Friday Confessional

It is time to slide into the confessional and let it all out again.  Mamarazzi is on a blog break so they are linking up over at High Heeled Love.  Come on, you know you have  stuff to get off your chest!

:)   Naughty – Oh I have been a really bad girl this week….yes really bad.  I went and got myself involved in one of these time wasting, online games.  On Facebook.  I am so darn stuck in FarmVille2 that when I’m out running errands I have this nagging thought in the back of my brain that I might have forgotten to harvest something and will return to a field of withered plants.  It is just pathetic, I know.  They are just computer pixels, not real fruits and veggies, yet I let this eat at me.
:)   I didn’t care – Okay, I confess.  The Cincinnati Reds were in the baseball playoffs…and I did not give a flying frog’s butt.  Really.  I am a hometown girl, I love my city and our teams, but it is October.  WHY is the baseball season so long now??  It used to be long over by now didn’t it?  Sorry but it is FOOTBALL season now, I don’t care anymore about baseball, those are the boys of summer.  I also wasn’t the least bit surprised they choked and blew it in the final game yesterday.  And I just didn’t care.

:)   Meat – as in deer, ground venison.  My son got his first deer of the season and brought his mama a few pounds.  It is going to be mixed into my now famous, black bean chili.  I will use both the venison and ground round, but not going to tell anyone around here in the Diva Den.  They’ll only know if they read this today.  But bet me they will forget by the time I get around to making it.  Waaahaaaahaaaaa……

:)   Over Indulgence – I’m using donating blood today as an excuse to over eat.  Cannot have me passing out and hitting floor, right?

Saturday Morning Coffee Musings…

YAWN…S-T-R-E-T-C-H…Finally I had a good night’s sleep!  Been struggling with that insomnia thing again but last night I crashed, early and hard, and woke up refreshed :)

First let’s just clear up the football issues.  The Cincinnati Bengals have always been my #1 team.  They were established when I was a little girl and my daddy watched them and we were raised on them.  I love the team, always will.  When I met the former prince (ex hubby), he was living in Indianapolis, and his second team was the Colts.  They quickly became mine as well.  Fast forward 23 years, today in fact (yes, would have been my 23rd wedding anniversary) and I’ve had it with the Bengals  and the Mike Brown family.  I am sick of buying Bengal merchandise and spending money on a team that SUCKS.  The former prince got custody of the season tickets (poetic justice as someone on Facebook put it).  Last season I gave my last $1 to that team in the form of a personalized jersey with my lucky number on it. I AM SO DONE WITH THEM!!!  This is a new season and I have flipped things.  The Indianapolis Colts are now my #1 team and will get my $$$.  My personalized Colts jersey will be  here any day, with lucky number 13 on it.  I will still root for the Bengals, but only if they are not playing Indy, as the Colts are my #1  now!!! Still an Ohio State Buckeyes and UC Bearcats fan!

Yes, as mentioned, today would be my 23rd wedding anniversary to the former prince charming.  One year ago, on 8/4, the divorce was final.  Just shy of the 22nd anniversary.  I  could go into a lot of things but just don’t feel it…the pain is gone, the  wounds have all healed over, I moved on and I am HAPPY now.  Happier than I ever was, with someone incredible and new.  I am way down the rails away from that train wreck now and so thankful for it.  Though I must admit  my plans for this  evening’s full moon are kind of amusing to be taking place on my former anniversary of the marriage that is now dead.

Plans for this evening:  Full moon, moon light tour of one of the local cemeteries.  The Spring Grove Cemetery‘s 5th Annual Moonlight Tour.  I cannot wait!  We will be touring the Civil War section, as that is the tour we signed up for tonight.  But surely you can see the irony, touring a cemetery on the anniversary of the dead wedded bliss? Yeah, I found it highly amusing but then I am warpped enough that I wanted the divorce to be final on our anniversary.  I’m kinda ‘sick’ that way as far as my sense of humor rolls.

Tomorrow I will spend  with The Count.  Headed to the Cincinnati Museum Center to tour and  see the Omnimax/Imax show, Tornado Alley.  Not sure what else but frankly we could sit and do nothing, as long as we’re together, and I’d be happy just being with him.

I had a nice surprise this morning, I received another blog award, so a post about that will be coming up later today.  I have a whole day to myself to do things I need to get finished, so I’ll be making good use of it by preparing some blogs to post this coming week.  My daycare business increases by one this week so I will be very busy during week days and not have the time to write that I am used to having.  I also need to kick up the Avon business a notch so I am taking advantage of the  free time today to  get the writing portion of my life caught up.  Hmm…and some hooking (crochet) and reading later if there is time.

But first…more coffee!

A Walking Germ Party

I’m sick.  REALLY sick.  Sadly I fear it may be the flu, but I’m holding out hope it will just be one kick ass cold.  Every part of my body hurts, my head is full of nasty shit and I’m rolling through a box of tissues a day.  I had SO thought for sure this was a bad allergy attack the past few days.  Heck I even felt GOOD yesterday.  But no, today it is fever, sore throat, aches, pains, sniffles, snot,  and sleeping.

Being sick in the Diva Den, if one has to be sick, rocks.  Women being nurturers immediately start taking care of you.  Diva Mom insists that I need to see the doctor tomorrow but I’m fighting that. Told her I wasn’t going too, she said yes I was, I said you cannot make me, and Diva Jeanne pipes in and says “I’ve got $50 on Grandma”.  The little traitor!  Diva Boo made me a snot-rag bag for putting used tissues in so I could just sit still and not have to keep getting up to go to the trash can.  Diva Mom brought home some Alka Seltzer Plus, which I swear is the best stuff around for getting one back up and moving.   I also took Mucinex DM, which has helped control the flow of crap out of my head and the resulting cough.

I have slept all day, relocating once to the floor of the family room before going back to bed.  I had hoped to watch the Browns kick the Steelers ass but that game wasn’t on here, so was watching Baltimore and New England, which I found surprising that Baltimore was doing such a great job.  I usually cheer for anyone playing the Browns, Ravens or Steelers as they are division rivals.  So watching the Ravens holding there own against the Patriots was interesting. I gave up and went to bed, just feeling way too crappy to stay awake.  Diva Mom drugged me up and I crashed.  Don’t ya love when a fever breaks? Sweating like I’ve been laying in the hot sun all day without a beer in sight, and the nightmare that always seems to accompany the fever breaking.  Sucks but I DO feel a bit better.

While under the influence of the meds I figured it was wise to finally eat something so while I’m inhaling this sandwich I figured  I’d blog a bit.  But I’m not long for this world, going to be curling back up in my bed with my teddy bear here very soon.  I really wish I had a TV in my room, I hate missing the games.  Not that I’d have seen much, I’ve slept so much, but still would be nice.  Okay, time to take my germ party back to my bed and get some more rest. OH the joy of being ill, BLAH.

Okay readers/visitors, can YOU determine which 2 are truths and which one is the lie? Leave your guesses in the comment section, then stop back next Thursday when I will let you know what is true and what is fictitious!

1. I LOVE liver and onions!  Slap some fresh peas next to it on the plate and we have DINNER baby!

2.  My sport of choice to participate in growing up was track.  I ran track for 2 years, though I never was any good at the long distance, I was a sprint runner.

3.  My favorite TV  show of all time, that will pull me away from the computer and onto the couch is CSI:NY.  I think Gary Sinise is sexy as hell and everything stops when that show is on my TV!

Okay, which is the lie and which are the truths? YOU tell me!
