Bed Bugs

     

     Bed Bugs! One word....EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! I don't have bed bugs, but with all of the hype surrounding bed bugs at the moment it makes me wonder if I am at risk for contracting these nasty little critters. I mean bed bugs is like the new  mad cow disease or swine flu epidemic. It's  an epidemic that America never knew it had. Five years ago no ever talked about bed bugs. I didn't even know bed bugs existed. Until, all of sudden every time I turned on the news there was another story about bed bugs and the threat they pose to you and your loved ones. Every time, I go near my bed now a days I can't help but wonder if these strange little creatures have made a new home out of my comfy cozy bed.   

     The thought of bed bugs attacking my bed poses so many  questions like: How did I get them? Would I feel them crawling on my skin? Do they bite? Does it hurt? Can I give my bed bugs to other people? Will they mate with each other and make like a super bed bug? What do they eat? Do they live on my left over cookie crumbs? If just by walking by some bed  bug infested bum on the street am I at risk for one jumping ship and  festering itself on my body and later in my bed?  Is there some type of scanner I can make potential suitor's walk through that detects bed bugs? Why do I think I would have suitors lined up to go through a bed bug scanner? Are they expecting payment? There are so many questions and no clear cut answers.

     I mean these news stories are really great  about exposing the truth about the unknown, but what do you do once you are made aware about the unknown? Is life ever the same again? Can I ever go back to a life where I didn't know about bed bugs and their desire to ruin my life? It almost makes we wistful for a time when I didn't know about bed bugs, and didn't worry about the hygiene of every one I met on the street. I think the best thing to come out of this worrisome discovery of bed bugs is the fact that I have taken notice of all of suitor's hygiene, and have become much more selective of the men I allow near my bed. So, thanks bed bugs for making hygiene a priority and giving me higher standards. I appreciate  that. I may never get laid again.

Book Recomendations

      I haven't done this in a really long time and I am so sorry about that. I completely forgot about book recommendations. I don't know why my weekly book recommendation posts went away, but slowly they have faded into the background over the past year or so. I remember back in the day they were the only reason why I got hits on my site. The bad news is I no longer have my site (you try maintaining the ads, running upkeep and coding... excuse my Chris, but it was a bitch!),but the good news is book recommendations is back, and here to stay until I forget about it again. I don't know if this is bad news or good news, but I am also changing shit up a bit. Oh yeah, I went there Luke! I don't care If you like my new way of doing things or not! Stop emailing me critiques! I love you but that doesn't mean I won't block you!
    So, this is how things are going to go down for now. I am going to give you a list of books I have recently finished and you can decide to take a chance on them or leave them curbside. The choice is yours kemosabe!

1)"Viva La Repartee" By: Dr. Mardy Grothe.- This books makes me want to use half of these quotes as my dying words to various friends and family! I swear if my last words could be recorded as "Your right, Bessie. And your ugly, But tomorrow morning, I will be sober" I would die a very sick and twisted happy person. Churchill was a genius and a drunk and what a lovely combination. I wish I had his ability to be witty and completely wasted all at the same time.

2)"American On Purpose" By: Craig Ferguson.- I love this man! He is absolutely side-splitting funny, witty and blessed with a very sexy Scottish accent. His autobiography is just as humorous as his stand up and written with that same tongue and cheek humor that makes the Late Late Show  downright hilarious. (What I wouldn't give for a sound board at my disposal at any given moment.) This cheeky monkey can tell a story that will make you laugh out loud and groan in frustration all in the span of 5 minutes. This is probably one of the best  autobiography's I have read in a very long time.

3) "Hush, Hush" By: Becca Fitzpatrick.-I really liked this book. I am usually very picky about my supernatural novels, but something about this book stuck out. I love her writing style. She is very descriptive and leaves you  wondering what is going to happen next. And Patch's character doesn't hurt either. He is sexy, mysterious, witty and just a little moody. He is a teenager's dream man. I have just started the second book in this series and I will let you know what I  think. I hope it is just as good as the first.

     Well, that is enough of the recommendations for now. You bloodsuckers have weaseled  two posts out of  me  tonight and I am positively famished. So, this is farewell internet. Until next time...

Bridget's Candy Addition and Blues Brothers

     So, I have a confession to make. I have an addiction to candy. I swear if it has sugar in it and it's extremely bad for you I can't get enough. In the past week, I have eaten a whole bag of twizzlers bites and a half a box of milk duds. I can't stop...I just can't stop eating the candy! I swear I am like a candy eating machine!
     But, that is all about to change I am on a mission...and not a "mission from god" for the penguin. Sadly, my life is nothing like Blues Brothers or even the less funny Blues Brother's 2000. No matter how hard I try. I would gladly give up call center hell to go on some bad-ass mission for the penguin to save the orphanage and drive through malls in my bad-ass ex-police car bluesmobile. If only it were perfectly acceptable to drive down a beach with a megaphone bigger than my car strapped to the roof advertising my upcoming blues-fest. If only my life were a movie.
     But alas it is not, and I really need to stop babbling...what was I even talking about? Oh, yes... missions! And my new mission may not be sent from god, but it is to stop eating so much damn candy. I am cleaning out my supplies of sugary goodness and that is it! No more candy! I suspect this won't last very long. But, it's worth a shot before I end up with diabetes, or at the very least 20lbs heavier.
     So, there you have it Internet I am on a mission for  less sugary goodness, no more pounds added to my waistline and more bad-assery. Wish me luck!

Quick Update

     Why, hello internet! I'm sorry I haven't been around lately. I have been extremely busy. Life has been a little crazy between family emergencies, work and lack of sleep. I have spent a lot of time visiting my grandfather at Hartford Hospital over the past week, so I haven't had a lot of time to update.

     As I write this I am sitting next to my grandfather watching him sleep. He is adorable when he sleeps. I glace up from my IPAD every few moments just to make sure he is ok. It is strange seeing him like this now. So weak and frail from the cancer. I always remember him being so strong and tough. He's still as stubborn as always, but that is the Scottish in him. I like that he is stubborn; it reminds me that after everything he has gone through he is still himself; he is still my grandfather. But, I guess that is what cancer does to you. It breaks you down body and mind. I wouldn't wish that fate on anyone. So, here I sit watching my mom make him dinner, and my aunt fuss the kitchen putting away groceries and joking about old times with my mom. My uncle sits at the dining room table talking to a nurse. And here I sit watching them. Watching them do what they can for him. They do it all out of love for their father. It's strange watching them; wanting to do everything, but not really able to do anything for him. It's sad because we all know that the cancer is terminal, and we would all do anything, and everything to change that fact. I feel like he is on borrowed time; just waiting. Just trying to do whatever we can to make him happy, to bring a smile to his face. I hope that the our efforts help in some way. I know they are small, but I hope that they matter to him, that they bring him some sort of happiness. I write this as I watch my family. It's strange what crosses your mind when you watch, and observe those you love most.

     As I write this I have so many thoughts going through my head it is hard to get them all down. I am exhausted, and I am sure my thoughts are a jumbled mess, and hardly decipherable., but here they are. I warned you all months ago that I was random, and one bad day away from being a hot mess. And I did not lie. This post is your undeniable proof. Well, It's getting late and I still have to help my family before I can go home and sleep. So, this is me saying good night internet! Until next time....

Undeniable Proof:

So, here it is the undeniable proof that I have made good on my many promises of  room cleanliness. Oh, yes! My room has stayed pristine and gorgeous! And to all you hater's and non-believer's this is me saying suck it!!

 Until, next time Internet BOOYAH!
