The Scariest Part (Lulu)

Reading Zaad's post really made me stop and think....

It's time for a challenge question again since there are two members of this scary little clique who haven't posted anything in awhile.

We are definitely a unique group of girlz. We are all VERY different but for some reason we just work. We have pretty much all tried to bring someone to add to the girlz nite and let's face it....They come once AND NEVER RETURN!

So let's play a little game of tag in honor of spring sorta getting here.

I will post my reason as to why it never works...what makes the new-comers decide to be never-comers again...then i tag one of you and you have to give your reasons and tag the next person!

I thought about each one of us and quite frankly I think the scariest part about us is that we are BRUTALLY honest (ok some more than others lol!) It is very rare that you can find 1 person, let alone 3, who will tell you when you look like shit, your acting stupid, or quite frankly when ya just need to get your act together and shape up! We have all had to say it to each other at some point in our friendship and yet here we are...still friends. We each know that it is not being said out of nastiness but out of love. It would have to be very overwhelming to someone new to walk into the middle of what we all have. Let's face it...when we are together we tend to censor ourselves less and a newcomer would just be shocked at what comes out of our mouths sometimes!

Ok Tink...TAG YOUR IT! (and btw...you cannot just say your scary cuz you hate people lol!)
I picked you because technically you were the new comer once but yet you are the only person strong enough to survive and helped to create the girlz club!

Have Mercy, My Friends (Zaad)

OK so this is funny.

I walked into Amy's office this morning and she was on her cell phone with her husband. She stopped to talk to me and asked: "Did you officially accept the job offer?" [kind of excitedly, which I was all offended by, btw, 'cuz obviously aren't I so important as to at least warrant a sad face??]

• "Yee-up."


• "Oh my God, so you're officially not my employee anymore! Did you ask the Girlz about girl night??"


• *chuckling unbelievably* "Yes, I did. I already have the request for clearance submitted. I'm letting them stew, come to terms, and then decide to be nice."

NOTE that I have to give my friends WEEKS of notice to absorb the shock of maybe, possibly putting up with an OUTSIDER for any length of time. Can anyone say *clique*? [*chuckling sadly* 'cuz I know how we all are...ok, kind of funny.]

• "OMIGOD! I'm so excited -" [turns to cell phone once again] "Honey! I'm gonna have friends!"


• "oh MY God, you have to calm down! You have no idea what you're trying to get yourself into. You're not even gonna last 2 weeks -"


• "I can do it! I swear!"


• "- Ok, but don't say I didn't warn you. I'll let you know as soon as they decide."


• [cheesy fricken grin] "Ok! I can't wait!"

It's like I'm in the Twilight Zone or something. Has she even HEARD me the last 2 years???? She thinks we look awesome enough to want to be WITH us? I tried to tell her before: "Dude, seriously, we'll eat you alive. We're sharks. You'll never come out alive and if you do, you'll never be the same.

And she says: "It sounds like so much fun!"

And I'm all like: "Do you even understand English, woman?"

So beware, I may be asking again on Friday. We can try and be nice to one outsider... at least for a night, right? Then she'll see how boring we actually are. But how scarily awesome we are at cards. And Bex, if this helps: think of it like a project. You looovvvve projects!

*sighing remorsefully and shutting laptop...*

What a Weekend! (Lulu)

• This has been one of the best weekends in such a long time!!


• Friday started with girl night (the earlier part of the day doesn't count as the weekend so we will skip all that) It was one of the best girl nights in such a long time! OMG I laughed so hard all night! From the Rie-man's hilarious comment about a certain person who he claims used to be a "hunk" (in case anyone's wondering the word he was referring to is "chunk") to Bex's hilarious comments! That girl was on a roll!! I think she topped us all with her snide remarks and come-backs...it was AWESOME!


• Saturday started with an awesome shopping trip with Bex! I am now officially a size 4!! Unfortunately most of my work clothes no longer fit so I had to get some new ones. The best was when we were walking out of the store and Bex says to Reese "I think I have created a monster!" to which he replies "What kind of monster?" Well duh! A shopping monster!!! After all that I then went Go-Kart racing!!!!!! I have always wanted to do that! And I am not referring to those slow ass amusement park Go-karts. Because I have never done this the guy said he had to brief me....here is how that went:


• guy: Ok so you have never done this...and your short...so make sure you tell the guys in there that you need a booster seat


• me: (as I grumble and my face turns red...really? A booster seat? Cant they come up with a better name!) yeah ok I got that...and do you happen to have a helmet any smaller?


• guy: um no mam', small is the smallest size we have. But for the rest of the briefing there are a couple things you need to know

1. If you hit a wall at 35 mph...it's gonna hurt like hell


2. If someone else hits you at 35mph it's gonna hurt like hell


3. Don't hit a wall or get hit cuz it will hurt like hell

• Now go have fun and don't forget to ask for your booster seat!


• Needless to say I did get hit, and it spun me into the wall, and it did NOT hurt...so thanks for scaring the crap out of me asshole! But it was soooooooooooooooo much fun! I actually did pretty good and held my own out there! I cannot wait to do it again!


• Then on Sunday Tink and I went and I got my belly button pierced!!! I have always wanted it done and Tink and I have talked about it for YEARS! So I decided it was my gift to myself for getting my own place. So I called Tink up and asked if she would go with! I LOVE it! And it really did not hurt as bad as everyone kept telling me it would! Thanks Tink for going with me!


• Then the icing on the cake is that my kids came home tonight! I miss them so much when they are gone to their dads. My day is complete when I can tuck them in at night (ok so maybe just my little gray hair since for some reason the big gray hair thinks he is too old at 17 lol)! What an awesome, event filled weekend!

Mean Girls Suck (Zaad)

Or: How Did I End Up Back In High School? Let me tell you something: I have never appreciated (or wanted to have near me) my friends like I did today. And I didn't even see you guys. This is a warning: I am about to start a rant. Today we went to TG's best friend's kid's birthday party. He turned 9 and oddly enough, despite having a complete BITCH for a mom, he's a nice kid. And I have tried, I mean, I have REALLY FUCKING TRIED to be this girl's friend, but it is not going to work out. At all. Let me start off by saying this about Todd's wife (and then I will get to why I want to kick her in the face, and so will you): first of all, she's hard to like. She just isn't very friendly. I have tried to tell myself that she's just not someone who opens up very quick. She also doesn't sleep with her husband. TG and I have heard them BOTH mention that they don't have a sex life anymore. AND she had, in the past, once asked her husband if they could have an *open* marriage. Ok, I have always thought she was shady, but she's MARRIED TO TG's BEST FRIEND. I have always also kinda felt like she has the hots for TG, but *oh no, that's ridiculous!* Yeah, whatever. The last time we saw them at TG's kids' party, she barely spoke to me. I asked TG if she had an issue with me and he assured me that she likes me and that's just how she is, blah, blah, blah.... So we walk into the party today at this stupid arcade and TG's ex-girlfriend is sitting with her. I didn't know who she was or anything until TG pulled me aside and said "I have to tell you, that's my ex-girlfriend. I didn't know she'd be here." I was pissed. I have no desire to sit for 2 hours with someone who used to fuck my boyfriend. At the very least, I should have been warned. Or given an option. Or been prepared. It's awkward. And to have it sprung on me felt, well, very yucky. When TG walked away, she outright asks me "So, are you pissed about Cindy being here?" And I said "Yes, I am. Why didn't you tell us?" and she said "Well you guys just have to get over it because TG is friends with Todd and I am friends with HER so deal with it." EXCUSE ME, BITCH?? It was an awesome 2 hours of awkwardly acting like everything was fine, despite every time that I walked away, those 2 would sit real close, whisper, look at me, and stop talking when I came back. Nice. I'm sorry, I thought I was in my 30s. Apparently I am in High School with MEAN GIRLS. I was so not pleased. All I wanted was my girlz. It was, and IS complete and utter bullshit. TG and I have enough on our plates without adding ex-girlfriend drama and weirdo craziness trying to stir up drama. It's completely uncalled for. And YES, I acted like I was fine. And I was VERY polite to them both. The entire time. But she, and her hots for my boyfriend, can SUCK MY ASS. She is a worthless piece of white trash (as opposed to the nice white trash that I am) and I actually called her a cunt to TG. Because she is. And I don't want anything to do with her. I can't even imagine Bex, Lulu, or Tink inviting one of my exes to a party and NOT warning me. It would just never happen. Despite all of our own drama, there are boundaries, people. BOUNDARIES.

Weird...but good (Lulu)

• Today was my first official weekend day in my new house...by myself. I moved out of my parents house when I was pregnant for my big gray hair. So I have basically never been on my own. Yeah I have had a day or two where the kids were at friends and the husband was on one of his many trips...


• ...but it is different when you know that this is how things are going to be. Every other week my babies go to their dads, and I am now in a house by myself. I woke up this morning...all on my own! No husband slamming shit around, no kids running around making all kinds of noise...ahhhhh peace and quiet.


• And then more quiet, and more quiet....


• OK the kids can come home now! I decided the silence is enough to drive me stir crazy! I have had noise in my life for so long that I actually couldn't handle the complete and utter silence! Pretty sad huh!?!?


• Needless to say it made for an emotional day. I spent a lot of time just thinking about where I am in life...there were moments of happiness and triumph for finally feeling like I have succeeded at something...then there were the moments where I looked around and thought "this is sooooo not where I thought I would be at my age" But I did manage to get a shit ton of unpacking done...it is amazing what you can accomplish when there aren't any kids around to interrupt the task at hand! It is definitely going to take some getting used to but all in all it is good. I am feeling stronger inside already.


• (Fyi Zaad...I did type this as different paragraphs but my internet sucks and for some reason no matter how many times I try to edit this it keeps posting it as one long paragraph! So I do not want to hear a single word about how it looks lol!)
