My buddy, Shakespeares Housekeeper, just nominated me to share the five reasons that life is "grand".
I'm only doing it because she talks funny. (She's in England.)
She uses words like, "knickers".
I can't resist a person who says, "knickers".
Okay. Damn-it. Life IS grand because...
1. I have the most beautiful nephews and niece in the history of the world. I never married, hence, never had children. I get to know these little people who love me despite the fact I never had an episiotomy.
2. I'm old. I'm pushing 50 and that means I can say whatever I want. That's grand.
3. I love my baby sister. She never says it, but I know.
4. I'm not dead. That's always a plus.
5. I hate my neighbour. I'm not "nice" like Shakespeares Housekeeper. If the bastard, who lives in the 5 million dollar mansion behind me, blocks my car again...I'm gonna hit it. He had the audacity to place a sign on MY garage that said, "No parking". Oddly, he is the ONLY one who parks there.
It's life. It's grand.

About Me
- Charmaine
- Co-workers created my identity on a dating website. After pretending to be me they let me in on the secret. I was very shy but went with it. They lined up outside my office every morning to hear the gory details of each hilariously disastrous date. I started this for them.
"Who does a girl have to sleep with to get this award?" Wait, I just got one. (faints)
Then another... and another...
Look Mom, I got an AWARD

Let me preface this by saying I love my children but nephews and nieces are so much better. No real work.
Age has it's privileges, like saying whatever you want.
Yeah, not being dead is good
And, your neighbor is a dick.
what if your neighbor secretly wants to DATE you?
How could he have the balls to put that sign on your garage? I say you set fire to his porch.
Or, call and have his car towed. You know, I have always believed in taking the mature route.
The fifties are good.
Yes, I love my fifties, so far...but whats with all this HATE for your neighbor?
so who's this person who keeps sending you dating websites every day? and who is the guy in the pic with you at the bottom of some blog posts? Looks like you're at London Bridge?
Call the cops and get his car towed. He's blocking YOUR garage!
I love how quickly that list went from happy and grand to hating the neighbour. hehheh
OK, I WAS going to say that you should get his car towed. But, then you would start a big old war with the neighbor...
Yes, going from "life is grand" to basically wanting to take a "hit" out on my neighbour would be...um...and example of hypocracy.
I'm a hypocrite. It's true.
We came to a truce the day I called the police on him because he was basically building an aircraft carrier in his garage and I could NOT hear myself THINK.
Trust me, the other neibours couldn't hear themselves think either. I was the only one who did anything about it because (from my favorite quote from Dolores Claiborn) "Dolores, sometimes being a high riding bitch is all a woman has to hold onto.
hee hee
And what's up with whomever is sending me dating ads. That's when you know...you're a loser. groan.
Ha ha!!
You do make me laugh. Honestly.
These are a great read.
I'm not as nice as you think.
Only yesterday, i went to the neighbour opposite me who is a lovely old chap and has a doberman dog that barks constantly.
I told him if he didn't stop it barking, i would shoot the fuckin' thing.
SHxxx
Ugh on thy neighbor, Charmaine. I have one of those too. And yeah looks like you're gettn' a lot of dating hits!! : D
I hate your neighbor too. I just bought some eggs, because I have a neighbor just like that. Being 50 means you're not too old to go egging :)
why is life grand? I'm going to go with the same thing as you, "I'm not dead". Wow, what a positive uplifting moment for me.
You silly lady.
I'm home for a while. Let's get together before I move to the ghetto (end of month).
A is gone. It's just me. I'm very lonely and sad :(
PS: I'm definately not against calling the cops on my neighbors.
BUT... is he hot? Maybe you can make him cookies and call a peace treaty then set him up with a single friends of yours. Then she can come over and block your car in!
Life is grand and so are you. And you're lucky! No episiotomy? I don't even like typing the word.
I thought you wrote I love my baby sitter!!!!
WTF???
I wanna have lunch with you!!!
That would be grand!!
I dislike interrupting with something serious, but you really need to see this notice about Braja.
in my vast experience, neighbors generally suck, particularly the ones with children/small dogs, who they let play on the patio at 8 fricking am on Sunday. Of course, can you blame me that I then find it absolutely necessary to blast Revolting Cocks or Sex Pistols from my open window? Seems to get the little bastards back inside.....
Kids make life grand, indeed.
My little man turns two years old in two weeks. We are gonna have a party! Friends, neighbors and relatives all!
