Hello, Bonjour, Hallo, Hola, Ciao…

aubadegirl is?

Me! – I am an American girl with a love of the world… I’m drawn to anything I wasn’t born into be it language, culture, food or locale. Like you, I’m getting older and trying to fight the effects (every damn day!) I don’t have any answers so I don’t sweat the questions anymore. I try to live a good life, be kind to everyone I come across, experience all I possibly can and leave things better than I found them. Everything else pretty much works itself out…

Also, for what it’s worth, I’m the kind that enjoys taking great care and time wrapping the gifts and then watching the smiles while they’re opened!

aubadegirl loves?

I love to learn, experience new things, new places, new people, new ways of life… We’re all just passing through and life is so precious and amazing that I’m going to live as much of it as I possibly can before my ticket is up and the ride is over! My favorite things and passions run deep and wide.

aubadegirl hates?

Hate may be too strong a word. I generally just avoid, discourage, do not participate in,
distance myself from, resist or fight against the following.

  • Judgments – ignorance/hate/bigotry/intolerance/stupidity, etc…
  • Wasted Potential – in anyone or anything! Each day only comes once!
  • Hairballs – nasty, sticky, disgusting, wet, puckey step on in the dark hairballs!
  • Ladders – f***ing runs in my stockings irritate me to the point of insanity!!!!!
  • Vanity – arrogance or boasting! Get a grip, we’re all replaceable
  • Bad Parenting – sex = kids so if you have ’em, please raise them correctly!
  • Womanizing – most men don’t understand us & wonder why they can’t get us???
  • Over Indulgence – we have too much as it is and suffrage is good for the soul…
  • Irresponsibility – take care of yourself and then help take care of someone else…
  • Alzheimer’s – this took my mom… I paid for all my sins caring for her. I love you mom!
  • Violence – off the field there’s no place or reason for this… just get along…
  • Gossip – if they can’t hear you and you wouldn’t want them to, keep your mouth shut!
  • Complaining – I can not stand complaining! so I won’t complain about this…
  • Bad Grammar – “like” “um” “so” “I think” & so on… please use complete sentences…

  • High Brow – those who don’t mix with those who aren’t their “kind” have no place here…
  • Uni Brow – please pay attention to the little details, like hygiene

aubadegirl does?

I’m a professional girl (corporate type), well educated, hard working, very good at what I do, very capable, independent and getting better with time. I’m the boss so my head’s above the glass! I don’t live to work but my career is a very important part of me. I love it. I love doing it well and I love helping other do well. I’ve earned everything I have and have gotten it all by myself. I’m well compensated and very thankful so I give away more than I spend on my wardrobe (including the shoes!) Philanthropy is really important to me so I prefer to give my time where my money won’t make as much of a difference.

aubadegirl does NOT?

  • Meat is murder! – cows eat only veggies, so do I!
  • Windows – no windows… I just can get the streaks out…
  • I do not do cars – no maintenance, washing, waxing – just driving
  • Overdress – I usually don’t wear too many clothes at home, or any while I’m dreaming!
  • Technical Support – I’ve got a guy for that and I bribe him extremely well!
  • Wal-Mart – I buy local, I buy small, I buy quality, I buy service…
  • Degrade Myself – I am a lady! I act like one and ensure I am treated as such…
  • Give It Away – if you want the milk, build the farm, tend the crops & feed the cows!
  • Flash – less is more so if you have no imagination than too bad for you…
  • Discriminate – everyone deserves the opportunity to be stupid… I keep an open mind!
  • Stop Swearing – never in public but I’ve given up on trying to stop at home (see cats!)
  • No dogs – dogs are filthy animals… cats are too damn moody but they’re clean
  • No Flats – sneakers, sketchers or sandals are okay… but otherwise it’s gotta be heels!
  • Gift Cards – total cop out! better 2B thoughtful & buy it or better yet make it yourself
  • Do Pink – no pink, I don’t own pink, now purple, ooh, I love purple!!!

aubadegirl’s closet???

My spot in cyberspace is a reflection of my crazy mind. If you want to know what I’m like, start at the beginning and read through to the end of my closet! You’ll probably notice I’m not all over these pages (meaning I don’t follow myself around with a camera, snap, then marvel at how wonderful I look in my fantastic outfits). I like to say that I’m not very photogenic but the reality is that work kind of precludes this. I need to keep conservative for the career. I also hate vanity!!!!

You’ll just have to resign yourself to reading about what I like, what I buy and what I have to say about things. If you want to see me, come visit and take me out for a great meal!

Chow!
