September 2008

Well, well well what have we here. Ladies and gentlemen take a glance over to your right where you will find a button for a little event I agreed to participate in-heck even ‘sponsor’-although I think the name is a little harsh. But yes, without further adu…Today is Official Bitch Day. Now I am hoping they asked me to play along not because they think of me as a BITCH (as in the NOUN) but rather because I have been known to, bitch about a thing or two. Although I limit myself people. ALOT.

Okay so what are we gonna complain about today? How about this little phrase that I keep hearing over and over again. “Well, you can’t really complain since they are only volunteers. Whaaa? See here is the thing folks. When you agree to accept a volunteer job-weather it be team mom, coach, red cross, bingo leader…WHATEVER. You are agreeing to do THE JOB as it needs to be DONE. You are not agreeing to do the job as good as you feel like it. You are not agreeing to do only the parts of the job that are fun. You are not agreeing to do the job until you change your mind. YOU are volunteering to do the WHOLE darn job for the whole darn time. So do it WELL. Give it YOUR BEST. I don’t care if you are getting paid or not. Do the darn job LIKE you are getting a million dollars a day okay? Don’t let us all down. And I promise when I take a volunteer position I won’t let you down either. K?

Back to you the regularly non-bitchy blog now. Whew. That actually felt good ya know?

Adtalk: The trade-off

Naomi fretted over what to wear to her in-laws dinner party for weeks. Eventually settling on a white ‘Marilyn-esque’ number in chiffon. She added the hot pink heels at the last minute when the strap to her silver sling backs broke while she was putting them on. Naomi had never been to the Palm Springs [...]

Waiting for the rainbow.

  I woke this morning to a sudden and unexpected rain shower. It only lasted a few minutes. Just long enough to get everything wet and then it passed. It left behind a lovely rainbow. I also started my day learning that the bailout plan was rejected and the stock market tanked…..perhaps one was a metaphor for [...]

My date…

Last week I had breakfast with a great guy. I really do like this guy. He is a little quiet, but always has time to listen. He has the craziest hair but wears it well. When we walk he is always right beside me and sometimes he goes a little ahead to check things out [...]

Your comments on comments…please.

Come one everyone grab a cup of coffee and gather around. I wanna have a little chat. Today I would like to talk about something we rarely address. But I feel it is time to get it out in the open. What is it you ask? “Comment Pressure” and the accompanying “Comment Guilt”. In the [...]

Is it Just me? The art insanity….

Today my “Is it just me?” column at Blissfully Domestic is discussing the insanity of keeping all the kiddies art: “I know I know- every swinging thing your kid brings home from art-time at school is a masterpiece. Every single paint splatter shows amazing potential. Its ‘abstract’ you say to your friends and family as [...]

I know why Mona Lisa is smiling….

In the summer of 1992 I was lucky to take my second trip to Europe. I went with a group of students, retired people and my religious studies professor from CSUF. He had organized an entire trip from England to Paris to Italy to Switzerland and all the places in between. I had convinced my [...]
