In sickness and health, eggshells and remotes!

Since getting married I discovered the many nuances that go along with marriage.
Maybe one night I want burgers and he wants pizza or I want to watch an "intriqueing" movie on Lifetime (The Man Hating Channel as he calls it) and he wants to watch some sporting event or another which is clearly the most boring thing on t.v.. But what I have definately noticed are the "silent arguements" we have on the regular:

1. Our very first argument wasn't about bills or sex....it was about a cast iron skillet. Yes, you understand me correctly! A cast iron skillet. Those of you who own one know you don't wash them at least not in a conventional way because you would take all the seasoning out of the pan. (If you are hoping for a household tip in this blog for "How to clean your cast iron skillet" you're in the wrong place. Ask that bitch Martha....but I digress) So anyway, the pan can get a little gnarly at times so I don't put it in the cabinet, I keep it on the stove top. Besides I think it adds a homey feel to the kitchen (which was previously decorated with all apples and made me want to vomit ON EVERYTHING!)  Whenever I was not in the kitchen he would put the skillet in the cabinet and when I would come out I would take it back out and put it in it's place on the stove. This went on until there was a rather HEATED conversation about where my skillet would take up residence. Can you guess where the skillet is right now? ;p (I think mostly because he's afraid he might get hit with it one day, or so he says!)

2. The next would be the pantry door. He will leave it hanging open all day long whereas I don't understand what the big deal is with closing it after you are finished. Within the first month of living here I got so annoyed on a Saturday morning that I slammed the pantry door and the clock hanging above it fell to the floor and shattered. When he asked what happened I said it must have not been hung very well......that damn clock was fine he just pissed me off!!

3. The next is probably what makes me want to lose my shit the most.....the remote control....and no, not because he won't let me have it! We can be watching ANYTHING it doesn't matter what the hell it is if he has a bit of theory to add to a news report, a story to tell about a small history fact, or a story he has repeated to me at least 7 times he will press "pause" on the Direct t.v. live stream to tell me. I can be totally in to a show and he will do this. I let this go on for a while before I finally said, "Is it entirely necessary for you to stop the show every time you want to tell me something?" His answer is always the same, "Well, I didn't want to be rude and try to talk over the show." more like he wanted to make sure I was ONLY listening to him.

4. Next we have his abnormal attraction to large amounts of pepper. It must go on everything, even MY food.

5.And finally, we have the egg shells. Whenever he cooks eggs he will crack the egg and then replace the empty shells back into the carton! When I asked him what he was doing he said, "Doesn't everyone do it that way?", I said, "No, normal people THROW THEM AWAY BECAUSE THEY ARE GARBAGE!" He looked at me like I was from another planet, I swear to God!  Who does that? Oh wait...ONLY MY HUSBAND!!! lol

His quirks may drive me up the wall but he would walk the ends of the earth for me and I kissed a lot of toads to find this man and I love him dearly!!!

(DAMN IT!! I knew he  was taking away my sarcasm!!)

"Hello and Thank you for calling...."

So, Cats and Kittens in an attempt to get back in touch with  good writing habits I'm trying to kick the blog back into gear.
I thought that perhaps getting married had made me boring and I had run out of things to write about, but my husband has assured me I am anything but boring ( mostly because I still have a red hot temper and mouth that I censor for no one!!)
So, I thought I would start with the job I have had for the last 4 months. Per the usual I can't give specifics but rather a string of rather non-specific sarcasm.
I am once again working in a call center environment this time involving sales which is not really my forte, but I digress!
Here are a few situations I come across on the daily which drive me up the wall:
1.Old women, let's say over the age of 70, who believe there is any product out there that will make them look younger. There is no fountain of youth and nothing is going to keep you from looking like Old Man River's wife! Give up and die, you already have one foot in the grave!!
2.People who order shit they can't afford when you knew you couldn't afford it in the first damn place and then you call and want to blame me for your irresponsible, 2am, "infomercial" shopping. Listen, I understand what it's like to get dumped, but seriously there is not one thing out there that will make that bastard come crawling back because chances are he already crawled up under one of your better looking friends.
3.People who call in and actually think cussin me out will get them somewhere. It gets you nothing but recorded sounding like a nut job high on crack cocaine. (which I am convinced has also happened) What you don't realize is I'm putting you on mute and cussin you out too! Thanks for calling!
4.Kids who use their parents credit cards. Listen folks, I don't have kids for a reason so don't blame me for YOUR lack of parenting skills. Had I ever pulled that I would have gotten my ass kicked into the middle of next week and then beat again on Thursday!!!
5. One of my all time biggest irritations is, "I can't talk I'm at work." YOU CALLED ME ASSHOLE!! Here's a thought don't call while you're at work.
6. Number 5 is closely followed by this: People chewing in my ear! Can you not wait at least 3 minutes until you are done cussing me out for your child's poor choices before you take a bite of that sandwich?? Really, I'm not asking for much here!
7.Here's an all time favorite: Crying on the phone to get out of a bill. I created that move. Good luck with that!
8.I also thoroughly enjoy being threatened by a faceless individual I never have and never will meet. That really holds a lot of weight with me. Trust me I'm laughing at you on the other end, mostly because you're an idiot.
9.I can tell when you're lying. When you change your story multiple times in a 60 second span trust me I know what's up and it's generally not the caller's IQ.
10. Finally, and I apologize in advance to my foreign readers however, folks that call in with thick accents and can barely speak English and then wonder why they don't understand what's going on......Seriously!!! And that's all I'm going to say about that!
With all that said as I have said before it is a job which is more than a lot of people have these days, but it does provide these to bitch about which as most of you know IS my FORTE!! ; )

Bullshit you should never have to endure at airports!!!!

I know it's been a while since my last post. I guess that's what happens when you fall in love, you have less to bitch about. But leave it up to me to find SOMETHING out there.....
During my travels the last several days these are the things I noticed that maybe should be posted  in airports along with the regulations on bags and boarding!
1. The WORST smell in the world......CURRY!!! I can't say this enough. The silver lining in the seats being next to the bathroom on the last flight home was that they were FAR from the curry smell.
2.Middle aged men in skinny jeans. Especially when those jeans are of a strange color such as teal. It's bad enough boy bands still exist.....
3.People having arguments on their cell phone with their significant others while they are waiting at their gate. We're all stressed out enough, I could give a shit about your stress and don't really wanna hear about how, "she's just not listening to you!" STFU!!!
4. Foreigners who refuse to speak English but try to communicate with you via the international language of knowing looks (or laughs) such as in situations above.
5.People reading over your shoulder. Can I F'n help you??
6.Strange smells that CAN NOT be identified.
7.The stewardess who feels it is her "option" to serve you! (the term stewardess was used here versus flight attendant because it is my OPTION to be politically correct since it was hers to do her job. kthx)
8.Parents who allow their children to run around at the gates like wild animals. Enough said.
9. Further more, a parent who allows their child to walk around the airport with a split in the ass of their pants and no diaper on! (Yea, it happened! Keepin it classy in Detroit!)
10. The worldly woman who really believes that hat really COMPLETES her traveling outfit. (none of the outfit matched in the first damn place!)
11.  Men who adjust their junk in public. Do I need to explain anymore here?
12. Women who don't shave their legs but INSIST on wearing skirts and dresses. We aren't in Europe and that shit ain't sexy. Pick up a razor!!!
13. People feeding each other. Why? At terminals. Why?
This blog is dedicated to all my cousins...keepin it real all over the country!! Miss you already!!!

You might be a douche bag if....

I've begun to wonder as of late if some men actually realize what douche bags they really might be. How do you get up in the morning and look at yourself in the mirror and not realize that you could very well be a douche bag? Until recently, I was a douche bag magnet. And I never realized there are several levels of douche bag-dom.
Some of which I have compiled here as a helpful guide. Whether you think you are dating a possible douche bag or struggling to determine if you, yourself are a d-bag, this might help!


  1.The Douche bag may be strutting around with a "popped collar". Just like a proud Peacock. Don't be proud, you look like an idiot! That shit went out with Don Johnson!


  2.He wears his hat to the side. You look like you are 12. If this was the look you were going for then you have succeeded!! However, most grown, intelligent, attractive women don't find 12 year old boys attractive. There's a word if they do and they belong in prison.


  3.The guy who takes off his sunglasses casually places them in his mouth and then winks at you. I can't even talk about this anymore because it makes me want to vomit on myself.


  4.The douche bag who MUST at all times wear 1 or more pieces of clothing displaying his fraternity. If you graduated more than 5 years ago let it go and move on, no one gives a shit! Alpha Gamma Delta your ass on out of here!!kthx!


  5.In a group no matter how big or small HE is the only one talking and laughing at his own conversation!


  6.The newest and nastiest kind of douche bag is the one who rates women and makes it publicly known with graphs, charts, scoring systems, "x"'s. How about this...all of you line up and drop your pants and us ladies will rate you and see where YOU end up!!!

"Life boat for one, Please!"

It occurred to me tonight how dating and surviving the sinking of the Titanic might be alike......
Now, before I go any further let me provide this evening's disclaimer: Someone, somewhere is going to say, "That's just awful! People died!" Yea, I know! People die every damn day and that's awful too! So, don't email me saying things like, "My Father's Great Uncle's Niece on his Great Grandmother's side who used to attend church of the Pastor whose mother died with the ship." Like I'm always saying, I don't care!!
Anyway-
Being single is like being in a life boat AFTER the Titanic has already gone down. Except everyone has their own little life boat and we're all just out there floating around. Occasionally, you will come along another survivor treading water. As you pull your little dingy along side them you offer them a spot with you BUT only if they fit certain criteria. Age, weight, hair color, eye color, children/no children, fiscal responsibility, likes, dislikes, political views, favorite foods, 401k, hobbies. And then it happens.......as you are conducting your dingy side interview they give a wrong answer. You pull out your bullhorn and scream,"SWIM AWAY FROM THE LIFE BOAT, SIR" because somehow as the ship went down you managed to find one and grab it for safe keeping! (Yea, I know there weren't actually bullhorns on the Titanic, but there were in this scenario! Don't email me with that one either!) Maybe it wasn't a wrong answer per say, but it's not enough to earn them a dry spot on your boat. For instance, with me in particular, I find it a good thing when a suitor (that's just a funny word to me) takes an interest in my interests or what I do. The last guy I had an interest in said, "No, I don't read your blog. I hate reading." O.o
KEEP ON SWIMMIN MUTHA F*&%$ !!!! Try the chic in the boat behind me!!! Damn, it's lonely out in the ocean!!!!

Who hired the Pied Piper!!

Just when I thought my well of experience had run dry along came another topic that I had something to say about. Imagine that!
As most of you know I was (yes that's WAS!! I just got a regular job and resigned) working a graveyard shift job. Not glamorous by any stretch of the imagination. Or clean. Or fun. Or anything that any human being alive should be doing. But I digress. As described previously, "The Grave" as I like to call it, caters to a certain clientele. Not the cute kind. But, occasionally, a good looking one will venture in and wander around for a bit.
And so it was on one particular night not too long ago, when a rather handsome muscular and unusually young man (for the place I was working) came swaggering in at the wee hours of the morn covered in full sleeves. (That's tattoos covering both arms COMPLETELY for those of you not in the know.)
He was lookin' good in his Edward Hardy shirt and as he walked by me he smelled so damn good ......I followed him!!! Yes, I did! Pimp juice in a bottle wasn't gettin away from me!! It was like he was the Pied fuckin Piper without a damn flute!!! I followed him, at arm's length of course, to the other end of the store where I waited on him. At one point I realized while I was standing at the counter with him that I was on my tip-toes practically leaning over it and as I looked over at my manager who was about ten feet from me at the time he looked at me like I was out of my mind! Then it happened! Said hottie opened his mouth and revealed a mouthful of nasty rotten teeth and then he began to speak and further revealed less than intelligent conversation skills! DAMN IT ALL!!!
Not too long after him was another fine young specimen. From across the store he had GRREEAAAT calves, a tattoo on his forearm (hey, A tattoo is better than none) and TERRIFIC shoulders! Anyone who knows me knows I am sucker for great shoulders. And then he turned around......and was wearing coke bottle glasses!!!!!!!! DAMN IT ALLL!!!!!!
It just goes to show ladies and gents, don't judge a book by it's cover because maybe that book can't speak or spell or even SEE!!!!

Stupid Bitches Part 3

Who would have thought, me, the aspiring blog mistress with a three part series on Stupid Bitches!! I realize that the last post: "I've sank your Battle Ship" may have seemed unrelated, but trust me when I say it most definitely was related to Stupid Bitches. One Stupid Bitch specifically. Which brings me to today's post. I have come to realize that this topic is such a broad one that there is simply NOT ENOUGH that can be said about Stupid Bitches!!
In fact here are a few more you may have also met!!!

1. The Perfectly Manicured Bitch- Have you met this Bitch? I have!! The one who gets her nails done every week and leaves the salon to go shopping while they are still wet and then expects the general public to reach into her pockets and purse to get her keys, phone, wallet, etc.. Here's an idea Bitch~ why don't you do like the rest of us average pee on's do and wait AT THE SALON until your nails are dry THEN go shopping!!! Wild concept I know!! Try it out it works well for the rest of us simple minded folk! I promise!

2. The Know-it-All-Bitch- There isn't anything you can say or do that she can't do and do better, at least in her little head!! If you have climbed Mt. Everest, she climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro and she did it yesterday!!! Or better yet this woman can tell you how to run your life better than you can and how to raise your children because she is an expert and went so green that she buys everything she sees and fills that huge house of hers with the even bigger carbon foot print!!! ;p

3. The Public Outburst Bitch- Ever witnessed one of these bitches? Having a bad day? Well, why not run down to your nearest convenient store and have a public outburst about your life and spill EVERY, single, last detail of your life about how you got knocked up and your man is a bastard!!! And THEN ...add the cherry to that sundae and burst into tears and run out!!! (I'm laughing right now just seeing that whole moment in my head all over again!!! hahahahaha)

4.The Center of Attention Bitch- This Perhaps is my LEAST favorite of all!! The Bitch that no matter the scenario has to be the center of everything! The one who simply can not understand what is going on if you are not bowing down to kiss her ass when she rolls through town! The one who can not stand to just let people be who they are even if that means they are different from her personality! The one who expects you to cater to HER, to apologize to her even when she may be wrong. To all these Bitches- Please refer to the last post, "I've sank your Battle Ship!" Later Bitch!!

5. The Story for Everything Bitch- This is the, "and one time at band camp", bitch. It doesn't matter what you've done or been through this Bitch has done it, seen it, been there, or slept with it first!!!! Sit down cuz this Bitch is gonna tell you alllll about it!!!!

Today's blog is dedicated to Nix! Love you lady!!
