Life's Tough... Get A Helmet!

This is my new favorite line! It is a quote from an interview article I read in Vogue Magazine. Believe it or not, it was a quote from Jennifer Aniston. I can't believe that I am quoting Jennifer Aniston. Not that I don't idolize her. I loved the show Friends and I have seen a lot of her movies. I also read People magazine and US Weekly, but I only read it bi-weekly. They give me all the good gossip. This stuff is so addicting.

I remember when I was younger I started watching daytime soaps and I was like 5 years old. My grandmother was working and she relied on me to watch her soap (Days of Our Lives) and then she would call me to get a complete update on what happened. I would give her the play by play of the episode. No wonder my life has so much drama! When I got a little older, maybe 10, I loved General Hospital. I remember when Luke and Laura got married. Oh and the Casidines, they were going to freeze Port Charles. Now, that was good stuff. I also was very into All My Children and One Life To Live. The best is that they came one right after the other. That was three hours of my life 5 days a week that I was ensconced with drama. I was so ensconced that I would start to think about their problems at night. I would think to myself, "That Gabrielle, she is really going to get herself into trouble." I would actually worry about their problems. As if I didn't have enough of my own to worry about. I finally decided that I couldn't watch soaps anymore. I gave em up. I had a lot more free time. Not sure that I did anything productive with it, but I wasn't worrying about Erica and her daughter Bianca. What great soap names. Remember it was very fashionable to name your kid a soap name. All those Ericas and Biancas and Blakes running around. I wonder if they lived up to their soap?

I guess I started thinking about all this because it's been a rough couple of weeks. I was really feeling sorry for myself for a while there. I got into quite a funk. Maybe that's a good time to watch soaps. Start watching a soap your life starts to seem normal, simple even. But I won't get sucked back in!

Life's tough... get a helmet!

What's A Girl To Do?

My boss professed his love to me the other night. Well, he told me that he had a crush on me, but then went on to say a lot more. Like, how he wanted us to have a relationship and how he could visualize himself with me. Now, mind you, he is married, unhappily, as I came to know. I wasn't really sure how to respond to him. I mean, he is my boss. I didn't want to insult him, but I didn't want to give him the idea that I was interested. The crazy thing is, he said he wanted to have a relationship with me, but that he didn't want to get divorced. I actually take that as an insult. Do I look like a "mistress"? I told him that I have admiration for him and that I really do enjoy talking with him, but it doesn't go beyond that. He didn't take it well. Things are very weird at work now and I'm not sure what is going to happen. This is not the first time this has happened to me. Actually, it has happened several times in my past. I wonder if I am putting something out there. I just have a very outgoing personality and I think it can be taken the wrong way. My ex used to say, "If you are nice to a guy they think you want to sleep with them." I used to think that was absurd, but know I am starting to think that he may be right on. A part of me feels really bad for my boss. I mean, it took a lot of courage to say what he did, but he also put me in a bad position.

So what is a girl to do?

Happy Almost St. Patty's Day!!!

Well, it's almost here! St. Patty's Day, the day I can wear bright green and not feel like I'm trying to stand out. I love green. It's actually a really good color for me. I'm not Irish, but I have been mistaken for Irish before. Back in the day when I used to bartend at a college bar in Philadelphia, I looked forward to the mobs and the funny drunk people, and the fights that would break out at the end of the night, right after last call. We had these huge bouncers. One of them we called Big "E" which was short for Eric (no pun intended). My ex used to call him "Grape Ape" cause he was so dark that he was almost purple. Only my ex could get away with calling Big "E" Grape Ape to his face. Eric would just laugh. Meanwhile, he was such a sweet teddy bear. He went on to become a social worker. Anyway, I digress. It's been so long since I actually wrote something. My brain is going much faster than my little fingers can type away on my laptop. St. Patty's Day is the day we can all go out and happily get SHITFACED!! I will need it after the week I had. My dog got fixed and he is miserable and has to wear a cone around his head and work SUCKS!!!
But tomorrow is Friday!!! St. Patty's Day!! I am going to follow the rainbow to the nearest pub after work and get my drink on!!

Try this one!
