I am a free body culturist…

Wow I live in the wrong country sometimes….

Naked time is popular?? Sign me up!  Who knew I had so many international past-times

Couple things:

1.  Naked rambling?  ROFLMAO.  Um we call that streaking here in the States.
2.  It’s not naked if you are wearing legwarmers and hiking boots…that’s just hot!
3.  I think we need more pictures like this in American news.  I know I’d tune in for some AC360 nakie bootie action.

~Cheers

Excuse me I have to go, somewhere there is a crime happening.

I’m still not sure if I think this is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen or the scariest.

My next question is…wtf do you do with someone once they are under a net?  And furthermore, how secure is that thing?  I mean seriously, the difficulty level for lifting the edge of the net up and escaping is what, a 3 out of 10 at best? 

The length of this story also surprises me a little.  Notice there was no mention of when or where these are going to be put into use.

Still though…Robots are cool…giggity.

I’m the frugal gourmet

You might be a frugal bitch when:

So I’m driving into work this morning, and there is a good inch of snow on the ground which is melting and turning into ice.  I pull into the parking garage for work and attempt to pull up to the sensor that is suppose to read my parking pass and open the gate so I can pull through…but the fates thought they would toy with my emotions today.  So I’m waving my parking pass like a crazy girl all over my windshield for at least 5 min, when…low and behold someone pulls in behind me now blocking me in.  Yep…stuck.

Finally I decide I am just going to push the button and get a parking ticket so I can pass through the gate and park.  I open my door (since my windows were frozen shut), grab the ticket, shut the door, and proceed to the highlighted route (epic GPS reference ) to park.  Once safely nestled in a parking spot, I went to search for my gloves.  I found one easily in my hand…yes I’m mildly retarded…and couldn’t find the other one anywhere.  Again, after another 5 min, I come to the conclusion it dropped out my door as I was reaching for the parking ticket.

I walk down the 5 flights of stairs to where you enter the garage, pulled some serious Mission Impossible reconnisance work, and low and behold…my glove is resting in a pool of dirty slushy water and has tire tracks on it.

Moment of truth:  To pick up the glove or to not pick up the glove

So I spent a good 30 seconds of mental masturbation debating with myself over whether I should pick up my other glove.  /FRUGAL.  Let’s state facts:

1.  I bought the cheapest pair of gloves from Target I could find that matched my very expensive scarf my mom bought me in Spain…
2.  The price I paid for my pair of gloves…$2.99 (no tax /love DE)
3.  I’ve worn this pair of gloves since October so you can pretty much see my nails through the tips of them
4.  I actually considered picking up this glove so I could wash it and continue wearing it….that’s when you know you are a frugal bitch.

All I can say for myself is…at least I can admit it

~Cheers to saving my money

The test of time

If you force them…they will read

Ok ok..not force.  Just give a hard time endlessly

Red Red Wine

Well, I know this is going to make me sound REALLY old…and I swear I never watch this show, but last night it caught my attention due to a story they had on Israel…and then badow…this came along:

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/01/25/60minutes/main4752082.shtml

If you can youtube the Jan 25th, 2009 episode of 60 minutes I recommend doing so.  This article about red wine and food consumption was extremely interesting I thought. 

No funny quips, no witty banter, just a good story that I’m still thinking about today.

~Cheers to red wine

You spin me right round baby…

So, at lunch today I went to a spinning class…

I had two new epiphanies about myself during the experience today:

1.  I am higher maintenance than I thought.  Any woman who can work out during lunch and be back to work in a little over and hour either a. doesn’t workout as hard as I do, or b. is way less high maintenance than I am.  This comes as quite a shock to me since I don’t wear a lot of makeup, don’t use product in my lovely hair, take less than an hour on an average day to get ready, and don’t worry about my appearance like ALL of the other women I know.  What’s up with that?

2. Spinning…two words:  hell no.

~Cheers to trying new things

This is a man’s world

So,

I’m a woman.

Sometimes that really sucks. 

No, it’s not because I’m on my period, or because all I want to do is get married and have babies, or because all I do all day long is sit around and gossip with my best girlfriends about shoes and men….or any of the other stereotypical BS that is said about women.

It’s because no matter how much I am myself, no matter how intelligent or aggressive, no matter how logical, analytical, witty, or commanding…I am constantly forced to fight the stereotype (especially at work)…and some days, I just can’t do it.

~Cheers to tomorrow and picking back up my sword

Y’all might be a sterotypical redneck if….

Wow.  I am now stupider for having clicked on this link.

Curious case of…me

So on Saturday I went and saw the horrible movie, The curious case of Benjamin Button.  In retrospect: the movie probably wasn’t THAT bad, but I hated it.  It was severely sad, obscenely depressing, full of death, and about true love torn apart by circumstance.  All of my favorite subjects rolled up into 3 hours.  I cried the entire movie and left utterly brow beaten, other than that it was fantastic.

On top of that, I had a very vivid dream last night that my mother suddenly passed away.  I can only assume this was brought on by the weekend fun-time movie.  In my dream I was trying to cope with the loss of both parents, figure out if I was going to move back to Missouri to take over the responsibility of keeping up my childhood home, and deal with my brother.  Let’s just say I’ve had more restful nights of sleep. LOL.

Overall these two events have made me wake up today thinking about what I want in 2009.  To elaborate on what I came up with, let me tell  ‘a little story bout a man named Jeb’…LOL.

When I got divorced several years ago, I could always tell the people who felt the most immediate hurt by my decision.  They all stated the same mantra to me “I hope you find what you’re looking for”.  Wherever you all are, and whatever you all are doing right this moment, I want you all to know I did.  It was very simple really. 
I was looking for…me. 
I actually found me about that same time several years ago.   Timing is a glorious and funny thing lol.

That being the case, in ‘09 I don’t want for much.  Sure I have things I would like:  to buy a house again, to raise a loving family, to find a supportive husband and life partner,  to see every country in the world, to stop getting wrinkles and aging so quickly ;  but these aren’t things I am in a hurry to have or can’t live without. 

I am me.  Irregardless of anything else…you either like me or you don’t.  You either want me in your life or  you don’t. You either think I’m special enough to inconvenience a moment of your time, or you let the opportunity pass by.  Either way, I plan on watching 2009 go out the same way it came in…content and with open arms to all possibilities.

~Cheers to not knowing what 2009 will bring and being content with that

New year…new news

Oh sex stories, how I have missed thee….

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7806367.stm

The best quote in this article is “the idea of no sex is not exactly popular”…ROFL.  Really?  News? 

The idea that these women are withholding sex for fireworks is ridiculous.  Why do women use sex this way…it makes us seem like it’s really something we could do without given the ultimate option, and I gotta tell ya…um no.  Maybe the over 40 Italian women can, but as a women in her ‘prime’…yeah not gonna happen.  Good luck to ya ladies!

~Cheers to the Italian men for holdin out as long as possible
