Ring, ring...
"Hi, you've reached Bee Repartee...."
If you think my parents named me something that looks and sounds like Beer Party, you are sadly mistaken. Repartee means wit or quick retort and I picked it cause it's a big word and it makes me look smart.
What?
And no, I'm not really Bee either but "B" is the first initial of my last name and everyone trusts a Mrs Bee or an Aunt Bee, just ask Opie.
Bee is far more interesting than Jenny, Jenn, or HEY LADY! You have toilet paper on your shoe!. But the advantages of being named Bee, Apple, or Rumer are not completely lost on me. If weird names were cool back when I was a wee tot, my parents would have left the hospital branding me with a name like Oven Door or Buffalo Shine.
Jenn it is because Buffalo Shine is a retarded name.
"...I'm sorry I'm not home. We've been awfully busy this summer...."
Not really. I hate answering the phone. I hate hearing it ring 30 times a day, so I unplug it. I figure that the important people are those who already know my cell and will try me there. Problem solved.
I miss my husband.
Mr Coffee is out of town Monday through Friday again and I'm the host to at least one or two of my kids friends on a regular basis. They're good kids when they aren't owning each other in victory dances after Wii bowling or boxing. Chuck Norris is the preferred Mii for boxing.
Naturally.
"...but if you leave your name and number..."
I won't call you back. I'm busy reading fan fiction online and catching up on things that I won't be able to do with my 14 credit fall schedule. Books, movies, gardening, solving world hunger, and saving baby seals. I have more time in school with my youngest going into full days of 1st grade.
I'm losing weight.
I'm throwing that in subtly because as much as I don't want to bore the retinas from your eyeballs, I'm freaking happy about it. Proud, even. Rumor says that in person, I'm a 70 year old, 5ft drag queen but you probably wouldn't care as long as I can make you laugh. Maybe you would care.
For what it's worth, I'm not a drag queen and I was 5 ft at birth.
"...then I'll return your call..."
Do you ever get crushes on celebs? My daughter's friends and I have gotten into heated debates about Team Edward or Team Jacob. If you know what I'm talking about, feel free to chime in. If you don't please feel free to glaze over at any time.
Edward makes my ovaries explode. That's all I'll say about that.
I turn 30-whatever next month. I'm not old.
Two days later, my daughter is turning 13. It makes me nervous how these boys check her out at the grocery. They stutter, eyes looking glassy...they act half-baked and I bet you a X chromosome they drool. I'm scared.
It frequently goes down this way and I swear they are just begging for a scissor kick in the head.
"...at my earliest convenience."
I'd rather play my guitar or listen to music than listen to 50+ messages I have stored on my phone. Voice mail is not my friend.
Gui Boratto, All-American Rejects, The Script, and David Grey are new arrivals on the iPod. Anyone have a good suggestion for music? Music to write to? Chore to? Run to? I listen to everything however, I don't do country or death metal. I do like a rousing polka, though.
I'm writing a book. Yeah. That's what I said. No, I'm not telling you what I'm writing. I hope it's good enough because dialog is HARD to write. Now you know.
"BEEEEEP"

Edward. Although I actually find the thought of resting my head against a cold marble chest to be disturbing. I'll stick with my human husband!
I know some people go for Jacob, and I can sort of see why, but I am all for Edward personally.
As for music...my favorite group is The Real Group. They are from Sweden and sing acapella jazz mostly, although they do some other styles too.
You have been crazy busy and impressive.
You forgot you are busy hosting international guests from Europe. ;o)
Team Edward, if I have to chose, using your logic that a crush on a 17-year-old is just gross, but a 108-year-old is fair game.
I dare you to put "rectalpupalotomy" in your book.
neither team, sorry I don't Twi.
Music...in general it depends on what you are writing, with that said (don't cha love that phrase) I like everything new, old, mid century, pop, NO CW-well maybe a teeny tiny bit of the old ones; not metal and very little rap. I seem to write more when lyrics are rolling but I once I focus in on what I'm writing it doesn't matter cause in "the zone" it's only me and the words.
There that's what you need to listen to ... zone music
No matter how busy of a Bee or Jenn or Rabbit Oil you become just be sure to drop a post every now and again.
Oh crap, I also meant to say Kudos on weight loss, but you are such a bad girl on accounta I found it!
I'm starting to freak about not having time to do anything once school starts too! (Nine days and counting.) Enjoy it while we can!
Cool. The phone drives me bananas.
Edward. But you already knew that... I hate answering the phone too.
