Funny San Francisco Latina Blogger

May 28, 2010 Claudya Martinez

Fragmented Fridays

Those of you that have been here for awhile are well aware of my on-going feud with Word Verification. I can’t stand the Bitch! For the longest I just passively took her crap, until she started insulting me. Oh sure, she tries to be sly and and changes spellings on me so her insults are not so obvious, but phonetically her non-words still sound like insults. Well, she has really started hitting below the belt. She called me a racial epithet! Okay, so maybe it wasn’t exactly a racial epithet, but I can read between the lines. 
 

More WV
Do you see that? She called me an “unhonki” as in not a “honky”. Hey don’t get mad at me! I don’t use that word, it’s WV that took it there. I got pissed and told her I was Latina. You’d think it would end there, but no. I kept leaving comments throughout the blogosphere and I couldn’t shake the feeling that WV was still taunting me. I was frustrated and angry and then she tries to get on my good side with this:
mantra
Mantra?! She wanted to know my mantra. Like I would reveal that to her! We’re not friends, but she’s trying to act like she wants to get to know me better.  If I told her my mantra she would just use it against me later. 

My friends, I’m changing. I hardly recognize myself. I’ve never been a morning person. If I could sleep until noon every day, I would do so gladly. I’ve never been one of those people that felt life was passing them by while they slept. You know the ones, the ones that say, “I can sleep when I die”; to that I would always say, “No you can’t because you’ll be DEAD!”. So who is this person that has been getting up at 5:45 or 6:00 am, while everyone else is still asleep? I’ll tell you who she is. She is a woman desperate for a few moments to herself.

For about a week now, I’ve been rising before my husband and daughter. I get some work done, I blog, and most importantly I get to spend a few glorious moments alone. I’m a better happier person because of these solitary mornings. Now if my daughter doesn’t take a significant nap, I don’t feel like “my” time was taken from me. I can count on “my” time in the morning and any other time I get is just gravy.

When I got back from Miami there was a package waiting for me from Mimi, “The Cursing Crafter”! It was so nice to go through my mail and find something other than bills. Here’s what was in the package:

SDC13991

It’s a lovely sign that reads, “Warning: All  conversations are subject to blogging. Especially if you say something stupid.” Thank you Mimi, this sign might help me avoid some lawsuits.

And that’s all she wrote! 

Have a great weekend!
