the first thought that comes into my mind is you and your friends are all morons. except what you write about your girlfriend- she seems cool- and i know she must be very patient and maternal to put up with your big ego. its okay- i know my role in your life, even when you told me differently, was to give you an escape- a flat in the city- where life was different and sex was great. for you at least.
i still occasionally peruse your blog when i have an inkling of self doubt about moving on from you as quickly as you did me. well- as we both know it was a fabulous decision on your part to sneak around behind my back and be deceptive about both your actions and your intentions.
im sooooo glad that you hate kids and hate the thought of ever having kids because a: as you freely admit, you are way to selfish to ever be a parent, and b: the world doesnt need any more obese children.
when i wanted to gag the first time i saw you in person, that really should have been my first clue that something was not right with this picture. the fact that i was interested in you DESPITE your physicality doesnt speak much for either one of us, as it means i was deceiving myself.
so thanks again for being around when i was too busy to find anyone better or more appropriate for me, and you are welcome for the same thing.
turns out to be a win-win.

this is a very important year
in shoe history. Salvatore Ferragamo invented the wedge heel 70 years ago, in 1937. Also, the Chanel slingback turns 50 years old this year. Celebration!!!
Thank you, fashion fanatic Stacy London, for bringing this very important information into the public light.

i hate spiders
i am DEATHLY afraid of spiders. i will warn everyone up front that i WILL run screaming and very possibly crying across the room, down the street, and into the next county if i see one, eventually landing on the closest Very High Thing... which makes perfect sense, because they cant climb, can they? ... anyways there was a humungo one in the garage today, and being the loving and ever so protective mother i am, i sent kk into the garage with a high powered can of aerosol spot shot to kill it for me. then when she missed and it jsut ran away, i gave her my car keys and taught her how to turn on the ignition jsut far enough to roll up all the windows since of course spiders would rather be inside a nice SUV than anywhere else. who wouldnt, really?
so kk comes back inside, then goes out to the garage half an hour later to get Pink Blanket and tells me its baaaaaaack.
so i have her tell me where, this time i grab the spot shot, since i have excellent aim, and drown the fucker. he curls up in a ball and falls to the floor poisoned... or does he? no, he doesnt. he crawls back up, softly singing nana-nana-boo-boo and i give him another dose of the good stuff. this time he falls and i dont see him get up, then again, i dont see him at all, which means he is probably scurrying into my bedroom as we speak. never mind at this point that half a wall of drywall is drenched with a poisonous and fumes are filling the garage, because there is no reckoning with an arachnophobe under attack.
did i tell you that once i called my mom bawling at 3am to drive across town and kill a spider for me? she did. she smushed it all up in a biiiig paper towel and declared its time of death so i could finally become unparalyzed. at that point she came to hug me and comfort me and i thank her for the huge imposition she let me put on her by punching her and screaming dont you dare come near me with that thing. i didnt mean to hit my mom; it was a completely gutteral reaction. sorry mom.
ohhhh she better not read this blog lol.
anyways, long story short, i hate spiders.
but i love this site... wish she would post more. maybe they broke up, who knows.

my dad
i have to write a special post today- my dad turns 66 and i have to let everyone know how wonderful and fabulous he is. even though he gets on my nerves about the fact that i am a mazillion years old and still cant handle my finances as well as id like to be able to, i love him more than any man on earth and always will. he is how every man should be, in every way, and if i ever meet a man with half the qualities he has, well, i will be out of luck because some other girl will have snapped him up first.
but i keep hope. my mom and dad didnt get married until she was 31 and he was 35. so who knows what the future holds? all i know is i am lucky to have such a great example of how a man should be.
happy birthday dad- i love you!

11. You have to believe that Mel Gibson spent $25 million of his own money to make The Passion o f the Christ for financial gain only.

Score:
Points:
1. a. 2 b. 4 c. 6
2. a. 6 b. 4 c. 7 d. 2 e. 1
3. a. 4 b. 2 c. 5 d. 7 e. 6

9. a. 7 b. 6 c. 4 d. 2 e. 1
10. a. 4 b. 2 c. 3 d. 5 e. 6 f. 1
Now add up the total number of points.
Over 60 points: Others see you as someone they should "handle with care" You're seen as vain, self-centered, and who is extremely dominant. Others may admire you, wishing they could be more like you, but don't always trust you, hesitating to become too deeply involved with you.
51 to 60 points: Others see you as an exciting, highly volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural leader, who's quick to make decisions, though not always the right ones. They see you as bold and adventuresome, someone who will try anything once; someone who takes chances and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the excitement you radiate.
41 to 50 points: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting; someone who's constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out.
31 to 40 points: Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful and practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest...Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is ever broken.
21 to 30 points: Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It would really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment, expecting you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then, usually decide against it. They think this reaction is caused partly by your careful nature.
Under 21 points: People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive, someone who needs looking after, who always wants someone else to make the decisions and who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or anything. They see you as a worrier who always sees problems that don't exist. Some people think you're boring. Only those who know you well know that you aren't.

wednesday night tradition
during the summer has become blogging during commercial breaks of top chef. so not really any flow to follow but oh well. i know that predictability is not one of my top 5 best features ;)
ok so i am getting nauseous (one of my hardest words to remember how to spell) thinking about having teeth ripped out of my jaw tomorrow. im very excited but i also freak out at anything dental ever since my dentist tried to kill me 18 years ago. so i am trying to keep myself distracted so i dont overthink anything going into tomorrow.
i jsut feel like commenting right now, maybe talkin a little trash, or who knows- if i talk long enough i may have some kind of epiphany or say something brilliant (dont hold your breath) :P lots of side notes and brain wanders in this blog, yes? (and lots and lots of parentheses!!!)
i am going to go to the top 5 search movers and see what kind of disasters people care about these days:
1. High School Musical 2: Loved the first one- have seen it several times. HSM2 debuts Friday night on the Disney channel and I am going to watch it with kk and however many of her friends want to watch it with us. Troy Bolton is so dreamy... but i still wont let kk get HSM clothes with his face all over them!
2. Consumer Product Safety Commission: Um- how much are we paying these people to jsut find lead in toys now?!? OK to any of you who saw the story about chinese food vendors stuffing cardboard and mixed paper into hamburger buns to save money- im sure you are not surprised by lead paint on toys. No one can keep our kids or us safe all the time- but this was a pretty major oversight. if they can put powder in a tube and mix it with something and if it is cocaine it turns blue like on COPS, you would think they would have some easy kind of test for lead in paint. DUH!
3. Roz Savage: OK i didnt know who this was until just now. I googled her name and came up with some one-legged woman who sailed across the Atlantic alone or soemthing. Boo. Do something really impressive- like find room in my budget for car insurance. kidding folks, kidding.
4. Tropical Storm Erin: Glad I dont live anywhere where stuff like that happens. It is nice and calm up here... where we await The Big One. who knows if it will happen in our lifetimes. not something i care to dwell about. Anyways back to Erin. i jsut dont think i could live somewhere where my home was pounded over and over and over. How many times can you repair and move ahead? I know myself well enough to figure it would beat me down after time. Hope everyone stays safe and this is a little tiny thing that fizzles out by the time it gets to my texan beauty queen.
5. Graceland Mansion: Its being renovated or remodeled and Elvis fans cant go tour most of it to celebrat the anniversary of hir birth or death or something. Yawn.
This is really the 5th most searched term on the web? Its a sad sad world we live in.
OK off to drink a little lemonade as my last thing before surgery. wish me luck!

im sleepy
but i cant sleep. that has been the problem alot lately. i go to bed at a very decent hour hoping to catch up on sleep but end up never being able to fall asleep. at this point, 1147pm, i have been in bed an hour and a half with no luck. so i thought i would get up, do some stretching, write a short note here, and try again.
its very frustrating not being able to sleep...
ok enough complaining- whoever prayed, prayed loudly! my neck is about 80% better than it was yesterday so i am very thankful for that.
here is a pic for you! kk wavejumping in the ocean on our spring break trip to ocean shores.

stupid me
ok- so we all know i have been going thru off and on a tremendous amount of pain in my jaw because of my impacted infected wisdom teeth. we also know that mid-july i put my back out and was in the ER and have been healing slowly from that. ok since that isnt enough torture on my body, last night i decided to turn my head to get my hair out of my face and pinched a nerve in my neck. way to go huh.
im so tired of always being hurt or sick one way or another. i know that my back is going to be an ongoing problem for the rest of my life, and i have accepted that and try to be gentle and not overdo anything. my teeth wont be a problem after thursday when they get taken out. but what, now i cant even move my head without hurting myself? wtf is going on here? is this what it is like to get old? how many damn vitamins and suplpements do i need to take to be better? i understand like if my feet hurt cause i weigh more than my feet would like me to- but cmon now- being chubby cant be that hard on my neck! it would have to hold the same amount of weight on my head regardless. so why am i falling apart? i hate this one thing after another crap.
sorry for complaining. im jsut so tired of spending so much time taking it easy. i didnt even get dressed today. i stayed in bed for most of it, and i ahd actually made fun plans for kk and i that thankfully i didnt tell her about so she didnt get all bummed. its jsut really frustrating and hard not to get depressed.
so those of you who want to- pray for healing for my neck. i cannot afford to take any time off work to rest it. thanks.
im so tired of always being hurt or sick one way or another. i know that my back is going to be an ongoing problem for the rest of my life, and i have accepted that and try to be gentle and not overdo anything. my teeth wont be a problem after thursday when they get taken out. but what, now i cant even move my head without hurting myself? wtf is going on here? is this what it is like to get old? how many damn vitamins and suplpements do i need to take to be better? i understand like if my feet hurt cause i weigh more than my feet would like me to- but cmon now- being chubby cant be that hard on my neck! it would have to hold the same amount of weight on my head regardless. so why am i falling apart? i hate this one thing after another crap.

school supplies- a rant
piss me off. okay- not the supplies themselves. i love to shop for jsut about anything and office supply-type things are a particular weakness of mine. but school slately take all the fun out of it.
remember when we were kids and the lsit was like- five pencils, a box of crayons, some paper, and a binder? and it was really exciting because we got to get like a Lisa Frank notebook or one with frogs on it or something cool like that?
not anymore. first of all the lsit of required supplies is a page long. wtf?? dont rich people pay taxes so that schools can provide some of this crap? ok maybe i am all wrong. but in addition to everything i have to buy, the last two items on the required lsit are checks- one for an emergency preparedness kit- and one for a social studies magazine or something. oh- and its not jsut a wide-ruled notebook they want its this- and this is verbatim: "3 wide ruled composition books (PRIMARY Mead Cow Print- no spiral)"
ummmmm. ok fine. be specific. because the type of animal print on the notebook of a second grader is a life or death matter, right folks?
ok so i have no problem with wanting it all. i mean- i do the same thing. BUT when i go to three stores- including an office specialty store- and cannot find the cowbook- i am pissed. my blood is boiling. i decide, that with gas being $3 a gallon- i am getting her the staples brand cowbooks and if they dont like it they can kiss my ass. which is exactly what i told the slightly frightened cashier as i doled out my money.
im sorry- $65 worth of required supplies- not counting a backpack ($20) and two required checks ($7) makes $92 i spent on required supplies for kk. not counting the fact that half the crap on her list we already had for some odd reason and didnt cost us anything. Not counting clothes- shoes- a coat... i understand all those expenses!
OK a couple of the items on the list are silly to me. A large box of Kleenex. Ten bandaids. I know these go into a classroom pool and are used as needed. ok fine- small ticket items the bandaids- probably free since i have leftover superman bandaids from when i cut myself assembling a bookshelf back in february. but Kleenex can be like $4. and my kid wipes her nose on her shirt for free! so i am paying for some other kid with allergies and hay fever. sigh. ok bad example but come on now.
last year i got really mad when jsut a couple of the items on the supply lsit were asked to have her name put on them and a note said to NOT put her name on the rest of the items as they would go into a classroom pool. that pissed me off too since i buy kk all crayola stuff. im sorry but anyone who has attempted to color with roseart crayons or no-name crayons knows the difference in quality and colorability i am talking about. why should the $3 crayons that work really good that i bought for my sweet precious daughter go into a pool with some moron kids cheapass crayons that his mom spent 48 cents on because she knows he will break them all anyway? i guess it is a little bit of my recessive capitalist gene i have that says- i bought the good stuff- i should benefit from my decision to do so.
i know im making a mountain out of a molehill... and i am a-ok with that. everything is bought, i am writing her name on every single flipping thing i bought tomorrow with black sharpie OOOH or maybe pink sharpie i dont know i have about 30 diff colors of sharpies since last month i took the 3 girls to old navy and we all bought matching white flip flops and i let them color on them with sharpies. fun cheap project- the markers cost more than the 4 pairs of sandals!
OK cool- getting to use sharpies cheered me up. because really as an adult how often do you get to use sharpies?
so my jaw hurts again- at least the timing is good i can take a perc and go to bed. night all!

Help! My kitchen has The Funk
there is a smell in my kitchen. i dont know where it comes from. i clean it all the time so there isnt even anything i see that could possibly be making my kitchen smell. any ideas? i am very sensitive to smells and it sucks being here because i smell it over candles, room spray, lysol, everything. i already pour like a cup or two of concentrated bleach down the drain every evening and it is like all it does is make my kitchen smell like bleach for half an hour and then it is back to being smelly. i have no fresh produce out. my bread isnt moldy. my trash is empty, my garbage can is clean. what the heck? someone help me!
college
ok so before i moved here i looked online to see if there were any extension 4yr campuses around and i couldnt find anything in the area so i was a little bummed that it was jsut another roadblock in my path to a 4yr degree. BUT in the mail the other day came a catalog- called The View (which since i hate that damn show so much i almost had kk throw in the recycling without even looking to see what it was) which is the course catalog for the local community college here. In it there are three 4yr colleges that hold classes at the comm coll which is about 5 minutes up the road from me. how exciting! i mean really- i love school and want more than anything to be able to go back and get a million degrees. i think maybe i will go back to my business degree because it is ok enough as far as interesting to me, and i have all my courses towards that enyways completed from TCC. And i think a business degree is much more attainable than a masters in any psych field in the foreseeable future.
So here is my question to you: What should I major in? You guys know me. well some of you do- and the ones who dont- let me know anyways! maybe you have always thought i would make a good something-or-other and i would have never thought of that if it werent for your contribution. so let me know- i am open to any suggestion.
till next time...

perseids
for those of you who dont know, the perseid meteor shower is the best chance us washingtonians have for some really good shooting star action. it happens every summer and the peak of action this year will be sunday night early monday morning, with an average view of 60-80 stars an hour. but i thought since it is supposed to be cloudy sunday i would take kk out tonight and see if she saw any.
we drove around for a bit looking for jsut the right star-gazing area- it had to be dark and away from the glow of city lights, and have a view of a big chunk of northeastern sky. we didnt find one so instead we went out in the front yard which actually turned out to have a pretty good view of sky. we were going to lay on the trampoline but it was already dewy. so anyways kk didnt see any but i saw one big bright fast one, and she got to see a satellite which fascinated her... and of course me as well. we will try again tomorrow night- and you should too!
today at work wasnt awful- just awfully busy. i am having fun actually (ssshh dont tell anyone) sourcing and trying to find better pricing on some of our items. this week i think was the first time i really kind of felt like i belonged at work and that i did have a clue what i was doing- like my boss keeps trying to tell me. she always says i am doing so good and that everyone else had walked out by that point out of sheer frustration so good for me for not only still being there- but trying every day to learn more and do better. and for the first time- i felt like i was. dont think i am getting too comfortable tho- things are so fluid the only thing that stays the same is the chaos! but its fun chaos. i hate being bored at work so it is nice to NOT be.
i havent taken any pills for about a week. not like i have a problem with taking too many pills- it jsut seems like there is always something broken on me that needs medication :P just last week- every night i was in such excrutiating jaw pain that it was vicodin, percoset, tylenol, motrin all alternated jsut to be able to sleep thru the pain and function in the morning... and a weak muscle relaxer during the day to stop my back spasms- or at least to allow me to work thru them. did i tell you my jaw pain mysteriously disappeared? it is the weirdest thing. someone out there must have been praying hard!
i want to go to wild waves. i jsut dont want to pay that much money, wait in those lines, or deal with all the screaming bratty kids. i swear- other people are allowed to have kids just to remind me that my own kid is really not that bad! every time we watch supernanny or nanny911 kk and i talk about what brats those kids are and how mean the parents are (which jsut feeds off each other) and i tell her how glad i am she is not like those kids. maybe its not the most PC thing to do but i have never really cared about being PC.
ok that is enough for now- go catch a falling star!

celebration!
so today is another typical wednesday night blog- where i am writing in between scenes of Top Chef... except for one big change... I turned 10,000 days old today!!!!
happy some-weird-bday to me, to me! a very merry unbirthday :P
so today didnt suck at all because it was payday and i paid a bunch of bills and have a good chunk left over. tomorrow is costco (frozen petite haricots verts- steam them in the microwave add some johnnys popcorn salt and a little spray butter and YUMMMMM) and um some budget mass merchandiser to be named later.
so i got a new curtain rod which is black and scrolly but also like kind of abstract and for a long time i have liked the idea of doing my room in really dark plummish kind of shades and cool crisp white and dramatic swirly black for accents. ill put up pictures in 45 years when its done!
so i got 6.5 of my 10 things accomplished over the last four months. i dont really know how i feel about that. i learned some things though- like how to wax a car, where the beaches and parks are around here, and the 7-11... and the grocery stores... and the home depot... and also not on the list but over the past four months i have learned more about myself as a woman, a mom, an employee, a strong person, a girlfriend-type, a friend, and a daughter. oh yeah- and i learned how to safely transport fish by yourself while moving.
if any advice is needed from any of you fantabulous readers on any of the above- im only a comment away :)
tomorrow i think i will go in-depth on my list of ten and see about more goals for the future.
good night my lovelies!

how YOU doin?
so work was not so sucky today... could this be the start of a trend? yeah right :P
in other news- the trampoline is all done and trampolining has begun! kk maria gloria and i got about 75 of 84 hooks done and i jsut could not get the rest of them done so i had to rest because my arms felt like they were going to fall off. i was in watching the news or some other lame crap and i heard the girls giggling. i went out front and they were helping my next door neighbor finish up the trampoline. shes strong for a little woman! she said something about having a bunch of frustration to get out so she thought she would take it out on the trampoline. so everyone won in the end. i made pizza and cookies and everyone ate crap food and jumped on the trampoline and finished up an excellent perfect fun summer evening by watching big brother 8 and flipping out. there is a show called- flipping out- i wasnt flipping out lol.
yeah i am a reality tv whore. so sue me. who cares if its scripted- i find it entertaining. i wish all my fave shows were on 3 nights a week. no i dont id weigh 6000 pounds!
ok in other news.... i am tracking expenses this month like every penny in a computer program but i am not counting the debit/credit transaction of child support in, trampoline out haha yeah that doesnt go in my Album of Smartest Money Moves Ever but as the days go by (actually its only been one day) i regret it less and less.
ok i know poor readers that i am being incredibly lame lately. is it possible that so much guy drama has gone out of my life that i have become more boring that ever? yeah entirely possible.
so here is where i call on you to suggest topics. i am a good writer and can write about anything in an entertaining fashion. challenge me.
the ball is in your court! :)
have a great hump day all

trampolining
if it isnt a word it should be.
anyways- so we went school clothes shopping today- which was pretty sweet because there was like no one else at the store
wait- maybe before i do anymore school shopping, i should make sure kks school doesnt have uniforms!
ok so we got some cute things and some cereal and shampoo because thats all i could remember off my shopping list and for some ridiculous reason i asked if they had any trampolines and of course they did, and of course they werent on sale, and of course i had enough money to get one, so i did. a 14' band one, not the spring kind, but man it is a biznatch to get set up. i think i am going to have to bite the bullet and find some man to finish putting it together.
soem readers may remember that back when kk was being all miss talky talky in school and i was getting emails from her teacher, i told her that if she could make it the rest of the year with no more emails i would think about getting a trampoline. well- not only that, but that if i DID get another email there would be absolutely no trampoline. so not only did she behave the rest of the year, i got unsolicited good emails from her teacher about how quiet and undisruptive she was.
so yeah im a briber, im a sucker, im a _____ dont finish that.
i should take a pic in the morning of what it looks like now and then another when it is finished HA im sure it will look like night and day.
in completely unrelated news- and true leslie style- i had NO tooth pain today, well a little minor jaw pain but that was it- i was so appreciative! jsut wish i knew what the magic combo was so i could do it again and guarantee no toothpain tomorrow.
dont forget i am taking boyfriend applications.
sayanara or something!

i fixed something
all by myself! my garage door opener was not letting the door come down- so i realigned the sensors- since i knew kk had bumped them even though i gave her a biiiiiiiiig lecture about it- and tada! yeah i know big deal right? im proud of myself so :P
what else did i get done today? regular mom stuff- laundry, dishes, finished organizing the office and putting everything away, baking turkey, watched the hydros and air show on tv instead of being there which sucked BUT gave me more incentive to get that boat and spend the next year fixing it up so i can go to seafair in it next year! go kayleigh perkins!
the neighbor guy bought me tacos and a push-pop today. i dunno why but that popsicle hit the spot. sweet of him.
progress is being made on the front steps but i realize i am about to run out of bricks so i will have to get some more. if anyone has spare bricks sitting around let me know and i will come get some.
i cant wait to get these damn teeth out. im so tired of being in pain- not beiong able to get to sleep, then not being able to stay asleep- then the first couple hours are excrutiating. an ice pack is helping though thank goodness.
i am glad big brother is on on demand :) i missed all but the first two minutes tonight so no one tell me what happened.
hmmm i promised something interesting tonight. im trying.
i hate that two-sided feeling of 'it would be nice to have a man in my life but the lack of drama and being misunderstood is flipping Awesome.' hmmm maybe its time to answer a personal ad or at least check them out to see whos around. seems like everyone in this town is married or trash. or both. im sure i am missing the good ones that are left because i know there are some. right?
i will leave you with a pic of kk maria and gloria at the carnival last weekend.

8 minutes left in the day
so i am currently talking to the mysterious kks dad on yahoo msgr right now. talk about conflicted feelings and practicing keeping my mouth shut. but anyways. so yeah it is taking everything out of me so i am leaving today at that and will be back tomorrow with at least one thing interesting i promise.
Oh yeah- I finished clear-coating my car- one more thing off my list! Monday or wednesday is bank account day- wednesday would be my last day to do it. we will see if i can.
remind me to talk about the boat tomorrow.

sucks
i didnt get my child suport today so i cant take kk to seafair like i had planned- i had made a whole weekend of it but i cant even get there and get in for the $25 i have. i hate money.
so instead we are going to stay at home and work on the house and yard, and try to get it all ready to maybe have a little get-together next weekend. i know i said lets go out but my babysitter had a family emergency and that of course is waaaaay more important that whatever dumb thing i wanted to do. i jsut hope everything is ok- her nephew is in the hospital and things dont look great for him so pray for her and her family if you are that type. thank you.
so today at work was not quite as sucky as most days. but it was no fun when kk was outside knocking on the babysitters door for 13 minutes in the rain because the sitter slept thru her alarm. i was going to be 5 minutes early to work for once and ended up being 5 minutes late and couldnt stop to get gas like i had planned so i was rushing all afternoon.
im really bummed about seafair.
so tomorrow depending on weather i am going to either organize my office or clear coat my car. i know clear-coating is on The List so it has a higher priority but i dont feel like being out there in the humidity. maybe that will change tomorrow.
wow im flippin boring today lol. hmm can i think of anything interesting?
oh- i saw a cute bumper sticker that said FREE TIBET in huge letters then below it it said ...with purchase of 44oz drink. i hope you get that joke.
ok im lame- time to let pictures say 1000 words i cant think of on this lazy friday night:
...
never mind- i cant find my camera connect cord. and i got distracted sorting the linen closet. no pics tonight. ciao bellas :)

August 10th
Lets go dancing. I have a sitter. Everybody is invited um ask me where if u want to go. I think with the very soon upcoming 10,000th day birthday, it is time to revisit my list and see what is left to do that i can possibly accomplish in 6 days. Lets review:
1. Move back to Gig Harbor DONE
2. Get KK in YMCA after-school care DONE- but now I have to do it again. But i am still couting this one done!
3. Arrange Financial Aid for my E.R. bills DONE and approved to only pay for my xray :)
4. Acquire car insurance THIS one is not going to happen. It isnt in the budget right now. Maybe next year.
5. Get a decent raise OR a higher paying job DONE
6. Be in some kind of fabulous relationship WELL i wasted 6 months on something that could never have been anything- and now for some reason i am turning down dates with incredibly decent (and cute) guys... this one needs some more self- analysis- but i can definitely mark it NOT done
7. Lose 20 pounds (or more) LOST ten. I will give myself half credit for this one

OK so with 6 days left to go before i turn 10,000 days old, i will go clear coat some now. and some each day and hopefully be done in 6 days.

In other news, I went back to the blog of that guy i wasted 6 months on- wow- i have one thing to say- What the hell was i thinking?!?!?!?!?! that guy was soooo wrong for me- i guess a decent guy in his own right (till the cowardly liar side came out at the end)- but come on now- i am so not into greedy dickhead types. anywho- learning experience right? I know I came out ahead on that one- at least i know not to ever date a guy that i have to talk myself into looking at let alone making out with ever again!!! bring on the at least semi-cute chubby guys! I know you are out there!
Tomorrow brings Friday! Which makes one mroe week I dont get fired- yay- i think. i swear that place makes me violent lol i have to go for a drive at lunch just to not walk out of there sometimes. i know it is a good match for me but getting to where i need to be is so incredibly hard at times. Somebody give me a pep talk.

My jaw hurts!
OK so if this blog seems a little disjointed, i have to admit i am writing during Top Chef commercial breaks.
Yeah my jaw hurts... I have an appointment on the 16th to have my wisdom teeth pulled on the right side of my mouth, I had the two on the left side of my mouth pulled when i was 8 or 9 by the same oral surgeon that is doing it this time. I went in last week to have my little anesthesia talk and panoramic mouth x-ray thing done and they told me i had grown another wisdom tooth in my left upper jaw. No freaking wonder i am such a genius! (lame I KNOW) so yeah i get to have had 5 wisdom teeth pulled in my life woohoo right? Anyways i look forward to the pain being gone. vicodin and percoset barely take the edge off. no i dont take them at the same time :P
i love top chef... but i would much (wow i totally forgot for a second how to spell much) rather eat that food than cook it- as most of u know by now lol but sometimes after i watch it i get all domestic and have like all four burners and the oven going at once. then i pig out for like yeah well till it is gone lol thankfully i bought a scale and although the number on it is always way higher than i want it to be, as long as it doesnt continually get bigger i am cool with it. i dont have to weigh a little number to know im one hot mama
so the girls and i have been working on the front staircase. who are the girls? me, kk, and two of her friends who are also neighbors and seem to be at my house constantly. which is fine- they are sweethearts. anyways, i have a 14-step staircase going down the hill in front of my house. the driveway is on a hill and the guy who lived here before me was really old, so the handyman built him this little staircase with a railing going from the street to the house. It is jsut packed dirt framed in wood, but i had a bunch of bricks and decided that to add a little traction to the stairs, i would put a row of bricks at the front of each step so it isnt jsut loose dirt. so we have to dig out the dirt- which works much better with the claw end of the hammer than a hand shovel, for some reason... anyways its fun. but my butt muscles are sore from the weird positioning to stand on a hill and dig.
i really like my new place. you should come see it. yeah YOU. i can say that to everybody because the whopping two people who have come to see my place both dont read this blog lol
barbeque at fat rascals tomorrow night for dinner. yeehaw- cant wait for that. will make getting thru my horrendous workday worthwhile.
the bridge disaster in minnesota... i know some folks who moved there when my old job closed down and transferred to about 15 minutes away from minneapolis. i hope everyone is ok. i only have one friend really more of a close work colleague that i know in minnesota and she is far away but i am thinking of everyone out there. one of the guys who was there who called into MSNBC said that people couldnt see at one point in front of them that the bridge had collapsed so they jsut drove into the hole... which scared me being so close to the narrows bridge. that was always one of my fears. i thought about it every time i crossed the bridge late late at night or early early in the morning when there were no other cars on it- what if there are no cars coming in the other direction because it has collapsed in the middle and they are all driving off the bridge into the water? i try to tell myself that could never happen but... obviously it can. i am thankful my bridge days are behind me for the most part.
