Wednesday Whatevers
1. Should somebody be your enemy if they are your parents' enemy? Why?
It depends. If I know why a person is my mom's enemy I might consider not be friendly to that person. However, my mom tends to hold grudge for-ever. There's a woman who did something to her sometime in the mid-70s and she still doesn't like her. I don't know what it was and, personally, I don't care. Maybe it's wrong for me not to care, but I don't. This woman is the nicest, sweetest woman and she's always been wonderful to me.
2. Why do you answer memes?
There aren't many I answer regularly. I look at the questions every week, and if the questions intrique me and I feel they give some insight into who I am, I answer them.
3. Do you use net slang or type correctly?
Most of the time I answer correctly, but idk sometimes when I'm lazy I use slang.

Stupid People
Definitely not a lack of 'em in this town. Case in point: This is a conversation I had with a guy a few minutes ago. (I was walking. He was driving.)
Guy: Excuse me ma'am, can you tell me where the new restaurant is?
Me: Which new restaurant?
Guy: Well, you're no help at all.
Me: There are three restaurants that I consider new. If ya give me a hint, maybe I could help you.
Guy: I saw it in the paper.
Me: (thinking: all 3 were in the paper in the last couple of weeks) Well, let's try this one. There's one on Main Street called The Lunch Box. Sound familiar?
Guy: It's not the Mexican place is it?
Me: No. (thinking: The Lunch Box/La Herradura. Sounds pretty similar.)
Guy: Where is it?
Me: Main Street. Keep driving to the STOP sign at Davis Street. Take a right. Go to the first traffic light. Take another right. It's next to the movie theater.
Guy: On Davis Street?
Me: No. Main Street. Next to the movie theater.
Guy: Which movie theater?
Me: You don't live here, do you?
Guy: Yeah, just around the corner.
Me: (thinking: You freakin' moron! You're two freakin' blocks away. Go look for it!)Go to Main Street. You can't miss it.
That wasn't enough to ruin my day though, because
1. I walked 5 miles before 10 a.m.
2. I lost another pound (114 all together now. Yay me!)
3. Dinner with Steve is less than 4 hours away!
4. I don't have to work today.
5. I got a thank-you note for a story I wrote for today's paper.

Quizzes
I should be out walking but it's just too humid. One of the things I miss about Bakersfield is it was very rarely humid there. (It's the desert, duh!) I just walked to the mini mart around the corner to buy a Lime Diet Coke & I was sweating so much I felt as if I walked 5 miles. So, the real walk is going to have to wait 'til the sun goes down. In the meantime, I'm doing quizzes. I haven't done any in ages so maybe it'll be fun.
You have a dominant kiss- you take charge and make
sure your partner can feel it! Done artfully,
it can be very satisfactory if he/she is into
you playing the dominant role MEORW!
What kind of kiss are you?
brought to you by Quizilla
regular, plain old sex-- boring to some, yet you
seem to love it. hey, do whatever pleases you!
(and of course your significant other)
What type of SEX do You enjoy?

Dreaming
I had this weird dream ... I'm sure Sylvia Browne would say it was a "wish dream." Anyway, I was at work & doing an update on a story that had been written a few years ago. There were a few quotes from Great Smile Guy (he is so quotable) in an old story I was using for background info. I didn't know if I was allowed to use the direct quotes (In the dream, I didn't know. IRL I know.) so I thought I would ask this woman who used to be the city editor. We used to be really good friends, but have since drifted apart (more fallout from the midlife crisis/nervous breakdown). She answered my question, then we started talking and it was almost like old times, and felt as if we could get back to the way things were before. That, I think, is what made it a wish dream. I miss her.

Live & Learn
I was talking to my mom the other night and started a conversation with "I know you don't like The Beverly Hillbillies so you probably won't appreciate this ..." I was telling her I was happily surprised to learn Great Smile Guy likes The Beverly Hillbillies because I didn't think he would. Don't know why. I just didn't. But I'm thrilled that he does. I may just have to introduce him to my friend Bertha Mae soon. Anyway, my mom told me she loves The Beverly Hillbillies and watches it often. How did I never know that? I should have known because Bertha Mae cracks her up. Be that as it may, I have a whole new opinion of my mom now. <3

I'm trying to be good
There's this person I went to high school with who had a crush on Steve, too. Ihate strongly dislike this person. Always have. Probably always will. I've heard rumors over the past few months to the effect that she & Steve are best friends and if he wasn't married ... blah, blah, blah. As far as I know, it's not true. I'm pretty absolutely sure he would have at least mentioned her name once in the e-mails we send each other daily. Anyway, back to my point. I've seen this person a few times since I knew Steve & I were going out to dinner. Although I've wanted to say "Hey bitch, guess who I'm going out to dinner with on Tuesday?" I haven't said a word. I decided I'd rather she find out some other way. Wouldn't want to rub it now, would I? ;)
