Missed Connections

OMG!!! How could i have NEVER known of this beautifully entertaining Item on the world wide web?????? Missed Connections on Craig's list. Dear god it is so entertaining it is like crack... I have heard about this now a couple of times, but never thought to check it out. Well now... i can't stop! So you go to Craig's list (make sure your in Milwaukee) and g to missed connections. The pages upon pages will make you laugh, and go awwwww, and some just make you crawl because they are CREEPY. But all in all it is pure entertainment and i consider it my duty to share this clean, free source of entertainment with you. Now as i was paging through i could not help but wonder " what would it be like to be looking through these and then find one that is directed to you?" Oh my can you imagine???? How would you feel? WHAM... Nov 1st It reads JESSICA RABBIT... Ahhhhhhhhh i was Jessica Rabbit!!!! Holy shit! My heart stopped!!! i got sudden panic...So i read on. (this is word for word... i copy and pasted it) Jessica Rabbit --I saw you at riptide halloween night. I wanted to say something to you, but never got around to it and then my friends decided to move on to another bar. Maybe if I had been around just a few minutes more, I would have gotten out the words.

Omg!!! then i realized i was never at Riptide. wa wa waaaaaaaa... So no it was not me this man was looking for but did kinda get a feeling of what it would be like for someone to post a missed connection about me. or should i say Jessica Rabbit.

I just had to go there :-)

Yes this pic is so creepy and intriguing that i had to post and talk about it. I was looking up gluten free foods... no i am not switching my diet, i just want to fill my brain with more useless knowledge. So anyways, this picture was on the website. Te he he it is so gross. Just one big bowl of wieners, i mean sausages. Which makes me think of a sausage fest, which brings me laughingly to the fact that i have recently taken up a new social game.. trolling for sausages (by that i mean men) at the Metro Market. On purpose might i add! Lol... wow i even make myself blush by admitting that i am trolling for men at the supermarket... The funny thing about it is that i don't even want to be in a relationship, but i just cant stop! I try to drive past, but i always end up in the store, doing the side glance at the guy picking out apples next to me... Oh god i know i know laugh away! I laugh myself, but it has become my new hobby. Fun hobby might i add! You can always find a hot man at the grocery store. And... i have found my own little ways of for sure knowing if they are single, gay, married, etc. You can always tell by what is in the basket. For instance, fine wine, cheese, carr's crackers... gay, Weird miscellaneous stuff like hot dogs, cakes mix, pasta, canned tuna... Married. And oh last but not least. The single man, frozen pizza, corn dogs, chips, beer, and Men's Health mag (note: it is always the slightly chubby single guy with this mag), and the occasional can of denty moore beef stew. Yes ladies it is with keen eye that i have gathered this info. I don't think i need an intervention just yet, but i am on the phone with you, and i am at the grocery store for over 1 hour, and i only needed to pick up garlic bread, you may want to come join me... that means it is a good day for trolling!

Ps: if the hot guy in the blue baseball cap that was in the store on Sunday night, picking out milk is reading this, call me..

Dinner guest

I had a dinner guest last night. A man. A cute man. A cute sick (as in having a cold type sick) man. A cute hungry man that ate my chicken soup. It was nice having a guy over for a change. We talked, ate soup, and cupcakes and then i sent him home with more soup and some cupcakes. End of story :-)

Iron Cupcake Cranberry

Ohhh its so good... My latest edition the the cupcake arsenal Sparkling Cranberry Vanilla Champagne Cupcake, with a butter cream frosting. Yummy. Lets hope this one brings home the gold. The cranberries are slightly sweetened, and when you bite into it the champagne dances on your tongue. This is sure to be a Holiday party hit! For me champagne is instant happiness. This cupcake is a party all in its own! My cupcake is being entered in the Iron cupcake challenge online, so i need all of my supporters (you) to vote for me! I have the chance to win some really great prizes. A cupcake queen doll by Lolipop workshop, a cupcake piture by Cookie Sunshine, The most ridiculously cute apron from Sweet Cuppin cakes Bakery and Cupcakery supply, and lst but not least an official picture from Cakespy... i woul love to get my hands on one of those! I will let you know as soon as voting is underway. And you thought your duty to vote was over after Nov 4th...

ITs getting to be that time...

I love the holidays. I love the decorating, the overeating until i have to make myself puke so i can fall asleep, because if i don't i fear suffocating myself with my own stomach.... Oh and the family... Oh yes the family! I cant even tell you how entertaining it is for me to find out just how dysfunctional families can be. Now i do have the right to laugh about it because my family if FAR from normal. But what brought this post on is this... Now is the count down to when i see my family. So now is the time that they are calling my and texting me and trying to see how our part of the family is doing... Now to you, this may seem nice and sweet and normal, but to me, i know better. No, no no, they are digging up dirt to use on one another and trying to get the "award" of who has stayed in touch and knows what is going on with us (me) most "award". Ahhhh it is so entertaining. Oh and the best is the question of so... any men in your life? ALWAYS, Always does me being single have to be a topic of holiday conversation. I can hear it now. " Well why are you single?" "Your such a catch"... ok... so really if i knew why i was single do you think i would be single? HELLO! No i wouldn't. oh but my fave one is this.. " oh be glad your single i have to pick up your uncle's underwear because he is so lazy, he doesn't do anything, let me tell you men are useless, all they do is eat, shit, and watch tv.." Yes intriguing! i know... they ask me why i am single and tell me that there is someone out there, then in the same breath bitch to high heaven about their other half, and tell me why i should stay single.. Thanks but I do a great job of staying single on my own, i need no help in that department. And BTW i really am a-ok with being single during the holidays i have my eggnog and dog to keep me warm... Bring on the brandy!

Just to make you jealous...

I slept in until 10:30, baked Cranberry Champagne Cupcakes with butter cream frosting, and got the premiere issue of the New Food Network Magazine ( it is fabulous!). Today is a VERY good day...

Just say no

So... after a few convos and some unsolicited advice i have hung the thought of making a go at it with the smoker back on the wall... When i took my feelings out of it, and looked at the interaction between the two of us from someone Else's view, it was so easy to see that it would never work. Now Not saying that i was ready to truly take the plunge to see if we could possibly try dating again, or even knowing for sure if it was an option, i think that i am ready to give it up. We are better off as friends. It is so easy to fall back on something that was once comfortable, but it not what i should have to settle for... Now please if i try to venture down this road again remind me of this smart day that i am having...

What are these people thinking????

Having much free time at work these days, i have resorted to surfing for Sweet Kicks Shoe store related web material, as a good Manager should :-) But anyways, it brought me to the Shepherd Express Best Of Milwaukee 2008... Oh lord... who are the people that vote for the best of???? They are off their rockers!!! The Best shoes store was listed as Mr Shoe... he he he i cant even be mad because it is so funny to me. Now yes he does sell shoes... but really??? the best in Milwaukee. Come on people you cant be serious. Yes sure, if you are looking for stripper shoes and pleather, this is your place. But i find it funny that the runners up were DSW and Goldi's... ahhh comical for me today! The best part about this whole article is not even the shoe part... it is everything else that was voted best. They voted McDonalds as having the best fries... did a 5 year old fill out the ballots. But this is the kicker...The best wing place was BW3's WTF!!!!!! Not even close. Now as most of you know i am a freak about wings... and BW3's is good if you are in a bind with no other wing place to stuff your face, BUT THEY ARE NOT MILWAUKEE'S BEST. Milwaukee's best wings are as follows... #1 Barnacle Buds #2 Palomino #3 Points East and 4th runner up... Elsa's Nowhere in there is there room for BW3's. Now please don't take this as i am a sore loser that my store did not win... not NOT at all, it is just the funny fact that Pizza man was voted for the best wine selection... personally i would have picked one of the 5 wine bars we have here in town for the category, but hey that's just me...

enough is enough

So in loo of not being able to change things i am throwing up the white flag. I have been in a constant mental battle this week and i have decided to give up and get over it. I would like to apologize to (you know who you are) for stressing out and possibly ruining that fun you might be having. So i say screw it. If you cant beat em join em. I will dress pretty, put a smile on my face, and raise my cocktail and toast... after all this is all supposed to be fun right? Fyi diet starts now... this dress is snug

Have you ever....

Have you ever wanted to vent about something so bad that it is eating you up inside, but know that if you do it would be bad... really bad? That is how i feel right now, or all day. Yeah oh i want to talk but i can't. Its almost worth driving far far away, stopping in a po' dunk town in a creepy old bar where old men are sitting and playing cards, and buy a round of $1.50 tap beers and talking until my heart is content... Yeah that sounds good. At least it might escape that reality of when i went to the bathroom this morning and almost drank out of the cup that my grandmas dentures were in....

Just imagine...

... the most annoying person in your office. Now multiply that by 4 and add a power trip and what do you get??? My shoe store clientele today. I think i might just go home and cry. ugh i dont know what was in the air today but these people are killin me. A woman continued to ask me 4 more times if i could get her a certain boot, after telling her the company not just us but the company is out of stock. No Lie. this is after the lady that reminded me of Winona Judd came in. Now i dont personally know Winona but if i did this lady seem to be a lot like her. She was a 14 year old stuck in a 50 year olds body. her favorite word was LIKE. Like , like you know like, like, right like. AHHHHHHHH... Oh and to frost the cake, 2 of my shoe vender's lost my fall order. There has got to be a happy ending to this day or i might lose it. And by losing it i mean you can find me at the end of a bar enjoying a martini ignoring everyone and everything around me. I was happy just laying in bed this morning... i never should have got up. Martini here i come

my latest obsession..

I CANT stop thinking about this outfit from last nights episode of THE HILLS. It was the White t-shirt with the high-waisted black skirt. AHHH! i want it.... if only my boobs were smaller, so the shirt would look normal and that i didnt look so top heavy that people would think im about to tip over... love love love LC oh and Lindsay Price aka Victory ford.... i cant even stand it how much i love her style on lipstick jungle... FYI

Note: couldnt find a pic of laurens outfit... but i will

The irony...

I a few situations that i have recently stumbled upon, i found things a little shall i say ironic. Why is it that when people are in the wrong are they sooo adamant on proving they are right to the point of being just down right mean and rude? Really i am sure that you all have come across this a few times, and to me that is a few times to many. Take for example. So a woman came into the store yesterday and bought boots, and tights. Now she new she was going to buy the tights, so she slipped them on, not all the way but she was wearing them to try on boots and shoes. Well today i get a call that she is very dissatisfied with the fit of the tights and want to return them. GROSS!!!!!!! Ok as a women i think that buying tights is a gamble. They may fit, they may not... but in the end we know that you dont try to return them with flaky legs skin on them!!!! Oh yes!!! flaky leg skin, and she wants to return them. Now i explained to her our return policy and that it is unsanitary to resell tights that have been worn. Then she tells me that she did not wear them. WTF, lady i was there the whole time i was selling you shoes... you were wearing them!!! But she was adamant on returning them... no way Jose! So she insulted me by saying i have no authority to change policy so she wanted me to talk to the owners. Listen.... now i was pissed. Who tries to return tights....??? seriously. She can afford to just buy a bigger size.. that's all I'm saying. So I'm sure that i will be blessed with her presence yet again by the end of the day. Hooray for me. I'm sure i will be needing a cocktail upon her exit... People when you are wrong you are wrong... don't make someone Else's life hell because you are too scarred to admit something or don't want to apologize for being an ass! Ironic dont you think? Knowing your wrong but still having to prove you are "right"... hmmm

Justin Bobby?

I can't help but wonder lately if The Smoker is my Justin Bobby? I know i know, what did i get myself into now???? After having a drunken conversation with Sundance during election night the smoker has been on my mind... So i went out to dinner with him last night. We or should i say i had a great time, i have no idea of his thoughts on the evening. it was really nice. Din din was great but i kept feeling like he was not present, like his mind kept wondering. it was a little odd. I am so comfortable around him normally but it felt a little weird last night. Not that he was stand-offish, but he was a little distant. Hmmmm i am probably looking too far into this, but i have nothing else to do so i will. It was just kinda weird. Like he wanted me there, but did not really engaged. I stayed over, and no NOTHING HAPPENED. Absolutely NOTHING. NOTHING not even a little cuddle or anything. So weird... hmmm. Oh and Earlier this week we were texting back and forth and he asked me if i was going to come down to his condo in Florida when he goes down. First of all it was hard enough to nail down a night to go to dinner with him let alone assume that i am invited to join him in Florida. I dont understand him. ugh... its like he thinks i have espn... he he he i had to add that joke. But really, i cant read his mind, i dont know what he is thinking but to me it seems like he thinks i should. Sundance made a very great point... what is the point of putting myself through this craziness all the time with him. For god's sake... its been 2 years since we broke up and i am still being emotionally tortured by this animal! ok that is a little harsh :-) not tortured, What do i do???? is he my Justin Bobby? Is he bad for me and i just need to stop? Blah Blah Blah... This all started when he texted me that he had a baby and a baby mamma. Not funny. Not even close to being funny. but then again what should it matter to me what he does, we're not together. Right... he did say something last night that i just thought of now and i am not sure how to take it. he said that he thought it was funny that he said he was having a baby. i told him it was not and that i did not like it one bit, then we went on talking and he said something about that he "talks" to people. talking as in talking to the home depo guy or talking as in girls. Is something fishy going on here beside my dinner of catfish last night?

Im going to go ape shit in 2 seconds....

Ok so this has been an on-going irritation for a while now. We have a "window washer" come do our windows. I will call him Crackhead. So crackhead drives me absolutely nuts. He has these episodes where he just walks into the store yelling at me. Then the next time he is nice, then back to his yelling. Now i try to give him the benefit of the doubt by letting him do our windows, but really i can't even stand him anymore. I pay him $7.50 to do the windows. It should normally take about 10-15 min to do the windows. He started 25 min ago and is stopping to take a cigarette break...... WTF... he drives me mental... now he just lied to me...

oh, and GO vote
