The Job of Being a Triathlete
The Job of Being aĀ Triathlete
Thank goodness for Facebook or else I would have never known that my high school friend, Armella Sammons (now Schroder), was competing in triathlons.
Then I thought, What the hell?Armieāas we fondly called herāwas a Lancette with me throughout high school. The heaviest objects her and me ever held above our heads were pom-poms. So, when I started seeing posts from her through Facebook about herā¦

Aw, Shit.
I was having a text conversation with my son yesterday asking him for some information. He said, āIāll give it to you after I take a shit.ā
I had a problem with that.
That sentence is always said out loud by people. I need to take a shit.
First off, you donāt take a shit. You leave a shit. If you take a shit, using the toilet becomes counter-productive because thatās where shit is supposed to goā¦

The Klopeks
My neighbors are theĀ Klopeks.
Maybe you have a āKlopekā type living in your neck of the woods. Maybeājust maybeāyouāre fortunate enough that they donāt live right next door.
I live in a very old neighborhood (circa 1900ās). The home we moved into was meticulously renovated, keeping in style with the townās vintage landscape.
Howeverā¦

I Have Ear Worm
And, there go my chances at becoming the next Mrs. America.
It states on the rules and regulations, page 28, sub-section sixteen titled, āHideous and Vile Personal Issues,ā Donald Trump specifically states that anyone who has ear worm is a disgusting individual and who shall not be allowed to enter the Mrs. America pageant.ā
You also canāt be an immigrant, Mexican, and wear a wig.
Yeah. So, itāsā¦

Peanut Butter & Jelly is Insulting
Racist Foods
I supposed they used the word, āracist,ā in their article, but I donāt want to go there.
This article started it.Ā The principal of the school noted that she decided that PB&J was racist to students of color. Since most of the children who attend her school are of a Mexican heritage, they are used to eating pitas, tortas, or other bread substitutes.
Okay. Iām not a brain surgeon, but why canātā¦

Advantages and Disadvantages of Having A Boy
I have one son, Matt. I have two step-sonās, Dave and Nick. They are all young adult men ranging from 22 ā 19.
Itās really not that bad, folks. But, thatās only because they donāt live with us.
I was fondly recalling Matt growing up the other day and thinking of a few things I donāt miss, and then a few things I donāt miss.
Let me explain.
Iām glad I had a boy rather than a girl because myā¦

The Hog
Well, this escalated quickly.
My husband, Dave, got an opportunity for some free training. Whenever there is the word, āfreeā involved, he doesnāt pass it up.
The Army was offering some free motorcycle training through Harley Davidson. Dave used to ride several years ago, but let his license expire. He said, āItās a four day class, and then I can take my test and get a bike whenever somethingā¦

Really, Tampa? Quit Acting Like Children And Play Like Men
Forget about Caitlyn Jenner for a moment.
The Chicago Blackhawks are in the Stanley Cup Finals for the second time in three years. Yes, Iām a proud Blackhawk fan. Yes, Iām from Chicago.
Yes, the Mad Houseāas we proudly call itāallows the opposing teamsā fans to enter the stadium; yell and scream for their team while potential fist fights and banging on glass walls happen.
Oddly enough, Tampaā¦

Another Round of Words We Loathe and Love
Just like my previous posts about Words We Loathe and Love, the rules still apply.
My pad of paper has gotten full again with differentĀ words. The sound of the wordānot necessarily the meaningāthat either makes me smile with satisfaction since itĀ rolls off my tongue like a foreign language, or it makes me smirk and slightly regurgitate.
As usual, our list of words we loathe outnumbered the wordsā¦

I'm Taking A Poll
Iām Taking AĀ Poll
This is short and simple. Iām debating on whether I should dig into my blogs, re-write them to evolve into short stories, and publish another book. My first book, Angry Birds And Beehive Hair,Ā did okay, but do you see me on a yacht sipping martiniās not far away from the island I just bought?
No.
So, Iām taking a poll to those who read my blog regularly. Do you want another book or not? A simpleā¦

It's Mother's Day. Who Cares?
Iām a mother.
I have one biological son who is almost 22.
I have two step-sons who are almost 19 and 21.
I have four German Shepherd dogs who range from ages four to one.
I hate Motherās Day.
This hatred was instilled in me at an early ageāthanks to my own motherāwho had specific requirements for this annual Hallmark holiday.
The day was spent having an elaborate brunch at the country club. Thisā¦

Three, Five, Seven Steps To Whatever
Why does everything need to be in numbers?
There are fifty ways to leave your lover, twelve steps to sobriety, numerous ways to kill someone and leave them in a farm field, andāof courseāthe ten commandments.
Iāve been noticing a lot of articles about seven steps toward success, five ways to get your website noticed, twenty must-haves (and I mean MUST HAVES) for any bridal shower, blah, blah,ā¦

Failing At Being A Dog
Those four numb-skulls you see above are my dogs: (From left: Otto, Gunther (theyāre brothers), Crusher and Lucy).
This will be a short post because the video will speak for itself.
Iām posting this because I laughed so hard at these short clips while others made me say out loud, āOH! SNAP!ā
Dogs love you unconditionally. They donāt care if they make fools of themselves; theyāre just beingā¦

Your Email Etiquette Can Kill
Who writes emails on a daily basis?
Raise your hand. You? You, too?
Good. At least I have two people to write this to.
There was a survey recently done with people ranging in ages from 18 ā 64Ā about how receiving an emailāeven from a perfect strangerācan ruin a first impression.
Hereās a few examples of what Iām talking about:
1. 78 percent of respondents said email etiquette had an impact onā¦

If itās that important, how come Iāve been waiting on the fucking phone for twenty minutes?
