Just Another Bend In Journey of Life

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!
