Dear Hip Hipster,
I see you driving your 3 series BMW, talking on your iphone while playing only the whitest of the Hip Hop tunes. Your lookin' awesome in what I can only image are a pair of $300 True Religion jeans, truly. The only problem is you're cruising along in a 50 MPH zone at the ripe speed of 30. Now I am pretty sure the inner Bimmer code is, "drive it like you stole it" and since you are clearly breaking that rule (my effing 3 year old is screaming faster! faster!) I am going to have to ask you to head straight up Independence, hang a right at Hendrick BMW and trade 'er in. You've currently been relieved of your stylish car driving status. I am also going to need what little raisins of a set you must have left.
Don't forget to pick up the keys to your "new to you" '07 Camry. Someone's Grandma died and she left it in the parking lot for you.
Douche drivers drive me insane!
Have you missed me girls? :)

Bret Michaels is No Friend of Mine.
Let me start by sharing how I came to give my, (clears throat) bowel movements, the name Bret Michaels.
My friend Melanie has this deep love for the man Bret Michaels. And for the past several years she has some how sucked a group of us in to attending his *concerts* whenever he comes to town. I have been pregnant for the past few years so I've missed out on some of his recent engagements.
Anyway, one year either Melanie or another friend, Crazy Helen, got the idea that they wanted to make t-shirts to wear to the concert. I was not there on t-shirt making day. I show up the night of the concert and these two, proud as f*ing punch, show off the shirts that they've made for us to wear. The shirts have, no lie, "I Love BM" on the front. Whuck? And these two nut jobs don't get why I am hesitant to wear a shirt with "I Love BM" on it. Long discussion, blah, blah, blah, and some how I am talked in to wearing the shirt. I am sure that there was alcohol involved but anyway.
And from this, I now refer to my bowel movements as Bret Michaels.
OK, so Bret Michaels on a regular basis has never been a friend of mine. If I "entertain" Bret Michaels three times a week, it is a miracle. As I sit here getting older by the second I am beginning to become more and more aware (completely paranoid) about how unhealthy these extended visits really are. How much damage can this cause, or how much damage has it already caused. Has Bret Michaels had his way with my health? Bastard!
Jamie Lee Curtis is trying to shove yogurt down my throat in hopes of opening up my poop shoot but try as JLC might, I am just not that into yogurt. I like yogurt but I don't love it and I am sure as hell not going to eat it every.damn.day.
So, I start thinking about probiotics and taking one on a daily basis. Google away and holy shooty hoos! I've got more information, choices, brands, good ones, bad ones . . . than I can shake a stick at.
Too much!!!! my ADHD-self screams! I just need to find a magic pooping pill!
Like with anything that overwhelms me, I ran as far away as possible. So, for now, if Bret Michaels has over stayed his welcome and things start to feel a little crampy and tight between us, I'll just have to stick with one of my two stand-bys: Eddie's Place for their smoked sausage and french toast (my friend Melanie will attest to this) or if I am short on time, a venti mocha latte from the 'bucks.
Whatever it takes Bret Michaels, whatever it takes.

Pancakes and Preseco? Starbucks and the Elephant Man?
Had a great morning with one of my funniest friends. Do you have a friend, or friends, that crack you up? I really hope that you do. I am fortunate to have quite a few.
I am amazed how at the ripe old age of 41 a chat with your friend(s) still means so much. My G is the world, Fat is my heart and Big E is my rock. My girlfriends though, can just slay me with a look, the lift of an eyebrow, the curl of a lip. When you have your besties the world is a doable place. You can conquer all.
A little more me time was one of my ressies for the new year. It started with a pancake breakfast and ended with a few morning drinks (Ha!) Laughed my ass off today talking about, ok so we were imitating him, the Elephant Man over a Starbucks.
So glad I am sticking to my January ressie.
Mad love girls. :)

Can you buy athleticism?
What's the deal? I bought the matchy-matchy running pants and zip up jacket from the Gap. Did the whole new shoe after Christmas sale. Even switched up from my yearly Asic IGS running shoe and went with Mizuno. Both shoes have a wider toe box for my Fred Flinstone feet. I have more Groupons for yoga, pilates, pole dancing classes than paper in my printer. So, where's my skinny ass? My toned arms? My flat stomach? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?
I feel that if I am putting in the effort to purchase these things, then I should get some "athletic" body points. Heading to the mall with two kids is no Haagen daz food court picnic my friend. There is a sweat to be busting. Ideally, I am looking for a pound to dollar purchase trade off. If I spend 10 bucks then I should have some sort of reduction of weight or inches toned equal to dollars spent ($10 = 10 lbs or 10 inches).
Yes, I know that you can purchase liposuction or implants but I don't want those. I want to BE one of those girls in the Title Nine/Athleta catalogs. Muscles ripped, some crazy yoga pose, scaling a small mountain. Only problem is I'd just like to do these things from the comfort of my own couch. Too much to ask? Eh.
Lazy couch potato just doesn't have the flair that it used to. When did sweat become the new black? We can put cheese in a spray can, why not skinny?
I just want my can of skinny.

Happy New Year
Hey, check me out, I m bloggin'! "I m bloggin I hope you like bloggin' too." Anybody else have a little Bob Marley running through their head now?
OK, so I am sure that I should start off with some sort of introduction but that is way too planned out and organized for my ADHD self. Why not just dive right in?
I will, in all fairness, warn you that I am a product of a Southern California school system that based its, then, curriculum on whole language.
That didn't work out so well for me. So, if you are a fan of proper grammar, correct spelling and well, just the plain basics of writing, you won't find them here.
My husband says I type like I talk. I am just one incredibly long paragraph. No clearly defined beginning, end or train of thought. :)
Anyway, I hope you find this a funny and entertaining place to land when you have a few minutes to kill on the "internets".
I do have to get a thank you shout out to two people; Miranda Reger and Donna Yonkovig. They have been pushing me to do this for a while, so here I am. Gulp!
