Easy Like Sunday Morning...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Wanna play carnival? You sit on my face and I guess how much you weigh.
The Dynasty Dilemma...
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...
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.

Movie Mumblings...
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...
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 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...
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...
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...
Interesting...
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...
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?

None For You...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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)

A Big Day...
Let's all gather around for story time, and I'll tell you why.
A few years ago, I made a string of bad choices involving my credit. I have been paying my dues and struggling for quite awhile now to fix my sins. I paid off all my collections, closed those credit cards, and such. I have had one lingering issue out there. I had a charge off on an in-store credit account. And for those of you who don't know, a charge-off sends you to credit hell for a very long time.
Well, turns out that having my transmission go out was a small blessing. The competing financial institution that financed my loan tacked on the amount of the charge-off so I could clear that up. Don't even get me started on the fact that the bank I work for, won't finance for employees.
So today, with a big smile and I light step, I release myself from credit hell. For the first time in my life, I feel like I some day might be a homeowner. Or at the very least, the next time my car dies...I can probably buy new.
I am pretty darn pleased with myself today.

**UPDATED**An Almost Birthday...
Squidward took me for a really nice dinner at the local chinese place. Num Num.
MM and Prof Snape got me a really cute purse and a ZOMBIE MOVIE!!!!
Annie got me the milk frother that I wanted.
And they made my favorite...red velvet cake. OMG IT WAS SO DELISH!!!!!!
Pictures of my super cool gifts to follow. I am so spoiled. I think tonight is scrapbook lessons with MM, and tomorrow, I think Squidward will be joining Digi, The Girlfriend and I out into the world of bars. Should be interesting.
**Update. 1.55 p.m. I forgot to mention that because they know I am a little freaked about turning 25. They bought numbered candles for 21. So, Happy 21st to Me!!!

Movie Mumblings...
Sahara: No thumbs, I fell asleep
The Wedding Date: Thumbs way up for semi-nakkie boy
Just Like Heaven: Thumbs up. I'm a girl, what can I say. Love Reese.
Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of The Were-rabbit: Thumbs down. A kids movie for sure. Not great, but better then Spirit was.
My Own Royal Decree...
I hereby proclaim today to be the official start of my birthday season. The festivites will run thru Monday evening.
Double Your Pleasure....
(Use index finger to call someone over then say) I made you come with one finger, imagine what I could do with my whole hand.
If you and I were squirrels, could I bust a nut in your hole?

The Verdict...
I am going to have to think about my plan of attack, because I already owe the guy $200 for towing.
Squidward suggested we have a party. Using the beverages so wonderfully donated by the Digi family, we would charge a small surcharge for cups.
Kiki, Mrsgiggles, Meow Mixxx and I could provide the entertainment...
Who's in??? I think we can make this work!
The Dynasty Dilemma...
After an uneventful shopping trip, we were on the way home.
45 miles from home, I notice I am having trouble accelerating. To the point that I had it floored, and not a whole lot was happening. 10 seconds later, loud noise under the hood. I instantly pull over (well duh), and see smoke rolling out from under the hood. Pretty sure my transmission is shot.
Long story short. I sat on the side of the freeway for roughly 2 hours waiting for tow trucks and additional transportation. Well, after a slight misunderstanding with the tow company (and alot of obscentites from me) my car was on it's way back home. The shame of it all is that at $2/mile, having it towed home will roughly cost me $225.
It's at Dr. Jason's now. For those of you who were here back in the day, Dr. Jason is my car guy. Worked wonders on Heather the Honda. When I called him this morning to let him know what was up, he said he'd call me back once he got under it, but it didn't look good.
I don't have the best luck with cars at all. I have NEVER had a car last me more then 6 months. EVER. I am were cars go to die evidently. Would be nice thou if this one was paid off.
Still waiting to hear from the good doctor. But I am kinda freaking out. All these things are going thru my head. How can I go grocery shopping? What about the laundromat? And how about my shift in Chicken Creek on Friday....30 MILES AWAY!!!
Well, as far as Chicken Creek, let me tell you why I love Digit. When I was basically crying a river telling him my sad stroy. The man steps up to the plate and offers to drive me TO AND FROM Chicken Creek, so my office doesn't have to completely re-do the schedule. I love him. Sometimes I feel like, he is the only family member I can count on.
So that's my sad story. I am all about the drama. I make it so much worse in my head then it really is. I'll be better tomorrow.
So Juicy wants a car for her birthday instead of all that crap I asked for.
Tonight I Wanna Cry...
Really sad song.
Deets to follow tomorrow when I hear from Dr. Jason.

Donate Often...
The night was pretty good on average. I mean, there were a few scary spots involving a very honest but foot-in-mouth moment from Squidward. And once people are here, they don't like to leave, except of course the ones that were invited to stay.
A few highlights include:
-My bed's max. capacity inched up to 5. We were shooting for 9.
-Some creative decorating with fake spiderweb. At one time we webbed Kiki into her apartment.
-Digi finally saw the 'Bird Dance'.
-Someone (me) may haven driven thru my own yard to use the neighbors driveway, as I didn't feel like backing out of mine.
-I was in bed with Squidward...and Digi...(it wasn't dirty I swear).
-In a single sentence, 3 people were insulted.
-We did discover...brand new blender...doesn't work. It exploded and blender bits went everywhere.
-MM learned you can drink lemonade, Passion Fruit Malibu, vodka, and melon liqouer straight from the pitcher it was mixed in. (She wins the drunk award for the week)
-The game Catch Phrase is better drunk.
-This is the description given to egg plant. It's a dairy product that's a plant. Lil Boy gets second place in the drunk awards.
-'You be quiet now' is the best phrase ever.
It was 4 when I finally got to bed. And of course, the phone rang at 6 and I had company by 7. And I was out the door before 9 for the local scrapbook convention.
All in all a good time was had by all, but I did learn that some friends just don't mix.

The Hazy Days Of Banking...
So, anyways a young woman comes in today with her little change jar. As I am sorting it over, just making sure the non-coin junk doesn't jam up the machine, I came across the following...
1. 2 screws
2. 1 Nail
3. 1 washer
4. 2 roach clips
5. 3 bar chips
6. ...wait, what?
That's right. Drug paraphernalia. I called my branch manager in the coin room and had the following conversation.
"Her Grinchiness, what do you do when you find paraphernalia in the change?"
"You mean, like Canadian coin?"
"No, like drug."
*Cue jaw dropping, a giggle or two, and a moment of pondering*
"Give it back and suggest the customer sort their change before bringing it in."
The look of horror on the young woman's face was the funniest thing I have seen all week.

More Then I Can Take In One Day...
TomKat spawn? May The Gods help us.
Lindsay Lohan crashed again! And blamed photogs again.
Country Baby Mama Drama. If can't write a song out of this, there's no hope for him.
Jessica and Nick are not splitting up. I know this was weighing on your mind. But then again, didn't Renee say she was happily married to Kenny the day before she filed papers?
Let The Rain Fall Down...
The heavens have opened and might never close again. It has been raining H.A.R.D for about an hour now.
It crackled some pretty decent lighting as well. One hit pretty close. So close in fact that one lender blames the lighting for the unexplainable amount of water on the men's room floor.
"When that lighting hit, I think the toliet exploded..." is something like what the conversation went like.
I think he has 'control' issues and this was his way of covering....
Last night in the pouring down rain, I learned that I have a leak in the roof on my porch. With the way it's raining right now, I think I might have a small pond on my porch today. I don't have a mop, so I am scared to go home and see how bad it is.

Why I Love It Here...
The high today is 78 with an over bearing humidity.
Thusrday's forcast is snow.
Potentially...
difference between potentially and realistically?"
The father thought for moment, then answered, "Go ask your mother if she would sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars." "Then ask your sister if she would sleep with Brad Pitt for a
million dollars, and then, ask your brother if he'd sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars. Come back and tell me what you learn from that."
So the boy went to his mother and asked, "Would you sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars?"
The mother replied, "Of course I would! We could really use that money to fix up the house and send you kids to a great University!"
The boy then went to his sister and asked, "Would you sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars?"
The girl replied, "Oh my God! I LOVE Brad Pitt I would sleep with him in a heartbeat, are you nuts?!?!?! "
The boy then went to his brother and asked, "Would you sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars?"
"Of course," the brother replied. "Do you know how much a million bucks would buy?"
The boy pondered the answers for a few days, then went back to his dad. His father asked him, "Did you find out the difference between potentially and realistically?"
The boy replied, "Yes... Potentially, you and I are sitting on Three Million Dollars..............
but Realistically,......... we're living with two sluts and a queer

A Pleasant Suprise...
If you knew my family, you'd fine that surprising.
I went for 2 walks tonight. My second was far better then the 1st, but the company made the difference.
Kiki started moving in tonight. Exciting for her.
I can't explain the feeling of dread I have tonight, so I am hoping I can sleep it off.

Burgers, Bears, and Bondage...
The evening included:
-Harmless flirting with strangers
-Grilling out in dark (haven't done that in years)
-Alcohol (god bless Boone's Farm)
-Bridal Veils (there's a very attractive picture of Digi in one)
-A bowl of 'treated' gummi bears
-Cowboy Hats (there's a very attractive picture of Digi in a pink cowboy hat)
-Alcohol (cue Hypnotic)
-Not so innocent flirting
-Riding crops, fuzzy handcuff and other assorted light bondage toys
-My bed reached it's max capacity at 4
-Beer
-Zombie movies
-Cuddling while watching zombie movies
The night ended around 2.30 this morning. 7 came really early. But I had a lot of fun. So it was worth it. But noon seems a long way off from sitting at my desk.
The rest of the weekend looks pretty busy too. After work, I am going to pick up my niece Sparky. Since this weekend, might possibly be the last nice weekend of the season, we are probably going to wander on up to MrsGiggles' parent's camper to partake in camp type things.
Sunday morning, MM and the usual cast will be present for the weekly breakfast. S and J will be coming over for movie night. We might possibly see the debut of Pookie.
