Ok PMS is over..

Ha ha.. I just read over my previous post and I was pretty negative... And I even thought about deleting it.. But me being one not to edit myself too much..lol

And for that I am sorry. Its just there are some times that all those emotions overwhelm me and last night was "one of those nights"

So on to happy things.

I went to the mall today to shop for stuff for my trip. What did I buy? NOTHING... Yep, I am getting smart about this and lets face it if I keep shopping there is NO WAY I can wear everything I am buying in this lifetime, not to mention all the shopping that will be done in Vegas and California because my friends have never really seen an American mall where its not all old lady stuff and you can buy just about anything for a decent price.

Oh and I booked my spray tan. Talk about last minute; my tan technician only had 7:30pm on Thursday night to get me nice and tanned.

Fingers crossed y'all that I do not come out looking like an Oompa-Loompa!!
Cause even if I do I will be shit out of luck because my flight will be leaving less than 9 hours later...

4 days ya'll!! And I will be drinking fruity umbrella drinks pool side!!

Don't worry I will be taking my lap top so you will get the play by play from Vegas and California... EEEKKKK so exciting!!

Bah humbug to Mothers day..

Ok maybe a bit rash... a little harsh, but yesterdays mother day seemed almost a little hurtful.

I am going to spew this all out and I have thought about this ALL DAY!

I love my mom. We have had our ups ands downs but who hasn't? I actually miss her. And for me to utter those words is strange. Even for me. Over the years and the fact that I live 3000 miles away in a different country has helped us.

Sometimes you need to see the trees through the forest.

Anyways onto my bah humbug.

Yesterday started a day like many, I was excited for the day. I was excited it was mother's day. I made sure to call my mom as soon as I was coherent enough to do so, because today was a sleep in day for me.. We chatted a bit got caught up on family news I told her I loved her and started getting ready for work.

When I got to work it all changed. Everyone was busy (busiest day of the year) and ALL these familys who I have no idea where they came from in this little po dunk town, came out to eat at our restaurant.

But it was not that we were busy. Or that everyone was with their moms.

It dawned on me at 30 years old (although I have known for MUCH longer)

That I will never "have" this day.

The day to get all gussied up and head out to Chilli's, or Applebee's, or Outback with my "family" especially for this day.

I will never get that home made card, or ceramic frog made for me that has been hidden away under their bed so they can surprise me. I will never know the joys or successes of my own child. The never ending finger paintings and kisses and hugs.

My heart hurts for that. Until today I never really "thought" that way. I never really even talked about it with the hubby.... I am sitting up, not able to sleep and all of these emotions are coming back to me.

I was asked at least 15 times "Are you a mom?" And also people told me "Happy Mothers day" I just smiled and returned the gesture.

I feel like a fraud. A bit of a fake. Because for those brief moments that it was believed that I had children I relished in it.

I know I do not have to justify myself to anyone about "why" and what complications there would be or that I have been told by 3 nerologist that it just will not happen for me.

I came to terms with that a long time ago. Being from a family with 5 kids it almost seems natural to have a whole clan of my own. I gave up that hope years ago.

And maybe its because I am a women. And I can feel my clock ticking a little too loudly now; for something that will never be....

It still does not stop the longing and I do not know so much as it is to be a mother... But I would love to see the hubby be a father....

And who carries on for you if something happens? I mean what if something happened to me.. Or the hubby.. To not have that legacy...

And yes I know there are "ways" and "options" but none that would work for us....

We (the hubby and I) are both ok with not having kids. Its something we had discussed early on in the relationship but it leaves me with all these emotions of what if??

I am a firm believed in "Everything happens for a reason" and you never really know for sure what the future holds.

I am thankful each day, for the blessings in my life. For meeting and falling in love with my soul mate, the man of my dreams.

And I wonder out loud today what the plan is for me, for us? And our love???

(well other than 90 year old shoe hoarder with husband who has gone insane because there is no longer a bed frame holding up the bed its shoe boxes???)

Happpy Mothers day!!

(this picture is from last year when the hubby and I were in Canada and took my mom out for lunch!)
Hey y'all!!

Hope all my mommy readers have a great mothers day!!!

Wow is it May already???

Today is the busiest day of the year for the restaurant so wish me luck!! And lots of $$$ for Vegas...

Have a great day y'all!!

I always wondered about this stuff...

Ok have you ever bid on something on Ebay? Serious? Ok so you know how you almost ALWAYS lose? Someone out bids you at the last millisecond?

Well i figured out how the HELL they do it. They hire a snipper!!! I am serious here folks, there are thousands of sites out there that will snipe your items at little to no cost!!!

Bid Snippers

And NO this is not a paid advertisement I just thought this was REALLY interesting!!

OMG one week y'all!!

Till my Vegas/California girls trip!!!
I am so excited.

But I do have some worries. Like 50 pounds is the bag limit. 1 bag is the limit too without paying an extra charge. And because I am doing this on a budget ($59 flights) I am not wanting to pay the $50 over limit fee or the $25 extra bag fee.

So pack and re-pack is what I will be doing this week.

I will take pictures of the shoes that make the cut! lol Wardrobe selection has begun.

I have a few things I need to do this week like, 100000 sit ups.

Spray tan, real tan so I do not scare the children because lets face it. I am WHITE! Like worse than casper the ghost white!! Hopefully I will not turn orange. Orange is not my color!!

Ok so yes I giggle a little...

So I took this picture because she looked so cute sleeping.. Well she did not even budge so I thought to take video of her snoring....lol And yes that is the voice that I talk to her in...

Look how pissed she is at me....shes giving me that look that only a child can like "Dude, serious are you really taking a video of me?"






Goodness I love this dog!!

Facebook in Reality...

So I do not know if y'all are on facebook in real life.

I am and its how I keep in contact with all my family and friends.... This made me giggle.....

When the hubbys is away the wifey will buy shoes...lol

I VERY rarely buy shoes more than $20. My whole thought is, I have a closet FULL of shoes all under $20 and all that I love (well most of them anyways (under $20))

SOOO about 2 weeks ago when the hubby was away me and a girlfriend hit up "the mall" if you can even call it that AND I FELL IN LOVE!! Its not often I see a shoe that.I.must.have!

And they did not have my size. So they ordered them and said it would be a few days.. well the days went by and still no call that they were in.

Today I paid the store a little visit to see where my shoes were at and they looked them up and said "Oh well they shipped a week ago so they should be here any day now....no worries we will call you as soon as they arrive....."

A little disappointed I thanked them and began to browse the store ONLY TO FIND MY SPECIAL ORDERED SHOES ON THE SALES FLOOR!!!

So me being ever so "classy" I picked up my shoe and said "Humm why did they have to special order them when it seems this is exactly the shoe and size I ordered?"

They both (the sales associate and manager) ran around like chickens for the next 7 minutes trying to figure out "how this happened" and I thanked them and I was off with my new pretties!!!

Oh and then the hubby left this morning and he is gone for another week.... So what is a lonely wife to do but check out the mall... And I FOUND THESE!!! I was a little worried at first because I was in TJ Maxx and y'all know how expensive (to me anyways) most of their shoes are (Starting from $29.9 and up) but these were on sale $19.99!!!

Are they not the cutest summer shoes EVER??



The pictures do not do them justice... The pink ones have beads all over them... I am so excited for SUMMER!!!!

Talk about right place at the right time?

Ok so this guy is running a marathon and falls over with a heart attack.

Turns out that there were Firefighters and Paramedics that were also running the same marathon who administered aid to this man.

You can read the article here.

It just makes me fell so good that their are good people still in this world. And you know what. The firefighters and paramedics were running to raise money for fallen comrades.

How cool is that? Ok go read!!

About "that" Friend.. And ask Rondom Anything..

The one that left me in the bar.

Yep still have not talked to her.

I do not think that I will. Being an adult and having had the conversation with her the first and second time she shafted me at the bar I have decided to cut my losses.

I have a bag of stuff that is hers that I left on her doorstep and she never tried to contact me again...

A bit immature yes.

But to me if someone values my friendship she could have called to leave a message that she was sorry. All she has done is text me and said sorry 1 time.

I am hurt a bit and having talked to other friends about it I am not going to invest any more time into it..

I am over it..

Ok peeps fingers crossed for good news for me tomorrow!! Serious!!

And seeing how I am going to need some blogging material seeing how I will be doing this EVERYDAY!!! Please ask away... Anything you want to know that I have not already spurted out here....

SO CAN NOT WAIT

To see Iron Man!!! We are going tonight. All of the previews look awesome! Everyone I have spoken to that has seen it LOVED IT!!!

Full report back later tonight!!

Hope everyone has a happy weekend!!

*****Edit*****

It was AMAZING!!! And awesome and you MUST see this movie!!!

I was surprised really, everyone said how good it was but to be honest that some times makes me not want to see a movie. Or you know one of those movies that you see the previews for and looks really good but you go see it and have already seen the best parts through the previews?? Its not one of those movies!!!

Ok, go now. Pay full price and see it in the theater.

In case you wondered how spoiled she really is?

I snapped this picture yesterday morning....



She is on Daddy's side of the bed and yes her head is on his pillow and she is baried in all the blankets.

To be honest I HATED the fact of a dog in the bed. And when we were in California the vet said it was a bad idea to let the dog in the bed so she was never aloud.

Well fast forward to our move. She got sick and now its just a cute little think we both love. She loves it too, she snuggles against me at night and in the morning after shes had breakfast with daddy she climbs back into bed with me on his side and "sighs" all loud and everything like "Oh this is the life..."

Blog Every Day in May

Everyone is doing it... LoL Ok so I have been a bad blogger so to speak so for the month of May I will attempt to blog every day... VI says she got it from a friend so I am going to try too!!

This could be interesting

Good things in Random land

One thing I can tell you about and the other you will need to wait for.

Well today was my day off and I decided to go shopping, well with the impending girls trip to Vegas and California and the fact that I have lost some weight and had no "real" summer stuff I ventured out to spend the day by myself shopping.

It was BEAUTIFUL out and sunny and a balmy 78 degrees hot enough to put the top down but seeing how my ass/body has not seen sun in MONTHS I voted not to put the top down seeing how I would have burnt to a crisp!

Anyways busy shopping and work calls. Usually on my days off and being that I was 40 miles from home I actually picked up the call. Turns out the general manager thinks I am awesome.
How do I know this? Well they asked me if I would "play manager" for them a couple nights a week in stead of serving. WOW, WOW, WOW. I am not being promoted to manager or anything they just think I am so fabulous and I have such a great attitude (***snickers***) when I come into work that they (ALL 4 of them) thought it would be a great fit for me.
See they want me to "work the room" so to speak a couple nights a week to promote outstanding service and to give coaching feedback.

TOTALLY up my ally. And I am stoked. How cool is that??

The other news you have to wait for. Yep because I am cruel like that, hopefully it will be BETTER news than above.

And I got this in an email today... tee hee

Yeah!! The hubby is home today

I have not seen him yet but I will tonight after my shift. Its so weird how much I miss him when he is gone.
Daisy also sort of mops around although she certainly is treated with lots of walks and treats.
Its so funny I should take a video of home excited she gets to go outside, you would think we kept her locked in a cage.. Actually I am going to take that video for all your viewing enjoyment....

Things that I witnesses today...

Weird day for sure.
Ok so I was walking into Ross to see if they had recieved any more FABULOUS shoes in for my Vegas trip (the key is to check every couple of days for the best selection) I was actually not even there for me, I was there for Melissa who is my best friends sister who spotted a pair of my shoes that she HAD TO HAVE (I swear I rub off on them) These are them... But I could not find them in her size seeing how its been a while since I got them....


Aren't they pretty!!!

Anyways I am walking across the street and this guy comes out with 1 kid under his arm and 2 3-4 year olds with those little leash things on their backs? You know the ones you see at Disney land? Anyways, both kids come running across the street, obviously without looking and dad races in one direction after one and I go running after the other. This is a busy parking lot and once I catch the kid I usher him back to his dad.
Not so much as a thank you.
Nope.
He threw all 3 kids in the van and drove off. UNRESTRAINED, yep just threw them in while screaming at them.
Weird? No?

Anyways into Ross I went and I came out empty handed and off to Target to get doggie treats AND THAT SAME GUY WITH KIDS RUNNING A MUCK was letting them run through the streets at Target.

TAKE YOUR KIDS HOME ITS OBVIOUS you can not handle them!!!

Very refreshing!!

So the hubby is gone, yet again until Thursday so its me and Daisy again.
Today was a good day, after getting called into work and then when I got there someone else wanted the shift so I happily obliged to leave and spent the day with Daisy.
We had a nice long walk and then I met up with a friend for dinner, being the good doggy mommy that I am I even saved half of my steak for Daisy.
Sounds weird I know, but lets face it she is a bit spoiled and I kinda felt quilty after spending the day with her to just shaft her so steak it was.
And She LOVED it, gobbled it up in a few bites. She looked so cute eating it she is now laying in a food comma at my feet while I type this.

I have no idea what I did when we did not have a dog... I love her to bits!

After dinner we hit up the mall for some shopping, although I did not find anything in my hunt for cute outfits for Vegas my friend did.
Its funny how some things surprise you sometimes. Lets call this friend Kat. Well because its not her real name and I like to mix it up like that.
Me and a friend believe it or not met her at a bar. We were sitting there drinking and she was joking around with a friend doing the Save The Last Dance, Dance? You know the one where she is sitting on the chair rocking back and forth? No? Anyways her friend does not get the joke but I see her and seeing how I knew what she was doing I did the next move.
Well she almost fell out of her chair that I got it and we started talking. Turns out we have a lot in common (More than just the shoes too!!) Kat was the friend I went out with tonight, we did dinner, some shopping then we went to her house to watch Juno. I LOVE IT, I cried and I laughed it really was a great movie.
What surprises me though is that connection I feel with her. Its been a long time since I have "made a new friend" if that does not sound too weird. But not a new acquaintance an actual friend, someone I can be my goofy self around and shes just as goofy. She LOVES shoes to, but shes really laid back and no drama which is really cool with me!
Its refreshing to meet someone that although we have only been out a few times I feel like I can really call her a friend.

Is it Saturday already?

Wow.. I have not even been online in a few days. Work has been busy, the hubby leaves Monday and is gone another week for work so it will be just me and Daisy alone.... This is a picture I took to send to him last time he went away that "your girls miss you"



Last night was a funny night at work, 3 people from the office I previously worked in came in for dinner. I could tell by the look from one of them and the "short" conversation that she looked down on me for working in a restaurant. I smiled and laughed about it, I mean I did not come to work here for your FRIGGIN approval, one of the other girls that I was rather close with came in and we talked for over an hour it was great to get caught up. I told her to MAKE SURE she tells my old boss that she ran into me waiting tables so my ex-manager can REALLY feel the sting....lol She even said I looked happier and I agreed that I was.... I mean working back in a restaurant has brought me back to my roots, I am happy where I am, I make more money than I did working for that troll and I work less hours... I actually just turned down a full time position with the state (yes I know crazy) because I am not sure I want to go back to the 9-5..
I am happy at work and its been a long time since I have said that....
Shes going to email me the reaction...

Good thoughts, good thoughts

Things going on in my head at the moment.

1. What did I EVER do without DVR. Serious. I have no idea. Its so bad that I even WAIT for shows to be over to watch them only for the sole purpose of fast forwarding the commercials.

2. I am SO excited about all the new movies coming out. Baby Mama, Maid of Honor,

Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Iron Man. I know, I know, one of these things just does not belong there....I have weird tastes what can I say? Oh and Juno is out on Video tomorrow how exciting is that.. And NO I have not seen it yet

3. My girls trip to Vegas is fast approaching and I NEED to get serious about this bikini thing, that or its going to look pretty fabulous on someone OTHER than me..... Anyone know where I could get a cute one piece? Snow suit maybe?

4. I am sick. Like green boogies, coughing and hacking sick. But the good news is the weather has FINALLY made up its mind and its getting nice out. That and I have managed to get sick on my days off which is GREAT news that way I am not missing any work. Its the stupid weather change crap that made me sick. Damn mother nature.

And I am trying to send GOOD thoughts to Matt. They lost the baby. I held him for a bit while he cried at work and tried to put a good spin on it. Her body was not ready for a child. Now they have time for her to finish high school, him finish college they have many YEARS to have babies, I told him it was in Gods hands, if you believe or not it was gods choice to not bring that baby into this world. The baby was not ready. They are not ready. There is nothing you can really say to console someone who has lost a child and my heart aches for their loss, but knowing also in my heart that she is ONLY 15 and him 19 that god has other plans for them right now......

.

Do you remember? CONTEST!!! Free STUFF!!

Ok WAY back when I found a book at a yard sale I think and I remember posting about bookcrossing.com?

So I have thought of my "contest" lets say. Its easy to enter all you need to do is email me your home address and I will send you one of my favorite books that I will hand select from my collection!!!

All I ask that you do is when you receive my book that you read it and re-release it back into the wild. I love this site and I try to leave books I have read all over the place and I thought this was a really great way to get my books out!!! Not to mention the husband will love that I am thinning out my collection..... Until garage sale season again is upon us...lol

What do you think? Ok email me at crazyrandommusings@yahoo.ca and I will send you a book!!

How cool is that.. Is it the best "contest" EVER??? Oh and Patty, Princess, T-Girl and Whim I have the BEST books for you!!! ; )
So leave a comment.. spread the word... I have LOTS of books.. How cool is that... Book Karma anyone??? ** Oh I know the picture does not look like "lots" of books but trust me when I say I have BOXES of books not pictured!!**

Busy...

Work has been good.. and I have been working splits which I love to make as much money as possible for my trip to Vegas.
I had another job interview for a full time position back in an office that I declined. Call me crazy because I think I may be just a little bit but I called the lady and advised her I was not ready to go back full time to an office. I am happy where I am, I am making more money than I did working my 9-5 and I am not ready for office politics again.

I have been working on the shoe blog...lol

Things are good right now. I am in a good place, the snow is finally going away and its starting to get a little warmer out, I just took Daisy on a nice long walk and she LOVED it....

April Showers bring May flowers??

NOT WHERE I LIVE!!! This is the sight that I woke up to this morning.. yep had to dig the car out IN APRIL!!! Mother nature hates me. I think she is laughing at me because my first year in California on Christmas morning I joked that "I could get used to this" because there was no snow and it was sunny and warm. In fact I called my family from the balcony in a T-shirt and shorts.... Serves me right I guess......


In other news. Daisy is wearing orange today for April 10th for The American Society of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.... Did you and your Animals wear orange today?


Daisy loves my blog as you can tell....

Idol gives back

Was AMAZING!!! I do not even have words. It was so good!!

Did anyone else watch? Did anyone else donate. I could not help myself. It was amazing!

2 Days off I am losing my mind

Yep.
I do not know what to do with myself. Today I figure I will not even shower. I got called in yesterday and I stayed at work for 30 minutes. It was snowing BAD so needless to say no one wanted to come in for dinner.
Today I have :
1. Worked on my links
2. Worked out.
3. Walked the dog, its a little chilly out but she LOVED it.
4. Walked Daisy again.
5. Checked websites about Vegas.
6. Watched LOTS of daytime TV. I LOVE this new show called Bringing Baby home on TLC, these new parents bring thier newborns home and they ate taped for the first 36 hours. I cried I am not going to lie. But I had to change the channel because of this one mom that's voice was SO HIGH pitched it drove me crazy.

I am bored probably because the hubby is not home and is in Baltimore so I do not have much to do with myself.

Ok y'all I need some help too. Ms Alfreds mom is past her due date and needs all your thoughts and prayers to go into labor. So please send your love her way.. go check her out. She is as big as a house (sorry) lol..

Are you going to go Orange??

As we all know ASPCA is The American Society For the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
To find out more please click this link (As I am not sophisticated enough for you to be able to click the banner)

So will you and your pets wear Orange for ASPCA Day? If you remember Daisys Story about how badley abused and tortured she was when we found her you will know this is a cause close to my heart.

YEAH for Orange day!!! Stay tuned for pictures!!

Make sense? Nope not to me either, just that WHATEVER happened I no longer have a cute blog... So I am shopping around. I am also working on my "Shoe blog" which I am VERY excited about, when the new digs are open I will have y'all come by and throw up at how many pairs of shoes I have.

In other news. I AM PISSED at a girlfriend of mine right now and I just can not let it go. Ok give me your opinions.

We went out to the bar, there were 3 of us, We drank had a good time and agreed that we would take a cab home because it was OBVIOUS none of us were going to be in the condition to drive. Anyways, night goes on, dancing, drinking and then BITCH LEFT US AT THE BAR!!! The 3rd girl that went totally uped without saying anything to anyone and left.

In all my years of parting I HAVE NEVER left a friend at the bar. 1. Without saying something 2. Without making sure all parties had a SAFE way home 3. SHE WAS WAY TO DRUNK TO DRIVE but did it anyways. She had all of 2nd girls house keys, money ect in her purse so not only did she SHAFT at the bar we had to go to her house to get 2nd girls stuff.
If this was the first time this happened I would not have such a big issue, but this time was HUGE, 1. She drove drunk. Like REALLY drunk. 2. This is not the first time. 3. The bar is the size of my bathroom and SHE NEVER came to find us on the dance floor. 4. She never called to say she left. 5. She could have been drugged and dragged off but because this was not the first time I "knew" she just left.

I am so pissed! It just really bugs me because I am the type of person and if you are my friend you KNOW that I would sit outside that bar until all the lights were out and the bar staff was LEAVING before I left without EVERYONE I came with..... Also the first (and second) time this happened I MADE SURE to express my concerns with my friend about how angry I was. I mean the first time SHE LEFT ME ALONE!!! BY MY FUCKING SELF in a bar, in a strange town with no one else in the place that I knew. Second time she left for a boy but I knew people there.
And then this time. And I know I am quick to forgive but not this time.

Oh and I changed my Facebook status to Random is PISSED!!!
And now hers says Girl 3 is feeling bad...i was a bad friend last night...

I am so upset and disappointed that I can not even see straight

Always trust your gut!

Funny thing happened today at lunch. One of the ladies that I previously worked with came in for lunch and we had a good chat. She was someone that I would talk to often and I thought fondly of. She was one of the ladies when I said "I'm hanging on for the other position" told me to get my head out of the clouds because that would never happen.

Anyways. I still have not been replaced. Nope, not even interviews. Interesting? No? I thought so. So it just goes to show that my guts were true to me once more.....


OK WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO MY BLOG??? I was hoping it would re-appear? Too much to ask for... I am about to cry now.... WHAT HAPPENED?? I have not changed anything or anything.....

**sniff**sniff***

Now I need 2 new blog skins.. Anyone recommend anyone????? HELP!!

Ok seriously??

What happened to my blog? I can no longer see the pretty colors? I have tried to see it in 2 different applications?

Can you see it?

Look what I just got in the mail...

I had totally forgot that I ordered it about 3 weeks ago and it was back ordered but ITS HERE!! (not the girl just the bikini)
So needless to say there will be less blogging and MORE gym time in the next six weeks. She is too skinny and my boobs are WAY bigger so we will see when I try it on.. which will not be for another couple of weeks because I do not feel much like crying. I ordered one a few years ago and it was perfect. Because its a string bikini it should fit perfect.
And its PURPLE!!! From Victoria Secret and only $19 how cool is that. You can not even get a cute one at Target for that!!!
SOOO looking forward to this girls trip!!!

Opps I almost forgot...

Did I show these to you yet???




So I am going to start a new blog... Of just my shoes. And y'all are going to get to name them before I post it to the new blog.

Ok so whats a good name

1) For the blog

2) This PRETTY new pair of shoes that screams VEGAS HERE I COME!!

PS: The girl in the picture is my bestest girlfriend. Those are my arms around her...lol

After 15 years

I am not saying this for pity. Or sympathy. We all have our stories and our lives. This is a little piece of mine.

So a long time back. Almost 15 years to the day to be exact I had a family take a chance on me. I was 15 and moving out of my parents house.
1. Because they were going through a terrible divorce.
2. Because I LOVE my mom but could not live with her any longer.

They took a chance. They rented to someone who was 15 years old, working 3 jobs and going to high school full time. I will always remember that family. They could have said no. They could have requested that I not be placed with them. They took that chance with me. I mean who would agree to let someone who was 15 live with them, on their terms paying rent going to school..... Who would set her up and teach her the things she needed to know, give her things she needed to "get on her feet"?


Matt got the place. He moves in Monday. I am SO happy for him. He is a good kid and is doing the right thing. I had the blessing to meet his pregnant girlfriend today. She is only 15. They are MADLY in love. They are both good kids. Her parents drink and are abusive. His mom is in an abusive relationship, the love they have for each other will get them through. To see these kids so in love and so excited about what the future holds. So excited to stop the cycle. So excited to see that there is more to life than to be let to be beat down everyday emotionally and mentally.... I can only see the surface of the abuse they have both experienced, and I can never understand totally what they have both endured.

Please pray for them. They need this! And I am also excited about what the future holds for them. I think with a little help and some prayers theses kids will see that the future is good. People are good and in fact they; with their love can stop the cycle of abuse. They are both so excited to venture on this journey together. Him already the dotting dad not wanting his pregnant "wife" to work, already having had set aside the money for the birth (only 3 months in) to also cover an complications that arise.
Good kids.
Smart kids.
Finally getting a break.
The landlords agreed to let him pay only 1/2 the deposit and the rest of rent and deposit on the 5ht of the month.
They were sure to state that they NEVER do this.

They took me for my word. And for that I am proud. Having know Matt for 3 days, sometimes you just know about someone.........

Sometimes you just get that feeling about someone

So there is this kid I work with, lets call him Matt (not he real name) I have a good feeling about this kid.
We were off work one night and I noticed him start to walk and I yelled at him "Where did you park"
He explained he did not have the car tonight his girlfriend did so he was just going to walk home. At first he refused my ride and because it was so cold I insisted he take the ride. He kept saying he did not live very far.
Turns out the poor kid walks 1 hour to work and back to his HOTEL. Folks this 18 year old kid was staying in a hotel and pays $1400 a month for it because this podunk town will not rent to him because he is only 18.
Anyways the reason he lives in a hotel is his mother threw him out.
Why?
Because her boyfriend beats her and he stood up for her and for "getting involved" she threw him out on the car ride to the hospital to fix her broken arm.
Yep.
So I called in a favor to my land lords. Not sure if I ever told you about them, they are like 80 and super nice but very leary as they have had a few people take advantage of them and the last people they evicted from the open apartment owes them $1800.
I told them I would vouge for this kid. I barely know him but he seems like good kid.
Also turns out his girlfriend is pregnant and he is putting away money for when the baby is born, I have yet to be REALLY wrong about someone and I am going out on a limb for the kid with our landlord but you know, some times people just need a break.
I also told him until he is back on his feet he could borrow our spare bed that is collecting dust until he is up and running again.
And towels and sheets because LORD knows I have enough to go around....
The landlords said he can not move in until May because they want to meet him, ect and I called them back to again vouge for the kid and they are going to have a friend interview him so he can get the keys hopefully by this weekend.....
Fingers crossed folks, I hope this all works out.

I miss the hubby...

He is in Atlanta for the week for work. And today because of the time change and the fact that he is in meetings all day we have not been able to talk.
And I miss him.
So does Daisy, she sat up last night until almost 3am in her bed by the door to see if he would come home, when he did not she finally got into bed with me, it almost seems like she is moping around too.. Do you think she misses him? Its so strange I have even spoiled her with extra walks and even took her in the car today to "lift" her mood....
He'll be back Friday night so only 3 more sleeps!!!

I won, I won, I WON!!!

So excited.. I entered a contest over at Ms. Princess of the Universe AND I WON!!! So I go this in the mail today!!!


And did I mention that Ms. Princess is from Canada, and now she is my NEW BFF because she sent me Laura Secord chocholate which are my FAV and they can not be ordered from the US. EEKKK Ok confession I have already opened and eaten 1/2 the box for breakfast...
I won a CD of all Canadian artist and I am so excited to load it to my computer and rock out at the gym.....

Now I am going to have to think up a contest... HUMM I am thinking it will have to have something to do with shoes...... For me AND the contest winner ha ha

HAPPY EASTER!

Busy, Busy, Busy!!

I got another job. I did what I said I was going to do and I went back to my roots. I am really excited about it too. I am working at a GREAT restaurant and the people I work with are really laid back and almost already feel like family. I have also still been working my Part-time gig so I have had barely time to do laundry and check email. It feels good to be back in the zone.

You know how I always say everything happens for a reason. I had NEVER read this until today, it really makes sense to me now...

To have faith is to be sure of the things we hope for, to be certain of the things we cannot see.

This post got my panties in a bunch!!

So Deutlich posted about men and sexual harassment. Being a women with DD's since I was 17 I can TOTALLY feel her pain.

Now before I post my comment to her post I have to tell you this comment has much swearing in it as it should because it is very fitting from a time that I was sexual assaulted. This is one of the only times in my life that I saw RED. Even just posting this I have broken out in stress hives...

Ok go read THIS POST its called keep your dick to yourself!! I will wait..... She is really a great writer and I seem to get caught up quite a bit in what she writes...


Ok this is my comment:

Once upon a time there was this girl named Random. She was a bartender and LOVED her job it was her part time gig.. she was good at it too. The particular bar she was working at had a "perverts row" not a strip club she called it that because on the way to the ladies bathroom the men would line up as if they were in a strip club and oggle the ladies...
Anyway one day the bar was full and young Random needed to pee so as she was walking passed perverts row, motherfucker reached out and grabbed Randoms boob. Well having 3 brothers she balled her hand up in a fist,. grabbed as tight as she could to motherfuckers shirt and FUCKING NAILED HIM IN THE FACE, much bleeding occurred and motherfucker then wanted to fight me actually lunging at me. RANDOM DID NOT BACK DOWN SHE EGGED HIM ON> Well motherfuckers friend decided to grab Randoms arms from behind her so she would stop egging his friend on. Well RANDOM fought like a son of a bitch and when motherfuckers friend would not let go Random kicked motherfucker as hard as she could in the face in her 3 inch heels.
Well motherfucker wanted to press chargers all bloody and crap so the police officer LAUGHED at him and said "This 100 pound chick did this to you?? (those were the days)" And besides she would counter press charges of assault back on you for touching her...
I busted 2 teeth with my wondrous kicking ability and I "think" but can not be sure that I came close to breaking his nose based on the amount of blood oozing from his face...

Moral of the story. Do not mess with a chick in 3 inch heels with 3 brothers motherfuckers......

So finally I know for sure...

You know how you sometimes just "know"
Well I left another message with the dream job this morning, and how I "knew" was last week when I talked to the hiring manager he said that he had 2 more interviews. I "knew" because when I interviewed 2 weeks earlier he said he had 2 more people that same day. So they had 2 more interviews on top of the 2 they had that day.
Well they went with an internal candidate. It turns out she has been with the company 8 years, but went on to say that had she not been a candidate I would have been the one they would have hired.
So there is my silver lining.... I "almost" got my dream job, but they also said they will keep me in mind for any other openings they have come up.

A little retail therapy...

Shoes always cure any aliment..... And I figure I am starting a new job tomorrow working in a restaurant for the time being...

What do you you think??

Things I am thankful for because there is ALWAYS a silver lining

I read back over my last post from my delusional state last evening when I could not sleep. I was still wide awake at 6am when the hubby got up for work.

I am thankful for

1. Having been able to sleep even for just a little bit of time when hubby was off to work.

2. For the love of a dog that NO MATTER what she still loves me and showers me with kisses even if I am crying (not a big crier just a REALLY long week)

3. Being healthy enough to work. As this had not always been the case.

4. For the "new job" I have to go to on Monday if I still have not heard from the dream job.

5. The love of a husband that NO MATTER what I throw his way we always bounce back ahead of the game.

6. For the love of girlfriends that no matter what I upset about at that particular time they can still make me spit milk out of my nose laughing at their antics. I mean the answer to it all will always be "Don't worry about it, just put on your sexy shoes and all is well"

Movie marathon and things that bug me...

So I went to the video store tonight with the intentions of getting No country for old men.
I walked out with 4 movies. Why 4
Well we just got a new membership at said movie place and they give you 1/2 price movies for the first 30 days.. And then they had rent one get one free, SOOOO for 4$ I got

Dan in Real Life
Hit Man
Rendition (so, so movie)


And luckly No Country for old men she was putting me on the "waiting list" and then someone walked in with a copy... Score.

Things that bug me VERSION 3.0

1. Bad drivers.
2. Not being able to sleep ( 4th night running, seeing how I am typing this at 1am)
3. Not wanting to take a sleeping pill for 4th night in a row because then I will NEVER be able to sleep again.
4. Having back pain SO BAD, that I just want to drug myself.. but the stubborn kid in me says "No way, you can do this" Fucking cheer leader.
5. Dogs that pee in the bed. (serious she NEVER does this) but gets a free pass because lets face it she gets away with murder.
6. Dogs that pee in bed and GET IT ON EVERY sheet and blanket in said bed.
7. Husbands that could sleep through a train running through the house. Serious the man could sleep standing up (prior Army) I wish for one minute I could sleep like that. Hell my neighbor farts 4 houses away I wake up. Frig
8. Sleeping on the couch because your back hurts so bad and you can not get comfortable in the bed.
9. Not wanting to sleep in the spare bed because... well... not sure about that room.
10. Needing a pedicure but not having a job, means not being able to afford a pedicure.
11. Having 15 loads of sheets and blankets to wash in the morning.
12. Being un-employed and having the time to wash 15 loads of laundry.
13. Not having heard from the DREAM JOB, just call me already, good news or bad news I would sort of like to get on with it.

Thats if for now I think... Its now 3:05 am and sleep still alludes me.

Thanks y'all

So Daisy is doing well.
We have already broken all of the rules. Umm yeah. But the vet said because she is in heat, and shes been there 3 different times before for the "same" issue, the chances she ate a pill was 99.99% that she did not. Even if she did it would not have made her sick seeing how its a drug prescribed to dogs for depression (dogs suffer from depression?)
Anyways she milking it and that's fine with us. We love her and shes cute, she stinks a bit right now but seeing what she went through yesterday I figure the bath can wait...

In other news I am still waiting to hear about my dream job. So far I am 0-5 interviews which has NEVER happened to me, until this time I have ALWAYS got any job that I interviewed for so this is a BIG FRIGGIN pill to swallow. But staying positive and having been through what I have been everything will work itself out.

Life is a learning experience and thank goodness I have the love and support of an amazing husband.

As if it could not get worse!!! And reason 16789568 I should never have children

I just rushed Daisy to the Doggie ER... I had a SNOTTY, SOBBING CRY in front of about 13 people. 5 being vet people, the other 8 were people waiting patiently with their pets for their scheduled appointments. IT.WAS.MESSY.

Last night I was having a REALLY hard time sleeping, so I started fumbling through my medication drawer (from my accident) to find those GLORIOUS sleeping pills that had been prescribed to me and could knock out a 300 pound man. Yeah those ones.
Anyways in my quest for sleep at 4:23am this morning I dropped some on the floor, I immediately spring to action and turn on the lights and started scouring under the bed (Daisys favorite hiding spot) and found all of them, much to the amusement of the hubby who is shouting from bed "What are you doing?"

"I dropped some pills I do not want Daisy to get them"

"Babe, do you remember how hard it was to get her to take her own medication, shes sure as hell not going to eat one of yours"

I found 2, took one turned out the lights and went to bed.

End of story. So I thought.

Well about an hour ago Daisy walks into the living room while I am scouring the net for a job and she looks like a drunken sailor. I pick her up, run to the bedroom where she had been to find she vomited in the bed like 5 times. I frantically call the husband and tell him I am off to the vet.
Daisy even fought getting into the car and SHE LOVES THE CAR, as we are driving she is still heaving and spitting out this white froth, this scares me to DEATH and much I love yous and crying ensues, I get to the Vet and tell them my dog swallowed my sleeping pills, through the snot and tears **much to the shock and dirty looks from the other "obviously"; more responsible pet owners***
They rush her in, take my prescription bottle and Daisy and then 2 vets come back out without my dog. I think I am immediately going to be carted off to Doggie prison when they begin to explain that the medication "she may or may not have swallowed" is something they routinely give to dogs suffering from depression. The side effects for an overdose are unknown but being that it could have been 1-2 people strength pills that would not hurt her that bad. THAT BAD what does that mean?? They said they are going to keep her for observations in the doggie ICU and that I could call @4pm to see if I can pick her up (to arrange for the doggie prison to pick me up)
They told me not to worry because the last 2 times she has been to this SAME vet in 6 months it was due to vomitting. She said this could be an underlying problem with her just having a REALLY weak stomach. They went over the whole "What do you feed her" and tell me that she can
a) NEVER have human food again.
b) No longer eat the wet dog food Little Cesare s because of all the sugar and additives.
c) No more begging strips HER FAVORITE! and the only treat she will eat

Now I do not know about you and your dogs, but Daisy is S.P.O.I.L.E.D. but the vet in no uncertain terms has not so "directly" said "You are making your dog sick" and that BREAKS my heart so I am sticking to the rules (with exception to NEVER have human food because she said plain chicken and rice is ok, oh and the begging strips just not as many....)

***Edit*** she is home safe and sound. They still will never "know" for sure if she swallowed a pill or not seeing how after some antibiotics and blood work and some anti nausea shes fine. Back to her old self. Just goes to show I would be A MESS without her****

Day 2 of unemployment..

This sucks... Serious I had the weekend off and then yesterday I got to sleep in till 11 which was AWESOME and only being day 2 I should not be fretting too bad, but I am.
I need a job.
So from both jobs that I interviewed for on Wednesday that I "thought" I had rocked did not pan out the way I had panned. Nope. Job #1 called with a lame excuse as to why they went with another candidate. However they did give me props and tell me that if I was ever applying for another job in the same area to call him first and he would contact the panel for me and tell them what a great candidate I would be.
Left message for dream job yesterday and got a call back this morning that they "Have not made any decisions and had 2 more interviews today"
This could be good or bad.
Humm I think I will eat chocolate.

In other great news I FINALLY made it to the gym yesterday... Umm yeah that girl running on the treadmill whose thighs rubbing together are causing a small fire? That was me ***waves to the crowd*** thank goodness there is a fire station across the street!!

All is well in Random land... And shoes!!

I went in yesterday.
WHAT. A. RELIEF.
My manager was really cool about it (as much as she could be "knowing" she was the issue). I also talked to the VP and CEO and thanked them for the opportunity of working for them.
Clean out my desk, said my goodbyes. It went REALLY well.

I still feel sick at the fact that I am unemployed. But I know EVERYTHING happens for a reason, I can always go back to my roots of serving or bar tending which I may do for a while just to get back into the swing of things. ONLY if I do not get an offer next week which I am crossing my fingers that I will. I have a 3 week cusion that I will still get paid so things are looking good.

Things I have learned through all this shit:

1. I can no longer be a "yes man" I have always been at work and this will be a HUGE leap for me but thats how I let it get that bad!!!

2. No job is worth your own sanity. You need to TALK about what's going on, and less worry about not being perfect.

3. I can not please everyone.

4. I will not settle again.

5. I am a KICK ASS employee. I do not need to be told this its proof when the "start" a new position for you to stay with the company. This speaks volumes of my character.

Oh and 3 reasons I need to get a new job soon!
One

Two

Three.. well sort of these are new but not the ones I was going to take a picture of I have a new pair of black ones that are FABULOUS for work


Oh and I am making a new blog but I need a name... Its going to feature all of my shoes. Thats it my pink belly will show and all of my shoes will be on display.... My shoe closet... What should I call it?

Time to think about me...

So I finally did it.

I left my job with no intentions on going back. Ever.

Yesterday was a hard day for me, a LONG time ago when I was working for a company I was not happy with, a manager I was not happy with, life in general at that time was interesting. Anyways one morning when I was going out the door to work I all of a sudden felt sick, my heart started to almost beat out of my chest, I got dizzy and started having chest pains.
Well I had not lived at home for years but they first person I call is my mom. She is there in mock speed and I am rush to the emergency room.
MASSIVE panic attack. Yep. Crazy. I am not one to usually to play the drama queen and this was very scary and very real. My dr gave me some meds after "observing" me for a couple of days and I was aloud to go home when it was established I was not a threat to myself or others...
Lead up to yesterday. My manager has been out of town all week and was due back this morning... About 10am I started having chest pains. I started to sweet and my heart was racing. I call the husband.
"Babe, remember WAY back when I told you about the panic attack I had FOREVER ago?"

"Yeah, why"

"Well I am going to leave today and not come back, I have just barfed and my heart is beating out of my chest, I have the shakes and I feel that same way I did that morning..."

"I love you babe, you need to do what you need to do. I love you"

So with that I went back to my desk, got my things told the next in charge that I was going home sick and then this morning I left a message for my manager to call me when she was in the office so I could come in a talk to her.

I will not go back in I will talk to her on the phone and pick up my things on Monday.

I feel sick just waiting for the call... And I also feel guilty for being this irresponsible....

*** Edit to add... I just talked to her.. She says she understands COMPLETELY!! It was so strange but such a HUGE relief.. I go in @ 2pm to "talk" and to get things in order. After barfing all morning and worrying about this its all about to be over... wish me luck***

Some peoples children!!

One of my interviews was in Denver. Seeing how it was a bit away from where I live (its the dream job) I drove out giving myself enough time to find the place and make certain I had enough time to park ect.
Anyways I found where I was supposed be parked the car and found a starbucks because I was so early. Sitting in the window in one of those super plush chairs with business people everywhere and I saw a gentleman fall outside on the ice.
I immediately jump into action and ask the guy sitting in the plush chair beside me

"Excuse me can you watch my purse I am going to help that gentleman"

The JACKASS looked straight at me in my smart looking suit and heals and said "No"

What a fucker! I left my purse and ran outside anyways, with me under one arm and another man who stopped under the other we started to pull him up, with people looking on and actually "irritated" that we were in there way and they were stepping over him!!!!

Serious... to all the people that were irritated and stepped over us, as well as the jackass in the arm chair who refused to watch my purse. I hope in your life you are shown the same courtesy as you did on this day. And I hope you have taught your own children better....

Fingers crossed y'all!

So yesterday went well... Really good. But I am not going to get to excited until I get an offer. If y'all could think and send all your good job thoughts my way I would MUCH appreciate it!!
One of the 2 I interviewed for was MY DREAM JOB. Serious there would not be a more perfect job for me. Serious. I am excited about what may be, and I know if it is meant for me it will be!!
Oh and I bought shoes. Currently I have 7 pairs in my car (not all new) I brought 3 pairs with me yesterday because I was unsure of which I would ware to NAIL the interviews...I wore a different pair for each (needed to change it up a bit) and THEN on my way home I HAD TO (was forced) to stop at the DWS because lets face it there is not one closer than an hour and a half to me... And of COARSE I found some that I had to buy!! Oh and they made me cry and do a happy dance!!. NOT ONLY ARE THEY FINALLY GOING ON LINE, BUT THEY ARE ALSO OPENING A NEW STORE THAT IS ONLY 1/2 HOUR FROM ME!
Could the day get any better?? I also told both potential employers that I would need a week off in May for a prior commitment for my girls trip to VEGAS BABY.. and both said it would not be a problem. Call me cocky but that's pretty bold to bring up in a first interview no? In my defense I needed to be honest....and I needed them to know I had a life and was not going to BEG for one day off to go out and visit my husband in DC... ok I digress....
I so need a new job. So I was not in the office yesterday right? Yeah well strange thing I did not have ANY phone messages (WOULD NEVER HAPPEN) and I also spent ALL FRICKING morning working on emails. Well turns out 1/2 way through working on my emails when I called someone it turned out that my manager (WHO NEVER WORKS) had already auctioned most of the items so I spent 4 hours doing shit that had already been done. Bitch could have copied me on the emails or something? No? So frustrated!!


Pics coming soon....

She's so Vain... (Well not really...but you get it..)

Ok umm...So I HAD highlights in my hair, I went to the mall on Saturday because my hair is LONG over due, well turns out all the "salons" in the mall had 2 hour waits so I went shopping... And forgot about my hair (got some good deals though)
Anyways when I got home I realized I forgot to get a hair cut/color....
Yep so I went back out, not to the mall though because as I drove I remembered where the hubby gets his hair did for CHEAP. (I am all about the cheap haircut and color...what? Its hair it grows back... nothing a box die can not fix?) So I stop and walk in and announce I need some highlights and a cut
"We are sorry lady we only do cuts, no color, no highlights"
OK I was DESPERATE and needed a cut so I obliged and figured "I can just get a box die on the way home and die it all one color and then I can get new highlights when I find the time"

So yeah got the hair trimmed, picked up a box that "look" almost the color I needed and went home to apply.. All went well, I left it on for about 10 extra minutes and followed the instructions VERY CAREFULLY, making sure to massage and separate the strands....

Turns out the front looks FABULOUS, great color, very close to my color BUT WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT? It did not die my highlights on the top... It got some of them but not all...

So with my hair up I look normal, I called the salons today because I have a HUGE interview tomorrow to tell them my woes and how I need to be fixed and the box die and blah blah...

FUCK ME!!! None of the "salons" in the shitty small town I live in "FIX COLOR" because I used a permanent box die it can not be fixed with salon color

Me "Well you could just "redo" the highlights and it will all be well"

Salon Lady "Ummm no it does not work like that, because you boxed die, any highlights we do will change only the color of some hair when we "neutralize it" the old highlights will still be there...

Me "Well I could pick the same color, or just die it black right?"

Salon Lady "No that will not work, those highlights will still show......."

AKKKK

Ok now I am in trouble.... Nothing a box die can not fix my ASS~~


***Edit****
I went in, I begged, I signed a waiver that I DID NOT CARE if my hair fell our or turned orange, green or purple because at this point it did not matter because WHATEVER happened it would have to look better than it did..., and BEGGED them to PPPUULLLEEAAASEEE fix it....... It looks FABULOUS, as long as I still have hair in the morning I am sure I will ace both my interviews (its a secret till I get it : )****

Too much?

So I went out shopping today, I needed to get a new suit for my job interviews coming up, well y'all know how I LOVE me some Ross... I scored this baby today for $0.99. Yep ninety nine cents... I even showed the tag to the hubby so he would believe me.....The hubby says its "Too much", Its not an every day wear sort of dress and certainly not for my interviews but for ninety nine cents this puppy will get some play in VEGAS baby....Other than my fat ass arms and this picture making me look pretty gross...


What do you think? Too much? Or the Cats Meow?
