Muffin's Big Day at Target... YEA!!

 
Posted by Picasa
Friends Rule!, no let me reiterate MY friends rule! What you see up above is a super swell afternoon with my sassy girl P.T. who is not only a friend but a co-parent to my little Muffin. P.T. has also lent me her Mom, to be a fabulous stand in grandmother, and what a wonderful job she is doing! and I can't say enough about how important these people are in my life. P.T. is an elementary school teacher, a craft diva, a drinker  of girlie wine, and the most incredible bargain shopper I've ever known! That is what you see above, her and her mom Vicki, giving me, and Muffin a quick tutorial on guerilla clearance rack shopping in the land of red and white,  the always fabulous Target!

the friends of men: and all of their negative "cat chat"

let me start off by explaining what i mean by "cat chat" it's starts off with that catty ass behavior that teenage girls are usually known for, you know the old "girl I don't think he likes you..." (because they want to date him), "girl your ass looks great in those jeans!" (even though you look like a sack of beans), girl ever since you started hanging around those nerds, (aka 'smart people') you're not down anymore" or the ubiquitous "girl if I were you, I wouldn't take that shit....." you can fill in the blank with any number of situations where you can read between the lines that the way you're 'living' doesn't get the stamp of approval from the Flap Jaw Society of America.
Well who would have guessed that not only are BOTH sexes privy to it, but that the bullshit behavior carries on into old age, and I do mean OLD age! In adulthood and for men, it sounds something like this "dude you are so whipped" or "now that you've been dating ____ you don't have time for your friends" or the old stand by -" Dude your life is over!" let me state that this type of commentary can come from BOTH men and women, it's colored with statements like "I'm just saying" or "I've seen it happen to other people" or those cleverly placed "remember when (pre-girlfriend, wife, kid, etc.) we used to do blah blah blah stories. To all the under your breath, and behind my back shit talkers, I say while you're busily warning your good buddies about their lives being over, take a moment, check the mirror, and ask that lovely person staring back at you, "who in their right fucking mind would even consider taking any type "life/living" from advice you!
