Only Child Syndrome

My photo
The fact is this...I am a LATE thirty-something, an only child with one living parent and I hate, by the way, being an only child.

I am a drama queen and I know it, and I love it and I won't change it!

I am finally in a career that I love and I finally found someone special, just for me and my dramatic nature!

I am a horse lover. I love and ride Appaloosa horses.

I am and artsy-farts and love all aspects of the Arts and Culture. I am an Independent Stylist for Stella & Dot and love the jewels.

I have a dog who is my four legged baby, her name is Effie and I have another three legged baby and her name is Daisy.

Favourite Things Thursday!!


Today has been a good day. Today is favourite things Thursday!

I have been in the box office this morning with both of thee box office gurus and they are both outta control behind which brings me to one of my favourite things and that is to watch others who are outta contol while I am totally, one hundred percent in control!! Ahhh, yes that my dear friends is a good feeling.


Another of my fave things is popcorn.

It is a nightly ritual to have a small bowl of popcorn (with salt and pepper) as I settle down in my happy clothes and sit in my easy chair.

This favourite things Thursday is brought to you by the inspirations of Blue!

Untitled

I had a moment last night and I didn't like it one bit, not one bit.

Ma Kettle is at my Uncles wedding this week and normally she calls me every night to see what was up for the day or to tell me about hers.

I never got the call last night and I started to cry. Why you ask? Well, it hit me that Grama used to call to us every night and both mom and I miss that. Grama is here no more. Well, mom is 67 and is in fair condition but I know she won't be here forever and it is the phone call that I missed.

Once she is gone, I will be alone.

I guess thats one reason why I don't have kids. I could not just have one. It would either be all or nothing. I hate being an only child. No dad, no grandparents, just my mom and I.

Now, I know there are gonna be people who say, "well you have Legs." But that is not the same.

It is not the same at all.

I dread the day that no more phone calls come. It may sound silly but I have a message manager on my phone and if mom leaves a generic message, I hang on to it. I treasure it because I know there will be a day that the calls will come no more.

Crush

I get so confused these days...I mean there are so many numbers any more. You can't just dial the last four numbers anymore...I digress.

You have to dial all 7 now. You have to remember the cell phone, work, the other cell phone...there are so many numbers to remember. I hate numbers....

There are also different words for clothes....
  1. Thongs are now flip flops...thongs use to be worn on your feet!
  2. Kangaroo Jackets are now zip ups...or someting like that...I don't even know what they are called anymore!!
  3. Thongs are now a type of underwear with a string that goes in your butt crack!
  4. Bunnyhugs are now called Hoodies
  5. Rounded cowboy boots for woman are called Fatbabies

The list goes on and on and on and on....I can't keep up.

Here is a new slang word that I was hit with the other day...."crush". This is the sentence it was used in..."Let's go crush some spaghetti." What the hell is that?!? Oh...wait... they are going to go and eat some spaghetti!!! What the...?

I just can't keep up! I'm thiry-something! What is it gonna be like when I am 50.

Ok...it is Monday. I have been to a few of my blogger friends spots and I will give this a try. It is a Free Associaion Word Meme that I read on Blue's Blog.

Memory :: not much
Original :: of course!
Exclusively :: my own
Listings :: grocery (neverending)
Bucket :: of water
Knight :: Moody Blues (in white satin)
Dusty :: my house (can't keep up)
Choice :: salty (I'd sooner salty than sweet)
Sunlight :: sun burnt (I never tan)
Change of plans :: never good (always lead to mischief)

Head over to LunaNina and see how interesting it is!

Speaking of...

Speaking of personal bubbles....

I am not a huggy person, I am not an affectionate person. I was just brought up that way. My family is not huggy, my family will not out and out tell you they love you. You just know they do.

My mom, now that she is older is starting to get a little more huggy, I find this awkward. Now, I know she is my mom but it just is awkward. My grandfather, when he got older he too, started to hug. My grama...ahhh, not so much. She didn't hug. She did my hair instead. She would braid it, pony tail it, cut it, pin curl it...the list goes on.

I don't like close talkers. I don't like people standing to close. I have a hard time in crowded places. I don't like huggers. Lots of people don't understand that. It is not personal. Don't be offended. Its just the way I am. Sometimes I feel bad. I try to break the cycle but I always revert back.

It's something I must work on.

Reality Check

Stilfer's Mom had a reality check on the weekend. And we all know she has been on the hunt for a new squeeze. Now, I have never been in a rush to find another significant other very fast. Come on, it is 4:1 here in the Border Town. What's the rush.

Being married at 19, I never really had a chance to see who I really was and now in my 30's and divorced, (eventhough I now have Legs), I am just finding out how I work and how I tick. What I will put up with and what I won't. It has been an interesting journey.

Stifler's Mom wants a relationship. Don't rush it, I say. It will find you. When a person rushes something like a relationship for instance, it makes them appear desperate, insecure. I know I am insecure about certain things but that's what my friends are for...to get me back up and running.

Finding friends to hang with almost runs along the same lines. Let them come to you. They were here first.....I am pondering here....maybe I should write a book on this.

Anyway...this dude that Stifler's Mom liked, did something really, really stupid the second time she met him. He was drunk. Not just a little drunk, but slobbering drunk. That is not attractive! Especially on the second meet. So drunk that he was hanging on me! That went over well....I don't like people in my personal bubble period, let alone someone who is drunk and this was the first time I met him!

Nuff said...

Can't get it outta my head

"Where, oh where are you tonight?
Why did you leave me here all alone?
I searched the world over and thought I'd found true love,
You met another and Thhhhhht(raspberry here), you was gone."

Yup, it's from "Hee Haw"
Here is the rest of it.....

A HEE HAW CLASSIC DITTY

Where oh where are you tonight?
Why did you leave me here all alone?
I searched the world over and I thought I'd found true love.
But you met another and PTHHP! you was gone.

You took out your false teeth, your wig and your glasses.
You were just scattered all over the place.
I wanted to kiss you and hug you so tightly.
I guess that I would have if I'd found your face.

I went to your house at three in the morning.
You had all them curlers and junk in your hair.
You would not have scared me and I'd not have run so,
If you had not looked like you'd wrestled a bear.

I told you my darlin' you looked like a gopher.
Made you so mad, you haven't spoke since.
But tell me my darling if you ain't got buck teeth.
How do you eat apples through a picket fence?

When I picked you up for our date last weekend.
You looked so pretty in your satin and lace.
But when I bent over and started to kiss you,
you popped a pimple all over my face!


I have had it in my head all day and its driving me nutty....SO just thought I would share it so someone else can have it in their head now too!

The weekend in a nutshell.

It's Friday....
Tonight is Friday Frightnight!!

I am staying home and putting my feet up(cuz I don't want anything to grab me from under the couch!!), making some popcorn, putting on my happy clothes and then turning on the boob tube to watch Friday Frightnight. HOWEVER....last night was good with NBC 's (I think) Fear Itself. That is a pretty nifty show. It is about time that CSI, Law and Order and the oh-so-many rotten reality t.v. shows were put on the back burner for Fear Itself.

I mean really...how many CSI's and Law and Order's do we need. Sigh.

I am happy to see and MUST watch the following:
Bones
Chuck
Fear Itself
Paranormal State
When those shows are on I can not answer the phone, talk, or walk. My butt is planted to the couch, or chair, or floor, whichever is handiest.

Saturday:
Saturday I must work at the hell job. Then I am off to a shower...ok get this....
Saturday night is this shower for Legs' cousin. I have never met his fathers side before, so this should be interesting. What to get?

Well, I got "her" three plants and potted them in a little wheel barrel that you can put outside. I mean what do you get for someone whom you have NEVER met? Plus they have been living together for six years...which brings me to this...

What do you get people who are already living together and why are they having a friggin shower!?? Why not a recipie party, where the women get together and have coffe or drinks, whichever, and make up a recipie book? Please. I gotta say that this first time when I got married, I never lived with Millertime. But this second round...well I don't want a shower cuz I'm already shacked up! I don't get it. OR chip in and get them one big present like patio furniture of a camera or something like that. Naw....having a shower for someone who has lived together for a long time forfeits a shower!

Sunday:
I am cleaning the little abode as the Border Town is hosting the 2008 Summer Games, so I am having company stay with me for 5 days. Yup, 5 days!! Not sure this will work but I guess I'll give it a try.
Would like to go golfing in the afternoon or maybe a matinee. Golfing, I would need someone to go with as that is just wayyyy to out of my comfort zone. Matinee however, I could do alone.

Legs is haying with his dad so there is no way I am going to the farm. That is too stressful and if I want to leave the stressful situation I can't because....I STILL DON'T HAVE A HOUSE YET!!!!

So that will be Fairy Mae's weekend. Hope your's is well and the weather stays good!

Birthday

Today is always a little sad for me.


Today is my dad's birthday.


As much as I say I hate him for leaving us, there is a part of me that would have loved to have known him.


He left when I was only a few months old. My mom never did find him to divorce him properly...if there is a way to do that!!


She had to put an add in the newspaper publically announcing their divorce and if anyone knew of his where abouts they had or should step forward. It took seven years to close the books on that.


Yup, my dad's birthday is today. I often wonder if I have other family out there.

This is just my opinion but I often thought that people who were adopted had it easy with regards to finding their birth parents because of all the records left behind. They had a wee bit of closure. They could ask why.


Not my dad, he never left one scrap of paper behind. Cleaned up everything. Pretty smart. A slick son-of-a gun. I don't get that right to ask questions.



Happy birthday dad!

Favourite Things Thursday...

It is that time of the week for Favourite things Thursday.


One of them are horses. I am passionate about horses. I have been with horses since the age of three. I broke many to ride, I have trained them too. Now that I am older...I get someone else to do just the basics...only 30 days...then I get on and finish them off. I like to be able to see what they are good for. Barrels, pleasure, trail, reining. I love getting on their backs and seeing how each thinks. Are they quick thinkers or do they need to think things through a little more before going on to something else. They all have different personalities just like you and I. It amazes me.

I think horses are magnificent. I love the smell of them. I love the way they will nuzzle you all over. I love everything about them.


I am my happiest out in the pasture with my four-legged friends.

My best friend in the horse world is Bosley. He is 22. He is a sorrel Appaloosa gelding with snowflakes on his rump. He has been with me for more than half my life. When I think about him he makes me smile and cry at the same time.

Smile because he and I have been through it all. Horse shows, where we clean up the winnings in showmanship, equitation, pleasure and reining. Funerals where I have been sad and he cheers me up, weddings, trail rides, my divorce, he has always been there. He has the patience of Job. He stands there and waits til I am done hugging him. He comes to me when he sees me headed for him.

Cry because he is 22. He won't be with me that much longer so I have retired him. He is looking pretty in the pasture and every once in awhile we still go for a ride but his arthritis does act up some days so he gets comfy in a blanket and stays inside for the day.

I do have other horse friends like Bonnie and Ice, Katie and many others. They too, will come and stand with me. They are social animals and like to be with you. Once they know that you are not a predator they will stick to you like glue. They can sense when you are nervous, scared, angry, happy and sad. I could get into more details but that's another day.


Horses are definately without a doubt, one of my favourite things.




Hancock

I am the type of person who NEVER goes anywhere by myself. I don't eat in a resturant by myself, nor do I go to an event by myself, or to the bar, or to a dance by myself.

I was told the other day by my boss who does do things on his own to try it. It is the only way of self discovery. So....I stepped out of my comfort zone and went to the movie....Not just any movie but to Hancock on Tightwad Tuesday and Tuesdays are packed!

I got back from the beach with Stifler's Mom about 8:30pm and was not ready to settle in for the night. I really wanted to see that particular movie and decided to go.

I drove up to the theater and parked in the lot and just sat there...was I doing the right thing? Can I do this at all? I thought I have to do this, so I gathered my things, locked the car and went inside. I was about 20 minutes early so I could bolt if need be....

I bought my ticket and stood in line. The ticket taker barked "Hancock number 4 is open", I thought I should go in right away so I wouldn't chicken out.

I went in and sat down and I was the ONLY one in there for about 15 minutes. Then 4 women walked in, then 2 teenage boys. The 4 women were about two rows up and across from me and they sounded like they were having a heck of a time. All of a sudden I heard "hey lady...come join us". I looked back and laughed. I got up and went over and sat with them. 4 of the funniest and nicest people I have met in a long time. By then 2 more people came in ......a total of 9.

This can't be. 9 people for a Will Smith movie....your shitting me! The movie starts at 25 past 9 and it is now 20 to 10. What the hell?

All of a sudden the masses came flooding through the door. There was a patron who had a seizure and they had to call the EMS to assist.

The masses sat down and the movie began.

Hancock is very funny. I really enjoyed Jason Bateman. It is really nice to see him acting again. Charlize Theron...one of my favourite actresses in the world, (besides Cate Blanchett) was in it and of course Will Smith. It was really good. There was a huge twist in it and when it happened we, the masses, all gasped and started to laugh. For those who have not seen it....I won't tell. It was really good and I am happy to have gone.

All in all, the lone movie experience was a good one. I enjoyed the company I was with, enjoyed the movie and I do believe that I will venture out on my own again.

Dark Knight....here I come!!!

Not that lucky...

I am fairly easy going and when I get annoyed, I don't usually say anything, I am one of those people that when I have had enough, I blow up.

It is not pretty when I blow because when it happens, all the feelings and emotions surface, I bawl and my face turns red. I am not very tactful. In fact, I am a hurtful blower-upper. I try not to but it happens. I am what I am.

Yesterday was one of those days.

Our house plans have fallen through....not because we couldnt get the money but because our dealer is....(Must be tactful here)....a quitter. When the going gets rough....she splits...and so does the rest of her troupe.

Last Monday I had not heard from her in about two days so I emailed her to see what was happening. We are only waiting on labour costs and then off to the bank we go. I will get my house before snowfall....YAY!!! Not so much....

I get a phone call from our little dealer and she tells me on the phone that her contractor, is MIA and she is hurt and angry and will sell us the show home for half of what she was asking and her dealership!! HER WHAT??!! DID SHE SAY DEALERSHIP!!??? She is leaving us high and dry.

I immediately call her area manager who just so happens to be in MONTANA!!!! How the frig are we to work with someone in MON-"FN"-TANA!!! I hit the roof. I became unglued! I became a nightmare! She was going to hire an American crew to come and build the house...WHAT? An American crew...Is there not someone here??!! Im not friggin payin for an American crew!! Am I dreaming?!?

I then called Edmonton and hooked up with the same company there, "fired" so to speak, our dealer here in the Border Town and told the Area Manager that I would be dealing with Edmonton, to save her American crew and that we were hiring local...well reasonably local.

Legs and I are now back to square one. I have to take a trip to Edmonton to sit with our new dealer and go over everything......again.....

I havent heard from our former dealer and I havent heard from the Manager in Montana.

I am angry. I am very disappointed. I am very annoyed.

I am not impressed.

Facsinated by the blogs.

Thank you!
Everytime I go to Blue's blog...I am immediately drawn to two things....
The Visitor Tracker and the Map. I had to put it on mine. I realize that my blog is not as widely read as Blue's (or Wilma's or Mick's for that matter) but I always ready the tracker. It just amazes me how that thing works. I am drawn to gadgets....I'm not sure where in the gene pool that came from!

I also enjoy going to Mick's blog as well. There he has the video of the day, which always amuses me, as well as the ongoing sports section and not to mention the ongoing weightloss reports. Plus the world news!

Another Blog I never miss is Wilma's. Wit is never short there! I enjoy reading the everyday happenings. It is how I keep in touch I suppose.

Ahhhh... the day in the life of Fairy Mae.

Now that I spent the morning on how to copy and paste all this stuff I guess I should do some work.

Favourite Things Thursday...

Well....Blue and Wilma are on to something, so I think I will give it a try...
Favourite things....hmmmm

One of my favourite things are taking pictures of anything out doorsy. Nature. Animals. Flowers.




This moth was perched on the window at the farm.











Cute little buggar!














Ava's new baby!


















Anna and Darby.
















Our very own Baxter Black



These are a few of my favourite things....

The nightmare continues....

Well...our dealer for the house we WERE planning to build had a melt down and the company has decided to take over her accounts. WE are not happy. I had a frightening phone call from her yesterday offering me the show home for half the cost and HER DEALERSHIP!!! Scared the hell outta me! Needless to say we are glad the company does not have one red cent of our money nor our signatures. I am very disappointed. I wanted to be in the house by fall, with my dog and my piano. Legs is NOT impressed! I have only ever witnessed his temper once...until yesterday...now it is twice. It scares me to say the least!

The area dealer from Montana has offered to bring an American team down to build the house but that doesnt include the sub-contractors which we had left up to the dealer to get us. He too, left us high and dry! Back to square one!

I'll be bookin' my own sub-contractors thank you....

Grrrrr.....

Alarming

Spent the night at the farm last night.

Why do some people NEED 5 alarms? OR Why must they hit the snooze button a million times? I am someone who only needs the alarm to go off once. Now I ask....IF you are with someone who needs only to hear the alarm once, why does the other person insist on having the other alarms go off, when the other person is awake? Does that person think the one awake will not wake the other? Does that person like to see the other hanging from the ceiling each and every time that blasted alarm goes off for the 2nd and 3rd time? Why is it when the person awake can not shut the blasted alarm off? Why is it that when the person awake reaches over for the gazillionth time to turn off the alarm cuz they are sick of hearing the blasted buzzer go off yet again get hell for it? These are the questions I ponder?

My biggest pet peeve has got to be the snooze button. Or can you tell?!

Nonsense

I lay awake sometimes at night and I think of all these great subjects to blog about....it never makes it to paper. I suppose I should have a pen and paper by the bed but I am too lazy to do it.

I like to think that I am an organized person and am driven....most of the time. I complete my deadlines way in advance just incase anything crops up. I like to be in control. I have blogged before about being a controller and I am to a degree. I would not however be the first to step up and initiate some huge project but I would dive in and help out anyway I could.

I would not step up to be a guide of any sorts. Those who know me, know that I have no sense of direction what so ever and would get lost at the drop of a hat. That's why I don't navigate in LA! I stay in the back seat with the video and digital camera snapping pictures of passersby, waving and smiling and yelling "say cheese".

Ants in my pants

I want to go somewhere...not just to the city but I want to fly somewhere. I have ants in my pants. Edmonton is just not going to do it for me.

I want to go to Vegas, LA, Reno, Mexico...I just want to go....

There has been talk of going to Vegas again with Legs and another couple with whom I have never met.

When I first started seeing Legs we took a day trip to Edmonton and had thought of dropping in to see this particular couple....that took a turn! I overheard her on Legs' cell phone cutting attiude with him about me. She was judging me and hadn't even met me! Who the hell she thought she was I don't know but....that little side trip to visit them never happened! I have since been seeing Legs now going on almost three years and have yet to meet miss Snippy Face. NOW they want to go to Vegas with us!! I better be meeting her first before I go anywhere with that couple. Her body may be thrown off the plane if I don't meet her before then...if the truth be known, if I don't meet her ...WE won't be going!

Back

Well, I am back from my "holiday". I am burnt to a crisp, stronger than I was when I left after pounding in a gazzzzillion fence posts...(nope we don't believe in renting a post pounder cuz I am it!)

I attending the rodeo dance Saturday evening and saw many things go on there that should not have. Don't these people realize that it is small town Saskatchewan, a town of 2500 people! Everybody knows everyone elses' business. We had our neighbour hanging on some woman, grabbing her....everywhere.... while his wife was at home with the 4 boys. We all sat at the table and laughed! It was very entertaining to say the least!

Mom and I managed to break away long enough from the farm to go into town to have supper at the cousins' house. Their three year old is a holy terror and was very good birth control for me! Nope not having one of those!! Gimme another beer please! When's the chicken done? What? Only one leg! That is a WHOLE other story!! Not to mention "the giving of the horses"...don't get me started!

I stopped in at a friends house as I was on my way back to the Border Town and drank wayyyy to many Mojitos. I stayed the night there...found out that my poor ex-husband managed to save enough cash to buy a Harley....WTF was I thinking! I shoulda went for the pension but nooooo, he was as tight on cash as I was.....somebody slap me!

Wilma is right...you can't think about the regrets stuff, it will depress you and make you bitter. Moving on...

Now that I am back, I have this great tan, these great arms and I managed to find one ab muscle. I am sure that won't be there for long, but it is kinda nice to see....for now. Where's the McDonalds!

The Border Town is having its Exhibition this weekend. I attended the Honeymoon Suite Concert last night....yup....I was in the mosh pit! Tonight is Kim Mitchell, I will be in the mosh pit again and tomorrow night is Charlie Major, not sure if he is really mosh pit material, but I am gonna go.

All is well now that I am back. Legs is stressing about the house plans. We are on a bit of a stall there. I am stressing cuz he is. Stifler's Mom is still looking for a significant other.....and she's cooking supper tonight!

Ahhhh George
