Classy!

OK so, I was checking my stats and apparently this site comes up on the search of "Public Blow Jobs Tampa Area" um... the blow job is a shot, DRINK!!! Made with Bailey's Kahlua and something else I think with whipped cream on top.  So for those of you who are curious.  I don't give blow jobs in public.

Okay so on the way home tonight, I took the top off of my jeep which was just so wonderful.  I was heading over the Howard Frankland Bridge which I usually avoid, but it was after 7pm so I knew it would be okay.  Anyway I was following a man in a white Toyota Corolla, who seemed to be drinking a bag of chips, while picking his nose... and breaking into a slim jim!  I can't imagine what his mouth tasted like.  All he needed was to add some olive juice and it would be one hell of a gross martini. Bleck... after wards, I was on Gibsonton Road.... I'll explain more about Gibsonton later, but there was an old man riding his bike with a rifle across his handlebars.  That's what I guess is a poor man's gun rack?  I could write a book on the weird things I see on my commute. 

I decided to take Friday off so I can have  a 4 day weekend.  I need a rest, really really bad!  I am going to Beeler's house on Saturday night for a party.  The new girl at work was invited, I hope she shows up, she is soo funny and cool. 

Take care

Greetings from a non-poster!

So I haven't posted in over a week, and I should be ashamed of myself, I know.  I was so tired all week that the last thing I wanted to do when I got home was post.  Plus I didn't really have anything post worthy.  Here are a few of the high notes of the past week.

#1.  I perfected my rum runner recipe.  It took a lot of painstaking work but here is the formula I am sticking with.

1 1/4 oz of light rum (I use Bacardi)
3/4 oz of Creme De Banana
3/4 oz Blackberry Brandy
1 1/4 oz of Pineapple Juice
1 1/4 oz of Orange Juice
1 oz of sour mix
1/4 oz of grenadine (who knew this was so important)

take all these ingredients and shake them all together, with ice.  Find your favorite glass (they taste better in a glass) pour concoction into the glass,

then add 1 oz of Myers Dark Rum (this is the most important)

~ for the wilder drinker, add a shot of Bacardi 151 to the straw.  I don't do that anymore because I think it burned a hole in my gullet when I ordered a Rum Runner at a bar I went to one night, and they did that and didn't tell me. 

Also this week I saw the nastiest/funniest/grossest/classiest bumper sticker ever.  But before I share the actual bumper sticker let me first say that I am living in a newly developing area.  Before all of the building started out here, hardly anyone lived out this way.  So... the bumper sticker said "If it smells like fish, Eat it!"  Classy eh?
Here is a picture of the truck the sticker was on, sadly you can't actually READ the bumper sticker. 

So last night, I went out with some friends to a cooking class.  Publix is the most popular supermarket in the area and they have a cooking school called "Aprons" this is the class we attended.  It was so much fun.  You don't know what you are eating until everyone in the class agrees on something.  Last night it was:

Spinach Salad with Seared Scallops and bacon/cranberry dressing with pine nuts and Gorgonzola cheese

Chicken/Veal Rollades (not sure if that's the correct spelling)
these had a Sun dried tomato, mushroom, and asiago cheese filling topped with a fontina basil pesto sauce.

Orzo Primavera, with purple onions, asparagus, and red pepper

And for dessert, Molten Chocolate Cake.

The coolest thing was that the class got together and actually MADE these items.

I worked on the scallops, breading them as well as searing them, I also chopped basil, separated eggs for the molten chocolate cake.  Plus watching them pound the chicken and veal to make the rolls.  You get all the wine you can drink as well.  For 40 bucks a person.  Not bad, the meal was deeelish and I got to take knowledge with me.  WONDERFUL!

Today I get to play the catch up on laundry game, as well as help the Mr. get our bar in order, we got the counter top and the wine glass cabinet in yesterday.  When it's finished I'll make sure to take some pictures of it. 

Anyway that's all for now. 
have a good Sunday and a great week.

Working from Home!

Hey everyone! I am working from home today, yes I am actually working. I just decided to post real quick to say hi to everyone.

We had our 1 year home walk thru, and there were a couple of issues to take care of that were still under warranty. So today is MY day to be here for the plumbers. I hope when the plumber gets here he asks "Hey did someone call a plumber?" and has a porn mustache.... wouldn't that be FUNNY?

At least it saves me a 100 mile commute today, and perhaps I'll get to go until Saturday without needing more gas, that would be a gass!

Today is officially 2 months of being married, and I have to say that I couldn't be happier. The Mr and I are having such a great time together. I am sooo very lucky.

My dad got a job, I know I didn't tell the story so here it is in brief:

My parents decided to move from my hometown in NW Florida back to Mississippi because my mom is from there. My uncle, mom's sister's husband offered my dad a job. My dad really enjoyed doing the job as a construction project manager. My dad is now almost 65 and just really needs to work, he has worked every day of his life since he was 8 and couldn't stop if he wanted to. When he is bored, he gets a migraine. Anyway due to gross mismanagement of the company my uncle had to lay off my dad. My dad really still wanted to work in that industry, so he found a job.. got the offer yesterday and is starting on Monday. The drawback to the job is that for the first 3 weeks he is in New Orleans (that ROCKS) and for 6 months he is in Panama City Fla. They set him up with a place to stay and all, so my mom could drive over and visit, but he's worried about his lawn in Mississippi (ya he's an oddball but we love him)

Either way, my mom and dad are happy. My dad especially, he was feeling bad that no one wanted such an old man, but someone did... he's one of the hardest working people that I have ever met, and he is an absolutely LOYAL employee. They sure made a good decision to pick him.

Anyway, enough rambling for today... since I'm playing on the wild side and posting on a THURSDAY and before NOON!

Take care, and have a fabulous DAY

Lucy

Ugh and it starts all over again.

Man, it just kills me that it's already 9:00 on Sunday night.  I don't know about y'all but I am really ready for a 3 day weekend.  Yesterday we didn't do too much, just went for lunch and went to the grocery store, I did laundry, and we had sushi for dinner.  Our Publix makes this veggie avocado roll that is seriously to die for.  I must have more.  I also had salmon and tuna rolls.  I couldn't eat them all so I fed the salmon and tuna to the kitties, and boy were they ever HAPPY! 

Today, I called my mom of course, even though she called me yesterday.  Then we went to lunch at the little beach club place a few miles from us.  It was a lovely day, I drank a rum runner and ate at their HUGE buffet.  This buffet had a Caesar salad station, Asian station, other salad and soup bar, the meat bar, and the dessert bar.  I didn't go to the meat bar, and the Caesar salad station was my favorite... the guy making the salad gave me EXTRA anchovies, YUM!  We sat there and listened to the cheesy band playing Jimmy Buffet tunes, and watched the water, it was so relaxing.  I just wish I had another day this weekend.

Today I made the Mr hook up the TV in my "reading" room and hook up the VCR&DVD player in there too, so I could do my pilates and yoga tapes in full privacy.  So, I just got finished with the pilates with the big blow up ball thing.  It wasn't easy, and I shall be sore.  Either way I didn't have the heart NOT to try it after all of the work he did for me. 

Anyway, Happy mother's day to all the moms out there, it's the hardest job in the world and each and every one of y'all deserved a wonderful day.  Take care

Yay for Saturday!

Happy Saturday everyone!

It is sunny and warm here in Florida today.  Thursday I had taken the top off the Jeep because I had seen a glimmer of sunshine, and I wanted to take full advantage of it.  Yesterday morning it was cloudy and very rainy.  So, I had to put the top back on.  Then yesterday afternoon it was beyond gorgeous so I took the top off again, I am getting really good at it.  It was the kind of day with blue skies and white puffy clouds and about 75°.  I left work at around 4:45 and sat at Starbucks with a pal and chatted while the traffic decreased.  It was lovely truly lovely.

I don't know what we are doing this weekend, I think the Mr wanted to go to Lakeland for the Mayfair, but I am not too sure I want to go to Lakeland.  I know I have laundry and other things to do, ugh... decisions decisions.  I know that I have to do calligraphy on a friend's wedding invitations but I am only going to do a few at the time, so that I don't make too many mistakes. 

I know I'll spend a lot of time with the weekend meet and greet thanks to Michele.  In fact I think I'll start now. 

Have a great weekend everyone.

Update:  I am sooo happy, the Mr. got up EARLY this morning, to get his car worked on, he got there at 7:00am (on a Saturday gooood grief) then he walked over to Denny's bought himself a newspaper, ate some sort of giant meat skilletey thing drank himself some coffee and relaxed until his car was ready.  He had such a good morning, just some time to himself.  He came home grinning from ear to ear, I love it when he has such a happy relaxing morning like that.  He's just the best :)

Happy Cinco De Mayo 05-05-05

Hey gang!

It's so cool that it's 05-05-05, we won't see that again for 100 years.  God knows I hope I am not still kickin' 133 years old, CRIKEY!

So, here's a funny lil' nugget.  My boy cat Teddy, is just the cutest thing around, seriously.... he's sooo creative and naughty, and creative.  This morning the Mr found him standing up by the toilet splashing his hands in it .  Just splish splashing in the toilet like he didn't have a care in the world.  After he'd splash, he'd inspect his paws... and then  clean them.. yuck.  Thankfully the people in the family flush after every use.  I just think it's sooo funny that he is so enamored by the toilet water.  Try and bathe that boy and he's a basket case.  Cats are just such wonderful little furry people.  I mean Ted is a doofus most of the time, but he's really like a little person with fur, always chirping and chatting, so is Maggie.  They have so much to say all the time.  I don't think I could live with out cats in my life, and this is from a dog lover. 

Anyway, I hope that everyone had a great Cinco De Mayo.  I hung out with friends at the best Mexican Restaurant in Pinellas county.  Drank a couple of top shelf margaritas.  Great conversation and great drink.... can you beat that?

Take care everyone,

Lucy!

I'm not sorry for.....

Hi everyone,

I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend.  Mine was good, we spent yesterday cleaning the house because a couple of friends were coming over for dinner.  I was cleaning, multitasking of course and I flooded my kitchen with bleach water.  The Mr. wasn't pleased, but hell we have sanitized cabinets, probably the cleanest cabinets and silverware drawer in the county.  Ugh.

The small dinner party was a success.  I made whole wheat pasta and a new sauce that I got off of the Goosecross Winery website.  It  was spectacular.  It had diced tomatoes, onions, garlic, Goosecross' Amerital (red wine) Vodka, cream cheese, red and yellow peppers and other spices.  I was VERY surprised at just how good it was. Our guests enjoyed it as well.  Plus I had sauteed eggplant, squash and zucchini.  YUM.  The evening was full of laughs and merriment, just the way it should be.

I have to say that I started this blog/journal for 2 reasons.  One of which was to work on my writing skills which I am MOST certainly lacking, and the other reason was to help me work out my thoughts and feelings.  I have been under a lot of stress for a little over 2 years with living part time in St. Pete, the other in Lakeland, working in Clearwater, selling my condo, building and buying a brand new house south of Tampa, to planning a wedding.  I wasn't dealing well with my stress and it took a toll on me.  I would snap at the dumbest little things, and I wasn't always 100% on the rational side.  Oh yea let's not forget dealing with a cancer scare, surgery, and hormones.  So I needed a place to vent my frustrations, and come to terms with things that were bothering me in my life.  Things that maybe I should make a federal case about to friends, but wanted to kind of work it out on my own instead my own form of therapy.  I do consider this my diary.

When I read others posts, I might not like and or agree with what they have written but I believe that it's everyone's right to write what they want and if I have a problem with it, I just stop reading, it's certainly not my place to hold someones personal thoughts and feelings against them. 

With that said, my post "no posties" has officially been held against me.  I was basically bitched out for not sharing my feelings directly with the person whom I wrote about.  I then was blasted for airing her life on the Internet.  Both of which I refuse to apologize for.  I feel if you read someones diary and you don't like what they have to say, tough.  That post is not slanderous, malicious, or fictitious and with the issues said person has I didn't think it that big of a deal to add to her list of growing drama.  I was simply working out some feelings I had.  It's my little space in the world, and I shouldn't have my personal thoughts and feelings held against me.  One thing is for sure though, I was 100% correct, in knowing that yes indeed I am in the line of fire, if it wouldn't have been this she would have found something else to blame me for.  I will not be censored for any purpose seeing that most of that post was me explaining the bad thing I did, I had a right to feel the way I did, and to write about it.  I don't use real names on this site, I don't give addresses and phone numbers and very few friends of mine actually have this link. Furthermore NO ONE CARES! Ya that is harsh but honestly do any of y'all really care? 

She has put our friendship on the line, and I refuse to be bullied into thinking that what I did was wrong.  I have been a great friend to her, and she will miss my support, but it is entirely her loss.  I will not be censored just because I told the truth, which ended up being more true that I really wanted it to be.  I am at peace with what happened, and don't regret a word.  I even re-read the post just to make sure I wasn't out of line, and I wasn't.  I wish her the best. 

So, ya... long post full of feelings etc... which is quite OKAY because that's why I started this blog in the first place.
