Mackgurl's Musings

Yay! I've finally figured out how to get the recordings to show up on my blog. So this one is a actually a test recording. But I'm playing around here, so don't expect radio quality...at least not yet 😜 This first one is a recording of a post currently up on my blog titled Hostage Negotiations. May just add the recorded versions for those who'd rather listen than read. Plus, this new app has some pretty nifty features that I cannot wait to try out! Hostage podcast Peace, Mackgurl

I think at some point in our lives we have all experienced what it feels like to be in LOVE . Okay, maybe not EVERYONE but most of us have. Just one thought of that person and you are beaming the most beatific smile...you don't even have to be in their presence just the mere thought of them. You just thought of someone, didn't you? LOL I know you did. Any who, that person you thought of (stop lying you know you thought of them) how did you meet them? Through friends, work at a coffee shop (always thought that was so romantic when it happened...in the movies of course). And how did you know they were the one? That you were IN LOVE with this person? How long did it take before you realized it?  "Sheesh, why so nosy, Mackgurl?" I'm being nosy, I mean I'm asking because what I really want to know is this - Do you believe in love at first sight? You know, that feeling of being thunderstruck as soon as you lay eyes on them...a person you've never seen befor

Heyyyy!! I am on a roll - ok not a HUGE roll...maybe more like a small dinner roll... 🤔Anywho, I have another interview for my new series WHO ARE YOU? Tonight's guest is Dexter. Yep, that's it - just Dexter...a man with only one name... Mackgurl:  Good evening, Mr. Dexter. Mr. Dexter:   Good evening and it's just Dexter. Mackgurl:   Okaaayyy Dexter. Pleasure to meet you. So tell me, what do you do? Dexter:  I am a payroll specialist. Mackgurl:  Nice! So you're who people call on when there's a problem or something that they want to change for a company's payroll department? I bet there are tons of reports. Am I close? Dexter: Yes, to a certain extent. My job includes prelim and final benefits and payroll reports, allocation of funds, creating/reviewing spreadsheets (I knew it😏) all in keeping in line with state and federal guidelines and policies. Mackgurl: How long have you been doing this job? Dexter : Two months Mackgurl: Oh okay so still in th

Hey, let's talk about lists. No, not grocery list. Okay,  so I'm sure most, if not all, of you have heard the term BUCKET LIST , right? For the couple of you that don't know,  a BUCKET LIST is a list of things that you want to do or places you want to visit (stuff like that) before you kick the BUCKET (die). I've seen a few posts where people list the items on their BUCKET LISTS and how excited they are to check things off (Hmm, IDK - kinda screams of a countdown to me...) But this is NOT going to a be a BUCKET LIST post. Oh no, that would be too regular and you know your girl has to be different. So this is going to be a post about my ANTI-BUCKET LIST ...AKA Things I do NOT plan to do... 1. Buy season tickets for any baseball team. I am not a baseball fan by any stretch of the imagination. Will I go to a game? Yes, but I won't be happy about it and there had better be BEER, HOT DOGS and POPCORN. 2. Porn. Really no need to explain this one. 3. Play wi

Hey there! So guess what?? I was able to wrangle, rope, secure 🤔? Yeah, let's go with that SECURE another interviewee for my new series WHO ARE YOU? Tonight's guest is Mr. Bradley Charles (don't you just love a man with 2 first names? LOL) Mackgurl: Good evening, Mr. Charles. Mr. Charles: Good evening and please, call me Bradley. Mackgurl: (Hmm, Bradley huh? Not Brad? Interesting): Thank you, Bradley. So what do you do? Bradley: I work for the Social Security Administration. Mackgurl: Nice! Do you like your job? Bradley: I love my job. Mackgurl:  Yeah, that's great! What does one who works for the Social Security Administration (man that's a mouthful) do on a daily? Oh and what do you like about what you do? Bradley: I award benefits to those who have been disabled. It's rewarding to know that what you do helps them find relief. You may hear about wait times but I try really hard to get the job done right the first time. Mackgurl: Wow! That

No, I'm not talking about ice cream. I mean, we can do that too - just not this post. Today, I want to talk about something a little bit more real than that...Do you have a certain type of man/lady that you're interested in? Think back to the people you've dated or been attracted to...no, do it now...go ahead, I'll wait. 🕒🕔🕖 Okay so have your visual yet? If you need more time there must have been A LOT of people. Just kidding. So did any of your interests have anything in common? Ladies, were they all tall, dark and handsome? Guys, were they all curves, long hair and legs? Hey, it's no judgment here - this is purely for scientific research. Ok, you're right, I'm being nosy LMAO Now here's the real question: given that you have your type (because let's face it, that's what it is) would you ever consider dating outside that type? By the way, what IS your type? Let me know in the comments. Peace, ~Mackgurl

Don't you hate it when someone just doesn't take the hint? Like okay, yes we had a party and yes it was fun but that was TWELVE hours ago... GO HOME!!! Like seriously, that stubborn thing is not at all cute. Actually, it's the complete polar opposite of cute. Not a party-er? Partier? Okay whatevs, you know what I meant.  How about this...You're at your desk in your office diligently working on that report that your boss has demanded (aka surfing the net, being on the book, checking tweets, on the gram) and that co-worker (yes THAT one) the one who wants to tell you ALLLLL about, well, their ENTIRE LIFE! (oh, they're 77 so this could take awhile) Meanwhile, you're like puh-lease go! I'm missing something on the gram/book/tweet/space (ok, is the "space" still a thing? LOL) So you smile and tolerate their presence because you're nice but inside you're screaming OMG!!! LEAVE! Basically, it's a hostage sitch.  No? Can't relate to eit

I’m admittedly curious about, well, quite a few things. But perhaps I am the most interested in people. Why they do the things they do…their likes, dislikes, dreams and aspirations. Sooooooo I figured, why not ask a few people a few things about themselves. I’m going to try to convince , cajole, coerce ,  beg , ask a few people to take a few minutes to talk about their favorite subject - THEMSELVES. This is the first in what I hope will be many entries in the series   WHO ARE YOU? My first victim , guinea pig, test subject, guest is Tra.   I had the pleasure of interviewing him this afternoon. Here’s what he had to say: Mackgurl: Tra,thank you for agreeing to chat with me today. Tra: My pleasure. Mackgurl: Okay so no pressure just a few questions to help us learn about you. Ready? Tra: Ready Mackgurl: Great! First question. - What do you do? And by that I mean, for a living? Tra: I sell Kirby vacuums. Mackgurl: A salesman! Very nice! How long have you
