You Are 28 Years Old

28

Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe.

13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.

20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.

30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more!

40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

Seeking Something, Finding That, Preaching This....

2005-02-25T18:04:00.001-05:00

Ok so lately a lot of people around me have been discussing religion. I admit I am not very religious. I do not really practice any thing on a regular basis, but the closest I have found to what I believe is Wicca. I do not believe one religion is right and one is wrong. I believe what works for you, is the best for you. Be happy with yourself, and tolerant of those around you. Treat people the way you want to be treated. What you believe in, should make you happy. It should not make everyone else sad. No one has the right to put down any one else's beliefs.

People try so hard to "find faith", I do not believe that faith should be that hard to find. If you are having that hard of a time finding it, maybe you are looking in the wrong places.
Everyone has faith, you just have to find the place where you can use it. I have faith in my friends and family. I have faith in myself. I have faith that bad things will happen, but I also have faith that the good things will out weight them. I have faith that there is a higher power(s), I do not believe this higher power is judging every move I make. I have faith that if I live my life in a way that helps people and I have fun while I am doing it my life will have meant something.
I also have faith that this will not be the Red Sox's last World Series, or the Patriot's last Super Bowl, also that some day the Celtics will again be a basketball team worth talking about.

Gotta have Faith.

Back Tracking

2005-02-15T10:43:00.000-05:00

Well on January 31, I turned 33. I think I will stop here. I like the way 33 looks. Don't get me wrong I will still have birthdays. I love birthdays. Any day that is all about me is good. Cake, gifts, more gifts, more cake, ice cream, yep I love birthdays.
This years birthday was super fun. I went to Foxwoods with my husband, best friend, and a brother-in-law. Guess what, I WON!!!! I hit a jackpot on a slot machine for $1125!!! After the trip was over and done with I was up $700. I had a blast. I broke even playing blackjack, and won $100 on a five dollar bet on the spinny wheel game thing. I can see why people get addicted to gambling.
I also got a new tattoo, #5. This one means a lot to me. While out to lunch I jokingly asked my Mom what I should get. She said "Mom" in a heart on my shoulder. I decided that was a good idea. So on the day my mom gave birth to me I got her name in a beautiful filigree heart on my shoulder. A tribute to the strongest woman I know, and zing to the Mom who started out hating tattoos, but has grown to accept them and is even thinking of getting one.

Happy Valentine's Day

2005-02-14T11:43:00.000-05:00

I love Valentine's Day.
Even when I did not have a Valentine I loved it. Why? Because I knew I would get chocolate, gotta love Moms. Then on the 15th all those left over chocolate boxes go on sale for 50% off. Lots of chocolate. Which when you don't have a Valentine you eat to make yourself feel better about being alone. Which works until you look down at all those little empty chocolate wrappers, and realize you just ate a bazillion calories worth of chocolate. Ahhhh the ups and downs of chocolate.
Well this Valentines Day will be special I tell you. Just me, my husband, and the 50 trillion germs that have invaded my body. How sexy am I in my jammies, carrying around a box of tissues, red nosed, dizzy, and coughing a lung up every 15 minutes? You know you wanna come get some of this baby!!!!

Life flies

2005-02-12T10:31:00.000-05:00

It always amazes me when I realize how fast time can fly by, yet seem to drag on.

In April 2003 my Mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. Nov 2003 she finished her chemo. Now on 2-1-05 she had the first of 3 or 4 reconstructive surgeries. Part of me is like wow I can not believe it has already been almost 2 years. The other part of me can't believe its only been 2 years. But either way I am just happy she is healthy, and for now only one of her boobs is perkier than mine.

I knew it....

2005-02-04T11:25:00.000-05:00

Walking in a winter wonderland

2005-01-23T13:15:00.000-05:00

So I am sitting at my computer looking outside and there is snow. We are talking up to the kneecaps snow. I can only tell my car in the parking lot because of the pink Mickey Mouse antenna topper snow. The kind of snow that makes you think it might just be easier to wait till spring and it melts.
Now I am lucky. I have a husband that loves me and says as long as I keep the hot coffee coming, I do not have to go out and help him clean off the cars. A deal I gladly accepted, but as I watch him, I do have some guilt. His hot breath billowing white clouds, his cheeks turning bright red, snow flying back at him with every toss of the shovel. I can not help but think, I am glad its not me. I wonder what kind of coffee he wants.

Should I be worried that my husband is a lesbian?

2005-01-17T10:58:00.000-05:00

Ok so I have thought for awhile that my husband might be a lesbian.

The "signs" were there:

Butch hair cut
Big clunky shoes
Gap clothes from the men's section
Never wears make up, heels or a skirt (well there was that Halloween, and that one club...)

So you see I have had my doubts for awhile now. They were all confirmed on Saturday. While out shopping at the mall, with friends, we decided to stop at Sears and look for shoes. Another flag, if you are in a mall full of stores and you still pick Sears for shoe shopping???? At the time, I choose to believe it was because of the sale. (denial it ain't just a river.)

So he picks out a pair of shoe, and HASSSS to wear them out. As we were waiting for friends to finish up, a loverly lesbian(LL) comes over and starts trying on shoes. The pair she is trying on are the exact pair my husband is throwing away. So Hubby speaks up and tells her they are great shoes but hard on the heel for a few days, and shows her his old shoes. Now LL asks what did he end up buying, and hubby sticks out his foot. LL holds up her current shoes and they are an exact match.

Now LL looks at my hubby and says "Hey I like your shirt Gap?"

Hubby, "Yep"

LL, "Thought so I almost just bought that same shirt"

Now I am watching this with my friends and laughing my ass off. LL walks away and I turn to hubby and tell him I always knew he was a lesbian.

Now you may ask how do I know she was a lesbian, well I guess I do not for 100% certainty. But thanks to TunaGirl I got to prove my gaydar skills. It turns out I do know she was gay with 80% certainty. Check it out see if you have Gaydar.

My results: "You personally got 16 of the 20 people correct and were better at recognizing guys than girls. Overall, you guessed better than 85% of all test takers. "

First PJ Day of 2005

2005-01-12T16:39:00.000-05:00

So, it is icy and dreary and just plain nasty outside right now. So since I do not have to work, and I am feeling a little under the weather, today is officially my first PJ day of 2005.

Me and my comfy PJs have played on the computer, watched sappy soap operas, thought about taking down the Christmas tree... Decided against it for the moment, and now I am back to playing on the computer. All in all a total waist of a day, and I LOVED IT!!!! The only thing that could have made it better would have been my hubby home with me. Oh well.

Back to finding something useless on TV to watch.

Wow How Time Flies

2005-01-05T13:52:00.000-05:00

I can not believe that time flew so fast. My last blog was in September. Now it is 2005!!!! Holly cow.

Everyday I sit and read blogs, and everyday I say I have to write in mine. Everyday I procrastinate and say ahhhh tomorrow. There are a lot of tomorrows between September and today.

Oh well new year, new resolutions. Ah who am I kidding new year same old resolutions that I have been saying for years, and just keep procrastinating over.

Although I do have to admit that 2004 will go down as the year my husband and I quit smoking!!!! March 22 will make 1 year!!!! I finally accomplished a New Years resolution!!!!

So here are my resolutions:

Write in my blog more often (wanna start the betting now on how long before I go on a 3 month no-writing break?)
Ease up on the procrastinating
Lose weight
Save money
Finish stuff I start (all those unfinished craft projects look out here I come....As soon as I master #2)

Well we will see how far I get.

Happy New Year everyone.

I Have a Day Off Again!!!!

2004-09-16T13:25:00.000-04:00

Today was one of those days where I rolled out of bed, and just could not picture myself at work.
So I called in. I am badddddd I know, but I have a lot of things I want to do and work was going to take up to much time today. Besides have you seen what's on TV tonight... Joey, Will & Grace, Survivor, Apprentice, so many shows and only one TiVo. I had to stay home.

Wednesday nights my husband and I get together with a group of friends, order dinner and game. Well mostly we get side tracked and end up chit-chatting. I must tell you these nights are something I look forward to all week. We laugh, pick on each other, and just have lots of fun. So I just want to say thank you to all my friends, you make my week.

I have come to a conclusion, hermit crabs are boring! I never see Marvin move. He ends up in opposite ends of the cage, but I never see him move.

I ordered a Greek salad last night, and one of the olives looked funky so I did not eat it. Some how my cats got ahold of it. Did you know Greek olives are like catnip to cats? I did not either till last night. Way to funny.

I think I am going to go do something now. Not sure what, but something.

I Have a Day Off I Have a Day Off!!!!!!!

2004-09-15T13:40:00.000-04:00

Ok so just to prove I am the Queen of procrastination, I have today off, yet I am still sitting in front of this damn computer typing away procrastinating at getting up and cleaning my house.

The Blogger, a procrastinators best friend!

So I have been kinda bitchy in the last few blogs. No reason why, except people annoy me. But then I realized, I am happy not to live in Florida. So I will stop bitching for a little bit.

I have had two of the most amazing weekends in a row that any one can have.

First we went for a car ride adventure, something my husband and I do often. We went down to Glouster, MA and drove up RT 1A into Hampton Beach, NH. We got out and walked around Glouster, saw the memorials to the lost fishermen. (Perfect Storm people and all).
At Hampton we walked the boardwalk, bought cheezy souvigniers, and a new pet. I have a new hermit crab, his name is Marvin, because he has Marvin the Martian painted on his shell. Impulse buying at its best.
We then ended up back in our home town at a great Italian restaurant, where I found out Razzmatinies are very yummy.

As we were driving home my husband said he wanted to go to Boston the next weekend. So me being me, jumped on priceline.com and got a hotel room in Boston for last Sat night. We had a blast, even if I never did find Jimmy Buffett. I know he was in the city somewhere and I choose to believe he was in the hotel room next to us. Yes I know I am dellusional, but it makes me happy.
We had so much fun and I do not think I have walked that much in ages. Through the Common, and Public Gardens, down Newbury St., down Mass Ave, jump on the T to Quincy Market/Faneuil Hall, watched a very cute street performer, found a nice little Irish pub for dinner, went back to the hotel (got a little lost), caught a cab to Landsdowne St, hit the piano bar, toasted to Jimmy playing across the street at Fenway the next night, and went back to our hotel.
Headed home the next afternoon after sleeping in at the hotel and getting breakfast.
Chilled out at home for the night.

All in all a great couple of weekends.

Emergency vs. Non-emergency

2004-09-14T02:10:00.000-04:00

Ok so here is the deal, I want to clarify something to the world.
ER=Emergency Room
ED=Emergency Department
Notice the first word EMERGENCY.
People come to the ER for stupid stuff, and they complain when it takes forever for us to get to them. See the ER is not first come, first serve. It is sickest first, stupid last. My theory is if you are well enough to complain, then you are not sick enough to be in the ER.
I love it when people say, we have been waiting 30 min, I laugh and tell them to get comfy. Oh and when people threaten to leave, Ok, I am not on commission. I did not ask you to come, and if you feel well enough to walk out because you had to wait, then you never should have been there to begin with. Get out so we can treat someone who is really sick.

These are just some of the fun things that people think are emergencies:

colds - take some NyQuil and move on will you.
vomiting - tossing ones cookies once or twice is not an emergency. Especially if drinking was involved the night before
small cuts - band-aids can be bought at CVS and Walmart
medium cuts - Larger band-aids and gauze can be bought at CVS and Walmart
bruises - yep they hurt but guess what, there is nothing that can be done, and just because its bruised does not mean its broken.

Any thing that goes like this..

"When I do this it hurts." Ok don't do that, and see your doctor.
"My child has a fever." Did you give them tylenol? advil? Both can be found at... You guessed it CVS and Walmart. Now if it is still high and you have given Tylenol/advil, then yeah bring them in.
"My child has a runny nose" ok so? Kids are snotty germ factories. Get some tissues and children's cold medicine at CVS/Walmart
"I have had this pain for a few months" ok so it has not killed you yet, it wont kill you to call your doctor.
"I could not sleep" So watch TV like the rest of us. Walmart has a great selection of TV's

Now there are sometimes when a trip to the ER is called for:

Chest pain - come immediately to the ER, DO NOT go to CVS/Walmart.
Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body
Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding
Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes
Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination
Sudden, severe headache with no known cause
Uncontrollable bleeding
Broken bones

There are many other reason to come. I just ask that you use common sense please.

Now we can not turn you away if you come to the ER for any reason. But please if you have a splinter and feel the need to visit your local ER. Do not complain when you sit and wait for hours upon hours to be seen.

Ok I am done ranting

September Already?

2004-09-08T13:47:00.000-04:00

Have you noticed the older you get the faster time flies?

Well I have participated in my first Fantasy Football draft picks. I know nothing about football and even less about football players. To prove my point here are my picks and why I picked them:
Ahman Green - I like green
Trent Green - Like I said I like green
William Green - Getting the picture yet?
Greenbay - Yep I really like green
Tiki Barber - Ran out of green's and thought Tiki was a cool name
TJ Ducket - He is from Kalamazoo and I thought that was cool
A. Toomer - "its not a tumor" done in my best Gov. Arnold voice hehehe
J. Walker - jay walking is not that bad
T Calico - I like cats, Calico cats are money cats, I like money
Alge Crumpler - algae is green, crumpler sounds funny
J Feely - every one likes to cop a good feel every now and then
A Feeley - I like to use both hands when copping a feel
J. Scobee - Scooby doobee dooooooo
Buffalo - I like buffalo wings

I am told I got some good players, that's nice. I wonder what their butts look like?

Drama Drama Drama

2004-08-31T12:44:00.000-04:00

Ok so my last post said I would finish tomorrow... Well tomorrow is a few days late in getting here, but it has finally arrived.

So first off the new Tattoo is awesome!!! My husbands new tattoo is awesome!!! His is on his leg, a Celtic circle design with my name on top of it. Hehehehe I have had him branded!!!
Mine is a continuation of one I already had done on my wrist, I brought the flowery-vine around some more and added a butterfly. It is very cute.

Now for the drama.... I am going to lock myself in my apartment and stop answering the phone. My life is pretty good, but those around me are falling apart.
From co-workers to friends to family, they are all going to give me a stroke. I have a co-worker that for the past year we have been complaining about. She has just been sooooo slow and forgetful. Well every thing came to a head last week. One day she was stumbling and dropping things and could not write anything. We asked her if she was ok and she said yes, her feet just hurt, and she thought she had a sinus infection. The next day I told my boss that we needed to get her some help, its not about her slowness any more, there is something very wrong physically with her. Well my boss agreed and talked to her and had her come in for a head CT. From there they rushed her to MRI. Well we just found out that she has end stage MS. She has been hiding things from every one for awhile now. I feel its because her mom died from alzheimers and I think she thought that's what was happening. I know that's what I thought. Well she has worked at the hospital for 20-something years, and the other evening shift techs have worked with her for most of those years. So now everyone is super depressed.

There is the ever present D. and her life-sucking drama.

There is the pregnant 18 year old sister-in-law to be, and my brother-in-law her dumb-ass fiance.

There is the Grandmother-in-law from hell, who is suing her daughter, my mother-in-law.

My 50 year old aunt, who still hangs out at bars, has some weird mouth-throat viral infection, that has put her in the hospital. ( I know what your thinking - I am thinking it too - What has she been putting in her mouth?)

My other aunt who will not take the Dr's advise and rest so her back will heal. Not because she has to go to work or anything, but because she is bored.

I just want to line them all up and smack them. Maybe I will just go eat lots and lots of chocolate instead.

Killing time

2004-08-26T23:34:00.000-04:00

So its late, I had a busy day, and I am waiting for my hubby to come home from a near midnight run to the store for cat food.
I have to keep myself occupied till then so I do not go and watch Big Brother on TiVo till he gets home.
Today was my day off of work, so naturally I have to run around getting all kinds of stuff done.
First to work to get my paycheck, bank to cash said pay check. Franks Front end for a new tie-rod, what ever that is. All I know is it needed to be replaces to get a passing inspection sticker. To the post office to pick up a missed package. To the flower shop to pick up mums and a balloon. Back to work to drop off said mums and balloon to the co-worker who is having a birthday tomorrow but is not working tomorrow. Home to wait for Steph so we can go get new tattoos...
Well hubbys home so off to big brother.... can not wait any longer... finish my story tomorrow.

Back to the beginning

2004-08-23T11:25:00.000-04:00

Ok so I have not had time to do much blogging, but I have to say a Great BIG thank you to Billy for liking my site so much he linked to it, and blogged about it.
As usual I am procrastinating getting ready for work. I had to work this weekend, and overall weekends are fun at my work. I have cool co-workers, we had a great Doctor on, and it was not to busy. We actually had time to redecorate some of the department. I made chili Sat night for lunch on Sunday. Someone else brought in salsa and avocado dip ( I can not spell guacamole??)

Now one of my first posts was about the life sucking friend I have. She has been doing pretty good since that post. She went to the doctors and got put on prozac or something. So life was going ok for a while. Then Friday came. I had worked the over night so I got out of work at 7am friday morning. Went to bed for a few hours woke up, IMed my hubby to see what he wanted to do that night. We decided to go shopping and out to eat. So I go back to bed for a few more hours. I hear the phone ring a couple of times but ignore it because they did not leave a message. I hear it ring again and decide to check the caller ID, it's D. So I get up go to the bathroom, grab a drink, sit at the computer planning to blog something real quick, go to call her back and it rings again. It is her, I smile and think great now she has to pay for the call. I bring the phone to my ear and before eI can even say "Hi" I am sorry I picked up. I hear the crying. Yep he is late getting home again, they had a fight, she is so lonely, nobody cares, and can she come stay with me. I tell her of course, she knows she is always welcome here, and ask what happened this time. She goes on and on about the same issues, and says "I don't know what to do...insert hysterical crying here". Of course in the back of my mind I am thinking great, there goes date night with Paul. I am horrible I know. I tell her I do not know what else to say. She has not taken any of my advice before so I am not going to go over it all again. If she wants to come stay with us, she and her daughters are always welcome. Well she goes into "I know I'm stupid it is all me and no one cares... I don't want to talk right now, I have to go feed H. and I might or might not be over later." then she hangs up.
So now I am kind of pissed. Does she expect me to sit home and wait and see if she might show up? I call Paul and IM my friend S. at the same time. Rant and rave about what the hell am I supposed to do? They calm me down some, and I call D. back.
I tell her don't hang up on me like that, and she says "sorry just don't feel like talking". I say "fine, but this might or might not be over has to be cleared up. Paul and I had plans. If you are coming I will cancel them in a heart beat, but if you are not I don't want to be stuck here waiting for you not to show." She says "Just go, I will be fine, no one cares anyways." Now I get pissy again. I tell her to knock it off, she knows I care and if I have to I will cancel everything to be here for her. Her mother cares, her father cares, her brother cares, cousins,friends.... She starts crying again, and says just go I will be fine. I tell her to call me on my cell, if she needs to come over. She says ok and hangs up again. Ten min later she calls back wanting to now my cell number. I give it to her and she starts all over with the crying nobody cares crap, then she gets another call and answers it, and never comes back. I have not heard from her since. I should call her.... but I do not have the time since I have procrastinated so long. Time to go to work.
I am a horrible friend.......

Adult Material Ahead.... WhooooHooooo

2004-08-18T11:55:00.000-04:00

Ok so I mentioned my husbands forehead hickeys in the prior post. Well lets tell the story.
See I have the worlds best hair dresser(we will call her LB), and if you live in the southern NH area let me know and I will give you her location. But anyways, during one of my appointments, she invited me to her house for a sex-toy party. Of course I said YES!! My husband came in a little later and she invited him to. He was a little leary, but she promised there would be other guys there. So not one to pass up a party or sex toys, he agreed to go with me.
Next scene, the party...
Well we arrive, and here is what we see...

Lots of food
Lots of margaritas
Lots of Jello shots
Lots of women
NO men

LB informs us that the other guys had backed out, and she did not want to tell Paul because she was afraid he would back out to. No biggie we were here and ready to party.

We sit down and the hostess starts holding up some items... Anal eze, cherry flavored no less, my husband shoots me a look of panic. I smile at him and hand him a cookie. Next come out the anal beads, 2 sizes, and they have a nice ring at the end so they do not get lost. Ok now Paul looks at me and asks "Can I get drunk now?" I look around at the room filled with women playing with anal eze and beads, and look of terror on Pauls face, all I can do is laugh and say, "yes". With that the jello shot marathon begins.

LB and Paul start doing shots of what ever, and chasing them down with Jello shots. Paul eats a cracker and chases it with a jello shot, cookie, jello shot, chip, jello shot, another jello shot, carrot, jello shot, jello shot, jello shot, celery, jello shot.... This goes on as the party goes on and sex toys are being passed around.

LB gets her hands on a whip made out of that koosh ball material, and starts whipping my husband. He likes it.

All the lotions are done being passed around, and out come the vibrating toys, bullets, dual bullets, the butterfly (which Paul puts on his head). The double dong with attached anal beads, some more jello shots.

Now out comes the penis pump, which Paul proudly sticks to his forehead, and swings it around. Everyone laughs. The penis pump is followed by the vibrating clit sucker. Now let me explain for those of you who do not know what this is. It is a little football shaped suction cup attached to a vibrating bullet, and a squeezie thing that you pump to make suction. Paul gets this and it to immediately gets stuck to his forehead. Now hes toasted and the vibration feels good. So he keeps squeezing the suction ball so it will stay on. When he finally is done, and removes it from his forehead, what is left is this perfect football shaped 1" hickey smack dab in the middle of his forehead. Of course I do what any good wife would do, and start laughing and pointing. So every one starts laughing, Paul gets up, looks in the mirror and says "I am so going to hate that in the morning." Sits back down and does another jello shot.

Now out come the vibrators, the cool ones with all kinds of lights and dolphins and bunny ears. Paul grabs one takes one look at all the pretty flashing lights, and in his best Cpt. James T. Kirk voice says, "Stand back Spock, I'm going in".

So now comes the time where you go into a room with the hostess and place your order. Paul comes in with me and says buy what ever you want. Then turns to leave but first a DVD catches his eye. Actually the giant breasts of Jenna Jameson on the cover catch his eye. He leaves, I buy some flavored stuff, a few toys, and the DVD for him, after all he deserved it. It all gets put in my brown paper bag and I walk out. Paul grabs the bag and looks in to see what I bought. After pulling most of it out and showing everyone (defeats the purpose of the brown paper bag) he sees the DVD. Asks LB if she has a DVD player, she says yes, I say no, he says its time to go home and play with our new stuff. OK.

The car ride home....

Filled with him hanging on me, telling me how much he loves me. How lucky he is to have me...blah blah blah

We get home and he collapses on the couch and passes out. The snoring that came out of that boy. Uggggg I left him there and went to bed. A few hours later I hear him stumbling down the hall and into the bathroom. He then found his way back to bed, and passed out again.

He woke up the next morning and looked at all the stuff I bought like he had never seen it before.

So that is the story of his first hickey. Hickey #2 will have to wait.

What is Old is New Again

2004-08-16T15:00:00.000-04:00

So I was just reading a little bit of my old blog, LisaLand.
Isn't it funny when you go back and read your thoughts from time past.
Things that were so pressing and depressing and life consuming, now are just a passing thought.
Yeah I am still afraid of my mothers cancer, but she has had all her treatments, and
everything looks good. Now I am more afraid of her drowning in the lake she swims and kayaks around almost every day. See she is out there all by herself, and I know she is pushing herself real hard to get back in shape and get her strength back. I just hope it is not to hard.
As for the war, yep still nervous, but I am no longer trying to figure out how to build a bomb shelter in the parking lot of my apartment building. I have also stopped hoarding canned goods and water.
Like I wrote when I first started this blog, so much has changed since I stopped that blog.

I am no longer addicted to neopets (but I think I might have to start that again too)
I went from a job in a hospital 40min away to one 5min away. How sweet is that.
Moms doing great!!!! (see above)
Paul was laid-off for 6 months, was employed for 6 months, laid-off for 3 months, and is now happily employed again.
I have added to my tattoo collection 4 times. Gothic Tattoo, simply the best!! They even have a pic of one of my Tattoos. That one is on my left calf.
Our pet collection consists of 2 cats, well one cat and one little witch from hell. The standard guinea pig, a ferret, and a fish.
My hubby has had 2 hickeys on his forehead, which he received at sex toy parties. But that is the subject of another post.

Well I guess that is it for now,

Robert Frost really did sum up life the best....

In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life. It goes on.

Knock-offs, Knocked-up, and Knocked-out

2004-08-16T08:42:00.000-04:00

Ok so not to long ago I had a sex toy party. For those of you who do not know what that is, it is when a woman comes to your house and shows you and your friends some fun toys and stuff to liven up your sex life. (whether that life has a partner or not -- something for everyone). Well that party led to me and my sister-in-law starting our own toy party business - NightLifeParties
But that's not what this is about. The lady that did my toy party, also happens to throw "Knock-off" Pocketbook parties. Now when my toy party was going on and the jello shots and Margaritas were flowing, this sounded like a blast. Everyone said I had to have one. So I booked it for this past Sat. Now people every where wanted to come to this thing, until this past Friday. That's when the excuses started to flow. My mom got sick, my friend D had a wedding in the early afternoon but she was supposed to still come -- to bad she got to drunk at the wedding. Some one had to work, some one else had to work the next morning, another person had a family reunion, on-call, baby sitting, or just plan forgot. What ever the reason, what was supposed to be a 15-20 person party ended up being 4 adults, 2 kids, 1 reluctant husband, the lady that sells the pocketbooks and her friend. Only 1 adult and 1 kid bought anything besides me of course. So I consider the party a big ole bust!!! My first bad party oh well, atleast I got new "Prada", "Louis V" and "Burberry" bags.

Now my husbands family is at it again. The stories I could tell... I probably will eventually. But for now I am going to be an auntie again. Normally that would be a good thing, but this time its a how could you be so f-ing stupid thing. You see the mom and dad to be are idiots. Dad-to-be is my husbands 28year old brother, mom-to-be is his 18 year old fiance. Dad2Be is an immature waste of skin that can not keep a job, steals from his parents, and owes more money than some small third world countries. The extremely fashion challenged Mom2Be is starting her second year of college and wants to be a nurse practitioner - unlikely now. They recently went looking for apartments and could not get one due to financial issues. So they can not afford a place to live but they decide they can afford to have a baby. Now I could handle if they said this was an accident, but nope Dad2Be is proud as a peacock strutting around telling everyone they were trying for this. I am surprised they had time to try in between all the fighting they do.
Now they have already picked out names to. Which is a whole other issue. For a boy they want to name it after my father-in-law, sweet huh? Well one problem my Father-in-law is Paul Jr. and guess what my husband is, yep Paul III. So my idiot brother in law thinks any of the kids can name their child Paul and it will be the fourth. I can tell you I am livid, luckily my father and mother-in-law told him he can't do it. Lets see if he listens. Oh and for a girl, he wants Isabell , problem with that... my sister-in-law has been saying that is what she wanted to name her daughter since she was like 10.
Drama drama drama, that is all there ever is in my husbands family.

Well I am super sleepy, I just got done working the over night shift. Something I am not used to doing anymore. So time for me to go pass out.
Till later,
Smile, it makes people wonder what you are up to.

Wow I am a Bitch, But Stop Peeing on the Floor

2004-08-12T12:01:00.000-04:00

Ok so I have decided I am a bitch. I have been told this numerous times. I feel it is true.
I love my husband, he rocks. He is the sweetest, kindest, most thoughtful person I know.

He never says no to me, he brings me coffee at work every night on his way home from his work. (I work 1p-9p, he works 9a-6:30p) He cooks, he will clean - eventually, he has been know just to stop by work to walk me to my car, and if I need anything, anytime, he will get it for me. So yes I love my husband! I know he is the best! I would die with out him. But please can someone please teach him how to:

Pee into the toilet, and not on the floor
Wipe up the pee that did not make it into the toilet

When we were apartment hunting, we specifically rent our place because it had 1 1/2 baths. He could do what ever he wanted in his 1/2 bath, and I would not care. Problem is he has gotten his bathroom so nasty even he won't use it. This is the man that will use any public bathroom, walmart's, rest areas, porta-pottys, but his is to gross. I have given up on the whole up - down toilet set issue, at least he now flushes routinely.

So yes he is a wonderful husband, and I do not know what I would do with out him, but I have come to these conclusions:

Men are gross
I love my husband anyway
I am a Bitch
He loves me anyways
That makes me really lucky and happy

So Why I Got 6Dz Roses

2004-08-11T11:47:00.000-04:00

Ok so as told you last I had a shitty week and my husband sent me shopping and got me roses. Sound really sweet Huh. Yeah it was, BUT.... Let me tell you why he had to do that...
We will start with the broken computer. For months I have been telling my computer expert husband that there is something wrong with the computer. "Yep I will look at it later". Later never came. See his computer was running fine, so he was playing or "working" on his while mine sat rotting from the virus. Then one fine summer morning I go to look at my e-mail and read the news, and what should I find but a internetless computer. UGH So I took over his computer. IMed him at work and he apologized and said he would look at it later.....yeah right.
I go get ready for work, he calls me I run for the phone and my toe meets a chair leg....enter one broken toe. Now I know technically it is not his fault I am a klutz, but if he had not called I would not have run for the phone and no toe-chair action would have happened. The joy of being married is I can turn it into his fault, kind of like when he threw the picture fame at my foot. (Not really, he walk by a picture frame sitting on a foot rest and knocked it off and it landed on my foot.)
Oh and the whole computer virus... well I did have one but that is not what caused the internet to leave my computer. Comcast did some cleaning and changed the rules, so to have 2 computers and 2 separate IP addresses you have to pay more. So until we did they took away my internet. Bastards!!!
So I am back online, with virus protection, and my computer is still acting strange. Like the other day it decided not to run windows messenger. I would try and start it up, and the computer would just say...ummm nope, and nothing.
And what does my loving husband say when I tell him its still acting up.... "I will look at it later."
I think I will start planning my next shopping spree... Filenes, Target, Bed Bath & Beyond anyone?

6 Dz roses and a $500 shopping spree will make it all better.

2004-08-02T12:02:00.000-04:00

I had a shitty week last week, lets just say the least painfull thing that happened was my broken toe.
So now that Paul has a job and we both got paid he told me to go shopping. HHHHMMM let me think, OK. Sending a depressed woman out shopping with a freshly deposited paycheck... not good.
Yep $500 thats how much money I spent on Thurs. You see Kitchen Ect... is going out of buisness, so I had to get some deals there. Paul needed some new shorts and shirts and Marshalls had some nice clearence deals. My computer died so I needed some software, and where better than Staples. Neither of us felt like cooking so we have to stop and pick up dinner.
And that is how you spend $500 in 5 hours.
Then the next day I come home to 6 dz roses, yeah hes sweet, but he has to be to keep me from killing him and selling his body for more shopping money.

Clock Watching Again

2004-07-23T10:29:00.000-04:00

Yep thats me, if there is one thing I am consistant at it is procrastinating.
It is 10:27am and I have to be at work for 11, good thing I work 5 min down the road. But I will be late, I am always late. I was born 2 weeks early and that was the last time I was early to anything.
Well it is now time for me to run around swearing at myself for waiting so long, and get ready.

Oh Yeah the Chili Cheese Fries Won

2004-07-22T11:45:00.000-04:00

I forgot, the chili cheese fries of doom won.
I was defeated, but it was rigged I tell you!!!!!! They were the biggest Chili Cheese Fries EVER!!!!!!
I shall make another run at them, someday, maybe.

Just another Day

2004-07-22T11:24:00.000-04:00

Have you ever felt like you just kind of walking through life, with no where really in mind to go.

I had so much stuff I wanted to do yesterday, and I did not get one thing done. Now I am sitting here pissed at myself for getting distracted and not accomplishing anything. So instead of doing anything I sit here and type about it. Ugggg
I keep looking at the clock and counting down to the last possible min before I have to get up and get ready for work. Work ugggg another thing I am bitter about.
Don't get me wrong I like my job, & I love most of my co-workers. But I am working off my AS degree. That was paid in full, no student loans, free and clear!!!! But then I decide to get me some more edumication. So $40000 later I have a BA and a BS, and what am I doing with them????? Nothing!!!! Cause I can make more money off my AS. Ugggg

So, I get a phone call from a friend last night. I looked at the caller ID, and I looked at the time, and before I even pick up the phone I know a call from this friend at 10:30pm means her and her dumb-a$$ fiance are fighting again. I have gone through this with her so many times. Each time I give her the same advice, and does she take it? NOPE!!!! So an hour on the phone telling her she can leave, she will survive, she wont be out on the streets, and asking her does she really want to live like this for the rest of her life? Where did it get me? or her? not a clue.

Well I have pushed it to the last min and I have to go get ready now. Who knows maybe I will get something accomplished today.

Here We Go Again

2004-07-21T12:43:00.000-04:00

So I have decided it would be best just to start over.
A lot has happened since I stopped Blogging and To catch up here we go.....
Mom got cancer, Mom had treatment, Mom is recovering nicely.
I quit HFH, and went to CMC.
Paul got a job, lost a job, and got another job.
I am going to start a company with my sister-in-law. NightLifeParties, sex toys baby!!!!
BB5 is up and running, gotta love it!!!! Backstabbing and alliances gallore!!!! Not to mention the fish are much more fun than the lizard thingies.

Well today is game night, and I am preparing for my run at the Chili Cheese Fries of gastric doom!!!! I have come to the conclusion its not the Chili Cheese Fries, its the toasted pita dryness that you have to choke down.

Well that's it for now.
