My trip to the dentist was okay. I lived. It didn’t take as long as I thought, which was good. I came home and laid on the couch for a little while, and then felt that I needed to tear apart my apartment and clean it. Oh my, do I love to clean! My apartment is sparkling. I even rearranged my living room.
I did not have the shits today. Thankfully. I did laugh my ass off when I reread the post from last night. I’m such a dork.
And here are some thoughts:
My thoughts on white zinfandel wine: I know that this might be wrong and snobbish, but when someone orders or offers me white zinfandel wine I immediately turn my nose up and think they are a wuss. Don’t worry, I still love the person. I’m not fickle. This probably means I’m a wine snob. So be it.
My thoughts on giving compliments: I’m not one to give loads of compliments. When I say that I like something or that someone is talented, I really mean it. And when I give someone a compliment, I expect a thank you. I don’t want the person to kiss my feet or declare their undying love for me….just a thank you. That’s all I’m saying. Manners. Common courtesy. It says a lot about a person’s character.
My thoughts on black jeans: Don’t wear them. Buy some black pants. This goes for white, red, purple, green, or brown jeans. The only acceptable color for jeans is blue. This rule is for both men and women.
My thoughts on men who are over 35 who live with their parents: Unless your parents are disabled and you are there for their care, you shouldn’t be living with them at that age. And if you are, please don’t email me for a date. End of story.
My thoughts on women who think that their boyfriends should pay all of their bills because they’re men: Get a fucking job. You ruin men for us responsible women who respect the men in our lives.
My thoughts on people that appear on Judge Judy: Keep fucking up because it’s highly entertaining.
Now, the massive 15 person stroke.
i’m okay, you’re okay: Duckie is cool. He has a funny outlook on life. He is self-deprecating, but not too much. He has gorgeous children. He’s a great artist, so go check out his artsy blog too. I think he found my blog first, but I don’t know from where. Go visit him.
Island Spice: She makes me laugh, hard. I picture her as this exotic beauty who has houseboys beating the gorgeous men wanting her away with a stick. My favorite post is this one, where I believe I laughed so hard I shot water out of my nose. Please check her out. She’s worth it.
Joey Porter’s Pit Bulls: He’s a fairly new reader. This blog is a nice mix of sports, humor, reviews, and opinion. He’s funny. He’s a regular commenter here. I think he came from Lozo, but I’m not sure. You need to go over and check him out.
Kat’s Peanut Head: Another newish reader. She always has great comments. She just started a new job so go over and congratulate her. I like her. She’s good people.
Kav’s Blog: I have no words. He’s one of my favorite bloggers. He makes me laugh before I even start reading his posts. I’m not sure if he found me or I found him. I’m pretty sure half of my blogroll links to him and with good reason. He knows how to write in a way that makes you feel like you’re right there experiencing life with him. He is one of the funniest commenters around. I swear, I’m jealous of his wit. His children are gorgeous. His wife is gorgeous. They’re all gorgeous. If you haven’t visited him, go now.
Let me say this..: She was one of my first readers. She works at the same company I do. She’s a great person and a friend. Go see her.
Lilium Inter Spinas: This is one of my favorite blogs. She’s a great writer, photography, dog and cat mommy, etc…. I’m pretty sure I’ve like all of her posts and that if she lived closer to me we’d be friends. She just recently cut her gorgeous hair and it looks adorable. These are my favorite posts…this, this, this, and this. Her HNT’s are also very beautiful and tasteful. She’s an awesome blogger and one of my blog gal’s. Kisses.
Liz’s Fun Time Happy Hour: This women is my friend. My buddy. My soul sister. I love her. Seriously, I do. I can’t even pick out a favorite post because I just love her. She was one of my first readers. She is funny and smart and beautiful and just plain awesome. She’s had to make some tough life decisions lately and I’m proud of her. Go see her and say hi.
Looking for Sunshine: Another one of my first readers. I love her blog because she’s smart and writes about topics that are interesting. She’s funny and creative. Go check her out and see for yourself.
Margaritaville: Oh, this chickie rocks. I love her. She’s fucking funny. Hilarious. She’s a sweetie. Someday I will get on a bus or train to see her. She’s not that far away. She is a firefighter, so she saves lives which is just awesome. You have go see her.
Marriage Misadventure!: He is sexy. He has a sexy wife. They have sexy sex. You need to go see for yourself.
Miserable People: This is Shadowdog. This blog is a book he’s writing that covers 365 consecutive days. It’s really good. He also has another blog that’s worth checking out too, MP Extras. Get comfortable and go to his site. You’ll enjoy it.
Much Ado about sumthin!: I found this blog through Lozo. Dear lord, she is fucking funny. Hilarious. Hysterical. Goofy. Charming. Smart. Creative. Her blog has quickly become one of my favorites. I have no words that will do her justice, just go over there.
My Bottom Smarts: This is a blog about spanking. Tastefully, artfully, intelligently done. I love Bonnie. If you are curious about spanking or someone who is into spanking and want to find a community that embraces you, you should check her out.
Phew! That was a lot of stroking. I hope you all do check these blogs out.
And now, I’m going to drink some wine and relax.
Have a great weekend!
Fresh Air Lover 
Awwww shucks, thanks Debbie. You’re good people too.
Oh…and kisses on your feet and I swear my undying love to you. Forever and always lady!!
Was that good? I know you say you don’t want it but it was fun to say anyway.
On a more serious note, you’re right about common courtesy. It always amazes me how rude people can be. I guess it shouldn’t since there’s so many of them out there. One example…the rude ass people who won’t move over to the side as you’re walking towards each other. Move the fuck over people!! You’re not all that!!!
You are too cute. Thanks for the lovin’s. Even when I don’t feel like writing, I read your blog and it makes me wish I had half as much to write about.
OH, and I also love Judge Judy…really all Judge *insert name here* shows. I call it my “white trash television.”
OH yeah, I’m glad to hear the time at the dentist went well and you’re all better.
Since you’re in a cleaning mood you wanna come over and clean my place? Thanks bunches.
Aww thanks for the shout out.
I too love Judge judy and would LOVE to go on her show and have her yell at me and call me ‘STUPID’.
You know, I’m glad you do these strokes because just when I think I’ve followed every link on your blogroll, I discover another gem.
I’m next! I’m next!!
Oh, and I agree with you on all of your thoughts, especially white zinfandel, men living with the ‘rents and women expecting to be bankrolled. My feelings are slightly bruised about the black jeans thing. I’ve noticed that I’m I dying breed. Kill me though it may, I’ll consider your advice….
…even if they’re un-faded and a really nice boot cut???
(shuffles feet shyly) Thanks for the double shoutout! 🙂 I totally wasn’t expecting to be on your list.
It’s interesting about taking compliments. When I was 17 years old I was chosen to speak for my graduating class. I had written a killer speech and when my speaking tutor complimented me on it I made a lame joke and blew it off. He told me something that I’ve never forgotten. “You’re going to get a lot of compliments after this speech and you need to learn how to take a compliment. People think they’re being modest when they say ‘it tweren’t nothing’ or otherwise downplay the compliment. But it’s really an insult to the person giving the compliment, as well as the more obvious one to yourself. You’re basically saying the complimenter is a moron and wrong for liking something you did. I wish more people understood that the proper response to a compliment is always ‘thank you.’ It doesn’t make you an egomaniac to say ‘thank you.'”
That has come back to help me again and again because I never feel worthy of compliments so my natural instinct would have been to either ignore them or downplay them.
One other thing. This weekend I’m shooting a comedy film about dating so as research I’ve spoken with dozens of men and women about their dating pet peeves. One thing that KEEPS coming up and coming up is the man (or woman, surprisingly) still living with the parents at an older age thing. Is that really so common? When did this become in vogue? I can’t believe how many people have mentioned this. I always assumed it would come up during dating about as often as running into someone with one eye or a metal nose. I can happen, but not very often.
What are your feelings about white shoes in january? saw that at a bar last night.
re: wine snobbery – there is NOTHING wrong with being a white zin snob. NOTHING.
Re: stroke – Many thanks. That was very kind of you!
I’m touched. Really I am. I only wish that I had a post or two from brighter times to lead off… Seems so unfair to introduce people to my writing with such heaviness… Hardly seems like a “happy hour,” or even a “fun time” for that matter.
You call me a soul sister… And that to me is the highest compliment. Thank you for the stroke darlin!
(Oh, and White Zinfandel is CRAP… You’re not a snob, you’re a rational person for turning your nose up at it.)
Debbie,
Thank you! I appreciate your generous praise. I love you too!
Judge Judy rocks! I agree totally. Keep ’em coming.
I don’t want a stroke. I don’t want to even be a blog you love. How about just a blog you like? Don’t you like me, Debbie? 😛
Debbie:
Thank you for the stroke for Joey Porter’s Pit Bulls. We are honored, touched and thoroughly surprised. It made for an especially nice start for a Monday morning. I feel like a shaggy mutt receiving accolades and recognition at the Westminster Kennel Club Annual Dog Show. You are too kind. Thank you.
I will check out the blogs you mentioned as time permits. This is how I usually stumble across good blogs: links from other blogs. If they turn out to be half as interesting as yours, then it’ll be time well-spent. Keep up the good work!
