caffeine, booze, & undereye concealer!

the divorce is the first thing my husband and i have agreed upon in the 14 years since we got married.

i’m thinking about hosting a dinner party – my wine rack is empty.

people tell me i look a lot younger than i am – i think vodka may have preservative qualities.

it really troubles me how poorly my family communicates; but i’m not going to say anything…

not only are some days a complete waste of makeup, but they are also a complete waste of contacts.

i am so happy i had 2 girls – i can’t wait until we are all on the rag at the same time.

my kids are seeing a therapist because i prefer to pay someone to listen them bitch about me so i don’t have to.

in these past 3 months, i have been caught in the middle of more than one marital spat over paint colors. so, one day i cheerfully told a particularly angry couple that i get $9.80 per hour to mix paint, but i charge $325 for mediation.

if i don’t call back, don’t take it personally -it’s only because i don’t want to.

not only am i my own worst enemy – but i am my own worst pusher.

i am so organized, my items for curbside bulk collection were all sorted and labeled. i take pride in having the neatest trash in my neighborhood.

self involvement is extremely time consuming.

it’s not really the possibility of catching an std that worries me about sleeping with strangers, it’s more the being found in a hotel room dead and  chopped up into a million tiny pieces. i can just imagine that being explained to the kids: “well, girls, you see, mommy was a bit of a slut…”

when my kids tell me long stories i totally zone out. they never have a point anyway.

how much of a leap is it to make vodka from the decomposing potatoes in my pantry that i keep buying & forgetting i have? it seems such a waste to  throw them out. while we are at it,  what can you make out of onions?

for most women, me included, the supermarket is a major social event. it would really be helpful if they would install chatting & non-chatting aisles.

if you have girls, then motherhood is exactly like school, except the mean girls live with you.

the circle of bullshit

i asked verizon if they have an “unlimited bitching plan.” they do, but it gets routed through india, and i only bitch domestically because, even though it’s cheaper, i can’t stand the offshore delay.

is it wrong to nap during a playdate – at your house?

i immediately dislike men who give women the fish handshake. don’t be an asshole & break my hand, but give me a real handshake & show me some R-E-S-P-E-C-T, dammit.

i have found a cure for the common cold: take 2 vodkas & sleep late in the morning.

what is it about the sound of children snoring that is so delightful? oh yah, it means they are finally sleeping.

how many times is it acceptable to wear a bra before washing it? do they really get dirty?

90% of the time i don’t wear undies to work because when i bend down they stick out of these damn low waist-ed jeans. now, i show so much crack, i am in danger of being transferred to the plumbing department.

i’m not bitter – just sweet n’ sour.

i haven’t gained weight -  i’m bloated.

a quick perusal of my dvr menu will reveal that i watch far more cartoons than shows with real people.

there is a saying: your toad, is a prince to another. so, maybe if you leave him in a pond in the middle of a forest, some stupid princess will take him home with her and then you can ride off into the sunset…alone.

ladies, please wax. don’t bleach. it’s still a mustache even if it’s blond.

i am instituting a tampon exchange program called Code Red. here is how it works: any woman can walk up to any other woman anywhere and just say “Code Red” which is universal for “i need a tampon, stat!” it’s like the take a penny, leave a penny dish but it’s need a tampon, give a tampon. imagine the implications for facilitating peace and clean pants globally.

i am tired of hearing people from other countries & states proclaim that everything where they are from is better. really? is it? because here’s a newsflash: we didn’t invite you. see if they will take you & the rest of the assholes back.

my children make unreasonable demands and threats and throw fits when they don’t get what they want, but i told them i don’t negotiate with terrorists.

i know a man who wears a bad toupee with a baseball cap over it every day. i just can not wrap my head around it. is the toupee receding? doesn’t his head sweat doubly? that is a vanity rivaled only by anal bleaching, imo.

cats: the chosen pet of co-dependents – you love them because they hate you.

i am considering having only one eyebrow tattooed raised because i just can’t  master the muscle control to do that on my own.

i think a manic episode here and there can be very productive.

a friend remarked that when people say they have to quit drinking for awhile, she finds it worrisome. i told her that’s i why i have never said i would quit.

people frequently tell me i look like patricia heaton. i am never sure if it’s a compliment or an insult.

an oft overlooked bennie of divorce is the fact that you no longer have to pretend to like your in-laws.

jesus turned water into wine but i can turn a bad husband or a crying child into a vodka tonic.

once i stayed over my mother’s house and came down with a severe case of the runs and had no choice but to violate federal law and use chlorox cleanups in a manner inconsistent with their labeling…

parenting is not a democracy, it’s a monarchy; and i am the queen.

when people of color come into the store, i give them extremely exceptional customer service – it’s a weird reverse racism, but i want them to walk away thinking, “white people aren’t so bad, after all.”

so far the divorce is the the biggest fight we have ever had during the marriage..

all of the experiences in my life have led me to be the person i am today: a huge bitch.

if wine is the nectar of the gods, then vodka is the juice of the mortals.

quitting the gym has actually unexpectedly relieved me of a lot of guilt: the guilt of not going was far worse than the guilt of not working out at all.

the average marriage lasts 7 yrs. the average jail term is 5; but, you can get out of jail early for good behavior.

when people say i am a bitch, i am flattered. it means i am doing a great  job of pissing off the right people.

youth may be wasted on the young , but middle age ain’t no prize. and since i just saw a man wearing a “senior olympics” t-shirt, i am now even more terrified of old age, although it does involve some sweet discounts.

i hate hitting bottom – the bottom of the bottle.

so, i considered having my teeth professionally bleached until the hygienist told me i would have to avoid coffee & red wine afterward. well, that was a very short consultation.

having kids means never you will never have to be alone again- in the bathroom.

hey! the 1980′s called and kit wants his car alarm back.  the rest of us couldn’t give a rat’s ass if its beeping.

i did that no carb diet – until lunch. now, i just follow this food pyramid:

so my daughter wanted to know what the “c-word” is. i considered telling her that it’s her father’s pet name for me since the divorce.

dr. gggb says: one nostril continually running is far more annoying than both being stuffed up.

having a litter box in your home is like having a toilet you never flush.

it has been said that if we all sat around in a circle and put our bullshit in the middle, everyone would keep their own crap. this may be true, but i would still like the opportunity for a bullshit swap meet.

grape juice is really just wine with training wheels.

substitutes i have used for milk in my morning coffee when the milk in my fridge has curdled: vanilla yogurt, powdered milk, yo baby yogurt drink, hot chocolate mix, powdered milk from 1974, whip cream, mini marshmallows, cool whip, vanilla ice cream, sour cream with sugar, powdered sugar, carnation instant breakfast, and anything powdery or white that when mixed with water resembles milk. it would behoove me to learn to drink it black – i hear you never go back after that anyway…

i never realized the true depths of my need for validation & approval until i started a fb fan page. 100th fan gets a pony…

make mine extra dirty, please.

i have a dream…

apparently, my last post was too serious for some of you… i am deep people, it can’t be shits and giggles all the time. i have many facets – broken teeth & floaterslike a beautiful diamond or a mental patient with multiple personalities…anyway, now i feel the pressure to entertain you with an inane topic. lately, i have been thinking a lot about dreams. so, here’s a cool idea: i will tell you about the crazy dreams i have and later we can analyze them for fun. there are a few major recurring dreams i have had for years that, among other things, obviously reveal major control issues i have (which i know comes as a huge shock to you):

1. the broken teeth dream

2. the forgotten locker combo

3. the unchecked voicemail

4. floating

5. busted brakes


1. the broken teeth:

this is my most prevalent insane dream and i have been having it for as long as i can remember. it starts with my tongue growing so swollen that it breaks my teeth until i am spitting out my teeth in shards. my teeth just won’t stop breaking. i am always trying to get to a dentist, but can’t. it feels so real that i am never quite sure if i am dreaming. i fully expect to wake up without teeth. and until last year, i had never met anyone who had this dream. in fact anyone, i related it to, looked at me like i was one sandwich short of a picnic. so last year, i met the ONE other person on earth who also has this dream and i knew i met my soul mate and possible second husband. i mean how did that even come up in our conversation? (this is entirely another story altogether) but unlike me, he had a good reason for having it – like getting into a bar fight and having several teeth knocked out. anyway, i digress.

2. the forgotten locker combo

this one involves me wandering around middle school or high school as an adult trying to remember which is my locker and what the combo is. i have major anxiety as i am meandering around the school because i know i am not supposed to be there and i am going to get busted wandering the halls during class. it sometimes morphs into college where i need to take a final for a class i blew off for an entire semester and can’t even remember where it is or what day it was even on (this is not so far fetched from reality). why do i still have this dream 20 years after i used a locker?

3. the unchecked voicemail

this dream stems from my very first job out of college. i worked as a “district manager” for ADP selling payroll services. it is reality that i continually got busted for not checking my email because i was a mondo slacker and a way crappy salesperson. sixteen years after quitting that job, i still have the dream that i am getting reamed by the sales managers for not checking my voicemail and then i realize, “hey i don’t work here anymore,” so i tell ‘em all to fuck off, and i leave. *interesting sue fact, this actual occurrence in my real life is why i hate checking voice mails to this day. i am still programmed to dread the information contained in them. so there, people, that is why i never check them, nor return your calls. so don’t bother leaving them for me unless we’re dating. and then you have an entirely different set of communication rules which will make you want to pull out your hair (well, duh, i am a chick).

4. floater

i have had that floating dream for all my life, you know the one where you just start floating up and up into the sky like a human balloon and you can’t get down? you can kind of steer yourself around by flapping your arms but never actually land? no? you don’t know it? alrighty then. this dream usually morphs into me being naked and having to get somewhere but my legs won’t work. i can barely walk. i am dragging them or crawling behind a group of people. i am usually completely bare-assed trying to cover myself up. sometimes i am being chased whilst nekkid and i can’t run. i never do get caught but this dream always leaves me in a sweat the next morning.

5. the busted car brakes

so, i am happily driving along and then i need to stop at an intersection or for a car in front of me. i step on the brakes and they won’t work. then i start stomping on the brakes but the car keeps rolling. it always ends with me driving off a giant rollercoaster like hill in which i can actually feel my stomach drop in my sleep, off the road, in a major collision, or being pulled over by a cop. i am always like, “shit, i am really screwed here,” but then i wake up relieved that it was just a dream. i dunno, but this dream may have something to do with what a terrible driver i am rumored to be…

so, there you go. feel free to analyze all of this insanity. use it for your thesis. share it with your shrink. share it with my shrink. dream about my dreams tonight. then analyze why i felt compelled to share the twisted innerwebs of my mind with you…
