You know your a crazy pet owner when....

Oh, how I love seeing little innocent children & pets shamelessly get dressed for the Halloween holiday when they have no control over what is being put over their head & on their tiny little bodies.

Here are a few examples that people submitted to the local paper which means these people could be my neighbors which I love even more - they are kookier than me!!

I wish my cat wasn't so fickle. I guess she knows me too well after I applied the blush to her white cheeks. She runs when I attempt to put anything human on her. Rats! Oh well, I will live vicariously through these fellow pet owners. Enjoy!

PS- look at the pumpkin in the first photo...I guess the Elvis crooner needs practice

It's time to ketchup!!!

This is for all my fellow Americans.

When watching the morning news today, they informed me that the #1 condiment used in the US since 1991 has been "salsa"

Salsa??? What,that's not American? I couldn't believe it.

I mean, I knew I like to eat out alot at Mexican restaurants but I didn't know that so did the whole rest of the United States. I see alot of hotdogs, hamburgers & french fries being consumed so I just assumed it was "ketchup" as it should be. Now that is American. I mean, for pete's sake, every restaurant you go to has ketchup on the table along with salt & pepper. You don't see salsa just sitting there for the taking.

I can't even believe they classify "salsa" as a condiment, this was also news to me. So, does that make cheese dip a condiment too? If so, shouldn't that be free? If so, how amazing that would be. I'd drown my little belly in it.

But, back to being American, I'm starting to campaign for "Ketchup on Tortilla Chips". We need to bring back the staple item to our culture. If ketchup isn't your thing, I will also allow mustard or mayo as a substitute. I will also promote dumping the excess ketchup from your table into your purse, under the table or take it to the bathroom for dumping so it will have to be refilled & eventually if everyone cooperates it should make a big enough impact. However, please be discreet, otherwise the restaurants may no longer leave it on the table for all to indulge in. We don't want to counteract our mission here.

Thank you,
Management

Continuation of "free" on craigslist

I think I am going to continue to post my frequent favorite craiglist category "Free"

Still amused by some of the listings - the time, the effort, the bizarreness!!!

Today contestants....drum roll please

A) Fruity Loops - yep, come get free cereal that a moving company is trying to get rid of since some home owner pawned it off on him.

B) Light Bulb - okay people, I know the economy is bad but the amount of gas it would take you to pick it up would be the same cost of the bulb.

C) Litter Pan - maybe if it was new, but ewww, a used litter pan. I think I would find an old garbage lid or something before resorting to driving to pick up a stinky litter pan preowned, gawd, could you imagine the car ride home, gag!

A story of mime

Oh geez - I had to share this "Bridget Fun Fact" with all

Yesterday someone was talking on the radio about living in Paris,France etc...when I suddenly caught myself not listening to the radio anymore. My mind had drifted back to age 13 when I was with a travel group & we stopped in Paris for a couple days as well as other European countries & cities.

Besides getting stuck in the hotel elevator for hours before the front desk decided to do anything about it & missing the group trip to the Eiffel Tower at night, one of my favorite memories was being chased by a full fledged mime through the streets of Paris. Yep, you heard me right, a real mime literally chased me down the street cussing at me in French. I only knew he was cussing because the translator turned around, covered her ears, then shaking her index finger at him as if to scold him.

Here's how it all went down. We were on a walking sight-seeing tour throughout the city and I noticed for the first time in my life a mime on a box in full black & white costume including the face paint & beret. I couldn't have been in a more movie like situation. He's doing his thing & I stop to watch him for a minute while the rest of the group keeps moving knowing that I could quickly catch up. I don't remember standing there for maybe less than a minute to take it all in since I knew I'd probably never see this again. But as quickly as I could turn my back and start briskly trying to meet up with the rest of the students, I hear a thud, french dialect yelling behind me to see that he has jumped off his box & started to follow me. He's trying to relay something really angerily and being so young I think I either screamed or cried. If I had it to over again, I would have turned around & laughed in his face. Then said, get back to work buddy while pointing at his box only to remind him that he is mime & should not be speaking at all. After consulting with the translator, I guess it is customary to tip any street performers after taking in "their show" whether or not you like it. She did admit that he was being awfully pushy & should not have acted out like that so it was okay to ignore him. I was quickly learning that European & American traditions are completely different! How many times have you been downtown a city and seen a performer to just keep walking.You don't see them chasing women or young girls down the street,do you? I believe that would be called harrassment. I should have filed suit except their police are so corrupt over there it is ridiculous. I learned this in Nice, France. A story for a different time!

Hugs!

2 years seems like forever....

Originally when I started this blog, I was just going to keep it light & frivolous about random funny things I encounter in my day to day life.

However, I noticed that lately I've used it more as an outlet to talk about a vast variety of the things going on.

So, I felt the desire to post a lil dedication about something that still weighs so deeply on my soul.

Tomorrow will be the 2 year marking of my grandma Fagan's passing. We weren't ready to say goodbye since she was so active, animated & dedicated to her family. However, a higher calling decided it was her time to serve the Lord. I just wanted to let her know that we still reminisce about her, miss her & love her dearly.

I've had more than one reader tell me that she is my angel. I believe that too. We shared a close bond over the years we spent together. She would always take care of me when my parents went out of town...cook for me til I was stuffed, make my lunches, drive me to school & make sure I always washed my face. ha! We'd cut grocery coupons together on Sunday mornings, she'd stick up for me when grandpa would get grouchy & yell at me, and so many other wonderful memories. A true gem of a woman. I'm proud to have known her & call her my grandma.

XoXo

Happy Birthday Bridge

I know its a few days late but I wanted it to be my first post of October...keeping in mind that my birthday is the 1st of October. Touche!

Anyways, just another year older but hopefully it will be a good year at best!!

Here's the lovely cake that my lovely beau gave me...or shall I say I threatened him to get it for me!! Mmmm cookies! Only because you can't buy a cake with your own name on it, that's lame. haha

So with that being said he bought be the biggest one they offer, good boy...I couldn't even wait to eat it before I took a picture of it.
