All in a day's work.................

This week has gone by soooooooooo slowly..............we have even tried power drinking at lunch in hopes that we get so trashed that we don't care if the day is going slow or not! I think we are all getting spring fever! I am still dealing with the "pseudo-geniuses" of the IT world! One says "awe, he doesn't know what he is doing" the other says "I would not trust that guy"! Well, ya know what~both of you are IDIOTS and my system is still all F*'d up! WTF! Cain't I find just one person who does not want to blame everyone else for their F*ck ups?!?!?!?!? I really, really, really, do love my job!

So, I got my boss started on online dating and he is really enjoying it........awe, the stories that I get to hear! Well anyway, he usually does not come into work til after 10 or 11 but, now that he is getting all these e-mails, he has been getting here at 9 or before! Needless to say, I have been in some trouble with all my co-workers whose time clock is like mine~always 15 minutes behind! Well, never fear, I came up with the best solution yet............got him a laptop with an aircard and now he can do everything he wants right in the comfort of his own home! Whoooooo, all my co-workers once again love me and he is back to not coming in til around 10 or 11!

It is a good day to hang on the patio at lunch and have a few.................................

Not just any Friday night..................

So, I am sitting here watching the most amazing 8 year old figure out a mind teasing puzzle and thinking that he is just so innocent and so pure and so full of life and loves unconditionally! I have had the best night with my baby! We went to dinner, did some shopping, came home and cuddled on the couch, ate ice cream and watched a movie! These are the little moments that make being a mom the best ever! Unfortunately, baby J is not here to enjoy it with us! He is off with his Mawmaw B! Since I had my surgery, my doctor has put some restrictions on me and the one that kills me the most is that I am not able to pick up anything more than 5 lbs or bend over. Well shit, that takes taking care of J out for two weeks. My mom and Shell Bell have just been wonderful taking care of him though. I am truly blessed with 2 great kiddos and lots of good family!!!!

Oh yeah, I had my post-op appointment and my doctor said that I was healing great and she even took the splints out of my nose! I can breathe now! She also said that I can start sleeping flat tomorrow night! Oh yeah, during all this I have quit smoking too!!!!! Okay, okay, I take a drag off someone else's when I am drinking but, when I don't have a beer in my hand~no smokey smokey! I feel really good about it too!

Change in subjects.............the "midget" and I are on speaking terms again and I am really glad that we are! He was always fun to talk to and to hang out with! He always made me laugh! Also, still dealing with the drama from the latest boy. He says he wants to be friends but, yet he acts like we are a couple when I see him at the "usual" hang out! He is so freaking weird!

it's good to be me.......................................

Back and forth and back and forth........blah...I'm Done!

Okay, so I thought I would not post about the guy I am dating and not jinx it but, damnit~it still failed! Oh well, I am so over talking about him and the whole past 1 month and a 1/2 that I cannot even do it here............most of you alllllll know the story though.................

Anyway, on to more exciting things! I had surgery this past week....I had my tonsils taken out and my deviated septum fixed. I hate IV's and I HATE being put to sleep but, the
anesthesiologist was freaking hot so, I didn't mind it so much this time! I personally know him anyway and allll the nurses were asking me how I knew him and are we dating and so on and so forth........now I know why he likes working at that hospital~he gets all the attention! Hell, he probably gets it wherever he goes! Okay, back to me~I got to home the same day and for two days after that I was in some pain but, not as bad as everyone made it out to be! I will just be glad when 2 full weeks are up and I can sleep flat on my back and NOT snore!


need to take another dose..........................................

Good Times Were Had By All.............

Well, this past week and weekend was a blast! Let's see, Paula and I hung out and played poker at our "normal" hangout! I ran into some peeps I hung out with in high school and played catch up with them! It was great seeing all of them again! They are all great guys and we have hung out together since school but not that often! On Thursday, Horsey, Kim and her boy Jeff, myself and JC went to the improve~the show was definitely worth the $$$! The guy was absolutely funny and he is the co-author of "He's just not that into you" book! Note to self...........pick up the book! Oh yeah, pissed off the "Midget" and have not talked to him since.

On Friday, went to Down Under with a bunch of friends and closed that place down and then headed over the the usual "after midnight" place down the way. Ran into F*ckface Geno~of course, he was drunk and of course, he was talking all his normal shit of "I miss you" and "I want to be with you but, I'm scared" and so on and so forth! Anyway, that's not the funny part.........he called me after I left and when I was on the phone with him, he got pulled over! I decided that I would drive by and sure enough, there he was, standing outside the car walking the line! Once the cop put him in the car, I rolled up next to him and asked "Are you taking him to jail" and the cop said "uh, yes, who are you?" I said "his girlfriend"~WTF was I thinking? Anyway, the cop said that Gene wanted to talk to me so, I pulled my car over and got out and walked to the side of the car Gene was on and he asked if I would bail him out and told me to get his wallet and keys out of his car. Being the nice person that I am, I did that and then called my buddies to come meet me so I could drive his precious little hundred thousand dollar Mercedes back to his place so it would not get towed! Again~WTF was I thinking? I had no business stopping and I definitely had no business talking to a freaking cop! Anyway, luckily, during the course of all of this, my cousin (who is also a cop) pulled and stayed with me until the HP hauled his ass off to jail!

So, forward to the next morning, I get up at freaking 8 am (only after 3 hours of sleep) to get online and find a bail bonds place (never bailed anyone out of jail before) and find one~call the jail~he hasn't seen the judge yet~damnit, how long do I have to wait? Well, til 11am! He was slapped with a 3rd degree felony for DWI! Dumbass, didn't you learn your lesson the first TWO times? Anyway, go to pick him up and whatta ya know, his supposable "EX" wife is there too! She does not know me so, she had no clue who I was but, I knew it was her since THEIR son was with her! Okay, I promise, I am almost done...........go back to the BB place and return bond, he calls (I still have all his crap) tells her that they are going by his buddy Blake's house (asked me to leave everything in the mailbox), she doesn't believe him so, she calls my cell phone, I answer and she was shocked! Anyway, she tells me that they were working things out! Well, they WERE but when she found out about me and all the girls I told her about, they are not anymore! DAMNIT GENO~you really are as dumb as you look!

This post is from a while back.........update as of 02/15 to follow!

New Year...........New Beginning.......................

Okay, here's the deal.....if I dated you (or whatever you want to call it) in the year 2005.............you have been officially DELETED.........you have either caused too much drama, you are too needy, you are too flightly, you are not even divorced, you are recently divorced, you are still hung up on baby's mama (or just your ex) OR you cannot decide on whether or not you want to date me OR scared of something turning into a relationship~GOD forbid that you have a relationship and all your friends are still single! I personally don't think I am ready for a relationship nor want one right now but, if I dated someone and there were mutual feelings there then I would just go with the flow and let whatever happen, happen and I will continue to do that!

However, there is one exception to the above~let's see, we will call him "Midget" ~and that is ONLY because I met him the Thursday before Christmas! He is pretty sweet and fun to hang out with and not bad on the eyes either! His roommate is pretty cool too and he's single, ladies..................

So, my New Year's resolutions ~~~~STOP smoking, start back up at the gym, and to be more direct and upfront (like I have a problem with that now!), and stop analyzing EVERYTHING! We will see how that works! Lately, I have just been hanging out all over town with my new friend~Paula! She is a blast to hang out with! She and I are just alike in alot of different ways! It's cool! Anyway, kids are back home, school is back in session and I am back from my crazy "free time". It was nice and I can honestly say that I am thankful to be back on schedule with the boys! Last night was a blast, P, her kids, Horsey, her kids and me and D went to this little place that is very family oriented~it has huge big screens and on one was the Mavs and on another the Stars and the other one hadsome other basketball game on! It had the bar atmosphere but catered to families. The kids all loved the "Kid's Room" and all the games were free for the kids and it didn't have any cheesy games, they were the kind of games that you find at Main Event and places like that!

Oh yeah, talked to the prick~Kev. Asked him if he was ever gonna get this "collateral" back from me and he said that he just went ahead and paid for it! What a dumb ass, he could have paid me the money he owed me which was 3 times less what he ended up paying for this damn thing! Oh well, goes to show that some guys just have too much pride! I think he is just a dumb ass and BTW~Kevin, YOU were the first to be deleted!

Got fired from my part time job before Christmas, they said something about me complaining about all the hours! Oh well, can you see the tear coming out of my eye?!?!?!? BTW~I going to see my girl, Tiff, up in Cincinasty in February and it has been about a year since I last saw here so, I excited about that, not excited about the flight but, that is what Xanax is for! I'm trying to get "Midget" to go with me! Oh yeah, sorry for "stabbing" you and the hair incident!

going to soak in a big ol' bubblebath..............................

Where the HELL is that post-it note at?

So, I sit here in this wonderful hotel in the WONDERFUL city of Abilene and cannot log in to my e-mail account and instead of getting more pissed off........I decided to blog about my week! I am here for a training class for work and so far the class is exactly what I expected.........confirmation of what I already know! We are upgrading from our DOS version of this software to the Windows version. It's all pretty much the same just now, I can use the mouse!

Enough of that though.....got here Monday night and as most of you know I NEVER go anywhere by myself, I don't even walk into a place that I am meeting my friends until they meet me at the door.........why is that anyway? Anyway, I decided that I didn't want Room Service so, I went to Chili's and yes, by myself, had dinner and a couple of beers and ya know what?!?!?! I was okay! Not to say that I will do that back home but, I can now say that I did it!

Headed to class on Tuesday morning and met some people, went to lunch with them and then hit Happy Hour with them! Pretty fun and diverse bunch! BTW~alot of people come to Abilene for business! It's interesting! Didn't know that Abilene was such a happening place! While at dinner with some of my new found peeps, found out that guys just don't do accounting like the girls do.......one guy (and the only guy in our class) was telling me that he has never done accounting and his partner said "hey, we got this check in, make the deposit" so, he did just that! The next day his partner asked "where did you post that deposit?" and he said "wait, it's here somewhere" and sure enough it was..........right in the middle of his desk on a post-it note! Apparently this is how he "posts" any and all transactions! Needless to say, he NEEDED to be at this class and I think I have ANOTHER part time job! Good thing his company is in our area!

Today's class wasn't too bad, A/R, deposits and bank recs......got out around 2:30....not bad......have two more days of this!!!! I will be home Friday night and I have baby J until Sunday and then have my Christmas party at the RR Stadium........should be fun! Looking forward to seeing Nicky in a Tux! I also invited Jamey........he's doing good.........his divorce is finally final and he said that he has had a rough couple of months.......just got lost.........we all have a time in our life where that happens but, he is back on track and I am looking forward to catching up with him. I always thought he was a sweetheart...................BG likes him too!

Off to Hotel HH..............................
