Rescue me? Hell yes!

Kallypso Masters and the Rescue Me series!!


I have been reading a lot.  AGAIN.  As always.  Because it's what I do.  I have been reading the Rescue Me Series, by Kallypso Masters.  Awesome series.  I have really been enjoying it.  This series is NOT a stand alone.  You have to start with Masters at Arms and work your way from there.  Without it, you miss very important information with regards to all of the developing characters.  So in that respect it is NOT your typical romance novel.  It's emotional, often time a little heart wrenching (I know it made my heart hurt a few times and yea, I shed a tear or two or 10)  All of the characters are very well developed, and you get a firm sense of who each person is before their actual story comes up.  It's usually one of my biggest gripes.  Characters not having a firm background, or worse, inconsistencies in their backgrounds.  There is none of that here.  I'm also not one of those reviewers who reviews the book, tells you all about the book and leaves nothing to spare.  IF you read a review of the book, why do you need to read the fucking book?  My way, read the fucking book!  It's a good book.   If you read the authors blog page you would know she obviously gives a crap about what she puts out and her readers mean a great deal to her.  Kallypso Masters wants to give her readers a good read.  And that is very important in my mind.   It's well written, thought provoking, the characters are likable, believable and definitely lovable.  I'm really glad I picked up this series.

Makeup Allergies and sensitivities!! 


Have you ever worn a mascara and just about pulled out all of your eyelashes because it irritated you so bloody much?  For the better part of two years I have been suffering from some kind of sensitivity/allergy to almost all mascaras and eyeliners.  Which really sucks because I love my makeup.  I really love my eye makeup.  So, after having nearly yanking out all of my poor little eyelashes I went out and bought & different types of mascara and a couple of eyeliners.  So far, I have had a great deal of luck on my very first try.

I have been using both of these products for almost a week now and I have had NO problems.  No itchy eyes, no watery eyes, no red eyes and most importantly, NO PULLING OUT EYELASHES.    So for right now, if anyone out there in cyberland is having some kind or weird freak out sensitivity with their eye make up, try these and see if they work.  Stay tuned...I'll update you and the other 6 mascaras lol.

Advice columns? Or just the opinions of the over educated and over inflated?

So I got off work from my "real" job today early.  Went to my fave taco place, got me some tacos and picked up a local periodical that used to be fun to read but now has mostly pot advertisements in it.

 As I am munching down on my #2 combo plate (two shredded beef tacos with beans and rice) I am reading the advice column in the rag mag.  Now I don't know about you but my advice usually differs from that given in advice columns.  Number one, I am not politically correct.  I am not going to sugar coat my opinion (that you are asking for may I remind you) so that you might feel better about yourself.  Number two, I do not have a PhD or any other over inflated degree.  Actually, I am glad for that because if I did have a degree and was dispensing so called "professional" advice, in some states I could probably get into trouble over it lol.  What I am by legal trade is a hairdresser.  Which means I fall somewhere in the neighborhood of PhD Psychiatrist and bartender.  Which means I know all your deepest darkest secrets and what your true hair color is.  I know who you are cheating on, who your husband is cheating with and whether or not your kids are on drugs.  And I am pretty much sworn to secrecy because I want to keep your business.  And let's face it, someone has to cover those gray roots, right?

Ok.  Reading the advice column in today's rag mag.  Someone wrote in to say they were engaged to their soul mate.  But the so called soul mate, aka bitch, packed up and left without so much as a reason.  Very low class if you ask me.  I think if you share time with someone, then they should have the benefit of a proper "fuck off".  Even if it is just to say "hey, I don't love you it's not working out for me, so I"m out".  So natch, the one left behind is feeling rather dispondant.  Well I would too.  For about 5 minutes.  So the leave-ee is not able to eat, not able to sleep, having a hard time working.  No. Bueno.

The columnist drones on about all this psychobabble bullshit.  Love yourself. Be kind to yourself.  You are in mourning.  You are in withdrawal.  .....blah blah blah.

Are you fucking kidding me???

Here is the real version.

Dude, I realize the person you called a "soul mate" split, with no explanation to you whatsoever.  That should be your first clue.  Soul mates don't treat you that way.  it's obvious that you loved her more than she loved you.  Nothing wrong with that.  But it really is better to find out now than later that she was as uncaring as she was.  And let's face it.  She didn't care about you.  That has nothing to do with you and everything to do with her.  She did you a favor by bailing.  This way, you can start your search for someone new, who genuinely cares about you.  Someone who values you, the way you live your life, your morals and values.  YOU.   So don't lose one more minute of sleep over her.  Because I am sure she isn't losing a bit of sleep over you.  Go with some friends to your fave food place, order your fave meal.  Have some laughs and good times.  Stay up late and watch movies with those friends.  And when all is said and done, have a great nights sleep.  Because in the end, you deserve better than her.  And who knows, maybe she knew that and that's why she split.  People around you love you and don't want to see you hurting.  So don't waste another minute and don't wake up another day and give that bitch any more power in your life.  Life's too short and you deserve all the laughter and smiles you can get.

Now that's how it should have gone.
