Honestly!

I have a problem with this girl I know. She has decided to be “honest” with me.

What’s wrong with that, you say?  Well, it isn’t the you-have-spinach-in-your-teeth kind of honesty,  it’s the I-have-something-to-say-and-I-will-say-it-to-every-but-you kind of honesty. Which as we all know is not really honesty at all, but gossip. I have confronted her on it twice now, and each time I get an apology and a “I really want to still be your friend” speech.

Recently, we have been communicating over email and I think that I might have hit a nerve, because she said that she is sorry that her “honesty has hurt me.”

Honesty? Where is there honesty in talking about me behind my back to my friends? Which by the way, I introduced you to! (Okay Princess, take a deep breath)

But it has gotten me thinking. Where do you draw the line? I will be the first to tell you if you have something in your teeth. But is it honest to tell someone that that dress really does make them look fat? Or is that just an excuse to be mean?

I used to work with a welfare-to-work program. So I worked with the public on a daily basis and it used to amaze me on what people felt they could say to you. I would have women come up to me and say these awful things about what I was wearing or how my hair looked. And I hardly knew them at all. I would say thank you and walk away, but really what else could I do? What happened to tact?

I like to believe that I am a honest person. But I also know that if I don’t agree with something that a friend of mine is doing, I do not give my opinion unless they expressly ask for it. And I certainly don’t go around spreading rumors about someone. Because really, that is what my co-worker was doing. She was going around passing her opinion off as fact, when really her opinion was based off of a one-time thing and really had nothing to do with me.

So please, be honest. Tell the truth. But please, draw a line. Don’t hurt someone else with your “honesty”, because really is it worth the pain that it causes?

I am in love

I feel like I have fallen behind in the times. A while back my sister Xteener started a store on Etsy. I would peruse her stuff, but really never ventured very far from that. But the other day I was looking online for something unique and I came across the site again. And guess what? I fell madly in love.

See what I found!

Obviously, I am obsessed with the beee-yoo-tiful jewelry there. But there is other fantastic stuff. LOOK!

 

Really, I’ve just been busy

 

Things have really been busy lately. I’ve been swamped at work. At home if it hasn’t been one thing it’s been the other. And my social life, well, pretty much non-exsistant.

But things have started to look up, well a little bit.

One weekend, we went to a friends wedding. It was lovely. See…

Pretty 'maids all in a row

I also learned that Wookis, not only can dance, but he can break dance. Pretty sweet!

Last Tuesday, I got a call from Sperm Donor, he’s now out of jail. The interesting part? When he called to tell me he was out, he asked why I didn’t pick up the phone while he was in there. Apparently, he was calling me collect, on my cell phone. You see, he wanted me to pick him up from jail! Is he freaking nuts?!

The next weekend we went and saw a band play on the River Front. 16 Candles rocks!

 

Good friends

Good music

Cute boys

And beer

 Don’t you wish you had my friends? It was a blast, we haven’t hung out together in forever.

And last weekend I went to Xteener’s bachelorette party. It was pretty fun too. We went on a boat, we went to see some comedy and we traveled the bars in her neck of the woods. But there will be no pictures…I’m saving those for blackmail later [insert evil laugh here]. 

Tomorrow our family is flying out for Xteener’s wedding. Yeah! More fun and hijinxs!!!

So, things are definately looking up…

Not feeling up to it.

I am sad. So rather depress you with tales of the doldrums I have fallen into. I will regale you with one of my favorite pictures from California.

Feel free to get all gushy, this is a picture of Wookis kissing one of his cousins Sweet Cheeks.

All together now…AWWWWWW!!!

Fly free little bird….

I know that I have been neglectful of my poor little blog. I was doing so well keeping  you all up to date on all my activities. But recently, things just haven’t been that exciting (except for my trip to California). Nothing has been interesting until two days ago when I received a call from Wookis’ sperm donor…let me tell you it was a doozy!

So I am sitting at my desk doing my thing, buying harddrives or some other boring piece of computer equipment, when I notice my phone light up (it’s on silent so that it doesn’t bother anyone). I glance at the caller ID and it says “Sperm Donor”.

Here is how our conversation goes:

Princess S: Hello?

Sperm Donor: Hey, I have some bad news

PS: What?

SD: I won’t be able to take Wookis next weekend or on Wednesday.

PS: Ok, go some work lined up?

SD: Um, no, I will be in jail

PS: What? Did you say jail?

SD: I have to turn myself in on Friday…

PS: Did you get caught driving again?

SD: Yea, I have to turn myself in on Friday.

PS: So how long will you be in?

SD: I’ll prbably be out in two weeks.

PS: How long?

SD: 30 days.

PS: Why do you think you’ll be out in two weeks?

SD: They usually don’t keep you in  that long.

PS: Your not Paris Hilton, I’ll just plan on keeping Wookis until I hear from you.

SP: Yea, I’ll call you when I get out.

I don’t know if you remember his last encounter with the law, but I am guessing he will never get his license back.  At first I was a little embarrassed that this is a guy that I used to date, but now it just cracks me up.

But now I have a little problem…I was supposed to go see Jimmy Buffett in Alpine Valley, now that SD is a serving time, my sitter is gone. Do you think I can take him? Or better yet know of any good sitters????

Falling quickly behind

So I thought I was so up on things for Xteener’s wedding…

• Bridesmaid dress CHECK
• Shoes CHECK
• Wedding Gift CHECK

Here is the truth:

• Bridesmaid dress - needs hemmed so I can wear it. Plus I have really bad tan lines that need to be fixed ASAP. And I only have 38 freaking days left!
• Shoes - Hurt like a mo fo but I can’t find one’s that I like
• Wedding Gift - The ONLY thing that has worked out so far (and no I am not telling what it is cause Xteener reads this!)

But now I also have to get ready for another wedding that will be two weeks earlier the Xteener’s. YIKES! Two weddings in two weeks. That’s a lot of love. Honestly I am not sure that I am up to it.

So to help me get over my pending aprehension I am going to do some shopping. I will let you know what I find.

Busy, busy, busy

I know, I have neglected my poor blog but I figured folks were getting tired of the “Things that I did on the weekend” posts. Plus, I have been super-duper busy. Guess where I have been?

CALIFORNIA.

More specificlly my hometown in Cali. It was fun and sad all at the same time. We got to go to the beach, we got to visit the Getty in LA, and we finally put Mom to rest. Plus there was lots of family time.

Oh my god the PAIN!

The other day I was talking to my friend Casanova about sunburns. I have never gotten burnt thankyouverymuch.

But now my arrogant words have come back to haunt me. Not only did I get burnt, but now I have blisters festering on each of my shoulders.

I feel that I should clarify, I did wear sunscreen. And in the spots that I had sunscreen there are no burns. But I stupidly did not apply sunscreen to my shoulders.

Now I am suffering.

I can’t hug my son. I squirm when people come near me. I felt like throwing up this morning while I was getting dressed. I will say it again…OH MY GOD THE PAIN.

I am going to head home a little early to get these damn clothes off so that I can get some relief. I won’t show pictures cause it is just gross.

But if anyone has some advice, please, please, please, let me know!

Doing things you don’t normally do

Well, this has been a weekend of unusual activities for again this weekend. Not only did I get my tattoo but I went hiking with C.

For those of you who know me, amazing right? And what’s even more amazing? I actually had fun.

Here are some pictures of all some of our views:

It’s done

Yea! It’s complete. I have done it!

I have finally gotten my new tattoo. I am so excited.

Here is a picture. It’s a little blurry since I took it on my phone, but you get the idea.

Here is the inspiration picture:

I like mine better.
