Just Say It

Kimberly — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 02:59:10 +0000

My dear friend, one that has been on the receiving end of my brutal honesty quite a few times, said this to me yesterday right out of the heavenly blue sky:

“Kim, so, um…do you think I should change my voice mail message?’

“Huh?”

“Because-I-think-you-should-change-yours.”

She said the last line in such a rapid fire manner that, if I weren’t gasping in a fit of asthmatic laughter, I would have thought she was sure I’d beat her with a set of brand new wire hangers for telling me such news.

Hello friend? You have a camel toe in those jeans? Those sunglasses make you look like a redneck? Yeah, you’re allowed to be honest with me especially when you think my new business voice mail message sounds like I have just been punched in the stomach.

That is all.

I almost missed it. I got so caught up in the excitement that I forgot to celebrate my 1 year anniversary. It was one year ago yesterday, Election Day 2008, that I quit smoking cold turkey. Yes, I miss it and yes, I am a few pounds heavier but every time I am weak I remember how cancer took away one of my dearest friends. I recall the day I chose to break the nasty habit and I think, “Yes, I can.” One day at a time, one month at a time…and now it has been a whole year.

Happy Anniversary to my lungs.

The excitement I got caught up in is big news, too. I am now a contributor here.

My subject matter? Teen and Tweens.

Yes, the mother fucking Washington Times.

I’m looking at it as a reward…

What Would They Tell Us?

We’ve all wondered it at one time or another…

What would my pet say if they actually could talk?

Well, I’ve got the next best thing. Follow me.

Win Tickets to See the Dog Whisperer!

No, I am not kidding you but let’s not put the cart before the horse. We need to talk about this. First and foremost, my animals have issues.

I have a 3yr old 150 pound Great Dane that squats when he goes out to pee. And when you let him back into the house, he wags his tail so hard that he breaks it open and leaves slashes of blood down my white hallways. Also? He poops on the driveway when the grass is wet. Have you seen a pile of Great Dane poop? This is a problem.

My other dog, Kasey, a 12 yr old rescued mutt, is well behaved for the most part. On bad days, she’ll try to dig holes in my leather couch and, oh yeah, she eats money as well as checks if you leave them out. She will forgo the bills and the magazine but eat your $20 birthday check from Nana…now that’s an evil streak.

I’m not sure that Cesar deals with cats but he’d probably have some wise words to share about mine as they are not exempt from acting out. Clyde has a “open” compulsion. If you open anything, a door, a box, a cabinet a washing machine…he HAS to jump in. He cannot help himself.

Max…Max is pretty chill. He is the equivalent to a real life Garfield. He really has a one track mind. FOOD. And because of that, at 18 months old, he weights 16 pounds.

So, I’ve told you about mine and now it’s your turn.

What Were You For Halloween?

Kimberly — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 10:37:19 +0000

What were YOU for Halloween as a kid?

Here I was in 5th grade as a “Hobo” or “Bum”.
(Can you even say that anymore??)

Here I am after trick-or-treating sorting all my loot.

Here I am in 6th grade as a “Punk Rocker”. I dressed as a punk rocker for several years-
always on roller skates. Please note the cool leg warmers.

What about you? What did you dress up as for Halloween when you were a kid?
If you have pictures, show me, show me!
