Thank You for logging on to BeyondBuffalo.com. Come in and enjoy the new and improved, moderately priced, and soon-to-be highly entertaining NON-BITCH policy.

BeyondBuffalo.com is proud to offer this new mindset after many, many (honestly far too many) months of angry tirades and whiney self indulgences. All that is gone.

Yesterday, while talking to Tom about my ever-evolving iBook drama, I stopped myself mid-sentance and said “No more bitching, I’m tired of bitching”

“Ever since the baby died, all you’ve done is bitch, bitch, bitch” was his quick-witted response.

It caught me off guard and sent me into a fit of laughter forcing me to abruptly end our conversation, hanging up with tears in my eyes.

Then, last night, over, again, far too many martinis and Red Stripes I had a chance to get out of my head a little and experience other people’s lives. Greg filled me in on his glamour filled days as a Purser for Trans-World Airways (TWA) and his string gorgeous lovers as we sat in the lobby bar of the Westin Chicago tossing back sipping martinis.

Later, I dragged Greg to Big Chicks, my local watering hole (although, to be honest, that stumble home last night was a bit farther than I remembered) where we met up with Ken and flirted with boys named David and “hey you”. Ken sat me down, bought me a shot and read me to filth, telling me that all I need to do is stop bitching about it and “Do it”. There was a load of truth in that comment. Oh we had good times last night. At one point there was a drunken conversation about something that I don’t recall, and then at another point, oh hell, it was a love fest.

So there you have it. The events that brought about the new policy change at BeyondBuffalo.com, and introduction to my new friend Greg and a hint of things to come about my new main character Ken. (editor’s note: not main romantic interest as sadly Ken is already married)

All that on a school night!
