold. It sucks. It's one of those stupid colds that lingers around forever.  And you know how much I hate "lingerers".  Ughhh.....lingerers. It's one of those stupid colds that no doctor will prescribe any medication for because it's a "virus and not a bacterial infection".   Great.  That doesn't help me at all. So..... I just cough.   And hack.   And cough some more. Sometimes the cough gets so bad that I have to drink hot water with lemon and honey for hours on end.  And if that doesn't work, then I take cough medicine.  And if that doesn't work, then I suck on a Polish eucalyptus candy.  And if THAT doesn't work......then I spray Chloraseptic spray a million times down my throat.  I know what you're thinking.  How could something from Poland NOT work?  I know right??  It boggles my mind too.  I might have to contact the Polish Consulate about this.... Anyw...

Sometimes I like to go back through my blog and read my old entries.  I'm always curious to see which ones garnered the most attention from my readers.  This blog has sort of become a window into my life.  A place where I can share my thoughts, ideas and daily happenings.  And of course, it has become a place where I can document and have fun with every silly and ridiculous thing that seems to happen to me on a regular basis!   I'm sure it is no surprise to anyone that my "funny" blogs seem to get the most attention.  Everyone loves to laugh.  Everyone NEEDS to laugh.  And it is always my mission to bring happiness to those around me....no matter what is going on in my life, or with the rest of the world. After the horrific events that took place in Ottawa last Wednesday, I so desperately wanted to write about something funny today.  Replace some sadness with a bit of laughter and joy.  But for some reason, I couldn't....

So I ended my last entry  with a question to my readers:   Is it possible for a man to have a platonic friendship with a woman if he is already in a relationship?  I posed this question in an effort to get some advice on a neighbor who is in a long-distance relationship but seems to be sending me some mixed signals on the side. The response, from both women and men, was quite interesting.   Most of you think that it is impossible for a man, who is in a relationship, to have a female platonic friend on the side.  Then there's the few who believe that it is absolutely possible for a man to have a female friend.  And then there's the rest of you, who think that my neighbor is confused.....and that possibly me flirting with him will give me the answers that I am looking for. It amazed me that so many of my friends had such strong, and differing opinions about the same topic.   But WHY did this intrigue me so much? Everyone is di...

I tried to think of a clever way to start this blog entry........but we don't have time.  I have a ton of questions that need answering, so we have to get started right away. Remember my post about my cute neighbor?  The one with the 2 little girls? The one who my other neighbors think is interested in me, but I'm pretty sure he has a girlfriend....remember that guy??  If you don't, then you have to read that entry first.    Please read it quickly though.  Remember....we don't have time! (By the way -you should have ALL of my entries memorized but I don't even have time to reprimand you for this.  You're lucky.) Click on: Fuzzy was he? Ok!  You're all caught up now?  Good. So, my cute neighbor came over AGAIN to ask if our girls wanted to have a play date.   Seeing as how it was a rainy day and I was running out of crafts to do and movies to watch, I decided that a play date was a good idea.  He suggested his place...

8am this morning "Mommy?" "Yes angel?  I'm in Lola's room". Molly stumbled in with messy hair and squinted eyes. "Mommy?  Tan you tate off my diapew?" "Of course"  I looked at her very rounded bum and laughed.  "Wow!  It's full!" Molly chuckled. "Yeah.  I was dweaming and dweaming and peeing awww night long" I laughed. "You were dreaming?  What did you dream of?" "I dunno.  I cannot wemembah."   I pulled the stickers off Molly's 10 pound diaper and it slammed down to the floor in a giant thud.  Molly ran away bare-bummed and happy as can be. The discussion of dreaming with my 3-year old already had my head spinning.  I just LOVED trying to recall my dreams.  Especially if they were good ones. I slept 9 hours last night (great success!), and even though I woke up often to flip and readjust my hands under my pillow, I still managed to have some very long and crazy dreams....

After a nasty separation and over 2 years stuck in the legal process, you start to lose your "sense of self".  Not only do you wonder how people perceive you, but you start to wonder how you are perceiving yourself.  I know who I am, and I know what I want...........but does it come across to others when they see me?  This is something that I very often think about. I looked into the mirror the other day and saw a woman staring back at me.  She had kind eyes, but they looked tired.  She had smooth skin, but it was dry and depleted.  She had platinum hair and.............well, let's be honest.......there's absolutely nothing wrong with platinum hair ;)   I tried to momentarily step out of my body to see what others see when they look at me.  But of course I couldn't.  Because I knew the heaviness that I was going through at that very moment.  It was clouding my judgement. I am a woman who has been through a lot and I  h...

COUCH FOR SALE. Hmmmm...? HUGE COUCH FOR SALE. Hmm.  Nope. (delete, delete, delete) Urgh!  This is so hard! JUST BUY MY F**CKING COUCH.  THE OTHER ONES SUCK. Yeahhh....not so much. I might get permanently booted off Kijiji. Hmmmm..... HUGE SECTIONAL SOFA FOR SALE! Yes!!  By George, I think I've got it! --------------------------------------------------------- Two weeks ago I placed my gorgeous and very huge sectional sofa for sale on Kijiji.   I have been thinking about selling it for a few months now.  The couch is just way too huge for our small townhome.  And the girls seem to end up on top of eachother when trying to play because there's no room.  It just isn't the right fit for our family anymore.   But I just LOVE my couch.  It's big and beautiful and very comfortable.  And, as you all know.....I'm a hoarder.  And I don't like to sell things.  I just want to keep everything I've ever purc...
