Jr. Friday

Ok I'm blogging just so everyone stops talking about the damn texas toast. Enough all ready. :) JK I love ya'll, you know that. Nothing really new here, just working off of 3 1/2 hours of sleep after working a 20 hour shift. Yuck! 8a.m -4a.m is not my idea of a career but I guess you gotta do what you gotta do. So needless to say, I'm a little exhausted today. But I don't have to get up tomorrow morning so that will be nice. I'll make up for it with Friday and Saturday night shifts at the bar but this will allow me to buy the long awaited air conditioning window unit that I have been salavating over since the summer came bulldozing through our apartment and sucker punched me with a fist of heat. Can't wait. Hope everyone has a great weekend! Miss everyone.

Everythings Bigger in Texas!

Well the long awaited weekend is over and not only was it fun but pretty eventful. Let me recap for ya'll. ;)
Thursday morning, shells and I make a mad dash to the airport just in time to have the lady at the ticket counter, very rudely i might add, tell us that our flight is leaving in 5 minutes and there is no way we'll make it throught security in time to catch it. So, yes, we missed our flight. Fucking dammit. Wasn't happy about that one. The lady then assured us, by 90% I might add, that we would be able to get on the next flight at noon on stand by. Fuckin lady was obviously horrible at math in school bc that 90% chance was more of a 30% chance. HUGE DIFFERENCE! We couldn't get on the noon flight. Finally by 2:45, the gods decided to smile on us and kick us out of the damn midway airport onto a flight bound for Dallas Texas. Yes! The trip has finally begun and I have had about 1 hour of sleep in over 24 hours. I'm a bit cranky at this point. Do you blame me? We finally arrive and we get to meet Graeme!! Yay, our long awaited email friend has finally come face to face with us. yay for Graeme. He picked us up from the airport bc he is such a stellar guy.
Thursday night, we proceed to traipse all around Texas (I'm not even sure where) to a couple of dead ass bars (the last one was pretty decent, the decor rocked)and try and swallow beer as fast as the one hour till closing would allow us. (you'll begin to see a pattern with this.. :) )Met some nice guys who called me ma'am. Yikes what am I , your teacher. Guess its a southern thing....moving onto friday and sat (which i'm going to group otherwise this blog will become a real novel)

Friday/Saturday. shells and I went to lis's show at the art festival. I'm gonna give a shout out to lis and say her stuff seriously rocked! Amazing work and I was proud to be at her booth. So we basically hung out and helped set up her stuff and drank beers out of the cooler while I unsuccessfully tried to outmanuver these deadly ants. Those fuckers can bite hard. Fri night we went late night to the bar where we met a bunch of lis's soccer friends and again ...tried to swallow beers before they closed. I"m horrible at chugging, i've come to realize this. Not good. Sat night we went to this place called "Z" I think and I must admit that shellie, lis and I rocked the house in that place. We were dancing machines. Aww...such a good time and I'll post pics of our talented routine as soon as they are developed. Betcha all can't wait! :)

Sunday. Let's just say we shopped a little bit....oh boy.....did we ever. I got some kick ass threads though. And lets not forget the cheese fries. Good choice tom!

Monday. Pool day! I loved being a sun whore this weekend and I've come to the conclusion that I must have a pool! I must, this is not a 'want' this is a 'need' therefore I must have it!. Then we did lunch with lis and tom and sadly we were on our way to the airport again. Boo hoo! And of course....our flight was delayed. I fuckin hate the goddamn airport. NOt to mention I left 60$ worth of prints that I had bought at the fair for my grandma and mom for christmas on the damn plane. Fuck fuck fuck. Thats it, i'm done flying......back to work now.

This is how I feel right now!

i didn't write it but it works.

In the constellation of life's friendships, we are one another's most constant stars. What makes them burn so brightly? Love, loyalty, trust and the mutually understood intention that we will be ourselves, sharing what we're thinking and feeling, and recognizing and respecting our differences.

new TP

I just wanted to let everyone know that the toilet paper in the bathroom at my work has been upgraded to a veeeerrrrrrryy soft new thickness and this is good for two reasons; 1. who doesn't like soft toilet paper, I know your ass does and 2. it's a hell of a lot easier to fall asleep against when trying to nap in the stall during work hours.

Need I say more....?

Weekend Recap for nothing better.....

I haven't posted in awhile bc I really haven't had anything interesting to say but I always get ticked when no one else updates so for the sake of updating here I am and here's how my weekend went. Friday, out with justin and shells to happy hour where I was later told by Justin that his work friends thought I was latino (I swear I get something new everytime) Saturday I beached it with shells and some friends where we proceeded to watch a dog (picture the dog from van wilder and you're right on the mark)hump a soccer ball and ram its butt into every beach goer it could possibly find occupying a towel while the owners just sat and laughed. Then I had to go to my hateful job and allow people to blow heaps of smoke in my face while drunkenly ordered 15 jager bombs. ( I secretly hoped they puked :) ) After a very brief 4 hours of exhausted sleep I awoke late and had to haul ass to my soccer game in which we dominated 6-0. That's what I'm talking about. I played like crap but we can't all be winners so I accept my failure. Then I beached it again following the game bc I am a sun whore. Unfortunatley there were no van wilder, soccer humping, butt pushing dogs to entertain me. However, I did have the pleasure of watching these two nerdy ass guys hit on these two ( I would lean towards butterface) kinda cute girls. I had to listen to a lot of giggling and line playing but needless to say.....I was entertained. After the beach I brought my burnt ass out to the burbs to have a BBQ with Lis, Shells, Justin, Tom and Lis's family. Great food and good memories. All in all it was a good weekend and I'm beat but I have this weekend to look forward to because.......FINALLY......we're going to TEXAS!!! And I hear everything is bigger in TEXAS. Can't wait to find out!

lets go to the bar

I had to blog this bc I hate working. My friend Kurt sent me a forward with a bunch of these but this one really stuck.

metro?

I seriously just heard some guy in my office say, "yeah, i'm gonna go and get a hand massage. I'll be back later" what! who does that? Matter of fact, what guy does that? Geez, you'd think I worked at cosmo or something instead of a leasing firm.

I'm smitten! There's no other way to describe it. I'm really happy and I feel like my eyes light up even at the thought of everything. Not to mention the smirk I wear morning to night. It feels good, it really does.

Soccer will do this to you

advice for the day

Having the upper hand is key in everything. Now don't manipulate it, just always stay one step ahead of the game. If you feel yourself falling, step out of the realm of chaos that you've obviously gotten yourself into, reflect on the drama, realize you can overcome and work your magic. It's a tiring game at times but sacrifice is what life is made up of. You have to give a little.

enjoy your little mind games.... ;)

I am neurotically insane. Sometimes I make a mountain out of mole hill, I over analyze everything and I am constantly second guessing myself. Confidence? What's that....oh right....that's the facade I put on so I feel as if I'm walking on water and untouchable. Sometimes I think I need professional help, or a long walk in the park. Thank god for best friends.

The novel of me

For all of you involved in the saga of my soap opera life I would just like to inform you that chapter 2 is now over and complete and emails have been returned and I think I'm saved once again from going to hell and hopefully not having bad Karma. My insides are still all jumbled and doing summersaults but both parties seemed to have survived the ordeal and are moving on. Yay for mature adults.

Moving on to chapter 3.......
