I'm Jealous 2008-03-06 13:55:00 That's right I said it. I am jealous as hell of all you bloggers that have actual interesting blog fodder to post about daily.I mean really. Some of you have some really terrific, fun filled lives and can actually post something new daily in your blog.There are times when things get crazy for me then there are times , like now, when things are pretty quiet. Those quiet times don't exactly make for good blog read.I do have to report though that I have to go to Alabama next weekend, however. No it's not for pleasure or anything like that (Who the hell would go to Alabama for a fun time anyway? HAHAHA). My uncle (father's brother) is terminally ill and apparently not feeling up to par these days. My mother and I want to go see him so we are flying down next Friday. My brothers are goi Read more:Jealous
Sunday 2008-03-03 19:53:00 This weekend was pretty low key. I did nothing Friday and Saturday. I called my best friend and told her I was coming over to visit her on Sunday
and see the baby. I hadn't seen her new baby in several months and I was beginning to feel like a terrible friend. She decided to cook me breakfast so we sat in her dining room and ate breakfast and talked over tea while the baby slept. It was really nice. Once the baby awoke I picked him up and played with him for awhile. He is the cutest little thing. He is only 7 months and growing like a weed. I am a little concerned though because his forehead is beginning to protrude a bit and it has me worried. I hope and pray he's ok. He was born severely premature (at 24 weeks) and 1 lb. He stayed in the hospital in the NICU for about 3 mont
A Mish Mosh 2008-02-28 07:51:00 Well...not much going on with me per se. Life is moving right along and I am loving it right about now.The Analyst received some pretty shattering news yesterday. He was fired from his job. He felt it was coming. There was tension and behind the back talking and he was even written up by his manager. I feel really bad for him because he is mad, scared, ashamed and a whole host of other emotions all wrapped up in one. He is worried about how he will pay his bills and its a valid concern because he has some pretty mountainous bills not to mention child support to his ex wife.Unemployment is a complete joke. Who in the world can survive off of $380 a week? I mean come on. Not when you are used to making upwards of $75K a year. Some things will clearly have to go by the wayside and I feel bad
I'm Going To Kill Someone!! 2008-02-25 09:36:00 Ok why is it that my neighbors next door found it necessary to now have TWO dogs!!!!??? One yelping ass ankle bitter wasn't enough now they have two of those creatures over there.Can I tell you I am THIS close to a murderous rampage!You all are about to read about me in the national news section of your newspaper. UGH! Read more:Going
What is Up With That? 2008-02-20 20:44:00 Ok, there is something I really need to understand. I'm fighting an age old battle around here. What the hell is up with men and the remote control? I'm just asking. Why is it that men CAN NOT……I repeat...CAN NOT sit through a damn TV show without flipping the channels at least 12 million times during the course of the show.Men, please tell me what you fascination with the remote is all about. I just want to freaking understand. I cringe when a commercial comes on because I know I inevitably must deal with the obligatory channel surfing. I know we have 120 channels but must we rush to see ALL of them within a 2 minute span? Must we?Can we please just leave the TV on ONE channel?So men…please tell us what the deal is….that is if you can put the remote down long enough to type
I'm Going To Kill That Damn Dog 2008-02-15 08:50:00 My neighbor has this little pissy loud ass Chihuahua and I can't stand that bastard. She keeps yelping and barking all freaking day and night. 8:00pm, what is the dog doing? Barking. 10:00pm, what is the dog doing? Barking. 12:00am, what is the dog doing? Barking. 3:00am, what is the dog doing? BARKING!!!!!! The whole neighborhood can hear this creature.I tell you what, come next week, that little shit will come up missing. Watch. I'm going to finally get some sleep by any means neccessary.Little rat looking bastard. I hate that dog. Read more:Going

That's What You Are Supposed To Do 2008-02-12 10:18:00 I was reading a post from a male blogger the other day that had me pondering some things. He was bemoaning the lack of available “good women” and how they did not appreciate him for the “good man” that he was.A few questions popped into my head at that moment. For one, where are you meeting these women and what type of women are you getting involved with? Secondly, how are you treating these women? Are you sure you are doing what you are supposed to do? He went on to extol all of his virtues such as: Having his own house, his own car, a job, never have been in jail and taking care of his child. Of course these are good things and you deserve appreciation for it.Excuse me if I am wrong but those are things that a grown man is supposed to have and do anyway. You don’t get “
I Could Have Been A Rock Star! 2008-02-08 10:05:00 How many of you are in the careers you envisioned for yourself when you were the bright eyed, eager young person still in school trying to figure out what you wanted to be in life?Deep down, I am doing what I’ve always wanted to do…train/teach. I‘ve wanted to teach/train since I was a young girl and now I’ve been in my chosen career for the last 10 or so years.But I must say…I had a secret wish that I never told anyone. Deep down in the lower most recesses of my soul I really wanted to be a ……a……singer or movie star. Stop your laughing dammit!!! I could have been a singer if in fact I could carry a tune but since I can’t I decided to let that career choice move right on by. LOL I always imagined myself on a grand stage with TV cameras all over the place in my sexiest ou Read more:Rock Star
Wow! That Was Quick! 2008-02-05 08:20:00 I filed my taxes late last week via turbotax.com and I already received my state tax refund TODAY!!!! Damn that was fast!!!I truly wasn't expecting that at all. LOLOh, well...have a great rest of the week people. I'm off visiting your blogs. See ya there. Read more:Quick
I WILL Kick Your Ass 2008-01-31 17:56:00 Ok you pissed me off higher then I've been pissed in a LONG time. I asked you to take mom to her CT Scan appointment to help out because afterall, she is YOUR mother too. I need some help and it's time you stepped up to the plate.I asked you to do this ONE thing but NOOOOOOOOOOO! That was just a little too much. Your arrogant, rude, disrespectful ass have absolutely no regard for anyone else's time. You think the world revolves around you so much that you thought it was ok to take mom to her appointment 1 HOUR LATE. Oh yeah...you thought having her wait that long and just showing up to the radiology clinic an hour late was fine and they would just take her. But NOOOOOOOOOOO!!! They told your stupid ass that they wouldn't take her because you were AN HOUR late so now I have to take MORE tim
That Little Light Means Something! 2008-01-30 08:23:00 Ok, why did I get a call at work from a really good friend yesterday? She and I are talking about her upcoming TV game show appearance when all of a sudden she exclaims, "What is going on with my car? I ...think...I ....am...running...out...of ....gas....!"My immediate response was, "Well, how far are you from a gas station?"She says, "I'm not sure. Oh my goodness...I'm slowing down! I think I am really out of gas. I've been driving with my gas light on for the last three days."Me, *Blank stare* "You do realize that the gas light means you need gas right?"My Friend, "Everyone's a critic."Me, *Laughing hysterically*My Friend, "I gotta go call AAA. Bye!" Read more:Means
WTF Is Going on Here? 2008-01-28 17:55:00 This has been an extremely weird and sad day. My bosses boss died over the weekend. I liked her alot and she was a very smart, cool lady. I should have known something was up when my boss called me and requested I call her at home yesterday. That's when she told me the news.I don't know, it hit me kinda hard. It's difficult to realize that I will never see this woman walk into the office ever again. Man it's weird.Although we were bought out recently by a VERY large company our office here in MD is still very small. We are pretty close knit here and I love that so everyone is taking this pretty hard. The home office acted quickly and got us grief counselors in early this morning. That was FAST. I must say that it really helped to have them there.Now here is the crazy part. Women, I know we Read more:Going
Ok That's Some Kinda Good! 2008-01-23 17:44:00 Ok, a friend of my boss's asked me to hang out with her so...I did. We decided to go to Bonefish Grill for drinks and dinner.Well let me tell ya.....I am NOT a drinker but I decided to woman up and order a drink. As I perused the drink menu I noticed something called a Pomegranate Martini. That sounded pretty damn yummy so I decided to partake. I mean I like pomegranates and I had a Key Lime Martini in Jackson MS that was to die for so I figured how could I go wrong so I ordered it.Well let me tell you...all I can say is DAMN!! That is some kinda good!If you are ever in Bonefish Grill order yourself a Pomegranate Martini. You'll thank me later. Trust.Uuuuhhhh..... men. This goes for you too. Read more:Kinda
Ok...You've Got To Go. 2008-01-21 08:10:00 Things have been really confusing at The Diva's house lately. The Analyst and I are still in this weird area. One minute he is very distant and the next he's all playful.Bottom line is that I am still not getting what I want and need from him. I was driving into work this morning and began tearing up as I know I need to get him out of my house and the realization is painful. I knew he needed to go before but because he's still there and going back and forth with this behavior of one minute wanting me and the next not wanting anything to do with me is confusing and frustrating me which I told him it would do if we kept this up. It just keeps sucking me back in when I think I've pulled away.I need peace and to maintain my sanity and the only way to do that is to get him out.I am convinced h
What is Wrong With Us? 2008-01-17 08:15:00 I don’t think men realize just how serious marriage and kids are to some of us women. No one wants to spend the rest of their lives alone. Most of us want a spouse that will be there waiting for us when we get home armed with a warm smile, kiss and hug along with a “How was your day honey?” It gives us warmth, depth and purpose.There are some of us that are so serious we’ve made dating and marriage an art form.There are a few in our society that actually are not the marrying type and that’s ok but for some, the thought of not finding a mate is quite disturbing.I have a really good friend that lives in Charlotte NC. She moved there with the sole purpose of finding a husband and having kids because North Carolina is touted as the Mecca of single men.Well since she’s moved there a Read more:Wrong
Busy Time...Busy Time 2008-01-15 08:04:00 Hey everyone. I hope you all had a good weekend. My weekend was crazy. I might not have mentioned this before but my mother is disabled and wheelchair bound. Well, she had a fall this past Saturday. Luckily my niece was with her and called so I drove out there to help get her up into her chair. Very difficult process as I am a very small woman and my mother is extremely heavy. So we finally got her into her chair and comfortable. She was very sluggish and weak this day which alarmed me. I had a talk with her and she realized that she can no longer live in that house. I stayed with her the rest of the day and then all day Sunday to make sure she's ok.It really bothers me that she is home because too many harmful things can happen. She needs so much care that an assisted living faci
Driving Empty 2008-01-11 10:25:00 I noticed the other day that my car was running a little rough. It was sluggish one day then the next the "Check Gadges" light came on. I'm thinking to myself 'What the hell is going on with this car.'Now I don't profess to be the most mechanically inclined woman around but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that something was wrong with my baby. I decided to start out by taking her to Jiffy Lube. I figured it had been awhile since my last oil change maybe we'll start there.I pull into Jiffy Lube, I step out of the car and proceed into the waiting area. About 5 mins later a guy came out and says, "Ms. Diva. When was the last time you had an oil change?"I started to think about this for a minute. Hmmmmmm... " I was supposed to get one at about 83,000 miles.""Maam, your car has al Read more:Driving

Ok are you kidding me right now? 2008-01-09 17:47:00 Picture this, a warm, beautiful sunny Saturday afternoon. I'm at the Inner Harbor in Baltimore hanging out, taking in the ambience that is Baltimore. For those that are not familiar, the Inner Harbor is probably the premier tourist trap spot. Its the downtown waterfront where you can eat, drink, watch boats, shop and people watch which is what I was doing.My friend and I were just sitting on a bench watching people go by and being amazed at the fuckupness that some call fashion. There was a group of guys, about 4 or 5, standing sort of in front of us talking amongst themselves having a decent time when 2 girls walked past. Now, being that these two girls were relatively attractive you might imagine that the guys all turned their heads and watched the girls walk by. Well apparently one of t
Rules of Engagement 2008-01-08 10:35:00 Ok, how many of you are familiar with the term “Maintenance Man”? Hmmmmm? Well for those of you that are not let me explain. A Maintenance Man is some one that a woman gets together with occasionally while she is in between relationships for the sole purpose of having hot, steamy sex.When you have this type of relationship there are definitely ground rules that must be adhered to. Before we go any further let me explain something to you. Most of you, I am sure, are aware of the term “Fuck Buddy.” You are probably thinking, “Well Diva, isn’t that the same thing?” Well au contraire my dear. There is a distinct difference. A Fuck Buddy (Who we will refer to as FB) is someone you know, an actual friend, if you will. You may even have had a relationship with this person in the pas Read more:Rules

Diva's Randomness 2008-01-04 08:03:00 I am a freaking mucus factory over here! HONKKKK…HONKKKKI hate having a cold. UGH!As soon as I find out who the bugger was that gave this to me their ass is going to end up with a permanent limp!*******************************There is a woman at work who got 2 of her daughters jobs here so the three of them work together here in the company. No problem. We had a meeting yesterday and the woman and her youngest daughter were both in the same meeting. I told the daughter: “Wow! You got your hair layered. I love it!!!Her mother smiled then started shaking her hair and said, “We both went. See my highlights?”I said, “Oh yeah, it looks nice. I love the skunk like effect of the lighter highlights.”She just looked at me and turned around. Somehow, I don’t think that was the right th
You Selfish Bastard 2008-01-03 07:33:00 I've recently become aware of just how selfish The Analyst is but nothing hit it more on the head then this morning.This ass actually was surprised when I told him that I would be happier when he leaves. He had the audacity to ask me why. Excuse me.I flat out told him that it is difficult to see him every day. I told him he doesn't have any emotional attachment but I do and my life will be much easier when he's gone.How selfish can you be to not know how difficult this is for me and just leave to make it easier?He's gonna keep playing around and come home from work one day to find his stuff all on the lawn with the front door locks changed.Bastard!On to happier things....I am excited about the possibility of making my job a telecommuting position. This is one of my goals for 2008 to be
Another Year Is Here 2008-01-01 20:42:00 I truly hope you all ushered in 2008 in fantastic form. I hope you all had a great time and were safe. I can't believe we are already into a brand new year. A brand new year means a brand new lease on life.I've decided to do something that I have never done before during this time of year. Make a list of goals I want to accomplish in 2008. I think that will keep me focused. Something to really work toward.It may sound strange but I am actually looking forward to making my list of goals. It's weird.Do you guys make a list of goals you want to accomplish in any given year? How many of your goals do you actually accomplish?As for The Analyst and I, we are in this weird gray area. I want him gone from my home like NOW so that I can begin the healing process. It's like one minute we are total s
Bittersweet Holiday 2007-12-27 07:31:00 I hope you all had a wonderful holiday this week. I was off from work for a few days so its tough getting back to my routine. These few days off sure did go by fast! UGH! Oh well.Christmas for me was bittersweet. It was busy in that I cooked the entire meal and hosted my family over at my house. For all of you that have hosted parties or gatherings you know what an undertaking that really is. Anyway, the meal came out really good. I was pleased about that. Everyone seemed to have had a really good time.The holiday would have been perfect except The Analyst and I got into a huge fight. We have been fighting on and off for the last two weeks. It really sucks. I think we are pretty much over. How much does that suck to break up with your boyfriend on Christmas? That really blows.It’s really Read more:Bittersweet

You Parents Have My Total Respect 2008-03-12 07:56:00 My youngest brother travelled to Alabama to visit my uncle this week. I was charged with taking his two daughters to school Monday and Tuesday mornings. I had no idea what in the world you all had to deal with getting kids off and out to school every morning. My goodness.First let’s start with Monday morning. They spent the night with my brother’s fiancée and I picked them up from her house. The youngest one (aged 9) comes out of the bathroom still in her pajamas. I said, “Girl! Where in the world are your clothes?” “I don’t know.” she says. Apparently she forgot to pack them in her little bag the day before. So I had to drive her to her house, have her change her clothes then get her off to meet her school bus. I pick them up after school and bring them to my house to spend Read more:Parents

Who Do You Blog For? 2008-03-11 08:10:00 This question popped in my mind this morning as I was perusing blogs and reading. There is a blogger I am pretty fond of but reading his posts as of late have really turned me off. It's made me look at him in a negative light because of some of the things he's written.Well, this guy posts and he posts and he posts. But no one really comments on his posts. He writes as if others are reading and commenting but no one is commenting.It made me think. If I blogged and no one read my blog would I continue to write? If the answer is no then who am I really blogging for?When I first started blogging, it was with the intention of chronicling personal aspects of my life. Pretty much like a diary but it would be online so I wouldn't run the risk of my friends and family reading it. Then it evolved in
What is this? 2008-03-09 09:09:00 OK, so the neighbors dogs surprisingly have been pretty quiet the last few days. Could it be the cyanide I put in their food bowl? LOL Just kidding. The dogs have been quiet but now I have another annoyance to deal with.Someone's car alarm SCREECHES at least seven times every damn morning! What is that about? If you have a tricky or malfunctioning car alarm, do us all a favor and DON'T SET THE DAMN THING. Geesh!These people are about to really make me go postal.

Open Your Eyes 2008-03-20 10:06:00 Renewing of wedding vows should be a meaningful event …….right? It’s pretty significant right?Well, a couple of weeks ago a friend of mine and her husband decided to renew their marriage vows in church on a Sunday. Several of us (friends and family) gathered at this church to witness this event and to lend our support.Let’s backtrack a minute shall we? About 7 ½ years ago hubby (we’ll call him Dumbass) cheated on his wife and tore their family apart. They have two children and have been married for 11 years at that point. The wife (we’ll call her Clueless) was so devastated by Dumbass’s indiscretion that she put him out of the house. He eventually moved in with the bimbo he cheated with. For the next three years Clueless and Dumbass were apart but communicating for the sake
