OMG! I cannot believe the stuff I have found in cleaning out the apartment. I found the card the ex-hub gave me when he proposed (barf!) and all the letters/cards he sent me. I thought I had tossed them. I found broken bits and pieces...and I MOVED that kind of thing into the apt (forgive me Smug for I have sinned)! Out damned spot, out!

I hate sitting in my apt at the moment with all the crap piled up waiting to be hauled to a) dumpster b) goodwill c) friends d) craigslist strangers. I want to wave a magic wand and have it all gone. My goal is to have most of it out of here this weekend. I just need to round up some very good friends (you know who you are) & enlist their help. Most of the boxes put aside to go to storage contain books I cannot bear to part with. Books are like old friends. Hell, I will toss clothes and accessories out faster than books and I am quite the clothes horse.

SassyKitty is going wild. She does not know what to make of the chaos. Poor thing...she knows her time is counting down til my sister and nieces haul her off to be with them....she kept hissing at the girls for no reason when they spent the night last week.

I am running out of time on my deadline to get things outta here. Must have it nice and neat with all unnecessary items boxed up and packed away in the closets. Got important visitors coming!

My lease is up on my apartment in September. I am moving out and have decided to pare down on the amount of stuff I am moving. I have discovered the joys of advertising stuff on Craigslist and freecycle. Sassy's booty camp workout has resumed once again and Smug (un)happily has rejoined! She helped me haul out about 10 heavy bags of garbage today. The upside is that she is shopping the Sassy Home Boutique for various and sundry things.

It is truly liberating to go from over 75 cookbooks down to 10. I have gotten rid of my stockpile of craft magazines. The next things to be sorted through is my collection of fiction books and my crafts. I have decided to donate unused craft items to a youth center (if they will ever call back). I am even getting rid of a large assortment of cookware that I just have not touched in years.

My clothing and large collection of shoes & accessories is not off-limits either. I have three bags of clothes to go to Goodwill--that was just from my two dressers. I still have a large walk-in closet and spare closet to go through. The nieces have been making a dent into some of my stuff. They hauled off several bags of booty this week. I have to watch out for the younger one. She is definitely a tricky squirrel. I had to check her stuff to make sure she left behind my Ipod as she kept swiping it.

My friend Dayna and I gathered up a group of her male lifeguard friends and hung out at our favorite club on Saturday night. I had a trail of men all evening long....I guess the full on cleavage shirt was a bit over the top! One guy walked by me, did a double take, and practically fell on his knees in an act of worship over my ass. Dayna called him on it and he actually blushed and slunk away. Later I ran into Ass Man again and he told me I left him breathless with my tits and ass....they were perfect! I laughed at him and moved along.

There is something perversely amusing hanging with very hawt, well built younger men and watching all the young women trying to get their attention. Dayna and I found Jay-Jay...a cute hottie who also liked to make fun of people on the dance floor so we added him to our fan club and he kept gravitating back to us for some a little dancing & a lot of mocking.

After we left the club, we hung out on the sidewalk with two very buff, very amusing men who were 30+. We stood around making fun of the many fashion faux pas streaming out of the club...one of those being a dress cut down to ass cleavage....only the girl was wearing granny panties under the dress..eewwww! or the 300 lb woman squeezed into a tube top and jean miniskirt or the 46ff bust left to flap in the breeze...no support to be found...under a tank top....it was a fright night of "What the hell were you thinking?" in the fashion department. Do people own full length mirrors any more? Do they not look at themselves before going out or have a good friend to ask how they look?

And what is up with all the faux bridal veils and sashes proclaiming "Bride" and "Bridesmaid"? And all the girls wear very similar outfits. Barf! Can the bachlorettes be a little more creative? Must these affairs be paraded out to the public with no thought or creativity put into other than to buy cheap veils and sashes?

The summer nights of booze and Dayna antics are slowly coming to an end. We figured this might be our last hooraw since she is off on family vacation and then I will be be busy the rest of the summer doing my own thing.

YUP! I finally did it! You are looking a my one & only tattoo. Roger my tat man did a phenomenal job. The picture really doesn't do it justice. It did sting a bit but I have had worse pain in my life. I love the colors!

Love has come at last! I got a double dip this summer in the same week--Burn Notice returned with mouthwatering Jeffrey Donovan (meow!) and Brendan Fraser (sexual moan) released one of his two movies. Yeah baby! Journey to the Center of the Earth is a fun movie, but I would have enjoyed watching it as 3-D. I really cannot wait until the new Mummy movie is out for another long eyeful of Brendan.

It has been a banner week despite my bitching about homework, which is almost 100% done thankfully.

Yikes! I am so far behind on my school work! I sat down yesterday and whacked out five assignments by burning the midnight oil. I have one more mini assignment to finish and then I have to wave a magic wand and do an oral presentation and some sort of tax case analysis. Oy vey! All of this has to get done this weekend...oh and I have to listen to three very longggggg and boringggg lectures. The professor is nice, but frankly listening to a monotone phlegm snorter for any length of time is rather ummmm nauseating! It has been hard to stay focused with summer upon me. Not to mention that I am slightly burnt out from three years of school. I try to keep in mind that I just need to get to April 2009 and viola! I will have my masters. I would like to say a hard earned masters, but I have only been able to devote half-assed effort to the masters so far...just seven more classes...that is my mantra.

I hope everyone had a safe & happy 4th of July! I have a tradition of seeing a movie on the 4th and this year was no different. I went to see Hancock. Will Smith was fine looking as usual. The movie was funny with the exception of a brief section of the film that was more serious than I anticipated the film would get. I love Will Smith so I give it 4 stars! I got some great pictures of the fireworks! Although, I have to confess, I find the 4th a bit of a strain as that was the anniversary of the ex-hub's & mine first kiss. You would think with the divorce, with the passage of time, with falling out of love with him that it simply would no longer matter. That is what I think and yet a piece of me was a bit sad watching the fireworks. I finally went to bed early with SassyKat.

It is a Sassy Summer and life is moving right along. I get my nieces tomorrow for a full day. It will be fun and exhausting. Got some new clients too! This week will prove to be quite interesting.

My birthday booty this year was pretty impressive: a pearl necklace, several dance lessons, mucho dinners and lunches, a funky moonstone necklace, a bracelet, a beautiful pair of purple earrings, many musical cards, and a surprise which I can't reveal yet. Soon on letting the cat out of the bag though...possibly next week!

Grrrrr....nothing like being pulled over by a bored cop. I was driving home last night on a busy street...I had less than a car length of space between me & the vehicle in front of me...we had just gone through the green light. The cop was rather grumpy and decided to "let me off with a verbal warning" about following too closely since I didn't lie about the speeding ticket I got last fall...or could it be the other cop that stopped and told him about the murder/robbery/serious crime taking place down the street while he had my ass pulled over for a ridiculous reason?????

I swear, I think Dancing Psycho is behind this...he works for the cops and I have not responded to his recent spat of text messages in the hopes that he would go away. It would be easy for him to have one of his buddies pull me since I have personalized plates on my car. I am extra vigilant now when I drive...course that won't stop this harassment if he is behind it like I suspect.

I had my nieces all day last Thursday and what a blast that was! My apartment still has not recovered from the chaos that these two lovelies bring with them (hmmm I cannot deny they are related to me as I am often accused of the same phenomenon).

The first thing they did was make a beeline for my jewelry armoire to oooh, aaah, and beg for some of my sparklies & cool watches. Being the doting aunt...I handed over a motherlode of stuff! I gave the oldest my old wedding band & engagement ring and to the youngest this delicate amethyst necklace and earring set the ex-hub had given me. I also gave them a few pieces that my mother had given me. Those were the things I was planning to give them...they managed to weedle some of favorite pieces...like my purple boa watch...I am still kicking myself over that one! Then they discovered my cache of over 100 nail polishes...really...what can one person do with 100 polishes? I gave them the majority of them. They thought they had hit the jackpot!

We headed to the pool for several hours and what a great time we all had! We got back, cleaned up and I made lunch. The seven year old is tricky like Aunt Sassy....she went hunting for more treasures...and found my hooker shoe stash! She beelined for my 4" leopard print heels and I talked her into the 2.5" turquoise heels instead so I didn't have to cart her to the hospital (she is also clutzy like Auntie Sassy). The 12 year old then found my 4" red satin wedgies from Smug's wedding...and fell in love. I agreed to let them wear the shoes on the drive home. We modeled our hooker shoes:



I came home with all but the red satin 4" wedgies. Mom was ready to kill Aunt Sassy I do believe...or it could be she was envious because her foot is a lot bigger than mine and she can't wear my cool shoes like her daughters can!
