Oh no you di'int!

"oh no you di'int "*
1. A response to a bold statement, accusation, or action; slang for
"you're going to wish you hadn't said/done that," or "b*tch you'll pay for that."
*(taken from the Urban Dictionary)

The following are a sampling of actual quotes that morons people actually have said to me in recent years during actual conversations...

*You can only scratch your head and wonder how these idiots folks leave their homes every day without crash helmets on...

• "NOW I know why Tony fell in love with you!"

(during a conversation with a male, longtime "friend" upon seeing me several years ago after I had lost a significant amount of weight)

Ummmmmm.....thanks......I guess......

• "She's a big girl who doesn't dress right.... kinda LIKE YOU"

(this gem was said to me by a "lady" I worked along side with in the PTA several years ago after I "found" significant amount of aforementioned weight)

Ummmmmmm...... wow.... yeah..... you won't mind if I go out and take a walk in the sunshine and watch my big ole' shadow following me would you?.......

• "My hair was that color once... yeah, a while back.. when I had a bad dye job"

(this was uttered by an acquaintance while she smiled at me the entire time)

OH NO YOU DI'INT!

Lesson for the day...

Back Again for 2010...

Dear friends & followers of my blog (a.k.a. - all 3 of you),

I received an e-mail this morning in which the sender in essence prompted me to "get my finger out" and start blogging again...

(I know what you are about to ask and actually it's an English (as in Jolly Old) expression that my British BFF Marge uses quite often to describe the need to stop dragging your feet about something... as in,

"Jackie! Get your finger out and help me pick out an outfit"

(which would actually NEVER happen, as she is somewhat of a fashion plate and the kind of plates I am interested in usually involve eating!)


Plus, I'm not 100% sure I want to know why the Brits say that or even where your finger supposedly has been...

up your nose?

or some other sordid place that has kept you from doing what you should have been doing all along?

And YES! I understand that the sentence I just wrote broke all kinds of rules set forth by scholars centuries ago... But as I've told you before...

I'm a rebel... a freestyler of sorts!....

That's just how I roll!

I digress.....

Thanks to this (not so) anonymous follower of the Deep End who encouraged me to get back into it...
HERE I AM...

Back Again in 2010!

I hope you missed me as much as I missed you!
