A Couple of Things…

Me and Staci Brown

Me and Staci Brown

1. On my last “A Couple of Things” post I mentioned I hadn’t met Mr. Right, but that I had met Mr. Married.  Cute story really.  Mr. Married is not a Friend on my Facebook page, but I see him from time to time in the community because he is a musician.  He sat down one evening at my table and said, “I’d like to take you out to dinner,” then he added, “Once I get a divorce.”  I was speechless.  He doesn’t even know me, he’s still married and he’s lining up dates?  Ok, maybe not such a cute story.

2. Happy Birthday Staci Brown!  (See picture above)

3. You know, I thought surviving Valentine’s Day was a big deal.  That was nothing.  Try surviving Staci Brown’s birthday!!

4. Yeah Baby!  Clippers swept the Lakers 4 out of 4. That’s four burritos from my man Sergio at work.  Clipper Nation Baby!!

5. I have outlived my mother by almost 15 years.  That just blows my mind.

6. Being a civil servant in this climate is quite the challenge.  Isn’t it weird that people who choose to serve their community become targets of all things wrong with government?   A simple thank you would be nice every now and then.

7. I thought hash marks only applied to Twitter #DumbAsses

8. I can’t roll my R’s.  I really suck at being mexican.

From my Favorite Facebook Posts file:

“The biggest coward is a man who awakens a woman’s love with no intention of loving her.”  I was surprised and grateful it was a man who said this, and a very cool one:  Bob Marley.

1. No, I haven’t met Mr. Right yet, but I have met Mr. Married, Mr. Crazy, Mr. I’m-old-enough-to-be-your-father, and, Mr. I’m young-enough-to-be-your-son;  all, by the way, very nice men.

2. I’m a sucker for babies, puppies and Lemon Drop martinis.  Not necessarily in that order.

3. I have recently been invited to a friend’s home for an intimate dinner for eight where dinner will be served by firemen.  Have I mentioned that I love my friends?

4. Looking back and sharing some stories with Sydney from time to time, I know that I am one lucky son-of-a-bitch.  I survived my youth!  I did some really stupid
things…95% of which still makes me smile.

5. My email was hacked this week.  Bastards! Looks like they sent out an email from me to anyone and everyone I have ever emailed or replied to before.  So
they didn’t email to just my Contacts List.  I really tried to send out a warning email to not click on link.  Sorry about that!

6. On the up-side, it was nice to hear back from people I hadn’t corresponded with in years!

7. Okay, now it’s getting ridiculous; I’m not even allowed to speak during the Vampire Diaries.  Like they’re going to miss some trite dialogue that will alter the course of history or something.

8. Is there really such a thing as a GOOD cry?  I’d rather just be happy.

9. The only celebrity that I couldn’t look in the eye when I met him was Gavin Rossdale from Bush.  He was one good looking man!  Which leads  to my next item…

10. Matt Cooper, may he Rest in Peace, made it a quest to get me to say “I love Bush” on-the-air.   Of course he was referring to the band.  He was trying to record it and use it as a  “drop in” during his morning show to be taken completely out of context… Yeah, he was devious that way.  You had to love him!

11. From my “Favorite Facebook Posts” file:   “It’s OK to disagree with me.  I can’t force you to be right.”

This photo is of myself and Tina Bettiol, my old roommate when I lived in Fullerton.  This is in my dad’s backyard in Whittier, CA, on the 4th of July.  I think we were around 23 years old.
