Embarrassing Moment Brought To You By Seagrams Wine Coolers… July 16, 2008

My Dad always warned my sister and myself about preserving our reputations and how it’s all we have and blah blah blah…like I really listened. I was young. Reputation…what reputation?!

So, I went through a small…tiny…itty bitty, promiscuous phase. We’re talking…microscopic (HI MOM!!). And…I slept with this guy. It was a whim maneuver. Summer. Wine coolers. Heavy make-out session. You know the drill. One thing led to another and…he lost his virginity to me. I didn’t even know he was a virgin until after…which was a full 5 seconds later!

Fast forward a year later. We started dating. And just to redeem myself from the slut behavior that I had exhibited the previous summer…I wouldn’t sleep with him. Yay me! But…he was still interested in me. But I found him somewhat boring so…that ended that!

Now fast forward again…if you aren’t too dizzy…to today…

I take my son into his preschool camp. Walk him down the hall to his class.

And there he is.

That dude that had relinquished his virginity to me…gratefully, I’m sure.

That guy…who just didn’t do it for me back then.

And…

He’s so good looking now. Not that he wasn’t before but…age has done wonders!

And so obviously successful…which is an attractive trait to, might I add!

And…

I was so embarrassed to see him that I avoided all eye contact…and verbal exchange, for that matter. Yes, I was UNFRIENDLY! Wouldn’t even look at him!

I ran out of my son’s room…who, by the way…loves this guys kids and wants a…gasp…play date with him!

I ran to my car…which was parked right by his…

And, I drove as fast as I could, away from there.

The whole time I was thinking to myself…my Dad was right. Not about the reputation part. Because, quite frankly, I’m 39…let them talk!! But…he used to always say that you don’t want to be THAT girl in a room, where everyones husband or boyfriend…had slept with. NO…my preschool Mommy friends…I did NOT sleep with ANY of your husbands. And really, I was NEVER that big of a sleep around kind of girl…I just made out with everyone…NOT YOUR HUSBANDS though!!

But now I know what he meant. It was a yucky feeling. Really. Uncomfortable. And that was just from ONE guy!

I’m so glad that, on the most part, during my small, tiny, itty bitty…microscopic…promiscuous time…it was mostly with guys that didn’t live in the same area as I do.

THAT…was a smart move!! Advice that I didn’t get from my Dad. Which, can you imagine…a father saying to his daughter…if you want to sleep around, in a small, tiny, itty bitty, microscopic manner…make sure you do it with guys from the other side of town!? HAH!

I won’t be telling MY daughters THAT little trick!!

Maybe he won’t be dropping his kid off anymore…because I…FOR SURE…did NOT sleep with his wife…or any other women for that matter!!

XOXO

Trivial Tuesday and Other Random Regurgatations… July 16, 2008

So much stuff goes on on a daily basis.  But, none of it is really an entire blog post worthy.  So, I’ve stored it all up and for your reading enjoyment…I’m giving it to you in one dose.   Grab some super strong coffee for stay awake purposes…because, there is a reason why none of this stuff I’m about to share made it to its own post!!

The last 3 1/2 weeks, the girls have been away at camp.  And…the laundry…hasn’t been as crazy!  It’s been…AWESOME.  But…they are coming back on Friday.  Though I’ve missed them…they will be bringing home 2 huge duffel bags each…full of filthy, dirty clothes, sand, cockroaches and other various grossness.  And the laundry.  Will double. On a daily basis… Sigh…

Remember me mentioning my one son who refused to go to any sort of camp?  Well, do you?  Huh?…OK…so, I made him go to day camp called Sports and Adventure.  He loved it so much that I signed him up for a second session…good thing it’s cheap!!  Anyway…you know what he really wanted to do?  He wanted to WORK at the camp my youngest son goes to.  He loves little kids.  And he thought it would be really fun to hang out with them all day.  How cute is that?  But, seeing that he is only 12…he has a couple of more years where he is still a camper.

My newest coffee addiction…THANKS A LOT BETH…is Dunkin Donuts Iced Coffee with Toasted Almond flavoring.  Um…YUMMY!!!

Delilah…that kitten that I am hand raising…is doing awesome!!  Except, she is peeing everywhere.  So, if you come over my house…please excuse the cat piss smell…that seems to be a permanent scent.  Going to have to invest in Glade Plug-Ins.

I realized that I think I have some serious ADD issues.  I stop and start new ideas like crazy.  Annoying.  I think I need some meds.   I’m going to try my step-sons ADHD meds…maybe I’ll finally be able to drop those pesky 10 pounds…oh yeah…and be able to concentrate long enough to complete a thought!!

Speaking of ADD and addiction…

I’m addicted to making crochet purses.  Remember when I was telling you guys about teaching myself to crochet?  Well…I’ve mastered it.   And…I’ve been making purses like a madwomen.  I think…about it sometimes…I’m going to open an Etsy store, and try to sell them.  They’re this seasons must haves.  Cute stuff.  Thursday I’ll post pictures of them…a kind of fashion show preview…before they hit the runways!!

The pinched nerve in my neck…the one I was dying from in December…is back.  But good news…the one in my elbow is gone.  You can’t win them all, right?

OH YEAH…DUH!!  I can’t believe I forgot to mention…

I’m a dancer again!!  Well…maybe you didn’t know that I used to be a ballerina…of the non-professional kind.  I took ballet for 15 years or so, back in my younger years…and it was my life.  I lived and breathed ballet.  But when I hit my senior year in high school…and early college…I became more sporadic. And then, I did something really stupid…I dropped out completely.

But I started dancing again.  And…I committed to it.  I used MY OWN money…my hard earned, sitting in front of the computer for my dad money…and paid for two dance classes!!  I’m taking Jazz on Tuesdays.  And…Hip Hop on Thursdays.  And starting in the Fall…I’m taking ballet again!!!  I’m SO excited.  Part of the air that I breathe…it has come back!!!

So, that’s all for now.  I probably should go brush my teeth and wake the kids up to get ready for camp.  Or…I could wake them up with my grotesque morning breath…

Anyway…I have to get ready to go to court to try to get the ex to pay some child support!!  THAT is going to be an entire post…later!!

XOXO…have a wonderful day!!
