Happy Hump Day!
DC Princess AKA Q AKA Numbah 1 AKA Sistah from anotha mistah has a pretty kick ass contest/giveaway going on over on her blog. All you have to do is click the link, read, and finish the sentence: Born to ______. She will take care of the rest. (You should follow her on Networked Blogs too. Just saying)
The title to today’s blog is what my answer was. Reading a lot of the other answers, I felt kinda cheated. I think that Q is seeking thoughtful answers. Answers that come from the persons heart. To speak to who they are individually. If I was her, I would be.
My answer is true to me. I enjoy motivating other people to do good. Be it good for themselves, or good for others.
The other day I was talking to a co-worker about my progress with South Beach. She has been looking to make a change, but wasnt sure how or if it would work for her and in her lifestyle. The thing that she worried about, I worried about: How will my family work around my dieting. When we talked about how D and the kids simply add a starch to the same meal I enjoy… and I have extra veggies, I think she was sold. I linked her… and off she went.
Another friend mentioned that my (yes I know FINALLY) publishing Submissive Confessions *cough*haveyouboughtyoursyet*cough* inspired her thinking. She might pull some of her work together and also self-publish. This makes me super duper happy.
And then, I think I helped another friend figure out what she wanted to do for her blog layout. She was experience creative blockage. That sucks more than anything… to want so badly to be creative, but be completely stuck in a rut.
Not that I am blowing smoke up my own ass or anything, which I often do I know… but it just feels really good to help people feel good about themselves. In whatever way I can. Inspiration = happiness. At least for me anyway.
In other news, Charli is the biggest brat on the planet. I am not sure if I have ever seen such a bratty display of the terrible 2’s ever. I desperately need to get her into a playgroup. She needs to learn to share. She beats and bosses the hell out of her brother, and I am not sure that it is a healthy learning progression for her. She knows that she can tell him what to do and get her way. In another environment, I think that it will be a different dynamic.
On a good note, she pooped on the potty the other day. We cheered, did the “Charli pooped on the potty dance and high 5″ and went about our business.
From then on though, she hasn’t. Whenever I ask… no matter if she has to/has gone/needs to go… the answer is always “NO” when I ask about the poop. She will tell D and X the truth, right in front of my face. But when I ask, in the same moment of a “YES” to her daddy… I get a “NO MOMMY!”
WTF?!
Speaking of business, the naked cunt-whore coffee stand that I putmyfootdownbutDstillgoestoseeanyway so the foot down was not effective at all… has a new slut. Today, she was wearing skull and crossbones pasties. Even the most avid pirate lovers should see the tacky in this display.
D: “Mia–”
Me: “does she really need to have a name? Cant you just use dumbnakedcoffeewhore? A name associated makes me want to punch you in your junk”
D: “Sorry. dumbnakedcoffeewhore was wearing skull and crossbones pasties.”
Me: “Defamation of pirate character. Did you say “Arrrrrrrgh” to her?”
D: “uhh no. But she totally put my change in her thong and stuck her ass out the window so I could … uhm … retrieve it.”
Me: Blink Blink.
D: (cracking up.)
Me: “ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?”
D: (dying)
Me: “Guess who is going to be a good wife and get you coffee tomorrow?”
D: “You are so cute when you are protective.”
Me: “If by protective you mean punch her in her ass when she hands me my change back normally tomorrow.”
D: “what?.”
Me: “I better get my change returned to me in the exact same way as you did.”
D: “What do you mean?”
Me: “The change receipt procedure should be the exact same for all customers.”
D: “She isnt gonna do it.”
Me: “I know she isnt. Wait til you see the look on her face when I ask her why you received it out of her ass crack, and I am stuck with hand to hand contact.”
D: “You wont.”
Me: “Bet.”
To be continued…
Finish the sentence! “Born to ______” (tell me AND Q)
Also…….. What was your favorite saturday morning cartoon growing up?

You inspire me. Everyday. You have been inspiring me everyday since I met you…which is why I am super proud that you finally went through with SC.
And you know those moments when you are missing a word and somehow, for some reason, I can pull it out my ass?
Happiest moments of my life when I can help you. Because you.are.amazing.

I love old school Looney Tunes.
I am still determining what I was born to do. Work in progress, you know?
LivingWicked Reply:
August 4th, 2009 at 21:00
I do too. Those used to consume my Saturday AM’s as a kid.
Born to be a WIP? (Kidding.) I am just now figuring it out, so I get it.
August 4th, 2009 at 21:53
LMFAO! can’t wait to hear about the coffee whore tomorrow
Born to be: a Mom
I am so transparent. But it’s deep to me.

August 5th, 2009 at 04:17
I’m, kinda old school…bugs bunny and friends was my favorite cartoon…..still is, esp. Marvin the Martian and Taz!
I don’t know that I was born to do any one thing….I’ll think about it!

I love old school bugs bunny. <3 Marvin the Martian was so hilarious. HAHA.

I always like Captain Caveman..
As to the stupid coffee whore Court, you will probably get your change the same way D did. You know those trashy bitches love to fuck with you as much as they do men…

August 5th, 2009 at 07:49
I dont remember Captain Caveman.
We will see. I bet she doesn’t.
August 5th, 2009 at 05:17
I am pretty sure I would LOVe to be the fly on the wall when you go up to dumbnakedcoffeewhore. That shit is gonna be priceless.
My fav cartoon as a kid.. hmm. I was a huge fan of the old Transformers, GoBots, and Xmen. and Thundercats. yes. But I knew that Sat mornin TV schedule by heart. In fact, I know what time my baby brother was born.. because he was 4 hours old when Mom n Dad brought him home on saturday morning, when the Bugs Bunny n tweety show was on.
I’m gonna say… I was Born to Nurture. I take care of people. I become ‘the mom’ for the people in my circle. It’s completely natural for me.
(and I’m glad that little oomph of motivation i had made you happy. i just hope i can find the guts to make it happen)

Thundercats ruled. The end.
Ooooh. I like that. It totally fits you.
And, me too. I got your back girl.
August 5th, 2009 at 06:59
OMG. I just needed to tell you that I read the preview of SC from Lulu and I’m totally buying it when I get paid tomorrow. It sucked me right in.
My favorite cartoon as a kid was x-men for sure!

Um… I almost bought a pair of pirate pasties this weekend – true story – so I clicked the link thinking you had a pic of hers… I couldn’t run around buying the same pasties as skankwhorefacecoffeebitch. It just wouldn’t be right.
Favorite cartoon was the Snorks. and the smurfs. and Gummi Bears….Rescue Rangers…the whole Disney afternoon lineup really.
You inspire me. Lots. Your random question txts inspired several blogs. You think deeper and more intricately than most people and share your questions and it makes ME think deeper and more intricately about what matters and what is superficial.

That link was to my last blog about whore-istas, and the other link was to YOUR blog. HAHAHA.
Would the pirate pasties be for Clover’s eyes only? Because then and ONLY then are they acceptable. Well, then and at the strip club.
I loved the Rescue Rangers. And Tailspin.
You inspire me too. I love that you are so quirky and just dont give a fuck. It inspires me to care less what other people think. (the little amount of caring that I do have anyway)

pasties WOULD only for his eyes lol. I’m brave and a bit tacky at times – but not quite THAT brave or tacky.

I always loved Ben & Jerry and the SuperFriends, especially The Wonder Twins.
Born to…so many things come to mind. The one thing that keeps resonating with all the things in some way or the other is BORN TO GIVE. of myself, my heart, my truth,of me…
And I agree with Squish. you do inspire…

You are inspiring. And helpful. And smart. And you make me feel better.
I can’t pick my favorite Saturday morning cartoon from the 80’s, or the 90’s. There were too many, and Saturday mornings were the only times during my childhood that I wanted to sit in front of the TV. What was your favorite show? :]
LivingWicked Reply:
August 5th, 2009 at 11:22
Cartoon? Looney Toones. Hands down.
August 6th, 2009 at 10:49
Obvi you have MUCH more confidence than I because I would beat my husband senseless were he to frequent said whore-shack. I am dying to know what happens when you confront the wannabe-pirate!!

I was operating on 2 hours sleep yesterday and blogs were difficult to focus on…
Having not been continuously around for a while, I clicked on this blog – and then, had to go read the other blog re: the pasties and g-string serving baristas to catch up. WHERE IN THE HELL in Seattle is that located? I mean, I remember the little coffee shacks all over – and GOD I miss them…
As for Saturday morning cartoons.. my favourite was the Monchhichi’s. So bummed they didn’t last.
