Get Drunk Sunday? Eh?
Well Mom and Mom #2 left today. Boy do I love 'em, BUT boy do I love to see 'em leave. That is not meant to be said in a bad way at all, but oh my...I'm sure you've all felt that...with a close relative or close family friend.
Yeah they spoiled us rotten, yes we appreciate it, yes we feel forever indebted to them, BUT it's so good to have our home back to ourselves.
It's been about 6 months since I've seen mom...that's the longest I've ever gone without seeing her. Living in a different country does that...yeah even if it's only a 7 hour drive, BUT (yes there's that BUT again) I am a mama's girl..I love my mom...but man, she can drive a priest to insanity (wait that happens daily haha).
A little bit of background here. My mom used to participate in beauty pageants..she used to have a life, she used to love life and ALL it had to offer. She used to live for life itself. Now? All that remains is a shell of her former self.
She's going on 58 and all she wants to do is sit, drink coffee, smoke cigarettes and bitch about her health problems. Her health problems are brought on by herself.
Yeah most people would feel sorry for her, but I don't. Not any longer.
For the last 15 years she has just given up on herself. She seems to think it's a rite of passage to becoming old. To develop emphysema, to let her bones and muscles degenerate and such. It seems mean, but the more people feel sorry for her...the happier she is. I've stopped feeling sorry for her...I can't help it mean as it sounds.
I am a big girl. Yeah I'm fat...so what...pffft. I can walk, I will walk, I do walk. She doesn't, she doesn't try, she doesn't wanna try. I sometimes think she has a death wish. She'll be in a wheelchair before she's 60 for crying out loud...and not from injuries...just from not taking care of herself...and not CARING about her health and not caring that people she loves care about her.
See the thing is..she FAKES...it'as not that she CAN'T walk, or move..it's that she doesn't want to. She has admitted that. We went to Louisville Kentucky..she didn't walk along the waterfront to take pics with us because she hurt. She didn't walk around Nashville with us because she hurt. But oh yeah she walked for over 2-3 hours all through Graceland and the gift shops, AND slept GREAT that night and felt better the next day....BUT when we wanted her to come into a mall with us..SUDDENLY she developed the "oh it hurts" syndrome.
I am TERRIFIED that my mom is gonna die by age 60. I WISH someone could make her realize that she is only hurting herself physically AND emotionally..as well as affecting everyone else emotionally. It sucks, but I truly hurt for her. yet I refuse to let her know how I feel about it anymore because she uses that against me, tries to make me feel even sorrier for her. Anyone have an idea, solution or anything? I really would like to be able to see my mom in 5, 10, 15, even 20 years down the road.
Ok so yeah, im drinking...I'm tipsy./..so therefore it's Get Drunk Sunday...Praise the Almighty Budweiner! Hallelubud!!!!! hahahaha. Over n Out!
:)
Well I still haven't gotten a chance to post anything worthwhile yet. Mom's still here and the hub has a few days booked off work. Havin a great time.
Last night I was sitting on my porch watching the big trucks roll by on the interstate...really wished I had my truck drivin' license. I'm dying to go back on the road...whether it be by car, or truck hahaha.
We got all our photo's developed and a bunch printed off my camera's memory card. Most of them turned out really nice. Some of the ones from inside Graceland were blurry and dark..since they don't allow you to turn the flash on inside.
It was funny because mom and her friend are Elvis nuts, yet I was more excited about going to Graceland than they were...yup I am a total dork haha.
Hopefully I can get back to regular posting soon. I just feel bad sitting at the computer when people are here. I've missed reading up and commenting on everyone's blogs. You can be sure I'll get to that once I have a day to myself.
If anyone's reading this...you have yourself a good day.
I'm Baaaaack!!
Got back from our road trip last night. Went to Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas (those two places for only about half hour..to gas up and refill coffee mugs) then came back through Indiana....will postmore later. Had a wonderful time!
I get to see my mama today!!!
Well let's hope this wind dies down so it'll be a nice day out.
Only a couple hours left until my mom, and mommy# 2 get here. No they are not lovers, but best friends. Caroline (mommy #2) never had kids of her own..so she has sorta taken me on as a daughter hahaha. I get spoiled twice as much now and you know...us girls just love that stuff :) This has been the longest stretch of time I have ever gone without seeing my mom. From Nov. til today! Yeah I am such a momma's girl, but hey nothin wrong with that!
Hope everyone who reads me had an excellent weekend. I sure did. Friday night was fun..we actually sat on the back porch and enjoyed the mild weather. I got back in touch with a friend I had given up on. She's now got a job and trying to make her life better so I figured everyone deserves a second chance. It was fun to have her around on Friday night.
Saturday we went for breakfast at our favourite place (Moe's of course) They have excellent breakfasts and good coffee (think I've mentioned that before eh). So we came home, relaxed and had a nap..then Saturday night one of the hub's friends was having a sort of birthday drunkfest at his girlfriends place. Man what a nice home. It's small but not tiny, beautiful yard and they had this screened in gazebo set up with chairs inside set in a circle. In the middle of the circle there was a mighty nice half size keg of beer OH YEAH that's what I'm talkin' about!
So after drinkin myself into near stupidity the hub decided it was time to take me home. Me and a couple of the other girls were starting to get mischievious and devious...and well you know what shenanigans will happen when drunken girls start making evil plans to pull pranks.
Now onto yesterday..was a nice day..woke up NOT hungover for once and yacked to my sister online for a bit then went back to bed...ahh glorious relaxing sunday. We had an invite to go for dinner at the brother in law's parents house. Man what a good dinner that was...I swear they had ALL the goodies I like. Plus the added bonus? They have three cats...oh man I swear if I hadn't met the hub I would have turned into a crazy cat lady for sure!
Well I'm off to go clean...I want this place looking nice for when mom and #2 arrive so that we can spend quality time instead of them sitting there drinking coffee while I tidy up haha!
Hope everyone is having a good day! :)
hmm
*sigh* I had a whole big post typed up when suddenly my stupid computer started going wonky...now im too lazy to retype...so Happy Easter.
Newest Renter/Vonage Update
Welcome
nonsensical flounderings as my newest renter this week. I must say that this blog is one of my personal favourites. Not too light, not too serious...the perfect balance for my dorky mind. So
Click NOW and enjoy!
Also to anyone else who bid...please try again next time...it's sad that I can only pick one per week.
Alright...I take back my rant about Vonage yesterday. It wasn't the service that was bad, but it was OUR computer that was to fault.
The hub spent the better part of last night fiddling with settings and different programs on the computer and it turns out that some of the programs running in the background and the settings were blocking not only the vonage, but a good part of our actual internet connection.
I'm really not sure exactly what it was because I've gotten out of the loop of messing with the computer since I've been lucky enough to not have many major computer problems in the last three years. Boy, am I glad he got it running.
I actually spoke to someone for the better part of an hour last night without losing the call, or my internet connection...YESSS!!
So internet....you've got one happy dork on your hands!!!
GRRRrrrrrRRRR
At this moment of time..I fucking HATE Vonage! Sad thing is...now I can't even connect to the internet when I unplug my cable modem from the vonage router and just plug it back into my computer.
I wonder if perhaps it's something to do with the piece of shit motorola routers they send out...i mean my cable modem is a motorola, but im sure there wouldn't be product conflicts with two products from the same company??? I don't know but I am so seriously pissed off right now.
I've been on the phone to Vonage tech support FOUR GOD DAMNED TIMES, and do you think that even ONE of those times I was able to speak to someone whose first language was English? HELL NO...god dammit I'm so fired up right now it's not even funny. Right now I'm about ready to take each and every single electronic device we have here, out into the driveway and then smash it to bits n pieces with a big fucking sledgehammer...ARGHHH!!
On that note...I need a cigarette...stupid fuckin vonage....
Vonage
So we got hooked up to vonage last night. Does anyone else use Vonage? It's pretty nifty, but sometimes it cuts out both the phone AND the internet.
The light on the motorola phone adapter blinks four times which according to the user manual it means that it is "Registering with your VoIP provider server". Now what I want to know is, if this is a regular occurence using Vonage, or if it's because it's a new account/set up if it just needs 24 hours to completely set up and calibrate?
Anyone who knows anything about this..wanna leave me a comment..as you can see it is working right now..but it sometimes cut's out for maybe 5 minutes or less, then it goes back on and works perfectly.
I was having a nice conversation with my mother in law last night (well actually making fun of her dorky son that I married haha) and all of a sudden my phone line died. *GASP* I had hoped she didn't think I just hung up on her..but well the connection started back up and we called her to let her know what happened. Same thing happened later when I was yacking to a friend back home...but that time it didn't reconnect for almost an hour.
So right now I'm not too happy with this whole Vonage thing...I might forgive it if it keeps being nice and stays connected.
dang eh
Really just totally, completely missing my friends back home right now. Shida your comment nearly made me cry...that was so sweet. Love ya girl. Really missin ya right now. I can't wait til May 5th either....now let's just hope the good ol boys at the border don't give you a hard time! Pssst just don't let 'em know that we're gonna get all smoked up n drunked up n go driving golf carts through the corn fields *snickering*
Also thanks to Denise and Babs for commenting. You two are great!!
The whole situation in the last post had really hurt my feelings...i felt like shit about it most of the day. I just can't stand two faced people. Them, liars and thiefs...can't stand the lot of them! I'm over it now..I think writing about it, and yacking to a friend about it helped ease my hurt and anxiety over the whole situation
My friends back home know me..they know that deep down I'm a sensitive person, but I like to let my full on dorkiness shine through all of that. If people aren't smiling or laughing over something i've said or done...then I haven't succeeded. I just love being a total dweeb and having people get a laugh out of it.
When I'm not laughing at something or just life in general then you know that something's gotta be wrong.
The way I see it is of course we're all different, of course we're not all going to have money, good jobs, an actual career, a good family, good looks and all that crap...but being able to see through the good and the bad to the person underneath the facade is what really matters. And I don't feel that I am getting that sort of deal from that person I was talking about.
I really do like that member of our family. But that whole thing completely threw me for a loop. I think I was more shocked from it than anything.
to you
Ok, first off let me begin by saying that I may not have the gift of communicating my thoughts and idea's verbally as many others..but that in no way means I am unintelligent or stupid. It's just that I have about a gazillion thoughts spinning through my mind at any moment...another thing is that i am VERY observant. You might not think so. You probably didn't think so last night while standing in line at mr freeze. Yup I SAW that. So, you don't want us (or specifically me) to attend your graduation or know your graduation date? Well instead of mouthing/whispering and then pointing over your shoulder at me...why don't you just get it out of the way and tell me you don't want me there...tell me you don't like me. Like it or not, i am part of this family now. I really don't care what you or anyone else thinks of me. Even though I love you and your family as much as my own.
I may not have graduated high school, or have aspirations of going to college...I am not the academic type. I just want to live my life as happily as I can, and I don't need people to pretend to like me just because they feel they have to. I do NOT play stupid, silly games like that. I am more mature than to stoop down to playing those stupid little games.
Now if I totally misunderstood the whole thing, then I am the one took look like an asshole and I'd deserve to...but if not...then just get it off your chest...tell me you don't like me, or don't want me around and I'll keep myself away, I can't stand being around people who are being nice just because!!!
I know you didn't like me at first because of the whole age difference thing, but that in no way shows what kind of person I am. That does not mean that I don't have a brain, or can't think, or see. You really have no idea what kind of person I am, the things I've seen or dealt with in my life. So next time please be a little more discreet when pointing at someone...whether it be from the front or the back...because it CAN be seen!!!!
Happy Saturday!
Well I guess I can say I survived Get Drunk Friday! Hahahaha seriously, I feel perfectly fine which surprises me. I haven't had more than one or two drinks for a few months now and a couple times I had been hungover from just having a few beers. Thankfully all that is wrong with me right now is that I'm tired. Went to bed after 1 in the morning, and up at six...at least I had enough wits about me to set up the coffee maker last night.
The kitties are driving me nuts this morning..Stash keeps peeking around corners at me and mewing, Jojo is following me and yappin' to me in kitty speak..then when I turn to pet her she runs..and oh is it funny to watch her run. You know how when you get a kitty fixed and they get old they have that saggy, hangin belly? Well she's got that and when she runs it sways and jiggles from side to side...It cracks me up.
Taz is being just his general lil dipshit self..getting into stuff, attacking the girls, and driving his human mama up the wall...wonder how much the chinese restaurant will give me for these furry lil bastards....HAHAHAHAHAHA!
GDFx3
1:04 A.M.`
Well I think th backspace button is my best friend. Seriously I can't type one word without the backspace key...so it's time for bed... Niters!!!!
UPDATE @ 12:26 A.M. I just tried to light my cigarette with my beer bottle...I think that qualifies as legally drunk!
ooooooooh boy...well got shit rinsed out (no...not shit..but coffee cups for my morning cofffeeee)
I feel the urge to exaggerate every damned letttttttterrrrrr AHAHAHAHAHAH
bUT this is my blog and im allowed to do it.
Dunno why bab's blog is unavailable...it's buggin me.
I cut a pic of Tony Stewart out of an older newspaper...gonna put it on my fridge...WOOT i love Tony...hehe I especially love it when he wins a race like last weekend. mY CHUBBY lil italian nascar driver...purrrr (wait...is he italian?)
My short hair is buggin me...i think it's cuz I now look like what I hate....someone who is stuck in the 80's. Gonna hafta getr it fixed,,make it look spiky n punky...not fluffy...ARGHHHH
GDFX2
I just realized that it's easier to type with a white screen showing because it lights up the general area.
I also just realized that the reason we need to get a new desk is that this keyboard tray is fucked and it just knocked a WHOLE beer over onto the floor....SACRELIGE (sp)I SAY!!!!! ALCOHOL ABUSE!!!!
Get Drunk Friday
Hey...I decided to post for Get Drunk Friday brought about by
The Rock Bitch.
I'm not much of a drinker anymore...but decided to go out to dinner with the hub tonight...especially since we didn't have much to eat here...hahaha the joys of moving eh.
Seeing as it's GDF, and we went for dinner I decided to have a few cold ones...there and here at home...mmm gotta lover Budweiner...not quite drunky drunky yet...but a few more and oh boy I be flyin'!!!! Got a good buzz on though...oh yeah that tha shit...hahhaha!
It's quite funny, because at the other place the desk was like not even a foot away from the couch and he could hear me typing/ Here? not a problem...he can't hear me..so therefore I can typity type type and the fucker doesn't hear a thing..MWAHHAHAHAHAHAHA. I'm so lovin it (hey this isn't an ad for mcD's motherfucker so STFU).
I just realized this is my third post for the day.. knowing me...in the state I'm in...there'll probably be more considering that he's asleep, and I'm wide awake and on my way to a good, full on trailer trash drunkfest all by my lonesome...ohooohh There's a tear in my beer....BOOOOHOOOOO hahahahaah
Severe Thunderstorm warning
Well I guess us in Wood County are now under a severe thunderstorm warning. I'm just hoping it's not too severe...but a nice big boomer would be good to settle down the storm lover within me! We have lotsa windows here at this place so I know where I'll be sitting to catch a good show! Hope everyone who have been under severe or tornado watches and warnings today are ok. Weather can be fun, but also a scary, dangerous thing. Be careful out there.
Second day
So here arrives the second day in the new place. I'm starting to get used to it, and little by little I'm getting things unpacked and set up.
We went looking for a desk last night..there were a few we really liked, but we decided to wait until the weekend to go to a few more stores and check out their selection. We don't want anything expensive..because we are well...um.. bad with desks hahaha. We do need something stable enough to hold this big pig of a monitor (oh I wish for a nice flat screen).
Since I had helped my sister and brother in law out with stuff before and during the move she made an appointment for me at the hair salon she goes to. I went in with hair nearly down to my shoulder with yucky yellow frizzy ends and I came out with SHORT hair that was ALL completely my natural colour, it's like a medium ash blonde or something. Feels so weird to have short hair again...and now the yucky part of it? The style suits me, BUT I have to actually spend time styling it...ARGGGH I hate using products and a blow dryer...but I guess I didn't really specify that I wanted an easy care cut...oh well it'll grow out. I also promised myself not to mess with my hair anymore...no more dying it different colours, then bleaching it back to blonde...that's why I screwed it up so bad in the first place.
Overall? I am actually happy with the way it looks...except right this moment (bed head)!
The kitties are getting more used to being here. The one that we thought we'd have the problem with was Stash...she took to this place like a fish to water. Jojo on the other hand yowled for about three straight hours and hid most of the day yesterday. She's out now bugging me and checking the place out...so I'm happy about that. Taz was kind of freaked out for the first hour or so...but after that he was out here rubbing against everything and checking it all out. By the end of the first night he was back to attacking the two girls and just generally being a dip shit...as usual hahaha!
Sooo Happy!
Well, We did it!! We moved...FINALLY! Switching the utilities over to our name proved to be easier for us than the in laws...so we moved in yesterday. We have like 90% of our stuff here..all the essentials..just random crap we gotta get out of the old place...but we've got a month or more to finish that up.
I'm just so friggin happy! I really don't know what to do with all this space we've got. But it's so nice not to be cramped up 3 feet from each other all the damned time.
What was completely surprising was the fact that the cable company was here this afternoon to hook us up..so now less than 24 hours after moving we're completely connected...YIPPEE!
Well off I go to walk around and gawk at all the space and try to find the kitties hiding spots...hahahaha.
Oh I've also inherited a turtle in this deal...his name is Spike :)
Welcome...
To my sidebar,
Haunted House Dressing. I have to say that there's a lot on this blog but a lot of it is funnier than ever! So click over there now and check it out! PLEASE please please? Sheesh..,see now I've resorted to begging...hmmph!!
Well quit reading this and just go
click!! :)
Iiiiiit's Mondaaaaaay!!!
I would like to know why the thunderstorms blow through here so quickly.
I remember some thunderstorms back home lasting at least an hour a lot of times with a ton of thunder and lightning. Everytime we get a line of storms that is severe south west of us we just get the piddly ass end of it. Yeah ok, I'm glad we haven't gotten any severe weather yet, you know crappin me pants is not my idea of a good time...but more than 20 minutes with only a few lightning strikes and rumbles of thunder isn't all that exciting either.
I WANT a damned good thunderstorm!!!
The picture I posted up for yesterday was supposed to be animated but it wasn't showing up that way..so I uploaded the pic to photobucket and got it working that way. Glad some people got a kick out of it. I know I can't help but chuckle at some of the cheesy shit I see online, and believe me..I am easily amused by very many things..especially the cheesy/dorky kinda stuff.
Well I'm off to drink some lovely coffee. I treated myself to a bottle of that Coffee mate french vanilla creamer...my in laws got me hooked on it... I usually treat myself to a lil carton of half and half cream, but noo I had to get on the good stuff... oh the horrors!!!
Cumin? Not just a spice anymore!
Hahahah, I got this in my email this morning and I just knew I had to post it up here :) Enjoy.
Grrr
I want a new template for this thing...found one..fixed it up as I needed to..or so I thought.
I dunno wtf I did wrong but nothing except my side bar showed up..so i changed it back..but dammit i wanna do something new with this, but I don't know how to create my own templates...wah wah wah...oh yeah gonna go swimming soon if I keep cryin myself a river...hahaha.
So? Someone wanna be super nice n give me some ideas, or give me a makeover? :)
Bad Bad Updater
Ok I'm sooo bad at updating this damn thing...things are gonna be pretty busy around here this weekend...so maybe I'll have a longer, better post next time.
We're not actually moving this weekend..we're going to move in a lot of our stuff throughout the week but we're waiting til all the utilities are switched over to the new place.
The kitties are driving me fuckin' bonkers. Taz decided he was going to do the *claw dance* on our feet at 6 am, in between attacking the ol girls..I finally had enough..got up and chased him behind something...he's such a devilish lil bugger! Why do I love kitties? I dunno...I must be nuts, but they do bring quality to my life.
Well here's a couple pics I took of Stash while she was sitting on my lap...giving me the eye hahaha!!
