For All the Single Gals

I know that many of you are looking for the perfect mate. And you probably have a list of qualities you want in that perfect mate. Well, let me tell you right now. Strike honestly off that list immediately! There is such a thing as being too honest and believe me…it’s not pretty!

As I mentioned I had a pretty bad cold with laryngitis on top of it. It has been a long slow comeback but I am finally back to my normal self. The other day Husband and I were talking and I mentioned I was back to normal except for not being able to sing yet. I could talk finally but trying to sing my voice would crack and leave.

All too honest Husband then informs me that “you never could sing anyway so no harm done”.

I tell you, I wanted to smack him right then and there if it weren’t so funny.

So if you are making a list for the perfect man make sure you include a good sense of humor and reliability. Those two things will get you much farther than honesty any day!

Apologies

I know I haven’t posted in a while and I am sorry. I’ve been ailing with a darned end-of-summer cold I get every year. Right now I sound like a half sick seal that ate a squeaky toy. It’s rather annoying. Rambunctious preschoolers do not like to listen normally let alone when you can not be heard more than two inches from your face!

I will have more posts once my head clears and I can put a coherent sentence together. My friend Cera would debate if I can write a coherent sentence even when my brain is functioning properly…but she is Commander of the Grammar Police. Lol (love you Cera!)

I am a fan

I’ve been a fan of the Carpenters for ages. Yes, I am old and sad. Little did I know that way back when I was listening to their songs that I would grow up to live the friggin lyrics.

The Carpenters had real feeling lyrics to their music unlike today’s crap. I can pick out points of my life and relate them to various tunes. Today the songs have no tunes and heaven forbid they have a lyrical sense. It’s all about beat and nothing else.

Anyway, I’m feeling very “Desperado” right about now. Yes, it was an Eagles song first but I relate more to Karen and her plights. And since she died for her sins I understand how desperate times can be.

I also know that if she had the chance at a normal life that she would have never succumbed to the fate she did. Once you have the child it is a mark of nature that you preserve yourself in order to preserve the child. I think she gave up honestly. I think she was in a state not so unlike I was when I went out of my box to seek help. I could have easily ended up in the box that she is in. I wonder if the impending child years from that point had an impact on my still being here. That maybe he will grow into something the world can be proud of? I refuse to think otherwise!

Only in an HMO

(copied from my other blog site, a great group of women I adore!)

You won’t believe this. I received a letter from my GYN today. He works at one of those Mega-offices with about 20 doctors of different specialties. The office is affiliated with a local hospital in the area.

The hospital has decided in its infinite wisdom that the Mega-office is too costly and is closing the doors. My Doctor is moving down the street to a new building and will still be associated with the hospital.

However, the hospital has decided that it will keep all the medical records. This means I have to call my doctor to complete a “Release of Information” so that he can get a copy of HIS OWN records from the office he is currently working in and from the hospital he is ALREADY a part of and will remain a part of!

INSANITY!
