Miscellaneous Monday

I've Learned
I've learned that you cannot make someone love you.
All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them.
I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people just don't care back.
I've learned that it takes years to build up trust and only seconds to destroy it.
I've learned that you can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes, after that, you'd better know something.

I've learned that you should always leave loved ones with loving words.
It may be the last time you'll see them.
I've learned that you can keep going long after you think you can't.

I've learned that no matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesn't stop for your grieve.
I've learned that writing, As well as talking, Can ease emotional pains.
I've learned that the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon.
I've learned to love and be loved.
I've learned.

I first read this poem (which is much longer) at the young age of sixteen. Over the years I have often remembered the words, as it impacted the way I view life. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Book Shelf

Today's Sassy Chica bookshelf entry is not for the weak at heart or the easily offended....if your going to keep reading, please know you have been forewarned!


"His Little Black Book", by Thea Devine.

An intro from the authors website:
In a swanky café in midtown Manhattan, three twenty something gals convene to discuss how to achieve their ultimate fantasy: becoming lusciously sexy, irresistibly seductive mistresses to supremely wealthy older men. Founders of their very own Mistress Club—Brooke, a confident brunette; Delia, a feisty blond sexpot; and MJ, an ambitious, red-haired siren—have sworn off unsatisfying one-night stands, vowing to take control of their sex lives. And thanks to Brooke, they have a set of guidelines for becoming elegant mistresses of sin

The intro says it all!

I enjoyed this book, by the pool side with a stiff....cocktail!

Enjoy,

Sassy Chica

Sassy Swimming Pool Chica's

I have an ability to attract some crazy people...don't believe me check this out.

A few weeks back I ran into some Sassy Chica's at the pool. Both of these Chica's were Sexy, Young(35'ish), Single and ready for change. On this particular day I had gone to the pool with some neighbors (which is always a good time).

While enjoying the day, I was also enjoying a good book(a steamy romance, bow-chicka-bow-wow), which kept me entertained. All the while these two Chica's sitting next to me, kept looking over smiling and would talk loud enough, as though they wanted to include me in their conversation, here is a tidbit:

Chica #1: "I am so ready to move out of this F'ing state".
Chica #2: "Really why is that"?
Chica #1: I have F'd up enough in this state; seen it all, done them all and ready for change! And all the good guys are married.
Chica #2: I hear ya sista, where do you want to move to?
Chica #1: Indiana, I have a hot man waiting for me there...after I break up with this loser I'm dating!
Chica #2: Do you need a roommate?? I will move to Indiana with ya?

An hour later these Chica's broke the ice and offered me some of their boot legged cocktails, they snuk into the pool. Stored in adult size sippy cups and some low-cal chips. I did what any good natured Chica would do and accepted. Cocktails and chips, on a hot summer day, I'm in!!

I befriended them quickly, because for the next few hours they talked about anything and everything under the sun(literally). These Chica's could talk the horns off a BillyGoat! And let me just say they had no boundaries and no topic was off limits!

Just one more story to add to my crazy chica list...."like crazy stalker lady", except these girls were no stalkers and if they were they could follow me anytime!!

Not Medically Trained

After self diagnosing and self medicating for months of sinus pressure, allergies and an extreme summer cold; I finally went to see a Doctor. During this visit, I came to terms with the fact that this Sassy Chica is not medically trained.

I mentioned to the Dr. that my symptoms started in February, she was not at all impressed with me. I broke the camels back (per'se) when I told her that I took six days of left over penicillin to cure my summer cold(whoopsie).

At first the DR. looked at me like I was insane, then she realized her mouth was open in amazement! She composed herself, thanked me for being honest and gave me a good ol' talking to about taking old medication.

Before I had met with the Dr, I met with her nurse; told her I was guilty of self diagnosing & medicating. I just couldn't help but to ask her if they had a name for patients like me (since I would be blogging about it). She looked at me like I was crazy and said "No", there is no name for patient like you. I call Bullshit, I know back at their nurses station they(the nurses) brief the Doctors with something like...we have one of thooosse again.

Well regardless, I am now on the road to recovery with the appropriate medicine and a good ol' talking to.

Side-note: The hubster, drove me to my Dr appointment; I thought it was for support, it was not! He wanted to hear first hand what the Doctor had to say. This also gave him a chance to say things like, "I told you so" and "See what you've done"...what a trader!! On the flip side he is being extremely comforting, I just may milk this a little longer!
