Mama Blu's

[Ask For More]

So let's see who is up for some conversation and drinks!

Was having a conversation with an old friend and he said sometimes that just floored me. He claimed that he thinks I will always be unfinished business. I don't know why that struck me as something both incredibly romantic and yet sad at the same time. Don't get me wrong, he and I were over before anything ever began but still it gave me a momentary thrill to know that I had made such an impression. So, cover tonight....

Do you have any unfinished business with someone? Is there anyone that occasionally you stop and think about and ponder "what if?". Who is up to share?

A close friend of mine who is married with two kids, told me a couple of years ago that she wishes she had been more promiscuous when younger, and also cited an occasion when the two of us shared a bed after a night out and nothing happened. I do remember the night - I wanted to jump her bones but was pretty certain I would have got rejected. Such is life!

I always wonder when people say things like that. Like sure, now she wishes she had been more promiscuous but at the time, would she have taken the opportunity if you had made a pass?

I have a moment that I wish I could go back and have a do over. But I also know why I bolted. I was young. And he...oh he was everything. I was so over the moon for him. Really really over the moon. We were alone, it was night and we were in the pool. Like seriously imagine a picture perfect, Hollywood setting background. I had spent the entire summer lusting after him with every bit of teenage angsty want that I had within me. But when he bent his head to kiss me... oh I jumped back all the way out of the pool and hauled ass away. Lol. I remember sitting in my car and banging my head on the steering wheel, cussing myself for not going for it. But I think even then I knew I was way too young and anything with him would have been crazy intense and probably problematic.

Luckily, he and I have remained friends to this day and can laugh about it. But oh man... the what if of it all. lol

[blulilacgrl]

Good morning! Good morning!!! *whistles*

I'm thinking Mama Blu's should maybe start a Sunday brunch? What do you think?

If your Sunday brunch has bacon and eggs count me in.

Now darlin'....my Sunday brunch has everything you could ever want. But really what brunch doesn't have bacon?

I have been to a "fancy" brunch or two that didn't have a single normal breakfast item. Very disappointing.
I know your brunch will be very satisfying.

Oh I hate that! Sometimes people lose sight of the goal when trying to impress. Although I recently found a semi local place that likes to do twists on Eggs Benedict and it's fun. Last time I got a Country Fried Steak Eggs Benedict. Holy shit! It was amazing!

Monday 4/15 Cover Charge

Hey hey, fellow Litsters!

Just sitting here dong the piddly little chores and thought I would dust off this thread for some conversation. Well and I had a question to ask. I had a discussion the other day with someone over the concept of jealousy. She admitted that she was a very jealous person over certain things and it took me a while to realize that while I used to be the same, for some reason these last few years have seen me lose it. I just am not jealous of anyone anymore. How about you?

Would you describe yourself as a jealous person? And if so, is it about everything or are there specific things that seem to bring on the green eyed monster? (Gotta admit, not a fan of that phase as I adore green eyes!)

Come on... someone step up and answer the cover charge and let's have some fun!

Nope. I find jealousy is the dark side of appreciation & respect.

 

[blulilacgrl]

Now see... I actually had someone tell me that they jealously guarded their relationships because they appreciated it so much. It was an interesting take on the concept.

So how are you tonight?

 

[PapaRomantic]

I think jealousy has a close tie with insecurity. I tend to be more jealous the more insecure I feel about myself, even if I don't really have any reason to be jealous.

Conversely, when I feel insurmountable, there will likely be little jealousy.

I suppose you can conquer jealousy over time, but I wonder if you can't unless you conquer your own feelings of inadequacy?

I understand that statement altho the word jealousy is being used in a different context.

Tired. I have to hit it soon. I need to wake up way too early tomorrow.

How are you doing?

 

[AbsintheFather]

I've been on both sides of the equation. Jealously is ugly if you allow it to infect you. If you get infected, you become ugly as well. It's better to stay above it. You gotta think with your head and not your heart if you begin to feel it here at Lit.

I'll have an Old Fashioned, Blu

Tired as well. Lol. Did not get a good night's sleep and then had a lot of things to do around here.

I could understand her thought but I just didn't agree with it. Personally I have found that as I've gotten older I've stopped comparing what I have to what someone else has. Especially in relationships. So I'm no longer jealous. As long as I get what I need out of a relationship then what someone else is getting doesn't matter. That makes me sound like a real bitch, doesn't it? Lol

Lol. You and AFM...

I admit I was jealous when I was younger. I was constantly looking around at what everyone else had and wanted it for myself. But then at one point I got it. Took me getting it to realize I didn't want it. It made me sit and take stock of what I wanted and needed out a relationship (and honestly this applies to any type of relationship). Once I knew that, it became easier to not get jealous. Does that make sense?

As long as you're not being totally selfish & self centered, making it all about you & you alone, that doesn't make you sound like a real bitch at all.

 

[blulilacgrl]

Well no. It's not that it's all about me. But I have reached a point where I will ask for what I want or need and if the person I am dealing with can't do it then I will walk away. I know that sounds harsh. I don't mean for it to be. I am always open to someone telling me what he/she needs and I will do my best to give it to them. But if at the end of the day, if we can't meet each other's needs (again applying the thought to relationships in general), then we just wish each other well and go our separate ways. No harm no foul. Is that selfish?

Now I'm jealous . . . Who's this AFM?????

LOL! Ask For More. He always wants the Old Fashioned too. You two are the only ones I know who consistently ask for it.

See? No need for jealousy. Mama's got you.

Hi there. Great to see you and this place open!

For a JD whiskey sour, my answer:

I am not a jealous person. When I see a friend or lover interacting with someone else in a new way, I remember that I have seen jealousy ruin an otherwise good relationship too many times. Lovers, friends, kids: its all the same. And usually over nothing sinister or underhanded.

Life's too short...

I completely agree with you. Sometimes just that quick reminder is necessary. Toast to being older and wiser!
