Surprise!

I’m out of here yet again.  

Yep, third trip this summer. I’ve been gone more than I have been home.  

This time I am off to D.C. where I get to be someone’s birthday surprise.

 I am taking with an extra bag to bring MN to the people I am visiting. Can't wait! 

One of many benefits of multilingualism

I think my favorite thing about being multilingual is being able to understand what people are saying when they sit/stand right next to me talking shit.

You’re right, I do look like hell. I’ve been at an airport or in a plane for the past 32 hours and I’m still not home yet. Bite me.

I’m back. Anyone miss me?
Ha!

Adbenture of the year

Leaving for a month.

Sometimes, usually late at night, it sucks to be completely alone, to not have anyone at all. However, it does give me the freedom to take off and go wherever I want, whenever I want. No one will miss me or gives a crap when I’m coming back. This year it will be India, Nepal & Bangladesh. I put some stuff in the queue and will be back the end of June.

Two all around. 
Peace. Dueces. Keep ‘em down.

Do you know ,me?

It always amuses me whenever someone says to me, “Oh! I didn’t know you can do that…”

They didn’t know I can write computer programs. They didn’t know I can fix my own motorcycle. They didn’t know I can speak six languages. They didn’t know I can sew. They didn’t know I can make delightful 9-layer tortes. They didn’t know I am an excellent marksman on the gun range. They didn’t know that I draw & paint. They didn’t know I was a black belt before I was 16.

When it comes right down to it, they, apparently, don’t know me at all. If they did, they would be more surprised if I said I didn’t know how to do something.

Energy vampires gotta go

I’m done with the selfish, greedy folks who are always asking for help whenever they have the slightest inconvenience in their lives but don’t have time for me when I need a hand. No more editing, researching, tutoring, supporting, loaning, lifting, driving, giving, or even listening. 

I’ve cut you all out of my heart and out of my life. 

Energy vampires have got to go. I don’t know you anymore.

Are you a badass?

You keep talking about what a badass alpha you are but all I ever see you do is consume and take from others. You make no contribution to the world or even the people who supported you.

You are not a wolf; you are a parasite.

And you are only fooling yourself.

Letter to the insects in my home

Dear spiders and centipedes who live in my home,

I go out of my way not to step on you. I wish you would extend to me the same courtesy.

Love,
Me

3 things make Thansgiving for me

So I ended up spending pretty much all day yesterday either lounging in a bubble bath or immersed in the book I’m devouring (surprising because I can usually read a book in less than a day). As a result, I spent much of today cooking my three Thanksgiving necessities: turkey, wild rice & sweet potato pie. I’m now trying to patiently wait for it to cool down so my fresh whipped cream (with just a splash of bourbon) doesn’t melt all over it.

Strawberry shortcake

Made strawberry shortcake. Heavy on the strawberries.  (:

I’m outta here!

One of the nice things about being completely on your own is that you can take extended vacations and no one gives a shit. I don’t have anyone complaining that I will be gone too long, that they will miss me, or that will even give a crap if I make it back at all should my complete lack of caution catch up with me one of these trips.

So, with that, I’m outta here. Most of the people who follow me on here seem to have abandoned tumblr a long time ago. There are some things in the queue for those of you who are still around. Otherwise I should be back in just under a month.

Two all around: peace, deuces & keep ‘em down.
