Wednesdays

I am a Wednesdays child.  Ever hear the sayings?
Mondays child is fair of face,
Tuesdays child is full of grace,
Wednesdays child is full of woe,
Thursdays child has far to go,
Fridays child is loving and giving,
Saturdays child works hard for his living,
And the child that is born on the Sabbath day
Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay.
It's funny...I am full of woe often.  But right now, I am feeling pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good (Curb Your Enthusiasm Quote). 

My oldest Son Jacob was born on a Thursday and his is quite fitting "has far to go".  He has yet to find himself at 16.  I know there is time.  Still is interesting.

My youngest Son Kyle was born on a Wednesday like me, and is also full of woe.  (Poor Baby)

My husband Mario was born on a Tuesday.  Grace?

This generator is quite intersting - when you put in your birthday it tells SO much about you.  Look into it...you will be entertained.

Maybe I should change my name to "The Winey Woeful Witch" LOL ♥

Friday

And Thank GOD for that!  This has been one hell of a week for me emotionally.  Don't ask me why - but I SO am looking forward to putting this week behind me and moving ON.  Heading to Palm Desert straight from work today. Mario is in a golf tournament at the JW Marriott so the boys and I will be sleeping in and heading to the pool for most of the weekend.  I get to spend some time with my Godson, Christian too since they are coming for the tournament too.  I hope to have a nice, relaxing weekend.  It is much needed!

Happy Friday to All ~

 Esther's Top 5 Tips to Embracing Your Inner Crab


• Go with it and stop fighting how you're feeling. Or drink a bottle of WINE.

• Follow these two important rules while you're in the throes of crabbiness: don't hurt yourself or anyone/thing else. Or drink a bottle of WINE.

• Let your anger out in healthy ways like: intense exercise, shouting in your car with the windows rolled up (not when you're driving), punching pillows, writing all the vicious thoughts you're having out on paper and destroying them afterwards, "venting" to a caring person who realizes that it's healthy to let off some steam once in a while. Or drink a bottle of WINE.

• After you've let out your anger, nurture yourself by doing nice things like having a bath, petting an animal, getting a massage, or doing some yoga and/or meditation. Or drink a bottle of WINE.

• You'll probably move into feeling sad and weepy after you've released your anger, as sadness is often what is beneath the surface of our crabbiness. Let yourself have a good cry- let it out. You'll feel a whole lot lighter and freer afterwards. Or drink a bottle of WINE.

You know I added the "Or drink a bottle of WINE." at the ends...♥


Crabby Witch

I absolutely HATE when I am crabby.  Especially when I really have NO reason to be.  It consumes me and even though I tell myself "snap out of it already!" It has a mind of its own and tells me "Bitch, screw you."...lol. 

I was uploading a pic to my walgreens photo account today for Suzanne and came across a few old albums back to 2006.  There was a pic of me with my naturally curly hair, holding a glass of wine, of course.  I think the curly hair makes me look older and my face chubbier.  So I guess washing, straigtening, and recurling my hair every morning is worth it.  See?  I am bitching and moaning and whining.  It's 10:38 am...too early for a glass of wine?  I am in need of some PF Changs Sebastian time.  The 3-4 hour "lunches" at the bar.  Yeah.  That's what I need. Someone come get this Winey Witch will ya?




~ I am in that kind of mood ~  That's how I roll...

Dodgers-Giants: Baseball's Greatest Rivalry

We watched an amazing documentary last night about the rivalry between the Dodgers & Giants on Versus. http://www.versus.com/shows/greatest-mlb-rivalries/.  I always knew there was a rivalry but seeing the history behind it in pictures, video footage, announcers, etc. was intoxicating.  The passion and the "hate" is so real with these teams.  It isn't mean spirited - it is an honest to goodness rivalry.  I want to read about it now.  There are many books on the history.  It's awesome!


"Even if "hatred" is too strong a word, rivalries are an important part of the sport's tapestry. They might not get as much attention as, say, rivalries in college football, but MLB has a rich array of blood feuds."

"These two venerable franchises have hated one another on both sides of the country, and their rivalry dates back to the 19th century. And even though they've played one another more than 2,100 times, the Giants hold a mere 11-game advantage in the all-time series. Now that's a hotly contested rivalry. As for signature moments, there's the "Shot Heard 'Round the World" (probably the most iconic moment in baseball history), the classic races of 1962 and 2004, the ugly Juan Marichal-Johnny Roseboro brawl, and Reggie Smith's pummeling of a Giants fan back in 1981. Heck, following the 1956 season the great Jackie Robinson retired rather than accept a trade to the Giants, in part because he so loathed the idea of suiting up for his longtime rivals." — Dayn Perry


Because they are jealous.  100%.

My personal favorite pic ever...♥ I want a Jersey that says Giants Hater...LOL ♥

Quote of the Day

"You're a Mario with boobs."

Moobs? LMAO....♥

Another awesome quip from my BFF ~ We love our wine! LOL

A real man is a woman's best friend. He will never stand her up and never let her down. He will reassure her when she feels insecure and comfort her after a bad day. He will inspire her to do things she never thought she could do; to live without fear and forget regret. He will enable her to express her deepest emotions and give in to her most intimate desires. He will make sure she always feels as though she's the most beautiful woman in the room and will enable her to be the most confident, sexy, seductive, and invincible.

No wait... sorry... I'm thinking of wine. Its wine that does all that.......

Never mind ♥♥

And then the fight started......

One year, I decided to buy my mother-in-law a cemetery plot as a Christmas gift...The next year, I didn't buy her a gift.  When she asked me why, I replied, "Well, you still haven't used the gift I bought you last year!"
And that's how the fight started.....
______________________________

My wife and I were watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while we were in bed.  I turned to her and said, 'Do you want to have Sex?' 'No,' she answered. I then said, 'Is that your final answer?' She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying, 'Yes..' So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend."
And that's when the fight started...
________________________________
I took my wife to a restaurant.  The waiter, for some reason, took my order first. "I'll have the rump steak, rare, please." He said, "Aren't you worried about the mad cow?" "Nah, she can order for herself."
And that's when the fight started.....
________________________________
My wife and I were sitting at a table at her high school reunion, and she kept staring at a drunken man swigging his drink as he sat alone at a nearby table. I asked her, "Do you know him?" "Yes", she sighed,
"He's my old boyfriend.... I understand he took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear he hasn't been sober since." "My God!" I said, "Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?"
And then the fight started...
________________________________
When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run, my wife kept hinting to me that I should get it fixed. But, somehow I always had something else to take care of first, the shed, the boat, making beer.. Always something more important to me. Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point.
When I arrived home one day, I found her seated in the tall grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors. I watched silently for a short time and then went into the house.. I was gone only a minute, and when I came out again I handed her a toothbrush. I said, "When you finish cutting the grass, you might as well sweep the driveway."The doctors say I will walk again, but I will always have a limp.
________________________________
My wife sat down next to me as I was flipping channels. She asked, "What's on TV?" I said, "Dust."
And then the fight started...
________________________________
Saturday morning I got up early, quietly dressed, made my lunch, and slipped quietly into the garage. I hooked up the boat up to the van, and proceeded to back out into a torrential downpour. The wind was blowing 50 mph, so I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather would be bad all day. I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed.. I cuddled up to my wife's back, now with a different anticipation, and whispered, "The weather out there is terrible." My loving wife of 5 years replied, "And, can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in that?"
And that's how the fight started...
________________________________
My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary. She said, "I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds." I bought her a bathroom scale.
And then the fight started......
________________________________
After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security. The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's License to verify my age. I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later.
The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt'. So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair. She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me' and she processed my Social Security application. When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office...She said, 'You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten disability, too.'
And then the fight started...
________________________________
My wife was standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror. She was not happy with what she saw and said to me, "I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment.' I replied, "Your eyesight's damn near perfect."
And then the fight started......
