I Need a Maid

I've almost made the decision to get a maid. I had a contact, but couldn't access the webpage and never followed thru with the phone (how lo-tech). I'd rather do the friend-of-a-friend kinda thing, but I only know one guy with a maid and I keep forgetting to get her name. All I need is someone to come in once or twice a month to straighten things up, clean the kitchen and bathrooms and vacuum. I'm not a dirty person, just really, really sloppy. I have issues with putting things away after I'm done with them. I'm so trying to get better, but no one else in my house seems to complain, so I don't practice as much as I should. That's why I like to have people over to my house, it forces me to clean up.

I'll work that angle!
Last Thursday when I was driving home, driving my car just didn't feel the same. When I left for work on Friday, I noticed a good sized nail in my left front tire. I figured I'd change the tire when I got to work, and buy a new one after the weekend. I was going away, so I planned to drive up to Kennesaw and hitch a ride with my friend. I was able to drive all the way to work on the highway, but once I slowed down, the air just came out. I was almost driving on the rim by the time I got to work. I sent an email to a guy here at work and asked him to help me change the tire at some point that day. About an hour later I get an email from this guy saying he'd taken the tire off and taken it to a tire place he knew of and would get back to me with the cost. A little later, he said the tire had 2 nails in it, so I'd have to get a new one and he gave me a price. Needless to say, I was floored! I don't expect people to help me that much, all I wanted was to change the tire. So I ended up getting 2 new tires on Friday and driving to Tennessee.

Back in the day when I was young and thin, men would help me do some things. I didn't work that too much, I never felt comfortable doing that, but you could get help. Men will help cute, young girls. Now that I'm older and thicker, I don't expect much help with anything. But I realize now that a lot of married men will help me, because they're nice guys and they know I'm not married so I have no man to help me. I'll work it. Now, I've had to buy many sets of tires, and I've had to change several in my life, so I'm perfectly capable of doing that. But this helping hand was very much appreciated. Little things do mean a lot.

GNO
I attended a Girls Night Out last night and really had a good time. Contrary to 'popular' belief, a GNO isn't a Lesbian lengiere party, it's just another opportunity for friends to get together and talk (OK, and drink). Women need the socialization more then men, I think. I don't necessarily enjoy GNO's, I have no man to complain about and everytime I go out it's with the girls, so that's nothing new to me. But it's kinda fun to listen to the issues and remember 'back in the day' when I had them too...

More to come...
As things happen, I'll be posting. Thanks for taking the time to read. You're opinions are welcome but if you have to start calling me names, don't bother, I won't read them. As my Dad says 'Opinions are like a**holes, everyone has one.'
