OK so I really can't believe that I haven't told this tale before but I can't find it after a few searches through my archives so since I used the term recently I thought I would tell the story.
In college my overly co-dependent insane group of friends was hanging out one day when one of us (not me) told a story about how a friend of hers from back home had gone out at night and gotten completely black-out drunk, only to awaken in a stranger's bed having obviously slept with him, and remembering nothing. As "punishment" for this, she decided to literally shit on his chest (he was still asleep/passed out) and sneak out. This is completely horrifying to me on so many levels and we were all in agreement that we didn't see why the other party deserved this punishment when another friend piped up with a strangely related tale.
She had a friend who in a small town had been approached by a local news anchor at a bar who was looking to hook up. She agreed to accompany him back to his hotel room where apparently he stripped, laid down on the bed, and asked her to please shit on his chest. She left immediately and finds it humorous that she knows this about this local news personality.
Luckily none of us find any appeal in the concept of either shitting on someone or being shit on, so we adopted the phrase to mean basically getting dumped on as in:
"I was on my way to jury duty when I got a speeding ticket. The world is really shitting on my chest today."
or
"My doctor told me I have to lose 20 pounds or I'll die. Great, why don't I just lie down and you can shit right on my chest, doc?"
and etc.
Please spread the joy of this phrase as you see fit and enjoy.

Notice my new header photo! I will try to put a note here anytime I change it. This is from my trip to Italy last September. We had a lovely day at the Avignonesi Vineyards and Winery in Tuscany.
Questions about my new weblog platform?...
Glad you asked. It's a super awesome new platform for creating weblogs or any other dynamic site created by my genius boyfriend Rob (robreed at gmail dot com). Email him and tell him how awesome he is.
Why you should visit this site regularly
Because I'm totally hilarious and mostly all I ever do is get too upset about everything, which is typically entertaining for everyone else.
What's going on right now
We're still working on getting settled at our new condo in East Boston. The living room paint color took four tries and we had to paint the final color twice because we screwed up the wall after the first time trying to put a shelf up. We recently discovered our kitchen sink isn't properly sealed to the counter and leaks. The garbage disposal was also leaking and getting worse. Then it fell off recently and I reattached it, after which the leaks from the disposal stopped. Good thing we're not too scared to do some home repairs ourselves. Someday I hope to decide the place is settled enough to have a long overdue housewarming party.

In Memory of Emily the kitty
Greatest kitty in the world! 1992-2010.
Many of you probably have heard Emily stories. She was a sweet and funny cat who seemed to get more personality every year. Imagine how much she had by the time she was 17 and a half years old!
