Show Me The Funny!
Okay, okay. So I've been missing from this little space of mine for quite some time.......In the fast moving blogosphere, abscence for months can be a form of cosmic suicide......Not my intention, but some times? Suicide takes (on) a life (or blog) of its' own...
Okay...back story... you are entitled to that, oh dear, and faithful reader.....
I, mysuestories, queen of all that is important.....the most irreplacable, all omnipresent woman to have graced this earth: I have been cast aside from my "family"..... That's right....they who have purported to love, nurture, and support me through the years have turned a very cold shoulder to me......They have exiled me from those I was closest to, severed all bonds (and stocks, too!!!), and more importantly, cut me off financially.....all this, and with not so much as a reason, other than "this is unpleasant for all of us".....
Yeah, well, a little more unpleasant for ONE of us, I assure you.....
And, no, before my dear father thinks that my hubby and kids have given me the boot, and I am about to show up on his door step with my belongings shouting "I'm hommmme...." ala Jack Nicholson in The Shining.......I am NOT divorcing, seperating, or being shunned ala the Amish..... (ok, Dad, I get the leap.....it's not like it hasn't happened before.....---although to date? I have yet to be shunned.......but the day is still young....)
Nope....None of the above...I, mysuestories, have been canned from a job I have held (HAD held?) for over 20 years......Pink slipped...let go....tossed aside....kicked to the curb......or, my all time favorite.........."laid off due to down sizing"----- meaning exactly what? Had I been laid ON the sizing of the down would have occurred in a different position ( get it? laid...down.....position.....?- Yea, I know...it's been a while since I posted...I'm working out a few writer's kinks here....)
Anyway...so here I am....mysuestories, master of.......well, this little blog here, and quite frankly, you nine (ok, ok,....seven) followers are the only audience I've got......(besides one tired-of listening-to-me-hubby, and 3 kids who ignore me whenever possible----and a couple of really good friends (okay...ONE) One really good friend who is getting really tired of listening to me....(psst----friend? my phone number hasn't changed...just saying...)
Anyway, I am just putting this out there...do you twelve (ok, ok.....nine......what?....fine.....seven) followers care to continue the exploits of mysuestories in her new position as a stay at home mom? Granted, a stay at home mom for a family that is not home all day...(not a BAD gig if you can get it!!!!!)
Follow me through my new trials (not COURT trials...I hope.) But come along as I traverse this new world of no where to be at 6 am, no 2 hour daily commute in lousy weather, no kids that want me unoccupied enough to wonder what the f@*k they're doing all day, no hubby that needs me spending $$$ all day long, oh...and the vodka......Jeez....every day is Friday.......Yes......Join me in the search for my new niche.......Obamanomics? I don't know about that.....but since I've been laid off? Ive learned a little about the stock market.....right now? Invest in Three Olives...........That's all I Got to say about that......

Old Friend (Grey Goose) Meet the New Friend OR Where's Everybody Going?
The Mountain Man and I had the unique opportunity to spend a week with a collection of his friends that have the distinct pleasure of not knowing me all that well. (Read- that means they still like me. By default, maybe, but they like me! They really like me!)
Anyway, half way through our little getaway, we (ok, ok, mostly me...geez...) may have spent a few evenings indulging in adult liquid libations.....It was an all inclusive..and if you know my Mountain Man, you know how he enjoys getting his money's worth....So, this one evening, I may or may not have single handed cleaned out the Grey Goose supply at this one particular on-site bar....(Puh lease...I am sure I was not the only tourist trying to maintain good relations with France...)

Anyway, TGFA.. Thank God For Absolute........I can be very adaptable when necessary.....and our evening continued.
Fast forward next evening....Mountain Man and I arrive at the same Barrio de Alcohol Recreation (B.A.R.- for my non-espanol speaking -er, reading-amigos) and join our travel companions- IE: captive audience. I saunter up to the bar immediately...(hey, it's just a natural reflex- like chewing before swallowing---) and I request a large glass of ice water.....
Must be the humidity in those South American countries, 'cause for some reason? I was severely dehydrated all week long...go figure....
I am freshly greeted by one of my newly acquired BFF's (read- she STILL likes me, She really likes me!), and she tells me that the bar has just restocked and opened a brand new bottle of Grey Goose. I nod and say that yes, I am, in fact aware of this fact. ( I had just seen the barkeep open the fresh bottle...)
The bartender then hands me my LARGE glass of water on the rocks, and I grab it and down the entire glass (dehydration due to too much sun
fun)
New BFF looks at me in a whole new light (albeit: a dark light) and asks, " Was that Grey Goose?"
To which I, you know me..dear reader...having oh so many friends to begin with...haha...responds,
"Of course......Bar keep give me another...."
Okay...so maybe I need to work on my people skills.........
I did take the opportunity to inquire of new/soon to be ex? BFF that one nagging question that bloggers ad infinite have been dying to ask their public: Am I funny, as I surely intend to be....or do I fall on the annoying side of things....(so much for good intentions....)
To which she responded, (God Bless her honesty!), "You're funny..."she says...and my head swells considerably....And then she continues.....
"Most of the time......"
Hmmmmm....
Okay....I'll take it!
She LIKES me! She Really Likes me!
