			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Happy Hump Day! </p>
<p><img src="http://thepqnation.com/livingwicked/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/emsaiq0rldo_HappyHumpDay-300x246.jpg" alt="emsaiq0rldo_HappyHumpDay" title="emsaiq0rldo_HappyHumpDay" width="300" height="246" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2066" /></p>
<p>How goes it? What is new? </p>
<p>Life is hectic. I am missing 1/2 of me. He has taken a trip that has left us all kinda in limbo for a 90 day period. Read between the lines. If you know anything about me, you will get it. Furthermore, I am financially fucking strapped. My new job kicks all sorts of ass <em>(i.e. me and Tarable kicking our bosses asses on a consistent basis)</em> but like I have said before, it is slow to start money-wise. Therefore, I am creatively surviving. If you know of any ways to make money <em>(other than selling my pretty vagina which again if you know anything about me I am not necessarily opposed to, given the circumstances)</em> and legitimately please let me know. Thanks.</p>
<p><strong>Moving on.</strong></p>
<p>What is most awesome about my job is the limitless fun we have. Granted, there are a couple of people that I would absolutely LOVE to 1) punch in the face and 2) see get fired or 3) quit but that goes with any job. </p>
<p>Especially MakesHerOwnClothes broad. That bitch has no clue. None. She consistently assumes that I am in fact the motherfucking one when I am actually NOT the one. Like, so not the one that it isnt even funny. She runs around thinking she is so fucking great, when in all honesty, she is so far from great that it is comical. </p>
<p>It took me everything not to fuck her up on Monday. Why do ignorant people get to pull off the dumbest fucking things and GET AWAY WITH IT?! </p>
<p><strong>Example:</strong> I am mid conversation when she runs up and elbows me out of the way, INTERRUPTS my conversation only to start a conversation with the person I was having a motherfucking CONVERSATION WITH. </p>
<p><em>Um. Really?</em></p>
<p>1) I was in front of the HR office.<br />
2) I need my job.<br />
3) It would be kinda silly to beat her ass in the middle of my place of employment. </p>
<p><img src="http://thepqnation.com/livingwicked/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/girlfight-button1-261x300.jpg" alt="girlfight-button" title="girlfight-button" width="261" height="300" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2067" /></p>
<p>Even thought I reeeeeeeeeeeeeally fucking wanted to. Like, R E A L L Y.</p>
<p>/sigh.</p>
<p>It sucks being an adult sometimes. Given my temper. Given my complete and total gangsterness that pumps through my veins on a daily motherfucking basis. </p>
<p>Sometimes. I. Just. Want. To. Freely. Beat. The. Shit. Out. Of. Stupid. Bitches.</p>
<p><img src="http://thepqnation.com/livingwicked/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/stupid-300x300.jpg" alt="stupid" title="stupid" width="300" height="300" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2068" /></p>
<p>She is lucky that I have 2 little baby bird&#8217;s mouths to feed. She is also really lucky that I respect my bosses and value their opinions as much as I do. This takes me back to my blog about adulthood and how sometimes it would really be nice to have a free punchabitchintheface card. Or a day a year where you can just punch people freely in the face and have absolutely NO consequences. </p>
<p>Who is with me?</p>
<p><img src="http://thepqnation.com/livingwicked/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/raise-your-hand-299x247.jpg" alt="raise-your-hand" title="raise-your-hand" width="299" height="247" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2069" /></p>
<p>I motherfucking thought so.</p>
<p><strong>Who would YOU like to punch in the face right now?</strong></p>
<p><strong><em>When is the last time you played the air guitar?<br />
What&#8217;s the weirdest thing you have done while driving?<br />
Have you ever called out the wrong name while having sex?</em><br />

<p>Don&#8217;t make me bust out the infamous &#8220;Kid N Play&#8221; dance. </p>
<p>As I was saying, what ever happened to these parties? Where the refrigerators are packed to the brim with 40 oz&#8217;s of malt liquor and the bitches were running around naked all while a Dr. Dre/Snoop Dogg song played as the soundtrack?</p>

<p>Anybody? Bueller?</p>
<p><img src="http://thepqnation.com/livingwicked/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/bueller_bueller_tshirt-p23508326627634177033qt_400-300x300.jpg" alt="bueller_bueller_tshirt-p23508326627634177033qt_400" title="bueller_bueller_tshirt-p23508326627634177033qt_400" width="300" height="300" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1975" /></p>
<p>I remember a time where so&#8217;n&#8217;so would tell a friend and that friend would tell another friend who would tell 5 friends who would tell 5 more friends (including me) about a dope kegger going on that weekend. When we would show up fashionably late there would be some poor parents house, full of drunken adolescents. The music was loud. The alcohol was flowing like the Snoqualmie Falls after a good rain. There was fucking going on in bedrooms and dark corners of the house. It was good music. Fun people, except for when 2 really drunk friends decided they hated each other for 5 minutes and wanted to fistfight in the middle of the fucking kitchen over some stupid bitch with no ass and over-sized titties. </p>
<p>Yep I went there. </p>
<p>I don&#8217;t miss any of THAT. What I do miss is walking into a party full of people that I don&#8217;t or barely know with a nice buzz going on. I want to mingle. I want to laugh at other&#8217;s drunken-ness. I want to blend and enjoy not being known in a social environment that is BYOB, not charge $9 a drink at the bar. A place where the DJ is the homie so I can go up to him and request an old school Lost Boyz song and he not only KNOW WHAT SONG I AM TALKING ABOUT but motherfucking HAVE THAT SHIT ALREADY QUEUED TO PLAY.</p>

<p>I want to find a random girl OR boy to make out with. Just like, walk up to him/her and fucking &#8220;blalalalalallalala&#8221; their face with my face all immature like. </p>
<p>I want to watch a fight break out. </p>
<p>I want to see a girl and a guy break up. (whatever I am callus like that)</p>
<p>I want to see some fuckin.</p>
<p>Or maybe I just want to be young and without responsibility again. Either way, I miss a good house party.</p>
<p><em>What is the awesomest house party you ever hosted/attended?</em></p>
<p><em><strong>Who do you truly admire?<br />
Would you really rather go naked then wear fur?<br />
Who are on your &#8220;List&#8221; of hotties that you would fuuuuuuuuuuuuck if given the opportunity to?</strong></em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to round 2 of <a href="http://thepqnation.com/livingwicked/2009/10/honest-tuesdays-1/">Honest Tuesday&#8217;s</a>. It is kinda like TMIT&#8217;s but not raunchy &#8230; nor will it make you throw up in your mouth. It is more of a weekly check yourself blog. What are you lying to yourself about? What are you pretending to be okay with but really are not okay with? Who are you really?</p>
<p>So I will go first. You will then read, judge me (yes you will) and then purge your own brutal honesty. Be anonymous if you like. I don&#8217;t care. It will feel better to say something honest rather than keep it in and lie to yourself and others forever.</p>
<p>I wont judge. Much. *winkwinkwink*</p>
<p>On this Tuesday, I will admit that I am not as mean, brash, hard core as I may like to come across to others. </p>
<p><img src="http://thepqnation.com/livingwicked/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/shocked-300x300.jpg" alt="shocked" title="shocked" width="300" height="300" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1965" /></p>
<p><strong>Shut up. </strong></p>
<p>Look. I will beat a bitch down if I am <strong>1)</strong> instigated against <strong>2)</strong> drunk enough and provoked <strong>3)</strong> in the mood to. </p>
<p><img src="http://thepqnation.com/livingwicked/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/girlfight-button1-261x300.jpg" alt="girlfight-button" title="girlfight-button" width="261" height="300" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1966" /></p>
<p>It is true. I am not a tough girl. All of the time anyway. Don&#8217;t get it twisted though. I am not scared of no bitch no how. <em>(It is serious enough to have an intentional grammatical error in my blog to irritate most of you reading it.) </em></p>
<p>This is the thing though. </p>
<p>I am not young. I seem to have adapted this ability to <em>&#8220;assess the situation&#8221;</em> with my oldER age of 30. Meaning, if a bitch is all disrespectful like in my face or anyone&#8217;s face around me that I give a shit about &#8230; I have begun to make a decision based on factors. </p>
<p>FACTORS. Who in the fuck makes a decision based on FACTORS?! Oh that&#8217;s right. Adults do. Adults who apparently need to set an example for their offspring do. I have been handed this memo certified letter style by D to remind me of my temper/mouth/flailing fucking fist on too many an occasion. </p>
<p><strong>This memo reads something like this:</strong></p>
<p>Dear Wifey,</p>
<p>You should reconsider your hot headed-ness in the following situations:</p>
<p>1) Grocery stores. <em>(That bitch really was that dumb. I promise. It wasn&#8217;t an intentional jam on your ankle with her grocery cart)</em></p>
<p>2) Public FAMILY gatherings.<em> (It is possible that parents of other offspring do not know what the fuck they are doing. You YELLING it across multiple children in profane verbiage is not appropriate. Yes I agree with you. SILENTLY)</em></p>
<p>3) In the car. <em>(There are kids in the car with you. THE BITCH CANNOT HEAR WHAT A CUNT SHE IS ON THE FREEWAY IN ANOTHER VEHICLE! Your children however, can hear. When Charli uses the word cunt in front of people &#8230; I guarantee you will be mortified.)</em></p>
<p>Please adhere to the above mentioned guidelines promptly to avoid me laying the smack down on your vulgar ass.</p>
<p>Love, D.</p>
<p><img src="http://thepqnation.com/livingwicked/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/cb_pouty_tshirt-300x300.jpg" alt="cb_pouty_tshirt" title="cb_pouty_tshirt" width="300" height="300" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1967" /></p>
<p>Hmph. So what you are saying is, that I am too old to be vulgar? NEVAH! I get it though. If I want my kids to grow up with more tack than I have, I need to put a mild cork in it. Fine. Fine D. You win this time. But let me get drunk enough around NO KIDS or POLICE or BOUNCERS. SAY I WONT GOD DAMNIT!</p>
<p>Also, along with the not being tough admittance for this Honest Tuesday &#8230; I will confess a little about my non-toughness. I am sure all of you beezos will get a big fat kick out of it too. </p>
<p>1) I cry at that one State Farm Commercial where a young M.J. is singing &#8220;I&#8217;ll Be There&#8221; at the very beginning. Every. Single. Time. Single tear styles. </p>
<p><img src="http://thepqnation.com/livingwicked/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/singletear-300x157.jpg" alt="singletear" title="singletear" width="300" height="157" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1968" /></p>
<p>2) When Xavier and Charli hug one another, I cry. Like a baby.</p>
<p>3) I cry at chick flicks. </p>
<p>4) Puppies and kitties melt my heart. So do babies. And love. And sentimental gestures. And poetry. And corny pop songs. Sometimes I cry about one or more of these things. </p>
<p>5) I cry after really great sex. </p>
<p>6) I like to do stupid things for people I like. For instance, every Valentines Day, I buy the little Valentine cards and leave them on my co-workers desks. Or I bring the ladies in my life daisies. Or I draw love notes on the fog in the bathroom for X or D to tell them that I love them when they get out of the shower. </p>
<p>See? Not tough. I am a big fucking sap actually.</p>
<p><strong>Shhhh. No one can ever know this secret about me. Keep it between us, K?</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://thepqnation.com/livingwicked/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/128785279224941612-300x192.jpg" alt="128785279224941612" title="128785279224941612" width="300" height="192" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1969" /></p>
<p><strong>What is your Honest Tuesday Confession??? </strong></p>
<p><strong><em>What turns you off about the opposite sex?<br />
What country would you like to visit most? Why?<br />
Would you give a homeless person CPR?</em></strong></p>

<p>My parents weren&#8217;t go-out-and-do-shit parents. Meaning, you know how there are those one parents where every weekend they had this hike or that museum planned to go and do? Yeah. My parents weren&#8217;t those parents. For most of my youth, we were poor so it was hard to do stuff. </p>
<p>Looking back I could say that I wished that they were those parents. But I don&#8217;t. Not really. We have never really been <em>&#8216;that family&#8217;. </em> We did go and do things. The things we did do were fun times. So I like the fact that what we did meant something&#8230; because I think that, from the outside looking in &#8230; many of those families are not happy ones behind closed doors. Generally speaking anyway. </p>
<p><em>(Yes I am aware that this is not all cases and that there are those truly happy 50&#8217;s white picket fence chocolate chip cookies when you got home from school families.)</em></p>
<p>When I was really little my dad drove truck so he was gone during the week a lot of the time. I remember missing him a great deal, and I think that him being gone is the main reason why I was drawn to him the way that I was. I would wait and wait to see or hear his semi truck pull up outside and run as fast as my little feet could move me across the gravel into his bear-arms. </p>
<p><img src="http://thepqnation.com/livingwicked/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/Semi_truck_illus.jpg" alt="Semi_truck_illus" title="Semi_truck_illus" width="360" height="270" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1298" /></p>
<p>I have always thought that my dad was the coolest dad on the planet. </p>
<p>I remember this one time when he came home, he wanted to take me and my mom out to dinner. As promised, we went to dinner in his truck. When we got there, he came around to get me out of the passenger side. I was so small then; the length of the step from the truck to the bottom step seemed a mile long. I blindly, and in an excited hurry grabbed the steam/exhaust pipe instead of the handle.</p>
<p><em>I can still feel the pain on the palm of my hand when I think about it to this day. </em></p>
<p>I screamed and cried as he rescued me and rushed me into the restaurant where I promptly placed my hand in a big glass of ice water. He sat right next to me and told me jokes to try and make me forget about the burn. </p>
<p><em>&#8220;How about I punch you in the other arm. You won&#8217;t feel your hand then.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>We used to wrestle.<br />
He used to give me &#8220;Monkey Bumps&#8221; cause he thought that shit was funny.<br />
He helped me with my math homework. I really suck at math.<br />
He likes to sing. He has a pretty good voice.<br />
He tried to get me to golf. I sucked.<br />
My dad taught me how to drive.<br />
He made me walk to the store when I got my period to buy tampons.<br />
We fish. A lot less than I would like, but&#8230; </em><strong></p>
<p>As I grew into into me, only a hormonal teenager, we began to beef on a daily basis. I don&#8217;t know where the rift began, but I know where it ended: When I moved out. He and I are so much alike that it is frightening. Our strong personalities under one roof with one of them being an authoritative figure was like mixing oil and water. </p>
<p>I pushed, he pushed harder. I yelled, he yelled louder. I slammed doors, he slammed harder. But when push came to shove, I knew that he loved me. Maybe that is why I pushed so hard. Maybe &#8230; that is why he pushed back that much harder. </p>
<p>Would I change it? Nah. I think that all of the tumultiousness that was our father daughter relationship made us that much more awesome today. He has put up with a great deal of shit with me and my wanting-to-do-it-the-hard-way every time. </p>
<p>When I enlisted in the Navy, and actually followed through with leaving for boot camp,and then tech school&#8230; and then a ship&#8230; I think that he realized that there was something within me that I actually took away from the things he used to preach to me as a kid. When I returned home, and saw him for the first time, wrapped in his bear-arms again, I truly felt like a little girl again and I remembered that I loved him. We just kinda fell into something pretty great from that moment.</p>
<p>But it wasn&#8217;t perfect. *I* wasn&#8217;t that great of a daughter all of the time.</p>
<p><strong>I got married before D and didn&#8217;t tell my parents until afterward. My selfish ass didn&#8217;t consider that maybe my dad wanted to walk me down the isle.<br />
I got my dad fired from Metro. (I didnt know at the time) He had bags of bus fare in his room to turn in, and I stole so.much.change. What I didn&#8217;t know, is that he almost faced criminal charges for it. (I later found this out after jokingly telling him that I was the one who stole the change)<br />
The cops were called to my house several times. Because of my fight instigation.<br />
I am pretty sure that I told my dad that I hated him angrily&#8230; one time too many.</strong><em></p>
<p>Above all, my dad has always embraced me for me. He has expressed his thoughts as to who he thought that I should become, but understood <del datetime="2009-06-30T05:33:45+00:00">(after some adjustment)</del> and accepted who I chose to be and how I chose to live my life and conduct my business. I think that I can say that he is proud of me. </p>
<p>But most importantly, my dad is an honest man. He treats my mom with the utmost respect. My dad <del datetime="2009-06-30T05:33:45+00:00">(thinks he)</del> is funny. He lives life with an &#8220;it is what it is&#8221; motto. He isn&#8217;t perfect, but he always stands up for what is right and what he believes in. I may not like it at the time&#8230; but that doesn&#8217;t matter. I know when I call him and I ask him for his advice, he is gonna give it to me. No sugar coating. No bullshit. None of it. </p>
<p><strong>And that is more than I can say for most people in the world.</strong><br />
<strong></p>
<p>What kind of relationship do you have with the dad in your life?<br />
Have you ever done something that made your dad burst with pride?<br />
What is the worst thing you ever did as a teen/kid and got busted for?</strong></em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>My parents specifically. At Squish&#8217;s request. </strong></p>
<p>This is an intro kinda to who they are in relationship to me and how we got here.</p>
<p>I am still pondering what specifically intrigues her about my parents &#8230; other than how freaking awesome they happen to be. Mostly anyway. I didn&#8217;t always think that they were though. In fact back in the day, I used to think that my parents were the strictest, dumbest people on the planet to ever live in the history of parents.<br />
<em><br />
&#8216;Used to&#8217; being the key phrase.<br />
</em><br />
My parents and I have an interesting relationship. I know now that when I don&#8217;t like something that they have to say&#8230; I <del datetime="2009-06-24T02:41:10+00:00">politely</del> with an attitude say good bye and hang up or leave. Usually when I dont like what I am hearing it is because they are telling me the truth. I am going to eventually want to hear the truth, but sometimes my dad chooses to shove it down my throat at the most inopportune fucking times sometimes. I love that with us, what you see is what you get. I don&#8217;t have to lie. I don&#8217;t have to pretend that everything is wonderful. If they want to drop by, I don&#8217;t feel like I need to rush around and make my house pristine. It might just be fucking messy. And if it is&#8230; they don&#8217;t judge me for it. My parents just kinda get it. And me. They get that I am pretty much not going to front about shit, and that, no matter what&#8230; I am always going to be me. I love that my parents have just accepted and embraced me for who I am&#8230; and not try to mold me into something that they think I should be. </p>
<p>Because of the above, I can say that I am blessed. And mean it. I know this because when I talk to other people about how they have to hide a part of themselves in order to please their parents &#8230; I have had to bite my tongue &#8230; because I am confused as to who in the hell these parents think they are for making their kids lives such turmoil that they can never really be themselves around them?</p>
<p><img src="http://thepqnation.com/livingwicked/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/fotolia_11228098_xs1-300x226.jpg" alt="Jaw" title="Jaw" width="300" height="226" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1269" /></p>
<p>If you were to ask me who I am more like &#8230; my mom or my dad &#8230; I would have to say my dad. My dad and I didn&#8217;t really begin our relationship until I got back from boot camp. When I was little, I was all about some <em>&#8220;daddy&#8217;s girl&#8221;</em>. Even as a teenager, I knew that with just the right tone&#8230; I could pretty much get what I wanted. When it was good it was great. When it was bad though, ask anyone who was around us back then. It was bad. </p>
<p>I remember one time during one of our biggest fights, my dad and I were in each others faces. We were yelling. I am sure I told him to fuck himself. If I would have had the ability to step out of my body to see what I was doing, I probably would not have been in my dads face like that. With no fear. No capacity about how my father <em>(have you ever seen my dad?)</em> could have broken my little 16 year old ass in half if I said just the right <em>(read: wrong)</em> thing to set him off in that moment. </p>
<p>And believe me. I tried as hard as I could to make my dad the purplest piece in life as often as I could. Did I pick fights with him? Yep. I sure did. Why? I don&#8217;t know. Maybe it was because as much as I knew that he could knock me cold the hell out with one punch&#8230; he never would. </p>
<p>This also leads me to my next thought. The reason I never fought with my mom this way was because she would knock me out. And she did. It only took once. I don&#8217;t remember what I said, but it was something to the effect of calling her a <em>&#8220;bitch&#8221;</em> and/or <em>&#8220;fuck you&#8221; </em>during a disagreement. She hauled off and slapped the shit out of me.</p>
<p><img src="http://thepqnation.com/livingwicked/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/DH_Solis_Slap-300x199.jpg" alt="DH_Solis_Slap" title="DH_Solis_Slap" width="300" height="199" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1271" /></p>
<p>I am pretty sure that the only time I ever cuss at my mom in an angry moment now is when we are on the phone. And even then. My mom has a mean left hook. I am not really trying to fuck with her.</p>
<p><img src="http://thepqnation.com/livingwicked/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/i-hate-talking-on-the-phone-300x258.jpg" alt="i-hate-talking-on-the-phone" title="i-hate-talking-on-the-phone" width="300" height="258" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1270" /></p>
<p>So I am frustrated with this blog and I am going to end it here. Squish, if you are out there&#8230; I need some direction. What intrigues you? What do you want to know? I could go in so many ways&#8230; and because of that I am not even sure if this blog even makes sense.<br />
<em><br />
Do you want to hear more about the parents? If so, what?<br />
What kind of relationship do you have with your parents? </p>
<p>If you could pick celebrity parents, who would they be and why? (They dont have to be a couple)</em><strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>This started off differently. </strong></p>
<p>I was fighting with D when I finally got a chance to blog this evening.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-724" title="jkon391l" src="http://thepqnation.com/livingwicked/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/jkon391l-300x227.jpg" alt="jkon391l" width="300" height="227" /></p>
<p>I hate it when we fight. I hate that he is right more than I am. <em>(I will only admit this to you.)</em> I hate that he has the ability to make me feel so small with a simple statement. At the same time, I hate that I say hurtful things. But sometimes, when I get angry&#8230; They just fall out of my mouth like marbles.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-723" title="marbles" src="http://thepqnation.com/livingwicked/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/marbles.jpg" alt="marbles" width="300" height="300" /></p>
<p>Especially when I feel attacked.</p>
<p>Then, as I laid here in the dark spewing randomosity in the form of  a blog-list<em>, (which is what I do when I don&#8217;t have anything of substance to blog about but I feel like I should be blogging) he </em>appeared in the doorway to our bedroom.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;I come in peace.&#8221; He said.</em></p>
<p>In his hands he held a scoop of chocolate chip ice cream. Just 1 scoop. In a pretty pink and white cardboard cup with a matching pink plastic spoon.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-721" title="baskinrobbins" src="http://thepqnation.com/livingwicked/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/baskinrobbins.jpg" alt="baskinrobbins" width="200" height="202" /></p>
<p><em><strong>*sigh*</strong></em></p>
<p><em>What is so significant about the ice cream?</em></p>
<p>There are 2 reasons why it is so thoughtful:</p>
<p>1) Chocolate Chip is the only ice cream that I really like, and not very many brands sell it. If they do, it really isnt very good.</p>
<p>2) When I was pregnant with Xavier, D would bring me a scoop of Baskin Robbins chocolate chip ice cream every night after work. We were literally dirt poor because we lived in a small military town&#8230; so while he was looking for a job, he would get up at 5 am and go to Labor Ready, even if it brought just enough money for gas and dinner.</p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t even matter what he said or why I got mad. What matters is that when it is time to say<em> &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry&#8221;</em>, he knows exactly what to do to melt the icy, silent exterior around my heart. Not many people really know how to do that.</p>
<p>It seems silly to some but these little things are precisely why I married him.</p>
<p>I have never been the girl who needed dozens upon dozens of roses, or lavish gifts from the person I love. I just need a little token. A thoughtful gesture that says everything I need to hear at that moment.</p>
<p>Anyway, all of the sarcasm and jokes aside&#8230; he is the jelly to my peanut butter. I am truly blessed to have such a funny, sexy, doesn&#8217;t-put-up-with-my-shit and thoughtful husband&#8230;</p>
<p>Our love is hands down the reason why I believe in true love as much as I do.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-722" title="497480504_22790c71c5" src="http://thepqnation.com/livingwicked/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/497480504_22790c71c5-225x300.jpg" alt="497480504_22790c71c5" width="225" height="300" /><strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>Happy Friday!</strong></p>
<p><em><strong>What is the most romantic &#8220;little thing&#8221; that you have done for someone you love?<br />
Has anyone done a thoughtful &#8220;little thing&#8221; for you?</strong></em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today.</strong></p>
<p>Late for work.</p>
<p>X missed the bus.</p>
<p>My coffee was gross.</p>
<p>The sweater I just bought made me feel like a chocolate striped whale.</p>
<p>My computer crashed 3 times.</p>
<p>Didn&#8217;t get to go to the gym at lunch because I worked through lunch because I was late.</p>
<p>Mad at D. Why? <strong>Because he has a penis. </strong>If you are reading this, and have a penis&#8230; chances are I hate you too.</p>
<p>I have officially self diagnosed myself with PMS, given the above listed things. Specifically the last one. When Mother Nature and I meet in the boxing ring once a month, D is usually the one who is dodging the blows. Not that bitch. She stays over in her corner, cackling at my crampy bitchy CUNTY disposition. for 3 weeks and at least 2 days of my PMSisode, I kinda feel sorry for him. Then again, he is a moody mofo himself&#8230; so I am pretty sure he deserves a boxing match a month. AT LEAST.</p>
<p><strong>Anyway, back to this bitch Mother Nature.</strong></p>
<p>I would like to kick the shit out of that bitch. I mean really kick her fucking ass. Ol&#8217; School style. Meet her at the bike racks with 35 surrounded by a bunch of other pmsing bitches screaming <em>&#8216;fight! fight! fight!&#8217; </em>while I bitchhandle her to the ground. I would have Rach hold my necklace and earrings &#8217;cause if it got to the point where I needed my girls to jump in on it, she would already have a pre-planned stash spot for the goods. I know this because that is how my bitch rolls. All premeditated and shit. And she wants to kick the shit out of Mz.Nature her damn self. If the timing was right, she mighta been the instigator in the fucking first place.</p>
<p><strong>I wanna pull handfuls of her hair out.<br />
I wanna bite her.<br />
I wanna curb stomp her face.<br />
I wanna straddle her neck with my crotch and punch her in the face repeatedly.</strong><br />
Mother Nature is the bitch that I mean mug at the mall. Or anywhere I go where she is all up in my business like she does. Nosy bitch. Nosy meddling fucking bitch. Who does she think she is anyway? I bet, if all of us women got together and jumped her skank ass she would leave us alone. If we just backed her ass in a corner and let her know that we were not gonna put up with these cramps anymore. No more moodyness. She can keep the bloated uncomfortable bullshit. No more man hating&#8230; (actually&#8230; &#8230; &#8230; I wont fault her for that one.) I am taking a stand against that bitch Mother Nature, and if she doesnt comply with my requests&#8230; I am going to kick the shit out of her. Plain and fucking simple.</p>
<p>Mz.Nature, if you are reading this&#8230; I suggest you take some time to really think about who you are fucking with here. We are some emotional, moody, cranky bloated bitches. We are stuck between a diet rock and a chocolate covered salt lick hard place. It isnt fair what you continuously do to us on a monthly basis. Does my name even remotely sound like Eve? No. It doesnt. I dont even like apples all that much, and sure as hell wouldnt have eaten that shit if I were her. If it were a chocolate covered pretzel, maybe. But an apple? Pfft. Ya&#8217;ll coulda kept that shit.</p>
<p><strong>Take your tampax and always maxi pads and shove em up your old raggedy cobweb havin&#8217; ass.</strong></p>
<p>The End.</p>
<p><strong><em>What would you like to add to this hateblog addressed to Mother Nature?<br />
