Take A Look At My Bits...

Interesting things I have been reading.

I read this article with such a sense of doom.

I swear I read this and it's something to do with David Beckham's career, but isn't he pretty?

Paris is engaged to Paris. And I read in the paper that they want to name their first child...you guessed it...Paris. I think it's a clever plan to not let Nicole out-do her.

So, it's all over the news about 'Deep Throat'. I just can't bring myself to not laugh saying that outloud. I am a filthy little pig.

I'd let him grope me. Ever since I saw him in Heathers, he can do what ever he wants too.

PETA has a spy? It just sounds wrong.

A Tired Blogger...

Easy Like Sunday Morning...

Ok, when you go to bed at 5 a.m. the last thing you need to hear is the phone ringing at 10:30. I promised MM I would help finish the moving/cleaning out of my soon to be house. After many hours, the house is cleaner then when she moved in. At least, I know I don't have to clean before I start unpacking.

During the cleaning process, i watched a bug crawl out of the bathroom sink drain. I immediately left to buy bug fogger. I should now be bug free.

As we were moving the last of the stuff out, it started pouring down sheets of rain. Not fun. Picture trying to lug a punching bag out of someone's trunk in the beating down rain.

MM and Prof Snape's lease is up today. I would imagine they turned the keys in, meaning I could be moving as early as the weekend. And as I don't know a whole lot of people, you are all invited to help. There will be beer, if that sways the vote any.

And bring a truck too.

Take That And Rewind It Back...

So a lot happened this weekend. We are going to take it a day at a time. Starting with Saturday.

I stirred myself out of bed pretty early on Satuday. I was up at 7:15 to make sure that Kiki made it to work on time. I made the call at that time to get my ass out of bed and get the running done in town that I needed to get done. So I was at Wal-Mart, Family Dollar, Goodwill, Dollar Tree (yes, I really am that cheap that I shop at all these places), and the post office all before 10 a.m. I was so proud. I went home and worked on downloading a new CD and and got in the shower. While I was getting out of the shower, my phone started ringing. It was MrsGiggles requesting me to move a little faster and come to meet her. So, I hurried my little tush out the door and just chilled a little bit. We exchanged vacation stuff and she gave both Annie and I incredibly thoughtful housewarming gifts, although mine was a little heavier :-)!!!

I met up with Ray-Ray and S and went to see The Longest Yard. It was pretty funny. We caught some dinner at the chinese buffet. And then we met up with Annie. We headed out to the beachy bar. Hung out there for a few hours shot some pool, shot some darts. Listened to this terrible band, but Ray-ray and S were just rocking out. It was funny. Went to Nowheresberg to a little roadside bar that was busier then the bar we just came from. Met up with Mr and MrsGiggles, the slighty cracked mother in law, and the princess sister. Listened to a band there. They were good. Left there and went to a quiet little ma and pop bar. Left there at bar close.
Now, keeping in mind, it's a 25 minutes drive in nice weather back to Nowhere. I pulled in my driveway at 4:19 a.m. I don't think I have ever been awake when the sun has started to come up. Well, I have been up, but never not been to bed yet. But anyway, that's what happens when the fog is super thick and you have to drive everyone else home.

Now don't get me wrong. I don't mind being the D.D. when it's my turn, but it's been my turn for a year now. It's time to pass the keys on. However, I do know that at the end of the night, everyone is alive and safely passed out in their beds. But sometimes, I just want to be the one passed out in bed.

It's been so busy that it took me all day to type that.

Perhaps...

I have so much to say about my weekend, that I don't even know where to begin.

Perhaps tonight I won't.

That Guy Is Everywhere...

I was watching a little bit of telly, and a Menards commercial came on. I am sure the sales guy in the commerical was William Hung.

It probably wasn't but I enjoyed the chuckle, none the less.

Happy Happy Honda...

I sold it!!! For real!!! Like it's not in my yard. Like I already put the money in my savings! Like I am so happy, because now I have money to go out with my friends from out of town! YAY!!!

*sniff sniff* Farewell Heather!! *gleeful dance*

Celebrity Bits...

Corey Clark is miffed by his very own 'Idol' spoof. Boo-hoo. Notice this guy looks frighteningly like Ali G?

Angelina is telling the world she could never sleep with a marred man, including Brad. Stop the insanity, girl. We all know what's going on there, and we have moved on.

Thursday, May 26, 2005

Talk About What You Know...

That's good advice, because I should always talk about celebrities...

I am number #3 on Yahoo when you search for lindsay lohan and nicole ritchie skinnier. I am so proud of me!

Isn't That A Bummer...

It occurred to me while Annie was professing her excitement for the upcoming move...I am not excited.

It's just another day. I can't seem to remember the last time I really felt excited for anything, other then my vacation.

I don't know what's worng with me. And no, Digi, I don't need you to tell me.

YAY...

I love Carrie!

Although I would have been happy either way.

But how good did she sound with Rascal Flatts?!?!?

Dentally Damned...

I went to the dentist for the first time in 3 years. WHAT WAS I THINKING????

I think I must have set a record for cavities, I won't say how many...but it's between 14 and 17. $3,000 worth of cavities!!!!! He called them 'flossing cavities'. As in...if I had flossed, I wouldn't have cavities. He also says I should consider braces. I am not so sure about that.

Do you have any idea how much floss you can buy with $3,000????

The first appointment is in a week or two and I am having 5 taken care of. That maxes my insurance for the year. So it's going to be a long process.

I've Never...

Ever play that drinking game, "I've Never"? MrsGiggles introduced me to it (and many others, I might add) when we were going to 'school'. My post-secondary education was just what I did when there was nothing on sale, it was rainy outside, or there were no new Beanie Babies. Anyway, after reading on PJS's blog, I am inspired to write my own little list. I was working on a '100 things about me' post, but this is easier for now. Seeing as how I am blocked at 50, I am made up my mind that I am not that interesting and I have no idea why people read this. I mean, all 6 of you have nothing better to do?

Anyway?

Ten Things I have Never Done.

  1. I have never had Rocky Road ice cream.
  2. I have never seen a Star Wars movie from start to finish.
  3. I have never been brave enough to pierce anything other then my ears.
  4. I have never been any further west then the Twin Cities.
  5. I have never been thin.
  6. I have never been white water rafting.
  7. I have never gone home with a stranger after a night of drinking.
  8. I have never been able to stand-up for myself.
  9. I have never lived alone.
  10. I have never missed friends like I do now.

Rest Easy...

I had a fortune teller predict the date of my death once, and it scared me. It isn't far off from where I am now. Today I took a web test and it told me that I won't die until I am 66. That gives me 39 more years then I expected.

Which also made me kind of sad. I have lived out 37% of my life, and what do I have to show?

One Man's Trash...

I completely forgot to mention my 'Goodwill' finds.

I got this really fantastic bowl, new curtains for my soon to be kitchen, and a fantastic Partylite candleholder, for....

$6.29!

I am so proud.

Conversations With Katie...

Most mornings while mulling over my breakfast Katie Couric and I talk a little. It helps ease me into the day. We don't have much to say to each usually. She asks me a question as the lead-in to her story and I respond.

This morning was no different.

"Are you overworked and underpaid?"

"Fuckin' right doggy."

A Glance Back...

The Weekend Recap.

I worked Saturday and from their I went to help MM clean/pack her up. I can't believe it's almost my apartment. We threw and impromptu 'almost' birthday party and I had never laughed so hard in my whole life. And then things took a sharp turn south and it was not fun anymore. But I won't bum you out by filling you in on all that. MM went camera crazy thou and took like 80 pictures. We were pretty silly.

Sunday, I got up early and went to Wausau. See below. Had fun, spent too much. As always.

Today was a really rough day at work. It seems that 3 of us carry the weight of the entire teller staff because of either laziness or spacey-ness (yes that's a word). Kiki, Saltine, and I feel we do most of the work and as a result more gets dumped on us. They expect more of us and that's bullshit. Since we are all equals, we should all carry an equal load.

My schedule for the week must have changed like 4 or 5 times in 10 minutes today. It's funny how much white-out got used in such a small time.

I watch the season finale for Las Vegas tonight. All I can say is ... OMG!!!! And while I am talking about tv, let's talk The O.C. I watched the 1st season religiously. I never missed an episode, well this season I hadn't caught one. Fear not, enter the summer season. They are re-running the entire season this summer!!! YAY for me.

Well, Friends is about to start and I have to go find Pheobe. She's rolling around in her 'kritter ball', and I think she's stuck in a corner.

My Shopping Finds...

I bought this shirt and I paid $4.50.

I bought this lotion and this shower gel and paid $10 for both.

I bought 4 cute little plates (link unavailable) at Target for $1. (and I heard we were getting a Target in Nowhere, WI *see my gleeful dance*)

Movie Mumblings...

Ali G in Da House and Ocean's 12

AGIDH: Funny Stuff!!!

O12: Lots of eye candy, but I liked it better the 1st time I saw it. Laser dance...GOOD!

Meet Phoebe...

I adopted Phoebe the Gerbil on May 22. She's cute and really shy yet. She likes to hide under her playhouse when she sees us coming. I want to try out her 'kritter ball' tonight, but I should just leave her be I guess for a day or two.

Friday, May 20, 2005

Thrusday Treat...

(With hands on shoulders) Oh, those are shoulder blades, I thought they were wings.

Weekend Outlook...

Friday Night: Ali G in Da House. If I don't watch that right now, I am going to be beat down. And Ocean's Twelve. It's also laundry night!!! And I might just wash my car.

Saturday: Duh! I work of course. Then off to MM's place to help her do something or other. She called very late and I was half asleep. And I am probably going to watch The Last Samurai.

Sunday: I am going gerbil shopping!

Don't you feel enlightened now?

I Feel...

So dejected by our little lemony friend.

The Future Concerns Me...

Lindsay Lohan in Misson: Impossible 3?

Kelsy Grammar in X:3?

Topher Grace as the villian in Spider-Man 3?

I am concerned for the future of 3 of my favorite movies.

The Little Lemon...

Our Little Lemony friend has posted!!!!

Or Then Again, Maybe Not...

Ok, I thought I had sold the Honda. This girl came over last week to see the car, said she would get back to me. She called yesterday and asked if she could take the car to Auto Zone. Ok by me, except she never showed. Today she called and asked if she could come over and look at the car, showed up and made an offer. Said she was coming back with the cash after I got off work.

3 hours later, I am still waiting...

It wouldn't be so bad except I keep cancelling plans to meet her and she never shows.

If I didn't need the money I would tell her where to stick it.

The Happy Honda Dance....

I sold that piece of crap!!!

And not a moment too soon, casheish was needed.

Idol...

So, last night was tough. I am still bitter so the Vonz has got to go!!!!

And the Idols Live tour is coming up too. If I go Digi, will officially disown me.

When The Cat's Away...

Godzilla and her evil-doing minion are at meetings for a good portion of the day.

So with the exception of The Grinch being here, I anticipate a pretty good day.

Tuesday, May 17, 2005

This Is Cool...

For the record, I so want to be buried with my iPod Shuffle cranked up and playing Goo Goo Dolls Acoustic #3. And if I ever get a new ditigal cam, I am so taking pictures of the traveling iPod.

Get That Girl A Big Mac...

Lindsay Lohan thinks she's fat...

That shit is bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S, bananas.

She's so thin she's misgusting. She and Skeletor (aka Nicole Ritchie, who I thought used to be adorable) need to eat some "bad carbs".

Swims With The Fishes...

Due to an aquatic accident (again), my cell phone is non-operational right now.

If you need me, and you know you do, you can reach me at home.

I Am Not So Sure About That...

MM said something when we were at Ray-Ray's that kind of sat funny with me. Ray-Ray's husband asked when I was moving in and I said "As soon as this one moves out." She turned around and said..."I have no intention of turning over my keys until the 30th, I have paid rent for that." Ok, I do understand it, but when you are living in your new place...and have been for like 2 weeks...FREE until June 1st, and you know your friends (who have paid for June 1st) can't move in until SEVEN DAYS after you are gone, I would do my best to hurry and let them move in.

I do understand, but I would handle it differently for friends then strangers.

Say Farewell...

The Citric Critic has left us :(

Busy, Busy, Busy...

I am tired and need to get to bed, so here goes...

Got up at a pretty decent hour, showered, watched some Friends (duh), Went to the Y with Ray-Ray, went to lunch with Ray-Ray (I had a Seafood omelette), ran a few errands with Ray-Ray, Picked up MM, Went to Wal-Mart to pick up Squidward and PS, back to their apartments, Back to Wal-Mart to drop the boys back off, Shopped at JCPennys, Fashion Bug, and Payless, Drove out to Ray-Ray's to drop something off and pick something up, Headed to Home Depot, Got a call from S, went to Aldi's, back to mom's to snarf some cheddar cheese broccoli soup, ditch MM, meet S, watch movie, ditch S, head back to MM to apologize for horrible behavior, boys tried to tell me it's ok to ditch friends in the chance for sex (ala Friends Season 7, The One with All the Cheesecakes), I don't think this is ok, rearranged some of MM new cupboards with her, head home, cater to mom's every whim, ditch her...now I sleep.

No puctuation means all in one breath but you knew that.

Movie Mumblings...

Ok, after being a bad friend (I will get to that later), S and I went and saw Unleashed. I like Jet Li as much as the next girl, we can appreciate the beauty in what he does, but it just isn't there for us in the end. SO not the case with this movie. I LOVED IT!! It had a PLOT!!! Who knew Jet Li could act???

Almost more exciting, I saw the previews for Domino (shivers with excitement), Fantastic 4 (OMG), *insert fanfare* Land of the Dead (dances in zombie movie glee).

I love the summer movie season!!!

Movie Mumblings...

This weekend I watched The Spongebob Squarepants Movie and I'm Gonna Git You Sucka.

SB: I took my neice and nephew to see this for me niece's 6th birthday. I liked it alot more when I was sitting in between a couple of little kids.

IGGYS: I watched it because Saltine made me watch it. It was funny enough, but not great. Although, Chris Rock was very entertaining.

Saturday, May 14, 2005

You Are All Invited...

It's not even 9 pm on a Saturday night and I am considering going to bed.

Flash Forward 20 years, I am going to be throwing birthday parties for my 17 cats, and you are all invited. That's as long as you promise not to spill any prune juice on my plastic covered furniture.

And A New Addiction Is Born...

Popularity Contest on CMT. Strangely addicting.

It's An Empty Feeling...

Tonight, I am lonely and feeling a bit nostalgic. I miss my friends that I haven't seen in ages, I miss the 'old days'. I am getting ready to leave my childhood home. Lots I am going to miss. Lots to look forward to. But as I am packing up all my memories, you don't think about the road ahead, you think about the path you left behind. It's hard to think about which memories are important enough to take with you, and which can be left behind. If I leave it behind, will I forget the emotions that particular moment in time made me feel? How is one memory more important then the other?

As I was taking a picture of Annie and I out of a frame that had a little bitty rust spot on it, I found a picture I had forgotten I had even had. I stared at it and things just came back. I thought about high school friends I had. Some I wish were still around, others...well, not so much. Then I started thinking about the really great people I met tinkering in post-high school eduction. Some of them stayed around, others ... not so much. I would like to think the experiences I had after high school made me who I am today.

Then I think about that 1st job, and how much I didn't do. And then that next job, that I stuck with for longer then I expected. And their complete lack of concern of people, which led to my complete lack of caring for them. And then my current job. Led me to some really great people and memories. I used to love what I did, until I was downsized. The complete lack of concern for people, led to my complete lack of caring for them.

But looking back, I wouldn't change one thing. If I hadn't met the people I have met, or worked the places I have worked...I might have missed out on all the little things that have given me a thousand happy memories. I can see where if you take out or change one element of my life that I am unhappy with, I lose 100 tied to it that I just couldn't give up. Like if I had gone away to school, I might not have ever met Mr and Mrs Giggles. If I had never quit that second job, I wouldn't be going to visit twin babies, or mourning with friends over pets.

Most of my possessions are in boxes now. Neatly stacked, clearly labeled, and tightly sealed. Some boxes I might not open again, some boxes will be donated to become someone else's memories, and some will be opened time and time again. It's just hard to figure out which box goes in which stack.

Has It Been A Year...

Anyone who really knows me, knows that I am a fanatic Friends watcher. It's a safe bet that on any given day if you open the tray on my DVD player, it's a Friends disc.

Well, in honor of the one year anniversary of the finale, I want to know you favorite Friend.

Mine is easily Chandler. I mean, come on! Did you see the Chandler in a box episode?

God, I am a dork.

I Am A Slave...

to my television.

Mondays: Vegas on NBC
Tuesdays: American Idol on FOX
Wednesday: Alias on ABC/A.I. on FOX
Thursdays: Must See TV on NBC (old habits die hard)
Fridays: Movie Night!
Saturday: SNL on NBC
Sunday: Race Day and Crossing Jordan on NBC

My friends tell me that real life is more important when I try and ditch them for TV, but then again, I am not used to having real friends.

The Moving Chronicles...

PACKING BITES ASS!

Ann Coulter Fans...

In an effort to cater to those Ann Coulter freaks who end up here, I present to you, the very first post especially for you.

This is scary.

Big News, Small Town...

In my tiny little town of Nowhere, Wisconsin, seldom does interesting news ever appear. However, today's leading story may be the exception.

The SWAT team was dispatched early this morning. A few blocks of town were closed to traffic because it's evidently bad to have people driving through an area covered with officers with high-powered assault rifles. At any rate, I guess it was over a guy threatening to kill himself.

That's right, we have discovered the answer to suicide, shoot them.

The paper reports that the situation was resolved without incident. I however disagree. I guess in my mind, cops with assault rifles, is incident.

Other stories, Man gets 12 years in prison for connection in murder case (our 2nd murder is as many years), And Judges clears officers of any wrong doing in shooting (it was the same situation as today...suicide attempt.)

EWW GROSS...

Women with mullets....yuck

A Kiki Deficiency...

Kiki is off today, so it will be a markbait and shenanigan free day...maybe

Twice The Cheese...

I missed a few weeks Kiki informed me, so as promised....2

Idol...

I am at a loss for words. Did anyone really think Anthony was going home tonight? I thought for sure after his fantastic showing last night. He had one more week.

I am so sad.

Movie Mumblings...

The Interpreter: So cool. I dug it. Diggage ensued. I never cared much for Sean Penn, I have new fond respect for him now. Still don't give a rats ____ about Nic Kidman. 4 out of 5 stars

Idol Thoughts...

ANTHONY!!!! I dug him!

Webster Says...

According to websters.com, grief is described as:

Deep mental anguish, as that arising from bereavement.

It can strike you in unexpected ways and bring forth unimaginable emotions.

Today, Rocky past away. He suffered from a condition that basically meant his throat was in the wrong place. He shouldn't have last as long as what he did. No one was aware of this until today when he went to the vet for abnormal behavior. After going in for surgery, the vet put him to sleep. He was a loyal dog to MM and PF for about 18 months.

I feel a bit an ass because, I blew off meeting MM tonight to go to a movie with S. After the movie, I stopped at her new place to repent for my sins. We sat on the floor and held each other and cried. Squidward came over and we just sat on the floor crying with MM and held her and let her cry.

He wasn't even my dog, but I loved him so. My heart goes out to her tonight.

One In Every Three...

Marriages end in divorce. I can't believe I am actually pulling for this one.

I feel heartbroken and betrayed.

I Feel Squidgy...

I have never been more excited to see a movie then I am right now. Everybody (except MrsGiggles, who doesn't look movies that are visably dark) loved The Nightmare Before Christmas. Well, Tim Burton is back.

On September 23, I will be racing to see Corpse Bride. Insert gleefulness here.

And thanks to PJS, for the heads up. His blog is cool....wander over.

I Am Normally Not All Into That...

Ordinarily, I could give a crap about a celebrity's opinion. They are there to entertain me, nothing more, nothing less. Until I came upon this. I was a passer-by (??) until I saw one name. John Cusack. My favorite actor is a blogger. pitter patter goes my heart.

I Would Hate To Be All In Your Face...

But this is just ironic with all the Foxfire talk. But everyone has glitches....so I am not being all cocky....just informing the dozen people who read me regularly.

I Need Some Inspiration...

I want to make changes to my blog template (or have digi do it more appropriately)...

Suggestions please...

Happy Mother's Day...

*Cue Jimmy Fallon Bit*

If you haven't seen the Jimmy Fallon Best of SNL DVD, go to the video store right now. It's funny.

But anyway, it was a nice day. My mom was a bit of a crap weasel when she opened my gift, kind of made me feel like shit. She has apologized alot for it. I figure I can get alot of miles out of this one should I be so inclined. The brothers were over. Knocked a badmitton birdie around a little, an enjoyable time was had by all.

My mother just made a comment that to avoid an outporing of tears (which will happen yet), I did not ask about. "It was nice to have you all here today. This will probably the last year that happens on Mother's Day." Ok, I can't help but feel this is a comment about me moving. I am moving 8 blocks away, Digi lives like 6 blocks away. Ok Bubba, does live in IL. But she makes me feel like I am moving to Alaska or something. It might just all be in my head. It's likely a lot goes on in there.

Movie Mumblings...

I watched Meet the Fockers, Collateral, and Out of Time.


MTF: I saw it in the theatre with my parents when it came out. It's funny enough. I giggle in all the parts I am supposed too, but I think the first one was funnier.

Collateral: What took me so long to see this movie? It was sooo good. I just loved it. It's was candid, raw and in your face. More movies need to be made like this. Well, not exactly like this...that might get kind of old.

OOT: I like Denzel, but this was weak. I say this alot...it was solidly ok. Nothing great, but interesting enough to keep me interested. I do like Eva Mendes thou. She is one of my favorite actresses.

I might try and watch Girlfight yet tonight.

Some Things Never Change...

My little brother is home for the weekend.

Still bugs me, still needs to learn how to shave, still a cocky racist redneck, mom still favors him.

In his defense, he has lost some wieght.

The Moving Chronicles...

Now that I have emailed everyone I know, it's official. We signed the lease today. After Meow Mix and Prof Snape move out, we have to give the landlord 7 days to do some light repairs, change the locks...you know, landlordy type things.

I am hoping that we will be able to get to move in prior to the 1st of the month, but we will see how that works out.

I have been packing one box a day now...today it took the biggest box I had to pack my purses.

This moving thing might be a good thing, suddenly everyone is bugging the hell out of me.

Friday, May 06, 2005

That's A First, Even For Me...

I am not going to tell you the whole story...I want your dirty little minds to kick into overdrive...

But today I tried to lick cake frosting off Kiki in the lobby for all to see.

The Keys To Life...

Have you noticed that your progression in life can be marked by keys...

13 - You are finally old enough to be trusted with your own house key
16 - Keys to your first car
17 - Keys to someones heart
17 - Keys returned
18 - Keys to your first apartment
21 - Keys to your first new car
23 - Keys to your office
25 - Keys to someones heart (to keep)
25 - Keys to your first house

And suddenly, you are back at the begining again...and giving your child their first set of keys.

And then I look at this and see how far off course I have gotten.

The Moving Chronicles...

I have just made up my mind. I am done with the moving drama. I am going to do things my way. That's how I got here now, and if my way doesn't appeal to everyone else....

F%^@ off. And then I will sick my little lemon friend on them to squirt them in the eye.

Won't Find Best Dressed Lettuce On This List...

Check out the best and worst of super hero costumes.

The Moving Chronicles...

I am moving...

Sign the lease on Saturday. The anxeity is setting in now. Trying to be really excited, but it's hard.

Maybe I will be better in the morning.

Increased Enlightenment...

So, I figured it all out. How to make it through the work day that is. I have a couple of options. Help me choose the best course of action.

  1. I could steal the fax machine and take it to a field and smash it to bits.
  2. I could steal all the staplers.
  3. I could just stop going, and maybe then I can get a little recognition.
  4. I could just light the buidling on fire
  5. Or embezzle fractions of pennies at a time.

Can you guess what movie I watched last night?

A Little Sunshine...

My nephew Mikey just came in. Little rays of sunshine to brighten my day.

Digi's ex...got picked up at the bar the other night....She is dating the guy now I guess.

My b!tch supervisor, apologized for my crap schedule. I guess I will be working every weekend from now until the end of time. Wonderful. I have 3 this month. And not even decent enough to schedule me on the weekend my little brother is here. How I am going to avoid him?

She Is Out To Get Me Today...

Another email from my supervisor.


For the month of April you did not have a closed referral, there will not be a payout to you.
Hang in there and keep on trying.


Thank you for reminding me that I am not working hard enough.

Now Accepting Applications...

I am planning on going on Saltine's tri-state killing spree. I have some pent of aggressions to work out.

I am accepting applications for accomplices (sp) and canidates.

Isn't That Just A Slap In The Face...

This is the email I got from my supervisor today.

It has been brought to my attention by an Officer, that you ignored a customer on Saturday (April 30) morning. If someone comes
thru the drive-thru and if they are a few minutes early accomadate the customer. If we lose customers by them being
ignored we will never get them back. Without customers we do not have jobs. They must come first.
If you have any questions or concerns contact me.

Alright, let the ranting begin. First off, there where 2 people here. They won't single out The Grinch, but it's ok to single me out. Instead of saying something to both of us about the situation...The other person working, gave me up, when she was just as involved as I was. Secondly, I know who ratted me out. There were only 3 people in the building that day.

And what's the point of having hours anyways, if customers can just show up whenever. Urgh.

Current Favorite Tune...

To listen to while driving.

Train - Get It Me.

It's in some cheesy cellphone commerical, but I love it.

How Good Are You...

With a mouse?

Crusie on over to Digi's MS Paint-Off and get entered today. Myself and Mark are additional judges.

This might be your shot at Blogger fame.

The Moving Chronicles...

I am having an episode. In my mind because I haven't heard from the landlord yet, that means I am not getting the place. But then again, I am impatient and after all, I did only give his wife the applications Monday afternoon. I just have to learn to wait.

I Really Don't Think This Is The Case At All...

For you Nascar fans who watched Talladega this weekend and saw 'The Big One', probably know that it was Jr's fault that 1/2 the feild got taken out. The flurry of finger pointing has been hard to keep track of. Jr is saying it's all Johnson. I don't think it was any one driver's fault. Johnson, Jr, Truex were allr acing like a bunch of asses. But Jr, was riding the bump draft a little hard....and he bumped someone....and that driver bumped another driver....25 cars when the dust settled.

Idol Thoughts...

My beloved Anthony is going home. He did ok, (and trust me I hate to say this) but Scott was better. I am sickened by the fact that he might actually win. Bo rocked it out again last night!!! Carrie did much better then I expected. I am totally pulling for Bo after Anthony gets broomed.

Be sure to tune into Idol on FOX at 9/8c to see who goes in. And then flip over to ABC at 10/9c to see the Primetime Live American Idol cover-up story.

Tuesday Wrap-Ups...

While it's still Tuesday, I thought I would give the low down on my day.

Work, was....well, work. If it wasn't for Kiki and Saltine, I would have left ages ago. They make it all bearable.

Picked up Meow Mix after work and we ran errands. Went to this new antiques store. I found this glasses like we used to have when I was a kid, and I had to have them. They are these kick ass Smurf glasses. A little pricy but so worth it.

Listed my Honda in the paper. ByeBye Heather.

Got a haircut I hate. Maybe it's just how she styled it. Let's see what I can do in the morning with it.

Went to dinner at Country Kitchen. $3.99 burger baskets on Tuesdays!!

Ray-Ray dropped some stuff off for me today....lots of glasses...some nice pots and this bad assed electric skillet. I am pumped about that!!

Well, I am off to watch my American Idol tape. TTFN!!

Rats, Foiled Again...

Lost out on the teller payout AGAIN THIS MONTH. Why?, you ask. Stupid referrals. It's very hard to get referrals as a drive-trhu teller.

Shameless Advertising...

Visit Ray-Ray's pet supply store for all your pet care needs.

Poor Thing...

I think Buttons, my beloved toothless cataracted poodle, might be on her last leg....literally. Tonight Ray-Ray and I hung out for a little bit and when I came home...Buttons just wasn't right. She tried to come and greet me and it's like her back legs just wouldn't let her. They were twitching and it's like she just couldn't get going. And then she was kind of walking sideways.

I am scared for her.

The Moving Chronicles...

I got the apps for the apartment today. I made Annie come to town early and fill it out so I could mail it out. And who should come thru the drive-thru as the very next customer....the new land lord's wife. I was able to give her the applications. She is someone I have known for a long time and seemed really thrilled that it was me that was the interested tenant. I ma pumped this is really going to happen.

I might not be able to eat....but....it's diet time I guess. Just watch for the "Feed Junegirl" food drive boxes to appear at your local grocery store.

Random Thoughts...

So I was crusing other blogs, and came across a post the read like this...

"Today our book club met. We watched The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy..." I think someone needs to explain what books are.

I found a blog that was an advertising page and it was for an audio book entitled, A Chicken's Guide to Talking Turkey with your kids about Sex." I just thought it was funny.

You must go here right now. You will find interesting celebrity gossip like this. My little girl dreams are shattered.

You Just Can't Plan This Crap...

Last night, Annie, Digi, his girlfriend Dolly and her friend Hanna and I ventured out to our favorite bar. Sillyness ensued. Our favorite bartender was there and recommended a new drink. Wahoo! Passion Fruit Malibu and OJ. Quite tasty for a fluffy girly drink. Well, we are all having a good time, the drinks are flowing, and I look in my teeny tiny purse and see that I am going to need cash soon. And since I left my check card at home, I had to run home and get it. Well, while I was at home, I mentioned something or other to my mother that must have struck a chord with the whole Annie situation. Since their little arguement, Annie and my mom have been on less then fvorable terms, but Annie has slowly been working her way back in. Well, she was here for a little bit on Friday and last night prior to our bar goings, and I assumed that if she (or I) had too much to drink that she would be staying here to avoid having to figure out how to get her car back to her house (10 miles outside of town). Well, I was informed that she was not staying here and that I had better make sure she had other plans. WONDERFUL! When I left the bar, she had already downed her second drink and was on her third, and it was still early. So slightly pissed I headed back to the bar, not needing anymore cash, because I wasn't drinking anymore. Because, I wanted to make sure everyone made it home safe.

So anyway, so as not to alert anyone to my foul frame of mind and the fact that I am not drinking, I instasntly begin drinking orange juice. Looks and smells the same, so no one has any clue. I am back not 10 minutes and this guy staggers up to me. Now, don't get me wrong, I haven't been staggered up to in a long time, so it was somewhat flattering, but he was a drunk middle aged man. Ummm, no. So his opening line is, "What's your name?" Unsure of whether or not he is my customer, I ask him to guess. (This is where it gets funny) After some drunking mumblings on his part, I polietly introduce myself as Brenda. Annie's mouth hits the table. Digi introduces himself as my brother Robert, and I introduce Annie as my roommate Heather. I immediately excuse myself to the bathroom thinking that me leaving will just clean the whole situation up on it's own. When the girl you are trying to pick up, walks away 3.5 seconds into the games, you would think the message would be pretty clear. Nope, still there when I got back. So I walked over and as soon as he started talking to me I walked away again. Digi calls me back because he needs a refill and someone has to watch the table. Still there. He is rambling on about something and between his mumbles, and the DJ I can't here anything. So I end up introducing, Dolly as Cecila and Hanna introduced herself as Betty Rubble. She was ok until she added the rubble part. So after convincing him that we weren't pulling a fast one, Dolly had the DJ page Betty to help our case. And I just told him to chalk it up to drinking. Well, if this guy ever gaves us his name, I never heard it, but he did ask for my number. I gladly forked over my favorite lunch time eatery's number. I almost feel sorry for him, because he never had a chance. Meanwhile, Digi is still gone, and I am still left to fend for myself for this guy. When he finally reappears, I take off...I use this chance to buy the girls a round of shots. Digi, being the dotting brother he is, trys to tell the guy it's not happening. Drunk man doesn't get it. So he finally has to say, "You are creeping her out, but let me buy you a beer as a goodwill gesture." Well, he comes over and says, "Since I am creeping you out, I am going to go. But I will call you when you aren't all drunk." LOL ok you do that. Well, I bought everyone a round for being such good sports. They earned it.

I saw my friend, who just happens to be Digi's ex, get picked up by a guy waaaay out of her league. She actually left with the guy!! I was impressed on some level, he was pretty damn good looking.

We tried to make a love match between Annie, and Digi's friend, George. And I gotta admit, that I was damn pleased that Annie gave him her phone number when it was time to go, but I don't think she's getting a call. But gotta give the girl props.

Well, we went back to the house for a little to hang out, Annie was cool to drive, but I just wanted to make sure. I shake my mother's toe like I do everytime when I come home. And tell her that Annie is here and she isn't staying. She claims that the only reason I brought Annie back to the house is because I was hoping she woulf forget nd let her stay and that if she stayed it was going to cost me $30! Excuse me, does she think that spare bedroom is that nice? Where does she pull that number from? Anyway, I was super pissed. After their big fight, she sat there and told me that she would never say that Annie couldn't be in my space. The space I pay rent to live in. She said she would never do that and here she was doing it. Well, Annie really had no intentions of staying after she made some comment at the bar about me ordering orange juice, I told her that my mother had requested that she make it home safely. But still, I was annoyed with the whole situation. I booted Annie pretty quick, because I just wanted to go to bed and forget it all. Needless to say, I was happy that my mom wasn't here when I woke up this morning.
