True Confessions

Ok, so here it is... i'm a total geek, not to mention a bit of a hypocrite.  I'm sure I mentioned at some point that I emailed Jen Lancaster, funny author of the books I have been going on about, regarding one of her extremely, pee your pants, blogs that she wrote.  Honestly, right now I can't remember the topic however I know it was so funny that I could not stop laughing. Well, regardless of my "no beer blogging" rule, I emailed her to express my appreciation for her humour etc, etc.  And then promptly forgot I even emailed her. Well, the other day I was a working away and heard my blackberry a buzzin. Opened the desk drawer, pulled out the magical device and what? I got an email from Jen Lancaster? Weird. How did she find me? I thought for a brief moment that one of my pals must have sent my blog to her. Oh wow.  I had a moment of "holy crap" and then I read the reply (of course at this point I had still completely forgotten that I emailed her) and read: " So glad you like my work! Thanks for writing. Jen" Huh. Put Blackberry back in purse and thought about it for a few minutes. Ummmm, is this the email equivalent of a form letter? Seriously, she did sign it: Jen. Does that mean she is open to further communication? Oh I am such a geek. Is there a Geek Award? I spent the rest of the day wondering what possessed me to write to a book author however, I must confess, I still have not deleted the email from my Blackberry. Whatever. If you need a good chuckle - here is a link to her blog: http://www.jennsylvania.com/

Delirium Revisited

I understand that the life and times of sarcasm have all but fallen off the map. I apologize to those of you who have sent me stories and are patiently waiting for me to "edit" and post your unbelievable circumstances . I've been busy.  Ha, if you believe that lie then you be fooled bitches! Apart from being sucked into the train wreck I will call "Housewives Gate" I don't know what the hell happened. My only excuse is that I have been reading like a crazy fool and enjoying the company of friends and neighbours. Over the next couple of days I promise to post your stories. Really I do. (To be honest, sometimes I spend a great deal of time just changing the background of my blog to something that entertains me and then I find I have done nothing more with my time! Bit of a Formatting Junkie - yes that's me.)

Back to reality. I'm sure you are all wondering if I successfully evened out the "white bits".  Umm, how about we just say that about 15 sessions in I was lying there chillin, listening to the music in the bright lights and I suddenly thought "What the hell am I doing?" If this sucker is not burning fat cells and I can't read in here then I am completely wasting my time. After all that time I don't even resemble a berry picker or a construction worker. Nada. I gave up. I got better shit to do.

You will all be proud to know that I have successfully refrained from emailing any mayors or city officials about any complaints and I have managed to, for the most part, keep my opinions to myself. Maturity - no?

In the meantime I have learned even more life lessons (just when is that shit going to stop?).  One of the most important is that it is a good friend who is there by your side when times are rough, but a better friend who unselfishly recognizes that one needs help, without even asking.  Its never the wrong time to be there for a friend.  Never.
