You know the guy hitting on you is a HOBO when....


1. His dog is waiting for him outside the bar, and at times actually joins him in the bar.
2. He has a backpack.
3. When asking for your number he pulls out a non functioning cell phone... typical collecting of random found items.
4. When the cell phone clearly doesn't work, he pulls out a piece of paper and a black sharpie.
5. Instead of calling you, he wants to "come by" later...mostly because of the no phone situation and lack of housing...and money.
6. He wants to come to your house for the following purposes: to use your razor to shave, your shower to bathe and most likely your home for shelter.
7. His "story" leads you to believe he was once rich, handsome and smart.
8. His "friends" and he hang out outside "Stars and Stripes" liquor store drinking 40's, instead of on his "boat" cuz the "owner is cool."
9. Instead of buying you a beer he pulls one out of his shopping cart.
10. He is barefoot.

Okay the last two are a figment of my imagination, they did not really occur....the others however are fully accurate, but may have been embellished...slightly!

Oh dear...this momma needs to be praying for our little "sarabeara"

yea! Anyone telling me about how much money they have/had (even if they're not a bum currently) I tend to shy away from! haha I love "wingnut" that might be the best word I've heard all day...and I've heard some interesting ones (junior highers are nuts themselves!)
Dateable. yes, most are NOT and I am so not willing to settle for less than the bomb, especially for less than sheltered! yikes. Tell Chaddy hi for me :)

Here's why I shouldn't have a dog

This week I'm babysitting...a dog. Notice I didn't say dog sitting. The first time I watched her she was a puppy, an "untrained" puppy. That means she did her business all over my apartment, for an entire week. The positive reinforcement give-her-a-treat-when-rarely pooping-outside trick was not successful. Since I was teaching a two week Yoga and writing course at the time, with flexible hours, I figured the availability to come home at lunch, take her back to school with me etc would make for an easy week. False. As those of you who've followed my previous dating life have already concluded, I'm not too quick of a learner. And so, I committed to babysitting this dog again. I'm on Summer break, why wouldn't I have a dog with me...all day long? One that is no longer under 20 pounds especially. In the past 24 hours I've decided I should NEVER have a dog because of the following reasons: 1. The noise created by said dog chewing a bone makes me wa...

Mind Blowing

Just go reheat that coffee for GOODNESS sake! Me reminding myself to try to enjoy life a little. This is a rough time. And I could start a post with those three sentences any Friday of the year, but particularly right now...this is a rough time. The struggle (sometimes TOTAL struggle, depending on the hour and minute) of staying home is of MINOR importance during a time like this, during any time really.  Let's get REAL, for most of us, life is good.  Really good. There are families suffering right now, and not just the elderly members of them. I won't go off on how frustrating it is to hear people lessen the severity of this because it's "just affecting older people." That's 1. Incorrect and 2. Unbelievably disrespectful *If you're lucky enough to have a Grandma or Grandpa still, or anyone in your life that's old enough to be considered "old" be thankful, then CALL them and check in. NOW. The current swing of Social Media o...

Playa hatin'...a harsh reality

This seems like an oddly serious post to be writing from the couch, with "My Blue Heaven" on in the background. I don't deny my love for Steve Martin and 80's films. I'm normally serving cocktails at this hour on a Sunday night but I came home a little early on account of a terrible tummy ache! Not sure if it's the flu that's going around or the cajun fries Pepe the cook gave me. Whether those babies were the cause or not...they were nonetheless a bad idea. The other option for this ache could be a case of the nerves, another meaning for "upset stomach" if you will. I'm a little upset over a few things. There are times when things go on around you (which have nothing to do with you-and by "you" I mean me) and somehow they still really get to you, to the bottom of your heart. I'm not sure if there is rhyme or reason to it, but at times that these very things which have nothing to do with your life can get you so, so upse...
