I Can't Believe I Wasn't Invited...

So I went to Cell One to activate the new phone this morning. I went to high school with the sales rep, so we filled the empty silence with stupid small talk. At which time, he congratulated me on getting married.

WHOA BOY! LOL, after I collected my jaw from the counter top I got some more info. Seems some people I went to high school with seem to think I am married. I explained that if I had been married, I got jipped out of all the fun stuff. Like, gifts...honeymoons....

Well, there is always those 6 hours unaccounted for in Florida...

What A Mood Killer...

My mother just told me that my little brother might be moving home. His dad is picking on him...

Time to move...

Now, That'll Help Your Morale...

Today, I got a call from a competing financial institution. Asking me if they could send me an application. They were asking all kinds of questions about what I do in my current job, how long I have been there, etc. I found this quite odd at the time. Then it struck me.

I talked with a guy who I used to work with yesterday. He went to a competing intuition after they raped his ass too. He didn't have anything available, but said he would put the word out. I thought it was just a conversational formality...

I should give him more credit.

Cheesy Pick-up Line Of The Week...

Welcome to a new feature... After an entertaining episode at work, we have decided that this needs to be a weekly thing.

So here's Week 1

Wanna play army?

I'll lay down and you can blow the hell out of me.


Tune in next Thursday for more cheese

I Think He Winked At Me...

Anthony...that is.

He stays! My 11 votes must have swung it his way.

Well, Here She Is...

She doesn't think she's funny...if she read it again....I bet she'd laugh.

I Don't Always Mean It...

Today I was reading my own blog (omg, how pathetic is that...), and I noticed I say some mean things about the people I work with. I don't mean to come across like a punk assed bitch...It just comes out that way.

To be clear, I love the women I work with in the teller line...but despise the people I work for.

It's A Little Bit Upsetting...

Not to mention deceiving.

I called unemployment. Human Resources claimed I will be eligible for 2 years to claim, since their punk asses downsized me.

Not so. Thanks to President Bush...26 weeks.

Just another reason to hate my job. God, I hate being lied to.

On Some Level, I Did It For Them...

The girls at work were complaining that they needed me last week.

I informed them that if I hadn't gone on vacation...They'd all be dead now...

Heather Hates Me...

I parked on a slope at work again. So I had an itty bitty puddle of gas again. I just washed the gas smell of her yesterday. Maybe it will rain enough to de-stinkify her again.

I am scared to admit what this means. Denial is a powerful thing, I am just going to park in a flat spot for awhile.

You Miss So Much In A Week...

Missy quit whilst I was away. I am ashamed to say that I am happy.

Don't get me wrong. I love her to death and will miss her ghetto drama, but that's less worry for me. No more constant wondering if they are going to let me keep this piddly little job.

Today, I am going to call unemployment and see how long I actually qualify for benefits.

Idol Thoughts...

That title got me thinking about the movie Idle Hands...I love that movie....but anyway.

I am a tv freak and I have been following A.I. pretty closely this season. I have had a little girl crush on Anthony all season. I am sad to say I think he's going home tonight. Even thou, I voted for him a dozen times last night. He's pretty to look at but, he came across as a Clay Aiken wannabee. And he can't seem to shake that.

It's too bad.

Brace Yourself...

Nas is considering firing back at 50 for comments on a record.

And this is big music news? Puhlease...another rap war? Whatever cracker!

She's Crossing Over...

She's one of us now.

Alissa is starting a blog.

The Things I Do For A Friend...

This might actually be their blog debut too... (insert trumpet fan fare)

Kat called tonight. Her and Estin had a huge fight. she left to blow off steam. Came back 30 mins later and he was gone. Hours later still gone. Called me. Asked me to go look for him She didn't want to go, because she wanted to be there in case he came home. Seeing as how boys are predictable, he could only be so many places. So I threw some clothes on and went looking.

He turned up all on his own.

Imagine that.

I Am Not That Into Fish...

A short while ago, Amy lived with Candice. Once upon a time, they pretended to be friends. The roommate situation didn't last long. Mostly due to the fact that Candice is psycho. But we all (Alissa and I), always questioned Candice's clingy behavior. It was always a little too relationshipy for our tastes.

Well, as time ticks on...Candice this week told Amy that she thought I was beautiful. When Amy mentioned my tan, Candice uncomfortably insisted to Amy that I am beautiful. So when Amy passed this info on, I got the heebie jeebies.

It's one thing for a girl to comment to another girl, that yet another girl is pretty. I do it all the time, with no sexual undertones. When a girl you don't know, insists to someone who knows you very well, that you are beautiful; it's creepy.

Like I said...I am not that into fish.

Movie Mumbles...

Picked up a DVD layaway tonight. I have added Breakfast at Tiffany's, Finding Nemo, The Best of Jimmy Fallon (SNL), and High Fidelity to my collection. I love Audrey Hepburn. Well, and Jimmy Fallon (num), and John Cusak (num num).

Totally pumped to see Sin City. It looks super duper cool. Opens this week, run...Not walk to the nearest theatre.

I joined NetFlix this week. I haven't gotten any DVD's yet. They should arrive tomorrow or Thursday, but I already thinks it's the shiz nit. The website says the average person has 6-10 movies is their waiting list after the 1st visit. I have 110 in my waiting list.

Song Of The Moment...

JoDee Messina - My Give A Damn's Busted.

I adore it...

Does Anyone Have The Number For The Swedish Chef...

So at work, I have been assigned to roll loose coin when Laurie is not there (which for one crisis or another...Happens alot).

I hate this machine. First off, Laurie and I are the only ones who know how to use the damn machine. Secondly, all the error messages are in Norwegian! It's a royal pain.

The scary part is...I am beginning to know what the errors mean.

I Thought It Would Be Harder Then This...

It's been really easy adjusting back into my routine. I think the sunny weather has helped. That and having yesterday off.

I have never felt so relaxed on a work night....ever, I think.

So That's Where All My Money Goes...

In the mail today, I got a letter from Hallmark, thanking me for being such a loyal customer. They are proud to announce that I am a prefered customer.

Now I know why I am broke.

You Can Teach An Old Dog New Tricks...

Craig proposed to his live in girlfriend. He and Shelia are planning a fall wedding!

Oh Heather...

She's leaking gas today. I called Dr. Jason and he said it's more then likely that I overfilled my tank. And because I parked on a slope at work, it was just enough to drip out.

But there's a chance it's a rusted gas line. Great!

It's Strange Knowing This...

I have recently discovered that I have 5 readers now!

OMG! What's a girl to do?

What A Bummer...

Saw The Ring 2 tonight with Shawn. Not a great movie. I was so disappointed. I was expecting so much more. I didn't even hardly get the hebbie jebbies.

It's enough to turn me off sequels forever.

Things I Learned On Vacation...

1. The most dreaded word an air travler has ever heard is...delayed.
2. I will always be seated by the screaming baby.
3. You can drink enough to flirt with a stranger. (althou, I didn't wait long enough to see if anything would come of it)
4. Mild turbulance, seldom is mild.
5. When drunk, ask for assistance appling sunscreen. (I have one pink arm, and one tan one.)
6. When you are zoning out listening to your iPod at the gate, you will not notice that your brother slipped Hanson in your playlist until you are humming along tapping your toe to "mMMmbop."

All Good Things Must End...

Sadly, I have reached the end of my little trip. In less then 30 mins, we must pack my stack of luggage and head to the airport.

I am not ready for it to end.

Lani's Mom's friend Wayne, got me an Easter Basket. Isn't that sweet? My own mother isn't getting me one. But I am holding out for Bambi on DVD.

Anyway...Happy Easter!

I am still not ready...

I Can't Believe It's Saturday...

Saturday means Sunday is tomorrow. Like all vacations, it is wrapping up far too fast. This morning Lani and her mother and I are going out to breakfast. Meaning, I should go shower.

Yesterday, we went to the mall. What a dud, I didn't find one thing I couldn't live without. That's a first. Not even a purse.

Well, Lani is dressed already so I better get a move on it.

It's Kinda Funny...

It's hotter then hell today. Lani and I get to the house and make up our minds to head to the beach.

No sooner then we have our suits on, thunder begins to rumble.

Mother Nature can be a real bitch.

Withdrawal Is A B@#$%...

I haven't seen Friends sine Sunday night. I am freaking out!

There Were No Elephants...

Yesterday we went to The Brevard Zoo. And for those who know my tramatic elephant experience....You will be refreshed along with me to say that there were no elephants. It was a really nice zoo thou. Lots of exotic birds. I think my favorite part was this open air butterfly exhibit where they fly everywhere and they are all crazy. It was pretty cool.

We saw Miss Congeality 2 last night. It was so funny, I laughed my ass off.

It's unsure what the plans for today are, maybe the beach...even though, I can't swim...

I don't feel like writing anymore, so I am not.

Happy Heather...

Jason from East Side Auto is my god! (please don't strike me down, I promise to not worship him...too much)

Dr. Jason's diagonsis...A loose alternator belt, and a broken bolt.

Final Cost...Under $50

The Smells Of Summer...

Lani cut the grass tonight and grilled out. I don't think anything has ever smelled sweeter. It gives me hope that summer will eventually arrive in Rhinelander.

Today we drove to Stuart, in search of starfish. We were semi-successful. I did manage to find more stuff for everyone other then me. Drove home along the coast, that was pretty cool.

We went to the manatee center today. Since it's a wild reserve, you take your chances as to whether you see anything. I saw a tire, a sunkist, sprite, and pabst can. Not exactly what I had in mind.

We are not sure as to what we are doing tomorrow. I seem to have hit everything on my list except for dolphins. Too expensive.

Temp was the warmest so far this year...87 and it was glorious. Friday is suppose to be REALLY hot so we are headed back to the beach.

Off I go. Miss you.

And Just When I Thought The Stupidity Had Come To An End...

There is no avoiding the drama from home. My mother called this afternoon/evening. The imfamous little brother has been looking into the Coast Guard. Yes, Lady and Gentleman, I said the Coast Guard. Does he know that any branch of military will involve activity?

What a moron!!!

I Am One Of Them Now...

It's 80 right now...and I am not hot.

Had an easy flight yesterday. Got off the plane and went straight to Disney. Met Mickey Mouse, Buzz Lightyear, Woody, and Pluto. Stood in line like 30 mins at Minnie's house, and got Pluto. I had alot of fun, even with the rain. We went to the Hall of Presidents, Carosuel of Progress, Timetraveler, Pirates of the Carribean, The Country Bear Jamboree, and This Exotic Cruise thing. It was really cool. I saw a lot of stuff and didn't spend all that much for what I brought home.

Today I did the ocean thing. Satly. Salt water taste exactly like you would think...salty water. When we got there, they were flying a yellow flag....by the time we left, they had closed the beach. I am thinking sharks, because the life guards has binoculars attached to their faces after that. But I got my ocean experience....so gobble away good sharks.

Tomorrow, we are going to Stuart. Another beach town. Looking for a star fish.

Ok, off I go...because I am a guest, and it's rude.

Miss you all (both of you who read this)

Well, The Time Has Come...

For my little countdown to come to an end. Today is the day. In a few short hours my 1st flight ever will begin. I am so nervous and excited all at the same time. I think I am nervous, because I really do not want to miss my connecting flight. In my head, I didn't picture making this trip alone, I always thought Amy would be there. But I should have known she'd punk out in the end.

Well, I have to get in the shower, because I have to start waking people up soon. Hope to blog while I am there, otherwise I will call the 2 people that actually read this from Florida over the duration of my trip.

Mwuh! (that's a kissy noise) Love you bye!

I Am So Antsy...

I can't believe it's almost here. I am pretty much ready to go. I have to make one more pass thru the suitcases (yes, I am taking more then one), just to make sure I have everything. I don't see how I could have missed anything. My closet is empty and my dresser is slim pickings.

I will try and blog while I am down there to give to tales of my adventures. I know I am going to Disney World (yahoo!!) and I would really like to go to the Manatee reserve. I have also had my eye on this dolphin cruise. It's a 2 hour cruise (LOL gilligan's island!) to look for wild dolphins. I think that would be so much fun. I won't be able to put any of my pictures up until I get back, but Disney has this photo pass thing, where they station professional photographers all around the park and you have them take your picture and they give you this card with all your information on it....And it's all linked to the website. It's free to look at them, they nail you with the cost when you order prints....But at least you can see them!

Mom said something about me not getting an Easter basket this year and I was devastated. I told her I didn't want a basket, just Bambi on DVD. So every once in awhile I walk past her and whisper "Bambi" and just keep walking. I figure if I do it enough, she'll get the hint.

It's A Conspiracy...

The powers that be are against me. All I wanted as a Care Bear out of the claw machine at Wal-Mart. I had the damn thing too. I think there is an invisble line that ties them in there.

All I wanted was a Care Bear.

I Am A Pathetic Little Girl...

I am sitting here thinking about the new capri's I got (which are a little too long to be called capri's...I think they are more of a high water pant) and the purse my mom bought me (identical to another one...but this one was limeish green ooooo). And all I can think about is the tank top I didn't get.

Hind sight sucks.

What Will I Miss More...

My ever-so persistent momma?

The weather?

Buttons constant whining?

Hmm, I am going with watching Friends.

I Can't Decide What's Worse...

The smell of a fresh shower curtain...

The feel of cleanser residue on your feet from scrubbing the shower...

Or knowing that's what I did at 10 p.m. on a Saturday night?

Consider This My Living Will...

I don't know if I have just been listening to the updates in the Terri Schiavo story, but I got to thinking. Would I want to live like that for a decade? The only answer that I could come up with is that, why live like that and have to have my family hanging on a thread of hope?

If something happens and the doctors can not guarantee my quality of life will return at least 75% , let me go. Don't drag out the inevitable. Don't make it so impossible to let go, that I lay there for years and years. Know that this is what I wanted and have peace.

And while I am thinking of it, internal organs...Don't need them when I am dead. Donate 'em. Let someone else use them for awhile. Just leave my eyes. I think that's creepy.

I know it's not legally binding, but I just want someone to know what I want.

How Sad...

You hear these tragic stories of people being molested by their idols, men killing their pregnant wives, teenagers holding each other hostage for a $50 randsom. The stories that bother me that most are the ones involing small children.

The body of 9 year-old Jessica Lunsford was found early this morning. I don't know if the reason this story makes me sad is because I am going to Florida (the day after tomorrow) or what. But it makes me sad. People like this deserve to die.

For Those Of You Following Along At Home...

Working Hours: t minus: 2 hours, 18 minutes
Real Time: 2 days, 14 hours and 18 minutes.

I Am Glad That They Think It's So Funny...

There are shark alerts along the entire east coast virtually shutting down ocean beach waters. My parents find this delightful. I am so very bummed that on my first trip to Florida, I might not actually get to get in the ocean. And of course, the sharks are south of where I will be staying. I am staying at Ft. Pierce, and if they migrate just right, they will be at Ft. Pierce next week.

I am a little sad.

Countdown...

Just In The Nick Of Time...

8 inches of snow in the forcast. Rain and Sharks are sounding more appealing every second.

I WAS So Proud Of Him...

My little brother had a job for 6 glorious minutes. Shame he didn't actually do anything. He was late...needless to say, his services were not needed.

Great Vacation Plans...

In addition to the rainy forcast, there are shark warnings in affect. So no ocean swimming for this cracker.

The Swimsuit Chronicles...

Swimsuit #2 arrived yesterday. Do I start the annoying exhange process before I leave and be done with it? Or take my time and just let it wait?

The Honda Drama...

As of late Miss Heather has been acting up (there's a shock). Every 3 days or so, her battery light will come on. Like this morning as I am leaving for work. Or last week, at the gas station. In response to this, I must hook up the charger and let it sit. This should not be happening.

So next week, while I am enjoying the rain and the shark warnings, Heather will be getting her guts checked out. Fun, just what I love to do. Spend money on my car.

Countdown...

4 days, 7 hours, 3 mins.

What A Bummer...

It's going to rain when I am in Florida!

Countdown...

For those of you following along at home, That's 70 hours!!!!!

Sometimes You Miss The Little Details...

Saw Constantine again tonight. I liked to just as much the second time. You notice little things the seond time around...like bottles and bottles of holy water.

Saturday Morning Drama...

My car didn't want to start this morning. Very very Cold. I am concerned that it will not start after work today. My mother is itching that if my car doesn't start I might slow down her plans for the day. We are supposed to go to Appleton today. Me having to work, already kind of bugs her. God forbid, I have some car trouble. She was just about beside herself this morning. I had to leave in 5 minutes and she was just about insisting that she drive me, because my car trouble might inconvenience her. THEN GO WITHOUT ME!!!

I want to go, don't get me wrong there. Kat, Shawn, and my precious niece Sami are coming with us, which should be fun. But my mom is going to go grocery shopping and that will take at least 2 hours in the store. That is the only part I am not looking forward to.

I Am The Blogging Queen Today...

The Swimsuit Drama Continues...

So what I didn't make clear, is that they are infact....sending me 2 of the exact same swimsuit. One cost me 74.98, the other 79.99. WTF?!?!?

The first of 2 arrived today.

If this one doesn't fit. I am going to scream.

The Swimsuit Chronicles...

The company called on Monday, telling me that they needed to verify my credit card number for shipping. Well, THEY CHARGED ME TWICE!!!!!!!!! And now, I have been on hold for the last 20 mins, listening to ... "Your call is very important to us. Please continue to hold for the next available representative." And the pisser is that they charged me more the second charge.

I Changed My Mind...

Girls are dumb too.

I used to say that boys were dumb.

I lied.

Banking Lesson For The Day...

If you do not know what a returned check means and what happens after that that check gets returned, you don't deserve a checkbook.

Godzilla Attacks...

The fact that Godzilla has taken up residence in the manager's office, has spurred an employment search.

Does anyone know if Predator is hiring? I heard he was nicer then Godzilla.

Alissa, if you don't get it...I mean like from the movies. I love you, so please don't kill me. teehee.

It's A Bird, It's A Plane...

Nope....It's Godzilla!!!!

That's right, my boss has morphed into Godzilla!

Tiny Japanese men all over the world should shudder with fear because if you have sloppy hand writing or dare to contradict her....She'll come for you.

I really look forward to the weekends I work. I get a day off during the week to myself and I get alot done.

Today was supposed to be that day. My mother didn't go to work today.

Today won't be that day.

And Another Thing...

Why does would be roommate take; hang on a minute, as no way, never?

In True Form...

The would be roommate got her taxes back and of course wants to move right now. And if I don't move right now, she's going to have to move out without me.

And do I need to hold your hand?

Deep Thoughts For Today...

Do you ever sit around and wonder how your life got to be what it is?

Well, this is not at all the way I intended things to be right now. And you know what, I wouldn't have it any other way. I feel really blessed to have the people in my life that I do. I am so very grateful for each and everyone of them. They each give me something that my life was missing before. It's funny how you carefully lay out plans and fate takes over and thats all there is to it.

Thankful.

The Swimsuit Chronicles...

Bought my 1 st new swim suit in like 6 years for my vacation. Got it, and it didn't fit right. Filled out the exchange papers and sent it back. Instead of sending me a new one, they processed a refund. Now the cost of a similar suit has jumped $30.

Water is Deconstructing the Corporate Climate...

So I work in an office of coffee drinkers. Half of us are non-coffee drinkers. One of the upperitymucks said that us non-coffee drinking underlings could keep an air thermos of hot water for our teas and such. Today we were told that yes...we can have that....but it has to be in the breakroom in the basement. While the coffepot is kept in the lobby.

I am being discriminated against because I drink tea.
