The Prince is fitting into my family quite well. Yesterday, he came over and cooked for us. Spicy chicken, spicy rice, spicy cabbage soup. Mmm. He’s the best cook ever! Anyway, he and I don’t like the skins on the chicken, so Imah (who loves them) took them off and cooked them separately. Later, my Prince went into the kitchen to check on his food. He called to Imah: "Your skin is ready!" and then burst out laughing because "it sounds funny." Yes, it did. Imagine walking in and hearing that–out of context. LOL!

Yes, he’s fitting right in.  

I desperately need to distract myself… 

My 10 Reasons Why It’s Great to be a Woman:

1. Cuter clothing.
2. Ladies’ Night: free food, free drinks, free flowers
3. Speeding ticket? What’s that?
4. New shoes can change your life.
5. You can hug your friend without wondering if she thinks you’re gay.
6. If you’re dumb (or happen to do something dumb), some people will find it cute.
7. You can use PMS as an excuse for being crabby (I use it every week of the month. LOL!)
8. You don’t get judged for having ear piercings.
9. If you forget to shave, no one has to know.
10. Women are generally trusted more than men are.

Reasons Why It Sucks to be a Woman

1. Menstruation (especially mine–could giving birth possibly be worse?! Please, don’t answer that.)
2. Giving birth (the process).
3. Morning sickness.
4. We’re not considered as smart as men.
5. We’re not generally as strong.
6. Speaking of the weaker sex, isn’t it annoying being called that?
7. Bad hair days (with guys it’s excusable–even funny).
8. If we stay home with our kids, we don’t deserve respect; if we work outside the home, we don’t care about our children.
9. Gee…I can’t think of any more. It must not be so bad, after all.

Friday’s Feast 158: 

Appetizer
Who is the easiest person for you to talk to? Wow…um, talking isn’t my forte. There isn’t any person in particular. Her Majesty is the only person I can talk to for hours, though–whether online or on the phone.

Soup
If you could live in any ancient city during the height of the quality of its society and culture, which one would you choose? Somewhere in either Italy or Scotland.

Salad
What is the most exciting event you’ve ever witnessed? The first thing that comes to mind is a lunar eclipse. Have I ever mentioned how I love the moon?

Main Course
If you were a celebrity, what would you do for a publicity stunt? Have a dance party and boogie down the peoples!

Dessert
What do you consider the ideal age to have a first child? 25–or somewhere around that.

Friday Fill-in #35:

1. The last time someone flirted with me was this Wednesday at work–it happens pretty often.
2. I am SO glad I took that road trip with friends on Tuesday.
3. Where in the world is my head? I know I left it around here somewhere!
4. Long weekends are a nice change.
5. Coming up next: Tigger’s 5 day party…once all of our wallets recover from my party.
6. I adore pugs.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to spending time with Girlz (maybe), tomorrow my plans include laundry and Sunday, I want to sleep!

week of August 26: Farewell Summer

Well, this is it. Summer is nearly finished. That was fast.

What have you done this summer? A little of everything, I imagine.

Did you go for a vacation? No–that’s happening this Tuesday!!

Did you work? All the time.

Did you have a fling? …Yeah. 

How was your summer and are you happy or sad to see it end? It was…fast! Wow! However, weather-wise, I’m glad to see it end. Bring on the rain! (…er, after my outdoor dance party.)

My dance party is tomorrow evening!! My road trip to Sol Duc is the following day. Yeah, baby! This is the biggest thing ever!! (Sorry, 21st birthday. There’s no way you can beat this!)

Yes, that’s right. I did it.

Please, excuse the shock of my site’s new look. And don’t worry…I’m still working on it. I just couldn’t change the name (the theme) of my blog without changing the look in its honor.

I am renaming my blog "Dethroned" as a sort of mockery on my pride. I get to thinking I’m such a Princess and life manages to pull me down a peg…over and over again.  On the other hand, sometimes, I get too down. So, I just say "Dethroned…but not defeated."

Hopefully, I can be more active my blogging again soon.

Farewell! Laila tov!

The one and only family computer is trying to die. The "doctor" is still working on the poor, suicidial machine; we’re using one of his until he can fix ours. Meanwhile, so much has been happening in my life. Craziness! Gloriousness! Indescribable-ness. *ahem*

Anyway, I’ll try to do a real blog either Friday or Sunday…with all the juicy details!

For today’s:

Unconscious Mutterings, Week 135: 

Appetizer
Name two things that made you smile this week. Nice customers. Remembering a camp friend.

Soup
Fill in the blank: Don’t you hate it when ________? …people blame you for something out of your control?

Salad
When you can’t go to sleep, what is your personal remedy to help yourself drift into Lullabyland? Get up and walk around a bit; turn on an audio book.

Main Course
What is something about which you’ve always wondered but have not yet found a good answer? Lots of questions about life and of religion. Probably never to be answered (in this life).

Dessert
What is your favorite pasta dish? Lasagna!

Five on Friday: Soup to Nuts

1. Are you a fan of soup? As a side dish, yes.

2. What is your favorite kind of soup? That spicy, red one at the Olive Garden. Mm.

3. Are you a fan of nuts? Not really.

4. What is your favorite kind of nut or dish containing nuts? Almonds.

5. If you had to eliminate either soup or nuts from your diet for the rest of your life, which would you choose? Nuts. (Grilled cheese sandwiches just wouldn’t be the same without chicken noodle or tomato soup.)

Ok, I’m still moody so I’m not going to write much today. I suspect it’s just a part of my feminine cycle because I’ve been craving sugar like a frenzied mosquito after blood. That is never a good sign. (Never mind the terrible way sugar affects my moods!)

On a last note, my novel is coming well. I’m really happy about that.

Unconscious Muttterings, Week 208:

1. Limit :: time __
2. Voice :: __ message
3. Change :: __ one’s mind
4. Expression :: art
5. Tailor :: trade
6. Lemonade :: pink __
7. Thought :: random __
8. Phoebe :: moon of Saturn’s
9. Impression :: first __
