Throwing My Sister From The Train

I have to kill my sister - really I do. Somehow, some way - she must die. Last night when she came to the bar and opened her wallet I saw a new crisp $20 bill that was obviously the result of another "shakedown" of our ailing mother. What 50 year old woman mooches $20 off of her mother???? When she... Sign in to see full entry.

I Hate Amy Again - The Fued Is Back On

My own personal Rosie O'Donnell insulted me again last night. Now for those of you that read my blog you have heard me refer to Amy as Rosie so don't think I stole it from the headlines!!!! Yesterday's special was stuffed chicken breasts and the last time I made them I used Butcchie's recipe - this... Sign in to see full entry.

I Refuse To Be My Sister's Only Friend

Before Christmas - my gambling mooching sister had a major falling out with her eldest daughter over the "Visit to Virginia" which also included her ex-husband and his new wife. Holidays can be tricky with family members who are divorced but I have no experience (yet) with that. First there was no... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm Having Chest Pains And Here Comes An Eight-Top

And it's the "ten-tooer" people to boot - you know the kind - they come ten minutes before your shift is over and the kitchen WAS nice and clean. And dear sweet Amy is the bartender so I am never seeing this tip. Plus it was "Buc-A-Burger" day but that wasn't good enough for them - they wanted labor... Sign in to see full entry.

Is This As Good As It Gets?

It was just like a scene from that movie with Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt. I refused to wait on Charlie Burke Friday night. Charlie is 60-ish / had money / never been married and no kids / handsome for an older guy / but obnoxious and sexually disgusting. Charlie comes in every Friday night for...

The McClain Boys Peed On My Mother

As we sat down for Christmas Brunch, my mother shared the story of how the McClain boys would pee on her when she played numbers for her grandmother. I thought - what an odd way of bullying / no rocks / no sticks / she said they were poor / there still had to be a tree somewhere. And what made them... Sign in to see full entry.

I Am Getting A Tooth Pulled For Christmas

Tomorrow at 9:45am they are putting me under and taking out my wisdom teeth. I have already planned my demise / I will have a heart attack / possibly a stroke / maybe they will pull all of my teeth except the 2 front ones and I will look like a Beaver. The Christmas Beaver. I hadn't planned on this... Sign in to see full entry.

Just When You Thought It Was Over

It begins again. Been in love 3 times - they loved me back - pretty good odds it isn't happening again. I have known Dave for at least 10 years / very boyish good looks / works out / music teacher at several high schools / and attracted to younger women. He always prefer younger women because he...

The Grinch Is Giving Back Christmas

Funny thing about when your children grow up - they can become your best friends. My son (26) called me last night and was very concerned about the situation between myself and my daughters. Although he and his wife haven't started a family yet - he really put things into perspective for me. And... Sign in to see full entry.

I Feel Like Ebeneezer Scrooge

Not that I am cheap or anything - but as I lay awake in bed last night unable to sleep - I felt like I needed a visit from some ghosts. Nothing feels right this Christmas (in fact all year) and maybe that would shake me out of this funk I am in. The Christmas after my father died felt strange - but... Sign in to see full entry.
