Long Time No Hear

Hi there friends, it's me, Christina.  I know it's been quite a while since I've written, but don't worry I haven't forgotten you.  I could say I've been waiting for the right thing to come along and get me all fired up, but that wouldn't be truthful.  I could say, my love life has gotten so rich and fulfilling that I could think of nothing else, girl pleez you know that's a lie!  What I will say is its been too long, and someone as opinionated as me should never walk away from an opportunity to preach, teach, and pontificate.  My goal remains the same, share my thoughts - flaws and all.  With the deep down hope that you'll share yours and we'll all be richer and better for it.  Ohhh don't worry I won't get ahead of myself, I don't see this blog turning into the great bastion of deep thoughts - I will have my pop culture rants and you will laugh as you read them. 

So you guys know I turn 40 next month, right?  Well I'd set a personal goal to be fabulous by forty and since that achievement appears to have turned into a pipe dream I've decided to reach for a more realistic one...1,000 followers by the new year.  Do you think I can do it?  I think I can but I'll need your help and a committment to mass advertising.  Any thoughts on how to get these AWESOME - SUPER DUPER blog out there?  What do you think about my instituting a daily topic - you know something like...Sexy Saturdays or Wicked Wednesdays (and I'm not talking the Broadway play baby), Technology Tuesday (snooze), Tipsy Tuesday (oooh yeah!), Fabulous Faker Boy Friday....ohhh this madness could go on forever...

Just some thoughts...TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!  Off to meet the Russians!  (I'll fill you in later)

Long time no hear eh?

Well it's been a while friends, so here's the latest. I've moved from Denver for my dream job in DC, left my dream job for an even dreamier job, only to find it's more of a paranormal experience than a fantasy. I've gained 15 pounds - yuck, gotten a god awful hair cut, double yuck, and can't seem to get my Nittany Lions to stop from sabotaging their season - yuck, yuck, yuckity, yuck.

But alas I've snuck in a handful of super duper fun experiences - can you say BERMUDA! Yessirreee I went to the beach, on a boat, for 5 days....loved it! It was a last minute thing and I'm happy I did it...here's a pic to prove it. I also managed to take one of those once in a lifetime photos that I keep swearing I'm going to enter into some amateur photo contest. Check it out (it's the lighthouse, cool eh?)...

So here's the thing (that's me stealing a line from Kathy Griffin)...I know this blog has a very small readership, and I do my best to entertain, and share, but most of all entertain. So I know you'll totally get what I'm about to write...email me if you agree that crap like this only happens in my world. It's Saturday morning and like most Saturday mornings, I'm doing my best to stay in the bed as long as humanly possible. And the phone rings, what the hell?? My phone doesn't ring, and as my TRUE friends know it surely doesn't ring before 10 am. So I throw my ass out of bed and lunge for my blackberry to hear, "This is a prepaid call from federal prison from XXX." WTF??? Federal prison? Are you shittin' me, federal prison, I don't know no one in no damn federal prison. So I quickly hang up and go back to bed...ring, ring. No really?? Are they calling me back? "This is a prepaid call from federal prison from XXX."

Needless to say I hung up and they didn't call back, but as I was heading back to bed I chuckled. Because (here's where you all nod your head in agreement), it seems that the first man to call me, here in DC, ends up being an inmate in federal prison AND a wrong number - CLASSIC!!!

Until the next horror story...take care my friends and share my shame, I'd love to increase my readership...oh ohhhhh I have an idea about my next topic, it's gonna be gooooood.
