I F—-ING HATE CANCER!!

Jan24

You will rarely see me curse but….Tonight I went to my best friends house, the one I was telling you has brain cancer. It’s been 7 weeks since we found out, and the deterioration is just unreal. 7 weeks ago she was laughing and smiling…today she was lifeless, sitting in a chair, barely able to speak. I just can’t believe it. Why does cancer even exist in America? Don’t we have some of the most advanced medical technology in the world? Does cancer exist because our government doesn’t want us to find a cure? Is it because if there was a cure for cancer we would no longer need all the chemotherapy, radiation, and drugs that help a patient FIGHT cancer. If there was a cure, the government would lose TRILLIONS of dollars since there is so much funding for cancer research, right? I don’t know all the facts, I haven’t researched it, but I know that my friend is fighting for her life and is fighting a losing battle. The doctors said we had 6-9 months! What the FUCK do they know? It’s been 7 weeks and she has deteriorated like a wilting flower with no sun and no water.

I FUCKING HATE CANCER…..that is all….

I run a nail salon, it’s on my property, and it’s just me and my clients all day. I can not even count the number of times I’ve met someone for the first time and know their life story by the end of their session. I’m pretty open about my life so I think my clients just totally get that I’m real and they can talk to me about ANYTHING. Here are the top 5 one liners I can think of off the top if my head. I’ll add more every couple days….

1. My husband bought me a feather tickler and some Kegel balls! We’re trying to spice things up…..

2. I want my nails SHARP….by husband likes it when I tickle the underside of his balls…..
Me: “Ummmmm, would you like start by washing your hands?”

3. My husband is requesting my nails be LESS sharp….I’m leaving welts from digging into his back while having sex….

4. “Don’t tell me you’ve never given your husband a rim job! We’ve all done it!”
Me: “Ummmmm, nope, I’ve seriously NEVER done that…..and NO I don’t want a drink of your coffee”

5. If I was a lesbian I would totally fuck you…..
Me: WOW!!! I’m flattered, if I was a lesbian I might take you up on that!”

You can’t make this stuff up….well I could but these are real….I promise! Lol.

I HATE…..

Jan23

I really hate the gym, but with all the pizza I’ve been eating lately, it is time to get my ass back to the gym. I’m getting Flubbery and squishy. Last year I lost a total of 40 pounds, I refuse to go backwards, considering we put in a pool last summer! Time to get my butt up and seize the day!

A Girl and Her Horse….

Jan22

My daughter started riding lessons today, it warms my heart to see her so incredibly passionate about something. She didn’t exactly get to ride per se, but she learned some facts about safety, and bonded with her new trainer and horse. I’m excited to see my daughter enjoy this facet of her teen years. I feel that it is so important for children to be passionate about something, and my daughter is passionate about horses and it showed tonight… I was so incredibly proud of her, she didn’t get frustrated, she never gave up, she asked a lot of questions, and made sure that she understood fully to her ability what was being presented to her. I’m so excited to watch this phase of my daughters life.

Homemade Pizza and The Kardashians……

Jan21

Tonight I’m sitting at home just chilling. I made homemade pizza for literally like the 12th time in a row since I started using my pizza stone. I’m having so much fun coming up with all sorts of different recipes! Tonight it was a white/pesto sauce with cheese, chicken, and more cheese! Since my husband sometimes works graveyard, it was just me and my two kiddles, (almost 13 and 15). We’ve pretty much stopped eating at the dinner table when it’s just the three of us, and retire to the living room where we watch a health dose of something crazy. Tonight it was Keeping up with the Kardashians…My kids and I LOVE the Kardashians. We don’t ogle the way the live or want to be like them, but it’s fun because it creates so much conversation between the three of us! I feel so lucky that my kids WANT to spend time with me at their age, and not just hole up in their rooms! I’m willing to bond over KUWTK…why not? So as we are sitting here eating our homemade pizza, watching the Kardashians, I wonder….What do other families do to bond?

What’s your family do to get conversation flowing or spend time together?

The Story of me….Well a partial backstory

Jan19

Hello fellow readers! My name is Bridget, I am a nail technician, (basically an unlicensed therapist), the mother of 2 beautiful children, a wife, a friend, a daughter, and a sister. I have so many crazy experiences and stories I look forward to sharing with you. This is the RAW account of my world. This is my Memoir, so to speak, only instead of reading this in a book you will get it live, and have the ability to interact with me. I ask that you please be kind, for I am continuing to grow as a person. Ask anyone who knows me well, and they will tell you that I am the first person who will admit my shortcomings….and I have A LOT! However, I am really just a girl who has been through so much; from dealing with an alcoholic husband who committed suicide, to getting married 10 months later. From the struggles of figuring our how to be a good mom, to figuring out how to be a good wife (the wife part I still struggle with!) I look forward to sharing with you how I see my world; I promise its a little warped at times….and I tend to poke fun at things that some people may not find humorous in the least bit. But this is MY story, and MY truth; I am the only person that holds the pages to this journey I call life…..

I have a bachelors degree in psychology, a minor in English, (you won’t always see me using correct grammar). l have no real therapeutic experience to “counsel people .” However, I do have real world experience, and have given advice to many women who have sat in my chair. I have people who have come in and out of my life who have utterly inspired me to down right frustrate me. All of these accounts are leading me to be a better person. I hope my stories inspire people to believe in themselves and to be kinder, gentler individuals. There’s a saying that I learned early on, in my 20s, from one of my dearest friends Miss Kay…..”You teach people how to treat you.” This couldn’t be more true; and with that being said, I hope you enjoys my writings and as I reveal myself to you….
