T.V Time!

(Insert sound of me screaming with laughter!)

Tonight is Chicagolicious!

Macray!!!! 

I won't leave you with yet another video...at least not today.

(In case you are not familiar with my small tangent about Chicagolicious, my advise to you is to go to Here, and get with the program!)

Where ya been?

It's been some time since I have posted anything on the blog.
The truth is, nothing really is going on. I am so boring and vanilla right now, its scary.
The typical summer day for me goes like this:
Wake up
Wake up again (snooze button, act like ya know!)
Wake up my son
Wake him up again
Get him ready for school/camp
Make myself put on something that somewhat matches, so that I can take him to school/camp
Come back home and make myself a cup of coffee ( this is MY FAVORITE PART of the morning!)
Turn on the t.v and see what I have DVR'd the night before ( another favorite, because I have made it quite clear that I love me some Chicagoliscious)
Watch an obscene amount of t.v while I simultaneously knit, clean, do laundry, whatever...
Oh lord! Look at the time, Go get the child...

Yup, sounds quite boring when I put it all out there like that...I mean, shouldn't I be doing something a bit more constructive, like.....(fill in the blank if you want, and then let me know what the hell it is that I should be doing!)

Oh! I have another tip: Watch the movie, " The Book of Eli". Highly recommended. Made me so teary eyed, especially when I figured out what "book" was being so protected.

And now, I leave you with Macray! Lordy, this man makes me snap my fingers!

Random Tidbits

Since I really have not bothered to post any pictures on my page, I thought that I could give up some goods about me. These are just some random facts, in no particular order:

1. In case you did not know this already, I am a die hard bookworm. One of my first post talks about my love affair with books. I will pretty much read any genre, but as of late, "smut" has been my favorite! 50 shades, anyone?

2. I love the water. Pools, the beach and all that jazz...but, cant swim at all. Nope, I take that back. If I need to, I am sure I can save my son. Although he takes lessons and is better than me. How sad is that? My five year old is a stronger swimmer than me.

3. I eat ketchup with just about anything. This is quite random, but I wanted to put it out there. Just in case, there is someone like me reading this. And is ashamed. And people talk shit to them about it...You are not alone. Currently, there are about five bottles in my cabinet. For me...yup...this is awkward..

4. Breakfast is my favorite meal. But, it needs to be eaten after ten a.m. Anytime before is just gross. After 10, is cool. Unless, you have partied heavily the night before, and its about 3am, and you are so wasted, that the only thing you can think of is bacon, so you go to IHOP...at 3am...OK, you get the picture.

5. I believe that letter writing is a dying art. I think that everyone should write a letter to someone, at least, once a year.

6. I knit. Well...kinda...refer to Instagram on this one.

7. I love my job. Yup, I do. I just hate the bullshit that sometimes comes with it.

8. I know within five minutes of meeting you, if I like you or not. This is not a joke, and I have a lot of people that can say, I am an excellent judge of character. Some people call it being a bitch. I call it being safe.

9. A spin off of #9, I take no shit. From anyone.

10. Even more info about #9 and #10... I am an excellent friend. I am the one that you want in your corner. I fight hard for those I love, and I never stop until they are satisfied.

Well, If you have read this far, either you are bored and browsing the web on the toilet via your electronic devise, or you actually wanted to know a little more about me. I do hope its the later...cause if  its the first, do you scroll/type with the same hand you wipe????? Hmmmmmm.......

Monday Mania

Here we are again at the start of another week. As I have stated before, I am still in a bit of a writing rut. The way I see getting through it, is to write whatever comes to mind. So here goes:

Why am I so tired? Is it because I am completely lazy lately? I am on vacation until August. And if you haven't figured it out, yes, I am teacher. I work about 180 days out the year. I deal with children that are ages 10-11. On any given day, I see about 115 kids. Which means, that is 115 DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES. The fact that I take a nap everyday at 2pm, is a testament that I am tired as hell. There are some stories that I could tell, that could make your hair stand up on end, and snot fly out of your nose, but due to parents are crazy, I will not go there at this time.

Well, what have I been up to this summer? I read a book or two every week. I take my son to swim everyday. I dream of working out in my mind and never do it. I even have it worked out what I would wear to work out, but I do not have the perfect sneakers to wear...at least, that is what I am telling myself this week.

Another thing that I do for the summer, and I have to say, I am quite ashamed of it, is watch an obscene amount of television. I have a couple of shows that I DVR throughout the week and watch them at random.
 The first show that is number one in my world right now is Chicagolicious,  Lord, Mcray is my gay husband! He just does not know it yet. AJ gets on my nerves a bit though. I mean, his eyes spaz out of his head if a font is not the correct width ( watch the show and you will get what I mean when I say this). He needs to step to the side and let Mcray do his thang.
I also have become obsessed with this show called Taboo. This show is not for the faint of heart! It deals with showing how some people in some parts of the world may view certain things as normal, whereas others may see it as odd or extreme. They have had people on there that believe in being adult babies, people that believe that they should have horns coming out their foreheads, because they think it is a form of art, extreme tattoos....It is an acquired taste. Me being an open person, tend to gravitate towards shows like this, and when you are on vacation, it is the perfect time to rot your brain learn something. There are a few other shows that I love to watch, such as, Pregnant in Heels, and Pretty Little Liars, ( yes, yes! I watch Pretty Little Liars! Say something! I dare you!). 


Well, I have droned on about TV and sleep...My life is soooo full! I leave you with a clip of Chicagolicious.
MYBOOWES! <------ Watch the show to get that last lil' tidbit!

Not Sure Where to Go...

Well,

It has been a few days since I put the marriage post up. I have had some good feed back off of the blog about what I have written. That is always a plus. I would love it, if people left comments within the post though, but I guess that comes with time.

I have been going over and over in my head about some of the things that I should write about. Marriage has been at the front of the list for some time. If you know me personally, then you understand why.
I guess what all this means is, how personal do I make this thing. Do I talk about religion? I know how personal religion is for some, and I also know that some people go above and beyond when you bring up religion. Do I talk about sex? Here I am sitting here with a really smug look on my face... Again, to know me is to love me, and if you know me, you know my mouth is the dirtiest, raunchiest out there. Pun intended!

I  think that I should talk about it all. Everything. I think that I need a place to really let go, and say what I want to say. I think that by me saying shit, it gives others a voice as well. So, there you have it. Because of this, I think that my pictures on this blog will be limited. I think that I do not want to add a face to this space just yet. I am curious to know how this will play out.

Please join me on this ride of mixed up files...buckle up.

Relationships and Such

I know it has been some time since I have posted. That stops today. 


Lately, I have been thinking about relationships, marriages, etc. Years ago, it was unheard of a woman having a baby outside of wedlock. Some women were even married at the age of 16. It was also unheard of to become divorced. Marriage was held to the highest power. The institution itself was something that meant everything. Fast forward to 2012 and a slumping economy, and marriage has taken a back seat. The divorce rate is higher than ever, and not only that, some relationships are just that, relationships. Marriage need not apply.

I bring all of this up because I am one of these people. No, I did not marry at 16, but I had a couple of aunts that did ( that is a whole 'nother post). No, I am not divorced, because I have never been married. Yes, I am in a long term relationship and have been for some time.

......waiting for it...the question....the question I get all of the time...


(sigh..) I started this bullshit, so I must speak on it.. I have been with the same person for over 10 years. We have a child together. I even wear a ring on my left hand that signifies that I am engaged. Why am I not married? Well, that is a very good question, and I am hoping through this blog and life and waking up every morning that I figure it out.

We love each other very much. We have a good relationship. We both adore our child. He is ready to marry me. Has been for some time. I, on the other hand, have always been the believer of  "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". But that old adage is just that, old. My child is getting older and wiser, and sooner or later, questions will be asked.

If  I had to be real and tell what I really think about marriage, it would go a little something like this: My parents never married. They were/are friendly towards one another, and they were committed in raising me. And let me just say, I am glad it worked out this way. As I have gotten older, and take long looks at my moms personality  versus  my dad....well, lets just say I question how I even came about. I love them both dearly, but married..I am sorry, it would not have worked.

I have never really seen a good example of marriage in my family. Sure, I have aunts that are married. I have cousins that are married. But, having something like that up close and personal is something that I have never had.

I also wonder if "the paper" ( meaning the marriage license) is all that it is cracked up to be. Do you have to be legally married to be considered happily ever after? I mean, is it a must? Note: I am in no way mocking anyone that is married. I commend you actually, but I am trying to work this out in my head.

I am curious to know what others think about marriage, relationships and what not.

Please note that these are my thoughts and my opinions. I do like to consider myself an expert on things, but this is not one of them. I have offended someone...well, that's just to damn bad!
