  • I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried! Funny things heard in Courtneyland...

    If you'd like to guess who said it or the circumstances surrounding it, email me . I'll let you know if you're right!

    "It’s my c*nt dammit, and I didn’t want to play nice!"

    "Wraaaarrrragh, yes that's my baby velociraptor shriek"

    "There's really only a few things in life I need: Beer, pu$$y, and beets - and clothes."

    "I'm not cheering for anyone named after a menstrual cycle."

    "She got herself resigned..."

alas, its friday (again) !!

I haven’t been writing, well, I have been, but its all coming across as rather depressing because I’m sort of hugely stressed out…so rather than share it with everyone and depress the living daylights out of you, I’m taking a little break. I have been taking pictures though, LOTS of them and they’ll be over at Courie Takes a Picture. (Maybe later tonight, depends on how much work I get done.) In the mean time, please enjoy:

This crazy kitty
likes to be in the bathroom
while you go potty!

makes you wonder…

There’s been a lot of talk of Karma in bloggie land. There have been lessons about it, speaking of Karma biting you in the ass, and a prime example of Karma being the b*tch that we all know she can be. (That’s just in the blogs I read daily! I can only imagine what else is being written…)

Makes me wonder.

I have to wonder if some of the things going on in my life are Karma paying me back for something I did in the past (although one would think I’ve been paid back already for those indiscretions, incidents of poor judgment, and just plain old mistakes), if its all preparation for something amazing (because I really believe you can’t understand how good something is without knowing/ experiencing the bad), or if its just all part of Life and growing up.

i try to be a good person, do nice things for people and help out where I can.  I don’t do this for the potential Karma payoff.  No, I do this because it makes me feel good to be able to help and give back just a little where others have helped me in the past.  So maybe I’m still working off some good Karma I’ve received? I don’t know.

I can say though, I feel like I’ve been crapped on quite a bit lately. Between some guys, some friends, and some other stuff its been a rough few weeks. I don’t want to be a Negative Nelly - because I really do count my blessings every day (wonderful friends, a job I like most days, and an amazing family) and am thankful for every new day I’m given - but in those moments of rare downtime, I do think about stuff like this and wonder.

I think its time for a dance party to cheer me up. I hope a good song comes on!

Great night a few years back. I miss you Lt. MJ!

Holy Buggers Batman!

I’m so touched. (And no, not in THAT kind of way although that’d be nice…) I’m touched in that make your heart warm and fuzzy kind of way!

Starting last night continuing on today (and hopefully later still), I’ve been receiving visits and comments from people who are stopping by to say hello from Michele. She’s so sweet, I’ve written of her before with her social networking meets blogging and all the fun that it entails. (And you KNOW how much I LOVE social networking!) Well, she picked me as her “New Site of the Day” and has some nice things to say about my blog. You have to go see her to see what they are.  ;) Part of naming me “New Site of the Day” is that her readers go visit this site and say hello! Thank you everyone who has visited and commented so far. I can’t even begin to tell you how bloggieloved this makes me feel. Please make sure you come back again soon.

Now, I’d like everyone to join me in thanking Michele. Ready? One. Two. Three!

:) Thank you Michele!! :)

So far, I’ve heard from many many lovely people. Please be sure to check out their blogs (I’ll create a blog roll just for the people that came to visit from Michele )and say hello to them! They are wonderful fabulous people with interesting things to say.

 Make sure you tell them that CourtneyRyan sent you. ;)

PS Items include:

~Please go see Michele and give her a mental hug for me.
~For those of you wondering? Lost Fly Boy? Yeah he’s here and so far so good. I’ll keep you posted.
~If you’re going to use yogurt in brownies instead of oil, make sure its not flavored unless you want X flavored brownies. (Mine are peach, its not too bad!)
~If we’re in a bar and you touch me repeatedly and I ask you to stop repeatedly and you don’t so then I warn you that if you continue to do so I’ll smack you and you touch me again, don’t get all nasty about the fact that you just got smacked. I warned you. And for the record bald man in the icky Hawaiian shirt. I’m strickly dickly and quite happy. I’m not an angry lesbian. So there :p
~Had a great Friday night with Supergirl! Thanks again K.
