Happy Birthday, Cammie!

My girlfriend, Cameron, doesn’t like to make a big deal about her birthday. I don’t know why so many people are embarrassed about admitting it’s their birthday. It makes no sense to me to try to hide that. It’s a fact. You were born. Its a great excuse to celebrate that!

When it’s MY birthday, I tell EVERYONE about it! I love birthdays! Bring on the cake and ice cream, and sing me a song!

My favorite birthday memory is when I was a really little girl, my mom baked a cake for me. She almost never baked anything, but for my birthday she went all out with a white cake that she cut up and pieced together and used all the pieces to form a huge bunny. Then she put white frosting all over it and then she sprinkled white coconut all over it and used little pieces of candy to make the bunny eyes, nose, whiskers and mouth. I sure wish she had taken a picture of that cake. It is forever in my mind as the best thing she ever did for me!

Happy Birthday, Cameron - we love you! If you want a bunny cake, let me know!

Bad People Ruin Things for Others

My sweet neighbor, Miss Evelyn, is a widow who used to teach first grade in our public schools for her whole career. She is the sweetest lady I know and I love having her live a couple of houses away from me. She couldn’t possibly have anyone who is an enemy, but somebody did a bad thing last night. It bothers me that someone who do anything mean to anyone in my neighborhood, but especially that they would do anything to Miss Evelyn.

We all take our trash cans to the curb at night for a morning pickup by the trash collector companies. Miss Evelyn took her trash can down Thursday night, and before the trash collectors came yesterday morning, some jerk(s) dumped her trash out in the street. It was an awful mess and totally uncalled for.

And what really make me angry, is that the trash collectors didn’t even make any effort to pick it up for her. So now this sweet older lady is supposed to go out in the hot sun and gather up a week’s worth of trash from her yard and the street? Oh, hell no!

I went out there when I saw her trying to get up the trash, once piece at a time and I sent her back in the house. I told here that I would handle it – so I went and got a rake and scooped it all up into a pile and then put all the trash in my trash can so my trash collector company will take it away Monday.

I have a good mind to call her trash collector company on Monday and tell them that the men on the truck didn’t bother to help her. I might even say that they dumped it out – I hope they get fired!

What’s for Dinner?

I’m hungry and nothing in the refrigerator looks appealing for dinner. I have a pound of hamburger meat and a pack of hot dogs. That’s some sad shit. I really don’t want a hot dog for dinner – I don’t even know why I bought them. They aren’t even cheap any more – These hot dogs cost over $4 for the pack. If you look at that by the pound, I could have bought steak! But the hot dog buns I bought have already gone stale and I had to throw them out. So if I have hot dogs for dinner, it’s going to be hot dogs on a slice of white bread. Ugh.

No More Duck Lips!

fb girl poses

I really hate to admit it, but I have girlfriends who are guilty of every single one of these photo poses that this guy is making fun of. I especially hate to see a girl do the duck lips. And the idiots who make gang signs like they are being cool. For one thing, gang signs are NOT cool. Gangs are stupid and everyone in them gets either shot or sent to jail. And if you are making gang signs because you think they are cool, you are really just showing the whole world how stupid you are.

Bring on the Weekend!

This week has been crazy busy. I’m totally exhausted and can barely imagine finding the energy to do much this weekend. I need to get my chores done around the house, go grocery shopping, and then come home and take a nap. Maybe after all that I can find the strength to get up and go out with my friends. More than anything, I’m just glad this week is over and ‘i have two glorious days to rest and recharge my batteries – or go out tonight and have some wild and crazy adventure.
