Another Holiday of Dealing with the In-Laws

2006-11-27T13:15:00.000-06:00

Dont get me wrong, I love my husbands family, but sometimes they have a tendency to get under my skin. Take Thursday for example. I was sitting with his parents in my garage on Thanksgiving day, drinking wine and having nice conversation. His Dad asked me what I was getting my husband this year for Christmas. I told him that I was thinking of buying him a stainless steel gas grill. We only have charcoal, which prevents us from using it during the week because it takes so damn long. On Saturday I get a phone call from my father in law saying he was at Academy buying a gas grill for my husband for Christmas.

Thanks for stealing the only gift I had in mind. Oh and one more thing...I've just been informed that we are on his shit list for not putting up Christmas lights on the house this year. Wonderful! and for a moment there I was wondering how I could go on living.

A Dog's Life

2006-10-24T09:55:00.000-05:00

Today the pretty girl went to the Doggie Day Spa for a day of pampering, bathing, grooming, manicure, and the oh-so embarrassing anal extraction.

I hope she enjoy's her day at the spa, and I cant wait to pick her up this evening.

On the Menu

2006-10-15T18:07:00.000-05:00

Tonight, its homemade Chicken 'n Dumplings and cornbread. All we need now is a little cold weather. I'm so tired of all this heat. It's supposed to get back into the 90's this week.

I think I'm ready to move somewhere that has 4 seasons instead of 1 or 2.

Why I married a Redneck?

2006-10-13T14:44:00.000-05:00

My husband and I could not be any more different. A lot of times we are able to laugh at our differences, and other times we just get plain annoyed. Today is one of those times I'm annoyed. All week, my husband has mentioned going over to his boss's house to spend the day on his ranch...feeding cows and riding horses. Sounds like fun right...errr everything except for the feeding cows part. They make me a little nervous. So hubby calls today and says that we are for sure going and will leave the house at 6:30 a.m. Saturday morning. *cough* ummm...what time? Well, as loud and tempermental as I am, I came back with a big HELZ NO! My weekends are meant for sleeping. I cant even get up for work 5 days a week by 7:00 a.m. I've been sick for over a month, I took off yesterday to stay home sick for the first time since getting this illness, which I'm slowly getting over, and he wants me up and out the door by 6:30!!! I had to laugh in his face. What is it with the rednecks and their early morning hours? The cows can wait. My husband will get up at 3:00 and 4:00 a.m. to go watch (note how I didnt say shoot) the deer out on the lease with his best bud. DORKS! Okay, that was harsh, but get a life. You cant shoot them til hunting season, so you are going to watch them. Yeah, makes total sense to me.

Anyway, sleeping late makes him mad because it makes him feel lazy. Well, for me, its not lazy, its very much needed. This is one trip of many he will be making alone. Who wants to wake up to a big fat cow anyway? HA!

Myspace Whore

Maybe one day I will blog again, but for now, myspace is my favorite new obsession.

Rant

2006-07-07T12:39:00.000-05:00

There is nothing more aggravating in this world than going to the grocery store. I had to go last weekend because the house was empty of food, and it made me realize that I can barely stand to be in there. I give everyone the dirty look, yes, if you are in my way you get the dirty look and a sigh. Mostly its men wondering around the store aimlessly trying to find whatever the hell their wife sent them for in the first place. Then there are always a few obese people who would rather ride in the electric cart than walk. They usually are riding so slow that six of us with shopping carts are trying to get around. But the worst part of all is the check out line. I am a super anal person and there are a few things that I just cant deal with. My husband loves to tease me about this, doing what he can to aggravate me. Ripping paper out of a spiral note book or writing on a folder without the use of a label are two big no no's. But at the store, its the sackers at the check out line. Having somewhat of a good customer service skill, they like to assist in unloading the cart, and this is the point where I could have a meltdown. Items from the cart should be unloaded in the following order: Heavy items first, such as milk, sodas, bottled water, cat litter, detergent. Next are the boxed items like frozen dinners, pizzas, crackers, cereal, etc. After that comes the canned goods, then all the meats, then produce, then bathroom and/or cleaning items, and finally finishing with breads, chips, and eggs. The purpose of unloading the cart this way is so that items such as bread and chips are not smashed on their way down to the sacker, or placed in the bottom of the bag. If the groceries are organized, then they will be sacked together, therefore making it easier on me when I have to carry them all in from the car and put them away myself. Lately, every time I'm at the store, the sacker comes running up to my buggy to unload it and why oh why do they always reach for the bread and chips first???? I just want to yell..."Get back!" and swat them with a newspaper.

End rant.

Snap It...Scrap It!

2006-06-28T10:30:00.000-05:00

I finally got a digital camera this past weekend. Its nothing special, just a little Cannon, but I promise I will start posting pictures for you guys. I know, I know, its 2006 and I just got a digital, but hey, I know people who still don't have cell phones...so don't judge me too harshly. We bought it for our summer vacations so hopefully I'll have lots to share with you guys.

I'm looking forward to the 4th of July Holiday and 4 days off from work. I have nothing special planned, except to take defensive driving (thanks FindingHeart). I don't want the stupid ass points to go against my license. I might do that on Saturday...rent the video, sit outside in the sun with my laptop, you know, cuz a girls gotta get some sun! I might do some painting in the house too, but I haven't decided just yet. I'll work on getting some pictures posted for you guys.

Do any of you have big 4th of July plans?

Rain Rain Go Away

2006-06-19T15:22:00.000-05:00

It has rained here in Houston for so long, I cant even remember the last time we had one day without rain. My truck is filthy and I need to wash it...this coming weekend will be the first opportunity I have to get some outside chores done. My skin is as white as a ghost. So much for all the tanning I did two weeks ago...its faded and gone. Today was one of the worst rain days here...the Mayor was telling everyone who worked in Houston to stay home and not even attempt to go to work...and where am I, at work of course, not doing a damn thing because no else bothered to show up. About 10" fell in the course of several hours. I just heard a report on the radio that kids were swimming in the streets, for fun of course, and jumping up and down on a floating, overturned vehicle. Where the hell are their parents??? Crazy ass kids are going to end up infected with some bayou shit. All I can say is that I'm ready to go home, put my PJ's back on, and snuggle up back in bed with the dog.

Panties in a wad

2006-06-15T13:54:00.000-05:00

Literally, yesterday I went to the restroom and noticed that I had my panties on the wrong way. The crotch part was on my hip. Yes, that's what happens when your panties are made up entirely of strings.

Get Your Tickets Here

2006-06-12T15:30:00.000-05:00

This speeding ticket is one big nightmare. I'm a speeder and I always will be, this time I just got caught. I was passing some 18-Wheelers when he got me. I'm not angry that I got the ticket, I got what I deserved, but the hell they want me to go through just to take defensive driving is so stupid. I havent been pulled over in at least 6 years. I called the court to ask for deferred adjudication, but they will not allow it. I thought I would try the Blockbuster defensive driving, but now I'm considering just paying the damn fine and moving on. They want me to jump through hoops just to get this thing dismissed. I thought defensive driving was a cheaper alternative for those of us who are good and once in a while fuck up. It will end up costing me more money than it does to pay the fine. Is that the point now days? Are the cities so desperate for money that the make the fine cheaper than the dismissal? So screwed up.

Here is the breakdown:
My fine is $140.

To take defensive driving you must do the following:

Send your plea, proof of insurance, proof of liscense, notarized affidavit, $97.50 administrative fee by cashiers check or money order, certified copy of your driving record from the DPS ($12.00), and proof of the course taken ($40.00) all by certified mail.

This will all end up costing me more than the ticket itself. Currently I have no tickets or accidents on my record, but my husband does. I might just skip the whole thing and send them the damn fine.

What a waste for those of us who actually qualify to take defensive driving. And to think that I'm a better driver for it...pft. Yeah right.

Devils Food

2006-05-30T12:32:00.000-05:00

I've had about enough of the invitations to lunch, dinner, and BBQ's....enough is enough people. The holiday weekends are just a freakin killer! Everyone is cooking and everyone wants you to come and eat their food. I can say that I spent the entire weekend eating. Its ridiculous.

My best friend came in from NY on Friday morning and we had plans to meet for lunch on Friday afternoon. We went out to lunch for Mexican food and we split a plate of fajitas. It was wonderful and I was stuffed. Afterwards, we ended up hanging out the rest of the day and most of the night. Some of her family gathered at her mothers house where we sat around and drank beer and visited. That night we all decided the easiest thing to do for dinner would be to order pizza. It was one of the best pizzas I've ever had, but if you know me, you know what pizza does to my stomach. Its so good going down but a living hell when it comes out.

Saturday night my husband and I went to dinner at his father's new place. It was a BBQ of sorts. Again, way too much food and then they send home all the left overs with us. People...I hate to break it to you, but we do not eat left overs. It all eventually ends up in the trash, untouched.

Monday night my parents had a cook out of Hamburgers on the grill with all the fixins. My dad called and asked me to bring a dessert, so I made brownies. When I got there, there were two other desserts there and nobody ate any of them, so I went home with a full pan of brownies. I love sweets, but these have got to go. I told my husband, they either go to work with him, or they go in the trash. (I did however slip one into my lunch today).

The point is, I'm sick of all this food and the social gatherings that I'm required to be at that involve food. People get upset when you don't eat. I'd be pissed if I made food for a party and then nobody ate it. I cant say no to these people, they are family. So the only logical solution is to exercise my ass off. My husband told me on Sunday night that he wants to start running 5 days a week in the morning before work. Without hesitation, I agreed to go. We were up by 5:30 this morning and gone for an hour. He went to work, and I went back to bed until 8:30...yes today is also a work day. I showed up at 9:30. Nobody is here so who really gives a shit. Next week I'll stay up and just start getting ready for work and get to the office early from now on. I deserve praise because I did this on the same day that I started my period. Now that is really sucking it up! Can I get a Holla!

I may need to lose a few pounds, but my overall motivation is to not feel so badly about myself. Losing weight would just be an added bonus. I want to do this for my health. I sit on my ass all day at work. My position is made to be so efficient that I don't even have to get out of my chair to fax something. Its all done from the computer, so I literally don't get out of my chair all day long. I'm doing it for the energy boost, health benefits, uninterrupted time with my husband, and hopefully from this I will gain a more positive self image.

AND STOP WITH ALL THE FOOD!

You Did Not Just Do That

2006-05-23T13:56:00.000-05:00

Yesterday I left work a tad bit early because my stomach was killing me and I was tired of running to the bathroom or holding it if someone was in there, so I just decided to leave.

A few hours after I was home, my husband calls from work. He could tell by the tone of my voice that I was not feeling well and asked me what was the matter. I told him that I had diarrhea and just felt really blah. Then he says back in a very loud voice, "You always have diarrhea!" and then I could hear people in his office start laughing.

All I could do was hang up the phone and start laughing. I was so embarrassed. He will pay.

Jury Flurry

2006-05-19T13:55:00.000-05:00

Its 2:30 on Friday afternoon and I'm still at work. I'm usually long gone by now, but its been a busy week and I had so much catching up to do. Monday I was summoned for Jury Duty. I dont mind Jury Duty. Dont get me wrong, the f-word flies out of my mouth a few times when I get the summons in the mail, but after I'm there its not so bad. Its my duty and I respect it. Thankfully this time I was not picked, and I was dismissed by 10:45 a.m. and played hookie from work the rest of the day...hey I got paid for it. Speaking of pay, did you know that the State of Texas went from $7/day to $40/day if you are selected as a juror? Not bad. I got $10 just for showing up.

It was nice to have the extra day off work because with Mother's Day last Sunday, I lost a whole day of doing chores around the house, so I made up for them on Monday with about 5 hours of laundry and house cleaning to do.

A few years ago I was selected as a juror. Again while I didnt mind serving, the case was disturbing. A pedifile who touched two little girls had done his time and was about to be released on parole, but the State was trying to keep him from living among us law abiding citizens and wanted to place him a home where he would be supervised 24/7. He was fighting that move, but in the end, we declared that he had to live in the home. Those wack jobs just cannont be cured and should rot in jail. Its so disturbing how many people out there pray on young children. Wednesday night my husband and I watched the Dateline Perverted Justice where this company poses online as a 14 year old child and when the men show up they are confronted and arrested. We could not believe how loser after loser showed up for sex from 14 year old boys and girls. One guy was even chasing around the cat with cool whip wanting to play out some nasty fantasy. Sick Sick Sick. I wonder if someone could sue on behalf of the cat getting rapped? Its too sick to even think about.

Hub will be out of town this weekend, so I'm planning to go stay with Granny. She loves spending time together. We talk so much...usually til 2 or 3 in the morning. In a few weeks she will be moving closer to us, so I want to help her with the packing.

I'm sorry I've kept you guys hanging for so long, but I promise that I've been reading you!
Have a great weekend!

What to give Mom....

2006-05-10T11:11:00.000-05:00

I'll be cruising the mall tonight looking for what to get my mother for Mother's Day. I'm tempted to go with the boring perfume gift because lets face it...I'm gifted out and its only May. However, Mom's always deserve the very best gift, the one with the most thought, so I'm leaving it up to you dear internet...What's the best gift to give the Mom that has everything?

And don't cheat and make this easy by giving me some lame sentimental answer...like I should give her my time or something. I live 20 minutes from my parents and usually see them 2x a week. I would like specific answers such as....go to this mall, at this store, and ask for this item, because this item is on sale.

Good Luck!

Round One

2006-05-08T13:03:00.000-05:00

Its so funny to watch people at work fight. Its so lame and I just want to bust out laughing. They even tried to put me in the middle for the 'he said/she said' thing. I tried to stay as neutral as possible. Here are some of the highlights.

"Dont point your finger at me."

"Stop acting mighter than thou."

"You're property management, therefore you are responsible."

"I need to investigate a little further."

"Nik, what did she tell you on the phone?"

"I dont know what was said because I wasnt the one taking the complaint from her."

"Let talk this out like adults."

"Are you saying I'm a child?" "Did you just call me a child?"

"Whatever, I'm done speaking to you."

"Please leave our office!"

I'm sure Round Two will be on it way shortly.

At Least He's Someone's Bitch Now

AP - Wed May 3, 4:38 PM ET
A federal jury has spared Moussaoui from execution, Wednesday May 3, 2006 deciding he will spend the rest of his life in prison.

This is an instance where I find rape to be socially acceptable in Prison. I hope he is given no protection from the American Thugs who want to beat and rape his ass.

Welcome to America you mother fu*ker! We hope you enjoy your stay!

Ask and You Shall Receive

2006-04-30T21:08:00.000-05:00

Lately, things have been going well. The husband and I had a busy weekend, but after a month of hunkering down, laying low, and spending the bare minimum, we were able to take some time this weekend and have some fun. My boss gave me the 30% raise that I asked for, and even though I havent seen my pay increase take effect, there is at least some light at the end of the tunnel. I'm sure things will start to get a little easier now that the budget isnt so tight.

The Woodlands hosted a community garage sale on Saturday. Hubby and I were able to sell our junk....we didnt make much money, but at least we got the house de-cluttered and spent the money we did make having fun and going out.

I dont know why, but I'm happy that April is almost gone and May is here. Our weather has been great...and while the tempertature is comfortable outside I've been taking the dog for long walks and jogs each day. Its so nice to get out and enjoy it after being cooped up in the office for 9 hours straight, five days a week. I need it, my body needs it, and my mind needs it. I dont even take along a walkman, I just use the time alone to reflect on what's on my mind and I'm hoping this will help me to understand myself and my body more than before. Besides its already bathing suite season and I'm no where near ready for that.

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Happy Monday!

Gulp

2006-04-21T10:13:00.000-05:00

I'm going to cry now. My brother just canceled coming to town this weekend. I was so excited about seeing my nephew and now he's not going to be here. I also chewed my husband's ass the other day for wanting to go to the Shell Houston Open and play golf while our company was going to be in town. Now I'm going to get a big "AaHa" and he's going to play anyway.

You Snooze...You Lose...And You Piss Me Off

2006-04-19T14:34:00.000-05:00

I've been shopping for airfare to Phoenix for quite some time now. Southwest Airlines FINALLY released fares today through September. To my surpise, our flight only costs $200 each. That's not too bad considering that Continental.com was selling it for $360 for the last 6 months that I've been looking.

So, before booking on Southwest, I checked Continental one last time...it was still $360 and my Dad had done the same. So I booked 4 people on Southwest, me, my husband, and both my parents. Right after I booked the flights, I went back to Continental and GUESS WHAT!

NO REALLY....GUESS

GO ON....TAKE A STAB AT IT!

Continental.com had dropped the price to $178 each. Those little mother effers. They just lost business on 4 people because they were too slow to drop the price. Southwest was already selling out of their flights. No wonder you people are going under. I want to fly on your airline yet you cant publish your fares fast enough for those of us who have nothing else to do at work but check airfares 50 times a day, waiting for the price to drop.

Best of Both Worlds

2006-04-17T14:06:00.000-05:00

Let me start off by saying that I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter holiday and you didn't get run over by all the madness and family that surrounds it.

My husband and I had a wonderfully busy weekend. I worked a 1/2 day on Friday and spent most the afternoon and evening with my Grandmother. She lives here in Houston, but we want her to move closer to us, so I took her house hunting while Aaron played golf. Poor thing has such a terrible memory and it was so hard for her to remember one house to the next. I'm sure we'll have to show them to her again...and again...about 5 more times before it really sinks in.

Saturday was extremely busy getting things in order for the BBQ with Aaron's family. We had to make food and pick up some tables here at work to take over to her house, along with our BBQ pit and a cooler full of beer. I picked up the grandmother, again, and we all headed over to the in-laws for the BBQ feast. About 16 people showed up and it was a nice gathering. Aaron's father was there with his new wife and she brought about 6 of her friends with her. Most of them stayed on one side of the yard and spoke to each other in their foreign language while the rest of us sat around and looked at our wedding albums. I about flipped my lid when one of the Philippino ladies opened up my wedding album with a plate of food sitting on her lap. We didn't pay $3,000 for pictures for you to get your greasy, egg rolled fingers all over them. Show some respect beyotch! Anyway, the party went til about 11:00 that night and then we headed for home. The dog woke me up about 4 times begging to go out and poo. Apparently, she was given a lot of table scraps and now she's sick.

Sunday we woke up early to get ready for church. We had to go to my parents house to drop off the dog in the back yard so she could poo at her leisure. Then we headed off to church at The Woodlands Pavilion. They said about 10,000 people showed up and it was such a beautiful day outside. Afterwards, we headed to my parents house for a late lunch and more Easter celebration...meaning more food. Man, I really picked a bad week to start this new diet...its called starvation. I was doing good for about 2 weeks until Easter killed it.

Here is the point of my post. Aaron and I really have the best of both worlds when it comes to our families. They are both so different yet we get to enjoy them both. His family's feast is paper plate, beer drinkin', BBQ where as my family feast is a China dish, wine glass, four course meal. Either way, we enjoy them so much. After the leftovers are gone, its back to the diet.

Happy Easter Everyone

Raise Me Up...Before I Go Go

2006-04-12T15:28:00.000-05:00

I'm writing a letter to my boss right now asking for a pay raise. Not only do I deserve it, but he's the one that told me to do it. I must be below market or something. Anyway, I better get what I'm asking for because a damn tank of gas isnt going down anytime soon. This summer gas will go up, and I wont be able to afford to drive to work! Stupid Saudi Royal Family can suck big donkey balls.

He Did WHAT!

2006-04-07T14:25:00.000-05:00

My husband and I found out just a few days ago that his father (my father n law) was going to get married...his third marriage. My husband's parents have been divorced since he was around 18 years old. His parents have always remained close friends. In fact, his father will tell you today that he's still in love with his ex, he just f-ed up too much for them to stay together. Anyhow, I think he met this woman on a blind date...oh I'd say about 2 weeks ago. Next thing we know, he's talking marriage, and yesterday they tied the knot. So strange how none of us were invited. It was a quick drive down to the JP office and it was done. Now his new wife can file for citizenship. She came here 12 years ago from the Philippines, and has been working here illegally ever since. We are wondering what the hell is going on here. He must be getting paid by someone to make her a citizen. My husband's father is not the type to fall in love and want to get married. All of us kids cant figure it out. He's doing things that are totally not like him....going to parties, staying out late, getting all dressed up in a suit and going to church. Every time I've asked him to go to church with us he says, "Fuck No." Oh well, at least she can get him to go I guess.

We met her last night. I'll admit that she is a very sweet lady. They seem so in love, and I'm happy for them. This is her first marriage and in my humble opinion...she doesn't know what she got herself into. I love my Father n Law more than anything, but sometimes he can be a piece of work. Anyway, they both will be joining us at my mother in law's house for Easter....yes, his ex wife's house. She's bringing egg rolls....what a surprise. We hate egg rolls but I'm sure we will choke them down with happy smiles on our faces. Its weird when you talk to her because I don't think she really understands what we are saying. 12 years in the country and she doesn't speak English all that well. This is going to be very interesting.

I Have A Complaint

2006-04-06T11:46:00.000-05:00

When you host a contest on your website, make sure you can handle the millions who want to play. I waste my time registering and picking my stocks to play and now every time I return, your website says my information is unavailable due to high traffic volume. What do you expect when you advertise the competition all over NBC. Fix it!

EEEEKKKKKKKK

2006-04-04T09:03:00.000-05:00

*Insert Scream*
That's what I did this morning when I walked into the breakroom at work, flipped on the light, put my lunch in the fridge, and saw something with a tail scurry away underneith the kitchen cabinets.

I screamed and ran. I'm sure my co-worker found it all to be amusing. He serched for what ever the hell it was, but it looks like there is a small hole under the sink where the pipes go into the ground. I called property management and they are going to come out and set a trap. Wonderful...I get to watch the thing suffer and die now.

I'm a city girl people, I dont like rodents and I certainly dont like to watch them die.

I Hate Everything About Traveling

2006-04-03T11:52:00.000-05:00

Okay, so that trip was a beating. I was gone for 5 days. My 6:30 a.m. flight out of Houston was delayed because we didn't have a flight attendant. That really pissed me off considering that I had to be up by 3:30 a.m. to make it to the airport in time, but I guess Continental attendants show up whenever the hell they want. I worked in the Dallas office Wednesday and Thursday, partying every night with people from the office. Its so neat the things you learn about people while on a business trip. I've got some good dirt on people. I also have a really great boss. I got to know him and he got to know me, so that was a good thing...considering that I'm about to ask him for more money.

I took the day off on Friday so I could stay at my brother's and keep my 1 year old nephew. He is such a doll, except for the 6:30 a.m. waking up thing. All weekend I would get up with him and we would do our thing. He is such a blast and makes me want a kid really bad, but man, I'm beat. I felt like I never got to sleep late and with the time change....this week is going to suck.

I was a little miffed when I got home. It was nice to see the husband and the dog and cat...I really missed him, but when I saw that dishes were still sitting out from last Tuesday evening, the trash was not taken out, and the cat's litter box wasn't emptied on both trash days, I started to get a little angry. I was doing all this cleaning up at 10:30 Sunday night. When I talked to my husband about it, he said I was being a nagging wife. That little comment sent me over the edge. First off, I'm not nagging, I'm upset and voicing my frustration. It takes 5 or 10 minutes to clean up and he had 5 days to do it. I'm really surprised that he did this, considering that my husband is such a neat freak. I'm also angry because when I did the bills this morning, I saw that he spent $100 eating out those 5 days when I specifically prepared meals in the fridge for him. He only ate one of them. I pulsed out $20.00 for my 5 day trip and came home with $9.00 in my wallet. What the hell is wrong with him? He has such an addiction to fast food...but its the money he spends on it that is making me sick. How many wives do you know that stock the fridge with home cooked meals for their husband while out of town? I'm sure there are not many...and now I'm nagging???? I may not work as hard as he does, but damn it, I bring home a paycheck too, and I know that it cant be wasted just because I've got a craving. The worst part is...he wont apologize to me. He said that if I didn't nag about it, he would have offered up an apology for it later. It still doesn't change the fact that I had to come home and take care of it. I never expected to come home to a clean house. That's something that I can do during the week. I just expected that the daily chores were done. Its going to be a very long marriage until he learns to just say he's sorry so that I'll shut my pie hole.

I'll catch you next time

2006-03-27T15:26:00.000-06:00

I'm really trying to read all of your blogs today, but I just cant seem to concentrate, especially on the comments. Please forgive me. Its Monday, I feel like crap with the worst headache to top it off. We are supposed to have company over for dinner tonight but I'm happy they changed to tomorrow night...even though I need to hit the sac early tomorrow. I have to be up by 4:00 a.m. for a 6:30 a.m. flight to Dallas Wednesday morning. I'll be gone all week, returning on Sunday. Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Already Gone

2006-03-24T14:02:00.000-06:00

Okay, its 2:00 p.m. on a Friday and no one is answering their phones or e-mail. I guess that means that its time to go home.

*UPDATE*
My boss is a loser. He wants us to sit in our office and file papers for the rest of the afternoon...calling it a 'mindless activity'. Did I mention that today is Friday?? Just because you dont want to go home to a house full of screaming kids doesnt mean that I dont want to go home to a queit empty house where I can watch my TiVO or sleep between my cold sheets snuggled up next to my Golden Retreiver. Besides, I got here an hour before you did buddy.

The $5.00 Cure All

2006-03-23T14:06:00.000-06:00

I'm having a shitty day, but the world just seems a little bit better while sucking down a Starbucks Venti Cinnamon Latte. Example: The day went from, Freezing my ass off, to just Cool and Crisp, My Husband bugging the shit out of me to Turning off the cell phone, and Having a few things to wrap up at the office to Not giving a shit about it at all. See? I highly recommend it.

No Hunting While Females Are In Heat

2006-03-21T21:53:00.000-06:00

I really hate PMS'ing, its so fricken embarrassing. Tonight my husband put in a hunting DVD and within the first minute I watched an elk bull get shot. The tears just started rolling down my face. As soon as he heard the first sniffle, he sent me out of the room, literally pushing me up off the couch and saying "GO!" I cried all the way into the bed room. I had to take a hot shower just to relax. I'm such a pussy.

Halleluiah!

2006-03-17T11:03:00.000-06:00

Ain't nothing like the feeling of booking a cheap flight! I've been shopping the rates for weeks, and finally today prices dropped and I swooped in and grabbed two seats for me and my honey to go home (his home) to Missouri for his Grandpa's 80th Birthday.

Questions Answered

2006-03-16T11:34:00.000-06:00

Hazel asked:

If you could choose any career, regardless of your qualifications and disregarding all the downsides, which would you pick? Why?

This is a great question, and something I actually think about on a daily basis. I like my job, but I don't love my job because its just not one of those things that anyone would ever dream to do, but it pays the bills. However, if I could choose any career, I would want to work either for the Secret Service, NSA, or CIA. I am a government buff. It was my major in college. I worked closely with the Secret Service when I worked at The White House. Now most or almost all of the agents I worked with were Presidential Protection. That's not really my cup of tea, but I would like to be an agent no less, working in my home town. Its a lot of investigative, undercover work, which I love. Kind of like putting all the pieces together to solve a puzzle and bring down a criminal or a group of them. I hold back going after this dream for two reasons. I'm scared about the training and I'm scared where they will send me. You don't really get to choose. They need you in Spain...you go. They need you in Kazicstan...you go. I can request to work in Houston, but its no guarantee. Watching shows like 24 really make me wish that I worked in a high stress, extremely demanding job to protect National Security. Unlike here, where I arrived at work at 10:00 a.m., 2 hours late, and no one was here to notice.
Thanks for the great question!

Its A Beautiful Day

2006-03-14T08:45:00.000-06:00

The weather cant get much better than this...very sunny and high's in the 70's with very low humidity. Everyone is on Spring Break, except for me. I'm here working, enjoying the weather from my windows. Hope all you Spring Breakers get out there and enjoy it today. Damn, I knew I should have gone into teaching.

Waaaaa....I broke my sunglasses yesterday. :(

It Wasnt Me

2006-03-13T13:48:00.000-06:00

Why would you even ask me if I ordered the wrong thing? After two years of working here, do you actually think I would just out of the blue order up the wrong size construction drawings, or perhaps the person who sent them sent the wrong size. Dont even waste my time by asking me such a stupid question.

It's True What They Say About Women....

2006-03-13T11:46:00.000-06:00

They cant drive worth a shit. I had to go to the bank on Thursday after work, so of course, only the drive-thru was open. The line was at least 10 cars back in all 4 lanes, but I had time, so I waited. Of all the cars there, it was the women that took the longest in each lane.

She pulls into the bay, puts the car in park, then digs around in her purse and pulls out her deposit slip. She pushes the button and askes for a pen. We wait. She sits there and fills out the paperwork, even though she could have done it over the last 30 minutes we waited in line, but that's right, she didnt have a pen. She puts everything in the tube and sends it out. We wait. When the tube comes back, she opens it up, pulls out the contents and puts the tube back in the bay. Then she sits there and puts everything back into her wallet neatly. Then she puts her wallet in her purse. Then she digs out her sunglasses and puts them on, checks herself in the mirror, slowly puts the car in drive, checks her mirrors, and slowly moves out of the bay.

Meanwhile, I'm the one behind her yelling...Go you effing biatch!!! But hey, that's just me.

Deduct This!

2006-03-09T13:13:00.000-06:00

I just opened my paycheck for this week and thought that maybe my company had given me a big pay raise. Come to find out, payroll didnt take out ANY deductions. And wouldnt you know that no one will answer my e-mail as to why?

Stupid deductions! I'd be rich if it werent for our stupid government and stupid healthcare.

I'm keeping the big check so bite me!

Still A Bitch

2006-03-08T11:22:00.000-06:00

Still here....still sick.

I think the husband is getting a little tired of me. I've been a grade-A bitch the last couple of days. Oh well, there's been a lot on my mind and I'm still not feeling very well. I think he's wondering how long I'm going to be sick...like I can predict this or something. Its like every night is busy until 11:30 and I never get to sit down and relax. He watches our shows and his movies and I'm in the kitchen either cooking, cleaning, or making lunches for the next day. Don't get me wrong, Aaron pitches in around the house all the time, I just feel like I never get to relax once I get home from work. Its always a dead run until bedtime and never any time for me. Aaron offers to take on some of the responsibility, but I'm one of those types of people who doesn't like delegating, because I would rather do it myself and know they are done right or just how I want them to be done. Its something that over time, I'm going to have to learn to let go of.

We just made a huge financial decision and although I'm happy with our choice, its still very stressful and frustrating. I'm just ready for this week to be over with. Hopefully I'll feel better by the weekend so I can get some much needed chores done...otherwise known as, me time.

I Can Make A Livin' Outta Feelin' Blue

2006-03-06T15:12:00.000-06:00

Okay, so i'm here and that may be all you get. There is so much to say, but I just don't know if I feel like typing it all out. For you my friend....I will try.

I'm sick as a dog. Is it normal to taste blood when you cough? I didn't think so. I know I'm sick from riding in a freakin plane. You people who fly when you are sick disgust me.

My ass was dragged to the Clay Walker concert at the Rodeo last night. The husband and I have seen him over a million times. I can pretty much predict his song list, but eeeewwweee....is he HOT! The way he dances and tilts that cowboy hat forward is such a turn on! I always tell my husband leaving the show..."Honey, we've got to get you a cowboy hat and belt buckle for tonight." Anyway, the concert this time around was great because we actually had tickets in a private box with all the free food and drinks. I'm sure it sounds great and all but when you are sick and don't feel like eating or drinking, then its not that great, but whatever. I got to wear my black cowboy hat and boots. Guys please note, that if a girl is sick, but has a cowboy hat that she never gets to wear, new cowgirl boots, and new hair extensions, believe me, her ass is getting up and going to the show, so don't ask twice. And what's up with all the 15-16 year old's getting drunk at the Rodeo? We had a school of them in the box next to us getting trashed and yelling out, "We love you CLLLAAAAYYYYY!" (Insert *scream). I remember when I was that age, it was all about the beer and how we where going to get it. Its funny now that I'm 27 and I choose most of the time not to drink because I cant handle the side effects like I used to.
School + Hangovers = Not a bad day
Work + Hangovers = A brutal beating

What is it with men that makes them turn to children when they hang out together? We all got in a crowded elevator after the show and I see the two *boys* (who are in their 30's) looking at each other and laughing. I can tell right now that I know what my husband is thinking. I look at him and say, "Dont do it or I'm going to kick your ass." Just before the doors open, both the boys let out two huge farts. I have to admit that it was hilarious in the elevator, but then they walk down the crowded side walk let out as many as they can at the passers by. When will they ever grow up?

That's all for now. Still have a lot of work today and not enough energy to do it.

Denver does Texas

2006-03-03T11:09:00.000-06:00

First off, to all my blogging buddies, I apologize for not getting to post, I've been in Denver on business so there just wasnt any time. Lots of work had to be done, and of course, a little bit of play.

I had to go for some Corporate Training, and let me say that our corporate trainer girl kicks ass! I've never had so much fun while actually working. The people in Denver rock! I had so much fun hanging out with everyone there. Our last night in town, they took us out drinking and dancing. First we went to a martini bar. I drank an Apple Martini and a Pink Panty. Yumm. I've never had a martini before. I'm a beer drinker and I must say that those little things are expensive, but a guy from the office was sweet enough to pick up the tab. Then we were up for a little dancing, so we went, of all places, to a western bar. In comparasion, not as good as Texas, but shit, the beer was free. Let me say that again, THE BEER WAS FREE! And I dont mean that someone else paid, the club actually gives away the beer. So I guess you can see how the night went. I had two martinis followed by lots of free beer and I was feeling good. I danced the night away with these people. I taught all the girls how to two step and line dance, and one of the guys thought that it would be fun to swing and spin me around the dance floor all night. Good times. I was able to get some hair exensions in my hair, which made me look ooh so hot and young. I've never had long hair before, so I enjoyed it. Oh, and there was the little incedent on Wednesday night where I was talking and walking, and stepped in a pot hole in the parking lot and fell, which pretty much took out my knee. Not only did I tear a hole in my favorite pair of jeans, but my knee is pretty banged up and swollen. Too bad I was sober for the little mishap. The pain would have been a lot more tolerable if I was a little slushy. Again, good times. Flight was delayed on the way home, but so excited to see my husband and get home!

News Flash

2006-02-24T13:32:00.000-06:00

Last night I decided to do a little hanging out at the mall. I had a purpose for being there, I needed to get a hair cut and highlight, and then buy some make up. After completing what needed to be done on my list, I should have gotten the hell out of there, but I drifted over to the shoe department and found a pot of gold. All their boots were 75% off, which was exactly what I needed, another pair of black boots. So, I bought myself a new pair of black cowgirl boots, regularly $135 for $34. I was so damn excited! I'm wearing them today.

My feet hurt. Gosh, its so painful to be woman.

No Passing

2006-02-24T11:09:00.000-06:00

I was late to work this morning because I was stuck behind the Rodeo Trail ride, horses and chuckwagons all over the road. If my boss would have been here, that would have made for a pretty unbelieveable excuse. "I was stuck behind the horse and his chuckwagon, and I just couldnt pass him". Only in Texas people, only in Texas.

Bills turn to Reality

2006-02-23T10:37:00.000-06:00

Last night my husband and I sat down and mapped out a plan for becoming completly debt free in 4.5 years. While doing this, we also both came to the realization that Haley, our beloved Golden Retreiver only has about 4 more years on her life. It was one of those moments where you pause and think, I would keep all this debt for the rest of my life if it meant that she could stay too. We love this dog like a child, and have watched her grow and age since was 6 weeks old. Aaron gave her to me for my birthday. She was the best gift I ever received.

I Ain't Sayin' She's a Gold Digger

2006-02-22T09:45:00.000-06:00

When Aaron and I went out for dinner last weekend for my birthday, we were seated next to this couple, you know the kind, he's in his 60's and she's in her late 30's. I thought they were an attractive couple. She had a kick ass body and he was...well, older. You could tell the age difference was so clear because she was drinking beer and he was drinking coffee.

Shortly after we were seated and ordered the appetizer, this couple broke into an argument. It got really heated and really loud. Aaron looked at me, and to my surprise, asked what they were fighting about. I couldn't hear for sure, but it was loud enough that we couldn't carry on our own conversation. Then the live music started playing, and he started yelling louder, so as to be heard over the band. At one point, the guy actually got out of his chair and was yelling in her face, like a pissed off baseball coach nose to nose with the umpire. I was so hard not to stare. Aaron and I didn't say a word to each other, just in-case we heard something good. Its not like we were trying to be nosy, if you want to fight in a restaurant, your business then becomes everyone else's, and it wasn't like they were trying to be discreet about any of it.

Apparently, she was a bad girl on her weekend away to League City. She couldn't get her stories straight about who she was with and the old dude was going to beat it out of her, maybe in the parking lot.... I wouldn't be surprised. If my man was in my face like that in-front of so many other people, he's the one who would be getting the beating. Anyhow, thank goodness they left so we could continue our drinking, eating, and having fun without the War of the Roses going on at the table next to us.

Weekend Update

2006-02-21T09:00:00.000-06:00

It turned out that I had a great weekend. The weather was freezing, but tolerable. We spent Friday night celebrating my birthday with my family. My mom cooked a great meal and then we all watched a movie. Saturday was spent with my husband. We went out for breakfast, saw the movie Eight Below, and then went to dinner late that night. Sunday I spent all day returning the gift my husband got me and shopping for a new one. I ended up buying a kitchen island, something he had searched for but couldnt find. We set it up late Sunday night. I love it! Yesterday I had the day off, Presidents Day, so I ran some errands and baked cookies at home with my mom. I wanted to take them to my husbands work, but he said he would take them this morning. What do you know that they were sitting on the counter when I got up this morning. That just pisses me off. I guess I'll run the damn cookies over to his office this afternoon.

Why is everyone so pissy today?

Another year goes by

2006-02-17T11:39:00.000-06:00

Can you believe it internet, tomorrow I turn 27 years old! Only a few more away from 30 and there is still so much more I want to do. I want to have kids before the age of 30, but I'm not ready as of yet. I would love to go back to school for my masters or MBA, but I wanted to do that before the babies. I've accomplished a few things over the years. We bought a house a year and a half ago, and a new car two months ago. The plan now is to reduce the debt and get to a more manageable number before the babies.

Tonight its dinner with the family...mom's cook'in, and tomorrow I get the spend the day with Hubby...dinner and a movie!

Have a great weekend!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

2006-02-14T10:55:00.000-06:00

Wishing you all and your sweeties a very Happy Valentine's Day! I cant wait to get home and get to work for this evening. Hub and I are cooking our Valentine's meal together. Then I promised last night that I would wear something "fun" for later. Shut up...we are still honeymooning. We never make this day a big deal. I made him a basket filled with Valentine themed boxer shorts, candy, and cologne. I also got him a watch, but I think I'm just going to hold on to it and give it to him for his birthday, which is in April.

Anyhow, this afternoon I have to leave work early for a doctor's appointment. My right shoulder has been in a lot of pain lately, I can barely move it. I guess we'll see what's up with that. My mom says its tendonitis. Hopefully he'll prescribe some medicine and I'll be on my way. My mom thinks I need it to be injected, but I think I'll pass. I don't do needles very well. She came to hold my hand on my last tetanus shot. Yeah, I'm a big baby. I even take the lollipop when I leave.

I hope you all enjoy this special day with that very special someone!
XOXO

His Toy

2006-02-13T09:35:00.000-06:00

Hub has offered to sell his favorite toy. I'm surprised he even offered, but I think its one of the best ways to reduce some of our debt. Anyhow, talking about it this weekend he asked to sell it and buy a 4-wheeler, something he could use more often, for instance, at the deer lease.

Boys and their toys, will it ever end!

Idea down the toilet...

2006-02-09T16:28:00.000-06:00

What is the point of a toilet seat protector if the toilets are motion censored to flush? Once I get the paper sheet down on the seat, and turn around to sit, it flushes on me, taking the paper with it. So then I have to get out another one and try all over again. Is there an exact science to this method?

And The Award Goes To...

2006-02-09T08:48:00.000-06:00

So did anyone watch the Grammy's last night? I only got to watch a few minutes of it here and there because my husband hates pop music. I happen to really like it. I was happy to see Kelly Clarkson win some awards. I think she is amazing, even though I'm not an American Idol fan in the least. Mainly I wanted to see Madonna and I knew she was going to be in the opening act. Did you guys see her? Dayum! She looks hot! I was such a huge Madonna fan as a little girl. I used to run around the house singing, Like A Virgin, and my mom would just look at me wonder if I even knew what it meant. I'm not the type of person to run out and buy a new CD if there is a band I really like, I just like to blast it in my car. Hub sits there and says, "What is this shit?" He likes really old, classic country. We are so different. I love country music too, probably more so than pop or hip hop, but sometimes you just need to sing and dance to something with a beat. I also got to see Mariah Carey sing with the choir. I cant stand her, but that woman sure can sing. She makes me want to jump off the couch and scream, "Thank you Jesus!" And finally I saw the end where Green Day won the award for best album. Throughout high school I didn't like Green Day. I couldn't stand their masturbation song, just the thought of it makes me want to puke. But now the band has gotten so much better and I just love their music. I would even love to see them in concert. So that was it, that was all I got to see. We watched Lost instead.

Computer Hell

2006-02-07T18:08:00.000-06:00

Our computers have been down at work for over a week now, and its becoming very frustrating. No internet access and no e-mail. I have no idea what the hell is going on. Our IT department wanted to install something to make our office computers work faster and therefore help us be more productive and efficient. Well, what do you know that once the guy left who did the installs, everything crashed. Our IT department is in California, we are in Texas. I say, fly your asses down here and get it fixed so we can get back to work (and back to blogging) :)

Sorry to keep you guys hanging for a few days. Hopefully everything will get back to normal soon.

Kill Whitey

2006-02-03T10:34:00.000-06:00

Recently I've been consoling a neighbor who just found out she has a malignant melanoma on her ear and possibly another on her back. I know she is really scared, I mean for God's sakes she's only 22 years old. It makes me wonder if I'm next to find out that I have one. My mom had one on her back when she was young too. They dug out a lot of skin on her back which left a huge scar. I do go to the doctor every year so she can check every inch of my body, and I also have moles removed for cosmetic reasons, but I have been burned in the sun a lot. I'm pretty fair skinned, but I do tan gradually. I was always really dark in HS and college because I tanned at a tanning bed or layed out all the time. Now I might lay out every once in a while on the weekends in the summer, but I always use sunblock, just not the right kind. I usually put on like a SPF 4 dark tanning lotion. It keeps me from getting burned, but what about all those times I was blister burned by not using sunblock? I know eventually its going to catch up to me. My husband forbids me to go to tanning beds anymore. A few years ago he told me he would 'kick my ass' if he caught me going to the tanning salons. I took him seriously because I knew he was concerned, so I stopped tanning and now prefer to use the sprays or lotions. They are expensive, but they are also a safe alternative to the sun. I'm just not comfortable getting into a bathing suit or wearing shorts as pale as a ghost and that's why I like to layout or use the tanning lotions. I'm hoping my neighbor will be okay, I know it sure does scare the shit out of me.

Groundhog Day

2006-02-02T09:30:00.000-06:00

First off, I hated that movie. It was the most annoying movie I have ever seen, and second, that stupid groundhog saw his shadow this morning which means 6 more weeks of winter. I cant really complain, because the high today will be 78 degrees, but I was really looking forward to Spring. Hub and I are dying to get out and do the flower beds. We want to landscape and plant new shrubs, trees, and flowers. We might have to wait just a bit longer.

5 Guilty Pleasures

2006-01-31T15:28:00.000-06:00

Whew, you miss one day of blogging and you miss a lot. I have been tagged by two bloggers, so I better get to it.

Three Time Loser asked me to list my five most guilty pleasures, so here they are in no certain order:

Dogs and Puppies....I cant get enough, especially if they still have puppy breath, and golden retrievers are my favorite breed.
Cake batter, brownie batter, and cookie dough. I like them more than the baked outcome of each. Wonder why it tastes so different? All you have to do is add the air.
Movie popcorn with butter. Hub makes fun of me because its like I cant shovel it in fast enough.
Mexican food. If you live in Texas, its a must because we know how to do it right.
Naps...you can never have enough naps. I even enjoy those weekends where I might take two naps in one day.

Okay, I know it says to tag five people, but I'll just tag two:

Shooter

__________________________________________________________

Onto my second tag:

AL asked me to list the "So called Perfect Partner List". Here are the rules: The tagged victim lists 8 different points of their perfect lover/partner, mentioning the sex of said partner. Tag 8 victims to join this game & leave a comment on a post letting them know they've been tagged. If tagged before, no need to contribute.

Responsible- You know us women could do it all, but it helps if he can chip in once in a while too.
A Family Man- I love a guy that loves me, our future children, and his in-laws.
Open Minded- Change in a relationship is inevitable whether you ask for change or if it slaps you upside the head. I want a man that looks at the opportunity, not the road block.
Affectionate- My husband hates public display of affection. When he sees couples smooching in public, he's the one to say "Get a Room". He's getting better, but I would like a whole lot more of it!
Handy Man- Must be able to maintain my car and my house, which he does.
Self-Sufficient- If he's hungry, he makes a sandwich, if the house is dirty he cleans it, and if there is laundry to be done or folded he does it. I've hit the jackpot on that one!
Likes to Play- I like that my husband has his own hobbies. He rides his dirt bike, plays golf, and hunts. I feel that these "toys" can make a man. I feel sorry for the guys who get dragged all over the mall (but I'm sometimes jealous too!)
Romantic- I missed the boat on that one. My husband doesn't have a romantic bone in his body, but his body sure does lead me to romance!

Now I have to tag 8 people!!! Sorry guys. If you read this post then consider yourself tagged okay. Leave me a note in the comment section to go and read your post.

Thanks for playing!

Over the Weekend

Thanks to everyone who sent in wishes of rest for me, it really helped to cheer me up. I was able to get some sleep in the later part of last week. I had some trouble again the last few days, but overall the Tylenol PM is working for the most part.

Saturday it was forecasted to rain all day. We woke up to sunshine for the early part of the afternoon. The husband and I went out for breakfast and then over to the Harley Davidson shop so he could drool over bikes. After that we went to Home Depot and Lowes looking for a kitchen island. No luck there, both stores were sold out, however we did find a screen door that I really wanted for the back door. Its really cool because it retracts into the frame of the wall, which is nice for us because then the dog cant tear the screen when we arent using it.

Afterward I wanted to catch a movie so we went to see The Chronic of Narnia. It was such a great movie. Hub wasnt too excited about going to see a kid movie, but he said it was so much better than he expected. I was a little peeved all throughout the movie because about 4 rows behind us a little boy threw a tantrum for almost the entire movie. Yes, I'm one of those people who constantly turn around and shoot the parents a dirty look. I know, its mean and I'm in for a world of hurt once I have children, I too will see how the looks can hurt, but c'mon...get up and take the kid out, they must have known that he was disturbing the entire theater? What was surprising was that usually when we go see a movie, they show the preview about turning off your cell phone, no talking, no crying babies, but they didnt show that for the kid movie. Wonder why? Then in front of me there was nasty caugh fat guy. Every time he belted out a phlegm filled caugh I had to hold my breath for fear of getting germs. He also had this disgusting habit of tossing back his 72 oz cup of ice into his gigantic mouth, and people, I am talking head tiled in the full back position letting the ice flow down his throat like a college kegger.

I am a nice person though....really. Just before the movie started I noticed an older couple looking for two seats and I offered to move on the other side of my husband so they could have two seats together. See...I told you I was nice.

Anyhow, now hub and I are arguing over Superbowl plans. I could care less about the game, but we had promised some friends of ours that we would do something with them for the superbowl. Now hub is changing everything and inviting people over to our house. I'm a little peeved by this because I did not want to entertain people at our house that night. My parents have offered for everyone to come to their house. My dad just bought a new 50" HD TV. I really want us all to go over there, but Hub says no. He claims our friends will be 'uncomfortable'. I'm not sure what that is supposed to mean, but the comment had me steaming. Now I dont know what I'm supposed to tell our friends that we made plans with about a month ago. I do agree with Hub that he should be making the superbowl plans, but its not fair to make plans and then drop them or change them the week before the game. All this puts stress on me because I have to get the house clean and in order and prepare food for everyone. Hub and I agreed to just not talk about it anymore since we cant agree on anything.

Do you have any plans for the Superbowl?

Hang In There

2006-01-26T14:57:00.000-06:00

Sorry to all the blog fans out there, I know its been a while since my last post. Honestly I havent been in the mood for just about anything. Today is Thursday and I havent slept since Monday night. I cant seem to figure out what is wrong with me. I just cant sleep, and its driving me crazy. I've tried reading, moving to the couch, moving my husband to the couch, a warm bath, Lavender lotion, counting, concentrating on my breathing, TV, exercising, and earplugs. I've not taken Tylenol PM in at least a month or two, but I'm going to have to break out the bottle tonight. I cant make it another day looking or feeling like this. I have plans with my mother tonight that I just cannot break, but nothing going on this weekend. I will welcome the thunderstorms with open arms on Saturday.

Lack of Sleep Followed by Lots of Sleep

2006-01-23T10:30:00.000-06:00

Wow! Such a great weekend. Friday night we went over to our friends house and played games until 5:00 in the morning. It was so much fun. I had been up for 48 hours until I finally went to sleep. We were having so much fun playing air hockey and Texas Hold 'Em poker. Around 1:00 a.m. we made the decision to keep going all night long because everyone was having so much fun, by 5:30 a.m. I was crashed.

Saturday, we got up around 1:30 in the afternoon and decided to go out to lunch. We were both starving. Its like I couldnt shovel my burrito fast enough. I calculated that it had been 15 hours since my last meal. Damn, and wouldnt you know that I forgot to bring my left overs for lunch today.

Saturday night was spent watching movies, as well as Sunday morning. Then we went next door for some chili and watched football games. All the guys played pool and drank beer while we prepared food. Sunday night I was in a mad rush to get all the cleaning and laundry done so I could watch Desperate Housewives. Tonight its grocery shopping and then we are going next door to watch 24.

I hope everyone had a great weekend.

The Interview

2006-01-20T14:30:00.000-06:00

Okay, so the interview went very well, not to mention very early. We met at 6:45 a.m. at Starbucks. Who likes to talk at 6:45 a.m.? I was up and out of bed by 4:30! Of course, I didnt get one wink of sleep. I kept running through my mind how I wanted this interview to go and what sorts of questions I needed to ask and how fake I was going to be. I think he liked what I had to offer, so then he asked the question; how much money are you looking for? When I told him my price, I think he clutched his heart, fell out of his chair, and died right there on the floor.

Oh well, I have a good job right now as it is, and if they want me to leave for a postition in which I am way over qualified for, then they are going to have to cough up the dough. I told him to go ahead and make an offical offer next week (and watch me reject that shitzzz).

New Jobs

2006-01-19T08:29:00.000-06:00

Well, it seems that some doors are opening around here. I've been getting several phone calls a day for offers on a new job. Its so nice to be wanted. The only thing that makes me a little nervous is that they call me at work, which makes me feel guilty. I mean, what if my boss answered? He would know what's going on because the person trying to get me used to be our old VP, and has since moved on with a bigger company. Of course, he makes it all sound very appealing. I guess the only problem with taking this job would be the commute. Its A LOT further than what I drive now, but he promised he could make it worth my while (which rings in my ears as more money!) Poo on me that I left my cell phone at home today. I have no privacy at my desk, so when they call, they must think I'm retarded with my vague, one word answers.

Another job that I'm waiting to hear back on is one that a friend of mine recommended to me. Its with Major League Soccer. Houston is getting a soccer team, so that opens up a few doors as well. I'm assuming that it would be downtown (still a far drive).

At my current job, we have been told that our offices are moving next year, either out on the Beltway or to the Galleria. So whether I stay or go, I'm still eventually going to have to make the commute. So for conversation sake, lets ignore the commute and focus on something else. Lets talk about the person at the first mentioned job shall we? I've heard things...after he left there was a lot of talk about his work ethic and conduct while here at my current company. He worked in Dallas so I didn't get much interaction with him. In my opinion, I thought he was a great guy. Always took care of me, kept me on board amist lots of layoffs, gave me the salary and benefits I wanted without question, and begged me not to leave the company despite how slow business was in Houston. After he left, there was a lot of talk of his un-ethical conduct, which I must say, some of it was to the employees benefit. Even though he is going to hire me here in Houston, he will still be working in the Dallas office, so I wont have direct day to day contact. Here is my question, do you judge a person by their reputation, or do you judge them based on personal experience?

A New Life

2006-01-17T09:54:00.000-06:00

A very close friend of mine had her first baby yesterday, a baby Girl. Please go over and congratulate Jazzy on her new baby.

A girlfriend and I went to the hospital last night to visit Jazzy and meet the new baby. She is so precious and cute. She looks just like her daddy, which is a good thing. Jazzy is doing great too. She and her husband didn't know the sex of the baby until she was born. We all thought for sure that she was going to have a boy, but either way, I'm glad its a healthy, happy baby.

I'm slowly coming around to being ready for a baby. Ideally, we would like to wait a few more years, but definitely before I turn 30. Hubby on the other hand is a little different. He wants to make sure that he can still golf and hunt after we have a baby. I found that comment to be a bit selfish, but hey if that's the worst of my problems, then I think I can deal with it. There are a lot of women out there who put up with a lot worse from their men. We know that a baby changes everything and we might not even be the same person we are today after we have a baby. I just don't think we are ready for more change in our lives. We need to be us for a while and spend this time working on our marriage, becoming more intimate with each other, and a little more financially stable. My personal goal is to use this time to become closer to God and develop my spiritual relationship in all aspects of my life. Its something I have let go of and need to get back.

Has having children changed you?

Relaxing is actually a hard thing to do

2006-01-16T10:39:00.000-06:00

Late on Saturday night, I decided that it would be nice to take a long hot bubble bath. I knew I would have to clean out the tub, its been a long time since I've used it. My husband always asks why I don't take baths more often...after all, when we built the house, I begged for an oversized jacuzzi tub. I spent about 30 minutes cleaning and sanitizing the tub, yeah it had been that long since its last use. After I was finished I plugged the drain and began filling it with water. I opened up my Burts Bee's bath crystals and dumped them in. The intoxicating aroma had me peeling off my clothes and excited to take that first step.

I stuck in my toes to test the water. EEKK...cold. What the hell? I felt the water coming out of the faucet...cold. I turned it off and then turned it on again. Still no hot water. I yelled for my husband. He checked it out and then went in the attic to check the pilot light. It was on, we were just out of hot water. He had used the washer, dishwasher, and then I cleaned the tub, so we were out. I sat on the bed for an hour and half to wait for the hot water to come back. I had to drain the tub of cold water, including my crystals, and refill it with hot.

Finally, I was able to slip into a hot bath and relax. Hubby came in the bathroom and watched, then suprisingly got in with me. Did I mention that I was trying to relax? Surprisingly, it turned out really nice for me. He just sat in there and rubbed my arms and shoulders. I couldn't have asked for anything better. Well, that was until I heard...Blurp...(bubbles reaching the surface). I looked at him and he had a big grin on his face. That was when I decided that I was done.

Since the tub is clean now and ready for use whenever, I took a bath last night and then another this morning before going to work. Who would have thought that after taking showers for 18 years or so, that having a bath would be so nice.

I encourage you all to make the switch, even if it is just for a day or two.

Last Night

2006-01-13T11:44:00.000-06:00

Husband: Lets make cookies together.
Me: You mean I make cookies while you sit on the couch and watch TV.
Husband: No, I'll help.

*Watching me put all ingredients together
Husband: Do you even know what you are doing?
Me: Watch it buddy, you're treading on thin ice.
Husband: But it called for 1 tsp of salt and you only did a 1/2 tsp.
Me: 1 tsp is too much salt.
Husband: I hate when you change up the recipies.
Me: Get away.
Husband: Can we just eat the dough?
Me: Fine.

Family Matters....or do they?

2006-01-09T12:16:00.000-06:00

Does anyone have that family member that doesn't tell you about their health problems, or the fact that they will be having heart surgery today only because they don't want you to worry? Then they get upset with you because they think you don't care? Then they drive themselves to the downtown hospital because they don't want to inconvenience you even after you made the arrangements to take them? Then its twice as hard to pick them up because you have to bring someone with you pick up their car and take it back to their house, then have someone take you back to work so you can pick up your own car?

uugggg *pulling my hair out* and its only Monday.

Sunny Days Ahead

2006-01-06T14:35:00.000-06:00

After reading Al's Blog, I have to agree that I have been in a bit of a funk myself lately. Everyday I feel like crap, but I'm not sick. I have terrible headaches, dizziness, and nausea. For about two weeks, I was thinking that I was pregnant, but as of Wednesday, I'm not. The weather in Texas has been beautiful. Lots of sunshine and highs in the 70's. This weekend it will actually be in the 80's. Each beautiful day that passes, I sit here at my desk at work and watch the sun come up and the sun go down, having not stepped outside for any of it. My husband begs me to come straight home and get outside and walk the dog, hoping that it will do me some good. This weekend, after we take down the Christmas decorations, I plan on sitting in the back yard to soak up the sun. I'm hoping its what my body needs. Its easy for me to fall into depression, and my husband refuses to pull me out anymore. I'm in the mood for some fun, yet we are broke. January is such a tough month for a homeowner. Taxes and HOA fees are due, plus we bought a new car and the first payment is due on the 15th. I've never had a car payment this big, so its going to take some getting used to.

I rarely splurge on myself, however I have asked Hub to take me on a date tonight. We are going out to dinner and a movie. (Thankfully we have some gift cards to use, or else I wouldn't have asked). Ever since we got married, I took over all the financial responsibility (hence the depression). I've been very strict on both of us. I need to tell myself that it is okay to splurge every once in a while for the sake of our happiness.

It annoys me that something is wrong, I just dont know what it is yet. I need to take my sad little butt to church on Sunday, its the one thing that I can count on to do me some good.

Hope everyone has a great weekend. I'm hoping to come back on Monday with a suntan!

GO HORNS GO!

2006-01-05T08:31:00.000-06:00

Wow! What an exciting game last night. The University of Texas defeated Southern California for the National Championship, and I must say, I had my doubts because UT had fumbled the ball about 4 times, but all I can say is that Vince Young was amazing and played the game until the very end...literally the last few seconds to get the win. My husband and I were screaming so loud that all the animals ran out of the bedroom last night, tails tucked. I am very proud of my school and would just love to be walking around campus today. Today is a great day in TEXAS!

HOOK 'EM HORNS!

Stuffed with Meat

2006-01-03T14:12:00.000-06:00

I am amazed at how people in this country eat their food. Frankly its disgusting and makes me want to fall into starvation. I, like most of us, enjoy a good meal. Especially when its good 'ol southern cookin' at a great small town restaurant...Chicken Fried Steak is my favorite and if I want it bad enough, I might eat the whole thing, but usually get a to go box and eat the rest for lunch the next day. On our way home from Dallas on Sunday, we stopped at a restaurant called Sam's in Fairfield. For those of you who travel to Dallas, I definitely recommend it for a hot meal, and a much better alternative to fast food. They have an all you can eat buffet or you can order smaller portions off the menu. As we were sitting at the table waiting for our food, I noticed a woman eating alone at the table next to ours. She had a rather large plate of food in front of her, but managed to devour all that was on it. She got up for her second helping of food off the buffet. She came back to the table with a plate full of meat. I thought, how can that woman put away so much food. As she sat there eating forks full of meat, she would stop, open up a napkin, look around, and wrap the large piece of chicken in a napkin and stuff it in her purse. I sat there with my jaw dropped open. How strange is that to stuff meat in your purse. Then she did it again with a large steak, wrapped it in a napkin and suffed it in her purse. Now all that was left on her plate was two large hunks of meatloaf. Can you guess what she did with those? Stuffed them in her purse too. By now, I just cant believe what I was seeing. I told my mom and grandmother who were sitting with me at the table. We all watched in horror at this woman stuffing meat in her purse. My mom said she must be taking them home to her son or something. I mentioned that maybe her husband was too sick to get out of bed, and my mom snaps back, "because he is too fat to get out of bed". You would think that this women was finished, but no, she goes back for a huge helping of pie. As she paid for her "buffet for one" she asked the waitress for a small bowl to go so she could take home some fruit off the buffet. The waitress told her that it would be a $6.00 charge, so she declined. I'm surprised she didn't just walk up to the buffet, purse wide open and start spooning large servings of fruit into the pad pocket. (where else could it go)

I cant believe that someone would find it acceptable to steal meat off of the buffet like that. At least pay for a large to go container and leave with your dignity nicely wrapped up in a to go bag that says "Thank You".

Hustle and Bustle

2006-01-03T14:08:00.000-06:00

I hope everyone enjoyed their holidays! Mine was nice, but went by so quickly. We had over a week off from work, but the time flew. I guess its been busy for everyone. I had a friend get married and another is due to have her baby this week. I'm so excited for them and want to send rich blessings their way.

Now its back to what I'm hoping will be a more normal and quiet year for us.

F*cking Fed Ex

2005-12-29T10:34:00.000-06:00

I'm very angry with Fed Ex today. They have had one of my packges in Houston for over 7 days now and still have not delivered it to my house. My husband has been begging for a nice pocket knife, and I bought him one from LL Bean for Christmas. It should have arrived at our house on Dec. 22nd, but Fed Ex says I'll have it by tomorrow, Dec. 30. That's a shame because we are leaving town tonight for Dallas and we will be gone for the next 5 days. Its a good thing LL Bean doesnt charge for shipping.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

2005-12-23T08:48:00.000-06:00

I would like to wish each and every one of you a very Merry Christmas and a safe Happy New Year.

We will be spending Christmas Eve with my family, Christmas morning at our home, and Christmas Day with my husbands family. Whew...that's a lot of driving. I'm looking forward to spending time with each and every one of them. Next week, my husband and I will be traveling to Dallas to stay with my brother for a few days. I will be spending New Years with them while my husband goes hunting. Stupid deer.

Wishing you all the best in the New Year!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HALEY

Our little girl is turning 7 today and in dog years that's 49!
We hope you have many more with us my little pumpkin.

Lack of Sleep Could Lead to Lack of Pets

2005-12-21T14:47:00.000-06:00

Our pets are driving us crazy...Especially me since I'm the one who lays awake at night and hears everything that is going on.

Yesterday was a very good day overall. I got my bonus and it was more than I ever expected, and we had a nice Christmas dinner with my husband's company, but things took a turn for the worst after we went to bed.

12:00 Midnight- We went to sleep.
12:30 am - My cell phone is ringing. I walk to the kitchen to answer it and its the wrong number.
2:00 am - Wake up Hubby because his snoring is annoying me.
4:20 am - The dog is panting, which is a signal for one thing, she has diarrhea. I get up to let her outside and wait for her to poop.
4:25 am - Let the dog in and go back to bed
4:26 am - I just closed my eyes when I hear, blakkkkk. Dog vomits on the carpet.
4:27 am - FUCK!
4:28 am - Looking for Reslove carpet cleaner, trash can, and paper towels.
4:29 am - Wake up Husband because I've had enough and told him to clean up the vomit.
4:30 am - Dog sleeps the rest of the night outside (which is her first time in 7 years).
4:45 am - Go back to sleep

Last week I woke up during the night because I was hot. I stuck my foot out of the covers only to find that I stuck it in something wet on top of the comforter. I get up, turn on the light, and smell the liquid. Cat piss. I had to wash my feet in the tub, pull off the comforter and find another one to place on the bed. I rubbed the cats nose it and tossed her outside. Again, I don't know why she does things like this. The vet says she is angry about something, but the whole time I'm punishing her, she's purring. The next day I sat at the Laundry Mat for 2 1/2 hours washing my comforter in the oversized washer and dryer.

I don't get rid of animals because I believe they are family, good or bad, we deal with their issues. We don't have children so I guess we can put up with the animal's shit...Literally. I just feel like they are out of control and ruining my sleep and my house. I'm working with the cat on making her an outdoor kitty. I worry so much about her when she is outside, but this may be our only option. The dog is treated so much like a child and when she is not feeling well, we deal with it. I just hate to be sleep deprived.

Stuffed like a Fat Pig

2005-12-20T08:40:00.000-06:00

Today is somewhat of an exciting day, and I'm finding myself to be a little nervous.

Not to worry though, at least I know where my next meal will be coming from. Today our office building is hosting a breakfast for all the tenants, my company is taking us for steaks today for lunch, and my husbands company Christmas dinner is tonight. I'm going to have to roll myself home today. At least I remembered to wear the pants that are too big on me. I'm sure they will be snug by this evening.

Today is also the day that our boss flies in to hand us our end of the year bonus checks. I'm hoping (okay praying) that its going to be a big one. Doesn't matter that the money is already spent. Stupid Home Owners Association. Those people are just plain crooks!
We have been hearing rumors that our office will be receiving two bonus checks this Christmas. I'm hoping that rumor is true...we sure could use a little holiday cheer in our checking account. My husband's truck needs 4 new tires, which is going to cost around $700.00. So again, that check will be spent too, but hey, I'll do anything to keep hubby rolling around town in a safe truck. If I do happen to get that second year end bonus, then that will be the third bonus in a row spent on tires! Damn, growing up just isn't fun anymore. A bonus is a reward for doing a great job, a way to express appreciation, and we have to use it to pay for stupid shit. Discount Tire can suck a fat one this year!

Filet Minion...here I come!

THE NIGHT OF THE ROSE BOWL

2005-12-19T11:07:00.000-06:00

T'was the night of the Rose Bowl and all through the land; All the Longhorns were stirring, even the band.
The tickets were purchased for the game, room, and air; In hopes that "Saint Vincent" would soon be there!!
The fans were tailgating from their truck beds; While a vision of a championship danced in their heads.
And Bevo in his bridle, and me in my cap; Had just popped a cold one before the first snap.
When out on the turf there arose such a clatter; I sprang to my feet to see what was the matter!!
My eyes fixed on the tunnel, and the thundering herd; The roar of the fight song; I sang every word!!
They ran to the end zone, and knelt to their maker; Giving thanks for TEXAS, and the victory later!!
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear; Coach Mack in his glory, "THE HEAD COACH OF THE YEAR"!
And our hero from Houston that I haven't seen since; I knew in a moment it must be "Saint Vince"!
More rapid than eagles his posse they came; And he whistled and shouted and called them by name!
Now, THOMAS! Now, TAYLOR! Now, PITTMAN and SWEED; On, CHARLES! On, GRIFFIN! ROSS, HUFF and McGEE!
To the top of the world for a championship crown; Now dash away, dash away, to a TEXAS touchdown!
They fought with fury! They fought with might; They fought like champions on this championship night!
Oh! The bombs they flew, and the holes blew open; The Longhorns ran the ball just as we were hop'in.
The defense attacked, and oh, they played hard; Stopping the Trojans, in their own back yard!
Mack's eyes how they twinkled, his dimples, how merry; His cheeks were like roses, the "crystal ball" he did carry!
He embraced his coaches, he embraced his team; And "The Eyes of TEXAS" we all did sing.
A season that will live forever in lore; COME EARLY, WEAR ORANGE, STAY LATE, once more!
MERRY CHRISTMAS, TEXAS!! HOOK 'EM HORNS

Thanks Jazzy!

I'm Ready For Another One...

2005-12-15T10:16:00.000-06:00

Last night, I begged my husband for one of these, and of course he said absolutely not.
I did try, but after walking out of my bedroom this morning and seeing the brown skid mark across the carpet from Haley scooting, I remembered why Aaron said No in the first place.

Internet Shopping

2005-12-13T10:03:00.000-06:00

I've decided this year to do the majority of my Christmas shopping on the internet. Most companies are offering free shipping, and most of the time you can save on the tax too. It just makes it so easy for a person who doesn't really have the time or the patience to get out to the malls and get it all done. I cant believe there is only one more weekend to shop. My husband is the worst shopper in the world. He despises the malls and the crowds. This year, I made him a list of all the things I wanted from Santa, including the website address and sku number. How much easier can I make it for him? Usually he just drives me up to the mall and we buy whatever I pick out. Not much fun, but I still get what I want.

Last year Christmas was terrible. I was so disappointed with my gifts. We had decided on getting each other a few gifts each because we had just moved into our brand new house. My husband got me a Mixmaster Mixer from Wal-Mart, which I HATE, and what I like to call a fat moo-moo shirt from Wal-Mart too. That's it! That was all I got. First of all, we were still registered at Linens N' Things for the Housewarming...and I had a Kitchen Aid mixer listed that I've wanted since I graduated High School. And the shirt...let me explain the shirt. It was a red t-shirt with puppies and kittens on it. He said it was for me to sleep in. The size was a large, but he got it in the "Womens" department of Wal-Mart (which is for larger women). Someone of my size would shop in the "Misses" department of Wal-Mart. I know this because Yes, sometimes I buy clothes at Wal-Mart. I opened up this red tent and thought, you have got to be kidding me!

This year I've made sure to rub it all back in his face about the tent I had to return, which meant I only got one sucky gift for Christmas last year. This year I had suggested that we forgo all gift giving, since everyone was so generous for our wedding, and give gifts to the poor. My husband was not all that enthusiastic about the idea. I'll still do my usual, choose two elderly men from the Salvation Army tree in the mall (in remembrance of my two grandfathers).

What was your worst/favorite gift?

Slipping Away

2005-12-08T14:53:00.000-06:00

My husband and I are trying to buy or lease a new vehicle and thus far, its been nothing but a nightmare. These people really know how to make you feel like shit about yourself. I've been down for two days now and the kicking still continues. One dealer completely wronged us, we couldn't believe it. A friend of mine gave me a great reference to a different Nissan dealership...you know, so we could do business with a friend of a friend. So far, the guy has been amazing and wonderful to work with over the phone. My husband and I will be working with him this evening on getting a new SUV. We are damn dedicated to finding a new car if we look when its 20 degrees outside, not to mention that its Thursday night and we will be missing Survivor, Smallville, Apprentice, CSI, and ER. TiVO has a busy night ahead.

I told him how we were treated by the other dealership, which only unraveled all the lies we were told. Hopefully things will go better this evening. I know its hell on everyone to buy a new car, even when you have perfect credit. Hubby and I don't have great credit right now. Its not bad, but its not good either. After we bought the house we filled it with many nice things, my husband bought a dirt bike, which he is now going to sell, and we maxed out a few credit cards to pay for our wedding, okay more than a few. I'm telling you though, these people really know how to make you feel like shit. I feel like I'm walking around with this sign on my forehead that says "Caution...a financial ticking time bomb" "Keep Clear".

I'm not proud about how we got there, material things don't mean shit to me, but I will not settle on a car and pay for it for the next 60 months if its not exactly what I want. I may be snobby, and a little demanding, but I also want what is best for me, my husband, and our future family (when we decide to have little snobs running around).

At times like these, I dont pray for the car, I pray for strength, strength to survive the blood sucking car salesman, and knowing in my heart that God makes me good, not my credit score.

Cashed Out On Tires, YO!

2005-12-08T13:07:00.000-06:00

These flippin tires on my car...you know, I buy the most expensive because I want the best performance and lately, it just doesn't seem to be working out that way.

A few months ago you may remember reading about what happened to me in Huntsville with the blown tire and all. Well, yesterday my brand new tire was going flat because of piece of metal wire that punctured the tire. I immediately took the car in to have the tire repaired. While the man was looking at the damaged tire, he looked at my back tires and said they were starting to look pretty bad too. They were wearing improperly since they used to be on the front of the car, and the tread on the side was all the way down to the metal wall.

I've spent my last two bonuses on tires, and that would make these tires only a year old. It was going to cost me another $250 for 2 new tires. I called my husband and he said, "don't buy a thing, we'll just get rid of the car today". Good, I'm ready for a new car. I'm sick of dropping money on such a stupid thing as tires.

Are new tires necessary? Yes.
Every year? I don't think so.

I'm off to find a new SUV.

Stuck With A Difficult Choice To Make

2005-12-05T15:43:00.000-06:00

For some time now, I have been really unhappy with my job. Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of people out there who probably wish they were in my position, but for an over achiever like me, its left me unhappy, under utilized, and frankly bored to death.

A few years ago I worked at a hotel where I was thrown so many opportunities and difficult positions that my patience was tested on a daily basis.

Assistant to the VP of Operations (Who most would say is the most difficult man to work with, but I found him to be an amazing person and a great mentor.)
Assistant to the General Manager (person above was promoted as was I with no extra pay)
Activities Assistant-basically babysitting a staff of HS kids at the new pool and solving every other emergency that occurred out there on every weekend and holiday.
Hotel Assistant Manager-basically pretending to care about our guests problems and everyone else's, while being managed by a work-a-holic, again every weekend and holiday.

I quit because of the long hours and I could not stand the girl I had to work under. I used to go home crying or complaining almost every night.

I was offered a job where I am today. I've always been happy here, but for over a year our progress has moved at the pace of a snail and I just cant stand coming to work. Last week, I didn't even feel bad calling in sick because I knew that there was nothing to do. Here is my dilemma. I make great money, great bonuses twice a year, 3 weeks of vacation, annual raises, no stress, no late nights, no weekends, a business trip every now and then (usually to Dallas and I get to stay with my brother and his family), flexible hours if need be, absolutely no office drama or politics (i.e. no women work here), 20 minute commute, an hour for lunch, free condo use in Lake Tahoe,NV, Destin, FL, or Monterey, CA.

Okay, here is the bad part. Its slow...and I mean really slow. The phone might not ring for 6 hours straight. I do work when I receive it, which might be days or weeks apart. I have fallen asleep at my desk quite a few times because often I am alone in my office. I feel like I'm wasting away all of my skills, all the skills I worked so hard in college to achieve. My position is dead end, no chance of promotion. If I am going to look for another job, I don't know where to look or what I want to do. I just feel so stuck. Working here would be a great opportunity for me to go back to school because I would have a lot of extra time to study, but they are not going to pay for it because someone working in my position doesn't even need a degree, let alone a Masters.

Even my husband makes cuts at me, like I don't work, therefore I shouldn't be tired or whatever...and I make more money hourly than he does. I just want to be challenged. I like working under deadlines and pressure. I like thinking creatively. Of all the places I would like to work, none of them are in here in Texas, so basically I just count those out. I just dont know if I want to trade in the good life, or better yet "easy street" for something that might kick my ass in the end. Maybe a good ass kicking is what I need right now.

Such a HOTTIE

2005-11-30T16:00:00.000-06:00

Ummmmm...Jake Gyllenhaal.

I just want to slap him on a plate and sop him up with a biscut.

I would love to post a picture of him, but I dont know how since it may be classified as "stealing" from another website.

So, I go here to get a look at me some Jakey!

Today I Give Thanks...

2005-11-28T15:05:00.000-06:00

For the 10 lbs I feel I have gained over the Thanksgiving break
For the large zit next to my nose that wont pop after 3 hot showers
For my boring ass job
For the sore throat that just wont go away
For car shopping when nothing looks appealing
For my husband, who told me to pick up my clothes
For my cat, who is still pissing on the rugs
For my dog, who cant shake the ear infection no matter how many times I clean it
For the dishes, my God, the never ending Thanksgiving dishes
For the Christmas Tree still in its box
For the Thank you notes that still have to be written from 2 months ago
For my 3 inch grown out highlights
For all those creditors who like to make it impossible for me to change my name
For Christmas shopping at the last possible moment because I'll have to pay cash this year

What are you "Thankful" for?

Math for Food!

2005-11-23T12:31:00.000-06:00

I am in no way a math dork, in fact, I don't even know all of my multiplication tables, but I do enjoy figuring equations only if the end result is for something fun or real. For instance, back in grade school when the teacher assigned us all even numbered problems 2-200 in our math book, figuring all the answers wasn't any fun because I don't enjoy sitting at the kitchen table all night crying because I couldn't multiply, and unfortunately the odd numbered problems are answered in the back of the book. Hence, I failed almost every math class I ever took. But that doesnt prove anything because so did my sister-in-law, and guess what subject she is teaching....that's right MATH!

Today, however our building is having a contest of who can guess the correct number of M&M's in the pumpkin jar. It has a mixture of both regular and peanut. Since I work in construction, and we use equations all day, more so geometry than algebra, we thought it would be fun to figure out this little doozie, after all, the prizes are for food. Each person in the office got to turn in a guess. Our closest guess, according to our calculations was 1,960 M&M's. Since 4 of us got to guess...we turned in 1960, 1985, 2000, and 2200.

I'll let you know if we win!

What is it with Golf?

2005-11-22T10:16:00.000-06:00

My husband golfed for 7 hours on Sunday while I cleaned to the house to get it prepared for our 15 guests coming for dinner on Thursday, and he wants to know why I am pissed.

Playing House

2005-11-18T15:30:00.000-06:00

I'm so excited that my nephew is coming to town this weekend for the Thanksgiving holiday. My brother and his wife are taking a vacation to San Diego. My mom is keeping the baby most of the week, but over the Thanksgiving break, my husband and I are begging to keep him. It will be so much fun, the two of us trying to entertain a baby and changing diapers. We are both looking forward to having him here in Houston. Its not often that my husband gets to play with his little nephew, but he is getting more and more comfortable with this baby thing the more times he gets to see and hold him. It was really funny to watch the first time he held him. My husband thought he was going to break! Relax honey, you will be great. I told him to just pretend that the kid is a football...c'mon, he would never drop a football. Besides, they both have one thing in common, gas. That kid rips 'em so loud that people turn and think it was you.

I on the other hand used to be really good with kids, especially babies. Now, I get a little un-easy. I'm such a perfectionist and if I cant seem to make the kid happy, well then I must be doing something horribly wrong. Plus, I cant stand all that drool. Poor kids face will be chapped from me wiping his mouth so much. I cant wait until he gets a little older and we can spoil the pants off that kid. He is such a good little guy.

We welcome your baby advice!

Huntsville Sucks!

2005-11-14T13:08:00.000-06:00

Sorry for the delay in posts here, I had to take a short business trip up to Dallas and then I spent the weekend with my family and best friend. Getting to and from Dallas was one big nightmare. My boss offered to fly me up, but I decided to drive so I could have a car for the weekend to go back and forth between my brother's house and my friends hotel. Driving turned out to be a huge mistake. More on that later.

The whole week was full of things to do. When I arrived in Dallas, Nan and I went dress shopping for a Gala we were attending on Saturday night. I had to work Thursday and Friday. I spent Thursday and Friday night with my brother and his family, (who have the most adorable kid in the world). Then Saturday night again with Nan. I got all dressed up for the Gala. Everyone loved my new dress...it was super cute! Gala was a lot of fun. I consumed a massive amount of alcohol on an empty stomach because those crazy people from NY don't eat dinner until 9:00 p.m. Lets get something straight here, in TX dinner is no later than 6:00 p.m. and if you want Luby's, you go at 4:00.

Nan was kind enough to introduce me to the Commissioner and I also got to meet Lamar Hunt, owner of the Kansas City Chiefs. I only wanted to meet him for the sole purpose of making my husband extremely jealous, and I succeeded. I got a picture with him, just so I can rub it in his face. Can you tell that my husband and I are very competitive with each other?

Nan and I partied until 4:30 in the morning! I couldn't stand it any more, I was tired and gassy and all I wanted to do was go back to the room, be silly drunk girls, and pass out which is exactly what we did. Sunday I attended my first ever MLS game. It was fun, but I had to leave early to make the 4 hour drive back home to Houston.

The drive home sucked more than ever! I was North of Huntsville when my back tire blew out. I knew it as soon as I heard it. Its happened to me before on the way to Dallas, and I was thinking...OMG not now. Its dark, and the FEDERAL PRISON is only a 1/2 mile away. So I pull over and creep the car up the first mile marker I could see. Thankfully, my Dad pays for me to have AAA for reasons such as these. I'm still an hour from home. AAA says it will be an hour until a wrecker can get to me. I had to pee worst than any other time in my life, but its not something you want to do when the 18-wheelers are blowing by you at 80 mph. I sit in my car and wait, all the while talking to my husband on the cell phone. It was a shame that he didn't try to make me feel better about the situation. All I got was,

"Did you ask your brother to check your tire pressure for you before you left like I asked you to"?

"No"

"This is what happens when you don't check your tires".

"You cant blame this on me. How do you know I didn't hit something? I did run over something that was a ways back".

"What was it"?

"I don't know because I was going like 95 mph and never had a chance to see it".

"Stop being in such a rush all the time".

We passed the time by arguing over why I got the flat tire and whose fault it was. I win because it was his fault for not maintaining the car in the first place. So I got my tired changed and was getting in the car to leave when it wouldn't start. Dead battery. Poor driver had to get out again and give me a jump. He must have thought I was the biggest idiot ever. My husband laughs because anyone should know that you cant sit in the car with the lights and hazards on for over and hour and expect the car to start again. In my defense, let me clarify that I was NEAR THE PRISON and very scared!

Shortly after I got back on the road, I called my husband again to let him know that I'm on my way, but I would be a while because I cant drive over 55 mph with the donut tire. As I was talking, I noticed this red Saturn pull right up on my ass and he started flashing his brights. I'm telling my husband what an ass whole this guy is behind me. I'm in the right lane buddy, go around and pass me in the left lane just like everyone else, that is what its for. So as this red Saturn whips around me, he gets right up next to me and starts swerving his car into my lane until he runs me completely off the road. By now, I'm screaming and I'm scared. My poor husband is on the other end listening to me freak out. Ummm...must I mention again that right now I'm passing the PRISON. Then red Saturn speeds off ahead of me. I cried the entire hour home from Huntsville, still needing to pee. The four hour drive turned into six.

Watch out Red Saturn...my husband is looking for you, and oh yes, he loves his guns.
HUNTSVILLE HICKS SUCK!

My Worst Nightmare

2005-11-08T13:56:00.000-06:00

Ever since I got married (which is less than two months ago), I have been having these awful dreams or should I say nightmares about my husband leaving me. Last night was the third time I have dreamt this. Each dream is different, but the outcome is same, he leaves me for good.

In the first two, he left me at our wedding. I remember waking up crying. I was actually sitting up in the bed crying, while still asleep. That has never happened to me before. I am a very light sleeper, even a power outage will wake me up. I remember that he married me, and then he ditched our reception to go and hang out with his buddies. When I called his cell, his best friend answered and said, "What more do you want! He married you for God's sakes." Something similar happened in the second dream, but I cant really remember all the details.

Last night, I dreamt that he never came home. I called him for days and days and never got through. Finally, he answered and he told me that he joined the military and is living on a base somewhere and would never be coming back home. Our marriage was over, just like that. I woke up soaking wet in sweat and I rolled over and just hugged my husband for at least an hour.

I wonder if these dreams actually mean anything at all. My husband says its just a bad dream and nothing more. But some times I think that I may be dreaming about my worst fear in life. Ever since we got married I have changed into this totally insecure person and I'm terrified that my husband will cheat or leave me, two things he has never done in the eight years that we have been together. I wish I could just be happy. I got what I wanted and that was to get married and now I fear it so much. I fear getting hurt. I cant keep feeling like this. Its too much stress and my husband doesn't deserve it. He married a strong, independent women. I just don't know where she is right now.

Miss-Quoted

2005-11-04T14:22:00.000-06:00

My boss and I were talking about vacations and I told him that I hate how my husband packs his suite case, so I usually do the packing for him. Then I said, "I am an anal packer". He just lookes at me and starts laughing. He thinks I should re-phrase the statement.

I've Got A Beef With Subway

2005-11-04T13:18:00.000-06:00

Going out to lunch is a treat for me because its not something that I do very often. I usually try to eat something very healthy, unless I'm stressed or pissed and then its all down hill from there.

Here in Texas, we have a lot of Mexicans that call Houston home. They take a lot of the jobs that us regular 'ol white folk would never do, especially in the food and restaurant industry. There are two Subway restaurants near where I work and both of them only employ Mexican "non English speaking" individuals. So today I went out for my usual Turkey sub.

I told the girl, "Six inch Turkey on White". She looks at her co-worker next to her like, WTF did she say? So the co-worker, who understands a little bit of English repeats back to her my order in Spanish. She begins making me a tuna sub. As she proceeds down the condiment line, I politely as her, "Is that for me, because I ordered Turkey". She says, "No, you ordered Tuna". I roll my eyes, "No, I said Turkey". Maybe next time I'll order the damn thing in Japanese. She actually starts scraping the tuna off the bread and begins to make it in Turkey. "No, No, No, I want new bread now". Is she kidding me with this shit. I'm starting to lose my patience. She begins to make my now corrected Turkey sub. We move down the condiment and line and I tell her that I want everything on it except for Jalapenos. Again, she has to look at her co-worker to translate what I just said. Now I'm laughing, because as she loads up the bread, she actually starts putting on the condiments for the Subway Salad as well. My turkey sandwich was made all the way, including spinach leaves and carrot sticks. For those of you who like carrot sticks on your turkey sub, please say "I". Why don't people just stick to what they are good at, Americans working in American food restaurants and Mexicans working in Mexican food restaurants, that way everybody gets it right.

Bad Kitty...Okay, she cant help it

2005-11-03T12:54:00.000-06:00

So as I didn't mention above, we have a cat too. Her name is Sophie. The dog is more like our child and the cat, well she's just the cat. I love her too, she's a great kitty most of the time. She is very sweet and enjoys attention. She has never gotten mad and took a swipe or bit any of us. We took her in because we were fed a bullshit story by my husbands sister on how she was abandoned and she really needed a home. She was really in a box outside of Wal-Mart with a sign that said FREE, so his sister took her home to mom. My Mother-in-law wouldn't keep her and that was when my best friend Nan convinced us both to take her back to Austin and keep her. I'm sure it was a decision that will haunt my husband for the next 10-15 years.

Recently, I noticed she was peeing in odd places, on the bathroom rugs, dirty towels basket, husbands jeans, bathroom sink, my luggage, and she would do it all right in front of me. We keep her litter box very clean and I know she still uses it daily. I wanted to throw her out or take her to the pound. We just cant deal with this stuff going on in our new home. But, I am also a person who believes that when you get an animal, you made a life choice and you stick it out no matter how bad it gets. I mean, some of you have kids, and no matter how bad they are, you cant give them away or take them to the local shelter or drop them on the freeway. I see animals the same way, you take in the good and the bad.

Yesterday the peeing was getting more frequent and out of control and I started to see blood in the urine, a definite sign that something is wrong. This morning I took some time off work to take her to the vet. I couldn't believe what the vet was telling me. Something about how he read an article about cats who do this, and its a psychological problem rather than a physical problem. The cat may be stressed and that is the reason for the blood, I need to scoop the litter twice a day instead of the 2-3 per week...blah blah blah. Listen here mister, don't quote me someone's college thesis just because you found it to be interesting. I don't have a cat with psychological problems. She gets food when she cries, she sleeps all damn day and then plays all night long...she is a fat happy cat. Shoot her up with some drugs and send her home on bed rest.

They just called to tell me that they did get an abnormal urine sample. She's getting a shot and some antibiotics to treat whatever the heck this might be. I cant wait to pick her up and take her home where she is comfortable and can rest.

Poor Sophie, Mommy hopes you feel better baby. (yeah, now she's my kid again)

Got My Panties All Up In A Wad

2005-11-02T14:48:00.000-06:00

For those of you who like to read and laugh about embarrassing moments...I've got a pretty good one for ya.

A few months ago I was getting ready for work and running late, as usual. My office is about the same tempeture as a meat locker so I usually always have to grab a sweater or jacket on my way out. Well, my favorite black sweater needed a good wash because I wear it like everyday at work. These people must think that I have only one outfit. I grabbed it out of the dryer and threw it over my arm. I must have forgotten to use a dryer sheet because that damn sweater was shocking the shit out of me it had so much static built up in it. Houston is so hot that you would be crazy to wear a sweater outside, so I carried it into the office. As I walked through the door, some of my co-workers (all men) were in the hall visiting. I just said good morning and proceeded to walk past them to my desk. I placed my junk on my desk, including the black sweater. But something wasnt right. My sweater had a pair of big ass green flowered undies stuck right on the back, obvious for everyone to see! I was so embarrassed. What if I had put that sweater on?! I would have had green undies stuck to my back and never noticed. People, this is like walking out of the bathroom at the club with toilet paper stuck to your shoe. I dont tell people, I just point and laugh. I'm so embarrassed that all the men at work have seen my big green underware, and I'm talking granny panty, that time of the month underware. I guess I am fortuanate enough that my co-workers dont point and laugh at me like I would to them.

So let this be a lesson to all of you, use dryer sheets to prevent your panties from hanging off your back.

Happy Halloween

2005-10-28T11:20:00.000-05:00

I love the fall. I love Halloween and Thanksgiving more than any other Holiday. This year we plan to do the same as last, sit outside and hand out candy to the kids. I love to see all the little ones in their costumes.

I always end up carving at least 2 pumpkins just how Hub wants them...SCARY. They always turn out really nice and then I get to feel like Martha Stewart for a day, although her pumpkins can probably kick my pumkins ass.

Attaching a pumpkin for you all to practice on so you will be ready.

http://www.dragonlive.com/flash/pumpkinsim.swf

Also, a fun idea to give to co-workers is to buy those mini sandwich bags, fill them with mini marshmellows, and on the back of your business card write, "Ghost Poop" and place inside.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I Want to Sex You Up

2005-10-25T14:42:00.000-05:00

For about the last 5 months now I have been taking prescriptions to Sam's Club for refills because they are noticeably cheaper than any other drug store. I usually go to the one near where I work so that lame errands such as these can be taken care of during my lunch break. The problem is that the guy working in the pharmacy gives me those looks of, I want to rip your clothes off and throw you down on the counter. Its pretty damn annoying and its starting to creep me out. Last month he even offered to pay for my birth control pills. Ummm...No thanks, I think I can afford to pay for the damn pills. For all the men reading this, women don't mind getting looked at, sometimes it flatters us.

At a bar: Yes!
At a concert: Sure.
At the drug store when she getting birth control pills and pimple pills: No Thanks!

So to the Porto Rican at Sam's Club, please...please...stop undressing me with your eyes. Hence the big shiny new rock on my left finger!

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, All Rolled Into One

2005-10-24T14:34:00.000-05:00

Okay, so no ugly here, but Friday was the weirdest day ever! I was having a really good day and a really bad day all at once. My boss called and said he would fly me to Dallas for a meeting on Wednesday, which means I book my flight for Tuesday afternoon so I can spend some time with my Brother, his wife, and my darling Nephew all on the company dime.

During my lunch hour, I went to have my nails done. I had Solar nails put on for the wedding and decided not to keep them anymore, so I had them taken off and then decided to get a manicure so that my real nails wont look quite so bad. After the lady finished I wrote a check for $25.00. She brought the check back to me and said that Tele-Check had declined it. How effing embarrassing. I had over $500 in my account, so I used my debit card instead. I left so angry and ready to call Tele-check and give them a real ass chewin'. They said I had written 3 bad checks to Wal-Mart, $450 over the course of two days...well, I like Wal-Mart and all, but I do know my limit and its not that much. So I called Wal-Mart and the debts are not mine. They told me that my checking account was linked to a business account, not a personal account. All I had to do to clear the debt was go to any Wal-Mart store and ask any bright minded associate for a "Visual Verification". So I left work (a little early) and headed over to Wal-Mart. I asked 3 different managers for a "Visual Verification" and all I got was a deer in the headlights look. So much for getting that cleared up before the weekend. The good thing was that I did manage to find 2 Astros t-shirts for my husband and I to wear during the World Series.

I left Wal-Mart and decided to do my grocery shopping at HEB. I bought only a few things because I knew my paycheck was going to be spread thin this week. I walked out to my car, and began loading groceries into my trunk and what to my starry eyed surprise did I see laying on the ground, but a large gangster wad of cash, just sitting there waiting to be claimed. No one was around (I'm a good person and I looked) so I picked up the cash, put it in my pocket and left. Don't judge me here people...it was cash! If it was a credit card, check, or if I saw some one actually drop the cash, I would have done the right thing by turning it in or letting that person know they dropped their money, but this was cash, left unattended and the way I see it...Finders Keepers. Lucky for me it was $178 of pure irresponsibility laying on the ground. I know that I would have kicked myself if I lost that much money, but I also know that I'd be a fool to think that the money would have been turned in unless it was lost on the church parking lot. So, I did what any good person would do...I bought my best friend a really nice birthday gift.

A Baseball Dream

2005-10-20T10:35:00.000-05:00

With all the excitement floating around the Astros and the World Series, it makes me think about my husband and how he might be feeling right now. For most of his life, playing professional baseball was his dream, just as it is for so many young boys. He played well as a child and pitched most games in High School. His first big break was getting drafted by the Houston Astros out of High School. He didn't go, but decided to play college ball to increase his chances of getting a better draft pick and more baseball experience. He played for several colleges, but became injured and lost his scholarship. When I met him, he was working, and rehabilitating himself to get back into baseball. I've never seen him so determined. He worked out twice a day at the gym, ran for miles every afternoon in the Houston heat, and then threw pitches at the back of the Kroger grocery store wall onto a painted strike zone. The man had talent. He was a left handed closing pitcher and threw 93-94 miles per hour. It was amazing to watch his focus and determination. I've never seen a man who was so conditioned. He was so proud of his 4% body fat number and I didn't mind it either.

Shortly after, he was offered a chance to try out with the Anaheim Angels farm league. At his try outs, he threw so hard that he actually broke the catchers hand. Needless to say, he was offered to join the minor leagues. Shortly after I came home from my first semester in college, he left for Tyler, TX...a good four hour drive North of Houston. I couldn't believe his schedule, only two days off a month and they played all over Texas and Louisiana. I went to Tyler a few times to watch him play. Life was pretty good there. The team paid for his apartment, he didn't have to be up at the field until 3 p.m. each day where he would have a massage, some food, and practice. The games were at night and the team would usually go out for drinks afterwards and then back home again. The rest of the time was spent on a bus or in a cheap hotel. He pitched well, and his coach thought of him as the best pitcher in the league.

One evening I drove up to Tyler to watch him pitch a game. He was doing well, when I noticed that he began acting as though his elbow had a terrible pain. His pitches where landing in the dirt, well short of the plate. Something was terribly wrong and he came out of the game. That night I stayed with him. He was in a lot of pain all night and woke up with his hand swollen like a fat balloon. The team's trainers worked with him for a while, but eventually he was released and he came back home to me in Houston.

I know he is so happy for the Astros and even though he cant play, he will always remain a loyal fan of the game.

Congrats to the Houston Astros for making it to the World Series for the first time in franchise history! The first World Series Game is Saturday night, and unfortunately we will be attending a wedding and not watching the game.

Go Astros!
