THINK THE GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN IS BAD?

It's nothing to the mess that Samantha got herself into, in this final episode of 

Season Two's "Dating In The Middle Ages."

Bird Watchers, Vultures and Bees, Oh My!

In this Laugh Out Loud finale episode of the comedy Soap Opera

"Dating In The Middle Ages," 

Samantha finally goes on the date with Steve (the bird man) only to wish she hadn't. 

From traipsing over hill and dale (in heels) to crawling on all fours (in a dress) this date isn't at all what she signed up for.

And just wait till you see how it ends!

WEEKENDS ARE FOR WARRIORS

If I was like my Kitty, who's life is eating, drinking, pooping, sleeping, and more sleeping, I'd wouldn't care about the weekends so much.  Every day would just kind of roll into the next.  Maybe I'd eat more one day, sleep more the next, vomit up a hair ball for excitement, etc.

But when you're single after a long relationship ends weekends can be looked upon with dread - starting from Friday Evening and working clear through Sunday after sunset.

My girlfriends who have been single for a long while say I'm a sissy.  Like them I need to get my "Nija on" and learn to enjoy the weekends like a warrior - keeping extremely busy so I have no time to think.  They say weekends are a time to get together with friends, family, do fun things, etc., but again, it's hard when those "get togethers" always included a partner.

So I've decided to come up with plan (at least for the next few months) to keep myself very busy on those days to turn them from the "dreaded three" into the "blissful triad."

Here's a list of a few activities that could keep me busy 
(Warning what follows can go from serious to completely absurd in 0 point 5 seconds)

Become a docent at the neighborhood museum on weekends. (Okay so I'm not 70, but I love art and could meet a creative guy, right.  Although this works for during the day mostly)
Help out at the public library (again works for during the day...)
Finish my great American Novel
People watch at the nearest mall
Movie marathon weekend
Movie marathon weekend with girlfriends
Movie marathon weekend at the theater (could take care of Friday night and Saturday night, but can be expensive)
Get a job working Friday and Saturday nights (What?  I must be losing it!)
Enroll in a weekend class - maybe learn to cook Greek food or make Sushi?
I could take up Fencing or the Tango?  There has to be a Saturday Class somewhere...
Or an online decorating course?
Work out so hard Friday Night that it takes most of Saturday to recover (that would leave only Sunday if I haven't pulled something) 
Sleep all weekend like my cat.

Hurray for me!  The new weekend Warrior!
(Uh, I think I need a little help...suggestions from all of you would be greatly appreciated!)

GETTING NAKED AGAIN

I really wish I could take credit for that title...isn't it great?  Actually it's the name of a book I'm reading right now about getting back out there on the dating scene after leaving a marriage (or being left from a marriage) after many years, or after becoming a widow. 
And I must say I find the info quite helpful...
Okay, so I'm not ready to do it, but I might be next week (or most likely next year).  And honestly after being married for fifteen years and suddenly single, I'm a little terrified of showing my middle-aged (albeit fit) body to anyone.  Right now can't imagine it.  But this book is showing me that it is possible, when I'm ready.  Jeeze, I'm just trying to find out who I really am after putting someone else's needs first for so many years.  Anyway, I'm enjoying the book and thought others might too.
Love and laughs...

LIVING IN HELL!

So it is hot as Satan's finger tips today in L.A...

Not that I'm complaining, but when you go from 60F to 100F in point 24 hours with no transitional weather in between it kind of puts everyone into a weird kind of funk, and people wander around asking, "How did we get from there to here so fast, and do I put the winter clothes away finally, or give it another week?" kind of conundrum.  

Even Shakespeare (my cat) and Marlowe (my dog) can't decide if they should sleep on the warm comfy blanket in their cat/doggy beds or cool cotton sheets on mine.

And when it's hot EVERYONE is out!  That's right.  If you think the freeways are bad on a regular day out here, just try getting through on a nice day - when everyone, including their mother, father, grandmother, grandfather, niece, nephew, and extended family of any kind feels the need to get on the road and DO SOMETHING for the halibut! fogetoboutit!

I do love sunny days, but not the ones where you literally get singed, and smell asphalt.  But hey all in all, I love L.A. and besides there are waaaaay more pressing issues then me burning up here.

BP Oil Spill anyone???

3.  You might want to wipe the shine from the
    top your head.

4.  What kind of car do you drive?

5.  How much money do you make?

What are the five worse things you can think of???
