I'm excited because the new season of Lost is about to begin, and while I remember the fine friends here who are still not caught up because of where they live, I won't give any details away, except to say that if any one dies this season, it better not be Sawyer.

I'm sad because I probably have to give up the Hulk jacket this year. I took my winter jacket out of storage the other day, and there it is: splotchy, ripped, and just sad looking. I could pay to get a new zipper put in, and maybe having it dry-cleaned might brighten it up a bit, but I doubt it. It's more than a decade old, maybe closer to 15 years, come to think of it. Retirement is sad.

But I'm happy now, because this means that I have a legitimate shopping trip to make.

Ah, the ups and downs of a woman. It's a beautiful thing.

I have been frustrated by Mr X, who persists on calling me everyday. He's got a rich french accent, and pronounces my name just perfectly, which I am unused to. He sounds so masculine, but also being a bit of an arse because he knows my whole life story. He's demanding, and won't leave me alone. Of course, he's from a credit company and insists that he has three lovely options to resolve 'the issue'. None of the three options actually work for me, so I've been ignoring his calls. You'd think that he'd get the hint, already.

I'm also frustrated by Mr C, who won't give me the time of day. Why I fall for these strong, silent types confuses the hell out of me, because I'm not the approachable type either. It doesn't actually make for stimulating conversation, to say the least. He knows my name, I've got that going so far. But that's about it. I know next to nothing about him, except that he's on the peripheral of my social circle. Everywhere I go, there he is, but on the outskirts of it all. I'm sure I could ask someone about him, or even go up to him myself, but at the moment, I prefer things the way they stand: exactly nowhere but with him nearby. Pathetic, huh?

Men. Who needs 'em?

what's pathetic is I understand it with crystal clear clarity. Sometimes you need the people you care about just...near by.

Great blog, Nicky.

I love how when you write about your life it becomes something literary. I don't even know how to describe it, but I like it.

Thanks for the card, btw. Totally unexpected and absolutely wonderful.

I love this line.

Enjoyed the article Nicky and you really got me with MR X! Came outta nowhere.

Hope your romance heats up soon and you WRITE about it.

You can HAVE him! hehehe.

Totally unexpected and absolutely wonderful.


Glad you liked it! Thanks for the lovely words about my blog. I hope you and your family stay strong and well. I don't have any talent for knitting or anything else that's crafty, but I'm definitely here for you, my friend.

Very True! Wise Words Shovel.


Shovel is the wisest of all!

Jennifer, thanks for writing.... anticipation or just plain shyness.... who knows?

You're so cute when you beg Shaun, funny too!!


Aw I like the idea of Mr. C. Don't men like that just get your hackles up? You like them, somehow you know they are aware of you, yet they don't make the move. Aw men...I agree!

Nicely written. I too was sucked in by the mysterious Mr X. Clever... If Mr C. is peripheral, maybe you could stand more sideon so he'll notice you (sorry, bad, bad Maso, bad...)
