I’ve got better things to do

October 4, 2013 by MsCheevious

I’ve got better things to do

 

Remember the time I told you that my version of a perfect world would call for the immediate and total annihilation and extinction of every living bug and creepy crawly insect in our universe? Well, my ongoing battle with the bug and insect kingdom has been covered here ad nauseum, infinitum. So hows about another topic?

I’ve since changed my entire position on my increased tensions with the bug world. It’s not that the bugs and I actually like each other or get along now, GOD no. And no, we did not elicit help from our Congressional leaders in an effort to cool the tensions. Hell no. Our Congressional leaders are far too busy with more important matters like shutting down our government and stuff.

No, I still loathe the little beasts. But I did realize that if we don’t do something about the bees that are dying in droves on planet earth, we may witness an apocalyptic-like scenario never before seen. Besides, those creepy crawlers and flying pests have made it absolutely clear they’ll follow me to the ends of the earth. The little pests are constantly doing things to annoy me while everyone keeps saying how they’re doing so much GOOD (like pollinating and eating trash and other things). I always protested (to put it mildly), because someone had to cry foul.

But in an effort to preserve the human race (because… save the bees), I’ve decided to let bygones be bygones.  And you guys… this is no small task! We’re talking years of tension! I can clearly recall numerous times I’ve been doing my thing, walking down the block (for example), only to have a bee buzz its way up my nose or into my ear (have I said this before?). I’ve knocked children, tricycles, trees, and the occasional senior citizen down while running, screaming, arms flailing around trying to escape or SMASH the pests to smithereens.

But I have decided that in every new similar situation that arises, I will try to access (from deep within my memory banks) the instructions my dear mother fed me repeatedly while growing up. Instructions for how to deal with bullies:

“Ignore them.”

Do you understand how hard that is for someone like me? Listen. Every single time some freaking idiot kid did something horrific like take my Troll doll and smear it through dog poop in the yard, and my mom said “Just ignore them,” I was the kid who decked the psycho, and then followed her advice….

But I now realize change must come.

I believe with deep resolution that my dear mom’s approach is the best possible option, since my kingdom and the kingdom of the little beasts must dwell together.

So I’d like to seize this moment while tensions are high and everyone is frantically searching for a solution, to let you know just how I plan to be the bigger – um – person.

While the bugs may continue to run around looking for ways to bite me or nip at my delectable skin, I’ll be waxing my very best Meh – and – And you are??? While I’m doing THIS:

Kicking Ass and Taking Names
Kicking Ass and Taking Names. Yep. I have better things to do.

 

SUCK IT bugs.  I mean….

Can’t we all just get along? Because, LORD knows I’ve got better things to do.

Allegory intended.

Vodka… I mean Laughter is the Best Medicine

April 28, 2013 by Suzie Aboueid

Great title for a Ms. Cheevious article, eh?  When Ms. Suzie Aboueid, Single Dating Diva herself agreed to be a guest contributor here and I read her article which was all about the importance of laughter, and laughing at ourselves… well, I was sold. How does vodka fit in? Oh my darlings, vodka ALWAYS fits in. Read on.

All kidding (and vodka) aside, laughing truly is something I do more often than just about anything else. And that is no joke. Ask around and you’ll find that to many, laughter is synonymous with Ms. Cheevious. Enjoy.

Vodka… I mean Laughter is the Best Medicine

Life is full of challenges but it’s also full of so much beauty.  Each day we are faced with experiences that can either make or ruin our day.  We all know that, right?

Here’s an idea … what if we were to see everything that comes our way in a positive light? No, I haven’t had one too many glasses of wine or shots of vodka.  I have given this a lot of thought, and I believe everything that happens to us, good or bad, ends up for our good one way or another.  Not all lessons can be easy ones, can they?  If we look at things positively – maybe even laugh more often with our friends and family – and at ourselves, our mistakes or missteps,  then perhaps, just perhaps, every experience we have, good or bad, can turn into a positive one.

I’ll tell you why.

Laughter is Good For You!

Countless studies have been done to prove the benefits of laughter to human health.  Laughing feels good and makes others around you feel good.  It also helps heal you inside and out.  Could laughter also be the long sought after fountain of youth?  Well, when I saw an article about looking to children as role models for laughter it made me think twice.  That same article mentioned that research has proven

“laughter reduces levels of stress hormones such as cortisol, epinephrine, and dopamine; increases health-enhancing hormones (such as endorphins), neurotransmitters, and infection-fighting antibodies; and improves blood flow to the heart–all resulting in greater relaxation and resistance to disease, as well as improved mood and positive outlook.”

Now that’s a great reason to laugh isn’t it?

Why You Should Laugh at Yourself

Laughter Makes You More Attractive

Look at it this way, who do you gravitate towards? People who smile and laugh or the Eeyore’s of the world?  Who wants to be around negative people? Not me! I know, I know, we all have THOSE kinds of days, and that’s completely OK, but, it’s not OK when we have them all the time.  Make yourself more appealing by having a great sense of humor.

Go on, flash  that sexy smile of yours!

C’mon, let’s see it!

I know it’s in there somewhere!

There you go! That wasn’t so hard was it??

I’m going to let you in on a little Single Dating Diva secret, if you’re single and dating this is one of the most important weapons in your dating arsenal (just make sure there’s nothing in your teeth!).  It also benefits just about everyone… think job interviews, social situations, even family gatherings. You’ll become someone people want to be around when you laugh more.  You not only show yourself to have a good sense of humor, you also give the impression that you don’t take yourself too seriously.  So, go on, laugh dammit, laugh!

Laughing At Yourself

We’ve all had those days that just go all wrong. Think about those days when you walk into a pole, or trip and fall in front of the hottest man or woman… or your boss.  How about when you drop your coffee on your new outfit and have to stay that way all day? I think we should take Jennifer Lawrence’s Oscar trip and her interview with reporters as an example.  What did she do?  Get back up, laugh at herself, not take herself seriously.  How did people react? They LOVED it and her!!  That whole situation could have gone completely differently with her being upset and angry and embarrassed.  She could have taken it out on others as well and made others uncomfortable, but she didn’t.  We all make mistakes, no one is perfect or beyond the challenges of every day life.  How we take it and react to it makes all the difference in the world.

When life throws you a punch, get up, dust yourself off and say “good one” and laugh.  Just laugh.  When you make a mistake in front of others, say “oops sorry” and laugh it off.  It will make them take it more lightly as well.  You know what? Here’s another little secret, it makes you look like a more resilient person with a good head on your shoulders.

laugh at yourself

 

Laughter makes you feel good, laughter makes you look good and laughter improves your life.  So, why don’t we do it more often?  I have a challenge for you (and myself) – laugh every day at least 10 times a day – even if you don’t feel like it – laugh.  Just laugh.  Right now.  C’mon, let’s do it together.  Laugh … ha ha ha ha ….

There, that feels better already, doesn’t it? Good!

How do YOU bring laughter into your every day lives (even when you don’t feel like it)? I would love to hear from you in the comments!!

In a Perfect World

February 3, 2013 by MsCheevious

I’m sure you’ve heard the saying, “In a Perfect World.”

People use the saying sarcastically, or half in jest, but I’ve thought about it at length, and I’ve determined what would make my world perfect. If one has a true sense of who I am, it would be easy to assume my perfect world would consist of things like world peace, no hunger, no poverty, or maybe the discovery of the fountain of youth (now THAT one could run a close second). But no, my perfect world would be a world without bugs. And by “bugs” I mean insects, arachnids, or any creepy variety of creature similar to that, for which I do not know their scientific name, in general.

Let’s think about this, really.  No disrespect intended to the great powers that placed us on this clod of dirt floating through space, but, assuming there was “design” involved in all of this – I have to ask the question: Why bugs? If I were starting this whole concept over from scratch I think I’d have to bring in the focus groups and devise a way to get rid of the whole pollination/bug interaction thing.  There would be no bugs. Period.

No longer would I walk out my door on one of the few hundred sunny days per year in Southern California and be forced to cross the street to get away from a pesky horse fly or bee who has mistaken me for a flower and flown into my ear, up my nose or into my mouth as I’m speaking. Never again would I be the person invited to an outdoor gathering, and to everyone else’s delight, seem to be the only one the spiders, bees, ants, or any other bug are attracted to. I’ve actually been told that if I come to an outdoor party, they don’t have to worry about bug-repellent.

That’s it. No bugs. True bliss.

Don’t hate me. I’m only delivering the truth. Just see for yourself.

This is a water bug of some sort. Are those EGGS on his back? EWWWW

This one looks like some kind of thing I’ve seen on Family Guy or something. Blech.

Look at the bulgy red eyes on this one. And what kind of teeth are THOSE? ICK.

This guy looks like he just might creep into my nightmare one night. Look at those mean, evil ass eyes. OH.MY.GOD.

UGLY-BUG-15163

Here is a female horsefly. I really do NOT want to know where her legs have been.

And this guy… Well, okay. He’s kinda cute….

Spiny

I rest my case. Just sayin’.  Bug free would be pretty close to perfect.

And with that, I will bid you adieu for the week, my lovelies. Stay safe, and steer clear of the ugly bugs.

Love you people!!!! Mmmmppphhhuuuhhh!!!!
