Ms.Cheevious

Well HELLOOOOO all you lovely girlies and manly men! 

I missed you last week! I apologize.  I was exceptionally busy with work last week, and as much as my blog was on my mind, there wasn’t a SINGLE moment to spare to get a post out to you! 

But I have to say, it was probably a good thing I was working.  The way CNN and MSNBC and the whole lot of them are talking, I am the only one out there who is!   But hey – I’m here to help.  Just plop that big ole mess of an economy on my desk.  You, me and all my friends will spend as much time as it takes (since none of you have anything to do now) to figure it out and settle this thing once and for all.  Ha! We’d probably do a pretty damn good job of it too.

If you are new here, welcome!  I’m so happy to have you!  Please – enjoy your stay! 

So – since I feel compelled to keep the nation’s workforce of ONE busy working, I thought I’d try to do a quickie this week, so I can get back to my other job.  I decided I would jot down some of the things I’ve been musing about – as they have occurred to me recently.  As you’ll see, I didn’t do a great job of being quick or to the point.  But hey, it’s FUN.  So here you go:

1.  I think our President is the most natural, real guy who’s been in that office in a very long time. (This one is serious.  I observed it during his State of the Union Address).

2.  I am really TICKED OFF at the airlines.  Yep.  At the Delta curb just about a week ago while checking in, the sky cab said just their desk had made over a MILLION dollars in revenue in the previous month.  Do you know what that revenue was from boys and girls?  You know those BAGGAGE FEES the airlines instituted back in June because they couldn’t afford to pay for fuel – back when some of us were paying over $4.00/gallon?  Yep.  That’s right.  Just that ONE sky cab station earned over a MILLION buckaroos in baggage fees in ONE month!  Here I thought they’d be cancelling those fees now that gas is HALF the price it was back then.  HA.  I think we should organize a boycott. From now on, it’s Amtrak or Greyhound for all of us, kiddos.

3. Which brings me to my next musing:  Fred the Wonder Chicken said this half jokingly, when Captain “Sulley” from US Airways landed the plane safely in the Hudson river. I fear he was hauntingly accurate.  He said “Next, the airlines will be making money off the good pilots!  They’ll say, “Well, Captain Sulley is flying this particular flight.  We can sell you a seat, but it’ll cost ya.!”"  He was RIGHT.  Just Tuesday (2/24/09), the airlines, in a bold move, brought Sulley in to testify before congress.  Those congress-people thought they were getting a pleasant visit from the flight crew of that US Airways flight.  I don’t know where the airlines get off, but they sent that heroic pilot in there to complain that they don’t have enough money to pay good pilots!! What kind of nonsense is THAT?  He said that the airlines can’t AFFORD  it.  He said that 3000 hours or more of flight time use to be required to get hired (way back when), and now they’ll take someone with 300 hours.  Okay people.  Am I missing something here?  Is it OUR fault they’ll hire pilots to fly their 500 million dollar planes who graduated from Joe’s School for Flight Training & Cosmetology (and Hot-Dog Stand) in Guthrie, Oklahoma?  GET a GRIP!  Does NO ONE out there know how to run a business, and make it WORK?  What the HECK is going on over there?  And the GALL of them turning around and charging us extra baggage fees on top of giving us SECOND RATE pilots!!  But hey, what about that prediction by FWC?  Be careful what you say, that’s all I’m sayin.

4. OH!  I almost forgot!  This one is probably the most important!  Especially to you girly romantic girls out there!  Fred the Wonder Chicken gave me DIAMONDS for Valentine’s Day!  Can you believe it?  Yep.  I know.  Took him long enough, right?  There were two of them.  Two BLACK DIAMONDS.  Yep.  While skiing Ajax (in Aspen, Colorado) over Valentine’s Weekend he accidentally led me to a ski run called something like T-1 or T-3 .  Isn’t that just so wonderful? He’s such a romantic.  The cascading cliffs with their jagged rocks, protruding out of the snow for me to see as I stumbled toward them.  The dense foliage and trees, with the beautiful giant white moguls in between.  And it wasn’t just beautiful for the eyes and mind to see, it was an incredible experience.  I can’t tell you how incredibly pristine it felt getting in there with nature, rubbing my ass down the side of the hill as the snow slowly crept up my back and down my pants, clinging to my skin, turning it a beautiful shade of blue.  But seriously – as hairy scary as it may have or could have been, we had a FANTASTIC time!  I laughed so much, at one point I wanted him to video tape it for all of you to see.  But, I got down to the bottom of the hill and decided to sit at the bar while FWC got in a few more runs.  Do you blame me?  The locals there said those runs are really DOUBLE Double Black Diamonds. So see?  FWC really DOES care!  He gave me FOUR big giant diamonds! hee hee!

5.  Okay – I’m a pretty good skier.  At least I think so.  Plus, I’m in pretty decent shape.  I work out five days a week, if at all possible.  I try to eat right.  But that trip was EXHAUSTING.  Was it the altitude, the fun and revelry every night, the skiing or the combination that made me want to sleep for three days after that trip?

I’m ready for some down time.  How about you?

Have an incredibly beautiful weekend everyone!

Love you people!  Mmmmmmmphhhhuuuuhhhh!

xoxo,

In spite of (ehem), I mean, in honor of Valentine’s Day, I’m posting a little something for my single peeps out there.  Yes, I too am succumbing to the pressures of commercialization and writing blogs based on what’s hot. 

Have a heart, though.  I have to do it.  It really IS Valentine’s Day weekend coming up.  Can you blame me?  But since most of my readers tend to be Ms. Cheevious proteges, ascribing to my personal mantra: Enjoying Every Moment - I am posting something for them.  It’s a little something I wrote last year for Be Three - a website for hot, hip, and healthy chicks. My piece was called “Solo Girl’s V-Day Survival Kit.” The wonderful folks at Be Three didn’t post my piece as it was written (they edited it to suit their girls) – and that was their prerogative. So I’m giving you guys the unedited, unabridged, XXX rated version. 

HA!  Just kidding. 

Here’s to YOU – all of you incredible, single, lovely girls (and boys, of course).  If you are new here, welcome!  We are so glad to see you!  And, if you aren’t single, share this with your single friends.  They’ll get a kick out of it! 

I dare any one of you people who are flying solo this weekend to take me up on these survival tips:

Single Girl’s V-Day Survival Kit

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. Sigh.  It’s not that you’re anti-romance.  It’s that you’re one of 89 million Americans who aren’t “coupled up” this year. Tired of seeing cheesy expressions of love plastered on every form of media known to man? Afraid you might launch into a wild, frenzied attack on the Hallmark shop lady? Stop yourself.  Try these bold alternatives and keep your pink, candy-hearted butt from going to jail:

·         Host an Un-Valentine’s Day Party:  Leave it open to all singles. Themes like As Single as I Wanna’ Be (about the bliss of single life), or I’d Rather Be Single Than with My Ex (an ex-orcising party) will change your opinion of “Love-Day” for good!

·         Eat a TON of Chocolate.  I’m not kidding.  A TON. Test all the theories about chocolate’s health benefits.  Begin eating at 9 AM and don’t stop ‘til 9 PM. Video tape everything. If you come out alive, post your video on YouTube, and proclaim once and for all that SEX really IS better than chocolate. Everyone will applaud your “no guts, no glory” approach, and you’ll get your 15 minutes of fame. Especially if you video tape the sex part (ha ha!)

·         Get out! Take your single friends to all the dating hot spots.  Smile broadly and toast the freedoms of being single in front of all those ball-n-chainers! You’ve always said you don’t have a chance in hell of meeting the perfect guy anyway.  It’s good to be proven right. You’ll also prove to yourself that you’re fine just as you are!

The end result? Pure satisfaction at being “un-coupled” and a deeper appreciation for freedom and friendship.

Have a FABULOUSLY FREE weekend everyone! 

Love you people!  Mmmmmphhhuuhhhh!

Shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing, yeah yeah. 

Show ‘em how we do it now!

Hello there you incredibly beautiful, vibrant people!  I trust after my  “Brand Spanking New – Year” post, you’ve had an incredible week, commanding your world.  Am I right?  I certainly hope so!

It has been a FANTASTIC week for me.  And I mean that in the true sense of the word:

Merriam Webster defines the 14th century word, Fantastic as:

By fantastic – I mean definition “c” above:  My week was so extreme, as to challenge belief. 

Ya’d think that someone who wrote with such conviction about not ascribing to the whole worry and fear campaign sweeping our nation could go on from that and have a phenomenal week – one without drama or circumstance, wouldn’t ya?

The truth is, the drama was mostly within ME.  But hang on a minute with me here.  This story does have a point – and you’ll know why I’m saying to shake your groove thang in a bit. 

It’s not that I had such an unbelievable week.  I had a week of incredible extremes – emotionally. And no, I don’t mean the girly “Do I look fat in this dress?” or “Why don’t you ever tell me you love me?” type of emotional extremes.  Those are girly extremes. I guess I don’t DO girly.  No, for me it was emotional on that same level I warned about last week.  I was extremely worried in one moment, and on top of my game in the next, fearful the next, but happy and content most of the way through.  I woke up not just one morning, but a few mornings with a feeling of incredible fear of what might happen.  I had thoughts that somehow I was not good enough to be where I was financially or professionally, or whatever. That I didn’t deserve my reality, as good as it was, and perhaps the challenges I was facing were deserved, and life as I knew it was about to change.  Everything I thought about was the antithesis of my reality, and of my normal thought patterns. It was stupefying and ridiculous, I know. 

So why would I be singing “Shake Your Groove Thing,” you ask?

All I can say is the one thing I did NOT do was lose my grip on the sense that I am better than “all that.”  On the fact that I know I attract what I want, what I do, what I say, and what I am determined to be.  I really do.  I always have.  I have watched it happen time and time again in my life – almost as though I were watching stop action film footage of the events. 

I knew all along that no matter what I FEEL, I AM the one responsible for what my world has become.  I knew I just needed to continue to stay focused, to put it out there, and to TRULY know it to be true.  I needed to be strong and make things happen.

So when I was faced with my own final challenge this week I did it.  I pulled myself up by my boot straps.  I pumped my brain full of all the things I needed to be armed with.  I surrounded myself with influential people – who would remind me of how to think.  I put my armor on (in my case it was a hot little business suit) and I went in prepared, knowing that everyone involved would be fortunate if I chose to be involved. 

Things went so well – it was everything I could have asked, and more.  So, on Thursday – the day I normally write and send this blog off into cyberspace – I went from tenuous soldier to champion within a matter of hours.  But I tell ya – it feels good to be a champ. 

And THAT, my friends, is why I am saying to “Shake Your Groove Thing!”

You are incredible. You are dynamic. And I am thankful for you and your thoughts. 

Have a FANTASTIC (And I don’t mean extreme – unless you want it that way) weekend everyone!

Love you people!  Mmmmmmppphuuuuuuhhhh!

xoxo,

Ms. Cheevious
