Bored

So.... I am sitting home and I am really bored out of my mind, so I thought that I would post a blog, since I really haven't had alot of time to do so. It's 10:18 p.m. and actually I am kind of tired, so I am just trying to waste some time until my eyes get heavy and force me to fall into a comfy comma. Today was actually a very blah day for me. I went out last night with my husband's friend Eric, well he's my friend too, but they are more friends. We went to Ken's bar around 8:30 and then when my husband got out of work he met us there, and we stayed there for a little while and played a few games of darts and then we went home and Bobby and I shot some more darts, and didn't end up going to bed til like 6:30 a.m. , so I slept most of the day away today. I was extremely tired and I can't believe that I am still tired. I guess that it's true that they say the more that you sleep the more tired you are, I really don't see how that can be, doesn't really make any sense to me, but whatever. My brother was suppose to come down this weekend, but he never called or anything and said that he wanted to come down and spend some time down here. He was here 2 nights last week because Bobby cut his finger on Sunday night and was out of work for 3 days so Stephen was here to keep Bobby company. Bobby really did do alot for me though when he was out of work for those days, the house was spotless everyday when I came home from work and everything that I would need to do when I got out of work was already done by the time I got home..so I was very happy about that and it was a huge help. When I get out of work all I want to do is shower and clean up and then relax. Some people would think that it's strange since I am a woman and considering my size that I work in a warehouse, but I love doing that kind of work. I always have, I love to keep busy and people think that just because I am so small that I really can't do alot of lifting or whatever is required with the job. I gained almost 10 lbs. since I started this new job, I think that it's mostly muscle that I gained, because it really doesn't look like I gained weight. I am just more in shape now then I was before. Actually I went to the mall yesterday and got a new pair of jeans. Usually I used to wear a sizes 5, which I would have to wear because I am tall and I needed to wear a 5 for the length, so I took a pair of sizse 5 jeans and went in the dressing room to try them on and they pretty much fell off me, so I ended up buying a size 3 and I didn't try those on. When I got home and put them on to get ready to go out, they were still kind of big in the waist, so who knows maybe I could wear a 1, which I am really excited about. Well I don't know, I am just blabbering about anything, so I think that I am going to go and watch some t.v. and try to get to sleep, so that way I won't waste tomorrow like I did today and I could actually do something with my day, so til next time.....

Dear Alcohol

Dear Alcohol,

First and foremost, let me tell you that I'm a huge fan of yours.

As my friend, you always seem to be there when needed. The perfect post-work cocktail, a beer at the game, and you're even around at the holidays (hidden inside chocolates as you warm us when we're stuck in the midst of endless family gatherings). However, lately I've been wondering about your intentions. While I want to believe that you have my best interests at heart, I feel that your influence has led to some unwise consequences:


1. Phone Calls: While I agree with you that communication is important. I question the suggestion that any conversation after 2 a.m. can have much substance or necessity. Why would you make me call my ex's? Especially when I know, for a fact, they DO NOT want to hear from me during the day, let alone all hours of the night.


2. Eating: Now, you know I love a good meal. But, why do you suggest that I eat a taco with chili sauce along with a big Italian
meatball and some stale chips (washed down with wine & topped off with a Kit Kat AFTER a few cheese curls & chili cheese fries)? I'm an eclectic eater but, I think you went too far this time.


3. Clumsiness: Unless you're subtly trying to tell me that I need to do more yoga to improve my balance, I see NO need to hammer this issue home by causing me to fall down. It's completely unnecessary, and the black & blue marks that appear on my body mysteriously the next day are beyond me. Similarly, it should never take me more than 45 seconds to get the front door key into the lock.


4. Furthermore: The hangovers have GOT to stop! This is getting ridiculous. I know a little penance for our previous evening's debauchery may be in order. But, the 3 p.m. hangover immobility is completely unacceptable. My entire day is shot. I ask that if the
proper precautions are taken (water, vitamin B, bread products, aspirin) prior to going to sleep/passing out (face down on the kitchen floor with a bag of popcorn or wherever). The hangover should be minimal and in no way interfere with my daily activities.



Alcohol, I have enjoyed our friendship for some years now and would like to ensure that we remain on good terms. You've been the invoker of great stories, the provocation for much laughter, and the needed companion when I just don't know what to do with the extra money in my pockets.

In order to continue this friendship, I ask that you carefully review my grievances above and address them immediately. I will look for an answer no later than Friday 3 p.m. (pre happy hour)on your possible solutions. And hopefully we can continue this fruitful partnership.

Thank you,
Your Biggest Fan

Finally.....

Well I finally got a job and finally got a chance to put a blog up about it. My new job is so cool and I love it so much. I am working in a warehouse (which I absolutley love). There is only 4 or 5 other people that work there other than me and it's so laid back there and so easy. It's so easy even a cave man can do it (like they say on that commercial on TV). Anyway......today is a really blah and boring day and there is never anything to do in this area. I am seriously thinking about moving far far away and leaving everything behind. My father in law has cancer and we just found out 2 days ago. It is really sad and I don't really know what I could do, I guess that we really can't do anything but give him our love and go visit him and let him know that we care about him and that we are there for him...anyway.....I am not feeling well today , so I think that I am going to go lay down for awhile, if I feel up to it I will post another blog later.....

Holy Hottness

It has been so hot the past few days and I can't stand it..... I love summer and I love when it's warm out and you could go swimming and be out in the woods with friends and have a good time, but this weather is so hot....Considering that my husband & I live above a pizza shop it's so hot when they are open and have the oven's going that I can't even stay in my apartment....we have a fan , but that really doesn't do much justice. I put it in the window in our bedroom and put it on high and I think that it just blows hot air in from the outside....Yesterday I went and hung out at this bar all day b/c they have A.C. and I had a few drinks. Today is another hot day and I think that I am going to go to my mom's when my lil' brother gets out of school and go swimming..... I am a baby when it comes to the heat and I don't deal with it well....Bobby wants to go to his friend Don's house b/c he has to help him do something with his garage door or something like that. I don't really feel like going up there, just b/c it's so hot out and I don't want to be out in the heat and the catepillars are so bad this year for some reason.....well I am going to end this now and go find something to do with my day....til next time, just thought that I would post something, since I haven't in awhile....

I am NOT A Taxi!!!!

I am so sick and tired of the same stuff all the time. Bobby and I have this friend and he calls us at least once a week and needs a ride to work. The first few times I really didn't mind it, but after like the 4th or 5th time it started to get a little (actually alot) annoying. I mean don't get me wrong , they do give us money for gas and all that, but I am not a damn taxi and 1/2 the time I have things that I have to get done myself, so then I have to work my schedule around this persons. It is miserable out today, and I guess that my mood is going along with the weather. So now we have to give this person a ride and I am really annoyed, I said no and if it was up to me, it wouldn't be happening, but my husband is the kind of person that can't say no and it really bothers me. He is the one that always says NO to me if I want something, or want to do something and he doesn't want to do it, but he can't say NO to other people (people that don't even matter). I am just really mad today, and thought that I would put all of my thoughts down, but now that I did that, I think that I am feeling a little better :) , so till next time......

Looking for a job apparently in all the wrong places

I have been looking for a job for about 5 months now, and my patience are starting to run slim. I have applications in all over the place , my names in Temp Agencies, and still NO1 will call me back with a job oppurtunity. I am starting to get really disgusted and really depressed over this. I mean it is really hard these days for 2 people to survive on 1 income. It seems like today that if you don't have a college degree of some sort that you really can't find a decent job. Actually at this point I don't care how decent the job is, I just need $ . I do give my husband alot of credit though, I mean he has put up with me not working for this long and he could have thrown me out long ago, I mean I actually have no $ coming in. Sometimes I feel like such a loser, I mean I just sit in the house all day ( I am starting to become a hermit) . I just sit at home and watch t.v. and hang out with my kitty. I mean you could only clean a house so much. Actually my attic needs to be done, but I really haven't had the ammo to do that yet, and not only that, I kinda get freaked out being up there when I am home alone (don't know why I just get scared in attics). Well I am going to go search the web some more and see if I could find some sort of employment, at least til something better comes along, just thought that I would post a blog, because I haven't posted one in awhile and I really had nothing else to do at the moment, so til next time....ENJOY!!!!

Pure Laziness

I have not posted a blog in awhile, and the reason is because I have been lazy. Pure laziness is the reason that I have not been posting. For some reason I don't even write anymore (I used to write in my journal at least once a day), now I am lucky if I do it once a month. My brother (buddyfoote) posted a blog today saying that he is going to try to post at least one blog a day, and I think that I am going to steal his goal and try to do so myself. When I am home at night I just don't feel like doing a thing. I am hoping that I will be able to post at least once entry a day, whether it is just something that says hi, or that I don't really feel like typing, so I am going to make it short and to the point. Today is my husband's 25th birthday and it was an ok day. My mom made him breakfast, and a cake and we went there and had pizza and wings for dinner, but we are going to go to the bar now and have a shot and a beer before his birthday is over. I mean a birthday only comes once a year and I feel that 25 is a big one. So, til next time.....have a good 1 and enjoy!!!!
