Holiday Songs & Halls Cough Drops...

Of course I'm at work today...though I wouldn't really call it a productive morning...or would I...since I'm a multitasker...I can do several things at once...here's a list of happenings so far this morning...

• took a shower while singling along with the radio
• took a brisk walk to my car
• drove to work
• surfed internet prior to 8am
• started working on project for work
• listening to holiday songs thru the internet
• read blogs that I find interesting
• work on project between reading blog entries
• suck on halls cough drops
• act like I'm busy working when one boss enters my office
• smiles & delivers process of project thus far
• decided to post my own entry
• still listening to holiday songs

Anyhoo...just a brief summary of my morning so far...at least it's kept me from falling asleep at my desk.

Snoop's 'Sensual Seduction'...

Thanks to PopCandy writter on Usatoday.com...I've found a new video & song that has put a smile on my face...oh my goodness...it takes you right back to the 70's...with an added plus...Snoop Dogg...the video can be found by a link on the PopCandy page or go to YouTube & look it up...enjoy...I know I have.

Turning 29...

Here goes...a confession of sorts...a clearing of the mind...it's best to share things than to bottle them up...this being the right place to express them...questionable...but I'm going to give it a shot...

The Guy...what started almost a year ago...he found me on myspace & sent me a message...being whom I am & not big on internet dating/meeting...I was feeling safe that day & responded by sending him an email...this went on for a couple of days...which lead to phone conversations & nervous feelings because the next step was to meet...after seeing pictures of him & finally meeting him in person...he wasn't bad looking...granted he wasn't the type of guy I've dated in the past...but this soon turned into a grown up relationship...spending quality time together & just enjoying being with each other...truly I'm not sure when it started to unravel...he sunk into a funk & seemed as if he couldn't dig himself out of it...a couple months later...I chose to end it...though I said I wanted to be friends...which can be accomplished...if the two of you work hard at it...anyhoo...after a short two week span of not talking at all...we started talking again...then we "hooked up"...me having never been the "hook up" type of woman...seemed to be enjoying myself...what's not to enjoy...I still get the physical contact with a man that I enjoy being with...along with not having to put up with the relationship duties...things are good...things are interesting...things are simple...wow...I never would have thought those words would come out of my mouth.

Turning 29...yesterday was my birthday...just another day...I was asked how it felt to be 29...in which I responded..."a day older than 28"...age is just a number...we make it what it is...I'm one that feels I somewhat have control over my life...so therefore it's what I make of it...since I was a little girl I've always wanted to be 30...now that I've turned another year older...I'm closer to it & extremely excited.

Enough said for now...

Shocking Words & Phrases...

Who's to say that a well educated woman can't speak her mind...when book smarts crash with common sense...sometimes what you get are words & phrases that shock everyone within ear shot...I've been known to shock people with my outspoken sassy ways...though I'm happy with my life & therefore it shouldn't bother other people how I'm living my life...it's my life...anyhoo...I thought this was as good of time as any to share a couple of words/phrases that I enjoy saying or say way to much...

• "I'm Grown"
• "I ain't got time for that"
• "That's my problem, how"
• "The crazy-mobile is on it's way, go stand by the curb"
• "You've got to be kidding me"
• "I see your mouth moving, but all I hear is 'blah, blah, blah"
• "Who pissed in your cornflakes"

Busy life & sickness...

It's been some time since I've posted anything...that being because my life is busy right now...and the fact that I've been sick & hocked up on cold meds...anyhoo...I'll be posting things of more importance soon...until then...keep holding your breath.

Texting Whore...

I guess if I didn't know myself or my friends...I might would take being called a "Texting Whore" the wrong way...but seeings how I do know myself & have always been open & honest with friends...I kinda like my new title..."Hi nice to meet you"..."oh you can just call me Texting Whore"...lol...this comes from several rapid text messages being sent...the following is how I earned my new title...

SB: Paging High Heel Tramp!
HHT: Yes SugarBeth
SB: Report on your sexual situation from yesterday
HHT: He had nice shoes & you know that turns me on
SB: Man = you being turned on
HHT: Whore. I'm not that easy
SB: Yeah right $20 says you took him back to your place
HHT: Hey, I don't have a "Sin Den" or "Pleasure Treasure Chest"
SB: We're not talking about me
HHT: I know, but you share great adventures with me
SB: I'm waiting...
HHT: so we did the deed & it was terrible
SB: you couldn't show him how to make it better???
HHT: I'm not a pro like you & he wasn't having any part of me telling him how to reposition himself so that I can get some pleasure...it took maybe 5 minutes & he was snoring...I was mortified...he has such great shoes!
SB: How many times have I said...great shoes don't = great lover
HHT: From what I've heard about you...you know how to please a man & leave him wanting more...I wish I heard that about myself just once
SB: If you stopped sleeping with every guy with great shoes & form a relationship with someone...then you would enjoy it more.
HHT: Everyone can't be as smooth as you...your a texting whore...guys drop what they are doing to come running for you...even if you've not slept with them...all you have to do is send a text & the next thing anyone knows...you're sharing an adventure that you had last night!

"Business Time"

On my way to work this morning I was thinking about...

Something that makes me burst out laughing...

• 'Business Time' by Flight of the Concords
  from the album The Distant Future (2007)
  

Song Lyrics

Ahh yeah, that’s right baby
Girl
Tonight we're gonna make love
You know how I know baby?
Cuz its Wednesday
And Wednesday night is the night that we make love.
Tuesday night is the night that we go and visit your mother
But Wednesday night is the night that we make love.
Cuz everything is just right, Conditions are perfect.
There's nothing good on TV
Conditions are perfect.
You lean in close and say something sexy like
"I might go to bed I've got work in the morning."
I know what you're trying to say baby.
You're tryin to say
"Ooh yeah, it's business time, it's business time."
It’s business, it's business time!
That’s what your trying to say
Your trying to say lets get down to business
Its business time.
Its business, its business time
Thats what you're tryin to say, you're tryin to say lets get down to
business it's business time!
Ooh, Next thing you know were in the bathroom brushing our teeth.
That's all part of it. That's foreplay.
Then you go sort out the recycling, that's not part of it but it's still
very important.
Then we're in the bedroom.
You're wearing that ugly old baggy
t-shirt from that team building exercise you did for your old work,
and it's never looked better on you.
Mmmhh, team building exercise 99'
Oh you don't know what you're doing to me.
I remove my jeans but trip over them
cuz i've still got my shoes on, but then I turn it into a sexy dance.
Next thing you know I'm down to just my socks and you know
when I'm down to just my socks what time it is. It's time for
business.
It's business time.
Its buisness, its business time
You know when I’m down to just my socks its time for business,
that’s why they call them business socks
Its buisness, its business time
Ooh, makin love
makin love for two
makin love for two minutes.
When its with me you only need two minutes
cuz I’m so intense
Two minutes in heaven is better then one minute in heaven
You say sumthing like
“Is that it?”
I know what your trying to say
Your trying to say “Ahh ya that’s it”
Then you tell me you want some more
Well im not surprised, But im quite sleepy.
Its business, its business time
Business hours are over, baby
Its business, its business time.

****What more can I say...this song says it all...LMAO...I know the lyrics don't do it justice...but hearing them sing it...or even better...seeing them sing it...is priceless...just knowing that two grown men are thinking this but willing to put their balls on the line & sing it...I find it laugh out loud funny!!****

I just know it will work...

This post is dedicated to things I feel that would make me better or at least feel better...this coming from being sick for the past several days...

• a cup with 6 shots of espresso
• a piece of cheese toast
• a new book to read
• a cough drop that lasts more than a few minutes
• a bowl of my homemade chili
• a hug from a man that cares about me
• a thick blanket & a cup of hot chocolate
• a nice foot massage
• a nap that isn't interrupted

A woman can dream...can't she...I've been hocked up on cold meds since Friday & I'm tired of feeling loopy...guess the good part is that I'm feeling better...just not 100% yet...though I'm looking forward to being my smart, sassy, & Southern self again!

Words/Phrases about me...

The following is a list of words/phrases that people have mentioned to me about my life...

• Caffeine Dependent...doesn't help that I love espresso
• Harbored Hopes...no matter what's going on, I look for the next positive thing
• Flirtation Techniques...have been told to teach a class on this subject
• Preoccupied...can't help that I have ADD
• Smile Confidently...I know my smile makes your soul melt
• Emotionally Responsible...I guess if you say so, lol
• Weakness for Men...tell me something I don't know
• Laughter...is my official language

Conversation with Pam...

This post comes after a conversation with a woman...that thought she knew me better than she quickly found out that she didn't...I've known her a little over three years & she felt that entitled her to speak up when it comes to my life decisions...even though I didn't ask her how she felt about my life & how I'm living it...I know...people have an opinion & always will...to keep things simple...I'll refer to her as Pam & I'm SB of course..here's how the conversation went...

SB: Hello
Pam: Good Tuesday Morning Honey!
SB: Morning Sweetie, what's going on?
Pam: I've heard some news about you thru mutual friends & I need facts.
SB: ...waiting...waiting...waiting...
SB: Are you going to share the news with me or am I supposed to guess?
Pam: Honey, you sure are a hoot...
SB: ...waiting...waiting...waiting...
Pam: I sure hope it's not true!
SB: I'm still waiting Pam, tell me what you've heard or I'm hanging up.
Pam: I just know it's not true, I told them to stop spreading rumors about darling SugarBeth!
SB: Just how long is this call going to take, I am at work!
Pam: I told them there is no way that a Southern Belle like yourself would partake in something as outlandish as that, even though you are sassy & like doing things your way...I told them it's just not true.
SB: Again Pam, I'm at work.
Pam: Honey tell me it isn't so.
SB: Shut your mouth unless you are going to tell me what has caused you to pick up the phone & waste my time...I need to be downing Mountain Dew about now...not wondering what you've heard about me & can't seem to say.
Pam: I swear SugarBeth...you say what you're feeling don't you.
SB: I'm hanging up...
Pam: WAIT...
SB: Spit it out Pam, how can I give you facts if I don't know what in the world you are talking about???
Pam: I still can't believe my darling SugarBeth would do anything as crazy as this.
SB: ...waiting...waiting...
Pam: I would've never thought you would put yourself in a position like this.
SB: Good Bye Pam.

Now...this was just one of many conversations that I have with Pam...which I don't really consider a conversation...it's more like her talking at me...lol...after hanging up the phone...I can think of a couple of things that this conversation could have led to...but...I'm not one to start naming things & since she wasn't informing me of what she heard...she will just have to wonder if it's true or not.

My Morning with Mountain Dew...

Where to begin...alrighty...being Southern & somewhat of a Southern Belle...I've learned there are ways to conduct yourself in public...granted everyone has a side to them that should stay behind closed doors...us Southern Belles usually put some sugar & sassy with our insults of the day...which some people find interesting & others find it down right appalling...what can I say...I'm who I am & proud of it...

Life is pretty much normal right now...I mean...as normal as a smart, sassy, Southern lady in her late 20s can be...within a few days I'll be turning 29...I'm graceful & proud to be my age...not all Southern Belles would offer their age...to me it's a gift...I remember myself being a teenager saying "I sure wish I was 30"...to me "30" means a new chapter in my privileged life...one which I can't wait to begin...I've got sooooo many plans...for example...

• Meet new people
• Travel more
• Begin looking for a life mate...LOL
• Take dance lessons
• Learn to paint
• Read more

Anyhoo...today is going to be a great day...even if I have to crazy glue a Mountain Dew to my palm...I'll just forget about how much sugar & carbs is in the Mountain Dew...after being sick & somewhat in an unstable mood...I am forcing myself to have a great day...nothing short of me bouncing around if acceptable!

Who Said I Wanted To Get Married...

Man finds Woman he is attracted to...Man asks Woman out...Woman likes Man & they start dating...Man falls in love with Woman...Man asks Woman to marry him...Woman gets all excited about the fact of getting married...Woman plans wedding & lives in a wedding induced coma until the day of the blessed union between the two...Woman walks toward the Man whom she plans on spending the rest of her life with...

...Who said I wanted to get married...

The idea is a great concept...but I've always said that I wanted to be @ least 30 before I said "I do"...the reasoning behind that is the fact of me wanting to explore life...knowing that I can support myself means a lot to me...I'm also very independent...which doesn't help when it comes to 'serving a man'...I'm not old fashioned at all...I've grown up in a generation of working women that can take care of themselves...they enjoy their freedom & being able to come and go when they please...to say the least...I've fell right in line with that...I'm also hell bent on me actually enjoying this life that I've been given...the fact that I'm hard-headed & strong minded doesn't help when it comes to sharing my life with someone...don't mistake my enjoyment of being single/unmarried for me wanting to grow old & die alone...that's not what I'm saying...I someday plan on settling down with a man...married life is what you make of it...though making sure you both have similar ideas/wants is a must..."the man" for me would be someone...who loves to travel but knows where his home is...loves children even though I don't want to birth any...thinks highly about himself without being egotistical...enjoys laughing along with a good conversation...he must love himself & think he has something great to bring to the relationship...knowledge is key...he needs to be comfortable with me while having a life changing conversation & just sitting around enjoying each others company...speaking his mind is not optional...I want a man that can stand up to me...the only way I will know that I've done something wrong/not liked is if I'm told...that works the same when it comes to things that I did that were good...I could go on for days...but I think I've gotten my point across...I'm not looking for a drop dead gorgeous guy to ride up on a white horse to save the day...I want a hard working man that wants to spend time with me...I'm no queen so he shouldn't think he needs to be treated like a King!

Life In General...

Life...what a strange but amazing world we live in...people add flavor & spice...some are just a little more bland than others...I think of myself as extra spicy...between being outspoken & the center of attention...most of the time life is entertaining...though sometimes a cloud rolls in & the rain begins to fall...which can be caused & treated several different ways...I like to say most things don't bother me near as much as it does others...I'm kinda like a duck...I let things roll off my back like water...there is no need in being mad so much...life is to short to sweat the small things...words are just vibrations that fill the silent air...with that said...there are several things going through my head about now...they will be posted later...until then...let your lips form a smile & share it with someone!
