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.

Dollections...


First of all... Happy Valentine's Day!!!!



Well...I had to do it. There was just no more room.


Last night after I got home from work. I went into my bedroom to put on my happy clothes and when I made the bed in the morning I put my stuffed toys...yes I still have some! on top of my happy clothes, so I had to dig for them. I decided that I have too many toys. I went through some boxes and found a net to hang all the toys up in. I have spiderman, clackity-clack clam, a green frog, a little dog with a hat, my talking Alf doll and my chicken.


After I put all but Spidey up in the net, I sat on the bed and thought about all the dolls and toys my mom bought me when I was a kid and still have to this day.


Here is the list of all I still have:

I have three cabbage patch kids and their clothes, a Vinnie Bobarino doll, A Fonzie doll, Bobby Orr, Cher, Princess Leah, Luke Skywalker, Spock, Cpt. Kirk, Spiderman, Donny and Marie Osmand, Talking Alf, Stretch Armstrong (his stretch is gone now), Hulk Hogan finger puppet, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Ricky the Dragon Steamboat, Hannibal Smith, Howling Mad Murdoch, along with numerous autographs from the stars....I have alot. And if course I took care of them all. Its quite amazing what you keep as an adult. I don't plan on having kids, so in my old age, I am not sure who will get my dollectables, but being an only child, I am not ready to let things go yet. They are mine, mine, all mine and nobody elses but mine!
Ahhh, that only child syndrome is kicking in again.....

going outta my mind


Some days I think my head is going to explode. Not only am I a controller and a perfectionist, I am also a deep thinker. I get something into my brain and I analyze it TO DEATH! I know I do this and I can't seem to stop it. Only one thing has to not go according to plan and then everything goes to hell in a handbasket. Someone says something that I don't think is appropriate and I analyze it. Then I get defensive by way of either being pouty, nervous or bitchy and I know I do this and I just can't stop. It is like a drug. You do it once and it goes spiraling out of control. Then only one person needs to utter a sound and I crumble. Tears flow, hands tremble and knees get weak. I literally "puke" out my thoughts and then find out that it really wasn't as bad as I thought it was in the first place.


My grama always said that things are never that bad the next day.


I hope she's right.

Boy Toys and Church and the weigh in....


Well, Mardi Gras was a blast! The Border City decided to throw one again this year and a bunch of us decided to go. I dressed up as a 70's diva with my long fluttery eyelashes and bright paisley dress, along with my go-go boots. Stifler's Mom was dressed in gold AND she brought her NEW man!! A younger one at that. Now both of us are cougars, sporting our younger men on our arm. However, mine could not attend due to the fact he is on a JD course in Olds. I did manage to catch the eye of a 24 year old...he was just a baby. No way was I even going there!!


Yup!


Stifler's Mom has a boy toy. Sounds pretty serious too.


Sunday morning I picked her up for church. At present we are church hopping to see which we like the best. Both of us are Luthern but we don't particularly care for the style. You know, slow songs, the long drawn out, awwwwwwwwmennnnnn. The dreary sermons. We are up for something more lively. Sunday, we went to the Baptist Church. It was pretty good. They are doing a 4 week stint on love. This first week was interesting combining scripture with Valentine's Day, and dating and such. I think we are heading back next week. Stifler's Mom is excited to go because there could be some tips that she could pick up with her new squeeze. For me with regards to my relationship with Legs...well, let's just say the honeymoon is over!



It was also weigh in day again this week. I am still the same weight, just losing the inches. Swimming does wonders!

Driving me NUTS!!!

I can not for the life of me get the Sask Blog flag on my blog!!! I have been on this thing for half the day. I am so frustrated!!!!!!!!!! I have been visiting this site since I read Brunos blog and I quite like it but I can't get it on my Cloister lifelines. Heaven only know I have a hard enough time copying and pasting and trying to figure out which little square things get pasted in to. Nothing is ever easy. CRAP!

Going out with Legs

Last night I talked Legs into going to a movie. There was Rambo...do I really want to see Sly Stallone who is...I da know....75 years old running abound with a bandana on his head?!!? NO!

Do I wanna see 20 something Dresses...NO. Do I wanna see Cloverfield, shot in the stlye of the Blair Witch...NO! Do I wanna see P.S. I Love you?? HELL NO!

I do want to see Juno and I was really glad I did. I even liked the soundtrack.

We entered the movie theatre wondering which we might see. (Legs was wary of another chick flick, hell even I am not into chick flicks!) We walked into theatre #4 and there was this really odd music playing. I figured it was music from the sound track but wasn't sure. Once the movie started, sure enough, it was the soundtrack we were listening to. It was great.

Juno is a must see.

Torn

Well, I have been searching for a new hairstyle for awhile now and I think I finally found it! Stifler's Mom came over the other night and brought with her a Danielle Steele movie called "Safe Harbour." As we were watching and chatting, a new character came ontp the scene and that was it. The light bulb popped and there it was. My new hairstyle/cut. Now, I am torn if I should go that short or not. The actresses name is Rebecca Staab and I LOVE her haircut and style. Now I have the task of finding a hairdresser to cut and style it properly....now, finding a hairstylist..... that is another blog all on it's own!!!

Boys in the Border Town

I went to Stifler's Mom''s house last night for dinner and a movie. It was good but Stifler's Mom is pretty depressed about the dating scene here in the Border Town. She has had some weird dating experiences and is getting a little discouraged.

She told me that she went on a dating website and signed up for speed dating in Toon Town, hmmmm.... and asked if I wanted to go. (Wilma should like this one)

I am thinking about it....

I think it would be hilarious but on the other hand I am in a serious relationship with Legs and don't think it would be fair not only to him but to the dude at the dating table. I think it would be disrespectful. Am thinking.....

I think I would go but would wait in the hotel room for her!


Ahhh...as the stomach turns....

Ahhhh George
