"just friends"

So I came home from a long day of teaching to some great posts from fellow bloggers yesterday. You go girls! Needless to say I spent much of my evening reading everyone's posts!

Fellow Blogger Brittney @http://runninginhiheels.blogspot.com/
has a great post on men and women and they can or cannot just be "friends".

I couldn't help but think of When Harry Met Sally. I LOVE that movie.

Part 1 of the Just friends banter between Harry and Sally.

 

Part 2




My stance?

I agree with Harry. His whole view everything when he tells Sally that Men and Women can't be "just friends" because there is always some sexual tension that gets in the way. Agreed.
I have a few "guy friends" that in fact, have admitted that they are/were attracted to me, and thus that just added fuel to the fire of this so called friendship. The fuel is usually added when you also in fact, as the girl, find your guy friend good looking!

And of course there are the guy friends that you AREN'T attracted to, but they are to you. This can either pose it's self as a problem if the guy friend admits it to you, or he doesn't admit it, but you so can totally tell.

And I'll  be honest, I've encountered a few handsome men, who thankfully have girlfriends, but none of the less, am attracted to. BUT, it's never more than just that. No actions are taken. Maybe this just falls along the lines of a crush.

The only guy friends I have today,  are in fact married, (and most are my college guy friends) so therefore anything other than "just friends" isn't an option!

Watch for yourself. then tell me.....Can Men and Women really truly just be "friends"?

Top Indulgences!


Tuesday's Top 2 Topic over at Undomestic Momma is 
Your top 2 INDULGENCES!!!


{1} c o o k i e s .....
Seriously. I can NEVER turn down cookies. Specifically Chips A Hoy. I always have some my kitchen pantry. It's the one sweet I'll never give up. It's my feel better food. I don't know why. Just is.



{2} Salon Shampoos.

I could probably review every shampoo on the market someday in a blogpost for you all to see that I have tried just about every shampoo on the market that's salon or grocery store quality.

My current buy (that I haven't tried yet soon though!)

I think I have probably mentioned a few times that I am a freak about my hair. I've never dyed it (was never allowed to growing up or even get a perm!) so I take really good care of it!

Yay a new novel is soon to be here!

Alright all you Nicholas Sparks fans
I was on FB and saw this side ad that caught my eye and whatdoya know....
The MAN is putting out another new novel!!! Woo hoo!

If you'd like you can read about it here

I am very much a book snob when it comes to his books. I own EVERY single book by him in hardback because he is one of my favorite authors! 

Well that's it for now I fear....I can't blog anymore till I get home from teaching, so my apologies if my comments and posts come super late at night, it's the only time I can find time to think and write and read everyting!
Ciao.

If you really knew me...

So first thing this morning I saw this on 2 fellow bloggers pages...via Natasha @ Day in the life and via Jen @ Westsac Honey and to be honest I really liked the vulernablity of the post and thought it would be neat to do it as well!


This post is based on the MTV show “If You Really Knew Me”… synopsis-- high school teens opening up from different cliques in their respective groups—the jocks, the nerds, emo's, and so on and so forth...They attempt to break down the typical high school barriers that we experience when you get labeled into a clique.








If you really knew me, you'd know that...

~*I often pee with the door open (never in public you sick minded ones LOL but at close friend's house or my own yeah!)

~*I watched my own mother die in our house, and get zipped up in a body bag at the age of 13 to Breast and Kidney Cancer. How many of you can say they have this heartbreaking experience as a childhood memory?

~*This is probably the stupidest thing, but I get easily angered by SLOW walkers...in the store, in the mall, on the side walk wherever they are in proximity to me....You slow down in front of me, you usually get a verbal smart as$ remark as I pass you! 

~*I have a fear of bees. And I have no problem admitting that I think the world would be a better place without them and their honey bec I don't eat honey! No really, I hear them buzzz.zzzzzzz...ing anywhere near me, I run. I run fast. Far away as I can get from them!

~*If you really knew me, you'd know that High school were not the greatest years for me. I had a really hard time "fitting in" since I had to change schools right after Sophomore year because of my father remarrying and wanting to move us two towns over. Needless to say, cliques were made come Junior year, and I often sat at a different lunch table because I had no real "group" that I belonged to!

~*I often talk like I write....
whichmeansInevertakeabreathoreverputperiodsintherightplace
mytalkingismuchlike
a runoncsentence...
so my dad often says "Breathe between your sentences" haha.


~* I LOVE Peas. I know weird..I'm a freak! They are seriously my favorite vegetable! 
Straight from yours truly very own kitchen cabinet!

~*Up until this summer, since I was 16, I have ALWAYS paid for gas in CASH. Yep thats right. NEVER used a debit/credit card till this summer when I Just had to from the road trip to get Mister Wonderful from Ohio to AZ. It was Soooo hard for me! But since I have given up waitressing, I don't have any cash just one me anymore, so I have to use the card! ugh!

~*I was allergic to New Carpet as a kid. No joke. This is why I pretty much wear socks year round. Force of habit from my kiddo days. Now when it's 110 in AZ, no I'm not wearing socks, but most of the time I do when it cools down!
~*Moles bother me. To the point that if I find any raised one on me, I go to the derm to have taken off regardless of it being cancerous or not. I hate them. Hate Hate Hate!!! 

~* I often feel estranged from much of my family (my dad, brother, all aunts and uncles due to my mom dying, my dad remarrying, my step mom etc etc) This has gone on for years, and has become "Normal" for me never to see anyone :( I haven't seen my dad in over a year and a half.) 

~* I know a lot about dogs. I used to show my childhood dog when I was younger, and once wanted to be a vet (till I saw all the blood and said NEVERMIND plus the billion more years a vet has to go to school!) This is why I am a freak about the treatment of animals and Never ever do anything after work till I have GONE HOME first to let my pet out to potty. I take pet ownership very seriously and can flip my lid easy when I see people not taking care of animals/ or what they say are pets very seriously!

~*I am piercing free (other than my ears) and tattoo free. Yep what can I say, I like my body naked! LOL

~*I've never EVER smoked a cigarette. In fact, second had and first had smoke bothers me so much, that I usually gag and have to remove my self from the stench. I never go outside at bars or near people smoking. They stink. Period. Gross. Yellow teeth. Bad breath. Clothes smell. You can't hide it, but I can chose to look/walk the other way!

~*I have one regret in life. Yep thats right just ONE.
I regret giving up horseback riding. I quit a few months after my mom died, because there was no cheering section for me during my lessons anymore....
and I was good!!!!!!!!! I came in first and second in a few horse shows!

~* I've never  flatulence/flatus, tooted, cut the cheese, break wind etc etc ( I hate the word fart LOL) in front of any boyfriend I've ever had. This might be TMI (too much info for some) Not once. I was with my ex for 4 years and never did. Not even with Mister Wonderful. Thankfully he doesn't do that around me. We try to be very alert about that stuff and mannerly..sometimes couples get too comfortable, so we are both pretty adamant about that. Keeps things "new" feeling.

~*I struggled through school. Always went to class, always bombed tests. And yet here I am today in Education! ha. 

And other last bits of randomness...
I'm left handed. I NEVER wear red-- it's my worst color. Same with brown. YUCK. Just doesn't suit me. I wish I could give up tanning.  I want to have kids someday, but am TERRIFIED of never losing the baby weight. Trust me. I've seen lots of momma friends that just are to tired, and devote every second to their kid and not on them. I don't know if I could do that......If you look good, you feel good, why should that go away just because you are a mom? 

Okay....Hopefully I have babbled enough....Any similarities/or sound like you?

Your Input please _

To my dear fellow readers...I need some help!

I have a very impt B day coming up! (no, it's not mine, it's Mister Wonderful's)
Mister Wonderful is turing the B I G


30! His B day is on Sept 11th (kinda a crappy B day thanks to the horrid terrorist attack that happened in 2001)

Anywhoo.......

I am totally stumped for ideas on what to get him. So far, I have gotten a milestone B day card and that's it!

I am going to order one of these...

Ice cream roll cakes are THE BEST from Baskin Robbins!

He needs another swimsuit and some work out shorts, but when I went to EastBay, or any other sporting goods store online, it asks me what type of shorts? Ahh work out shorts have to be a type? I mean I know he doesn't wear the long basketball shorts, but I do know he prefers the shorts to have POCKETS in them for when he's at the gym, he can put his keys an cell with him at all times. When I type this into searches, I don't really find much! Any ideas?

There are like a MILLION places to go here in Scottsdale, and I want to take him somewhere nice not your typical Cheesecake factory dinner. Ladies, any ideas for the Phoenix/Scottsdale area? 

On another note, today I bought these

I wrote a while back about how Mister Wonderful has gotten me to take some vitamins. I was taking Women's Alive which has a lot of stuff women need. The downside, they are the size of HORSE pills and I cannot swallow them for the life of me. Even cut in half, they struggle going down and taste TERRIBLE. Come on vitamin makers REALLY??!? That's the best you can do!? 
So much to my relief, One a Day released the chewables FINALLY. Taste like candy! What could be better!?
