  • I have an overpowering urge to say, "love you" when I hang up my work phone. I don't, thank God.

    Things in my house keep breaking!  So far I have a hole in my living room ceiling from a leak, some kind of siding issue that caused the leak, a broken water heater, a broken grill, a broken car, the knob fell off my dryer and now I have to use pliers to turn it and our new computer won't register our jet pack so it's essentially useless w/o internet.  The water heater, grill and car all happened this week.  I'm so freaking overwhelmed.  If anything else goes wrong I'm going to go nuclear and God help anyone within a 200 mile radius. 

     

  • I received an invitation Thursday for a baby shower that is being thrown the following Sunday.  The shower is for my CW's girlfriend.  This CW is married to another woman that lives in another state.  So, I suppose she is his estranged wife?  I'm not planning on attending because the thought of attending a shower consisting of mostly CWs makes me want to stab my eyes out, I just think it's so weird.  I went to Target after work yesterday and picked up a gift that I brought in to work today to pass along since I will be missing the shower I had 3 days of notice for.  I feel like I'm being pretty judgy over this, but the whole thing is just strange to me.

  • Jeff hurt his back at work yesterday- and the first thing that came into my mind was "great. now all the shit we need to get done this weekend won't get done"
    I need to stop being so bitchy toward him.
    Cause on the other hand- the only thing I've been wanting to do all weekend is sneak off to see Godzilla with Madison.  
    I am a terrible person
    (in fairness- all the shit that needs to get done is stuff he needs to do. Mow - cause he'll never let me near his mower- grouting the tile -heaven forbid I touch that either, etc)

    I'm in New Orleans for the week and I'm not partying it up like most people here. In my defense, I grew up here and have been hanging out on Bourbon Street since I was 16. But still there is this urge when I'm in my hotel room by midnight, that I should be out there drinking Hand Grenades and shaking my ass in some bar. But that urge passes and I put on my PJs and go to bed. Old lady alert.
    I write sexy books. I read all the books. I love dresses & macarons.

  • I feel like i've gotten no work done this week.  I work from home, and this is a slower time for our job. It's not that I don't have work to do, its just that its such a manageable amount I keep putting it off.  Ugh.

    I do my best Bourbon Street partying around mid afternoon.  No need to be out late with the crowds and the super drunks!

  • My husband did a load of laundry last night that was a mix of stuff, and had a good portion of my underwear in it. Our condo doesn't have in unit laundry, so we use the complex laundry room. Either someone stole all of my underwear, or my husband lost it. So now I am stuck with mostly back up underwear and the kind that don't fit quite right. 

    How does a person lose underwear?

    I want to skip this entire next week and have tomorrow be Memorial Day.  We have two major weekend events coming up, and the one next Saturday is projected to be so epic in terms of the amount of visitors we get that I'm already wanting to crawl into a quiet hole and hide.  I don't like crowds, plus I know that our office is going to be high tension all next week, too.  No bueno.  Also, there's a big donor party next Friday night that I'd normally be excited to go and get dressed up for but I can't afford to buy a nice cocktail dress and shoes.  All my existing fancy party dresses are full length and my shoes don't fit right now because I have to have surgery on the one and almost every shoe I own makes me want to scream and cry, plus my super nice shoes are all too worn out to be presentable under a shorter hem.  Therefore I'm not going unless I have to, and if I have to I know I'm going to feel like a street urchin amongst the wealthy, which I hate.

    Ooh, pretty!   I wish we had an H&M here.  I am always leery about ordering dresses in particular because my body is built like a male superhero (broad on top, small at the waist) with boobs.

    I no longer use my complex laundry room ever since I threw out a pair of my daughter's underwear after they came of the dryer with a huge tear. I took my clean laundry to my apartment and came back 45 minutes later to get the next load that had dried and my daughter's underwear was gone. The rest of the trash was still in the can, but her underwear were clearly missing. Sick bastards.

  • I work in tech support, my iTunes matched expired a couple days ago because I was lazy and didn't update my CC info, but I renewed it last night.  Today iTunes match wasn't working on my phone, so I just messaged my husband to look at it for me.  He asks did you checking the setting? Of course iTunes match was turned off, I'm going to go hang my head in shame.

    Did you see SNL this past weekend?  You know that skit where they played a gameshow with their mom and they showed a photo of the "son" in front of the Eiffel tower that he had posted on FB and the neighbor had commented "Where is this?" on the photo? That just happened to me except the photo was of me in front of the Great Pyramid in Giza and my SMIL asked where it was.

  • Speaking of dumb things....earlier this week I thought the A/C in our one car needed to be recharged. It was a few days before my husband could look at it and I was so uncomfortable for days driving around. When he went to check it the "a/c" button had been bumped and turned off. Therefore even though I had it turned down to "low" the actual A/C wasn't on...opps!!!
