She's me new pet (pointing to the side bar)
You have to click the more button and a fish will fly out.
I could have choose a puppy but I think a penguin is cooler.
And those who know me know how appropriate a penguin is.

Family Talks

So my cousin called today. It was nice we got caught up. I am excited she's coming to visit in Oct. And she promised this time so I am going to hold her to it. She's the blond. I think we are like 10 in this picture. I am not sure where I found this but I am sure it will embarrass her.
Oh and my mom called. She wants to come out for 2 weeks.
2 weeks. See I love my mom but I do not think as far as I can remember that we have ever really spent a lot of time together. She says her therapist thinks it would be a good idea for her to get away, lay in the sun, spend some time with family.
We have made plans for Vegas if she comes, you can not fly all the way out here and not go to Vegas. We are going to plan for the next couple of days.
Its sucks that I have to go back to work right now, but its probably better this way then we can spend time together at night. I love my husband to death but I think he will love me less if my mom is here for 2 weeks. We'll see how it all works out.

The hubby is at a job interview, his first now he's done school. I hate that we are both looking for a job right now. Its not as bad for him though cause he's already got a job he's been at for 4 years so he's stable there and its not a must that he gets a new one, all the pressure is on me.

Ahhh pressure

Its so gloomy outside

So we are supposed to get rain. And a lot of it. People are freaking out and its the only thing on the news other than the story about the mountain lion sleeping in someone's front yard.
Its funny how the weather sometimes plays with my mood. I wanted to stay in bed all day today, in fact I have moved momentarily to the couch to type this then I will iron my hubbies dress shirt (did I mention I do not iron?) he has an interview tonight so I hope I do I good job. It will probably still look like a 5 year old ironed it.
Hey I did not own an iron till I got married. If it needs to be ironed I do not buy it! Maybe secretly that's why I married a military guy. True story he used to iron the stuff at my place for me when we were dating.
Ahh I did marry a good man.

I am waiting to apply for anymore jobs because I have to call tomorrow to find out if I got the job I interviewed for on Thursday. I am going to be really upset if I do not get it.
I am excited about going back to work!

Yes it is possible

I have gone 2 days almost without blogging. I know weird. I usually post 3-4 times a day. The last few days have been uneventful. Nothing going on in my life other than the job search and hanging out with the Hubby. He's finally done school after 4 long years so the next few weeks will be an adjustment with him not going to school all the time.
It will be good to have a new job soon. I am dying to get back to work. I never thought I would say that, actually I was looking to go back to work after being injured on the second week, the first week was cool, time off but remember I was also laying in bed 24 hours out of the day because of my back.
I miss work.
I miss shopping for clothes for work.
If I go back to work I need to buy new "work" shoes. (sure I do)
I will also shower everyday (maybe depends how late I get up I am sick like that)
AAHH work.
I need a job...

Is anyone else watching the Olympics?

I have tried to watch some of it but it makes me fall asleep mostly. I try to watch the skating but after you have seen one routine they all seem to look the same. I like the summer Olympics better. I think I am biased though cause the summer Olympics has Gymnastics and well I am a big fan. Could be because I did 9 years of competitive gymnastics.
USA~ 23 Medals
Canada~ 20 medals.
I would also like to add that Canada women's Hockey team kicked ass and won Gold.
Looks like Canada is right on the US heals... Lol...

The best compliment EVER!

The weirdest thing happened today.
I went to the Casino to kill time while Craig was at school and I am sitting there minding my own business and this guy walks by and looks at me like he knows me (he doesn't) and he was with his girlfriend so I know he was not trying to pick me up, and then he walked by again and stopped and tapped me on the shoulder.
"Excuse me Miss? Do you do the Dove commercials?"
Me "I'm Sorry?"
"You have the most beautiful skin!"
This makes me blush (and it takes a lot to make me blush) and his girlfriend also agrees and says again out loud "You have such beautiful skin"
So everyone sitting at the blackjack table lean in and now everyone is staring at me some agree with them and a few of them nod and the lady next to me says "I was going to say something, it just so radiant!"
So now I am beet red and the guy says.
"I just had to stop and say something you are a beautiful girl"
Again his girlfriend nods her approval.
And usually I would be the attention whore and just love all the attention but I was just SO surprised and caught of guard.
What a great compliment.

So tomorrow I am going to find a random stranger and compliment them...

Friggin Hell!

Ok so I am an active Volunteer with The American Red Cross, and I had a meeting at the branch office tonight because my dumb ass agreed to do presentations for them at local schools.
When I agreed to do said presentations I did not really stop to think to much about it, I agreed and I had thought that 5 other people agreed but it was clear at the meeting that I will be the only one doing the presentations. Alone, in front of about 150 kids per presentation.
I am not worried about the presentation part, well because that's just me things like speaking in front of groups of people does not bother me but it's the commitment that I made. And seeing how I am the only one who showed up I feel bad about wanting to back out.
ITS A 3 MONTH COMMITMENT!
One day a week for 3 months. See I am looking at this in a selfish way because its a lot of my own time.
AH frig. I do love kids though so I guess it will be fun.....

Friggin hell who agreed to let me leave an impression on little kids.

My American Idol

So excited for the show tonight. I missed the ladies on Tuesday but the men did well so it is going to be a great season!!
So of the men here are my top 5
Chris~Ok he's hot and has a great voice~
Sway~ He was the only one who did something completely different~
Taylor~ He is so likeable, and such a great spirit~
Ace~ Because America is going to find him hot and he sings good too~
Elliot~ He's not much to look at but the boy can sing~

Not naming names but some of the guys really blew it last night!
And whats with the cocky bastards always looking into the cameras?? I HATE THAT! Why did the change things from last year and tell them to do this??
ITS SO TACKY!!

Anyways just my thought!

Who's your top 5?

WEEhooo I should have a job soon!

I had an interview today that went REALLY well, I was not going to blog about it cause I did not want to get too excited however I am excited so here you go.
The interview was and hour and a half and they had me do 100 different test and other office stuff but I think it went well.
Now watch they hire someone else..
That would be my luck all excited and then not get the job. But it has yet to happen in my life time that I do not get the job after the interview (yes I am just that damm charming)
Here's hoping
Oh and the best part??
They offered me more money than I asked for.
And work would be 2.9 miles from home. How friggin cool is that??
When does that ever happen? You get more than you asked for and its a hop skip and a jump from home?
I will not know until Tuesday which just happens to be the day of another interview I have with the county.
So keep your fingers crossed for me ok?

I am not a horrible person!

Oh I forgot,
While sitting in the waiting room with the reading materials I brought from home to entertain me (a few magazines that I had read but was going to re-read and leave for another fan)
So I am done re-reading my magazines and start to rip the front cover to take off my mailing address and I hear directly across from me this "GASP"
I look up to see an older lady sitting rather properly staring at me in disbelief.
The GASP was so loud as to have other on lookers also glance and give me dirty looks, I rip an article of interest from one of them and another "GASP" even louder this time so for some dumb ass reason I feel a need to validate myself by responding to all the dirty looks and addressing the rather quiet waiting area.
"These are mine I brought them from home"
So the old lady looks at me disgusted with my behavior like I just slapped a little kid for doing nothing at all...
Anyways I explained to the room who was giving me dirty looks.
"Theses are mine"
What I should have said was
"What the fuck are you looking at?? Mind your own damm business"

I still felt guilty about ripping shit from my own magazines.

Assholes

Babies any one?

So this friend of mine called the other day and she had a doctors appointment it turns out her husband was out of town so I offered to meet up with her so she would not have to be alone.
Yeah I arrive at what I thought would be a doctors office and it turned out to be a hospital
*** a little back story, not only do I hate doctors but I am deathly afraid of hospitals, Lets just say I have spent way too much time in hospitals and when I even get into proximity of one I become really nervous and nauseas****
Ok where was I? Oh we arrive
in separate cars at the Big Scary Hospital and go in, the smells start to make me sick and my hands start to shake, I put that to the back of my mind and try to remember why we are here. Not for me. We check in and proceed to the waiting room in the OBGYN.
I LOVE WOMEN WHO ARE PREGNANT. Not in a sick gross way but I think pregnant women are so beautiful, there were SO many!! Some with little bumps some with HUGE bumps one girl looked like she could go into labor any minute.
And today is a proud day that I did not even puke, there were a few minutes that I almost did and made sure I knew where the bathroom was in case, but I did good.

Oh and if he biological clock was not ticking before going there today it certainly is now! I was like a kid in a candy store peaking at all the babies coming in for check ups, playing peek-a-boo with the baby in the chair beside me...
Babies are so cute!!

Little Old Lady love it!

I made her cry, it was so cute she was SO surprised and ran around telling EVERYONE in earshot that her daughter baked her a cake, and insisted on it being cut into one thousand pieces to no one missed out on the tastiness...

AAHH to be old...

Wait, I am getting there, I found a gray hair today and it was long.
Guess what I did.... I pull it out.
Shut up I know 2 will grow back but I did it anyways.
I would be cute grey... Yeah right

No laughing at me for this!

Ok So I go to Bingo occasionally... In my Bingo adventures I have met this really cute couple and everytime I go I sit with them.
They are 80 years old, actually Lisa's birthday is today and she's 78.
So they made me promise I would be there tonight (they tell everyone at Bingo I am there daughter which is no way possible because they are Filipino but everyone goes with it and everyone knows me as there daughter)
Anyways so I baked her a cake. I know cheesy but she's an old lady and she loves sweets.
I also got her a little file folder thing for all her coupons because she's always losing things and I personalized it for her with her name and cute little flower stickers. Also cheesy I know but I hope she likes it.

I hope when I am 80 I will have the spirit that the two of them have, they are always joking around and hugging everyone. They are cute really.

Have I ever said "I Hate Doctors?"

Serious the doctor I am required to see is a dumb as we will call him Dr. Dumbass, so I go for a follow up today and he says
"So when do you want to do the surgery?"
"WHAT"
"Yeah your only option now is surgery when will you be ready?"
"I think I will wait and think about it, get myself into tip top shape and then maybe we can talk surgery, this is what the "final" doctor said would work best, because is it not true even if I have the surgery it may not change things?
"Well that can be true but you will never know"

I HATE DOCTORS! One says one thing another says another.....

SO I declined the surgery for the time being and I will revisit the idea in about a year and see where I am at. For now I will deal with the Vicodin comas on my bad days and deal with the pain on the "better" days.

AAHHH good days

I need to get drunk!

I need to go home soon I think.
Its almost been a year, the longest I have gone without a visit.
Too bad I need to get a job.

On another note I got a note back from the County Exam I went to, they say I passed now they want to interview me. So 2 interviews this week 1 for next week.

"Love" In the Animal sense of it-Stupid facts

Porcupines in order to make love, have to put down their spikes. They must lay down their only defense against the world in order to make a connection.

What if love is about the willingness to expose yourself and expose your everything with the chance you can be hurt? You leave it all to fate and trust it will all work out?

Penguins prefer to be `married', but they suffer long separations due to their migratory habits. When reunited, a pair will stand breast to breast, heads thrown back, singing loudly, with outstretched flippers trembling. Two weeks after a pair is formed, their union is consummated. Neither penguin will mate again that year. Actually, the Adelie penguins are known to mate for life.

Monogamy in the animal world? Its beautiful. Penguins have it all figured out. The way they great each other after being away for a long while is VERY similar to situations I have acted out and seen acted out in airports, train stations, bus stations all around the world.

WHITE-FRONTED PARROTS-These birds, native to Mexico and and Central America, are believed to be the only species besides humans to kiss. Before actually mating, male and female will lock their beaks and gently flick their tongues together. If kissing is satisfying for both parties, the male boldly takes the next step, by regurgitating his food for his girlfriend, to show his love. White-fronted parrots also share parenting, unlike many other species. When the female lays her one egg, both parents take turns incubating it. When the baby hatches, the couple feed and care for their offspring together.

How cute. I am not sure about the regurgitation however I am sure its a real "turn on" for the ladies. (the birds I mean) I think its amazing that both the male and female take care of the babies.

LYNX SPIDERS-When a male lynx spider feels the urge, he will capture his beauty in his web and wrap her in silk. Offering her this elegant meal (the silken web) is his way of wooing. When the mood is right, the female, distracted by her feast, will allow her suitor to mount her and begin mating. Oblivious, she ignores him and enjoys her supper.

(sorry no pick just looking at them on line gives me the creeps!! And they are one ugly ass spider!)
Does this draw a resemblance to anything we do? Dinner offering lol. If she's "satisfied" she allows him to mate with her??
Spiders EWWW I thought the resemblance to humans was uncanny

Ok really what else can I post about @ 3 am in the morning with insomnia attached to me like I had beat it to death and stole its dog?
Sounded funnier in my head
HOLY SHIT! Did you know MTV shows music videos this late at night? Serious I have just seen 3 in a row with no interuption of reality TV or Room Raiders!! (true story my friend works for FOX who actually films Room Raiders and she is required to watch EVERY episod to screen it for foul language, as well as NEXT. Serious she's the "bleep" girl)
I would shoot myself if I had to watch that crap ALL DAY!!

Ok this was disturbing!

Pick your language, watch it once.


What Really Happened to the Pentagon on 9/11?

Then watch it again!

My reaction?
"What the Fuck!"

GREY'S ANATOMY!!!

OMG!! And the caps is to emphasis how much I LOVE the show. See last week was a carry on from the week before THAT WAS FANTASTIC!! I love this show. If you have not seen it yet I would HIGHLY recommend you start to watch it.
GO GEORGE GO!!!
She's going to break his heart we all know this and the red head bitch will move away with the scorn lover because lets face it the marriage is over because of her bitchy whoring around ways...

(and for all those adoring fans... Yes I found a picture that did not have the cheating scanky wife I LOVE IT!)

Anyways I am hooked its addicting. Its weird as I re-read what I wrote it sounds like I am talking about a soap opera....Its not. Just a show with GREAT writers!

Blogger is eating my post???

So I have had a few people ask "What happened to that post?"
Blogger is eating them...
Has anyone else had this problem? I post it and then its gone??

Things that have been eaten

American Idol- Rantings in Red (pointing to the side bar) her friend Patrick Hall has made it to the final 12 men on the show. So if you would like to vote for someone who sort of knows someone who's blog you read then vote for him.

I love a good pedicure was another post.

Pretty interesting stuff really, I think blogger is eating the shitty post and does not like American idol or feet apparently.

Reasons I want to buy a house

1. Then there is no excuse not to have kids.....lol
2. I could have a scrapbook studio.
3. I could have a dog.
4. I could park my car in a garage. (not that it matters this is southern California)
5. More room for my shoes and purses.
6. SHOPPING
I would say #6 is my favorite, cause if you buy a house you then must furnish and decorate said house.... Ahhh what fun at least the hubby and I have the same sort of decorating ideas...
