Highlights And Lowlifes, Pt 2...

So here it is. The last day of 2005. Crazy. It's funny how everything can change in the span of 12 months. I live a different life today, then I did one year ago. I am a different person today, then I was a year ago.

Well, diving in...Here are my top 5 moments/experiences of 2005.

1. And you open the door, and step inside - I lived a pretty sheltered life for awhile. I only ran with certain crowds, I would only talk to certain people, etc. Turns out I was missing out on a lot. I opened myself up to new people and experiences. As a result, I have gotten to know a wonderful group of people and have a beautifully diverse group of friends. Through that, I managed to experience a few things I might not have. Attend a few more parties, tried a few new things, dated a little even. I am so thankful that these people are a part of my life, and I don't think I tell them how much I appreciate their never-ending love. I am blessed with a wonderful family of friends. They are the only family I need most days. And I love each and everyone of them.
   
2. Now boarding Flight 27, Non-stop to Orlando - I took my first real vacation. I took it alone. Sort of. I set my mind to visit my friend Lani in Florida and I did it. I traveled alone, which was terrifying honestly, but I am so glad I did this. I saw/did so much when I was there. I met Mickey Mouse, saw in the ocean, relaxed my ass off. I came back a healthier person.
   
3. And nagging works - After throwing a royal piss fit with Godzilla, I was re-instated to my full-time status at work. I had been working full time since May and only receiving part-time benefits. By the time mid-September rolled around, I hit my limit. I felt cheated and misled, so I told them. And low and behold, less then a week later, I was pushed back to full-time.
   
4. A new life on the way - This is not something that is directly happening to me, but I am so happy it is happening. Mr and MrsGiggles are expecting their first child. The news of this brought such a smile to my face. They had some fertility concerns, and this was exactly the blessing they were hoping for. Aunt Juicy wishes them all the best and sends all her love.
   
5. Moving out - I finally released myself from a large portion of the hold my mother held unto me, by getting my own place. It's had it's ups and downs, hardships and good times, but it's been wonderful. I have a little less money (none) but I have a houseful of love, and sometimes that's all you need. I have 2 pretty wonderful people to keep me company and I couldn't ask for more.

The year was certainly an exciting one. I had lots of drama, some good, some bad. Some mine, some just took place in front of me. I am sure there are things I could change about the past year, but I wouldn't. They make me the person that sits here today, and I am growing a little more comfortable with her everyday.

I hope everyone has a truly wonderful New Year's Eve, surrounded by the people that mean the most to you. I wish you nothing but a absolutely blessed 2006.

All my love,
Juicy

I Will Miss...

...our 3 a.m. snack and chat.

Highlights And Lowlifes, Pt. One...

I hard a hard time with this actually. I couldn't narrow it down to my 5 lowest points of the year. I actually had a hard time coming up with 5 low points in general. I try not to dwell on the bad stuff. But once I started thinking about it....I couldn't stop it.

So here they are...in no particular order

1. Momma/Family drama - With the exception of Joe, my family is out to drive me insane. My mother in particular. She is the queen of guilt trips. And she knows how to play me. She pushes exactly the right buttons to get the response she wants when she wants it. But me not living at home is making that harder and harder for her everyday. And well, my little brother...some days I am glad we have different last names.
   
   
2. Savage Downsizing - My office was closed at work. I spent 9 months of the year working full-time hours and only getting part-time benefits and claiming unemployment. It could have been worse, I could have been denied unemployment benefits, but it was a major slap in the face.
   
   
3. Car issues - If it can happen to a car, it happened to me in 2005. I had transmissions fail, gas lines rust out, mufflers fall off, ran over a dog....I got a taste of it all.
   
   
4. Friend Drama - Wow. That's all I have to say there.
   
   
5. Cash Flow Issues - This has been the tightest year ever for me. But I am living the ramen noodle dream.

All The Cool Kids Are Doing It...

Well, it seems everyone is waxing nostalgic about 2005. Taking a look back, I will post my top 5 High and Low points in the next 2 days.

Today, I will cover the lows...get those out of the way.

Pick-Up Line Of The Week...

This week comes from real life.

"It's hot in here too, but only because I am thinking of you."

What is that?

I Do...Not?...

Ok. I live in Wisconsin. I HATE WINTER!!! I hate being cold. I hate driving in bad conditions. I hate shoveling. I hate trying to push a shopping cart through the Walmart parking lot after a fresh snow. I hate that everything is dead. Including this damn town. I hate scraping my windows. I hate that my gas mileage goes down.

And then the other side of me kicks in, telling me all the things I love about winter.

Yes, everything dies. But it's a beautiful way to die. And spring is wonderful.

Today, I got a really nice reminder.

I was dropping Xan off work work, and the most beautiful boy in the world walked in front of my car. He was all Abercrombie looking in his peacoat and scarf. But the hat....his knit hat....pushed me over and almost made my car forget it was going back to work.

*sigh* I love winter.

For the moment.

Lost Somewhere Between The Earth And The Sky...

*Really obscure song lyrics today...Good luck. It's from a scene in a movie that applies to my thoughts today.*

Went to Miss Hector's again last night. I am having fun getting to know this girl that I didn't know very well in high school. She is pretty swell. The night ended with me sitting in her bathroom and her attacking me with a pair of scissors. I haven't had a haircut in month. It's shorter then it's been in years. I love it.

I was so tired yesterday that I could barely function. I got a semi-solid 4 hours of sleep last night and am feeling a great deal better....but still not 100%.

The insomnia that plagued me in high school is back with a vengance. Some nights, sleep is just not something I can do. If I can't get this to break on my own...I will have to go back to the doctor.

Well, I am in trouble at work today, so I should look busy.

I Recommend Getting Your Heart Trampled On At Any Time...

I learned something on Christmas. Never attend a holiday at my mother's without alcohol.

If it weren't for my brotehr and his family...Christmas Eve would have been a wash too.

I'm Just Too Far From Where You Are...

I had such a good day! My christmas tree that has been trying to kill me was pitched out the door this afternoon. You see, I have pine pollen allergies. My tree began pollinating about 2 weeks ago. I just recently figured out why I couldn't breathe.

I had a nice long (well, a couple of hours) visit with MrsGiggles. I miss her so much some days and I needed that so damn bad. We did nothing. Just sat on the couch and chitchatted. It was marvelous. We talked about everything and nothing all at the same time. Whatever our little heart's desired.

School Teacher and husband stopped over tonight. They didn't have the chance to stay long, but brought homemade goodies. NUM. I can't wait for the holidays to be over. I am eating way too much crap. (says the girl munching on MrsGiggles leftover Taco Bell).

Xannikins asked me to come get him tonight. He has been at his mommy's in the next town over. And after 3 days at his mother's mercy, can anyone blame him for being ready to come home.

Home? Is this home for him? Home is such a relative term. Home is where your heart is, they say. If that's the case, home is not here. Home is a sunny beach in Cali.

WTF was I talking about? Oh yea, picking up Xan. I hoped in the car and cruised down the interstate to grab him in the next city over. I got Starbucks out of it. Heaven in a cup is this...Peppermint Mocha VENTI (we don't fool around). So I order it...and they looks at me...all out of peppermint. ACK!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I told the poor guy he ruined my whole night. He offered me instead a Chocolate Mint Mocha. No good. Didn't like it at all. Oh well. A little light shopping and we were home.

*This song title might be a tough one...I see Google in your future...*

Happy Birthday....

To the littlest of brothers. He is 21 today.

God help us.

Happy Holidays...

Ya, that about covers it.

Some Boys Kiss Me, Some Boys Hug Me...

It was Christmas again... I am the mostest spoiled girl in the world.

Wednesday was the Secret Santa exchange at work. I got this bad ass hot chocolate set and Sixteen Candles on DVD.

Thursday, my favoritest customer in the whole wide world got me the softest teddy bear I have ever touched.

Today my Secret Pal got me a crystal dolphin figurine and this bad assed Hello Kitty Christmas countdown thing.

Tonight Annie, Mack and I had our little gift exchange. She got me a case for my digital camera, an iPod dash holder, a window decal of Betty Boop, and EMPIRE RECORDS!!! Mack got me Pirates of the Carribbean. Kiki got me a Strawberry Daiquiri.

I am feeling the love in my house tonight. I am pretty spoiled.

I Got 99 Problems...

Everyone else on earth can log into myspace and I can't...

I'm bummed.

Tonight's The Night The World Begins Again...

I think I am just going to start posting song lyrics as titles every once in awhile as they apply to the post ahead. You mission is to figure out the song.

Last night had the makings to be something really relaxing for me. I was wrapping some presents, getting ready to make some cookies, listening to Jamie Cullum...All the elements to a great night.

Bradley showed up and asked me to contribute to his delinquency as a minor. Alright, no problem. While we were out making this run, I saw my friend Mimi walking down Main St. I turned around explaining to Bradley, that we had to pick her up to give her a ride. I couldn't find her, so we went on our merry way.

An hour later, Mimi was at my door. Crying and telling me that sob story that is her marriage.

Her husband Jay, is a complete twat. Drugs, unemployed, never home, controlling etc...You have heard this story a thousand times and probably even seen the Lifetime movie about it.

The truth of the matter is, she is a sweet girl. So sweet that she won't ever asking the man who is putting the lives of her children in danger, to leave. I was not in the mood to deal with all of this, because it breaks my heart to see the pain in her face. But I can't turn her away either. All I can do is hug her, give her the best advice I can and be her friend.

By 11, she was on her way home. A little drunker then she came, and I hope a little more at peace. It's emotionally draining to see her. The heartache in her eyes is deadly.

Not 10 minutes after she left, Bradley was on the way over. He needed more beer. So he and his drunk Ivy league friends all piled into my little car and we were off. I forgot how annoying a car load of drunk college kids really can be. After I restocked their beer supply and filled their little bellies with Taco Bell, I dumped them off at home.

I could hardly hold my eyes open to bake the cookies, but I got them done. I snuggled down on the couch with Xan to watch a quick episode of Roswell and it was off to bed.

Tonight Xan, Joe and I have been invited to dinner with the loverly Miss Hector. Not sure if we are going yet or not though, but it would be fun.

Pick-Up Line Of The Week...

Hey baby, wanna lock crotches and swap gravy?

Send The Paramadics...

Somewhere Labbie's head has exploded.

I just slathered Kiki's legs down with lotion in the teller line at work.

Bright Smiles, Warm Hearts...

Allow me to go all sappy for a minute.

The holidays have got me down. I have the funk (don't worry, I am not contagious). I haven't had a case of funk this bad in years.

This morning, a 5 year old little boy expelled the funk from my heart.

I was heading to work this morning. There are 52 bus stops between my office and apartment. (give or take 49). I am not ashamed to say that I exercise far more caution at one then the others. I have a vested interest in this one. It's my nephew's stop. I always slow way down there, am more aware there then any other place in town.

This morning was no exception. I was behind a car waiting to turn left. Anywhere else, I would have skated around the right side of the car and continued on my merry way. As I sat there waiting for the car, I looked over and saw my brother and his family there. My nephew was just waving away at me.

The smile on his face and the kiss he blew me....are exactly what my little downtrodden heart needed. Sometimes the smallest unexpected joys in life are all that you need.

Ribbit...

You are Kermit the Frog.
You are reliable, responsible and caring. And you
have a habit of waving your arms about
maniacally.

No We're Never Gonna Survive...

...Alright, song title?


The world has gone crazy. I just got off the phone with my mother, and these words were uttered.


"I will understand if you opt to spend Christmas Eve elsewhere."


What the hell is going on? Everything is all upside down. My mother has been abducted by pod people.

And You Open The Door, And Step Inside....

...We're inside our hearts now.... Name that movie ... Moving on to my point.

Mack, tonight, may have unlocked a door that he didn't even know exsisted.

He admitted to wanting to watch gay porn and having the urge to swing.

I am sad for Annie, I think. Not really, but still, I am not exactly sure what to do with this new information.

The Greatest Thing Ever...

One of my co-workers just said this...

"So, did you blow your wad yet?

And that's all I am going to say about that.

My Everest....

Friday night, my seester-in-law brought a cheesecake to my little Christmas party. Due to the large amounts of food, it went mostly untouched.

This pleased me. I thought...."Ahhh, more for me and the roomies." Teehee....I was in baked good heaven.

5 days later, I have discovered a few things along the way. Xan doesn't eat plain cheesecake and Annie only eats chocolate cheesecake. So it's all on me.

I gave a chunk away to Kiki and I am left with the BIGGEST cheesecake ever. I love cheesecake, I figure no problem.

I don't think I can do it. I might be freezing like 1/2 of it.

On the other hand, I feel challeneged by this. If I can do it...I can do anything.

It is my everest.

I am going to freeze it.

What A Letdown...

Your 80s Heartthrob Is

Jason Bateman

Who's" Your 80's Heartthrob?

Catalog Shopping....

I found the classiest things in the world today.

I figured after I get this for my windows, and this for my bed, and this for my new wardrobe....I figure that I will be the hottest girl in the trailer park.

Sweet Peanut of Seduction....

The Goo Goo Dolls just won an RMA (Radio Music Award) for Adult Hit Radio Artist of the Year.

That just made my night. Johnny Rzenick puts me in a happy place.

And by happy, I mean....wet.

Sweet Sweet Sunday...

Not a whole lot to say about Sunday, because not a whole lot happened. I slept. ALOT. ALOT ALOT ALOT. To the point the I didn't even become a functioning member of the world until around 3 in the afternoon.

Xan and I went out for dinner at one of the nicer dining establishments in town. What a let down that turned out to be. We both ordered the 'Pecan Crusted Chicken' because it sounded just fantastic. Turns out. We were so very wrong. It was the nastiest thing I have ever tried to eat. It was like sickeningly sweet. Not really what you are looking for in chicken.

Well, then it was off to The Fluff and Fold. I possibly had the most fun at the laundromat EVER last night. It's hard to describe so let me show you a picture of one event (yes, I even take my camera to the laundromat...you just never know).

That's right my friends. That is a fully grown man-child in a washer. It was the funniest thing I had ever seen in my entire life. And for $6, he could have been the cleanest man on earth.

Hard to top something like that, so the night ended pretty promptly after that.

How About That...

Saturday's post already. All caught up. And it's only 4.30 in the morning. Color me impressed.

Saturday was spent cleaning up from below mentioned party. My house looks damn good right now. All clean and sparkly from candles. Almost weird with all it's furniture back (I had to move a lot of it to accommodate the tables for dinner).

I did a little Christmas shopping, wrapped most of the gifts in the house, contributed to the delinquency of a minor, almost made Xan cry, and did a couple loads of laundry. Not really in that order thou.

Xan opened the one and only gift that has made it into his stocking. I made him a little photo album with some of the memories from the past 6 months. That when when (if?) he moves to Cali next month, he can take a piece of all if us with him. This made us both a little teary eyed and sad.

Then I went ahead and said something that I swore I wouldn't. I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't say anything that might possibly cast any shadow of negativity on the upcoming move. Tonight/Last night (depending on how you look at it) I opened my yap with out thinking and said something I instantly wish I hadn't.

"I am really going to hate it when you aren't here anymore."

Why did I say that? It instantly bummed us both out. I swore that I would be the one person who didn't give grief about this whole thing...And what did I do? I feel rotten about saying it. But...I am really going to miss him.

On the other hand, if happiness is Cali ... Safe travels, my friend. If someone has a chance to follow a dream and maybe make themselves happy along the way, I say go for it. No one else is going to make your dreams come true, gotta make it happen for yourselves.

I am getting used to friends leaving. I am getting much better at it. It looks like I am going to be adjusting to a whole lot of it coming up here. Annie and Mack are moving to Wausau. Xan's going to the West Coast. Meow and Mr. E are long gone. Kiki's thinking about moving to Chicago.

And the cheese stands alone.

BUT...Mr and MrsGiggles are moving back. So that makes me feel a lot less lonely. I can't wait to have them just a few miles down the freeway. Especially with them expecting, I can come visit right away after the baby is born. YAY!

Alright....It's quickly approaching 5 and I am finally getting droopy, sooooo.............

She Only Sleeps When It's Raining...

Music 101 boys and girls. Name that song. *game show music*

If you guessed Matchbox Twenty's 3 a.m., You have won this mornings prize. What do we have for them, Bob?

Well, you've won ... Friday's post.

I know. You are so overwhelmed.

Friday night I hosted my very first dinner party. I had about a dozen people. The night wass a blast. The food, the wine, the company, the wine, it was all wonderful. Did I mention there was wine? The evening was perfect. To be honest, the only thing I would have changed is that I wish Mr and MrsGiggles could have been there. Aside from that, the evening was wonderful. We had a little dinner, shared a few laughs, played a little Catch Phrase, and drank some wine.

The menu included:

• Turkey
• Stuffing
• Green Bean Casserole
• Corn Souffle' (sp)
• Fruit Salad
• Sausage Balls
• Rolls
• Cranberry Sauce
• Assorted Munchies
• Cheesecake
• Snowman Cake

Wines Consumed:

• Plum
• Reisling
• White Zin
• Merlot
• Lambrusco
• Pinot
  

I must admit that I have fallen in love with the Plum wine that Miss Hector brought. It was heavenly.

I can't wait to do it again next year. Hopefully by then, I will have a slightly larger house to host it in. Not that eating in the living room wasn't fun, it worked out well. But a dining room would be nice.

Squidgy...

Right this very second I am watching Constantine.

Keanu Reeves and Gavin Rossdale. I have never been happier then I am right now.

Looking Back...

As promised, I am here to report on my last couple of days.

Thursday turned into Christmas at my house. Xan and I ended up exchanging gifts for whatever reason. I imagine it had something to do with the fact that he could not control his glee over my gift. Now let me say, I can see why. I am the mostest spoiled girl in the whole wide world.

Would you like to see why I say this?


That's right boys and girls. I got an iPod Mini. My hearts one true desire became a material object this week. You see, I wanted a Mini so freaing bad last year, and had to settle for the Shuffle, due to finances. Now don't get me wrong, I love my Shuffle. It has/will serve(d) me well. I was heartbroken when Apple replaced the Mini with the Nano. The Nano is sooo very cool, but the Mini was my first love. So you can only imagine how ... I don't even know how to describe how I feel about it even now. I am moved. It's the coolest thing ever. I haven't really said thank you enough I think. So, I am going to get up right this second and go hug a sleeping Xan and tell him how thankful I am. Will you hang on a second? Of course you will.

Ok. I think I almost smothered him. Poor guy didn't even see it coming. I don't think people hear the words 'thank you' and 'I love you' enough. So I am going to make it a goal of mine to say it far more.

So that's my Thursday.

Promises, Promises, Promises....

I haven't blogged in days....I have alot to say.

Maybe later.

And Jelly...

So in the last few days, I have been cleaning my little heart out. I have come across a few food related ... issues, so to speak.

I found peanut butter in two very strange places.

• On my kitchen floor
• In a frying pan...in the cupboard

Today as I was wrapping gifts, I came across the 3rd instance (because ask my mom, these things come in 3's).

There is peanut butter on my scissors.

What in the hell happens here with the peanut butter? I am thankful for the small favors that it was creamy peanut butter.

But then the question must be asked...would I feel differently about the peanut butter episodes if it were chunky? I mean, I am so partial to the chunky, would I feel less bitter?

Stay tuned to see if the powers that be can answer the chunky/creamy dilemma for us.

Funny...

I am cleaning my house for my little dinner party I am having tomorrow night...

I suddenly am aware of how small my apartment is.

Pick-Up Line Thursday....

Have you ever played leap frog naked ??

It's A Revolution...

My little brother just hit a deer.

A Holiday Time Waster...

Try this out. If you are at work, be careful, there's sound.

Calling Into Active Duty...

Tonight we had a chance to see The Redneck Militia spring into action. But more about that in a second, let me give you the back story.

Living here in the northwoods, everyone in life must come to accept one fact.

YOU WILL HIT A DEER.

It happens to all of us at one time or another. We are outnumbered and they frequently over take the town. It will happen. Ask Mark, his first week back in WI, he nailed one.

That said, guess what my mom did tonight? That's right, deer. Well, everyone is fine. The car, well it's seen better days. The grill and passenger side headlight are gone, but it sounds worse then it looks. It seems to be leaking some fluid. In my vast car experience, I am ruling that it is not transmission fluid, anti freeze, or oil. But then again I am just a girl, and it was dark, so it really could have been anything. But cars get fixed.

So here's the real 'meat' of the story. By the time I met up with my mom, the troops had been called up.

As I sit here typing this The Redneck Militia (from here forward to be known as TRM), are stomping around in the woods, tracking said deer. It's mullets, busted up pick-ups, 40's of Milwaukee's Best, and flannel to the rescue!!! I picture these boys tromping around in the dark grunting, snorting, and reckonin' what they gonna go when they find that dern critter.

Ok, here's my take on it. Don't get me wrong, I love venison as much as the next northwoods kid, but come on. If it survives ripping the grill off a car, it deserves to be left alone to die on it's own terms.

I mean, what if it is some wierd alien hybrid of deer. Or what if this particular critter is set to star in it's own B- movie where it infects the entire town with CWD turning us all into zombies.

Ok, so I watch too many horror movies...

What's In Your Mailbox...

Back in August, you may recall (no, you don't, no one goes over there) Kiki posted over on The Vault about our one customer and his strange sounding relationship with his new girlfriend.

Well, as time went on, we thought about Pat and his situation less and less. Everyone once in awhile, he would regale us with a new chapter, but we always had our doubts about this "relationship".

Well, this week Joe was talking about a customer. And just something rang famliar to Kiki and myself.

Upon further investigation, your intrepid heroes (Kiki, Joe and Myself) have concluded it is infact, the same man.

Kiki and I were sitting around discussing this last night, and my brief history with Pat. You see, he and went to high school together. While we were both kind of exiles, even I was cooler then this guy. So we didn't exactly run in the same circles. We are social but hardly friends.

At the end of this conversation, Kiki looked at me and said, "You really are going to be the only single girl at your high school reunion."

At this time, I am currently accepting applications to replace my work friend.

Attack Of The Sniffles....

Why is it that the common cold is the worst possible sickness known to man?

Give me the flu and 12 hours to sleep and I am good.

Give me a head cold, and I think the world is ending.

Rumor Has It....

I feel like being deviant today. So I present to you this rumor for your spreading enjoyment.

Kiki is pregnant with Graham's love child.

The Happiest Girl In Nowhere....

That's right, I am the happiest girl in Nowhere!!!

Mr and MrsGiggles stopped over on their way through town. I was pretty excited when she called and said they were a few mintues away. I scurried about the house picking up a few things.

They presented me with what I was assuming was a Christmas present. I promptly scolded her for breaking our 'no Christmas gifts' rule. I was overjoyed when I unwrapped it to see a picture frame with a picture of a stork on it. The writing on the picture reads this...

"Reserved for Baby Giggles, Expected to arrive August 11, 2005."

I was confused at first by the date, which should be 2006, by all was quickly forgotten when it sunk in.

I am soo happy for them!! They have these concerns about conception/pregnancy, I am hopeful for them and hope to be there every step of the way (well, in spirit of course. I don't think MrGiggles is going to give up his spot in the delivery room).

It's amazing. A new little life preparing to enter the world. I couldn't be happier for them. These are people that I think the world of and hope that their every dream comes true.

Now what to buy them...

Welcoming A New Guest...

So Xan came to stay with us for a bit. Things were not going so well for him over at his place with his roommate so he is staying with us for awhile. And it's not even the roommate, it's the creepy girl he had staying with him. She came for a couple of days, a couple of days turned into weeks and she is still there. She seems perfectly nice. But there is just something very odd about her, that you just can't put your finger on.

So far it's been nice having someone shop up with BAGS and BAGS of groceries, do a large portion of the cooking and dishes. A girl could get used to this.

Mr and MrsGiggles are stopping over tomorrow and I can't wait to see them!! It's been too long. I know I just saw them like a month ago...but it's always too long. I can't wait for them to be back in the Central WI area!

Alrighty kids, I am outta here!

New Blog(gers)....

So MrsGiggles has a new blog up and running. Baby! Oh, Baby! At which, she will share with us that trials and tribulations of conception. I can't believe she's not pregnant yet!!!

And to switch things up, we have an identity change in my world. Squidward from this day forth, will be known as Xan. Besides, it's less confusing for me that way. I don't know if we can expect to see a whole lot happen there, but we might see an appearance from time to time.

So there ya go, watch for the new links to appear on my sidebar.

A Whole Lotta Nothing...

So life hasn't been so exciting the last couple of days.

My Friday night was the most laid back it's been in months. No one came over, no one stayed up late....nothing.

I watched the last half of "The Dukes of Hazard". I am never going to get that 40 minutes back, am I? I promptly put in "Fight Club", to feel human again.

Since I haven't had a lot to say lately, I will regale you with things that have been said in my house that are kinda funny.

"I am not going to bite your brother's genitals."
-Mommy

"I can wag my tail better when my legs are closed."
-Kiki

"I am the Switerland of superheros."
-Mack

"Stop it, you are making my sandwich all wet."
-Annie

Take it for what it's worth. But at the time they were all funny.

Just Another Wednesday...

Not a whole lot to report on yesterday. Honestly, I don't remember Wednesday much.

I do know this....there was a Quarter Pounder involved somewhere.

I did see part of "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation","Pirates of the Carribean", and "End of Days". But not an entire movie.

Tonight I think I am going to watch the MTV animated series Aeon Flux. You know, that thing the movie is based on. Wahoo....I'm pumped. But first I am going to clean the bathroom. Double Woo!

Pick-Up Line Thursday...

Editor's Note: Use at your own risk.

Have you ever kissed a rabbit between the ears? (Pull your pockets inside out....) Would you like to?

Where Are You Going?

Last night, when I went to pick Squidward up from work I saw a strange sight.

A family of deer was walking down the sidewalk in front of Joe's house. I wondered where they were headed.

I think they had a hankering for McDonalds.

Talk About Tuesday...

You wanna know how my Tuesday was? I woke up with a hang over.

That's right, I channelled my inner Kiki and had far too much to drink on a school night.

I had fun and I am feeling pretty good actually.

Happy Birthday ...

To Spanky, my oldest niece.

She turns 7 today.

Monday, Monday...

Monday was unevetful enough to not post about. So I wont.

Happy belated birthday to Ray-ray thou.

Cali Can Suck It...

Joe has an on-going series over at his place about the evils of Cailfornia. This started over talking about the joy's of winter. I like winter too, until it gets here. Well, it arrived.

Temp in sunny West Covina, CA - a balmy 51 degrees
Temp in frozen Nowhere, WI - a brisk -12 degrees (including windchill)

Are you kidding me? My heating bill can't take much more.

Conceding...

I am a Firefox user at home now.

Holiday Schmoliday...

Today the bank is making out our cards to send.

I have signed my name 200 times. I am going to start signing more fun names.

Happy Holidays,
Chequita

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday...

What did I do on Sunday?

Slept is what I did. I got up around 7, I went back to bed by 11, I got up at 11:30, and was back in by noon. And I stayed there until 3.30 in the afternoon. It was an ok way to spend the day.

Drug my ass outta bed, and headed over to the laundromat. Now, I haven't mentioned The Adventures of The Fluff and Fold in sometime. Because nothing was worth mentioning, honestly.

Well, yesterday changed all of that. There were these two horrible women there with 3 beautiful little girls in their charge. The little girls were scampering about entertaining themselves. See the laundromat is not a very interesting place for just about amyone other then myself. Well, everytime these girls would start to even a little entertain themselves, their 'providers' would just begin to scream at them in a rather unsettling fashion.

Thankfully, they did no stay long. However, they were replaced by "Onion Boy". And that shall be his super hero title. Never in my life have I encountered someone who smelled like day-old fried onions more then this young man. It was rather revolting actually. It takes awhile to create an aroma like that, and I give the guy credit for sticking with it.

The highlight of my night actually came when I was at Wal-mart. I ran into an old friend and her newborn (well, like 4 months). How beautiful this baby is! She is just breathtaking. Small talk was exchanged and I left feeling pretty good about things. Except, you know, I want to be a mommy a little more now.

The night wrapped up with Pineapple Chicken and Rice (Squidward can cook) and my electric blanket.

Max Bed Count: 2

Frozen Postal Workers...

If I get asked one more time...

"Cold enough for you?"

I am going to freak out!!! Seriously, where do they think we live???

It's WISCONSIN in DECEMBER. DEAL WITH IT!!!!

The Great Holiday Caper...

Saturday's main event was the obtaining of a Christmas tree. Annie and I bundled up and headed out in search of holiday perfection. We met up with Neckred and friend to stomp around in the woods for awhile.

After Annie had the boys knock down a tree only to discover, it was not perfect, she settled for semi holiday perfection.

The next few hours were spent decorating and such. Our house is alive with holiday spirit.

Then Squidward, Annie, Mack and I settled in for a little movie time to solidify the holiday spirit. The Devil's Rejects was not a good movie. Kiki totally warned me about this. I have seen worse movies thou (i.e. House of 1000 Corpses). Despite the fact that it was a bad movie, I dug it.

The night ended with a perfect cappucino and a warm blanket.

Max Bed Count: One.

What A Wierd Feeling...

It's 3.39 in the morning. I just had the best latte of my life and it came from a gas station.

It was $1.29.

Friday Fables...

Friday at work came and went without pause. We were unsupervised most of the morning. And it was good.

Friday night was quiet. I accompanied Kiki to make several large purchases. I will let her tell you what she bought, because I don't want to ruin it for her. But she spent ALOT!

The most eventful point of the night was the invention of "Strong Island Ice Teas". I am not really sure how Kiki makes all her money at the bar, because she can not make a Long Island's for nothing. But a Strong Island....she is all over that.

Laughs were had by all, but I wouldn't be doing the night justice if I left out the fact that the evening was overshadowed by a somber note.

But I will leave you with this.

MATERIAL!!!! She really is a material girl.

Max Bed Count...One.

Hi, My Name Is...

*cue Eminem song*

....broke. I just had to drain my savings to pay my bills.

I hate the 1st payday of the month.

Being an adult sucks.

Thursday Tales...

Not a whole lot to say about Thursday. It was uneventful.

The only thing worth mentioning is that I saw The Neverending Story for the first time. It was alright.

You see Squidward is on a personal mission to get me to see all of the 80's fantasy movies I missed out on. So I can expect things like Willow, The Labyrinth, Legend, etc.

Pleasing Kiki...

At Kiki's request, I am making up a story about yesterday's events.

My alarm went off right on schedule at 6 a.m. I climed out of bed and started on my daily routine. First up, feeding my Llama. That's right I said, llama. Her name is Lola. She's pretty. Well, she lives on a diet of eggplant and okra. You boil them in a vat of grease for 40 mins before serving it up.

So there I was, outside spoon-feeding Lola her mulch, and I see a funny fog drifting across the yard. I couldn't help but stare. It was so pretty, all glimmery and purple. And stinky!!! It smelled like cinnamon...and feet. It was not good.

Lola started freaking out as the fog encased us, my eyes got all blurry and my head began to pound. I ran for the door, feeling more like vomitting with every step. I slammed the door shut behind me. I ran for the shower, it felt like my skin was burning!!! I stepped in letting the cold water wash over me.

Chunks of my hair started falling out and clogging the drain. I couldn't pull the hair out to stop the shower from filling. I grabbed at the glass door and couldn't slide it open. I was trapped. I stood there as the water filled the shower, pounding on the door for help. No one was home, who did I think I was going to hear me.

Everything went black, I could feel my chest constricting. My head became heavy. There was no flashes of childhood memories, no warmth of a loved ones touch, no last kiss, no light. Just an empty sense of dark.

Suddenly, the glass gave and I fell out on to the bathroom floor gasping for air.


So there. I wasn't around yesterday because I died.

And I am full of shit
And I had wanted to do something way differnet with this...but I got bored.

Thursday Pick-Up Line...

Excuse me, ma'am, is that dress felt? Would you like it to be?

My Apologies...

Due to circumstances beyond my control, or completely in my control depending on how you look at it, I was not in a blogging place yesterday.

I will also not be blogging about yesterday's events.

But I will be right back tomorrow!

Dreams of Cyndi Lauper....

Ok, so I don't actually dream of Cyndi Lauper, but everytime I post about Mondays, I hear 'Manic Monday' in my head.

*jumps up off her stool and does the 80's dance* Ok, so not really, but it would have been cool.

I have nothing to say about Monday. It rained? It did melt away just about all of our snow. But it stands to rectify that situation here in a couple of days.

Outside my office window, they began tearing down the ghetto motel yesterday. Makes me think about how life is a lot like that hotel. It starts out as something great and over time it might get run down and a little worn, but you can always tear it down and start over. Does that make any sense? I had a better analogy worked out in my head, but I can't make it come out. So Fuck it.

Helped Kiki move some furniture last night. That's right, we don't need no stinkin' boys. But we are pretty funny to watch when we try to tackle this stuff together.

I laid on the couch and watch the end of The Edukators. I LOVED THIS MOVIE. It's refreshing and new. It's german, so go figure.

I played with Kiki's flat iron for a little bit, my ruby red locks pulled straight, looks kinda good.


I called it an early night and popped some Excerdine PM around 9 and was passed out snug in my bed at 10.

How glam is my life?

Max Bed Count: Duh....

What About Bob...

I almost forgot about Sunday. Like you are running late, racing for the door and remember that you have company. Today Bob is Sunday. *I have never actually seen 'What About Bob?', I just liked the title today.*

Sunday got off to a late start. I slept until damn near noon, popped in a movie to take a nap. Well, the movie was The Edukators. It's German with English subtitles. You can't nap to that!!! It takes way too much concentration. Well, I liked it.

Around 4, I headed over to meet Squidward. It was laundry day. After a brief stop for nourishment, *mmmmm caramel moolatte* we were off to The Fluff and Fold. We do not care for days when the laundromat is busy, so we drove around looking for the least busy one. Also happened to be that most ghetto. *In the ghetto* And there wasn't even anyone worth talking about!

So after a very boring laundry session, we headed back to his place to watch Damien: The Omen II. It wasn't 1/2 bad, but it ended pretty swiftly. It seems like the sequel might have been kind of long so they chopped it in half to make an extra movie. But as I have not seen the 3rd yet, I am only guessing. And I may have been partially asleep at the end too.

All in all, a pretty relaxing Sunday...Not much to talk about.

Bed Count: Wanna guess? Oh wait. Could it be one?

Let The Rain Fall Down...

Everytime it rains, I hear Hilary Duff. I stare out at the serene, and can't help but hear "Come Clean".

I once said that snow makes everything new again. Every flakes that falls provides a fresh slate for us to mess up again.

Every drop of rain that falls cleans away all the dirty that is our lives and reminds us that we can always get clean again.

And I Ain't Got Nobody...

*sing it with me...*

Saturday came and went as all days do. I stayed up way too late Friday night. I stumbled to bed around 3 or 4 and I was up and out the door for work at 7.30 Saturday morning. I made it throught the day and headed home.

After slapping a fresh coat of dye on my head, it's redder then I planned but I like it(and am a little thankful that it fill fade in a week or two), it was nap time. I got out of bed in enough time to throw some clothes on and meet Squidward for his lunch hour. We hurried on over to Pizza Slut. I don't know why but, everytime I am in there I just freeze to death. I was wearing a sweater and I just shivered.

After eating, I laid down to take another nap and the phone rang. School Teacher and her husband were coming over. We hung out for a couple of hours and they watched me play video games until it was time for me to go get Squidward.

We spent the next two hours cooking and baking. We made our own little Thanksgiving dinner for Annie and ourselves, since both he and her missed out on traditional holiday meals. We made stuffed chicken breasts, stuffing, mashed potatoes and vegetables. It was super yummy. We also made a pan of fudge brownies with peanut butter/chocolate swirled chocolate chips and this pan of awesomely looking rich chocolate cake. I say awesome looking because we never got around to actually eating them. Although, Annie and I did have some brownie this morning (omg).

Then it was movie time. We snuggled down on the couch to watch Ginger Snaps. Not a terrible movie in fact. I mean it wasn't great, but I was so entertained by it that I honestly didn't give a crap. I mean, come on!! They taped her tail to her leg! I didn't care for the ending though, I found it lacking. But what can you expect.

It was around 4 before I finally found myself slipping into dreamland, where I dreamed of things that I can't tell you about. They made me a little sad though.

Off to start my Sunday.

Max. Bed Count: 1

The Return of Black Friday...

In more then one sense honestly.

The Friday after Thanksgiving means the same thing to many people. Ass crack of dawn, door buster sales. I am no exception to this. I have a tradition every year that involves dragging my sorry ass out of bed at 4 a.m. to meet up with MrsGiggles, her mom and aunt. Then we head off to Wal-Mart for whatever the deal of the week is. The only thing that interested me was a 256MB memory card for $13.88! Can't go wrong there. Then it was off to JCPenny's, Fashion Bug, Payless, Sam Goody, Office Max and Walgreens. This was all before 9 a.m. It's not so bad when you are doing it, because I think I look so forward to it, that I don't notice how tired I am. I do enjoy the time spent with Mrs. Giggles. It's the only tradition we have left and I love it.

I scurried home to take a nap, which didn't happen and by 10:30, I was on the way to work. Work blew. It was really slow for a Friday after a holiday. After 6 loooong hours it was homeward bound to clean up my house a little before people started popping over.

Parts of the night made for awkward and tense moments that I care not to re-hash because I will only get upset again. But let's leave it at....there's always drama at my house. Fridays will never be the same to me if all my friends can't hang out. At some point in time thou, I did have to leave that not all my friends have to be friends with each other. I didn't think though, that being civil was out of the question, but what do I know?

Entertainment Run Down...

This is what you need to know right now...or what I feel you need to know this very second.

Alias is dunzo? Althou, I am not even a little surprised. Once an avid follower, I can say I have only watched one episode this season.

And big surprise...Nick and Jessica have announced their parting of ways. Anybody who reads the paper (i.e. US Weekly) already knew that. Seems they were the last to know.

Goddamn Over-Achievers...

So here I am reading the paper today. I see a picture of a guy I went to high school with. Picture him, your all-american boy next door jock. This boy was no average jock though, he was a god. Like a super-hero alien hybrid of jock. He deserves his own Saturday morning cartoon for heaven's sake. He was that cool. And whatever happen to Saturday morning cartoons, they used to be soo cool.

*breaks out in dance* I'm just a bill....Conjuction Junction, what's your function...The coolest class I had post high-school was this writing class and the teacher didn't want to teach that day so she threw in School House Rocks. It was the best day ever.

What was I talking about again? Oh, super jock.

In football, he still holds the conference record in both most yards rushing and rushing attempts. He lettered like 13 times in sports, named all-conference and all-state in basketball, football, and baseball. He went on to college football for Madison and baseball for Milwaukee. Athletic success followed him in his colligate career as well, he was once the Wisconsin Offenisve Player of the year and played on the 1999 team that went to the Rosebowl. The guy did it all and made it look easy.

As if that wasn't enough, he was just named head coach to MSOE's baseball team.

I would hate him if he weren't so damn likable. He always said hi and smiled at everyone. He was the kind of guy in high school that didn't care who you hung out with or what brand your shoes were. He was the Homecoming King, Prom and Winter Ball king and nobody hated him. You just couldn't, he was just a nice guy. I can honestly say, the only reason I know so much is he was cute as hell! I mean seriously, this guy was Jake Ryan personified (and if you don't know who that is, I can't speak to you anymore).

I have to wonder what their mom fed the boys in this family. His older brother went on to play professionally for both the Colts and the Redskins until an ankle injury sidelined him. He also is cute, which explains the knowledge of his doings.

Boys like this make small time bank tellers look like slackers. Oh wait...

By The Pound...

So I hope everyone's Thanksgivings came and went without pause and that you still have pumpkin pie induced heartburn. Teehee, nice huh?

I could run down the whole day but instead I will just recap.
* Digit told "The Thanksgiving Story" a record number of 3 times in one day. It's amazing how well received humor at my expense really is.
* The word masturbate was used at the dinner. And later in a sentence by my mother.
* My mother touched my special place at the dinner table.
* Meow Mixx learned that there is a reason all holiday gatherings are served with alcohol.
* Neckred showed us just how redneck he really is by finding his run-in's with the law amusing.
* A 6 y/o and a 4 y/o can eat more turkey then me.
* My mother came into the living room and asked Neckred to help my step-dad get it up.

See, and you thought Thanksgiving was boring.

Happy Thanksgiving...

I hope the holiday finds you well. Eat some turkey 'til you puke!

I will be enjoying the holiday at my mom's. Joining me of course will be Digi, Meow Mixx, Prof Snape, Lazy Eyed Nottie (featured in Digi's FIB story) and children.

Should be at least one thing to blog about.

The Great Holiday Exchange...

Inspired by PJS, I have deicieded (spelled it wrong, don't care) to jump on the bandwagon.

The Great Blogger Chirstmas Card Exchange. (Sounds like a Charlie Brown movie).

Who doesn't love mail, especially the holiday kind? So if you are so inclined to join in the fun...shoot me an email (if you read my profile...you'd know it's there) with mailing info and I will handwrite a holiday card and send it your way.

And then use your information to steal your identity. Not really. I am not smart enough to do that, but we all gathered that.

Seriously...do it...holiday cards from me. I mean come on. And I can maybe even get other blogstars to join in the fun. And leave a comment so other people know that we are doing this.

Oooo. Instead of identity theft....I think I will sell your information to other bloggers. teehee. Seriously, not smart enough to do that.

Showin' Some Love...

I was featured on SamanthaBurns.com for some reason or another as a random link she posted. I am a little flattered.

Wander on over her way. She's interesting.

A Case Of The Mondays...

My first day back to work came and went without pause. The highlight of my day was collecting the mail.

My CD came!

Yay!! So needless to say, I am Madonna-licous!

And Amazon still says it's in Kentucky.

Saturday/Sunday Shenanigans...

Honestly, I don't have a whole lot that I want to say about Saturday. Squidward and I made a quick stop at the bar to chat for 10 mins and then headed home to settle in to watch a little Roswell. Had a sleep over with intentions of sleeping in super late, and that really didn't happen.

So let's skip ahead to Sunday. It was more fun anyways.

Laid around the house and watched movies like Dogma and Just Married most of the morning. Then headed over to Squidward's place to hang out in front of the Xbox for a bit. Then headed back to my place for a little din din and then the main event of the evening was Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I dug it! I went with Annie, Squidward, and my coffeemaking friends from the north. A good time was had by all.

We headed back to my place, had a little more food. Then headed to his place to watch Garden State. If you haven't seen that movie...YOU MUST!

Max Bed Count for Saturday - 3, 1 solo and 2 snugglers

Max Bed Count for Sunday - 2 solo inhabitants

So that's my vacation...exciting huh?

What's In Kentucky...

That's a good question. Well, let me tell you. MY MADONNA CD! *insert angry eyes*

On October 25, I up and pre-ordered the brand spanking new Confessions On A Dancefloor. See now, I thought the whole purpose of PRE-ORDERING something was so that arrived at your door on date of release.

Silly girl.

I looked on-line last night to see where my cd was, because....well, it was Friday night.

KENT-fucking-UCKY!!!

I can honestly say I am never pre-ordering anything I want badly ever again. Would have been easier to just go to Wal-mart and stand in line 3 days and just buy it.

*sighs and places angry eyes back on shelf*

Funky Friday...

There was a whole gauntlet of emotions that were included on Friday. I was in the best mood, but as always due to drama, it was fleeting. So, lets skip to the fun parts.

Squidward and I went to dinner with Ray-ray. It was enjoyable, the food was good, desert was not. We ordered this ice cream pie which tasted like it had sat in the freezer about 2 years too long.

As you already know, Friday nights my house is a bustle of activity. This week we pulled out the sofa bed and lounged in front of the TV. The main movie of the night was Wayne's World. Party on.

Squidward made a fantastic chocolate cake that never actually got consumed at all Friday. But the batter bowl was the centerpiece of the evening. Batter ended up everywhere. I was Q-tipping (yes, it's a word) cake batter out of my ear. And let me tell you...I have never had cake smeared on me before, more fun then you'd think.

Meow Mixxx was feeling a little possessive Friday night and felt randomly to stake her claim to me, by grabbing my boobs. (There's a visual for you, Labbie).

Other then that, Squidward and I cooked a whole stuffed chicken (again) and it never actually made it to get cut (again).

Picture this, 3 people on the couch huddled over a whole chicken still in the pan and 3 forks. We don't believe in actually craving birds here anymore. Just pick the carcass clean with a couple of forks. We are actually pretty progressive around here, this is our way to save on dishes.

After a little tummy bumping, the evening winded down for me around 4 a.m.

Max. Bed Capacity...It's tricky. Actual bed - 3 (three at a time, two at a time, and solo...It was a happening spot). Sofa bed - 5 (cozy).

Thursday Tales...

A busy day again. If you say nothing else about me, say this. I am reliable. I am there when needed, everytime, no questions asked.

So skipping right over the most of the day. Cleaned a little, cried a little, napped a little, ect. Had a little visit with Kiki, who was just joyed to go back to work today. Talked of movies, chocolate, Friends, and life. Was nice.

Squidward and I ordered a couple of pizzas for din din and then it was off to the laundry. There was this completely freaky guy there!!! He was a piece of work, not the brightest color crayon in the box. I was a little frightened by him at first, but that quickly changed into annoyance.

From there we went to visit Squidy's dad. Such a nice man.

Then it was back to my place for the most uncomfortable game of Monoply in history.

A little bit of cleaning here and there, and then bed around 3.

Max. Bed Count...3...but never more then 2 at a time.

What About Wednesday...

So, my internet was gone almost all day. BASTARD CHARTER!

So Wednesday. Not really fun. But has it been so far? I spent a large portion of the day snowed in. Cellphone service was out almost all day (I was so antsy during this period).

I ventured out of the house to go to Wal-mart and do a little shopping. A little shopping turned into a lot of shopping (it's Wal-mart, I think it's in the air). I did emerge with Season 10 of Friends (which I have already watched most of) and a new pair of pink boots (they are kind of moon bootish) along with other assorted gunk.

My evening consisted of trying to force feed Meow Mixxx (hadn't eaten in 3 days), and I was not successful.

Squidward and I armed oursleves with paint brushes and attacked my pantry. My pantry was not finished, so we took care of that. A fresh coat of paint later, it looks like I live here. The walls are green and the cupboards are purple.

My phone lately can't seem to stop ringing and last night this was the case. That and my door was pretty busy. I am ok with this actually. Love that people feel they can come here. At any rate, my night ended some where around 6 a.m.

Max. Bed Count...3....but one at a time.

Tuesday Troubles...

After a late night/very early finish to Monday, Squidward and I got a late start on our mission of the day. We were headed to the next major city for a little early holiday shopping.

We, or course chose to do this on the day of the first major snow storm of the year. It's a 60 mile drive. It generally takes me just over an hour to get there, last night it took about an hour and 45 minutes to get home. I couldn't see the lines on the freeway, I spun out a few times on the local highway. It was great fun.

This is the aftermath.

Max Bed Count. 2...but one at a time

Mundane Monday...

...Hardly.

After sleeping in, Squidward and I headed north to the Island City to visit our coffee maker friend.

We had a nice relaxing evening watching Eddie Izzard, and Dawn of the Dead. She made awesome tacos with this chocolate sauce. It has a name....but I just like to call it the chocolate taco sauce.

Vacation Day 2 ended late and rough. I will not disclose any details. But I love everyone involved and hope all is well.

And to the girl on the couch...sleeping like that will give you a crick in the neck.

Maximum bed capacity...2....singlely (yes, that's a word, now shush) occupied twice.

Taking Action...

We, the undersigned do hereby present this petition to our dear Labbie demanding the return of your former photo. Thus restoring the hotness to the blogosphere that we have so been accustomed to. With a heavy heart, we regret to inform you that your Star Wars fixation, is just not hot enough for us anymore. And it is all about us and our needs.

Thank you for you attention to this matter.

**Edited** Sunday Slackings...

Not really thou.

Vacation day 2 gone like, well, yesterday.

Had my weekly breakfast with the lovely Miss Kitty. Spent the day cleaning up and watching Roswell. Had dinner with Squidward. Cleaned some more. Downloaded a poo load of songs. Made a ton of CD's. Loaded Kiki up with new tunes. Made MrsGiggles a new one, but am making her wait to get it.

After picking Squidward up, we came to the conclusion we were hungry, very hungry. So off to the grocery store. We ended up with a whole chicken of all things. A stuffing stuffed whole chicken.

**At this point I must mention the cashier with the totally bitchin' bangs. This were "1987, crammed in the backseat of a Pacer to go see her first Whitesnake concert" bangs. Several cans of White Rain (remember White Rain, prom hair that wouldn't move for weeks, holes in the ozone...) went into creating this look. I bet she has stone-washed white jeans in her closet. I would wager she still wears them.**

Anyway, the chicken. Did you know this things take 2 hours!!!!! Not the best thing when you are starving!

So one bottle of Red Raspberry wine and several smirnoff's later, the chicken was done. Looked so good, we didn't bother cutting it. So picture Squidward, Mack, Annie, and I sitting around the coffee table picking a chicken carcass clean.

Maximum Bed Count...3 total. But not at the same time. I had different bed buddies in the morning then I did in the evening.

Saturday Shenanigans...

So, day one of vacation under my belt. And what a day it was.

I can't believe I slept til noon. I told you about the 1st half, and I am not going to repeat it.

The afternoon went well. I got a fantastic phone call about 4 pm. MrsGiggles called and wanted to know if we could go to dinner. This quite possibly made my vacation. I, of course said yes. After sharing his supper hour, I returned Squidward back to work and headed home to get ready. I had a tight schedule to keep.

Dinner with theGiggles was exactly what I needed. I laughed until my sides hurt and everything in between. MrGiggles made it his mission to try and send something out my nose. The food was good, but it was more about the location then anything else. We went to this place where we all used to go for fish forever ago. It's a piece of our history. It's perfect.

After getting home, we hurriedly cleaned up after Poopuppy (a terrier with alone issues, so he has potty problems), and I was off to my next stop.

A surprise 50th birthday party for Digi's boss at the bar Kiki works at (like I am going to miss that...I don't seem to have to pay for drinks there....shhhhh!). It sadly was just a stop. I had enough time to tell my poo-puppy story, say hi to the birthday boy, slam my free beer, say bye to the birthday boy and head back to town to make sure Squidward didn't have to walk home in the ick weather we have been having.

When I hit my pillow at 2, I didn't remember turning out the light, I was beat. I had so much fun thou.

Thanks MrsGiggles. I needed that.

Maximum Bed Capacity...one.

Another Friday Night...

My house is the place to be on Friday nights. And that's cool. Last night was Monoply night. The game lasted damn near 3 hours. I left for 7 minutes and lost my shirt. Ruthless bastards. I finally got to bed around 5 this morning. Which is ok, because I am on vacation (did I just start a sentence with a preposition?). I slept until damn near noon today. I haven't done that in YEARS! I didn't know I was capable anymore. Hopped in the shower and I was off to run some arrands.

DEAR LORD! WAL-MART ON A SATURDAY???? WHAT WAS I THINKING???

$65 later, I was back at home. Saturday mornings are always a tad bittersweet. Friday nights are so fun (mostly), and I always seem to forget about the disaster that follows the day after the 'party'. I had soda cans (I know, we are crazy) and chocolate wrappers from one end of the house to the other. Oh well, it's worth it.

I feel creative today. I need to do something to let that out.

I have dishes to do, so I should take off. Tonight I have a surprise party (shhhh to attend), kinda looking forward to that!

Keep your eyes open for the daily vacation recap.

The Time Is Upon Us....

This smoothie has some vacation time. And you bet your sweet ass I am taking it.

In 4 fantastic minutes my vacation starts.

Some plans in the works, nothing much, little nits here and there....updates along the way.

Another Goddess Point...

A co-worker needed her car jumped. Who was the only person in the bank with jumper cables? Who had not one but two sets?

I rock, I will now welcome your worship.


Digit warning....
Labbie....I jumped her topless.....lol...ok not really, but I'll let you have that...

Shake It Off...

So I am running a few minutes late this morning (because I was making a new cd). I am driving down the street, it's a busy street. And I see the neighbor's two dogs outside playing, in the street. ... Can you see where this is headed?

...

Yea, I hit the neighbor's dog this morning. Knocked my license plate off even. Granted it's not screwed in, but still. I saw them run off, pulled over. Get out of the car. I had the stereo on, so I couldn't actually hear the dog yip....but everyone else in the neighborhood did. So I attracted a small crowd.

I was trying to explain to the owner what happened. And all I got was "He's fine." The girl who went to get him after at happened looked at him and said...

"That's what you get for not tying up your dogs and walked away." How crazy is that?!?
Honestly, I am pretty upset about the whole thing, but I didn't do anything wrong and there was nothing I could do...but still...

Movie Mumblings...

The Machinst and Silence of The Lambs.

TM: I love Christian Bale. I would be lying if I tried to claim anything else was the driving force behind seeing this movie (Heelloo Batman). OMG, eww. He is so sick and gross in this movie that you can see actual bones trying to poke through his skin. Gross. Other then that, it was a good movie. I had a little of a Fight Club vibe going on, but cool none the less.

SOTL: How have I never seen this? It was an ok movie. Although, I think I expected better. It was good, but not own it good.

Thursday Pick-Up Line...

Let's go to my place and do the things I'll tell everyone we did anyway.

TheRedCup.Com...

The holiday season is fast approaching, and don't think Starbucks missed out on it. Each day on their holiday themed website, they post a little cheer.

Today I came across, "What Holiday Cookie Are You?" After a short quiz, this is what I learned.

GINGERSNAP

Woah, Gingersnap! You never know what you are going to get with one of these guys.

Sometimes they're super snappy, other times there's more of a forgiving

bending and creasing, when they fall more into the 'chew' category.

The unpredictable nature isn't limited to texture, but to taste too.

How much ginger, pepper and spice? Watch out, because this loose cannon

of a cookie might bite you back.

So there you have, even Starbucks knows...I bite.

And I am so getting a peppermint mocha next week!!!

To Eat Or Not To Eat...

The company I work for is taking the office out to dinner tonight. It's an annual thing to help us build moral and support the team spirit. (it's a load of crap).

They are taking us to this place that used to have great food....now it just sucks.

I am not really looking forward to it...however even if it's no good...it's still a meal I didn't have to prepare.

Movie Mumblings....

Who's the bitch now? Teehee....I watche The New Guy again last night. I LOVE THAT MOVIE!!! DJ Qualls makes me giggle to no end.

I made Mrsgiggles watch this once back in the day. She liked it so much we watched it twice that night.

Retirement...

My brother Digi retired this weekend. Head on over and send him some love.

And be nice....or I'll sick the Tossed Salad Dancers on you.

What The Hell...

Netflix won't let you have more then 500 movies on your waiting list....

Oh So Close...

...to 5,000 page views.

You should let me know if you are my 5000....

Movie Mumblings...

A Lot Like Love. I wanted to like it. I tried to like it. It wasn't a bad movie, it ended like every other movie of that theme....but everytime something I like happened, the next scene messed it up. Not too bad, but not great.

Seriously, Dude...

So plans are being made to have an Ashton Kutcher themed movie night at my house. A Lot Like Love, Just Married and I think the 3rd has to be Dude, Where's My Car. I hated that movie, but I think it has to be. I loved The Butterfly Effect, but that doesn't really fit in with the theme of the evening.

I am hoping Meow comes over tonight, otherwise it's just me and a stack of movies. She hasn't been feeling well, so she wasn't sure. But I guess we will see.

Thursday Pick-Up Line...

Hey...somebody farted. Let's get out of here.

Day Of The Dead....

The end of October and early November is a strange time when you think about it. Halloween, All Saints Day and Day of the Dead all fall in a row.

How knew it would be so fun to celebrate the dead?

Where The Hell...

...is my damn side bar?

One Step Closer To Goddess...

Or lesbian...

So today, I am bopping along in the Jeep. Fresh from dropping Squidward at work, car dancing to Britney (don't tell anyone), and thinking about cookie reciepes and I get a crying phone call from my roommate.

She's at the Y picking up a client for work. She gets out of the car...flat tire. So she calls me. Me. Need your nails done, hair dyed, help with a chicken reciepe...you call me.

Well, I changed the damn tire. It's not so hard. In fact, I am pretty damn pleased with myself right now.

Well, not much to say, cookies to bake, dinner to make, a house to clean, check book to balance....lots to do on my day off.

Signs Of The Seasons...

I put on socks...

All Saints Day...

I trust everyone had a safe and happy halloween. And that your treats outnumbered your tricks. Unless that was what you were going for, then alright!

I got out of work at 4.30 yesterday and was put straight to work. Squidward was a demon for halloween and there was body paint to be applied before heading to the party. Flash forward 4 hours later...DAMN!! It took F-O-R-E-V-E-R. But it was worth it. He looked seriously cool.

The party itself was kind of a bust and we stayed just over an hour. But since Squidward was covered in body paint and couldn't sit..or touch anything...(in hindsight, that might have contributed to us leaving early) it was a little akward for him. Had they given our prizes thou, he would have won!

The night ended with a little Shaun of the Dead at his place. Where I am pretty sure I blacked out from exhaustion around midnight for a little bit, but just over an hour of sleep for one day will do that.

Thankfully, I have to day off and was able to sleep in. After stumbling to bed around 1, I slept until...7.30...

6 hours of sleep in 2 days....why do I feel so good?

Easy Like Sunday Morning...

Sunday was spent mostly in bed. My day really didn't hit it running until about 5 pm. And it didn't stop until 5 a.m. I got wrapped up in laundry adn costume stuff and the time got away from me. But let me tell you when my alarm went off at 6, I had a pretty good sense of time then.

Kiki and I dressed up as prom queens today. We look smashing!! But I cannot wait to switch in my comfy cat costume for the party Squidward and I are attending later today.

Thank god I have tomorrow off, I feel burnout coming on!! This hour of sleep thing is killing me.

Saturday Shenanigans...

What a day it was.

Squidward and I headed to the next city over in search of the finishing touches for our halloween costumes. We got him fangs, and a whip but were not able to find body paint. I got a tiara.

We scurried back home, not all the quickly I might add to attend a masquerade. I was a little hesistant at first I must admit, but I had a nice time. Lately, I have been a myspace whore thanks to Squidward, and EVERYONE there was on myspace. So it was cool to match up faces to names and to meet some more of Squidward's friends.

After watching Bubba Ho-Tep (so not my choice) we were off to meet Betty. Betty was at a house party with the remainder of Squidward's friends. WOW!! I do not miss those days. We stayed there for a little bit. I did see a familiar face or 3 there, so I wasn't completely out of the loop.

Back in the day, mi madre used to pick up a classmate of mine and her little brother and take them to school every day. In my mind, the little brother stayed the curly haired fro kid. Well, tonight I saw him fall over a couch drunk. Not so little anymore. But funny as hell, as he was hanging on me, breathing his alcohol fire breath. I can't hide how entertained I was.

The evening ended with Squidward and I watching Candyman on the couch of a pizza and a few drinks.

Sunday re-cap to follow.

Another Friday Night...

I know....it's Sunday morning really. But let's recap back from the begining.

My house just seems to be a gathering place on Friday nights. And that's cool. Most of the time I am here alone, so it can be a welcome change. It started as just Meow Mixxx and I chilling out on Fridays. Then people started to show up. So now on Fridays, the tunes are bumping, the beer is cold, and the house is full.

This Friday was no different. In starring roles this week were Squidward, Mack, Meow, Digi, Annie, Myself, and introducing Betty and Don.

It was Mack birthday friday night, so his BF Don came over with him. Don was a wee bit drunk. And annoying. But who hasn't been the annoying drunk in the room once in their life. Don's visit was short lived. His keys were confiscated and I walked him to a girls house (bow chica wow wow). He stayed long enough to kill the night.

Mostly everyone ended up reading magazines and making silly small talk about zombie movies (go figure).

The night wrapped itself up unexpectedly and rapidly.

I don't really know how to entertain in a situation like that. I don't have a gaming system of any kind for people to huddle over, no cable. Just a few DVD's my computer and beer. Generally only works for a short time.

Maybe I just need more practice. So who is coming next week?

Pheobe Watch...

Pheobe passed away sometime while I was out on Saturday.

Pheobe Watch...

My dog died last week, keep in mind...

My gerbil Pheobe, who I adopted in May, yeah, she's dying. I didn't expect her to make it thru the night honestly. She's convulsing. Cold to the touch. Not really moving and her breathing is terrible shallow and sporadic.

I covered her up last night to try and warm her up, but I don't know if there's anything I can do. She's a gerbil.

It's Thursday...

Pick-up line returns!!!!

Wanna play carnival? You sit on my face and I guess how much you weigh.

The Dynasty Dilemma...

Well, leaking tranny fluid. Kiki and I figured this out on our own thank you very much.

Graham took me out to drop it off on my lunch. When asked if I would have it back for the weekend. I got laughed at.

insert sad face here

The Dynasty Dilemma...

Just when I thought it was over.

I picked up my car last Thursday and Dr. Jason said it might need to come back in. He hoped the issue resolved itself.

Well, it is less of an issue. The issue being, the car jerks into gear. It hesitates accelerating going up a hill. Not bad, but enough to annoy me. Well, I made the appointment for Tuesday, my day off, to take it in and have it looked at.

I think I noticed a small (teeny tiny actually) puddle under her today. But I don't know. I tried to check the tranny fluid (lmao, like I know where that is.) and couldn't.

I dunno what to do. Seems to be running ok. Maybe I will have my oh-so-wonderful-loyal-loving and expert salad tossing brother point me in the right direction. (loves you). I really don't want to take it in any sooner then I planned, I really don't want to be without it over the weekend.

Regular or Decaf...

Every couple of months I swear off caffeine for a couple of weeks. Just because. And with the sleep problems, I have been having I figure now is as good a time as any. The last time a soda or energy drink crossed my path was Saturday just prior to going to the bar. I have been doing ok too. Sleeping a little more (except for last night), and drinking ALOT more water.

But of course now that I am talking about it...all I can do is yawn.

Movie Mumblings...

Friday night Meow Mixxx and I ventured to see In Her Shoes. I didn't have a whole lot of faith in the movie, because I don't think Cameron Diaz is all that great. But I am a fan of Jennifer Weiner (the author of the book), so I was excited. It turned out to be pretty damn good, for a chick flick that is. MM and I giggled our little heads off at stuff not related to the movie, but that we felt was funny at the time. And after a resonable attractive guy appeared in the movie we felt that we needed to watch Fight Club, right then. I mean RIGHT NOW! Fight Club is like soft core porn for women. Brad Pitt and Ed Norton have never looked so damn good, EVER! I watched some of it, slept thru most ot it. Passed out is more appropriate.

Sunday was movie day for Squidward and I. Movies, pizza, and a bottle of Hypnotic. Life is good. We watched Dead Meat, The Amityville Horror (2005 remake), and Trainspotting.

DM - Ok, an Irish zombie movie about rabid cows infected with a mutated strain of Mad Cow. You draw your own conclusions.

TAH - OMG!! I never saw the orginal, but this rocked! And Ryan Reynolds...may the gods help me. He has grown up since his TV sitcom days.

TS - Coolest movie ever. Might be my new favorite. SEE THIS NOW!

Sunday Slacking...

Got up around 8 to go take a nap basically. Got up to make breakfast and didn't need to. So NAPPY TIME!!!

Headed to the Fluff and Fold for laundry. No one was there...so it wasn't even fun.

Came home. You guessed it. Nap. From which I was startled awake from Squidward. Picked him up and headed to DQ from greasy post bar food.

When we got there, we saw all of his friends from the night before there. Most still appeared to be wearing the same clothes. They don't really talk to me much, because I am the new girl. And honestly I am ok with that. But I did take great pleasure in telling the boy who took her home, that she had been married and divorced/annulled twice in 2 years.

Squidward and I then headed to various stop to pick up all the supplies needed for a perfect Sunday. Movies, alcohol, and pizza. And then we sat on the couch for like 5 hours. I watched him work on a necklace for his friend and was in awe. The man has talent.

I watched a ton of movies....so brace yourself for the movie post....tomorrow.

Saturday Shenanigans....

I couldn't very well have said weirdness, could I?

I worked on Saturday which was mostly uneventful. Graham and Kiki made it worth showing up (better late then never). Squidward called and asked if I wanted to meet him for his dinner break. So we had a plesant meal at Country Kitchen. (Service sooo bad) And made plans to meet up with his friends for a couple drinks later.

I won't go into the details because I don't feel like making code names. But highlights included one of Squidward's friends ultimately hooking up with my favorite bar hootchie. This girl is fun to watch, but as I watch her trying and fill the voids in her life, a sad feeling washes over me.

Additional points of note, someone in Squidward's party that I had not been introduced to
bought me 2 mixers and 2 shots. (Well, he bought for everyone too.)

A friend of Squidward's (see a trend here, I was way out numbered) as she was apologizing for spilling her beer all down the front of another bar patron, accidently dumped her beer all over my flip flop wearing feet. I did not say anything to anyone other then Squidward, because she was trying so hard to correct the first spill.

A girl from the local video store walked up to Squidward (who may have been drunk by this point) and I and stuffed 2 shots in our hands and walked away.

Other stuff happened.......oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I can't believe I almost forgot.

So when we get to our favorite watering hole (best people watching in town...should be their slogan), there was a very large man shaking his groove thing solo for the whole bar to see. He was a dancing machine. And big props to man for having a good time. And giving Squidward and I something to giggle about alot.

So that's it in a nutshell. Woke up alone, fully clothed and not bloody, so it wasn't great...but fun.

My First Time...

Digi were you scared?

This is to landmark my 1st drunk post actually.

Nothing to say. I am going to finish my beer and go to sleep.

We Can't Have That Now...

...I can't be out done.

MrsGiggles went out for a few ... kegs last night. And ended the night by chistening her front lawn. (I take all the fun out of things for other bloggers lately).

Not that it's a competition, but I bet I can drink more then she can!

I am going to travel out into the night with Squidward and his friends. This is a 1st for me. Would be lying if I said I wasn't a little nervous.

Should be plenty to report, as there always is.

Remembering Buttons...

She was a good dog. She was 16 when she died this week. Such a good little dog. Annoying, but good. I loved her so much. No one else did, but at the end of the day, she had me.

Interesting...

Annie and Mack are spending the night in a hotel (bow chica wow wow) in Chicken Creek, and on her way out the door, she teasingly said "No Boys".

She's not even to the city limits and a guy is on the way. It just worked out that way.

He's cute, and too young for me. But still, didn't stop me from showering quick and trying to clean a bit.

Birthday Boodle...

The conclusion, I think (unless I am getting a buritto later this week).

In a shocking appearance, Neckred appeared on Tuesday night, bearing gift none the less. And he didn't even ask me to buy him beer.

I am surprised he even knew this movie exsisted. It's fluffy, girl and I love it.

So Thursday I went to dinner at my Mom's. I don't like her right now. But lets not get into that. It was my birthday dinner. She made steak and baked potatoes. And she got me 2 cakes!!! One to take home (red velvet) and a cheesecake to have with the fam. I could go into the details of the evening, but I haven't the energy. I think she felt guilty for the entire week in general. This is what she got me.

Cinderella (I'm a Disney whore), Clueless (like omg, duh!) and a set of 3 new frying pans (because I mentioned that mine didn't heat evenly). And 2 pairs of slippers....pink fuzzy ones and purple ones with hearts (I love slippers).

and then it gets wierd.

That's right boys and girls. Manwich, hotdogs, diet soda (but I can win a million dollars), and a Hello Kitty juice bottle (which I love btw). Oh...and taffy apples. But I ate those. I told you she felt guilty. MANWICH???

Digi showed up last night with boodle in hand as well.

Who doesn't love Sin City? And he has no idea how thoughtful I thought the book really was.

I am so damn loved (and spoiled) that it's hard to take sometimes. I love you all for the really thoughtful gifts this year. I loved them all.

Didja Miss Me?

It's been blogless couple of days for me. I have been mourning, hitting on Labbie, dodging mullets and working. Not a lot of time for the blogging. So today I am going to post 15 times...and at least as many pictures.

None For You...

No pick-up line this week.

I just found out that my dog is being put to sleep on Thursday and I am not much in the mood. Probably won't hear a whole lot out of me as far as Thursday goes.

How Disappointing...

It just occured to me...No giant nacho sauce for my birthday. WTF?!?! Have no fear, christmas is coming.

So last night, I am driving Annie's car to go pick up Squidward from work. I have a few extra mintues to kill, I swing past Dr. Jason's place to see if Dessa (that's my ride) has been moved to the done side of the world.

Imagine my shock when I see Dessa, on the lift with Dr. Jason under her. At 10 p.m.! Let me say this now, I have the coolest mechanic in the world. Would your guy be working on your car at 10 p.m.?

So I called him all excited this morning thinking that it of course, should be done. He tells me, not quite but soon.

I eagerly await the call. Finally, it came. My heart skipped a beat like you'd have thought that Christian Bale was calling me. But turns out, that feeling was short lived.

The new tranny is faulty. It's sticking in 2nd. There is a call in on it, but no word yet as to when I might be with car again.

Birthday Boodle...

My Almost Birthday Party came bearing these...

The milk frother of my dreams, a cheesy horror flick, and a purse.

Here is Kiki modeling a modified party hat, in a not very flattering pose, I might add. Squidward and I looked H-O-T in these hats.

The girls at work heard I had never gotten flowers before, so 25 roses. Now, if I could just get flowers from a boy...

They also heard I wanted the Hello Kitty Everywhere book. Not pictured are the 2 passes to the local cinema they got me and the Spongebob toy!

The Big Bad Ass Book of Shots came thanks to MrsGiggles. Kiki and I busted that bitch open last night. Blue Lemon Drop...not good. So thanks to MrsGiggles and THE book, Kiki and I will be testing a shot a week and sharing our humble opinions with you all.

The Jamie Cullum CD came thanks to Ray-Ray. I picked this CD up like 4 times in the last week and always talked myself out of it. I love him! And a super cheesy cheeseburger for lunch today.

Squidward took me out for chinese and I enjoyed Buddist Delight Vegetables. NUM!

And debuting Beep (she owns a BP station here in town, think I am being all clever.), she is taking (or making, I wasn't really listening) me to dinner tonight.

Digit and family took me for pizza Friday night, (which I am pretty sure I never thanked them for...so thanks and loves guys!) and he and the Girlfriend took me out for a night of drinking which could only be described as surreal. It is the first time I have been out drinking and requested to be dropped off at a guy's apartment as far opposed to going home. (insert raised eyebrows here). I was deposited at Squidward's pad.

Ooooh....and let's not forget Grade School Teacher....she sent me a quarter. As if I needed reminding that I am a quarter of a century old. Ug.

So spoiled! And truly blessed. I feel really loved.

Happy Anniversary...

To Mr and MrsGiggles.

Today they celebrate 2 years of wedded bliss. Never in my life have I met two people so perfect for each other. I was lucky enough to be part in their special day and I am still thankful to have them be such an important part of my life. (See how I made that about me, teehee I am so bad. But it is my blog after all.)

I hope for them that a lifetime of continued live and happiness awaits them. I hope for me, I find somewho compliments me as well as the do each other.

Scoot over her way and show some love!

Not Much To Say...

It's funny how good friends can make a gloomy mood disappear. I have been funkin' it (Juicy talk for uber bummed out) for well over a week and today the clouds parted the the sun shined down.

Literally too. The sun was fantastic today. It made my skin tingle, as it soaked into my skin. It may have been one of the last really nice days, and I am so glad it happened. It was just what I needed.

I drove around (in Annie's car, because mine is still sick) with Saltine's son Pookie, kicked with Kiki for hours (I so needed that), and Squidward just got here.

I got some presents today. So that helped too. I'll post some pictures tomorrow so I can brag about all my birthday boodle (again a Juicy word, a dictionary is available upon request). I am soo spoiled.

It's a good thing I have tomorrow off, because seeing as how Squidward just walked in the door. I find it highly unlikely that we are going straight to bed.

Until tomorrow my friends.

Lots of love

(wonders if anyone noticed the subtle template changes)
