Let me Explain...

I AM A JERSEY GIRL.
RESIDING IN MARYLAND.
I grew up moving around every few years, however from parent to parent, house to house, it was mainly all within the twin counties (Monmouth and Ocean) of New Jersey. I never really left the 30 mile square radius. At the ass end of '06 I moved two states away to Maryland. It's nice here. I've made great friends, became accustomed to the smell of chicken shit, (OMIGOD! That horid smell- I thought I'd never get 'used' to it) and even found a job (now 2) where I can really be myself and felt comfy in. However, my heart is still in New Jersey, and no matter what you say about it, no matter how hard y'all bash New Jersey, it'll always be home. So I took my Jersey attitude, and stuck it in my back pocket so I wouldn't scare any of you (more) southern folks away. You willingly clicked on my blog - so if my jersey roots sometimes show, and you find yourself re-learning all about me in a new light, don't be surprised. I'm not saying you'll find yourself glowing green because some of my nuclear waste leaked into your head from reading my blog, just that after I learned to drive on the Turnpike, I'm not afraid to say/do anything!

3:00AM - Sudden Rush of Pain.

There I was, nestled in my bed with thoughts of tomorrow nowhere near my conscienceness, probably drooling and snoring, when I am awaken with a horrible crashing feeling that something just stabbed me in the uterus. Holy Crap! What the hell was that?

As the top half of my body shot up like a rocket, my eyes probably welling with tears from the sudden pain, I look at what sits at the bottom of my belly, and see nothing, but Thor.

Thor, the cat
jumped
from the bookcase
onto me
in the most private of areas
to make me cry
why would my loving feline friend do such a thing?


that hurt charlie. that really hurt.

New Place

As some of you may know, I have recently moved to a new place with two of my best friends. Here are some new exciting developments that have come into play:

  1. As it turns out, boys are more afraid of mice than girls. [@ least in this household.]
  2. Unfortunately, girls are more afraid of spiders. [damn, that's 1:1]
  3. Never hit the second switch... you never know what it might turn off.
  4. Gravity does not always work in our favor. Point: Just because the toilet is upstairs does not mean the poo goes down. [& honestly, does gravity ever work in our favor?]
  5. Cardboard boxes hide the mess better than taking the crap out of the box.
  6. Garbage tends to pile up when you realize that you have to pay for someone to pick it up for you.
  7. Our priorities are in check. Internet was installed first before we bought our first gallon of milk.
  8. Cats are hard to find when you are trying to keep them a secret from the landlord.
  9. When the ad says "W/D Hookup" and then the place actually comes with a washer and dryer- there is a reason why the previous owners left them here.
  10. Bringing cats from a completely carpeted apartment to a completely wood-floored house is hilarious to watch [apparently for hours].
  11. When someone moves out who already had a TV, make them take it, or else you wind up with too many damn TVs.
  12. Never take the bedroom that's next to the kitchen. (One night my room smells like popcorn, the next: hot dogs. Tonight: Spaghetti, Sauce and Italian Bread.)
  13. Backyards are only nice when you have something to put on them.... besides a lawn mower.
