OK....8 random things....

Thank you, Scott for making me think about myself this much! I am going to censor some of the things that I could've said about myself....I wouldn't want anyone to blush.


1) I am, as much as I try not to be, a closet red neck. I am cultured, articulate and a very well rounded person.....( I got college) but when it comes time to cut wood, go drag racing and cook over an open fire.....yeee doggy, I'm there. Now, don't get me wrong, I still have a Kalamazoo Symphony Membership and hit the jazz bars as much as I can, but....you live with a redneck in a redneck town....it rubs off.

2) I don't like girls! I am a guy's girl. I always have been. I have about 7, count em' 7 girlfriends that have a piece of my heart. But, they are just like me....Upfront, uninhibited, loud, crazy bitches. And I love everyone of them...Lisa, Lisa, Jeannie, Sandra, Tammy & Amy ( my lesbian couple) and Kim. That's it. I have always hung out with the guys. Alright...Alright, some..ok...alot of them were friends with benefits, but some of my very best and most understanding friends. To this day, I don't feel like I've ever lost touch with them and I know that I could count on any one of them if I needed anything. Hell...a couple of them married my female bitches! I've lived with male roommates...had male condo roommates and nothing that will ever happen will change the fun that I have had with "my boys".

3) I am no longer blonde! Ok, at least not naturally anymore. I had kids....short and sweet. Having them even changed my hair color. What the hell! I now rely on boxes and creams, elixers and potions to maintain my blonde locks. Eh, I was never ever a true blonde to begin with anyway.

4) Gum...Gum...Gum...! I love gum. Eclipse....Orbit....whatever. As long as it makes you feel like you just cleaned the inside of your mouth out with chemicals....burn, baby, burn. Spearamint!!! My very favorite. I have this fetish with fresh breath and this gives me the fix that I need.

5) College. Damn did I have fun. I didn't accomplish anything at all except for having a few passed music classes on my transcripts. What did I learn....alot of great marching band songs, some lymrics that I never can remember all of, how to take back enough bottles from the party the night before, to get yet ANOTHER case of 5 syllable beer and most important....... friends are friends, pals are pals but, buddies sleep together. I wouldn't change a thing. FYI, I am going back to school in the spring of '07 to become a Paramedic.

6) I married a Fireman! He puts out fires.....hmmmm.

7) I am not a political person. I admire my friend Mike. And my friend Scott. They are in touch with what is going on in the world around them. Mike, especially has certain views and isn't afraid to express them. I admire that. I feel like sometimes, because of where I live, that politics is nothing more than who gets the most votes for city commission..they get to be mayor. I try and keep up with who will be the possible candidates for the presidential election and watch the debates...but they all seem to start sounding like the school teacher from Charlie Brown.

8) And probably my most random thought..I'm jealous of all my friends that live close to each other. I'm on the other side of the state and get to see them, if possible, once....maybe twice a year. I'm jealous because they live close to each other, still know what is going on with each other and still get invited to things at each other's houses. Hell, Roz is going to be in kindergarten before I get to see her. Just like Mackenzie and Jimmy were.

What do you say to someone?

Sunday November 4th at 9:56p.m., my husband's best friend and fellow firefighter killed himself. Not only did he take his own life, but took the life of his wife.....mother of his child. And I honestly don't know if I will look at life quite the same again.

If you've caught the news at all (it's been on CNN!) this week, you may have heard the news, rumors, gossip being slung like deep black mud by the media. Hell, they probably heard about the "Murder/Suicide" in some far off country where they talk in clicks and snaps! Yes, a firefighter of almost 13 years....public safety officer of 7 SNAPPED! Somewhere something inside him said he'd had enough and after shooting his wife at least twice, killing he instantly, he turned the gun on himself.

How in the hell do you mourn someone that you've known for so long after doing something that tragic to someone else. Kevin, we called him Doogie, has been a friend to my son, backed my husband up in fires and played "Sparky" for the kids in the schools for the last 13 years. Yet in the blink of an eye, you take away the fact that you really didn't know this person at all.

His parent.......oh...my...god...his parents. Joel and I went to visitation on Wednesday night. To look his parents in the eye was on of the hardest things of all. What do you say in a situation like this. Nothing in my many years has prepared me to face his parents like this. We hugged them, listened to them sob on our shoulder and moved on. They wanted so many things for the funeral that a firefighter and police officer should have had to honor him with......yet in the blink of an eye, bad judgment caused all of their dreams of a hero's funeral to become a nightmare. We, Otsego's finest, were not allowed to do anything for him. No truck, no procession....can't even wear their dress uniforms to the funeral.

What causes something like this? What, in his mind and heart of hearts, was bad enough that he left all of his friends and family holding the bag...so to speak? The only 2 people that know this are no longer able to tell us and that sucks!

I'm not going to say anymore, I simply cannot. But, to you.....my very sweet friends, and you all know who you are. I love you. Please take every day as if it's the best day of your life....and remember to tell those poeple that are special to you that you love them.

XO

The power of a suit...

For anyone that really knows me, I am certainly not a suit kinda' gal. Never wanted one...was content with my kakhi capri living life. Suits were for the uptight and stuffy. But, working in an Lawyer's office, I have felt the pressure to go out and buy one. For what.....my office is in Otsego, not the most professional of cities in the world, but....I caved.



So, being the cheap penny pincher that I am, I thought it would benefit me to check out some higher end stores like....The Salvation Army!



After looking through literally racks upon racks of color coordinated clothes....mind you, they do not sort by size...just color. I happen upon a lone suit....end of the rack....put there by someone that obviously didn't want one... just as much as I didn't. It was the suit for me...black with pants, single breasted buttons. Hey...my size, too. Wool, very nice. Hardly a spot on it....must have been taken care of very well. My bet when new....$200. How much you ask....$20 bucks!!! I'll take it. I slap myself on the back, pay for my suit and go home.



Now, as I am wearing said suit today....I now know, why people in business wear suits. What a fabulous feeling of businessy business!! Other than scratchy wool...it's light and comfy, not very uncomfortable and......it's looks really good.



SO......I take it all back. Stuffiness is in the eye of the beholder!
