Not too sure about this one--
| You Are Big Black Boots! |
 You can be best described as: attitude You've got lots of it - and you love to give it A guy has to be pretty gusty to hit on you But if he's your type, you'll warm up... a little |
I could not HATE this decade more. WTF?!
| Your Style is 1980s |
 Bright colors, bigger than life patterns, and outrageous fashions. Your fashion style always has a retro yet futuristic edge. |
| You Are a Flashy Red Bra! |
 Outgoing, friendly, and fascinating. You're a charmer, with your pick of the men. But you want a man who's as magnetic as you are. You need someone who can keep up with your all night gab fests! |
| You Are Artemis! |
 Brave, and a natural born leader. You're willing to fight for what you believe in... And willing to make tough decisions. Don't forget - the people around you have ideas too! |

| You Should Be With a Water Sign! |
 Your best match is a Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces Why?

| You Are a Fierce Femme |
 You have a wild side, and you aren't afraid to bring it out when the time is right. But you also know when to hang back and keep your "crazy chick" persona in check.

Now I just have to find a groom! :)
| You Will Be a Modern Bride! |
 While you aren't ready to throw away all wedding tradions, you want a wedding with a twist You're more inspired by celebrity weddings on E! than from bridal magazines Whether this means getting married on the beach barefoot or a mariachi band for the reception... Your wedding will be a blend of old and new - white dress cocktail, personalied vows, whatever suites you!!! |
| You Have Him Totally Hooked |
 Your guy is all yours - and happily so. He loves being around you, and he totally sees you as a couple. It looks like you two have a great future together - if you want it! |
| Guys Like That You're Fun |
 You're the type of girl guys brag about knowing That's because you're cool, funny, and laid back You're smart enough to know how to be one of the guys But flirty enough to know how to make them all want you |
| You Are Right Brained In Love |
 Peacemaker, first to end a fight Good at thinking up creative dates Tend to fall in love and get hurt easily Going with your gut instead of your head Emphathetic and caring, sometimes to a fault Good at recognizing patterns in relationships Been in love many times, perhaps too many to count Wildly passionate and intense when falling in love Spontaneous with relationships, going with the flow Overly visual - can play back past dates like movies in your mind Roses, love poems, and stuffed animals are a good start to winning your heart |
Uh-NO!!!
| This Fall, You Should Wear |
 |
Love this song actually
| Your Love Song Is |
 Yellow by Coldplay "Look at the stars, Look how they shine for you, And everything you do, Yeah they were all yellow" You're so in love, it's like a drug. |
Ok, I think that's enough. I'm just having too much fun with these.

CAUGHT!I used my lunch hour today to run home to pack stuff for S to go w/ my parents for the night. My mom came and picked her up earlier and took her for the night. Nice for me to have a night off but in the same sense I know that she's leaving soon for 8 weeks and I am going to miss her like crazy!
So I have blogged before about my Sirius radio. Well a few weeks ago I added the Playboy channel for pure amusement. I like to listen to it and I'm not afraid to admit it. I like porn too. There you have it. :) Anyway, so on my way back to work today they have this thing going on w/ 2 guys (the hosts) and a couple playmates that are doing "Candyland" games to get into some party at the mansion. They had the choice of either whipping the other with licorice or smacking her ass w/ a giant lollypop. She choice the licorice. All I could do was cringe. For I have been whipped (on the leg) with licorice and it FUCKING HURTS!!! I think it was the year I moved back here and I was at my cousins house. Hotter than hell out so we're partying outside on the porch and out of no where she decides to whack me in the back on the legs, not just once, but over and over with a fucking red vine! What the fuck is she thinking!? Granted that it hurt like hell but we were laughing because she had no idea why she did it. Ok, whatever...
So on my way home today, I of course have it tuned into Playboy again. They have a great call-in show that's on when I get off of work. Today it happened to be someone that called in about anal sex. Something about the last time being Y2K and they were going to go out w/ a bang but it hurt blah blah blah... So the guest chick, don't know if she was a playmate, pornstar, whatever, didn't really matter, is telling her the "proper" way to ready yourself for it. So my cell rings and it's the BT so I turn the volume down and talk to him. I get home and remember that I have to go pick up my anti-baby pills so I hop in the car to go to the pharmacy. I forgot that it was on the radio and as I am driving past someone I turn it up to hear someone asking about anal bleaching. OMG! Hopefully the chick I was slowly driving past did one of those "that wasn't what I think I just heard". How embarrassing!
Ok, so I get back home and the BT comes over. This is probably 5ish. He had softball game tonight so he was stopping before the game. I was going to go considering I'm childless tonight but I really don't want to sit there by myself with all the little fucking biting flies out and complain to myself as to why I was there so I opted to stay home. He was hungry and the quickest thing I had was pizza so I threw one in the oven so he wouldn't starve while he was gone. (Gotta take care of my man right!? Who am i kidding? I'm no fucking Betty Crocker or even Sara Lee!) Anyway, so I look at the clock and tempt him for a quickie. He wants a rain check. HUH!? Oh no freaking way! I wasn't really serious but now this is a CHALLENGE! Especially when his ride was coming to get him in 8 minutes!!!!! So I propped myself in the doorway, arm along each side of the door.... Ya, I got my way!!! So we take off into the bedroom for this, what is now going to have to be like a 5 min quickie. (Good thing he lives close!) We're going at it and I have him just about where I want him and I hear something/Someone. Uh-oh. My dad occasionally stops before work but dumb me didnt' lock the door. Come on, no one ever just stops over! So we're still going at it and I hear something else... and thena whistle. OH SHIT! My freaking dad is here! OMG! How embarrassing! Ok, Granted that this IS my own house and it's no surprise that I'm not a virgin since I have a 5 1/2 old daughter but still!!! OMG! So he's having a heart attack and I'm throwing shorts on and making sure I don't have freshly fucked looking hair and I take off out to the living room while I'm yelling "I'll be right there Dad". I get to the living room and there's no one there. OMG! Did he hear us and realized what was going on and took off?! Holy shit! How can I face him!? I run to the door to catch him before he leaves but there's no sign of the truck... no dust in the driveway... he's not at the corner turning onto the main road.... Then it dawns on me.... IT'S MY MOTHER FUCKING COMPUTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No, no one was here. My dad wasn't here. He wasn't whistling and yelling for me in the house. No! It was my daughter at my mom's playing with the Audibles on Yahoo. THAT is where all the talk and whistling came from!!! Damn it!
Moral of the story--- It's not my day! :) But at least I got a couple good laughs out of it!

12:34It seems that every day as I sit at my desk at work and I look at either the clock on the phone or on my computer, it's 12:34. Isn't that odd? Now this is something that I've noticed for a while now. In fact I was driving with my cousin a few months back, possibly even last fall, and looked at the clock in her van and it was 12:34. Pure coincidence? I'm not really sure. It's just weird. I mean, why don't I take note when it's 11:59 or some other odd time? Nope, always 12:34. Maybe I should start playing the lotto. Maybe it's a sign?! :)
Last night I was surfing myspace and found a few people that I used to work at the airline with. I sent them messages and actually heard back from one already. She was an Inflight Supervisor with me. Beautiful girl!!! She just had a baby boy. She'd been married previously, had a daughter and was divorced while we were working together and then met the man of her dreams. I can't rememeber what she always referred to him as. Big Mike I think. He was like 7' tall. Ok, I'm exaggerating but he was really tall... Anyway, they now have a baby boy and she looks good as ever. I tell ya, I really miss those days. I think about it every single day. I remember getting up for work and dreading having to go in, before I was pregnant and still able to fly. Then I'd get there, get ready to go on the plane and remember that I had the absolute coolest job in the world without a doubt! Especially the early morning and late night flights. To be able to take off and go above the clouds and watch the sun rise or set is just simply amazing. I have seen some of the best sunrises/sets in the world and met so many great friends in the process, both co-workers and passengers. There will never be a day in my life that I regret not jumping on the train and going to college right away. You can always further your education, you cannot always have a job like that. Well, not now in my shoes anyway. My daughter is too important to me. If I had stayed closer to her father I may have thought about keeping my job but I just wanted "out" and as far away from him as I could get. I will always have the memories...

Whoooo hoooo Summer's here!You know, at this time last year my ass was on the lake already. In fact we were out there before Mother's Day! I cannot wait to get back out there this year! I left work yesterday and it was 20* hotter on one side of the bay compared to the other. Now, for those of you that are new here, I like on Lake Superior at the base of the Keweenaw Peninsula so we have this HUGE lake to play around in and we're also on the bay which makes it nice too. Anyway, yep, left work at it was about 78, get home and it's freaking 58. WTF!? Today it's really nice out. Nice this morning then we had a small down pour, literally just as I walked in the door from picking up lunch. Just in time!!!!! :) Whew! Anyway, only 29 more minutes of work left and then I can go home and sit my ass in the sun and act like the Sun Goddess that I am!!! So help me God if the wind turns by then!!!
I finally decided to talk to BT last night. Monday night he'd come over and said that he would be there for dinner so I went to the store and got stuff to make spaghetti, garlic bread, salad and even strawberry shortcake. Well he had to run back to his apt and take his work clothes out of the dryer and then he'd be up. I'd just gotten back from the store so it was no big deal. Called again and said that he was leaving his parents and had to give a friend a ride to his house and then he'd be up and wanted to know if dinner was done. Nope, I'd just started so again, no big deal. Called AGAIN at 738p and said he was going to pick up Chris and go unload all of the shit in the back of his truck and would be back shortly and wanted to know if dinner was done. No, but very close. Ok, that was 738p. I got S ready and fed her and decided screw it so I ate and then I put all the shit away in the fridge. Yes, the bitch in me came out. Finally around 930p he decides to stroll in!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? Now, where they were going to drop the stuff off would have taken 45 min tops. But 2 fucking hours!? I don't think so! Then he had enough nerve to ask if I was upset?! HELLO!? Am I not out on the porch chain smoking here?! Can you not see me? Am I a figment of your imagination or what?! AUGH! Men are so fucking stupid!!! Needless to say, I made him feel like shit and rightfully so. I mean, S and I, we don't need much to make us happy. She only eats plain spaghetti w/ butter and parm cheese anyway. I didn't need to make the rest. What a fucking waste of my time and energy!!! So basically I laid into him and said that I "thought" when he said he'd be back for dinner he was ACTUALLY going to make it back for dinner and not at 930pm!!! I mean come on!!! He plays softball on Tues and Thurs and goes to camp w/ the guys in his family every Wed to play pool and darts etc, am I not entitled to one night? I told him he better figure out where I fit in his life because *THIS* is so not what I want. I'm not going to feel insignificant and like I don't matter and the nice things that I try doing for him don't matter. Fuck that! I'm sure there is someone out there that is willing to come over for dinner and spend time with me. I got the "I love you" and "you matter so much to me" etc... That night and again last night. Now, I don't doubt those things but I will NOT take a back seat to stupid shit like I did on Monday becuase he gets sidetracked. I think I made my point clear. Well, last night after his game he comes in and tells me that he's going to change. UGH! I HATE when people say they're going to change. If you cannot love them for who they are then I feel that you have no business being together. I don't want to change for anyone and I don't want anyone to change for me. Now, I do understand that we've both been single for a long time. Two years for both of us or somewhere around there. It does take time to get used to people but change!? God I hate that! I guess I'll stick it out and see what happens. You know, we've never even been on a date together?! Yes, it's fucked up, I know. I've brought it to his attention already too. Oh, at least he did call while I was at work and asked me if I wanted to go to his game in Mass City. Well, thanks but I have a little girl and I'm not getting home w/ her at 10-11pm. Sorry, I'm a mom first and will always be a mom first.
On to American Idol.... I'm stumped. I dont' know who I want to win. I LOOOOOVE Taylor. He is so much fun to watch and just doesn't give a shit. I mean, he could care less if he's got the salt and pepper going on. And Katherine, well she's got a great voice and she's hot. Here's where I get stuck. I don't know if I can see myself buying a Taylor album but I can see myself purchasing a Katherine. (OMG! Did I just say album?! Wow am I dating myself!!!) However, I can't remember Katherine from the "try outs" but I remember Taylor from the time he walked in the door. I remember hearing his voice and thinking Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder and how freaking original he was. On the other hand, I'd choose a Taylor concert over a Katherine concert. HE would put on an AMAZING show in my opinion. He is just so fun and full of energy!!! It's never ending. He doesn't care if people make fun of his clothes or the way he dances. He is who he is. Ok, well after writing this, I guess I'd like to see Taylor win 'cause he deserves it. Although I can see Katherine making her way up the charts faster... Don't know. What do you think???
Alright, I now have only 9 min till I can go home so I have to start cleaning my shit up so I can get the hell out of here! Hope you all have a great night!
Ta ta bitches~!

FIRSTS
[First love]
Mike F. I thought he was the best thing on Earth. Although I know that it was more lust than anything. My first love was Dony without a doubt.
[First kiss and when]
Bryan L. I was in 8th grade at a dance in a neighboring town. He stuck his tongue in my mouth and I found it terribly disgusting!!!
[First prom date]
Steve N. His dad was a High School science teacher. I was a freshman and he was a junior. I thought I was so cool. We had a good time.
[First roommate]
I lived with my cousin Gretchen for a while and then moved out because I moved about 4 hours away with 2 other friends. Shannon A and then Shannon C moved down shortly after.
[First alcoholic beverage]
Hmmm... I know we raided Shannon A's parents liquor cabinet when we were young, probably Vodka becuase it didn't smell. After that strictly wine coolers. I thought everything else was gross. Now I can't drink wine coolers because they give me heart burn.
[First sexual partner]
Mike F. I thought he was a God! It didn't last too long. A couple of months maybe.
[First job]
A car hop at the Drive In. I think I was 12 or 13 but felt that I needed some of my own money!
[First car]
A 90 or 91 white 2 door Cavalier. I loved that car. I rolled it 3 months later. Boy was my dad pissed!!! I was driving on some dirt roads in the middle of the woods and while going around a corner I hit the brakes, they locked up and I slid down one side and then skidded to the other until the car started to spin and the back end hit a bank and rolled to it's top. Never in my life have I been so scared! Thank God I had my seat belt on so I'd have been majorly hurt since the roof of my car (when rolled back over) was level w/ my eyes!
[First funeral]
I think it was a great Aunt of mine that my Gma took me to. I was very young. Either that or my Great Grandpa Wally.
[First grade teacher]
Mrs Foucault. It was the only grade I didn't attend school in L'Anse. My dad got hired with the police dept there, but only for a year. Funny thing is that a guy that I graduated with is now engaged to her daughter and she (the teacher) was telling his parents about a little girl w/ dark hair that was in her class that was from L'Anse and then moved back there. Gee, put two and two together! How cool that with all the kids teachers go through in all the years they teach and she remembered me!!!
[First ride on an airplane]
Before my first birthday.
[First date]
My first "real" date was Brad S. He was a few years older than me and one of the most popular guys in school. Total jock. We went to dinner and a movie and then back to his house where he played a song on his guitar for me. Too bad all he did was talk about his ex girlfriend Sara the whole date!!!
[First time you snuck out of your house]
I never snuck out of my OWN house but I'd stay at Shannon A's and we'd sneek out of there! It was too easy and we never got caught!!!
[First Best Friend and are you still friends with them]
Either Shannon A or Angie, although I am closer to Angie even though she lives hours away.
[First person you call when you have a bad day]
Depends on what’s bad about the day and the severity of the badness. Sometimes Gretchen, or Jessica or my sister.
[First wedding you were a part of]
My parents. I was 3. My sperm donor was dead and my mom re-married the only man I've ever called Dad.
[First thing you do in the morning]
Say "fuck" and hit the snooze button.
I AM confused right now
I WANT to be happy
I WISH I was on my way to a tropical island
I MISS my friend Jason
I HEAR the clicking of keys on my keyboard and Sirius radio
I WONDER what I'll do after work today
I REGRET (at times) moving so far away from S's dad because I'm going to miss her like hell this summer
I AM NOT looking forward to sitting in front of this pc all day when it's nice out!
I DANCE all the time! I love to dance!
I AM NOT ALWAYS very emotionally stable
I MAKE WITH MY HANDS last nights dinner
I WRITE because I can better express myself that way.
I CONFUSE anyone and everyone most of the time
I NEED to know where I fit in certain people's lives in order to not waste time
I SHOULD not be such a bitch sometimes
I START things that I should finish but I typically get bored or sidetracked

3. What is your astrological sign? Cancer (isn't that obvious?!)
4. Do you check your horoscopes regularly, and do you believe in them? I don't check them on a regular basis and I don't really believe in them but I do find it amusing how they somewhat seem to pertain to something going on in your life. Who ever writes them must be one smart cookie!
5. What are your typical [starsign] qualities? Moody, crabby, loving, caring
**No clue where #6 went!!!
7. Who are you compatible with? Well my horoscope jobby thing tells me Scorpio's but I find that I am so NOT compatible with a single one of them!

9. Who do you live with? My precious little girl and my 2 naked cats
10. How is your bedroom decorated? It's not. It's the one room in the house I have no idea what to do with. Right now the walls are white but the previous owner had torn out the big closet or whatever it was and put up tongue and groove around the walls and ceiling and then there's a big California-type closet w/ huge sliding mirrored doors.
11. Do you have posters on the walls? Uh no
12. Are your parents still together? Yes
13. So what kind of person are you, in the good ways? I'm loving, dependant (sometimes a bit too much) and thoughtful. I'd do just about anything for anyone. I like to help people in need. I strive to be a better parent than my mother was. Not that she was bad but she never took us anywhere or did anything with us.
14. And in the bad ways? I can be a bit obsessive, bitchy, moody,catty, indecisive, and I know I talk WAY too much
15. In what ways do you annoy people? I tend to talk too much, that I am aware of for sure. When I'm pissed off I tend to rant and rave until I feel better.
16. What are your strengths? I can be very supportive, caring, good listener,
17. What are your weaknesses? I don't do stress very well- I tend to freak out at times and get emotional, I get defensive easily.

19. What makes you depressed? Breaking up, missing my daughter when she's gone. Friends that have passed...
20. Are you easily paranoid? Depends on the situation
21. What is your current mood? Confusion
22. Who are your close friends? Angie, Gretchen, Becky, my sister at times
23. Who are your favorite friends to talk with when you are upset? Angie. She tends not to judge
PART TWO: APPEARANCES
1. Insert a picture of yourself here: I can't right now. Although if you scroll through, especially when I started this blog you'll find some.
2. How important is the way you look to you? I'm pretty low maintence but I do like to look nice. However, I don't have to apply lipstick everytime I pass a mirror or make sure my hair is in place.
3. How self-conscious are you when it comes to your appearance? Not really, unless I'm in a room full of tall, blonde, silicone stuffed women. Or in a bathing suit. I hate that. Nto because I think I'm fat but because I have SO many stretch marks, or what I like to call "battle wounds".
4. How tall/short are you? 5'1 1/2. What? The 1/2" makes a HUGE difference!!!
5. What color hair do you have? Dark brown
6. How long is it? Pretty long. Middle of my back. It used to be longer-- down to my butt when I was preg and after I had her but her sperm donor liked it so much and told me never to cut it so I chopped it up to my shoulders. I go in spurts and get bored w/ it so I cut it. Ever so spiteful!
7. What would you call your body shape? Thin, which I chaulk up to good metabolism, although I do admit I should be in better shape than I am.
8. Are you happy with it? Depends on the day. I'd certainly like to be more toned, just too lazy to do it.
9. How do you dress, and why? However I want really. Depends on where I'm going. In the winter I'm covered head to toe 'cause I hate cold. Summer when I'm lounging around, probably jean shorts and a tank top, work in the summer--skirts, dresses, anythign that is comfortable. I hate socks so I'm normally shoeless!
10. How long ago did you start dressing this way? After the grunge era I decided that I didn't care anymore and started wearing things that didn't make me look like a cow or were too big and baggy for my body size.
11. Do your friends dress similarly to you? Sometimes but I'm the one that will always pick out something wild to wear, 'cause I can get away with it and nothing I do fazes them!!!
12. How is the way you dress reflective of your personality? Depends on what I'm feeling/thinking at the time. Sometimes I liek to be sexy, sometimes flirty, out there and wild, sweet....
13. What parts of your appearance do people compliment? I'd have to say my eyes
14. What parts of your appearance do people insult? My hands and arms. I hate them!

14 daysOMG! I hadn't realized that it's been that long since I hopped my little ass on this site to write any random shit that I can come up with. Either that or the past 2 weeks have been extremely boring and I had nothing to even bitch about. Truthfully I did attempt on posting the vitamen piss yellow pics but got frustrated when they wouldn't download fast enough and said screw it. I'll have to attempt that again later.
On to the house updates... The bathroom is 75% done. Well, it's painted. I still have to finish the trim. Although the paint doesn't seem to want to dry either. I think that since he'd "re-done" the bathroom 2 freaking years ago but didn't bother painting it, there was just too much moisture in the drywall for it to be dry. Wetwall. :) Yes that was dumb but that's my humor. So the walls in there are grey with a tint of lavender. Hard to explain. I'll take pics eventually.
Painted over the piss yellow kitchen walls. The top color is now a lighter beigey color and the bottom (ok, parts of the bottom-- didn't get around the washer or fridge and then just plain 'ol skipped another section of wall where I was thinking about adding cupboards), the best to describe it is chocolate milk brown. The bottom part used to be a light creamy butter pecan color maybe? I am terrible at describing colors, this I already know. Anyway, so I paint the brown and decide that I like the old color better. Oh ya! That's going to be fun to paint over. So I go get some more paint which I "thought" was the same color and start painting over a portion of the wall. Uh-0h! WAY too white. I'm getting mixed reviews. I have people that like the brown and people that like the lighter color. I'll have to post a pic and you tell me what looks better 'cause hell if I know! I'm tempted to just leave the brown for now since it's just too much work to paint over it. I'm just about painted out!!! I think the reson I don't like it is because I'm not a "brown" person. It seems so boring to me.
Mom still hasn't gone back to the Dr. She seems to think that since she doesn't have any symptoms that she doesn't have to go. Whatever. Like I told her, she may just go to sleep and not wake up or go to sleep and wake up w/ one side hanging from a stroke. Bet if that happens she'd wish she went back to the Dr!
S embarrassed the BT yesterday. It was so funny that I couldnt' even tell her to quit. She and her little cousin were eating ice cream and BT was on the pc and out of no where she says "Are you in love with my mom?" I could only see the side of his head but it was bright red right away. She just kept asking till he nodded and then she said "Are you going to marry my Mom?" OMG! By this point I'm right on the verge of tears I'm laughing so hard!!! I finally had to tell her to quit. How freaking funny!!! That was just like on Easter when she, out of no where (again) decides to tell my parents (who had yet to meet him) that when BT wakes up in the morning his hair is really funny. It's all over the place and really big. OMG! How hysterical!!! I think everyone just about spit their food out. Too funny. Out of the mouths of babes huh!?
Sirius siriously screwed me. Those assholes took $80 out of my acct for a receiver I'd sent back to them a month ago!!! Needless to say after I checked my acct that day and seen that they'd withdrawn more money out of my acct I got right on the phone. The idiot on the other end proceeds to tell me that yes, he sees it was received at the warehouse on blah blah blah. WTF?! You mean to tell me that you received it at the warehouse AND YOU KNOW THIS but you're still going to charge me!? WTF is wrong with this picture? He then tells me that they need the tracking number and once he has that and talks to his manager they can send a credit through which will take 24 hrs and the money should be back in my acct w/in 3-4 days! Hello assholes! I'm a single mother and $80 is a lot of money to me!!! Are they going to pay for anything that may boucne between now and then seeing as I THOUGHT I had at least $80 in my acct!? I checked the tracking this morning, and it was signed for by Ramjohn at 11:36am on 04/26/06. YES APRIL 26!!! Fuckers! So I call back there today w/ the tracking number and talk to some chick whose name I cannot even pronounce, let alone spell. Naricka or something like that. Nice lady and I know it's not her fault but JC! Ya, so by Thursday I should have the money. I'm freaking out calling and emailing the bank so they know what's going on should the nice big check I wrote at Wally World clear. AUGH! Fuck sticks!
Attempted to mow the lawn on Sat. Now I don't have the smallest of lawns at my house. I own 2 lots, just around an acre I think. I wouldnt' be bad if it was flat but once you're pushing the mower you find these gradual little hills in the yard that you just don't see with the naked eye. Well I was on a roll on Sat and then I see Becky standing in front of me. Ya, fine time to visit. She was supposed to stop on Friday and didn't show up so I waited for nothing and then ruins my perfectly good mowing spree that I'm on. So I quit to yack w/ her for a few and then it starts to rain. Really nice! Now I can't mow at all 'cause even if it clears up the grass is still going to be wet. My cousin called and asked if S could come over and spend the night. I get her stuff ready and haul her out. I get there and we start BSing and I cracked a beer. Seemed like the right thing to do at the time, which by the way was around 330p. I NEVER drink that early in the afternoon for I know myself and will be comatose at 8p if not before. I'm a light weight in that category. Well we finally decided to cook on the grill which was good because I think the alcohol was affecting me. :) Ate a burger and corn. More beer. I was supposed to be up to Jessica and Brandon's watch the NASCAR race around 8p and she kept calling and calling. I told her that since G lived down the road from her if she picked me up in the Barbie jeep I'd go w/ her. Now how freaking funny would that be?! Well she and BT's sister came to her back door to get me. They walked there and then BT's sister drove my car back. I think this was around 10-1030p. Either way, I wasn't pretty. I was going to go to my sister's work to see her because she'd called and said that BT was there. Well, when I called she was closing and BT had left... Hmmm... So we went back to the house and I raided their fridge. We'd cooked on the grill the night before so I knew they had something good in there. Only hot dogs left but it was good enough for me. I always have to have something to soak up the alcohol! Shortly after they were getting tired after the race ended so I left and found BT at the bar. Needless to say, I sure was perdy at that point in time. :) On the flip side, I felt ok yesterday. I'd like to say that it's a good thing that I wasn't praying to the porcelin Gods but a bad thing considering how much alcohol I'd consumed! Although I did eat which was good.
So now I'm at work starting out the window. It is SO nice out today. I have the window open and can hear the birds chirping. Sure wish I was outside right now! Supposed to be nice up here all week so I think summer is just about here! Hell, at this time last year we'd already been out on the boat! I can only hope we have another summer like that!

Uneventful weekendNothing much happened this weekend. I picked S up on Sat. Nice to have her back. I decided yesterday to finish priming and start painting the bathroom. I ran out of primer w/ just a teeny tiny wall left. Damn it. I started painting the walls that were primed and I can honestly say that I love it. It's a dark gray-lavender color. It's really nice! Of course I still have to get trim and what not before it's really finished but for now it's lookin' good!

Vitamin piss yellowYes folks, that is the color of my kitchen. It looks like someone ate about 25 vitamins and just pissed all over my walls. I'm not kidding. It's bad. The "plan" was to paint a bright yellow on the walls and then rag/drag/bag whichever method I decided on, olive green and a mustard yellow over it so you really don't even see the piss yellow color. YA right. I work with a guy that has THE coolest kitchen (next to yours Bronx!) in the same color scheme. It really is cool. Anyway, he and his wife told me the colors they used and how to do it. Well I got the yellow on the walls and let that dry. The next day I started "bagging" the olive green over it. OMG! Can you say shit!? Good thing I mixed it with glaze and was able to just wash it right off the wall. It was hideous! Seriously. Someone could have puked all over the wall and it may have looked better. (Ok, probably not but it was the first thing that came to mind.) Luckily I have wood on the bottom (freaking painted of course) of the wall so it's not the entire wall that's yellow. Just the top portion. I told my mom (the die hard Packer fan) that I could just paint the bottom half green, take out the pendant lamp and put in a nice Packer beer lamp! Now that sounds fun doesn't it?! (Excuse me while I barf!) Ok, so anyway, back to the drawing board for me. Now I'm thinking about either painting the walls like a sage green on the top, no clue for the bottom as they're a latte-type color now. Or maybe ripping out the wood shit that's on there now and tongue and grooving the bottom half. (God I am so biting my tongue on that right now-- I have the best perverted comment!!!!)
No news on mom yet. Apparently the Dr called the other day but she's not calling them back till next week. She's just tired of it all...
S is still gone with her dad so back to WI I go this weekend to pick her up.
I slipped and referred to the BT as my boyfriend Sat night. Well, not really but sort of. Someone asked me where my boyfriend was and I pointed him out. And then really quickly corrected myself and said that we weren't labled. Dork. You know, I thought about it and I think that I'm just worried about the honeymoon being over once we're labled. I can already see it happening. Oh well, one day at a time. I had great sex last night though!!! I know you all wanted to know that! :)
Ta ta bitches!
