Where do I start?
Maybe with those derogatory voices in my head? Or with my continual quest for better
eyelashes and eyebrows? Or perhaps, my self-diagnosed
ADD? Hey did you see that purple
elephant walking down the street?
Needless, I’m just a gal documenting the crazed happenings in my life
every once in a while.
I’m a perpetual singleton trying to earn a buck working hard for the money raising three incredibly gas-infested canines. Two of which are rescue dogs and the third is the sweetest thing since Weight Watchers came out with their new dolce de leche flavor ice cream bars. But is it really ice cream? Who cares, in the words of Dora the Explorer, that shiz is delicioso.
I talk about hot guys on the treadmill next
to me at the gym. I talk about which toilet paper I use and which I
don't. I talk about dingle-berries upon necessity with said toilet paper
brands. If you want to make fun of me, get in line.

P.S.
Once in a blue moon I'll bore you to
death with stories of my childhood which wasn't tragic unless you think
that wearing fake Keds and not having Esprit brand clothes in the 80s is
considered tragic and then, well yeah, perhaps my childhood was
tragic. Oh, and you know what else was tragic? At 16, this is how I
learned to drive.
I’m also on this running mission. Not sure if I am running from the voices in
my head, the fear of extra tubage around my waist as I age closer to 40 or to
simply try and exceed Usain Bolt’s record of being the fastest man on
Earth. Needless, I’ve been an avid
runner since, oh February of this year.
Okay, so I got a late start in life.
But until my knees blow out and my ankles stop being cankles, I’ll
continue to run with the good Lord willing and as long as Gatorade 2 Series is
still in mass production.
I work in advertising as TV commercial producer. You can stop foaming at the mouth right
now. It’s not glamorous, and I haven’t
yet met Don Draper. I don’t take 2-hour
martini lunches and I surely don’t get free tickets to the VMAs or Ellen. But if you’d like to send me to one of those
shows, please feel free to call me immediately.
Do not pass GO. Just stop right
now and give me a shout.
Perhaps my most important defining quality is my litany of horrible dating debacles. I’m not
proud of them, but my friends keep telling me that my short stories could one
day end up on the New York Times Best Sellers List. I’ve kissed my fair share of frogs and thus
far they are deeming to be disgusting amphibians with slime-infested antics. As you can imagine, I’m still waiting on my
Prince Charming. He’s out there. I
just know it. Or so the voices in my
head tell me so.
Welcome in,
Baller. Holla.
Hi. Been reading for bit but never commented. Thanks for the one pager catch up.
ReplyDeleteI nearly busted a gut at the last part...I learned to drive in a 76 (might have been 78, can't remember) Chevy Caprice estate station wagon...dark blue woody...I feel your pain. At least you had the upscale Buick...jealous!
On the plus side, once I got my license, over half the hockey team could car pool with me, so I was never lonely.

Well, I am so glad to learn of new followers. Thanks for reading!
DeleteOMG whyyyyyy do you hate WHO DAT? If it's because of the "poor grammar" (I've heard this as a complaint before), then maybe the phrase in its entirety would remedy your misgivings: Imagine a Cajun man shouting in his charming accent: "Who dat say dey gon' beat dem Saints?" I love it love it love it. And the team, and the city, etc. :) But you have a right not to love it, I'm just doing my due duty to defend the boys.
ReplyDeleteExcellent intro for the American Bridget newbies. :)
Oh Claire! I love me some Mr. Brees. I just don't like the saying WHO DAT. Go Saints go! Except that I don't root for any NFL team, I'm a die hard college football gal myself.
DeleteJust like anonymous, I've been reading for over a year but this is my first time commenting...I think. I love your writing style. You're real and honest and don't paint your life as this perfect storybook tale like so many other bloggers do.
ReplyDeleteBTW...wine beats powdered doughnuts and should never be given up. Drink up!
Ah, thanks Tracey. You make my heart sing after reading this!
DeleteI'm not new but I found this insanely entertaining. Love "meeting" you.
