What area of your life...

..would you change or eliminate?

There has never been a time in my life where everything was in sync. Something is always amiss. If work is going well, my personal relationships are in the toilet. If personal relationships are going well, I'm fighting with my family. Everything else is going well? We have neighbor issues. ALL relationships going well? The chimney needs to be repaired at the tune of $5,000 cash that we don't have.

Pick one area of your lives and change it or elimiate it.

Me first. Work. If I could quit, I would. But since I can't, I'll start with firing fuckhead TEE (and kick her in the ass on the way out the door), hire two new people to decrease the workload on my counterpart and myself.

Your turn.

Hmmmmmmmm. This is very hard for me. I'm a lot like you in the fact that nothing ever seems to be in sync.
So, pick one are of my life and change or eliminate it?
I can't really post the first thing that came to mind. Not here in public, so let me go with my second choice...
Um, no, can't go with my second choice either, not in public.
Maybe three is a charm...
Although I had a great time during my early 20s, I probably would have lessened my drug use/abuse to a more casual user. I made a lot of stupid decisions back in those days and there are some incidents that I would eliminate during that time.
Wow; I just realized that I DO have some regrets in my life. I have always said that I have no regrets but now that I think about this period in my life, I understand that there were some regrets. Hmmmm. Interesting.

*smooch*
I would come there and kick TEE's ass for you if I lived closer. Really, I would. *flexes muscles*

We share the bad karma. Or as I was lamenting last week I have a bad aura (sp??)!

I've always said the lazy, stupid people have to be happy 'cause nothing bothers them. I don't want to be stupid, lazy yea, but not stupid! So we just plug along.

All I can offer, except trading disaster stories, is a smooch!

And Carey, don't regret the past. Look how loveable you are now (unless you offed someone or something). If you did, I have a name for ya! To the POUS, this is a joke!! Please don't break my door down!!!!!!

And see, I was going to post, "alternatively, I would have Carey live closer. Not even like Kansas closer. I mean, like, two inches from me closer."

You read my mind. *sigh* We were really really meant to be. *sigh*

 
At 9:54 AM, Blogger momma said...

Dangit Tkit! Why do I have to think so hard this early in the morning? I'm with you and Carey, nothing is ever in sync.

I suppose that if I had my choice of things to change or eliminate, it would be ... nope, can't realistically think that would work. Umm...OH! I've got it. My lottery ticket tonight wouldn't be a loser, it would be the big winner. Then we could all quit our jobs!

 
At 9:55 AM, Blogger thndrkttn said...

And I suppose I should clarify, this thing should be something in your current life.

God, if we got into regrets, I would wipe would all my college years in one fell swoop.

 
At 9:56 AM, Blogger momma said...

Seriously though, as of this moment in time, I'd probably have to change my job to one I really enjoy and in doing so, eliminate quite a bit of stress.

 
At 9:57 AM, Blogger Bravie said...

Lasann, be careful if you get a knock on your door tonight. It very well could be "my people". *grin*

TK? the more we talk and get to know each other, it is quite eerie how in sync we seem to be. *smooch*

And Yay!!!! Momma is gonna hit the lottery for us. Woot.<---where did woot come from? That is such a Monsty thing to say. *snort*

 
At 9:59 AM, Blogger Bravie said...

If it is something from our current lives, I would have to go with the #1 thing that I said up there and can't put it here. *sigh*

 
At 10:30 AM, Blogger Bravie said...

TK, you've got mail.

 
At 10:49 AM, Blogger Schnookie said...

I would definitely have less animals. Definitely no dog. I love my cats and dog to death and will certainly keep them. However, if I were to do it all over again, I'd have max 2 cats and no dogs. It's very constraining when wanting to go anywhere and expensive.

 
At 11:00 AM, Blogger Bravie said...

Next time, Nookie, get snakes and fish. Much easier and cheaper. *giggle*

 
At 11:08 AM, Blogger Bravie said...

You're very difficult to please. *grin*

 
At 11:19 AM, Blogger Schnookie said...

Heh. I think the best animal for me would be the cuddly stuffed ones LOL.

 
At 11:24 AM, Blogger Bravie said...

I've been told I am full of shit. And I've been told I am an animal *grin*
Does this make me a stuffed animal?

 
At 11:31 AM, Blogger momma said...

awwwwwwwwww! Look at the cute little cuddly stuffed Carey! It's so loveable and huggable and I just wanna pick it up and hug it.

 
At 11:33 AM, Blogger momma said...

I wanna know what Carey's #1 was. Wait. That doesn't sound right. Carey, go potty and come back and tell us what your first thing on your list was.

 
At 11:34 AM, Blogger Bravie said...

*gasp* Nookie said I smell like shit. Waaaaaah. I do not smell like shit TYVM. I smell like vanilla. I always smell like vanilla. *stomps*

Thank you, Momma. At least you are nice to me unlike that mean Nookie.

#1 involves too much personal information. That's reserved for my private blog. Which I deleted. *snort*

 
At 11:36 AM, Blogger thndrkttn said...

Nookie is Nick a poop eater?

Thea has joined the ranks of the frozen poop eaters. She got caught by my husband eating in it the yard. He told her to come to the door which she did but gave him a look like "Okay Dad. Just a second while I grab the rest of my snack." The little fugger was going to bring the rest inside to finish later!

 
At 11:40 AM, Blogger thndrkttn said...

I would love to have a "Cuddly Carey" stuffed animal. I bet we could make a killing if we marketed it correctly.

 
At 11:43 AM, Blogger thndrkttn said...

I *think* #1 has to do with her secret crush on Rudy OR she's behind the Star Jones blog and just likes to torture herself for fun. No?

 
At 11:43 AM, Blogger Schnookie said...

LOL. Carey, you know I keed! *smooch*

LOL T-Kit. Yep, we have just now discovered that Nick is a poop eater. DH caught him with a mouthful of cat poop outside this past weekend. Apparently, some of the outdoor cats are using my flower beds as their private litter box *grrrrrrrrrrr*

DH let Nick run loose in the house (while the cats were corralled into the bedroom). Suddenly, I see Nick go to eat something on the dining room floor. I tell him to drop it, and surprisingly he did, for a second, and it was a piece of poop that had dropped off one of the cat's butts LOL. he picked it up again, ran into his crate with it but luckily when I said "uh huh", he dropped it and I was able to get rid of it. EWWWWWWWWW!!!!

 
At 11:48 AM, Blogger momma said...

Oh! Tkitty! That's a wonderful idea. It could come with several outfits (to be purchased seperately, of course): the lipstick lesbian Halloween costume, the tough lesbian costume, the 49er jersey and accessories, the prairie skirt ensemble, the Ann Taylor visits her friend in Bah-stahn outfit, the "I'm Horny" tshirt and cowboy hat...oh we could quit our jobs and make a million!

 
At 11:50 AM, Blogger Bravie said...

LMAO. Ya'll are very funny.
And now I wish that I was behind the STar Jones blog. How funny would that be if it was me. *snort*
Your dogs are eating Rudy bits?

And I love this whole marketing idea. I knew there would be a prairie skirt in there somewhere.

I want one where the Carey doll and Tkit doll are attached at the hip. Can we get one of those?

 
At 11:50 AM, Blogger momma said...

And after we sell lots of Stuffed Carey dolls, we can make Michelle Bingo dolls and Tkitty dolls and Monsty Dolls and....oh this could be bigger than Barbie!

Go get that sewing machine tuned up!

 
At 11:50 AM, Blogger thndrkttn said...

Man, Momma, you're quick. Love the outfit ideas. I also see one with a Dutch girl outfit comlete with braids and the wooden shoes. Dah!

Can we also make her a talking doll?

Link away, I say!

 
At 11:50 AM, Blogger momma said...

Oh yeah - I forgot to ask...can I link you?

 
At 11:50 AM, Blogger Bravie said...

Oooooh, I like the talking doll idea too. Wooo Hooo.

 
At 12:01 PM, Blogger momma said...

We can make her a talking doll. But can she have a string out of her back (or other places *snort*) to pull when she talks?

 
At 12:02 PM, Blogger thndrkttn said...

*SNORT* "string out of other places" HA!

I can see the Cuddley Carey Doll saying different phrases while she has the different outfits on.

Horney outfit saying would be "On your knees bitch!"

Ann Taylor/Boston outfit "Dahling, where did you pahk the cah?"

 
At 12:14 PM, Blogger Bravie said...

LMAO, I thought you were going to say that the Ann Taylor doll would say "Would you be so kind as to get on your knees dahling"

Ooooh, I want a Tkit doll in the dress from the post below.

And Momma's doll could yell at the rottens. LMAO

 
At 12:23 PM, Blogger momma said...

You know, I went back to the old Blowhemia album because I couldn't remember what Tkit looked like and I realized something. Tkit and Carey have similar eyes.

Now, about this Dutch doll...how do you say "Fuck Me" in Dutch?

 
At 12:26 PM, Blogger mm said...

Maybe I'm having a mid-life crisis, I don't know, but at the moment, I would change nearly every damn thing.
(except my kids)

 
At 12:27 PM, Blogger thndrkttn said...

The Dutch Girl Carey could say

"Ja! Me! Ja!" while pointing to her swami. That would of course mean that she has to be mechanical too.

Hockey Carey could be "SCORE!"

LOL at Carey with the polite Boston request :)

 
At 12:27 PM, Blogger Bravie said...

No way, Momma. Tkit has very friendly eyes. Very warm. I will admit that it was her smile that hooked me though. *grin*

Eminem? *hugs*

 
At 12:28 PM, Blogger Bravie said...

"point to her Swami" *SNORT*
That made me spit coffee all over. LMAO.

 
At 12:30 PM, Blogger momma said...

You both have very intriguing eyes. Soulful, even.

Okay, if we make the Carey doll mechanical, we're going to have to go all out. I mean, there's going to have to be a temptress outfit and vibrator in there too.

 
At 12:31 PM, Blogger momma said...

*hugs* for mm. You're too young to have a midlife crisis, sweetie.

 
At 12:40 PM, Blogger Bravie said...

Strap on Barbie. LMAO

Too young? She's 30. damn old. *smirk*

I keed, I keed. I will be 40 this year. *gasp*

 
At 12:50 PM, Blogger Schnookie said...

*strap on Barbie Carey* BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

You ladies are killing me here.

The Breezy doll must say "Ride a cowboy, save a horse"

Glowie doll must come complete with a Jared Leto BF.

The Nookie doll MUST have a banana LOL.

 
At 12:51 PM, Blogger Schnookie said...

Oh, and the Nookie doll must come with a bottle of schnaps and yell out *schnaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaps* when you pull her string.

 
At 12:51 PM, Blogger Schnookie said...

And ... *BIG BIG HUGS* for mm (even if she does want me unlinked pffffffffft)

 
At 12:55 PM, Blogger Bravie said...

LOL. And I want the Tkit doll to sing the song "Come sail away"

 
At 12:56 PM, Blogger Bravie said...

And the schnaaaaps doll must come with a groom that she can dance with.

 
At 1:03 PM, Blogger Schnookie said...

LOL. We can dress the banana up in a groom's outfit.

 
At 1:03 PM, Blogger Schnookie said...

Of course the Augie doll will come with a Keith Urban BF and when you pull her string she'll say "damn sneaky chinese".

 
At 1:05 PM, Blogger Bravie said...

*snort* you gotta stop. My coworkers want to know why I keep snorting. LMAO

 
At 1:34 PM, Blogger thndrkttn said...

What's the story behind 'Damn Sneaky Chinese'

I love the Strap On Carey Doll idea!

Hugs for the shell coated chocolate candy girl. I've had days that like.

 
At 1:41 PM, Blogger Bravie said...

Long story short on the damn sneaky chinese:
Augie (always the PC one) had to stop posting on OT and blogs at work for awhile because they were barred from going to non government sites. She said it was the damn sneaky chinese. Ever since then we blame them for everything. That's the gist of it anyhow. *giggle*

 
At 1:54 PM, Blogger momma said...

Nookie, it's Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy.

What about the Monsty Doll? Complete with a baby monstah and a White Sox cap?

 
At 1:55 PM, Blogger momma said...

The Augie Doll can have lots of flowers and warring Tom Cruise and Keith Urban Dolls.

 
At 1:56 PM, Blogger momma said...

The Coco Doll can have a English/French dictionary, hair in a tight bun and a whacking stick like in Catholic School movies.

 
At 1:56 PM, Blogger momma said...

AND! The Coco Doll will have a strap on pregnancy belly.

 
At 2:00 PM, Blogger thndrkttn said...

Ever since then we blame them for everything.

Well for Heaven's sake, don't let Glass Jax hear you say that. He'll likely to have you public flogged for 'getting his hackles up'. *snert*

 
At 2:03 PM, Blogger momma said...

Glass Jax? Is he the one with the "dancing" banana siggie?

 
At 2:16 PM, Blogger momma said...

zipperhead is a racial slur? Damn, I need to beef up on my bad language.

 
At 2:25 PM, Blogger Bravie said...

One of my first dealing with Slicey was over GassJax. He had called himself a jerk or something like that. He and I had had some batering going on and later in the thread I called him a jerk. She jumped all over me telling me how bashing was not allowed on these boards. I sent her an email telling her that I didn't appreciate her attacking me over something that she had no knowledge of. We never had another run in with each other since then. *grin*

 
At 3:00 PM, Blogger Schnookie said...

Heh! Thanks Momma. I actually saw a car with that as it's bumper sticker. Of course I thought of Breezy LOL.

 
At 3:01 PM, Blogger Schnookie said...

LMAO at the Coco doll with the removable pregnancy belly *giggle*

 
At 6:01 PM, Blogger lights said...

LMAO @ all the doll ideas! I'll jump in and say that the lightsy doll will come complete with a chainsaw to cut firewood or snowmen. And maybe a little mole hiding in the firewood.

 
At 6:04 PM, Blogger lights said...

To answer your original question, I'd say that I'd change my job. I'd be a much happier and less stressed person if I never had to see or hear Mean Jean and her spineless husband ever again.

 
At 6:45 PM, Blogger Bravie said...

But Lightsy, we love the mean jean stories.
And love the chainsaw doll. LOL
I just know that when we make our drunken snowmen, you're gonna cut off the head of mine, aren't you?

 
At 7:28 PM, Blogger lights said...

Moi? I would never do something that evil Carey. *grin*

Mean Jean is driving me completely insane lately. Normally she's only in the office until noon but for some reason she's been staying until 1:30 or 2pm the past couple weeks. She just hired accounting girl V3.0. MJ picks these new employees based on her twisted idea of what's important such as being able to type 70 wpm. Last time I checked that wasn't really a necessity for an accounting clerk.

The latest one started yesterday and this morning I gave her a lesson on how to answer the phone. We're not talking rocket science here, it's a phone with six lines and a PA system. Pretty basic stuff.

I called her about an hour later and she didn't answer. I asked one of the guys if she was in her office and he said that she was but she was just sitting there watching the phone ring as if by staring at it, the ringing would stop. She told me she thought it was an incoming call but I had told her that if I didn't get it on the first ring that she should answer it.

At lunchtime I told her that I was going to eat and that she should answer the phone. I had just taken my first bite of lunch when the phone rang. One ring, two rings, three rings. I quickly swallowed my mouthful and answered the phone. This isn't giving me a warm fuzzy feeling.

Later in the afternoon I was standing at the fax machine and the phone rang. I watched her sit there and look at the ringing phone until one of the guys finally answered it. It's like she's afraid of it!

Jean's excellent interviewing skills strike again.

 
At 7:32 PM, Blogger Bravie said...

Tell her that a prize patrol calls there randomly. And that at least once a week they give away money to whoever answers the phone.

 
At 5:18 PM, Blogger mm said...

Thanks for the smooches and whatnot. You guys are sweet. FTR, as much as it might sound like it, I'm not really drowning in self pity. Well sometimes I am. *grin* But not today!

*smooches*

*kicks Carey for saying I'm old*

 
At 5:39 PM, Blogger Bravie said...

*kicks Eminem* for being an old pity partier. *grin*

 
At 5:39 PM, Blogger Bravie said...

SWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP

 
At 9:38 AM, Blogger BlindSlim~CSTL said...

There's too many things I would have to change so I wasn't going to comment but I saw 69 posts and couldn't resist. Something about the number 69..*grin*
