Oh Hai There!!!

I'm not done with you yet, kiddo.

Just you wait..

Heh Heh Heh

"I had an abortion, I demand a brunch on Mother's Day..."
"Yeah, I was a mother. For about 12 hours..."
"Happy Mother's Day..to someone who should have really used birth control"
"In your situation shouldn't it be Happy Mother/Father's Day?"
"Have a drink on Mother's Day. Just like you did when you were pregnant..."
"There is a certain satisfaction to buying a Plan-B pill on Mother's Day..."
"I want to buy all the girls in Teen Mom abortion gift certificates..."

Obviously, I'm very pro-having kids. Yeah...

Why I Am The Way I Am

I blame this song for my fear of math in general...

I'm gonna update movies soon. I've seen so many, have lots to catch up on.

I Hate Matisyahu

Seriously, get thee to a kibbutz and stop making "the best hasidic reggae out there". Stop, please. Your music is so bad, I'm thinking about becoming a skinhead. Stop, for the love of all that is good and pure in this world. Frat boys don't need your kind of encouragement. I swear, some asshole is going to pick up a guitar at a bonfire and start playing your wretched music, and I'll know, because my soul will scream within me and tears of rage and anger will spill from mine eyes.

If Obama proposed a "shitty music tax" on every horrible download of your horrible song, I would support it.

Fuck off, Matisyahu.

THIS IS THUNDERDOME!!!

And right now I got two men with a gut full of fear. Ladies and Gentleman, Dyin' times here....

He's the Ball Cracker! Death on Foot! You know him, you love him!!

The challenger, direct from the Wastelands! He's Bad, He's Beautiful, He's Crazy!!!

Death is listening, and will take the first man that screams....

Weird

So I found another Louisville blog from a totally random Google search.

"Jane Seymour Makes Ugly Jewelery"

Its pretty good, I like

2009-11-18T04:50:00.000-08:00

Should I get on Tumblr

Yes/No?

2009-11-18T04:47:00.001-08:00

Thanks Google

You know its going to be a good day when you type in "I like..." in the Google search engine and the first two options that Google thinks up for you are

1. I like to think of Jesus as a mischievious badger.

and

2. I like to tape my thumbs to my hands to see what it would be like to be a dinosaur.

I wish my life was as interesting as the Google search engine thinks it could be.

If there was an Anthropologie in this Town

My debt would be much, much worse.

Oh lordy these boots

and

Of course I just LURV the most expensive bag in the store. Sheesh, I swear, my fashion sense just does that to taunt me.

Here I am trying to budget and all this gorgeousness is just flying in my face.

Let me stray from this train of thought for just a moment to make a very serious public service announcement. If ANYONE I know or is within earshot of me uses the term "presh" as a shortening of "precious", I'm going to punch you in the face. That goes for "gorge" for "gorgeous", too.

Back to your regularly scheduled fashion lust...

The Dumbest Parking Lot in the City

No one ever parks there.

People just park there to do drugs or make out.

Or dump bodies.

I walked around it the other day and the only thing remotely interesting was a dead squirrel, bubble wrap and lots of goose poop.

I blame Papa John's.

Dear Pregnant Friends...

I promise to be the best non-pregnant friend that I can be to you during and after your pregnancy.

I promise that I won't cuss in front of you before or after the baby is born if you don't want me too.

I promise to have dinner parties with games and I won't serve alcohol because I know you can't have any right now.

I promise to keep my non-pregnancy behavior that could be considered damaging or stressful for baking baby to a minimum when I am in your presence.

I promise to buy you stuff for the baby and even for you because the parents need to get some presents that don't have to do with the baby to keep their sanity.

I promise to love you guys as much as I always have.

I promise to back off if you need space.

I promise to be happy for you with your new found pregnancy/parent friends.

I promise to be very sad if you decide that we can't be friends anymore, because I really do love you, but if you think it would be best, then I'll just have to accept it and move on.

I promise to be accepting and understanding to whatever decisions you make or actions you take.

I'm aware that I can be one of those "unique" friends that can be hard to deal with and probably needs some tact. Please believe me that I'm a good soul. Please believe that I want to babysit and won't corrupt your child. Please remember that I would bend over backwards for you.

All this is said with love.

"Its Worth It Just To See The Kids Get Excited

This is the EXACT reason why I WONT be going to the Annual Wolly Worm Festival in Beattyville, Kentucky.

Actually, its just up state road 11/30 from Bond and Annville, which is really near where I spent summers with my Grandma and Grandpa.

I may have to go down there and take some pictures someday soon.

But I'm NOT going to the Wolly Worm Festival.

The Way of the Universe

Sometimes things change and don't work out the way you expect.

Sometimes its best to walk away from a friend and allow someone to do the right thing, even if they don't want to.

It sucks, but its true.

Love it!! More importantly, need it.

I'm tired of cooking for eight, then either wasting it, eating it or freezing it. I have bricks of some sort of tuna casserole that is just shameful.

Any other single serving recipe sights out there?

The Guilty Pleasure

*I guess its not that guilty if I'm posting it on the internet, but whatever...

The books are crap.

The TV makes for a good little sexy/drama/comedy.

Check it.

Lots of fake boobs and butts, but still good.

2009-06-05T09:31:00.001-07:00

In Times of Trouble

I sleep.

I don't really get it. I mean, you would think that a body would be keyed up due to stress. Mine isn't and I sleep, and I really mean sleep. Like, at any time. Just fall asleep.

It gets kind of embarrasing at work.

2009-05-29T14:00:00.000-07:00

Adventures at Whole Foods

The more I think about it, the more this town needs a Trader Joe's. Then they could give Whole "Pay Check" Foods a run for their money. Now, don't get me wrong. I like the vitamins, cheese, beer, produce, meat, etc, etc. The parking lot, however, has got to be the smuggest, most holier-than-thou, preachy bunch of vehicles I have ever seen (and I've been to a Unitarian Church parking lot. Whole Foods wins hands down). So, I'm leaving after making my purchases. Walking past about 4 Prius's with the obligatory enviromental/Obama/UK Wildcats (I know, but its Kentucky, so everything is UK) stickers, I come to the first non-hybrid powered vehicle. The bumper sticker made me want to get a 2 x 4 give this little Honda Civic a "battered" motif. Get ready, its a doozy...

I Support Meaningless Jingoistic Cliches

Just like looking at the angles on sunken Rl'yeh, my mind just couldn't grasp that statement, at first. Then... Oh yeah "I Support The Troops/I Support The blah-dee-blah" I get it.

My soul rolled its eyes.

Yeah, we need a Trader Joe's.

Sad Bastard Music

You all remember Barry, right?

Ya know, Barry? From High Fidelity?
Since my readers are pretty well "hip" and "cultured" and can probably quote this movie in their sleep, I'm going to assume you know who he is....

I found his blog. And just to be an extra-special asshole, I'm adding him to my blog role.

Hey, everyone needs an anchor to weight them down...

edit: OH GOD HIS BLOGROLL!! Smells like minimum wage...

Its all in fun, kids. I jest because I'm the same fucking way. Don't get your girl pants in a knot.

2009-05-10T06:18:00.000-07:00

Happy Mothers Day

You guys are awesome.

Don't blame yourself for your kids "short-comings". It has nothing to do with you, trust me. Sometimes kids just fuck up all on their own.

I know my mom feels this way everytime she looks at me. I wish she didn't. I love my mom, but I wish she was different, too.

Ah well, all things are level.

2009-05-07T06:13:00.000-07:00

VROOOOOOOM

Busy, busy, buys.

Rush, rush, rush.

Glenn Beck is a wack-a-doo.

Just look. Making baby noises does NOT constitute debate.

Lets see, what else is there. Oh yeah, NO more ice tea before bed. Plus working out in the morning is ok for a few days, but after a while, its pretty wearing.

I guess thats enough random spewage for one day.

2009-05-03T05:37:00.000-07:00

OK, I may not be 100%...

happy with the job Obama is doing as president.

I do NOT, however, think that he is the anti-Christ. Some of the "preachers" that are aired on the TV station where I work seem to think that. They also think the "swine flu" is a sign of the apocalypse. The normal flu is probably going to kill more people. Sheesh. What would Jack Van Impe do without 24 hour news channels?

Social Darwinism

Some names I have come across recently..

1. La-a: What, someone named their kid La-ah. Oh no...its LaDasha. Thats right. LaDasha, except its, well, a dash. I think this could lead to things like *a or M@t.

2. Charieesse- Yes, that was really how she spelled her name. It was on her checks.

More to follow...

I have a problem with children

They make me nervous. Not "screaming, tearing my hair out" nervous, but "feel of dread" nervous. I realize I'm not around them enough. I just say the most fucked up things. I'm afraid one will hear it, repeat, and parents (who are friends) won't allow me to come around anymore.

And yeah, blinky shoes are stupid and so are the people that buy them for their children. The whole "safety precaution" argument doesn't fly. They are mornonic. If the kid is outside at night, give him a flashlight. Trust me, they are much more fun (and dangerous).

2009-03-28T14:34:00.001-07:00

OH THOSE WACKY INTERNET STONERS

Obama- "Heh, Heh, OH those crazy "internet people", Heh, Heh. Don't know what the heck is going on there. I guess if they all weren't so STONED TO BE-JEEZZUS they wouldn't be asking dumb question of me on the Internet."

Um, Mr. Obama? Yeah, the INTERNET GOT YOU ELECTED. THE SAME "STONERS" THAT POST GOATSE AND LAUGH AT LOL CAT VOTED FOR YOU.

Shows you what he really thinks about you "Internet people". Then again, the Internet cares about some pretty dumb stuff.

Like this picture, for instance...

Yeah, Mr. President. The internet is pointless. Just ignore it from now on. Unless you want to win another election or anything. Or look up porn.

Toot Toot, On the Blog Train

Has the "I Can Make Money With My Blog" train left the station, broken down in the tunnel and the passengers are walking back? Dare I invest some scratch in making a blog that can "work for me"? Would someone (anyone?) read a similar blog to this?

I dunno. What do you people (if any) think?

2009-03-21T02:14:00.000-07:00

I can't believe I have to work 16 hours today...

Of course I said yes. I can't say no to people who have power over me. Plus the fact that if I do say no, I'm afraid I'm going to lose my job. Which is going to happen whether I say no or not, so what am I worried about? What really sucks is my boss knows that I have a problem standing up for myself so of course I'm going to say yes to basically whatever he asks. Then he'll say something like "Just think of it as overtime." Well, no-fucking-duh its overtime, you shit-bird. I had to get up at two am, I get off work at seven pm AND you want me back in here at seven am on Sunday. Also, if I wanted to take a sick day next week, I would LOSE the overtime that I built up. I'm owed the sick time AND the overtime. I shouldn't be penalized for any of it. The worst part about it is there isn't that much to do so I have to just sit.
I'm not going to make it, I swear.

Gut Reactions to AIG

It is easy to be angry with the AIG bonus "scandal". Personally, I think it was a terrible PR move, but the people that are upset about AIG are not/probably will never be customers.

I'll try not to cry, but I doubt I'll succeed.

Layoffs

One of my favorite people here where I work was a victim of "cutbacks" today. She worked really hard and did a lot of extra, but apparently the CEO thought her job could be "split up between several people" and she's leaving at 1pm.

I fucking hate this. Number one, she is the most competent person that works here. The other people that will be doing her job have tried to fill in for her when she went on vacation. They suck at it. Totally and unequivocally suck. She is funny and nice and GODDAMN THAT WOMAN.

**edited for saying and venting the TRUTH even though it could get me fired***

This makes me sick.

The Valentines Day Blues

I don't know, but I always get kind of a malaise during this time of year. I am generally happy. I'm very lucky. I really have so much to be thankful for.

I guess I'm just feeling kind of lonely and isolated.

I feel like I havent seen or talked to my friends in a while. I can't go out on the weekends and I want to meet new people, but I just don't think I can.

Meh, Its really not that big of a deal. Just kind of down.

Ice Storm, 2009 and The Fairness Thing

At the end of the fray, 200,000 people without power. I was without for two days and my house got down to 49 degrees. I have power now, but many people I know do not. That being said, I think power crews have done a great job. Bringing 200,000 down to 100,000 in less than 24 hours is very impressive. Between Hurricane Ike leftovers and the ice storm, we won't have any trees left. Audubon Park (a very pretty, large-tree filled neighborhood) looks like a snowy war zone. We are supposed to get more snow over the weekend. On Monday, if I don't get called in, I am DEFINITELY going sledding :).

I've been hearing about The Fairness Doctrine (from conservative talk-radio, obviously) over the past week. I can't believe that the senate and congress are considering re-instating this. Any government regulation of the content of speech is wrong, period. Don't care if you are left, right, center or outer space. That said, I think this is a non-issue brought on by various sides to distract from the "stimulus bill" that is just full of pork and nonsense. Our representatives should be ashamed of themselves. Jobs that won't kick in for two to three years? Come on.

Architectural Appreciation

The more I think about it, the more feasible and money aware it is to build your own home. I've been looking at some of the work that the Rural Studio has been doing in Alabama, and I must say that I'm impressed. Affordable, sustainable housing that honestly looks good. Taking a second look at recycling materials in architecture is also something that gives me hope. While I'm an unskilled dumpster diver, the idea is appealing. Far from being a "greenie", I like the idea of not wasting, and I like the fact that natural materials are being used (straw bales? Whodathunk)
And oh look, they have one with a basement. Yeah, the drawing is kind of amateur, but I like the concepts. And with land being cheap, it might be less money to build your own that you helped to create.

Unwise Wisdom Teeth

I had the bottom right one removed on Monday and got a filling on the same side.

Good lord, I don't know how people get all four done at once. I'm starving and the only thing I can eat is liquid stuff. I'm going by the smoothie place after work the curling up with some pain meds.

I feel bad about not working out this week, but I just can't see huffing and puffing with my mouth like this.

Zu-Zu's Petals

I supposed the whole Capra-esque-ness of the season has embroidered itself upon my psyche.

A theme that is often lost on in "It's a Wonderful Life" is being OK with letting your dreams die. In this case, George Baily lets his dreams go so others can have theirs. Terribly self-sacrificing, but its possible that George wouldn't have jumped if he had just done a little bit of traveling. Maybe if he had gone to college part time, Clarence would have had to hitch his wing-getting wagon to another soul. Being reminded of what is important is one thing, but to just be ok with every ambition that one has in life go? Forgoing adventure for the ramshackled house, the wife and too many children? Never stepping foot outside of Bedford Falls? Is that really a way to live life?

Perhaps it is because I don't have children that I feel this way. Perhaps it's something else.

Anyways, I do love "It's a Wonderful Life". As much as I know that life in Bedford Falls would drive me batty, I would like to know that kind of love.

Digging Ditches

My mother is very much in favor of the "WPA" idea that Obama has for fixing the economy. Since she is a retired teacher and has the best healthcare/pension of anyone I know, of course she wants the rest of us to get on the road crew.

She told me I was too prideful. "Just wait til your starving, then you'll work".

Of course, she would never starve with her benefits. I just hope she gets to keep all of them (who am I kidding, of course she will).

Dr. Wiggly Teeth

So I haven't been to the dentist in a while. I'm wont say how long specifically because honestly its an embarrasment to me. I also haven't been to the doctor in a few years, mainly because I'm afraid that I have something really horrible and incurrable. I would rather not know and just die than know and feel miserable until I die.

Blah, its dumb, I know. I'm going to the doctor after the new year.

Probably going to the dentist before hand, though. I chipped my bottom front tooth very slightly. Its not painful, but I can feel it and I'm constantly running my tounge over it. Also, I still have my wisdom teeth. My back right one has been a little tender today. This could be all mental because I'm thinking about my teeth, but it could be time for those suckers to come out. Also my teeth are getting yellow from all the Earl Gray tea I drink. Honestly, I don't want to make the dentist think that I don't take care of my teeth. I brush twice a day, rinse with mouthwash at least once a day and floss at least twice a week.

Gah, just go. Who care what the dentist thinks. Oh crap, I have to because I'm probably going to go to one of my friends who are dentists.

And yes, they will make fun of me.

HEY I'VE SEEN YOU DO THINGS THAT ARE MUCH WORSE THAN LACKING DENTAL CARE, BUDDY.

I'll just bring that up.

Suzie Orman is no fun at parties

I mean really. It must be hard (well not for her, because she personally is rich) to get up in the morning and tell those who listen to her that we WILL lose our jobs, we shouldn't be spending at all, and put your money in a mattress or a savings account (Quick, which one has a better interest rate?).

Gah, her negativism is appalling. Being cautious now is reasonable and probably smart, but as someone else has said, our economy is based on spending. To stop spending would send the economy into a free fall. Crazy spending, yeah, stop that. But come on, we have to spend some.

Also, save. I'm trying to put 20 to 40 bucks aside a week for saving. Granted, its hard, especially when you live nearly paycheck to paycheck. I'm trying, though.

Racist Friend/Terrorism Suspect

So why does it seem worse that Zawahiri is now "criticizing Obama". I even found myself doing it. This guy kills people, lots of people, yet I was shocked that he called Obama a "house negro"? I guess, maybe, that this is the first real "criticism" that Obama has gotten. I know Republicans criticized Obama, but they were white/racist group that was supposed to criticize him. Because in this election, if you were non-black and criticized Obama, you were automatically accused of racism. My own family did it, so I'm not talking out of my ass. I guess I'm not used to honest, yet not very constructive, critism of him yet. And to think that I heard it on CNN. This quote, however:

"America has put on a new face, but its heart full of hate, mind drowning in greed, and spirit which spreads evil, murder, repression and despotism continue to be the same as always."

This quote from Zawahiri could have come straight from the Daily Kos.

On another note, do you think the Italian president really didn't get the fact that Obama was black when he called him "evenly tanned" or was he making a joke to make light of his race? I think the latter, but I guess I'm in the minority.

Sheesh, could I have used the word "criticize" more in this blog??

Post Election Bum-Out

I was doing OK. Granted, every election I'm always a little bummed because my party NEVER wins (I vote Libertarian). I was at the gym yesterday have a darn good workout. I was on the elliptical watching "The Green Mile" (btw, I have a HUGE crush on the guy that plays Brutus)

ANYWAYS.

I pushed the wrong button and switched the channel to Oprah.

My god, I've never felt so down. Here she was screaming and hollering about how "HOPE WON!!!". She was wearing her Hope Won! T-shirt and jumping up and down. Now, I get the black president angle. Its amazing. We have come a long way.

I just got kind of mad that if anyone else would have gotten elected, at least in Oprah's mind, that "hope" would have "lost". What is McCain? Some kind of gargoyle? How about a third party? Are they tossing puppies into traffic?

At least according to the popular vote, Oprah just alienated a little less than half of her audience.

That really got me depressed. Then I turned it back to Green Mile.

Work it Out, at Work

So since I'm stuck here for 12 hours and technically, I'm supposed to sit for those twelve hours, I brought my weights and my stair-stepper.

Awesome. Now just give me something decent to watch.

On Travel Mugs and National Public Radio

My travel mug (which I got for free when I bought my Saturn in 2003), dribbled Earl Grey tea all over my nice dress pants today like a little brushed-silver infant.

I guess you get what you pay for applies also to travel mugs.

While surrogate child was giving me its own special rinse, I was listening to political coverage on NPR. They were talking about the Obama media blitz and McCain on Florida radio. Apparently, McCain went on one of those "Weenie and the Butt" type morning show and was cutting up with the lame-ass talent.

"Yeah, we have the surveillance cameras up. If you don't vote the right way, you better watch out starting your car in the morning."

Everyone, including McCain laughed. Obvious joke, right?

The NPR reporter added in the most serious and grievous tone.

"That was a joke."

:eyeroll:

This coming on the heels of their "begging campaign" where they told me that giving to NPR was a "moral responsibility". Hey NPR, as a taxpayer, I DO give to NPR. Don't guilt me just because I listen to Cartalk.

Tagging the Election

McCain: Having a Stroke on your stop sign

Obama: Mao called

Paul: WEEEEEEED

Politics Bum Me Out

It is always hard out there for Libertarians. There is always this nagging feeling of waste every time you vote (at least I feel that way a little). However, I always feel better when I remind myself that a vote is never wasted as long as you vote your conscious.

Just remember, Conservatives aren't the devil and Liberals aren't sweet little old ladies that give you money and smelly hugs (well, I guess the smell hug part).

Grain of salt, Grain of salt, Grain of salt.

Between Democracy Now, MSNBC and Fox News, I'm happy to be voting for Bob Barr this election.

Or maybe I could write in "Nurse Joker".

Ladies and Gentlemen, the next President of the United States

Spooky Locations, Louisville KY edition

I enjoy visiting historical/spooky/weird locations around town. Since it is getting close to Halloween, I would like to arrange some field trips.

1)Waverly Hills Sanatorium: They don't allow you to go poking around up there anymore (24 security guards and big fences). However, you can arrange a tour, the cheapest being 1/2 an hour for 20 bucks. Although, the 4 hour stay for 50 would be a blast

2)Witches Castle: This is where the infamouse tourture/killing of Shanda Sherer took place. We were supposed to go last night, but everyone got lazy and didn't want to hike in the dark.

3)The Goat Man/Railroad Bridge: Meh, Pope Lick Road would be fun to go out to. Its kind of out in the country and would be a fun drive. I could also scout for "great tracts of laaaaand".

4)Dead Man's Curve: I think this is somewhere out in Fairdale, and I don't know Fairdale.

I guess its time to relive high school

How to be a Successful Failure

Is there a way to let go of a dream or a desire and not have it come back on haunt you every couple of days?

The law school bug has bitten me again. My scores aren't very good (third-tier school at best) and most bits of advice that I'm getting/have read are kind of like "Are you sure that being a lawyer is for you?".

I don't know what else I can do. Yes, the paralegal thing could work, but I won't make the money that I want. I can't do math, so accounting is out. So is engineering, science, chemistry and being a giant squid investigator (shut up).

I can't do sales. I'm not "attractive" enough to get people to want to buy from me and trust me. Plus, I'm too bitter and angry to exude the kind of trust that most people desire from someone in sales.

Broadcasting/Media=No money to support the lifestyle I want. Plus it breaks my heart everyday just a little to go to work.

I won't teach. I just won't. If I teach, mom wins. She can't win.

There has got to be a way to do this. Either do better on the scores or learn to live with it. I just don't think there is going to be a way for me to get over this. I want my kids to have all the advantages that I did. When they can't go on a trip or we can't afford that school or sorry no money for vacation this year, I've got to be able not to fall apart. Mommy failed you. Mommy fails you everyday because she doesn't make enough money. She had every advantage and she blew it.

Which also make me think I shouldn't have kids, which is another dream of my to accomplish someday. Yet again, if it doesn't happen, how can I not fall apart?

But yet, I'm very blessed and lucky because of my advantage. I feel guilty for even feeling sad, which compounds everything.

I've really got to stop thinking about this. It makes my stomach hurt.

Right or Wrong, You be the Judge

If I was right, status quo.

If I was wrong, I have to apologize to horrible redneck family.

So, I get in from having a couple of drinks and I can't even get into my driveway. Why, you ask? Well, there are about 20 rednecks in the street lighting of fireworks and they are all standing in my driveway. So I pull in and crazy ex-marine neighbor starts yelling at me to do something. Granted its 10:30 at night and I have to get up at 6am to be at work. So I go out and basically shout WHOA WHOA WHOA and try to get them to stop. Slutty redneck daughter of across the street neighbor does NOT remove the cigarette from her lips while telling me to fuck off and go in the house its fourth of July bitch.

So I threaten to call the cops. And of course, they say CALL THE COPS FUCK IT.

Then mom comes out and says something to the affect of "Ma'am, we don't have nuthin illegal (like I give a shit) and its 4th of July so you ain't gonna be able to sleep anyways.

I hate these fucking people. I have seen her sons urinate out of their upstairs window more times than I would like. He just sticks his dick out an pees, and this is at 2 in the afternoon, while I'm watering my plants. Then they play music REALLY loud and have played with airhorns at 12:30 at night.

So should I apologize for being a party pooper on the 4th? Now granted, I have a huge fear of fireworks (phobia is more the term) so I was pretty irrational and a little buzzed (so I would pass out and not be bothered so much by the fireworks). However, they were on my property and it was told to me that several fireworks landed on my roof.

*** Further Rant Starts Here ****

These are the kind of low-life rednecks that used to populate Germantown before the "gentilization" process started. These are they kind of people that would fuck with your house if they got pissed at you. They would pull up flowers and break tasteful lawn art and cause general vandalism. Low-Class people with no repsect for others or themselves.

Sound eliteist? Well, it is. I try to leave people alone, but when you disturbe/upheave/genearally mess with my space, I get angry and want to take action (ie- Call the Police). No, I don't want to hear the entire Lil Wayne Album blasted from your upstairs bedroom. No, I don't want you finding new and interesting ways to fall on your skateboard in my driveway. I just want you to go away. The other neighbors have told me that the cops have been called several times, but there is really nothing they can do. Typical story, seperated mom, working full time. Daughter stays out all night, sons have no supervision.

I swear, I'm getting acerage next time and forgoing the neighbor question all together.

Buying a Scooter

I really like this one

Plus, I can afford it. And at 4.29 a gallon, this would REALLY save me some bucks.

Now if I could just rig a crate to put itsy in.

So I went to Panera Bread today and there were eight, count 'em EIGHT, pregnant women eating there.

Either the Asiago bread causes dilation or I REALLY don't need to be eating there.

Thoughts from a Redneck Wedding

Now granted, I didn't go to the ceremony. I only went to the reception/cook-out.

1. The directions say "turn off the paved road and drive til the road ends".

2. There is rabid cornhole contest going on

3. The host/hostess aren't wearing shoes and don't ever put shoes on

4. Everything served food-wise (aside from the BBQ in the croc-pot) has a vauge cheese flavor. And not real cheese, but boxed mac-n-cheese cheese.

5. Beer was served out of opaque milk jugs.

6. There is a mural of Snoopy climbing a tree in the living room.

7. The music was provided by "a-van-with-all-its-doors-and-windows-open"

8. Truck nuts were left on the "Just Married" vehicle

9. The groom wore his dress socks, which were pink, with his sandles.

I could go on, but my brain hurts. And my mother thinks I was under-dressed because I had on shorts and a t-shirt.

HA!

To Quote Clint Howard

I'M INFESTED!!!!!

With ants. There they were, just trooping through my kitchen to get to my dog's food bowl (which they swarmed over).

After washing the kitchen and dinning room floor with Clorox Clean-Up, I haven't seen any ants. However, I know they are biding their time, waiting for the chance to come back with re-enforcements.

Ick. My brain still is making me feel like I have them crawling on my legs and arms.

*shudder*

Actually, I had this conversation with my step-dad which was kind of funny:

Stepdad: Do you have feral ants?

Me: Well, they certainly aren't domesticated.

LOL I'M FUNNEH

This is kind of what it looked like.

Parked between two Tahos. Feeling like a fool....*

*I thought of that blog title while walking into the gym today and started laughing really hard. Sometimes, I think I'm just too dorky to survive**.

**They performed bizarre rituals up on the roof. Rituals intended to bring about the end of the world and now it looks like it might actually happen!

SO BE GOOD, FOR GOODNESS SAKE! WHOOOOOAAA-OOOOOO SOMEBODIES COMIN'

********************************

But seriously, getting back to the Tahos. So I'm walking to my car when I see some sort of non-descript Japanesse sedan circling the parking lot. She sees the two Tahos and a gap in the middle of them. So she zooms over and starts to pull in between them then is forced to SLAM on the brakes.

For you see, it was my car that was between the two Tahos. It was my car the was almost rear-ended. And to think, as bad as my driving is, it was as close to a wreck that I have been in months (knock on wood).

I have been in the situation where I have tried to pull out from between two large SUV's. It is not an easy thing to do. You almost have to granny it out. By "granny" it, you just have to pull out slowly enough that people will stop for you. It's annoying, but it usually works.

John McCain is Gunny Highway

If you want to know what a McCain Presidency would be like, just watch Heartbreak Ridge.
"At one point, Cindy playfully twirled McCain's hair and said, 'You're getting a little thin up there.' McCain's face reddened, and he responded, 'At least I don't plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you cunt.' McCain's excuse was that it had been a long day. If elected president of the United States, McCain would have many long days."

Everybody Calm Down

OK, so I might be losing my job due to layoffs. Since I just bought a house, I'm scared shitless. I planned on working here at least until I got finished with an internship (which would be non-paid).

I'm a really lucky person. I need to remember that.

Attack of the Butthurt Geese

OH HAI, I'M A GOOSE SQWAUK SQWAUK!! I'm going to sit on your car and hiss at you even though you have to go to work. Then I'm going to crap on your car and almost cause a wreck because the parking lot of a strip mall is a super cool place to hang out if your a goose.

On another note, Happy St. Patrick's Day! Eat some Shepards Pie, drink a Porter and watch The Quiet Man, only the best Irish film EVER MADE!!
