I'm on call... and I'm not a doctor

I'm on call this week for work... but there's a catch - - I'm not a fucking doctor!! Yes, that's right. Yours truly is on call for the wonderful world of advertising, so if some digital ads start glitching out? I'll be to the rescue. Who cares about kids being rushed into the ER. I'm on call for something WAY more important - - digital campaigns. <end rant> lol...

On another note I'm being forced to carry around this hideous ancient as fuck blackberry and all I can wonder if how I kept that contraption for 3.5 years!!! What the heezy? I'm SO happy I made the switch to an iPhone. My blackberry was like living in the dark ages. *sigh* So happy those days are over.

I feel the need to acknowledge the fact that I feel blessed and fortunate to have a job, but I do find being "on call" to be one of the most ridiculous aspects of my job. Hands down. Period.

So, to all of my gainfully employed blogging friends, what is the most obnoxiously, over the top aspect of your 9-5?

A Tale of Two Wets

Is period sex really that bad?

Yes... I'm starting this blog post with the very direct and oh so necessary question. Everyone wants sex, yet every month like clockwork women find themselves sidelined for a very good reason... for when our periods DON'T come it usually incites panic and sheer terror in the hearts of men everywhere lol.

Recently the topic of "period sex" came up between a girlfriend and I and it made me wonder what others thought. Some men are strictly opposed to it. Some could care less... but when it come down to it, is wet really wet? Or does that hint of red change the game.

Personally I don't have any issues with having sex at any time... Period or no period I'm good to go. I will say that there are definitely days that a woman won't want to be touched, but typically it's not that big of a deal. Grab a towel and let's keep it moving. Need another option? Hop in the shower lol... nothing like some warm water to wash away the red desperation.

This topic might be a bit TMI for most, but I'm random, opinionated and love talking about everything with everyone lol... Thoughts?

Practice Makes Perfect?

Earlier today my guy sent me a link to the new Drake video "Practice" and told me he was engaged in an online argument regarding the chick shaking her ass... (Gotta love Facebook lol). He claimed women were being haters and I wanted to see what the fuss was all about.



So, let's get the obvious out of the way... yes, her room is dirty. Her shit is chaotic. All very realistic things. She's lounging around the "house" shaking her ass in the mirror. All women do that. I think the online "hate" comes into play because so many sub-par or basic bitch type of chicks with a fat ass and NOTHING else to offer get a pass from men.

Now, to be fair and play devil's advocate, it's not to say men are locking these chicks down and giving them rings, but they will get fucked and taken to dinner, usually... so women that have shit going for themselves minus the giganto ass get annoyed b/c they're feeling sub-par to those women.

In my opinion men are simple. Extremely simple. They are visual creatures and like ass. So, to me.. the video was basic. To a guy... it's a fat ass shaking for nearly 4 minutes and they don't require much more. A clean room? A bed that's made? Girl, please... they could care less.

If my ass was that big I'd have half the personality I do because it wouldn't be necessary. Twerk that ass for 5 minutes - - You don't have to talk or do much else lol... but even the fattest ass gets old so you really do need more (which is common knowledge) ... but again, this is a video so it's not that serious.

In reality the video was genius - - a fat ass, super low budget to save $, conversation starter lol... and know what? I'm sure everyone will start shaking it to this song in the confines of their home... some will even post their own video on YouTube in 5, 4, 3, 2.....

Thoughts?

Smitten...

I'm currently stuck in Hartford, Connecticut waiting for my flight back to Chicago, and what better way to pass the time than downing drinks with my coworker and looking at pretty condos.

I came across this post on one of my favorite blogs, Made by Girl, and was instantly reminded of my love for interior decorating and city living. I'm on the apartment hunt (yet again) and have a few rentals lined up to view this upcoming weekend - - yet another reason why I'm eager to get back to Chicago.

Hotel Vlog #1

Who would have thought being 10 mins late to my gate would cause my day to be thrown off by12 hours. 3 flights and 1 emergency landing later I finally made it to Connecticut for my first official business trip! It's been forever since I had down time and the opportunity to be completely alone. I'm excited to be able to catch up on blogging and vlogging - - I even was able to crank out a video!!! My goal is to record each day this week... let's see how that goes. Am I reaching for the stars on that one? lol

Happy New Year



New Year's Eve

I started writing this post on January 2nd, but my life force has been on shenanigans as of late so I'm finally finding the time to post this now! The new year is in full swing and I'm slightly ashamed to admit I spent the first few days on a 72 hr champagne diet. Yes... I solely survived on champagne, orange juice, and restaurant food for 3 days. It was kind of amazing. Oh, and a hookah! Can't forget about the hookah. I'm not a smoker, but I'm always down to light up a hookah. Homemade cocktails, great friends, and a hookah - - what better way to start 2012!

Dominican Republic

Adding to my blogging struggles was my highly anticipated trip to the Dominican Republic with my bestie LadyLa83. We spent 5 days frolicking on the beaches of the DR and taking our ratchet shenanigans international! I had a lovely time, learned so much, and actually appreciated the fact we were without cell phones and internet access. It was refreshing to be unplugged from the matrix for a few days, and I don't think we could've done it any other way - - cold turkey like an addict.

I got back to the states last week and intended to blog about my trip, but realized that there's a certain beauty in keeping some things just between the people that were there. I'll share a few funny moments in another post, but I won't be my usual self and OD on Facebook albums lol.

I can't believe that I'm boarding another flight in the AM to head East for work. This is my first official business trip and I'm looking forward to it, but slightly dreading having to fly again - - only because we were JUST flying and I literally just washed the sand out of my clothes from the DR vacation. Nevertheless, I'm blessed to have a job and will rise to the occasion. Maybe the down time in the hotel will allow me to crank out a few blog posts.

If you're still reading my blog, muchas gracias. I always realize that when I get busy living life, I sometimes start to slack on my blogging... which is a good thing because everyone needs to pull their head out of the computer long enough to enjoy the people around them... plus I'm getting TONS of blog material lol.

So, what posts are in store?

1) Update on my hair color/Brazilian Blowout

2) Brazilian Blowout (the company) sent me a wonderful, handwritten thank you card for the posts I've written along with the entire line of products
