FRRRRRRIDDDDAY.....ALL HALLLOWS EVE

Philadelphia is insane right now and i am no where near it THANK GOD! The trains stopped bringing people into the city around 1pm. Poor people who actually needed to go there. Insane people who are currently there. The lady on the news just said it's bringing everyone together including....babies? babies? WTH? I'll give you an overview of the parade...

One truck full of players.....a bus.....majestic....electronics.....1980....revitalization.....1980......30 people deep.....trains stopped......majestic........electronics....1980.


I swear they must have said 1980 and electronics at least 1000 times in the course of 3 hours. IF NOT MORE.

On the plus side going home for lunch took all of 8 minutes today b/c no one is here they are all in the city! Usually it takes 15-18 minutes to get home at lunch. Nice.

Ok i go bye bye now.

THURSDAY.

So a few things that are amusing me today:

Taking the shopping out of shopping: My honey bless his heart…was asking me last night on the phone to go on the computer and look for lamps. I said “where should I look?” He said “Target.” I said “well, why don’t we just go there!?” (Yeah this sounds kind of hole in the bucket but I swear it’s not) and he says “b/c then I will have to drive everywhere looking for a lamp and I don’t want to drive everywhere.” It made me sad b/c he is taking the shopping out of shopping and I LOVE SHOPPING!! But it also amused me b/c typical boy not wanting to shop but knowing he needs something.

People who don’t look EVERYWHERE: What I mean by this is people who are looking for say a file or their glasses. So they look in a few places then START freaking out because they weren’t able to find it in the 1st 5 minutes of looking. OR better yet they look in the most obscure out of way impossible places BEFORE looking in the obvious places 1st. SO instead they freak out look like a moron and then find it 20 minutes down the line in the place they should have looked 1st. example: Co-worker is looking for a piece of paper. She looks a little around her desk doesn’t find it. Then starts freaking out (rightful so b/c people were jumping down her throat…but nonetheless) looking in individual files in the other room. Hand writes out what should be on the sheet she is looking for….Only to THEN look in all the stuff on her desk to find the paper in a folder it should not be in BUT would likely end up in b/c it’s a lot sheet and it was with other lot sheets but for a different place.

Then we have the “don’t try everything 1st” people: This goes like I can’t print from word but I’ve only tried printing by pressing ctrl+P. I haven’t gone to file, Print. Or right clicked…or the few other things. WHY, why? Why don’t people exhaust every possibility before asking for help on simple things? I’m not talking your afraid you might mess something up. When you try everything you learn in my opinion not only that you don’t end up feeling like an ass b/c the answer was so simple! It goes back to the story of the idiot lady who went around asking people how to spell a word then declared that everyone was wrong and said “I’ll use the spell check.” DUH DO THAT 1st! WHY WAIT until you are now the moron for the day?

“Oy with the poodles already!”

Moving on: Yesterday the girls and I wanted to go to lunch together (we can’t do this often b/c one of us needs to stay behind and answer phones and greet people). So we get permission and we are headed out the door. The funny owner is walking out with us and we say “you want to go with us we’re going to the diner?” (Jokingly only cause yeah right you want to go with us) But he says “yeah I’ll drive.” We are walking out thinking he was joking and He is not. So we end up going to the Back to the 50’s restaurant he is always talking about. Of course through the course of everything he is saying funny stuff b/c that is what he does. Like…When the waiter says “what a lovely bunch of ladies you have with you today.” He looks around and goes “Where? Where do you see these ladies? I don’t see any.” Then on our table there is a picture of him and the other owner. My co-worker puts her elbow down and he says “You can elbow Mr. other owner in the face but please don’t do it to me.” Because her elbow happens to be covering the other owners face. Or how he says “I had to drive and Pay, I think I got the raw end of the bargain!” Meanwhile he won’t let us see the check.

It was fun. Ok I’ve typed enough….oh my fingers! Bye

Rain...no snow....no rain...wait Snow

Rain & Snow….what is going on? Pick one not both! And if it’s going to be snow make it thick so I can at least go boarding! What a tease you are Mother Nature! Big old tease! Not that I’m ready for snow…my winter stuff is still in the storage unit despite wanting to pick it up this weekend…we didn’t. And the shoveling! Who ever looks forward to the shoveling should be hit with a shovel! (Update: it’s sticking to the ground by ground I mean grass not roadway now! Freak’n snow!)

Last night was fun despite unruly jewelry and sick sissy poo. We had tortillas! I tried to make the 1st of 30 party favors but that didn’t work so well…try #2 will commence tonight. (Or tomorrow…) I still need to finish my dang blanket and my Halloween cards should be out today. I bought cute cards but lack of motivation has kept them in my possession for far too long, and it’s highly possible people will get these late….totally my fault but I tried! LOL I am really not doing well with getting stuff done!

Ok let’s take some time out to send good vibes my sick sister’s way! Let’s hope that her boss sends her home early and she can go home and sleep it off….as opposed to the walk it off she is attempting and failing to do. Sick is no fun.

Alright I’m done. Have a strange Tuesday on me.

Update I guess

So I have lots of things to talk about….hopefully….i mean I haven’t really posted in a while cause the sickness….lol

Last weekend remember how I told you I was going hiking in Jim Thorpe? Well that did not happen we hiked around to stores instead. Which is fine by me b/c I love shopping! However my dear friend did make the mistake of taking me to the evil place. I still feel unclean from the experience. But I forgive her b/c she meant well.

This past weekend I watched Maid of Honor which was a good movie. It was cute and funny. I had a pumpkin bagel with pumpkin cream cheese! YUMMMY! Then I hung out with my mom for like five seconds before we went to my aunts for dinner. My aunt made me happy belated b-day Mac & cheese! Yum! We played Dutch blitz which I rock at! We also played WAR which I rocked at….LOL as if you can rock at that. It’s all about chance. And the game could go on forever and ever! We had a lot of fun!! It was the best belated b-day dinner!!

Then Sunday….i….did……Not a darn thing! I have a hefty list of things I should do….but motivation and inspiration are lacking! So wow look at all that I had to write about….LOL

Ok I’m done….lunch is coming soon. (do I love food or what?)

To the Doctor



"I'm the Doctor, I'm the patient. Don't forget that it's important."




So i have been sick this week....not fun...i don't get to see my mom or my sissy. And even though i stayed home from work i didn't do anything b/c i felt like poo. I did do some work while home...i worked on matching paper work up and organizing it. Yippee....paper work....with one staple!




Did I even post about my weekend....Oh no i didn't....well my weekend was fun even if it was sleepless. I spent lots of time with my mom! I had a yummy salad with my friend. I carved pumpkins which i will post pictures of. At the moment my pumpkin is being eaten alive by animals of the night! poor dear.




OK i go now and try to make through the next hour....Doctor here i come!

Come ON Inspiration!!

Ok so i have NOT been able to write good descriptions for my moms AWESOME Jewelry Treats!! I am lacking the pictures I want!! AND Honey took his camera with him!! So i am going to make the creator and my aunt wear some JT's for photos tonight! (My aunt has a camera! HA!!)

I am going hiking tomorrow and I REALLY WISH I HAD A CAMERA! DANG IT!! Man I'm whinny! I blame it on the fact that i can't SLEEP with out my Honey! DANG NABIT! when did i become so reliant on another person?! I use to be able to sleep and good sleep not just sleep no matter what, when, where or how! I slept like a rock! Now i wake up to phantom rings and at hour intervals checking the clock! You know they tell you a lot of things about being in a relationship but they never tell you that you might lose the ability to sleep well!! Grrrrrrrrrr!

Plus i don't know what to do at lunch here is the story:
I am going Hiking so i bought hiking shoes last night (they were cheap) BUT the freaking lady left the security tag on my shoes! SOB!!
So for lunch should I:
1. go to EMS and look at their shoes (b/c at this point i feel like since i have to go back to the store to get the tag removed i might as well return the stupid shoes and say fuck off! so i would need another pair since i have sneakers that are NOT good for hiking!)
2. go home and get the shoes i bought and all my stuff together to stay the night at my moms tonight. Then on my way to my moms get the STUPID tag removed from the shoes?
3. Go fucking insane b/c i know i will need food somewhere in there!!!
4. Jump off a bridge that way i wont need food or SHOES with security tags on them!

I am at the end of my rope b/c SLEEP & GOOD FOOD are needed!! And i wont get sleep until Sunday night! Hopefully i get good food tonight but i have my doubts about that one!

PS Katie i am going to be at Jim Thorpe tomorrow......you stole my idea! (:o)

OK I am done (sorry i suckville suck today). Have a happy you got sleep Friday!

Vacation No more

"Back to life back to reality!"

Work is well you know how when you rip all the legs off a daddy long legger and their body still moves around? or like when a chicken gets it's head cut off it's body still runs around? Well i am the daddy long legger or the chicken!

Vacation was great! I had chicken parm w/ no sauce and cheese bread, 2 bean burritos, double broccoli pizza light on the sauce with ranch dressing, quesadilla with homemade chips and sour cream, ice cream, & a root beer float! Did i mention all the sweet tea i had which made my tummy ache but was still yummy! damn you sweet tea! I didn't get to have a yummy frozen coffeeish drink or a sweet tea slushie.

Besides eating i shopped! I got lots of good work clothes for cheap and i got by far the best thing EVER!!! A new double zip sweater! It's awesome i have been looking for double zip ever since i had to retire my old one. lovely! we got cheap yummy smelling candles! I looked and looked for my sis's gray yarn....i even went to the evil place no one has it!! Stupid missing yarn!

This is the part of the story that YOU dear SIS should skip (it's about animals). it will be in between the *s so you can start reading after the second line of *s.

*******************************************************************************
So Dan and i got ice cream at Maggie moos and we were sitting outside on the rocking chairs...eatting....enjoying the slow pace.....when a squirrel starts approaching us. He is sniffing and sniffing going crazy. And he is circling in and out from under Dan's chair....so I'm thinking he is smelling Dan's peanut butter ice cream with peanut butter sauce. So i put some on my finger and see if he will take it. He does he licks it off my finger! I give him more and he licks more! i had my finger with the ice cream out of his reach and he took his little paws and brought my finger to his mouth! IT WAS SO CUTE! but most people i tell this story to are horrified that i trusted him not to bite me.....but he looked nice enough.....


Then i got to see the doggies and the kitty i have been missing! I especially have been missing Crunchy the sweetest dog! She is a cutie pie!! I helped bring the doggies some treats b/c they are SO cute! And they were just lots of fun!
***********************************************************************************

We saw my old wonderful cute super fun and awesome boss! She is so nice! She is opening a second store so it's nice to see her doing well! I also saw my friend you know the ONE friend i made while i lived down south...well the one friend i made that i hung out with. She was super fun as always! And she is doing well with her job!

We saw Dan's mom & step dad and they made us a super yummy meal! They also enjoyed all the gifts we had been saving for them. I watched sleeping beauty at their house that was neat i hadn't seen that in forever! And they were very nice to be around! Dan's mom seems to be doing really well making friends through school and enjoying life more. OMG and she has awesome decorating skills! Really awesome! The rooms we use to live in amazing!

We didn't get to see Dan's FUN super FUN Grandma or his Doctor he use to work for. But maybe next time whenever that will be. We also didn't get to beach it at all b/c it was rainy all except for the day we were leaving! of course! O'well we still had a fun time!

So tonight i go to my moms! and i get to see my sis! FUN TIMES ahead...now i just need to figure out what i am going to have for dinner......OK i have typed enough...bye!

What are weekends for

No apartment for us. It all started falling apart for us Saturday night when we still had not signed the lease…and he did not seem to be getting to it anytime soon! How do you expect people to move when you don’t give them some type of security? I said if he is being like this about something that will benefit him how will he be about stuff we need done? So… no apartment for us.

Saturday I got my oil changed and ended up spending 200$ on replacing belts! But at least I can feel a little better about driving my car to NC this week. I spent a little time with my mom. We helped my Honey’s sister out. She’s been bed ridden with back problems. No fun! We had a yummy dinner at Panera….well just don’t get the black bean soup…gross. And then we went home.

Sunday I helped my sister clean her closet room. We had yummy Taco Loco for lunch! We also took pictures for the fall Jewelry Treats Etsy shop/ blog. And then I went home and cleaned some more of my stuff. I put all my yarn and crocheting stuff together in one bag! I worked some more on my never ending blanket.

I am happy & not happy about the not moving thing. I am happy from the perspective of less money i will be paying in rent. I am unhappy about it b/c no privacy. I hate being a animal at the zoo and that is what i have been for the past (almost) 2 1/2 years. Having to explain myself with any meal i eat at "home," having people analyze where i go and what i do, having people make comments about things i have said, or taking what i have said out of context, and just in general not having an escape when i get home.

My Honey claims that this isn't happening in the degree to which i feel and maybe some of it is worse in my head b/c i am a super sensitive person at times. It's frustrating b/c i sound ungrateful and that is not what i want to come out. I am grateful that we have been able to have free or cheap places to live. I just know there is always a price to be paid.

O'well Monday today....lets get through it! (only 3 days in this work week for me :o))

Thursday, October 2, 2008

Did that just happen?

Chocolate and Cheese Oh MY! What a yummy fun night! I LOVE the melting pot! THANK YOU SISTER!! Also shopping was super duper fun! My sister was saying how much she hates dogs. Like really, really hates them….and I said “well lets hope you never go blind and need a seeing eye dog!” Then she said “I would get a seeing eye robot……a Roomba! I’ll put it on a string!!” Now THAT is funny just imagine that! (feel free to doodle that!)
We still have yet to sign the lease for our apartment so I hesitate on celebrating too much. Yet I still envision the day my stuff will be out of storage….where I can sit in my living room and crochet an awesome project! Where when I clean something it stays clean for more then a day! I can’t wait!

Oh I forgot this funny honey story. Yesterday on my way to meet my sister I text messaged the honey asking him if he could get my things out of the dryer for me. So on my way home I call him and ask if he got my laundry out of the dryer for me. The following conversation happens:

ME: Did you get my laundry for me?
Him: Someone else did.
Me: How do you know?
Him: Someone else just did.
Me: Was it on the bed?
Him: Yes…
Me: No that would be the laundry I got out before….there’s still more in the dryer.
Him: Oh ok then the answer is No.
LOL so he got it out before I got home….He’s funny and cute.

So today at work I believe we are sweating out the PA Tax lady. Either that or someone realized that it’s colder in here then it is in a meat locker! But I think I will stand by the notion that they are sweating someone out. Also the one manager apparently is infamous for stealing calculators. The other day the girls were telling me he does this and that is why they hide theirs. (This was after we all claimed that ours is the best and everyone else’s sucks…..Really MINE is the best….but I move on.) So today apparently the calculator stealer struck….he took the owners calculator. Its funny b/c I gave the owner a new one and he still had to call the suspect and tell him he was a “calculator stealer!!”

Another funny work thing: My manager got a photo sent to him from a golf outing. He immediately threw it in the trash can. I said you’re just going to throw it away? And he said Yes. So I told his dad if he wanted to see a nice picture of his son it’s in the trash can in an envelope. So he goes and gets it and asks my manager where it is….can he see it….and he says (the manager/ son) “you see how fat I am everyday why do you need to see an awful picture of it?” LOL this was said after I almost said something bad. They were going back and fourth about how keep the chairs up and I almost said “lose weight….”

Oh to update…the other day I cleaned my closet & part of the mess near the closet! So I worked on one thing….it may have not been two things BUT it was one! Task managing here I come! (ok so I’m far away from that but whatever!)

Ok happy it's almost Friday which means it's almost the weekend Day!
